Vlad,
How about starting a new thread with only the values/systems you want? With short, simple sentences. Less than 30 of them.
You'd make it self-moderated. No discussion there, only people stating their price to do it.
Then you chose one, you never change the details, you never criticize publicly the dev doing it and you leave him a DECENT time to do it.

I'm sure this would end better than the current shitstorm.

Not sure it would end well. But definitely better than what happened here.



Edit:
And listen to people when you don't know shit about something. Your VGB thing doesn't fucking help small miners.

Android is a bunch of slow java shit with complicated user interface. Oh, and it reboots for no reason every now and then. I'm not a fan of iPhone either but of these two, iPhone all the way.

Have you had much experience with newer Android phones? Since they updated to 4.2 the UI is super smooth
yes. Ics improved UI performance. Still, the fastest android UI on the latest hardware cannot be as pleasant as the iOS experience. Here's why:

Android system doesn't have as strict control over the behaviour of core features such as (the many different)  launchers and multitasking. A badly designed app has never been able to crash of freeze the iOS system and it's GUI on my (now sold) iPhone or iPad. On my current android phone, there has never been a case where an application freeze wouldn't cause a system crash or system freeze for prolonged period.
tl:dr android system fails to control badly behaving apps.

This has to do with the above, but android phones also have generally worse batterylife. Where iOS aggressively kills background apps, android allows them to run.

And my most hated thing about it is the lack of simplity. iOS has the highest user satisfaction because it's so simple. Android used to be simplier, but lately it has become a total mess.
I so disagree with that. I have the exact opposite experience.
Big apps are killed on Android but made my iPhone unusable even after manually killing them. My i5's battery literally died 6months after first use (went from 21h to 2h). I never understood how Apple put all the settings... Half in the app, half in the settings, half in settings>app.

I had an iPhone 5 and now a Nexus 4. I'd never come back.

Why do exchange rates. Make an app so when I look at a store it tells me if they accept bitcoins.
That would make your right eye red insensitive

Yeah a dead man switch is what I had in mind in case the 2BTC are kept in a cold wallet whose key is only known by the escrow
2886  Other / Off-topic / Re: Bitcoin Bling Bet on: July 16, 2013, 02:41:50 PM
An escrow for 4 years is a bit risky
The possibility of him dying before it is not negligeable IMO

I like how he gave 500,000 of the Miner's Coins away to random people... not the miners who he supposedly made paid someone $20 to make the coin for...
Interesting fact indeed

2891  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: So Many AltCoins,- How about creating Universal One? on: July 16, 2013, 10:20:30 AM
Has it ever been proposed before?
let me guess, your going to create it?

The topic of this poll is:

"Universal Community Coin (Open Source, no asics) everyone able to mine."

It also makes me sad that many users on this forum have no idea what open source is.



makes me even sader that people develop a crypto in order to mine Sad

Not only sad, but scary

My Android never rebooted alone. Did you try any Android 3.0+?

I'm not agreeing with Vlad's wild conspiracy theories, I'm just pointing out that such an attack is technically indeed not as infeasible as some seemed to imply.

See: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=248645.msg2640864#msg2640864

Also as was pointed out earlier there are several comparatively efficient potential strategies to gain >50%, invest a few $M in ASICs, run major mining pools then subvert them, subvert and/or DDoS existing pools..
I disagree with him calling that an attack to "manipulate the source code", but I can see how that sort of attack would be very damaging. I can't imagine anyone spending the money to do it though.

Well effectively it would dictate code/protocol changes the minority of the network has to follow if they don't want to lose their coins, that's basically what "manipulate the source code" means, as jl2012 points out

Winklevoss uses the word "manipulate", which means "to influence or manage shrewdly or deviously".

And yeah I agree the effect would be very damaging, can't really imagine anybody doing it either though, given the still enormous resource requirements.
"If they don't want to lose their coins"?
If a gov gets 51% of the hash power and changes the protocol, my client will tell its blocks to fuck off and yet I'd still be able to spend my coins on the old network... The blocks my client would accept are the ones created with the non-gov client

And if nobody switch to the gov client, the gov would hash a blockchain that is used by no one except itself
The idea is that an attacker could push changes by only allowing a subset of valid blocks through. Your client would seem them as valid and would always stick to the attacker's longer valid chain.
Ok I get what you meant now

2899  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Pywallet: manage your wallets/addresses/keys/tx's on: July 16, 2013, 08:12:10 AM
I did verify the path and filename.

Look at that error message again - it's trying to open "wallet.dat/main".  I certainly didn't type in the "/main" - the program somehow added that to the default filename.  Make sense?
Yes it's ok, it's a part of code from the original pywallet because main is the database name, and this doesn't change with the actual wallet path (even savingswallet.dat would be labelled in this error as wallet.dat/main).
This error happens when pywallet cant' read the file. Are you sure the file is readable? Try opening notepad and open the path you put in pywallet.
Just to be sure, it's a wallet.dat from the satoshi client, right?
