1301  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: IMPORTANT: Please, help! Can I trust coinb.in's multi-signature escrow? on: March 12, 2016, 06:55:33 PM
Probably. That seems to be an online wallet where you don't own your keys, so I'd say no.


With all due respect, I was referring to their escrow-service..  and not to their wallet.

Their escrow is a multi-signature one, which means we all(the seller, the admin and me) hold one key of the 3...

That's exactly the thing... If you want to use their service, use it offline without having them as a mediator. But ultimately it's your call Smiley

You can. But you'll have a harder time signing a message in a secure way (unless some mobile client that I do not know about allows message signing)
1304  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satisfaction rating - Bitcoin Core Developers on: March 09, 2016, 05:14:59 PM
I voted 90%. At the moment I'm pretty satisfied with the Core team: they've realized that Bitcoin as is cannot continue too far in the future and they've presented a solution, a pretty solid roadmap. Let's see if things will work out. Even if they don't, they'll work out in another way.
1305  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: It looks like Bitcoin charities are starting to voice opinions on scalability on: March 09, 2016, 01:26:48 PM
If the guy runs a charity using Bitcoin, of course these kinds of discussions are essential and important for them... They will eventually help maintain their charity operation or break them. I think it's very important they voice their own opinion, as their actions are supposed to empower a lot of people and this should not be halted due to issues in Bitcoin's technical progress.
1306  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: will this transaction ever get confirmed? on: March 09, 2016, 12:57:25 PM
The node I currently have online doesn't know about it either. If it's yours, push the raw transaction here or here
1307  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Moving blockchain to another drive on ubuntu on: March 09, 2016, 10:54:25 AM
bitcoind -daemon -datadir=/path/to/mystoragedrive/.bitcoin

The solution you seek is in your post already... Just move the data to the drive you want and specify it's path with the datadir command.
1308  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: trezor the device to storage your bitcoin on: March 09, 2016, 10:51:02 AM
You can get more info on hardware wallets here.

As for Trezor you can read reviews here, here, here and probably many other places if your search further on Google.

As for safety, you can review Trezor's code yourself and you can read about exploits found on the device. I'm not really paying attention, but so far I've only seen one, that's already fixed.

1310  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What "facts" you heard about Bitcoin is not true? on: March 09, 2016, 10:38:37 AM
I've been lucky enough not to be too misinformed about Bitcoin so far... But the biggest lie I've heard was that Bitcoin was basically a profit machine.

1312  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: 'Vote with your bitcoins' system in Core on: March 08, 2016, 03:38:39 PM


The voting issuance would work like this:

-It would be set a minimum amount for example 1 BTC, or lower, so that to avoid spam, and this would be paid to miners in some way.
-The minimum amount can be paid like as a crowdfunding if multiple little guys want to vote, or if a larger entity wants to hold a voting then they can pay it directly
-But other than this anyone can issue the voting


Are you sure you would like this? This would mean that if I had 10000 BTC and you had 10 BTC my opinion would be more valid than yours... You can have 0 BTC and have very accurate and valid opinions about Bitcoin.

Exactly, because if you have no stake in it then you can just as likely to be a saboteur trying to sabotage bitcoin.

You can still have great ideas about anything, but the same way you have no decision in corporate affairs either, you need to be a majority shareholder to have a say in it.

If you are talented then you can still put out your opinions in a white paper, formally and backed with evidence, but it's just that the bitcoin holders have the final say in it, after all it's their coin.

This is true. Just like you can have a lot of coins, support a certain change that you believe might raise the price, actually get it to raise or wait for it to raise and then dump. I agree that having a lot of coins most likely makes you are very interested in Bitcoin and it is unlikely that there are people like this that will just dump when they see a price they deem to be good. However I don't have many coins and I'm deeply interested in seeing Bitcoin succeed, for reasons much bigger than private profit and/or monetary gains and I want to be regarded and listened to if I have an idea that's really worth implementing.

This is unpowering the poor, exactly like the monetary system we already have in place, and I have to disagree with it. I can see what you mean with your voting system proposal, but I still don't think it's reasonable to have this. The risk of having a rogue party trying to disrupt Bitcoin is, I think, nothing compared to having a poor party trying to get a good point across and failing to be heard, in a system where you pay to be heard, or at least where you pay to get changes implemented. Governments would then be able to have a large stake on what concerns Bitcoin...

Its because the 1 user holds more risk alone, he actually put 400$ of his money or labour in bitcoin , and for that risk he should be rewarded with voting power.

If one is not willing to risk this amount for a greater good of Bitcoin, then I think one has to reconsider his stake in Bitcoin... Power comes with responsability. We would be doomed if a person with such power would be irresponsible.

Please don't take my replies as a negative criticism. It's just my opinion Smiley I have a pretty strong opinion on this subject and I hope I got my point across just as nicely as you've been getting yours.
1313  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: same bitcoin adresses for alt cryptocurrencies? on: March 08, 2016, 03:17:09 PM
Your transaction would get rejected. Bitcoin verifies addresses and it's very difficult for it to accept addresses from altcoins. A quick search on Google gives you some info.

Bit it say I have a lot of confirmations. :S

I see you edited your post with an address. That's an address on the Bitcoin network.

1315  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Is it possible to run a full Bitcoin Node on a NAS server/box? on: March 08, 2016, 02:55:53 PM
What kind of NAS server do you have? Specs?

I've been trying a variety of other old linux boxes.  Though not NAS I can report the following:
Anything less than 1.6GB RAM forget it.
Anything less than 2 cores x 1.6 GHz cpu forget it.

Why?

Fast HDD access seems to be worth having.

Yes, this comes in handy...

So in all likelihood, expect a slow initial synch and reindex.  If it has less than 4 cpu.GHz then each day of new blockchain data may take more than a day to index and process.

The first part is true, the second is not.

Yes indeed. I was able to use and run this on my ongoing business and everything comes out with a great results. All you need to do is to be more specific. Thanks

What do you mean by ongoing business?

Is this supposed to be a physical Bitcoin?
1317  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are Governments Beginning to Accept the Undeniable Future of Digital Currency? on: March 07, 2016, 09:22:45 PM
Governments aren't accepting Digital Currencies as we know and/or want them. They're just embracing the fact that they can build a private blockchain and run it as they wish Roll Eyes
1318  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mac ransomware campaign that asks for 1 Bitcoin on: March 07, 2016, 03:55:18 PM
It was a matter of time until this was implemented. And they took advantage of a recently updated software that made a big bang when it was released as it didn't get an update for a year.

says there that the ransomware made its way through torrents. now I don't use mac but I regularly download files from torrents. are my files in danger too? what do I do to prevent it?

This is not being distributed via torrents. It is being transmitted via the install file from Transmission, which is a torrent client. You can protect yourself using essentially common sense and some kind of anti virus software to help Smiley
1319  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Free Idea - Nintendo DS Bitcoin Wallet on: March 05, 2016, 11:04:39 PM
Why? DS software is built with gaming in mind... The camera is very low quality, it apparently has only 16MB of RAM, and low storage (although this seems to be expandable). This does not seem to be a good platform to build a Bitcoin client.
1320  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can we reopen this pull request? (remove Classicbase from bitcoin.org) on: March 05, 2016, 12:58:59 AM
Why? To further separate waters and create another bash-worthy discussion? There is no need... If we're going to do that, might as well remove all web wallets, because they do not comply with Bitcoin basics, because users of those wallets can't store the keys themselves.


The CEO recently declared Coinbase NOT a wallet. Everything else aside, they should be removed anyway. They don't belong.

Thank you for your clarification, then they should really be removed either ways (and not because what client they run or don't run). Was not aware of that as I've never used online wallets Cheesy
