Haven't checked my node to see if this version appeared there too. That being said there are many, many weird peers on the network... Also curious about those "Snoopy" versions that were out there, "0.9.99", "Marilyn" and many other curious ones I've seen throughout the years  |

Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: 'Vote with your bitcoins' system in Core

This is not feasible. The advantages of having such a system do not justify the work needed to implement it. I also don't see how this could be implemented on the code (but I'm not a coding expert). Also, this is why we have places to discuss... And this too: -Vote with your money, the more money you have the more voting power, running it just like a stock company
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. |

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: First OpenBazaar transaction went through
|

I bought USB cables on OpenBazaar over a year ago.
As for the updated OpenBazaar, I was trying to use the prebuilt binarys on Linux 64 and Win 64, but many of the directories the binary looks for are dead links.
If anyone got the 64-Bit binarys to work without many file changes, I would be surprised.
I do keep in mind this is just a test release and many bugs are expected.
Already used it on the mainnet a year ago? |

I wonder what the price of electricity in China is. I would guess it's along the lines of 5 cents a kilowatt or something. Does anyone know the real price?
You can check that here. It's more or less that, some places go as far as 2/3 cents if I'm not mistaken. |

This was everywhere back then. Here's and exampleAnd they're not the biggest mining operation in China... And half a year later they most likely got hit with Chinese mines using hydro power. Not sure where they're at now, it would be cool to see what's up with them a year later. I doubt they had shut down and if they did, it was probably just to move location to where power is cheaper. The guy is a legend. Better than seeing an Ethereum video  |

Economy / Collectibles / Re: Looking for The Times 03/Jan/2009 Newspaper to purchase
|

The silliness in this and the other threads is strong. Newspapers don't make good collectibles anyway imo. I have 2 papers frim 9/11/01 that have not held up well.
It's not silly when something has value. This is true, & I won't argue that. I just question whether a newspaper from this particular date has any real value. And I'm warning against keeping newspapers as collectibles. It's hard to do. And the only real reason I question value in this case is because of the ridiculous amounts that are being asked. To me, it does, and to many other people too... And it has quite a high value that I, unfortunately, can't afford  I think placing this in a glassed frame would help conserve it for quite a few years. This is a bit like Bitcoin itself: why do people value it?  Why not you search on google?if you only need the news,you can find this online for reading
The article in question is a collectible... Unless you feel searching for the article online and printing it is the same as having the physical edition of The Times from that day, then you're totally right |

Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Moving forward with Armory

on: March 03, 2016, 07:20:48 PM

I just quickly want to chime in and also thank all the people that have worked on Armory so far and will do so in the future. I is my favorite wallet and I will follow this new branch closely. What is the best channel to follow about major new features and releases? Is there a donation address for this new OS Armory branch?
The best channel to know more about new releases is here, especially this thread, for now. As said before, no donations accepted by goatpig, at least for now. |

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: RPi Zero BTC Node?
|
on: March 02, 2016, 09:17:42 AM

Pi 3 is already released and going out fast (but not enough to be already out of stock, so you can get it fairly easily). 64 bit will certainly be an advantage for things related to cryptography... But we'll see if it will be a major improvement for Bitcoin. I doubt that a bit. An improvement to run a node would be more RAM, and that's not possible with the current SoC on the Pi.
Wow that was really fast. So that means I could get my hands on one and improve my BTC node. Still, I would also order a Pine 64+ which has bigger RAM and will be suitable for running a BTC node as well. Well, it took some time for development, but yes, it was quite fast to be released after the rumors. After all, Raspberry Pi's anniversary day was the best and obvious choice to release a new product. Pine gives you 2GB + Wi-Fi for 39$, excluding shipping, making a little bit more expensive and shipping in May only... I'm not sure if I'll be getting one just to upgrade RAM in order to run a bigger node as my personal usage does not require 2GB RAM (neither a Wi-Fi chip for that matter... I'd settle for 2GB without Wi-Fi which has a much more appealing price). Also, no reviews and low community support doesn't inspire me confidence in Pine, yet. Things might change if or when I can afford running bigger nodes just because |
