The source code is relicensed under the MIT Licence Any impacts on the end user with this change? Does it affect altcoin Electrum spinoffs? And out of curiousity, why did you change license? Alternative coin selection policy, designed to help preserve user privacy. Enable it by setting the Coin Selection preference to Privacy. Sound interesting, I'll be sure to test this

Who controls bitcoinarmory.com? It appears that the site is back up and different from the old one. It also has the latest versions posted.
Edit: typos
Domain seems to be still controlled by etotheipi... I wouldn't trust it though.

Copay seems to support BIP32, so you can probably restore your Electrum seed there. Not sure if it allows for seed restore on a Windows device, tho... If it does it would be a great addition to the spreadsheet on this thread

Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Classic Roadmap annonced

This is what we need: alternatives. Discussion. Finally these guys have something to say about what they intend to deliver. They're not aiming low, that for sure... And that can be either good or bad. We'll see about that in the future.
If by "intend to deliver" you mean wait for Core to do most of the work and copy-paste it, then I agree. No, if they're delivering what they say they are, they're not simply copy+pasting. As things stand right now, I believe Core will succeed, and not Classic (at least in short-medium term), but none of us holds the truth, so what I'm saying might be wrong in a few months/years. As I said, we'll see what happens So far we only know XT failed in implementing some of its changes

And that can be either good or bad. We'll see about that in the future. Their roadmap seems interesting, but I don't think it is complete... Hope they start talking more about it in the next few days. The roadmap is also late. It's coming after a pretty solid roadmap from the Bitcoin Core team... But better late than never First it was XT breaking through, now Classic. Let's see where this goes. I'm definitely curious.

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: f2pool has provided an option to miners to express opinion on 2mb debate
|
on: February 25, 2016, 02:08:37 PM

What now? They don't seem to be running a modified client. I guess they're still on Core...
What kind of system are they employing in order to ask the miners for their opinion? Different stratums like one pool did earlier? Maybe they're just polling their users...
They run Core, it's just a voting mechanism and apparently not even a good one. We can only judge on their voting system efficiency if we know how does it work. Didn't find answers neither on twitter, neither on their page. Is it something miners activate on their personal logins in the pool's page?

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Parameters for heavy duty full node
|
on: February 25, 2016, 02:04:37 PM
|
A "heavy duty" node is a node with lots of RAM and nice bandwidth... There's not much else to it A fast SSD and a nice processor also help. Thanks, but obviously my node with its 8 CPUs, 64GB RAM, 2.2GB/s IO and dedicated 1Gps right on the ISP switch is nowhere near utilizing the hardware with the default parameters. That's why I am asking how to tweak these to make use of the hardware (and be useful to the network). Rico If that's so, then maybe we found an overkill node How much RAM is bitcoind using?

I don't think it draws attention to your transactions, especially because it's supposed to do the opposite... It's supposed to give you fresh coins in order to further enhance your privacy. It's also not designed or especially made for criminals, they just find it useful because of obvious reasons.
For the normal person it's a good tool to make your spending more private if you accidentally end up making your addresses known. Too bad many of these services turn out to be ran by scammers...
As for if they're worth using or not... Not really for me, but it has it's advantages.

Is Vern nowhere to be found? He is a pretty widely known person that has had many public appearances throughout the years, probably many know how to reach him and how to reach Cryptsy without requiring much investigation.
The question is also if someone's after the guy that hacked Satoshi's email, the one that threatened Roger Ver and the guy who used to do heavy DDOS on Bitcoin sites...
As for bounty hunters on darknet, I don't know if there are any, but I imagine there are.

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Govts want crypto they can control
|
on: February 25, 2016, 08:08:05 AM

Nice article. Similar has been discussed previously on the forums... Government and banks want to issue their own cryptocurrency and then control pretty much everything you make... This sentence really made me think: But it could make sense for governments to dump cash. I know "dump" here is in the sense of leave cash behind, but maybe a government's cryptocurrency may have a hidden premine for them to spend however they please
