Is it possible to attach a screen to the Pi 2 and have it run information like the bitnodes hardware did? Their LCD code is here, how would one use this to have information being presented on screen?

Your next move should be waiting until it finishes syncing.

BTW, there's an Armory sub-forum.

Add an address of the coin you wish to calculate the prefix's Base58 in front of address= on that link and you have the coin version number.

Buy a new drive or more VPS space

I was referring only to the aspect of private keys on the restaurant's side. That's not possible unless you explicitly give them the private key. However, ATM cards can be copied and passcodes retrieved.

As for the rest, yes, Bitcoin is not ready for prime time like that (not ready for Visa-like amount of TPS).

Despite that it would require some effort to double spend a transaction

Well didn't expect this to be any good but it's actually quite informative and also funny

I don't really get it what happened after reading the article, did they have an exploit on their POS systems? Chip readers? Or do their equipments store sensitive information and were hacked?

And yes, Bitcoin would definitely solve this issue...

This is not new. It's just an improvement on previously disclosed ideas, which is pretty much what everyone is doing.

I guess pretty much all devs know where they want to go and have their plans more or less straight after all the discussions a few months back. Now it's just about who delivers the best product, faster.

One definitely cannot access bitcointalk on mobile the same way he does on a computer. And it's definitely not compatible with all devices

Bitcointalk is definitely not suited for any mobile browser, either on iOS or Android. Definitely not the same experience on mobile in terms of ease of use.


The issue isn't loading times.

I share OP's concerns, I hope the new forum is mobile friendly. OP, I guess we'll just have to wait

Could you translate the lottery conditions to English? Google Translate isn't being very helpful.

Also, I don't see any confirmation on the thread from the escrow provider...

You're probably out of luck anyways. Withdrawals have been stopped and are severely crippled at the moment. You can see a list of coins you can withdraw on Cryptsy's blog

A blockchain can easily be run with just one person, just look at altcoins... From everything we know er're led to believe that Satoshi was only one individual, but we can be wrong.

The way he is he would just say Bitcoin is hocus pocus and a product of internet's imagination... I am yet to see a (serious) topic where he actually has a valid opinion

Joystream developers have nothing to do with what content their users seed. It's the same old story... People kill people, guns don't kill people and I am yet to see any weapon maker being sued or fined because they sell weapons that feed wars. If we allow weaponary companies to operate and metal extraction for weapon creation, we must allow the Joystream team to develop their software.

When anti-piracy organizations start having their "field days" with this issue, they should direct themselves to users that misuse the application, not the developers. Just like ISP's shouldn't be sued because users use their connections to download pirated content.

Seeding a Linux distro isn't a crime. Many have official torrents. Maintaining mirrors for distros requires time and money. By outsourcing iso distribution to torrents, distro developers and mirrors are effectively saving money on bandwidth and providing users with something that might even be a faster service for downloading their software. By having paid downloads more users have an incentive to seed while the impact of charging a few bitcents to downloaders to get their distro isn't that much of a hassle (people who don't want to donate can still download through a mirror or any other slower methods).

So, in short: downloader pays a few bitcents, distributed by all seeds and downloads distro at full speed. Seeders get some compensation for their efforts. Developers do not need to deploy servers and https mirrors. Universities who donate their servers for distro downloads can start using torrents to and get some revenue and cut down on bandwidth usage.


This is something very generous, but rarely seen in torrents. People need an incentive, which isn't bad because they're doing something that comes out of their pocket. Like I've read once "seeding in a public tracker is like fucking for virginity"... And we all know seedboxes exist, and you'd have to be crazy to use them without having anything in exchange.


I wish Joystream huge success. I'd be very grateful to receive a few bitcents if someone wanted to download any distro I'm seeding. I'd probably even find a way to do it 24/7 if i got some coins out of it. I'd be very grateful and happy if Joystream caused a shift in this paradigm and a change in the way people think and see content distribution online, too.

I definitely wouldn't like to use this service and have development come to a halt just because people use the software in a way that is perceived to be wrong.


As I've said a few posts back, they're still using testnet.

Satoshi's opinion is irrelevant, I think.

While having your device in flight mode

I personally wouldn't do that unless I restored my iDevice, configured it as a new device, created the wallet, restored it again and kept using it, and I think that's just too much of a hassle to create a seed. There are quicker and equally safe (or even safer) ways to do it. And yes, I'm that paranoid

Yes, you'll have to create a raw transaction. And as far as I can see you have to give extra parameters to signrawtransaction for it to know you're spending unconfirmed inputs.

If you, or "Satoshi" have a real proposal to post on this sub-forum like many other members who post valuable threads, feel free to do so.

Decentralization is never "enough" in a world where ASIC's develop really quickly and there are a lot of people who already own a huge chunk of hash power that can buy the newest chips on the market.

You'd achieve nothing by reducing the blocksize in half right now. All of the blockchain behind would take up exactly the same hard drive space and you'd further constrict something that's already starting to be too small.

Since this thread was bumped, for anyone that comes across it: Joystream is still working with testnet coins only.
