Where can I manage my automatically generated new Bitcoin Addresses?
I believe this is intended behavior... I was reading a post about how the self-generated random addresses were confusing to new users so they eliminated them. Once I locate the post I'll put it here: I know this behavior confuses at beginning, I got confused too but, my point is, new users should have the easiest interface and better user experience, no doubt, but, what about the others? People who already are using the version 0.3.23 extensively and liked the software behavior... These peoples needs a option to access more advanced features of the software... Or the Bitcoin auto-generated addresses that come and go are completely disposable? Not working after one transaction and it just disappear? |

I appreciate it! Thank you BTW! But the auto generation of new addresses is still running on background! We need to have two kind of interfaces, "advanced" and "normal", showing and not showing the auto-generated address. If the address exists in background, I need to see it in somewhere at the software, so, where is it?! At the "normal" user interface, instead of hiding the auto generated address, the Bitcoin should distinc between the "user created address" and the "auto generated address"... From the point of view of Bitcoin, it is just "address", I know, but, from the user perspective, will be some kind of distinction between them. Sorry but, if I'm not able to manage my own addresses, automatic generated by the software or manually by me, this is a bad thing...  I just want to see and manage all my address...  This kind of change cannot happen without public consultancy... Where the development beta tests ocurr? I want to participate. |

Guys, I have two Bitcoin clients running on two different computers: Computer A: Bitcoin 0.3.23 Computer B: fresh installed Bitcoin 0.3.24 But the new Bitcoin 0.3.24 does not behave the way it did before... I mean, I sent B$0.01 (two times, second time I've sent through MyBitcoin automatic forwarding) from Computer A (0.3.23) to Computer B (0.3.24) but, at the Bitcoin 0.3.24, NO NEW ADDRESS automatically appeared at "my receiving address" in the AddressBook (I can see the new address at the main interface screen, but no anywhere else)! But it happens in Bitcoin 0.3.23... Why this have changed?! Where can I manage my automatically generated new Bitcoin Addresses? Take a look: Bitcoin 0.3.23:  Bitcoin 0.3.24:  Thanks! Thiago |

Well if anything it will make the pool admins more aware of the holes in their systems.
facepalm...do you know how botnets work? The only real way for admins to stop a ddos attack from crippling is to A) wait it out B) have so much connection bandwidth a ddos attack does nothing. So you are telling server owners to buy ridiculous amounts of bandwidth? It's like saying the solution to people stealing gas out of your car is to buy more gas. Well, I have another idea... Don't know if can work by the way... c) Make mining pool inaccessible from the outside, from the Internet (no route for it, no DNS), making the pool at some intranet, so, every single miner, like you and me, should authenticate itself in some Internet point and then, it will be able start a VPN with some hidden Internet VPN server and voiala, we will have access to the Mining Pool intranet network. c.1) The login system at the Internet is just a "login"... Should be hosted everywhere... It should be simple and not browser dependent... c.2) The VPN servers will be accessible only after the login, only for that session, otherwise, they will remain closed by firewalls and/or border gateways... c.3) The VPN servers will be hosted everywhere too, the behind them, there is a Mining Pool... I'm thinking in OpenVPN or IPSec to achieve this... We will be able to identify and close any irregular traffic, not affecting the regular users / miners... To the miners, this should be totaly transparent, they just need to setup one more user/pass somewhere, that will be used before miner starts... Well, this is just an idea that come to mind as I was sleeping... \o/ This is a simple bandwidth exhaustion attack. What you suggestion would actually make this attack much easier. Well, never mind... :-P |

How many infected PC (aka botnets zoombies) are Windows? 99% of it! How many infected computers (aka botnet zoombies are Linux? 0,000001% of it?! Probably... So, just use Linux (like Ubuntu or Debian) to end these botnets... It is MUCH more difficulty to make a virus to Linux... I'm honestly do not believe that somebody can make a Linux Virus capable of infecting all Linux variants across the globe.. It is near impossible to do that. |

Recebi uma transação antecipada devido ao ataque da BTCGuild e percebi que meu endereço do Bitcoin mudou sozinho, é assim mesmo? Foi minha primeira transação. Acabo de me inscrever na Triplemining lelo link do Pafu, devo ter entrado na mining pool do Pafu? Minha Mini Pool para quem se interessar: TripleMining - BR pool - http://goo.gl/ME0A8Obrigado e me desculpem pelas perguntas noob, sou novo no fórum e no universo bitcoin. Nomad, Este é um comportamento padrão do Bitcoin client, para "forçar" você a utilizar um endereço novo para cada nova transação, aumentando a sua anonimidade "automaticamente"... Então, cada vez que você receber algum Bitcoin, automaticamente aparecerá um novo endereço, para a próxima transação. Mas o seu "antigo" continua 100% válido. Att, Thiago |

Interessante o TripleMining!! Vou entrar!

Caras!
A operadora BTCGuild está sob ataque DDoS!
Parece que outras operadoras de pool também estão sob ataque...
Se vocês não conseguirem conectar com algum, comecem imediatamente a garimpar (minerar) sozinhos!
Não deixem a rede ser o poder de processamento dos miners!
Abx!

If you guys can not connect to a pool, start solo mining quickly!
Do not let the Bitcoin Network without miners support!

WOW! Thank you!! If miners cash-out someday, this will leave the network unprotected.. But why?!?
But when a lot of miners "cashes-out", then the bitcoin client will automatically lower the mining difficultly level based on a hard-coded protocol. Since it will now be easier to mine, then that means that other people, including noobs like yourself, would be incentivized to mine at the easier difficultly level, since the bitcoin payment for solving a block would remain the same (50 BTC/block solved currently). Reading the wiki page about scalability ( https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Scalability), they are talking about a "supernode client", this supernode can assure the safety of the network for themselves without mining? If the miners go away abruptly... Or the purpose of the supernode is just to save disk space for regular clients? I'm very curious and concerned!
Thanks!
Thiago
No problem. Again, I had similar concerns when I was a noob as well. Anyway you get a gold star in my book for using Ubuntu Linux and for asking simple & clear, but non-trolling questions/concerns. AWESOME! THANKS!!!  |

How realistic(practical) this attack is ?
Very doable if you can afford to spend 10/15 millions of $ Any rich guy could happily do it without problems... But due to Sathoshi's genius clever design, would-be-attackers are instead incentivised to use their resources as legit miners instead, thus increasing the strength of the main block chain. Sorry, I'm confusing, because I'm a newbie in Bitcoins world, just two weeks of knowledge about it... Until today, I believed that miners only do mining... What they do more? Why miners are so important to keep the safety of the Bitcoins network? If miners cash-out someday, this will leave the network unprotected.. But why?!? By the way, then it is possible spend the same Bitcoin twice?! Since I have enough computing power for this? And then it is also possible reverse the payment?! All depends on the computational power?! If the U.S. government and Fed tries to do these things today?! We are fucked?! I'm very curious and concerned! Thanks! Thiago |

"The Important Things to Take Away"
What we need right now is developers to make some very very user friendly sites, i.e. something in the likeness of Ebay in combination with escrow service that provides both buyer and seller protection (since Bitcoin makes punishing scammers considerably harder). Once people have a concrete and reasonably safe place to sell and exchange individual goods, we will see more large legitimate businesses spring up, where escrows will not be necessary for them and quality control and reputation will prevent the majority of scamming.
I'd like too but I neither have the money nor the programming experience or connections to pursue such an endeavor. Although I would greatly enjoy providing a developer with ideas.
People pay for convenience and safety! Right now Bitcoin is heading towards being a transaction based currency with no reasonable means of transacting.
AGREED!I'm thinking this should be easy to do, for example: 1- Trade companies: Oh! I'm a trade company, I want to start buying and selling Bitcoins, what to do? 1- Install Ubuntu Linux; 2- run: apt-get install trade-exchange; 3- access: ubuntu1.your-domain.com; 4- instructions: self explanatory; 5- done. -- 2- Amazon or eBay like store (virtual store): Oh! I'm a store and I want to sell goods and services, accepting Bitcoins, what to do? 1- Install Ubuntu Linux; 2- run: apt-get install magento magento-bitcoin-module; or: 2- run: apt-get install oscommerce oscommerce-bitcoin-module; 3- access: ubuntu2.your-domain.com; 4- register your goods and services; 5- start selling; 6- done. -- That's just my B$0,02... \o/ Best, Thiago |

Mmmm... "Bitcoin App" from Paxx Media...
When installed, it is just "Bitcoin", sorry...
