maybe they should just register paypalisascamdotcomisascam.com and be done with it.

Uh....I'm supposed to buy things for my wife?

2724  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: [POLL] Will you reverse your Dwolla transactions? on: July 29, 2011, 06:56:02 AM
'no'

because i've never used dwolla and never had any plans to.

maybe I don't know much about hardware but shouldn't some kind of 3rd-party cooling be *mandatory* on a mining rig?

otherwise your megahashes will fluctuate with the weather Cheesy

i'm not seeing any fans on your list.

So now it's been a few hours since I bought some bitcoins on MTGox and they still haven't shown up in my wallet software.   How long does it take?

did you actually withdraw them or only visit the 'trade' page?

they don't go into your wallet automatically just by trading.

sorry if that's too obvious.
2727  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Bot Boogie on: July 29, 2011, 03:45:47 AM
That's what the market is doing.

i thought bots were supposedly going to die after fees were brought back in?
2728  Economy / Marketplace / Re: I've Got A Joke on: July 29, 2011, 03:39:12 AM
John Howard, Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin all die and go to hell.

While there, they spy a red phone and ask what the phone is for. The devil tells them it is for calling back to Earth.

Putin asks to call Russia and talks for 15 minutes. When he is finished the devil informs him that the cost is a million dollars, so Putin writes a cheque.

Obama calls the US and talks for an hour. When he is finished the devil informs him that the cost is 4 million dollars, so he writes a cheque.

Finally John Howard gets his turn and talks for 4 hours.  When he is finished the devil informs him that the cost is 20 cents.  Howard just smiles.

Obama and Putin go ballistic, and ask the devil why Howard got to call Australia for only 20 cents??

The devil smiles and replies:
"Since Julia Gillard took over, the whole country has gone to hell.  It's a local call."

Me rockin a shirt I helped design.

Lip Glass ftw!!

Whether you're a guy or a girl at this point in the game is largely irrelevant IMHO.

some guys being more largely irrelevant than others Cheesy
2731  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Why only BitcoinJ? on: July 28, 2011, 07:46:06 AM
Interestingly I'm currently thinking about a different solution to this problem (accepting payment on website), that doesn't involve a bitcoin client at all:
  • generate a load of addresses in advance using vanitygen
  • put the public part (address) into db on webserver to give to users as payment addresses
  • check payment reception using blockexplorer.com/q/getreceivedbyaddress
  • keep private keys somewhere else, import as needed into wallet using sipa:showwallet patch (importprivkey)

EDIT: forgot to ask for comments on this idea? Is it workable? Anyone see a problem with this approach?

sounds like a great way to *receive* payments, i wonder what similar lengths one could go to to *send* payments without running a bitcoin client.
2732  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Why only BitcoinJ? on: July 28, 2011, 02:24:49 AM
i can look at php and see what's going on, and would be able to customize everything.
Nobody's going to allow you to modify the bitcoin code on a shared hosting plan.
perhaps you're not really talking to me, but i was saying i could customize everything NOT on a shared hosting plan.

g, i'm not having very good luck communicating in this thread am i? Smiley
2733  Bitcoin / Project Development / Payb.tc on: July 28, 2011, 02:15:35 AM
nothing to see here, move along Cheesy

(i had an issue moving from a shared IP over to my own IP... everything seems fine in all browsers except for opera, which for me is now loading someone's else site when i go to payb.tc. This made me think i had a coding error affecting opera, but it's just an IP issue so it should hopefully fix itself in another 24 hours I guess. if not I will contact the host again and find out what's going on.)

btc4shoes.com

haha this made me picture some guy selling his last pair of boots just to get his hands on some btc.
2735  Economy / Speculation / Re: You might want to cancel some of your sell orders! on: July 28, 2011, 01:13:31 AM


Bill gates just called me and his dwolla has cleared.  He's logging on the Mt. Gox right now to buy all the rest of the bitcoins.

Bill also informed me that after his dwolla clears and he buys bitcoins he will call his bank and reverse the transaction.

...so he can finally afford a new laptop.
2736  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Why only BitcoinJ? on: July 28, 2011, 01:06:35 AM
Wait, why would you want a full Bitcoin node running in PHP?
Because of the shared hosting plans.

no personally i just want one because i can look at php and see what's going on, and would be able to customize everything. c++ on the other hand and i'm lost.

Plus i think that if it's possible, it's probably inevitable Smiley (just to see that it works, out of curiousity).
2737  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Breakthrough - Ul.to, the OCH site #1 is accepting Bitcoins on: July 27, 2011, 04:09:12 PM
I think that would pump up the pir8 scene 10X.

agreed. a pir8 surge would be good for bitcoin values (and more importantly imho, bitcoin liquidity).

+more 'clean' businesses.. we could do with both Cheesy
2738  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Why only BitcoinJ? on: July 27, 2011, 01:00:13 PM
i seem to remember seeing *some* parts of the bitcoin code done in php, like address validation, etc.
But I don't think some parts of the bitcoin client are in PHP

I think he means that some functions of the bitcoin client are implemented with php, not that the bitcoin client itself is implemented in php.


3.) afaik, no part of the official bitcoin client are written in php

i just meant some parts had been *re-written* in php... see here for a great example: http://pastebin.com/vmRQC7ha (code by theymos)
2739  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Bitcoin client operating with a finite amount of disk space on: July 27, 2011, 11:17:09 AM
so far bitcoin has been out for around 30 months and has only just reached about 400mb, 500 if you count indexes. thats 2.5 years.
yes, but bitcoin is also still waiting for it's major break through and doesn't really have many users and shops yet.

if the first 2.5 years made 400mb, i bet the *next* 2.5 years would easily make an extra 4000mb (if not compressed or pruned).
2740  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Why only BitcoinJ? on: July 27, 2011, 11:05:45 AM
As C++ and PHP are close, yes it's possible
But I don't think some parts of the bitcoin client are in PHP

no, not the 'default' client. i just mean some parts of it have been translated to php.

one area though where i'm not sure how it would work: connecting to other nodes and listening for incoming traffic.

manipulation of keys/addressses/transactions would probably be the easy part.
