Signature validation does not take 24 hours. What exactly are you talking about? Are you talking about validating the blockchain?

This is such a terrible idea. Why would you want to spoof Bitcoin XT, it will just cause the fork to happen before consensus occurs and if enough people were using that fork, you suddenly just screwed over Bitcoin. Please don't do this, it is such a bad idea. Have you actually considered the consequences of a premature fork? If you haven't, please do think about what could happen to the Bitcoin network if a premature hard fork occurs.
This is such a wonderful idea. It protects Bitcoin, at the necessary expense of XT viability. " Why would you want to spoof Bitcoin XT?" To cultivate a falsely exaggerated sense of security and encourage premature aggression. It's a trap!So what happens when a premature fork happens? What happens when some exchanges are using XT, some aren't. Some people are using XT and others aren't. Now you have exactly the situation which having the threshold in XT prevents, two separate blockchains operating with (possibly) equal power. Now there are two Bitcoins. What do we do then? This is what could happen if people start using this node fake XT node. Again, as I have said before, such a fork is a terrible idea, and this modified XT node will only make the likelihood of such a fork worse. |

Think twice before you run this:
1. Have you reviewed the code?
I just looked at the code and it looks like the only things changed are two lines which change the date from 1452470400 (11 Jan 2016 00:00:00 UTC) to UINT_MAX which IIRC is 4294967295 (02/07/2106 @ 6:28am (UTC)). So he didn't actually stop the hard fork in those clients, but rather postponed it for another 91 years. OP, you should fix that. 2. This thing does no real harm unless you are really mining. With >90% of mining pools are not anonymous, do you think they will use their real name to run a spoof client?
3. Running XT means you support BIP101. Period.
Exactly. It has the same features (double spend relaying, etc.) and it uses the same block versions. The only difference is that it will not accept the forked block as valid for another 91 years. |

Are you the reason that it looks like Bitcoin XT is gaining traction on bitnodes?

I wrote that.
Wrote what? The email? If so, can you prove it? |

Probably to cover the fee for the winner so that the winner would actually get 0.2 BTC. Also, OP, anymore hints for us yet? |

This is a specific service problem, it is MyBitMine's problem, not Bitcoin's nor yours. Try contacting their support to see if they can help you.

Hello, you haven't understood right. There will be no free coins for the people running XT. Same balance you have in your core wallet for example, you will have in your XT wallet if you switch over. So don't let this thinking make you switch clients, thinking that you will get free coins, this will not happen.
I don't run any clients, I'm not a miner, but i have some BTC i have bought. When XBTC fork happens will i have same ammount as BTC ? Best Regards Yes, but only because it uses the same blockchain up until the fork. Any transactions that you do after the fork will not show up on both blockchains, only the one that you are using. |

Looks like the reason we are not seeing a more rapid increase in nodes is the time it takes to synch the blockchain? Could epxlain the sudden surge in nodes, all syncing for a week to come online around the same time?
I don't think you need to be synced before you are visible on https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/nodes/In fact, many BIP101 nodes are syncing, suggesting that they are new ones: Do you think it is possible that someone is simply setting up tons of Bitcoin XT nodes just to make it seem like there is more support for it? Also, am I the first person to do this? -----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

This address 16mT7jrpkjnJBD7a3TM2awyxHub58H6r6Z with 0.58531338 BTC as of 201508162045UTC supports a combination of BIP 100 and BIP 101 where the voting system and upgrading mechanism from BIP 100 is used as a voting system for voting for the next step increase proposed in the block increase scheme in BIP 101. E.g. for each step up increase proposed in BIP 101, the BIP 100 voting is used to determine whether to go ahead with the increase or postpone for a later date.

Their will not be two separate coins since the fork only occurs after 75% of the miners switch to use XT. There will technically be 2 coins, but one will be less secure and less used than the other. Also, it is a fork, so it does not reward current btc users with its coin, but everything in the current blockchain will be in the forked blockchain. Also, there is plenty of debate of whether xt is considered an altcoin.

Where I can I find this blog post? I want to judge for myself.

So the hacker just held onto the vistomail account for over a year and decided yesterday after Mike's article on medium.com was the perfect time to execute his attack of a post to the mailing list? Wouldn't the hacker rather try to profit by posting it for sale, or leaking old messages, etc.?
I don't know. When he hacked the gmx.com account the first thing he did was send an email to theymos with the message "Michael, send me some coins or I'll hitman you". Theymos immediately reportred that the account was probably hacked. So he doesn't sound like the smartest hacker to me, he blew that opportunity big time. The recent email looks like it was written by a high school student. Who knows what he's thinking really, perhaps he's trying to troll us. It is also possible that the vistomail account was terminated and the hacker was able to register the email again like how the gmx hacker worked. The vistomail was also a lesser known account so the hacker may not have known that it existed. |

The BIP101-supporting client has become top 4  Are there any clients that implement the other BIPs? |

You need to be accepting incoming connections in order to get more than 8. Make sure your node is listening for incoming connections.
Is that found in the Windows Firewall settings? In the wallet Settings, Options, Network UPnP and Allow incoming connections are both checked. Check your firewall settings to make sure that bitcoin-qt.exe is allowed to have incoming connections as well as tcp port 8333. Also check your router's firewall to make sure that it isn't blocking tcp port 8333. |

I don't think people are that incompetent, do you? Like if you met your former classmate at a high school reunion, what is the likelihood that person isn't who they say they are?
That is a different situation than what is going on here. Sure the likelihood that that person is who they say they are is pretty high, but what about some really famous person who no one has ever seen before (no pictures, nothing) and have only been known online and suddenly one day a random person says that he is this person? Would you really trust that guy to be saying the truth? Or would you ask for more proof of his identity? That is what we are doing here. No one knows who satoshi is, what he looks like, or anything about him except that he is some guy on the internet who created this cool thing called Bitcoin. Without any other information about Satoshi, no one can really vouch for him and we can't know that this person is him without some kind of proof since anyone can say "I am Satoshi". |

very very very very very low
Sometimes however you will get a wallet with a bad RNG (e.g. blockchain.info android wallet) which generates the same address for different people, but those cases are very unlikely to happen.

Even if he didn't he should know that everyone here will want him to sign a message. He has a PGP key and several Bitcoin addresses that are known to be owned by him. Just by reading any of the "I am Satoshi" threads around and the posts in this thread and other threads as well as replies to the mailing list, Satoshi should know that in order to be taken seriously as Satoshi, he must sign something saying that that was him.LOL. I bolded the part that doesn't make any sense. Is it so hard to accept someone's identity who they say they are without putting some kind of artificial control over it? This isn't a game. The burden is going to be on those early adopters, core devs, Gavin Andresen, etc., to personally verify Satoshi's identity. Otherwise, it's all smokescreens and coups and cover-ups. It's kinda embarrassing. Eastfist, when you say that the burden is going to be on so-and-so to verify Satoshi's identity, it is precisely by demanding a signed message from Satoshi that such an identification would be achieved. I can't think of any more solid way to do it, and EVERYONE who has a grasp of digital signatures will be forced to accept it, or that Satoshi has lost control of his private keys (which so long as he lives is pretty darn unlikely.) We are all expecting a signed message from any valid communication from Satoshi. And he _must_ know this. So don't be surprised when we are completely dismissive of any claimed communication from Satoshi that lacks the signature. It's a fake. I would take it as a highly personal insult if the people who supposedly help create this technical "tour de force" couldn't voucher for my existence, who support who I said I was. Does that make sense? I'm using logic here. This isn't a game. It only takes some honest witnesses. Part of it may be that even those that helped created this like Gavin, Theymos, Wladimir, and others might not be able to vouch for Satoshi without any proof of his identity. It is entirely possible that those people that could vouch for him are not sure that this person is even Satoshi. Would you vouch for someone and say that that person is who they say they are if they can't even prove their identity to you? |

What do you mean by integrate? Do you just mean install. If so, then you need a webserver software like apache and just put all of those php files in the document root.
I want to buy casino script with full source code and i need someone who can help me to integrate to server I will pay Unfortunately, I cannot provide a casino script. I would suggest that you take a look at the marketplace section and see if anyone there is willing to sell you a script. BTW, this thread belongs in the marketplace section. I have the script and everything i need only someone with skills in php. I still don't quite understand what you mean. Are you saying that you have php files (the script) and need them to be installed on a server so that you have a casino website? I can do that. What I can't do is write a php script. |
