Your video afforded me to find this one, of which I've just viewed for the very first time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0EeKhBqumM

(don't freak out by its title--you'll be into in after only a few seconds)

The video turned me off after 0:50. 

Great.. now I am depressed.  Why do smart people need to believe in pseudoscience?

i don't really get your question. I had the same feeling and i think it was the first song being a bit unrelated and a turnoff but it gets better along the way Smiley

Leaving you alone.

thanks dude i will repay you the favor some day  Smiley

3066  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: My appeal to khal and namecoin developers on: February 02, 2012, 09:48:42 PM
Okay. Let my chaotic mind continue to travel from critic station to the solution proposal station.

How bitcoin deals with increasing bounty hunters? It has a positive feedback between network power and work difficulty. I.e. number of people (actually their cummulative power) grows => difficulty grows. Lets see



And what is namecoin in current stage? It is a addition to bitcoin, which charges fees and issues a TLDs. But where to put that charged fees? If we return them to miners, then there will be parasite positive feedback between number of ordered TLDs and bounty increasement. It will let miners to order TLDs only with purpose of their bounty increase. Free Money. Like beer.

So devs decided to destroy that fee. If we destroy that fee, the miners (and all others) will become bit reacher also. But this will also increase fees in their value. So this is some sort of positive feedback between number of ordered TLDs and fee increase.

But with bad implementation and negative effects:
1) System changes fees descrease according to dummy algo without feedback of its growing
2) The 1) effects are that devs should regulate this algo by hands doing network intrusion
3) If they will not properly guess fees, system will be full of spam or collapse
4) By destroying fees, system destroys itself and forces NMC value to have unpredicted behavior



The proposal
1) Registration fee must be constant (this needs some mathematics check)
2) Registration fee should return to turnover as miners' bounty
3) To avoid described parasite feedback, we need to put another feedback between number of TLDs registered for a certain time period and difficulty.

So if the registration activity will grow, the bounty will grow, but difficulty will also grow.
Benefits:
1) System do not destroy coins
2) devs do not do system intrusion
3) System regulate itself





interesting  Smiley
i always wondered what namecoin would do after all the coins where mined, but supposedly the fees would increase and first update would cost you zero, so nmc coins are only destroyed in it's first years of life

If there are really 250btc in that wallet, then i would try lots of things
1st - . stop using that drive - !
2nd - put in a different system and use recovery software. there are plenty about to try.




+1 some one would gladly do the job of recovering those coins for a reasonable reward
3068  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: HELP! i lost my wallet using system restore! on: February 02, 2012, 08:40:14 PM
oh well. its long and gone by now I tried like 5 different restore points lol. I didn't think about how that would kill my chance of recovering it. thanks for the help.  GRRRRRRRRRRRRR
250 bitcoins lost BUY BUY BUY! lol

system restore should have your wallet, try one thing, you don't have anything more to lose anyways, find the bitcoin folder that contains your wallet and the blockchain and simply delete any wallet.dat file there. Make sure you close the Bitcoin program first if you have it running. Then make a system restore from the date before you deleted the account. If that doesn't work only a low level scan on that hdd could tell if the coins are lost forever. Hope your new account has the same username, just in case.

I'd be happy with improved CSS for bitaddress.org  I started playing around with the paper wallet layout, but couldn't come up with anything I liked more.

I was also trying to decide if its worth having it laid out so you can fold the note to cover the private key.

+1 i would like that too

Being able to buy anything, including drugs or weapons, a true free market provides using bitcoins is ethical ?

You're able to buy those using any currency, does that make USD unethical too?

so it's a good question then... bitcoin is being bashed by a few congressman on that premise. could be redone by putting unethical in there

This is unrelated to the topic, but how did the OP post as an "Anonymous" Guest?

Because they are Legion  Smiley

The user was Atlas and he requested deletion of his account if i recall that right.

- Instant payment confirmation (your campaigns will activate immediately upon payment receipt - no need to wait for 6 confirmations now)

Congrats on your activation!

I have a question that is somewhat related and can move this to another topic if it bothers you.  How did you handle instant payment confirmation without waiting for 6 confirmations?  Could someone cheat the system by these instant confirmations?

+1 great, i was hoping you guys solve all the issues  Cheesy
3074  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / BIP 22? on: February 01, 2012, 12:21:35 PM
Can we have a review of BIP 22 from all the main devs?
So everyone can give his own opinion.


+1

Author Interview: Paul Rosenberg on A Lodging of Wayfaring Men

Quote
This Part 1 of an interview with Paul Rosenberg, author of "A Lodging of Wayfaring Men".



Instantly named Freedom Book of The Month and a major influence in the Cyber-underground, A Lodging of Wayfaring Men is the story of freedom-seekers who create an alternative society on the Internet - a virtual society, with no possibility of oversight or control. It grows so fast that governments and "leaders" are terrified, and fight to co-opt this cyber-society before it undermines the power of the governing elite.

In this interview Paul talks about his intellectual development, his influences and the background to writing the book. He discusses the parallels between the novel and recent developments in crypto-currency, such as Bitcoin. He shares his thoughts on the current state of the internet, prospects for liberty and the potential for developing communities of people with shared values.

Wow.....
People really need to watch this video before they comment further to defend Luke-Jr.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSFDm3UYkeE


When you have money involved, trust is out of the question so we're left with politeness, respect and humility.

So now someone deletes my posts... again  Huh   lame

EDIT: I already know who did it. Please stop censoring me with the off topic excuse.

Hey Gavin, could you please stop opening new threads on the same issue ? You can reply in the ones you've already made. You even incite people into bashing another comunity member. I've seen users being warned or even banned for this kind of behavior before on this forum.

...

I said last year when I reluctantly agreed to function as the lead core bitcoin developer that I have zero experience leading open source projects.  But I try to do my due-diligence and learn from the experience of other successful projects.

Hope you learn something from all of this and really debate brought up issues with calm and knowledge.


PS: whoever deletes my posts again better have a good reason or deal with the consequences.
3079  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: BIP 16 analysis from a miner's point of view on: January 31, 2012, 04:23:30 PM
Interesting. I don't understand completely but i'm making efforts

So the most secure and conservative way to implement the feature would be BIP16, a little more error prone too, given the amount of coding work that was needed, but nothing that can't be managed.

My understanding was that OP_NOP codes were left there exactly for these purposes that's why i thought you would be using them.
3080  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: BIP 16 analysis from a miner's point of view on: January 31, 2012, 02:55:36 PM
That stuff is totally unrelated to BIP 16. It was removed because 2112 was using that BIP number without having it assigned to him.

dunno, so all my post is mot ? the 2112's paper resembles actual bip 16 implementation, a script hash that always verifies, being backward compatible and the new clients actually running the scripts.

Since no one has given you a serious reply—  No, this is completely unrelated.

At the level of similarity you're perceiving there the already existing bitcoin system also fits.   BIP16/BIP17 don't change the behavior of the scripting system except in changing _when_ the script requirements for the disposition of a transaction are provided. With P2SH you commit to your requirements when you pay (by giving a hash of them) but they're provided by the spending transaction.

It doesn't change the scripting language, make it more powerful or turing complete.  BIP12 did increase the expressive power some by adding limited recursion, but no one wants to go that way now.


Thanks for being you the one to try give a "serious reply".

The way i understand it BIP16 changes completely the scripting system for the p2sh transactions. How ? bypassing it. Seen lot of code examples already. BIP17 uses an existent placeholder OP code to fit it's needs and another one that seems to have been put there by Satoshi himself.
