Just run the checkblocks command line argument to force a complete validation of block chian.

Code:
bitcoin -checkblocks

This doesn't do all of the normal checks on the blocks. That switch is designed to detect database corruption, not to check validity of the block chain. Whoever provides the chain still needs to be trusted absolutely.

Newbies should not be encouraged to do this. (And even if they are, they should at least use the official, signed blockchain files.)

Theymos, I haven't been around. Is this legit?

There's not much documentation and the source isn't public, but it doesn't seem very anonymous or robust to me.

I emailed leaseweb about it already. More complaints (to abuse@leaseweb.com ) wouldn't hurt, though.

Some shareholders of the GBLSE company are publicly known. Possibly you could convince one of them to introduce a motion to give you a refund or something like that.

Argh! I've now received TEN of these, and they just keep coming.

EDIT: Thirteen now. Tongue

EDIT: 58, no wait, another one just arrived. 59 emails!

I'm also receiving one every ~5 minutes even though I only have one MtGox account. (Now they're being discarded automatically, of course.)

Whoops, sorry about that. I wanted to move it to the English off-topic board, but I accidentally moved it to the German one. (I was thinking that topic was in Bitcoin Discussion.)

Lacking "polite fluff" is the least of the problems with that email...

I was arguing with Vicente the other day on how to write customer service emails and hecsaid uou shouldn't say "Dear xxxx" or any greeting at all. I sign my support cases "Sincerely, blahblah" as well. I understand many situations call for brevity but maybe living in Korea has got me on the confusciast overly polite wagon or something.

"Dear" and "sincerely" sound much too formal to me. Some sort of "hello" is polite if you're the one opening the conversation. I almost never include a formal valediction, and usually not even an informal one.

Those aren't covered in the checksum. Did a client accept these messages?

He's not doing a very good job if he's letting us know in advance...
5835  Other / Off-topic / Re: Predict the day Matthew N. Wright deletes his BitcoinTalk account. on: November 17, 2011, 07:19:54 AM
Is that an over complicated way of saying "when Matthew's account is deleted" or does this specifically mean if it's deleted by moderator (like 'suicide by cop')?

Probably he intends this to work like an assassination market. Mods can't delete accounts, though, and no admin would do so and also collect the bounty.
5836  Other / Off-topic / Re: Predict the day Matthew N. Wright deletes his BitcoinTalk account. on: November 17, 2011, 06:12:00 AM
The only way my account will be deleted is if theymos deletes it. That however would mean no one wins (including theymos <3)

Well, I could bet just before deleting your account...  Wink

How could it not?

https://en.bitcoin.it/w/images/en/9/9b/PubKeyToAddr.png
If one screws up the base58 address at all, wouldn't that mean that the 25-byte binary address is different?

I'm not familiar with the details, but here's a quote:
This may be an appropriate thread to mention that the the "checksum" at the end of an address does not effectively prevent single character errors or transpositions.

For instance https://blockexplorer.com/search/1ByteCoin shows that
Code:
1ByteCoinAddressesMatch1kpCWNXmHKW
1ByteCoinAddressesMatch1kpCxNXmHKW
are both valid addresses even though they only differ by one character.

Similarly, the valid addresses
Code:
1ByteCoinAddressesMatchcNN781jjwLY
1ByteCoinAddressesMatchcNN718jjwLY
only differ by one transposition.

ByteCoin
5838  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Sent some btc into a black hole on: November 16, 2011, 11:43:08 PM
Neither of those addresses are valid according to my bitcoind:

My client (version 0.3.15) says they're valid.

Bytecoin has mentioned that the checksum doesn't work as well as you would expect.
5839  Other / Meta / Re: joining of profiles on: November 16, 2011, 06:43:51 PM
No. SMF doesn't support that, so I'd have to do a lot of database surgery.
5840  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: bitcoind + vidalia and potenially dangerous connections on: November 16, 2011, 02:40:33 AM
But those flags would be safer, correct?

Maybe a little bit.
