I changed the description text on /q to be more clear. That was pretty ambiguous.

That's in bytes, not BTC.

I don't think it's a big problem. If deepbit ever abused its power, all of its miners would leave.

Bitcoin will truncate debug.log when you restart it.

I voted "yes" because Bitcoin mining is useful.

I'm so confused now...

At some point I might want to take credit for my Bitcoin activities, so I don't want to use a fake name. In fact, I would list Bitcoin Block Explorer on my résumé if I was applying for a relevant job this year, since that's the biggest and most public programming project I've ever done.

Using a non-obvious pseudonym might be a good idea for people who want to be anonymous. It adds some apparent credibility, I think.

I agree. Transactions re-introduced to the memory pool due to a reorg should have boosted priority. Once replacement is enabled again, they should also not be replaceable.

Added.

Transactions usually appear instantly.


Don't do that. You're supposed to create an address per person.


This will be solved soon.

Is "Castellano" the most correct term? The thread in "other" is named Español, and that's the word I've always heard.

In English, he/him/etc. are gender-neutral.

AT&T U-Verse RGs do use WPA2 by default, so they're not totally clueless about it.

Invalid transactions double-spend coins, try to redeem an output in such a way that the script returns false, or are formatted incorrectly. Invalid transactions are always rejected. One invalid transaction in a block chain makes all blocks after and including it invalid.

Non-standard transactions do something that the official client would never do. Usually they have scripts that are different from the two scripts that Bitcoin produces. Non-standard transactions will be accepted if they are seen in a block, though miners using the official code will not put them in blocks they mine or relay them to other miners.

Luke-jr's pool accepts all non-standard transactions if they pay a fee, so non-standard transactions are possible.


Yes. The transaction can (optionally) still be redeemable after doing this, too. Each script can be 10,000 bytes max, but each transaction can have an unlimited number of scripts. The max size of a block is 1MB, though, so a transaction larger than that cannot possibly be included in a block.


No. An output script sets the conditions under which the BTC contained in that output can be redeemed. A transfer to a Bitcoin address creates a script saying, "If you can sign data for this public key hash (address), you can redeem this output." But there are many different conditions you could set.


You must modify Bitcoin. Stock Bitcoin will never create non-standard transactions.


You could make a transaction redeemable for a password instead of a public key, or require multiple signatures (useful for escrow transactions).

Done. Hopefully the password reset email reaches you.


What do you want me to change it to?

I don't see many Spanish posts in the "other" section.

You can disable the display of signatures in your profile.

vBulletin and phpBB layouts are usually bloated "web 2.0" garbage. I like the look of the current forum.

Post volume is a problem. We need a watchlist feature, I think, and enforcement of accurate topic titles and categorization should be increased.

I don't find the email to be unreasonable. This behavior probably is associated with botnets in almost all cases.

For a home Internet provider, I've found AT&T to be pretty accommodating. They unblocked my SMTP port as soon as I asked them, for example.

Yes to both questions. See:
