Does this support reporting multiple different hosts and also multiple ports? Both would be very useful and IMO needed. Reporting a secondary name would be useful for running a Tor hidden service alongside a normal one. Reporting more than one port would be useful for more flexible access. eg. port 80 and 110. Or configuring a tunnel to hop thru a proxy/firewall for certain users, exposing a secondary access location.
Each server joins #electrum with a unique nickname prefixed by E_ and publishes its info in its name field which can be queried /whois . The limit here is the IRC name field - which has a maximum of 50 chars. Already at this time if your hostname is too long the ports for TCP, TLS, HTTP, HTTPS don't fit in. Adding multiple hostnames and ports would be fairly complicated - moreover the clients would need to decode this and so forth. The KISS approach is one server instance, one user on IRC, one hostname and a specific set of ports. What could certainly be done (but no priority) is mutliple server instances sharing one leveldb database with one master instance updating the db while the others just use the same and talk to bitcoind to send out tx. Or couldn't the server code just join IRC as a new user for each different host name? So when parsing the config it joins IRC once for each report line it encounters, with maybe some suffix on nickname. eg. nick E_<name>_1 etc. I don't know much at all about IRC so maybe there's some limitation preventing that but this seems like fairly KISS as well. I never logged into #electrum but doing this just now I was wondering what name my server would use when I don't set a nickname in the config? edit: Oh, I found myself. It's just some random gibberish name. Maybe I'll go add a proper nick then. edit2: Hmm. Maybe this is why my https port doesn't show up - not enough space. Isn't there a better way to do this? I know some IRC servers have limits on the number of connections allowed from a single IP. |

Okay, I've been trying out Electrum as a portable solution, but find I seem to be inhibited in many public places. I presume due to firewalls that prohibit high number/non-standard ports. Is there a public server that can fake being a standard webserver using port 80? Can this even ben done?
Theres comments in the config file for doing exactly this and I seem to recall seeing a partial readme for it. I don't know if any servers have done this though. Once I get my server up publicly, I'll have it listening on 80 and 443 |

Privacy
No Access logs are kept for visits to this website other than simple counters. We do not log any data relating to transactions made through My Wallet or bitcoin addresses used in My Wallet. Any email address, skype name or other personal data provided will not be shared with any other third party or advertisers.
So how come a third party had access to private information of a customer? It wasn't. The "third party" in question was one of Blockchain.info's customer support staff, who used that info for personal reasons, and has since been fired from that position. I would consider my IP at time of creation and last access being linked to my wallet as something more than just a "simple counter" |

+ they charge 2% for bitcoin withdraw, means if u withdraw 1 btc then you wil get 0.98.
It's .02 BTC no matter how much you withdraw. It's .02/BTC Which Is 2% I Think.  No. It's just .02 BTC A handling fee of 0.02 BTC per withdrawal will be charged.

If you'd find an algorithm creating a chain of public keys without first creating the private keys, that would mean you broke the EC algorithm and Bitcoin with it.
False. There are multiple deterministic wallet implementations and they do not break the EC algorithm, they use it. Armory and electrum both have deterministic wallets and the Satoshi client is working on one, too. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BIP_0032They set the rules for the private keys. Not the public. I'm not really sure what you are trying to say. With Armory it works like this: Wallet on an offline computer and a master private key, master public key and a chain code. Wallet on an online computer with the master public key and the chain code. This computer can generate an essentially infinite chain of public keys that correspond to the chain of private keys on the offline computer. The chained private key need not be created before the chained public key. This does depend on the master private key being generated first. Is that what you are referring to? The OP didn't say anything about wanting an algorithm for that. |

Sure,
I've seen that site - my understanding is that their commission / cut is very high ... something like $1 per BTC. Can someone confirm?
I was looking to provide an alternative to them - this is something that other people have tried in the past - but didn't quite take off.
The cut is a bit high although I've managed to grow my coins by around 5% doing small trades over a year. I did some OTC trading in game when VirWox was blocking a bunch of people from depositing. |

What do you mean "Printer manufacturers are controlled by reptilians"? Is it actually insecure to print something sensitive, then connect the printer to an internet-connected machine? Even when power cycling it? Joke, I myself believe that method to be safe. But some people are always commenting about the issues with printers (closed source etc). BIP 38 solves this hyper-paranoid/joke issue. A malicious or even public printer can be used to print encrypted private keys and then you could write the passwords onto the bills directly. |

There is this question from a forum user who is still stuck in newbie jail, so I am reposting it here as I don't know the answer: on an online computer with a "Watch Only Waller".
I notice that the option under Wallet Properties: "Backup Individual Keys" is available on the online computer as well as the Offline computer.
If you click on this and put in the password won't this spit out the private keys that are supposed to be only on the Offline Computer?
The private keys are cleared out of the watching only wallet. Knowing a password won't do anything. If you click export and check "Private Key (Plain Hex)" you can see empty strings. It doesn't even prompt for the password. If you check "Private Key (Plain Base58) you can clearly see that the exported private keys are invalid as they all are FXjQL6. I'm pretty sure that this has been brought up in this thread before. There should be some sort of warning or error or at the very least an empty string when the private key is empty rather than garbage output to ease this confusion. |

I'm interested in business card sized designs. Then we can print more per page. It's also easy to buy paper that is already perforated for business cards.  |

I think it's probably easiest to just leave the folder with it's original name. Doesn't that work? I seem to recall someone mentioning that a few pages back. Not if you use a script to start it. Everytime you download a new version you have to update your script. M You could write a script smart enough to use "forrestv-p2pool-*" or if there are multiple folders matching that pattern let you pick one. |

..trying vanitypool at the moment. On windows (not mine! heh) I get this error: oclvanityminer64.exe -u https://vanitypool.appspot.com/ -a 1xxx Get work request failed: Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates edit: it's "vanitygen-0.22-win.zip", with the executables inside and the .pem cert.. Any hints? Will check in a second on my linux.. edit2: What dependencies does oclvanityminer have on linux..? I installed libpcre3 libpcre3-dev libssl-dev curl libcurl4-openssl-dev so far.. still have oclengine.c:37:19: error: CL/cl.h now.. *sigh* Ente You need AMD-APP-SDK installed. I have v2.4 installed to /opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx32/ on my BAMT install. Then from the folder where I have vanitygen (/opt/miners/vanitygen), I did `ln -s /opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx32/include/CL/` There's probably some flag you could use instead, but this was easy. Once the link is in place, run make again. |

Now everyone can add his server. Just click on "Add server" and enter address,location and type (BTC/LTC). Best! This is nice. Dunno how I missed your post until now. Would it be possible to show the version of each server, too? Maybe also show the latest version at the top of the page. |

You should post some examples.

Here's something that's on my mind that I hope to get cleared up.
I currently have a cold-storage set up thanks to Armory. Something that only just now came to my attention is the fact that the online watch-only wallet is managing to generate addresses without knowing their private keys. How does it do this? Does the watch-only copy derive a new seed that is only capable of generating public keys in the series? What's the process behind this? Or does the watch-only copy come with a healthy bulk of pre-generated addresses?

I have even better stats. On total 13187222 shares, 36281 stale shares = 0.275%. Using Ztex's BTCMiner on BitMinter pool. Unfortunately, my p2pool machine is too weak to get similar results on local p2pool with my FPGAs. Bitcoind latency is ~0.5s.  You can't compare stale rates of bitminter (or any non p2pool) with p2pool. They work differently. My stratum miner is only .068% reject, but that number doesn't mean anything compared to p2pool. |

Wow, you are amazingly fast!
I can confirm that it works as expects (i.e. great).
Pretty much all it takes is changing the 2 lines in the formula (the download link and the file hash), so it's pretty easy. Glad it worked for you! The "brew fetch" command is not really necessary, but I guess that it gives the truly paranoid a chance to check what is being installed.
Thank you very much, indeed!
Yeah, it isn't necessary. I figured I might as well provide the most paranoid level of instructions as the default though. Can't we just come up with a DMG file with an installer for all of us who don't like to deal with compilers, etc? Can't we get a mac release that doesn't take so much work to get it up and running?
Is that a crazy request?
That's the end goal. However it is more work than providing a brew formula. It's been a pain so far to compile custom c extensions and pyqt into a distributable app. |
