like the middle one, has less of a 3 feel to it, seems formal and looks to be racing to somewhere ... the others are good for freehand, like the concept generally. |

The network maintains a list of addresses of operational clients. If a new node needs that list, you are supposed to be able to provide it.
or else what? What is the penalty for not keeping those addresses locally? (Assuming I write a client that does not keep the list). There is an economic incentive to download the blockchain but there is none to download a list of IP addresses (which could grow into the millions) of which only 8-150 will ever be needed for most clients. |

I lost track. Yes, LOR several times, including the appendices. I can write my own name in the Angerthas Cirth. Learned that at 8. Just sayin'. You have not seen how foot paths turn into roads, by use, by the statistical vote of the travellers and the folks that used them. Not by soldiers and asphalt. The Interstates were always for military use.
only several?  i was a member of the TSA in 1966. i spoke to tolkien one christmas, on the phone (ian ballantine set up the call - long story...). just think - CGI is really getting good enough to make the silmarillion... not too mention all those available GPU's sitting at Weka Workshops .... sadly NVidia, maybe next upgrade they could be persuaded to AMD? |

Downloading addresses?
You only create addresses. They are not downloaded from the network.
IP addresses. |

can someone clarify this :
1)
when I "buy" domain and hosting with namecoins, what happens with those namecoins ?
are they lost, destroyed, locked, deleted, stored to be released when domain ownership expires...
who gets them ?
2)
where is the actual hosting taking place ?
on miners discs and through their bandwidth or what ?
I mean, if I want to install poker game on servers, how would that be done?
For answers to all these questions and more! ... go here http://dot-bit.org/Main_Page... yes pls, be first poker site to host using namecoin (possible but still for technically minded, get your IT guy to do it) There already is a poker site that accepts Namecoin. It's a great site, I played there and it was fun. http://www.moonco.in/... heh, i actually meant host using the namecoin DNS s/ware but they will probably accept Namecoin currency also ... pretty amazing that you can do either ... (shakes head) |

Yes there is this thread that has python script for doing exactly that on AMD cards ... (you got python if you're mining most likely) http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=10062.0Wanted to also see the PID controller bit implemented for geek kicks but nobody with python skills ran with it ... http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=10062.20... this way you would INPUT a desired TEMP. and controller would keep fan speed controlled to acheive temperature set-point ... as best it could. |

I assume they work but we've been warned not to trust any binaries by the developers ... so ... the question really is has anyone actually built 0.3.24 on fedora 15 and what were the issues? Seems like every release throws up some more fun for RH derivative systems, can't really say it is stabilising. |

Specifically?
There are many problems: - Namecoin fixes the cost of registration according to a formula for a long period of time. Price fixing is always a bad idea. - When the price fixing ends, generators will be able to generate all of the good domain names at almost no cost. (This is better than the ICANN DNS, but it should be avoided if it can be.) - Generators will intercept registration transactions and register the domains themselves, holding them hostage to get more money. - Even ignoring the above two problems, domain registration will probably be too cheap. Miners don't care about how cheaply domain squatters can register domains. - To resolve domain names by yourself, you need to download all new blocks. Blocks will grow in size, and eventually the network will become semi-centralized (as Bitcoin will). This can be avoided for resolvers if you're building a separate system, and it's one of the only reasons I see for not building onto the Bitcoin block chain. DNS needs a lot more thought. Thanks for your thoughts and opinions. I'll mull those over ... PS: Shouldn't this thread be in Off-Topic also ....

Hi - I've built 3.23 in Narwhal, it compiles and runs and downloads blocks but the gui does not come up. tail -F debug.log IRC got new address IRC got join IRC got join IRC got join IRC got join IRC got join AddAddress() IRC got new address IRC got join IRC got join it does eventually get the blocks - blkindex.dat is 137 mb and blk0001.dat is 286 mb - but the gui never shows up. Any ideas?  Why are you compiling it? What is wrong with the download link available on bitcoin.org? What's wrong with wanting to compile it ...? |

So running 0.3.24 for first time because of enhanced block downloadability ... after 50 minutes got no new blocks but still collecting addresses that I have absolutely no interest in collecting.
Is there a setting to forget about downloading addresses and download some blocks instead?

That's like hating the club used to beat you over the head.
I suggest we hate the persons wielding the club.
The club corrupts all who wield it. It's the One Ring. It must be taken to Mordor and thrown into Mt Doom. this is profoundly true. ... ban the State? How does that work? Can only be by voluntary dis-association ... the State is the default primordial ooze of fear, mysticism and misery that is slipped back into when reason is abandoned wholesale. |

“Being able to run the book in 12 seconds end-to-end and get a value on our multi-million dollar book within 12 seconds is a huge commercial advantage for us,” Stephen Weston, global head of the Applied Analytics group in the investment banking division of JP Morgan, said at a recent lecture to Stanford University students." This is great .... they'll be able to know exactly in real time (within 12 sec) when they go insolvent during the next phase of the collapse. |

Have you tried official binaries for Fedora 15?
Which ones? |
