Bitcoin / Electrum / Electrum.org website requires nonfree javascript to load
|

Hello,
To the Electrum.org webmaster,
Would you please get in touch with the Free Software Foundation and work towards making electrum.org fully functional for users like myself that run LibreJS and refuse to run nonfree javascript?
Bitcoinarmory.com works very well for users that run LibreJS.
Also, Bitcoinarmory.com has excellent video tutorials on its site. It would be great if Electrum.org did the same. Or perhaps you have already, in which case thank you. But I'm unable to see them because Electrum.org won't load without nonfree javascript.
Thank you!

Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Bounty for Debian Maintainer to package Bitcoin Armory
|

Damn. That's a real drag. I'm sorry that I don't understand it all better.
I'm struggling a little bit because it seems like with things like Bitcoin I have to compromise. Either I get a stable distro, where I can install everything I need from the repo, or I have to run less stable distros or install from source or packages that aren't in the repo.
What would you suggest for somebody in my situation? You're saying it won't even make it to testing, too, or just stable?
Should I consider running Debian testing? That seems a bit more technically advanced. I've done some research online and there are several different instructions. I'd like it to be as easy as installing stable and just having it be testing forever, or something.
*sigh*
Thanks for all of your work anyways. Please keep us posted on this thread if things change in the future.

So, if Bitcoin Armory had a bigger team of developers that could donate enough time to make the updates necessary for older versions of Armory it would be okay?
Ugg.
I hate to take my donation back, but I would like it back, as it not making to stable does me no good.
That being said, I'll re-donate again in the future if this ever gets straightened out.

Wait, what??
Look, I'm totally fine with an "outdated" version of Armory. I'm currently running an "outdated" version of armory now that I built from source over a year ago.
I have no problem running 0.92.3-1 for all of Jessie's stable lifetime. I mean, why isn't that possible? I can understand it for Bitcoin-core because there's a protocol requirement, yada yada. But Bitcoin Armory doesn't suffer from this problem.
I mean, hell, if Electrum can get into Debian Stable, why can't Amory?
Can you just double check and make sure it's not possible? Again, I'm not hung up on the updates, I just want to be able to sudo aptitude install armory in debian, and get my less technical family and friends to be able to do the same as well. If I start getting on them to change a bunch of stuff to run testing packages, it'll never happen.
Seriously, there has to be a way.
Here is my refund address: 1Fr67J7r5xJgmBE9oTvEDbnE17fbwHdaSu
Although I'd MUCH rather not get a refund, and get Armory in the Stable repo.

Actually, I just discovered how easy it is to get a student visa. All I have to do is take some language classes at German Language School and that should secure my Visa for a year.
I've lived in Germany twice and never got asked for my passport. I could easily get by living there without a visa. The trick is leaving the country without being found out. Based on some research I've found that if you over stay your welcome in a place like Germany, it's best to leave from Spain or Greece, because those guys don't give a rat's ass and just send you through. But if you leave from Germany they'll stamp Illegal Immigrant on your passport on your way out and it'll be difficult to get back in.
I don't really expect non-anarchists to understand. When I still used to believe in the state, I was against illegal immigrants. Now I realize the state is just a criminal organization and has no right to tell people where they can and cannot go.
But again, don't really expect statists to understand. Fortunately, there's a growing community of anarchists in Germany.

Berliners.. help!
I'm looking to move with my wife to Berlin for about 1 year. We're looking to arrive in September or October. Ideally we would find a furnished place of our own, but that means getting a german bank account. I'm sure you're all aware that the US feds have been putting the screws to foreign banks, making it soon-to-be impossible for Americans to get foreign bank accounts. That means I won't be able to easily pay rent, get internet or other subscriptions, etc. Or we could move into an apartment with roommates, where all I have to do is hand over some cash.
Does anybody have any good recommendations for somebody who is looking to have a place already lined up so that we can move in when our plane lands? Do we need to stay at a hotel and go to a real estate agency to find us a place?
If you were in my shoes. Your employer pays you in bitcoin. And you're moving from the US to Berlin, and want to be be in the center of town, like x berg, Prez berg, mitte, how would you go about things?
I know this is in the wrong thread. Please PM me if you'd like to offer some suggestions to a fellow Bitcoiner! Thanks!

I've already found a few places that come with internet. Also, I have friends who have had landlords that never bothered to ask for visas. And they overstayed their welcome no problem. Fact is, there are tons of illegal immigrants in Germany. I'm sure they can handle one more.

Hello,
I'm thinking seriously about spending a year, give or take, living in Berlin. Although I could be persuaded to a different city. Ideally I'd really like to pay for rent in bitcoin, but I don't want to limit my options on where to live. The absolute max I'm looking to pay is 650 Euro per month, but 500 would be much better. A fully furnished one bedroom would be fine. I'm also not opposed to living in an old lady's house. I had a buddy years ago who was living upstairs from an elderly couple. They had turned the attic into an apartment. Rent was cheap. It was nice.
There are a couple things that are super important to me.
1. It's got to be furnished. I've lived in Germany twice before and both times I lived like a vagabond in unfurnished studio apartments because I couldn't justify buying furniture if I knew I'd have to turn around a year later and get rid of it all. Pots and pans, a bed, couches, are all very important, including internet and cable ready. I really don't want to have to sign up with any utilities companies.
2. I have no intention of leaving after 90 days. By law I can only spend 90 out of 180 days in the Schengen Zone. I need a landlord who's totally okay with an illegal immigrant living under their roof.
3. The apartment needs to be centrally located. I want to be able to step out my door and be within walking distance of a lot of fun stuff. U-Bahn, S-Bahn are okay, too. Berlin is a big city, I get it.
That's about it. If you know of a way to get this sort of thing I'd love some help. I'm thinking of arriving in December of this year, give or take.
Thanks!!

Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / slow upload speeds hindering p2p projects, like running a full node
|
on: April 08, 2014, 08:24:05 PM
|
My DSL provider, of which there is only one in my area, has been providing me with 3 Mbps down and 800 Kbps up for the last two years. I run Bitcoin-core, but port 8333 is closed because my internet, including download, grinds to a standstill if I try to run a full node.
Today we got our long awaited DSL upgrade. I now have 7 Mbps down and... wait for it, 800 Kbps up. That's right. Zero improvement in my upload speed. I tried again to run a full node by opening up port 8333 and sure enough, standstill internet. So, back to being a leach again with no hope of ever getting to help the network for years to come.
Doing a little research online today I learned that why doing speedtests online we usually only get fractions of upload speed in practice. For example, while my speedtest shows I'm getting 800 Kbps, in reality while running Bitcoin-core with port 8333 open, my internet came to a standstill even though my network resource monitor showed I was only uploading about 90 Kbps. That's right. Only about 10 percent of 800 Kbps up and my internet is maxed out.
This really sucks. I know that in the past ISP's were mostly concerned with high download speeds and very little upload speeds because back in the day "nobody uploaded" but nowadays all of the cool internet things to do involve uploading. Bittorrents, Bitcoins, Bitmessage, hell, hosting my own website!!! Anything! And yet I don't feel I can do any of those things, which means the internet remains more centralized than I'd like it to be. Very frustrating!
Does anybody know what is being done to solve this problem, if anything? Are ISP's getting more demand from customers to increase the upload speeds? Are the internet gurus of the world recognizing this problem and working to fix it? What can I do to work towards faster upload speed? To be honest, I would have preferred a doubling of my upload speed today over a doubling of my download speed.
Any thoughts or info you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I'd really like to know how this "problem" is ever going to get "fixed."

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Unable to launch bitcoin-qt binary in Debian Wheezy

Get used to compiling and installing libraries -- it will make your experience with linux much better.
Get used to a lot of stuff being broken, too, then. Bitcoin core is about the only thing I'm willing to run that's not in the Debian repo. If you constantly want bleeding edge tech, then yes, you're going to have to do that. But if you're patient and willing to run older versions then it's best to stick with the libraries that come with your distro.

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Unable to launch bitcoin-qt binary in Debian Wheezy
|

Getting this error: $ ./bitcoin-qt ./bitcoin-qt: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by ./bitcoin-qt) ./bitcoin-qt: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by ./bitcoin-qt)
It's unfortunate, but it appears that the Bitcoin devs have decided to use libraries that are ahead of Debian stable. I have two choices: install the newest version of this library on my system or wait until Debian Jessie comes out 1.5 years from now. Both have their setbacks. I think I'll just wait until Debian Jessie comes out. Of course, by the time Jessie comes out, Bitcoin-core will like be version 1.0 or something using still newer library versions, which means I'll be forced to install bitcoin 0.9.0 or some older version. In other words, I'll always be behind. Such is the nature of Debian software, and I've come to accept that. But if that's the case, why can't Bitcoin-core get a package maintained in the Debian repo? So long as the protocol hasn't changed they should be able to package older versions of bitcoin-core for easy installation. Any thoughts on this matter are welcomed! Thank you!
