The response has been "Im too lazy"
wow, solid popcorn & beer stuff. still not sure which party of the ugly divorce are you but I stay for the action. sorry to hear that users have a disrupted experience. I am not part of intersango or bitcoinconsultancy. I used to run bitcoinmedia.com till Genjix took over. I assumed they had good faith and the best interests of users in their heart but apparently if youre a witcoin user you can be ripped off and left without an explanation. It needs to be fixed and NOW. BitcoinMedia/Genjix/BitcoinConsultancy seem to be very professional and honest. I'm sure there's a decent explanation. |

btw how did you avoid the red font color that usually gets replaced with /me ?
Looks like it was accidental. The "/me" was right next to the closing quote tag, instead of being on a new line. |

Nefario was the first person to fly using Bitcoin and also the first person to be detained and deported from the US… also for using Bitcoin. this never gets old ^^ I use this story when explaining friends how glbse works, who designed it and why every new user moves the prices : ) good luck! /me wants to hear more about this... |

And you don't have a copy of the code, I take it?

There isn't enough bitcoins in the world to satisfy the daily laundering requirements of a typical mexican cartel or even most nigerian scams
so, how many bitcoins would be enough? One bitcoin would be enough. You could probably even do it with a half a bitcoin  |

How about a little background/history for the clueless among us?

For the record, I haven't had any problems understanding the English.

Just buy a physical bitcoin from memory dealers. Done. |

A victim is not expected to be armed or prepared.
A business is.
The audacity of businesses thinking they are victims amazes me. Don't leave the safe open and don't fail to use a time lock.
You are responsible for the safety of your business.
Wait... So, according to you, being the victim of a crime depends on whether you were engaging in business? If my personal car gets stolen, I'm a victim, but if it's my function car while I'm working, I'm responsible for being robbed? If a woman is raped, she's a victim, unless it was a prostitute during her business, then she's responsible for being raped? Please. Of course people would better be prudent and protect themselves from criminals, but your notion of ethics is completely twisted if you really believe "business are not victims". Being the victim or the responsible of a crime has absolutely nothing to do with whether you were engaging in business, pleasure or whatever. Sometimes you can. The local restaurant website where I often order my meals is quite lame. I know, for ex., that they don't hash passwords, it's stored as clear text. There are probably other security vulnerabilities. Judging by the web design, they probably had a very limited budget for building that site. If they had to have the level of security a site needs to have to exist safely in the bitcoin world, maybe they wouldn't even have a site at all, or their meals would be more expensive just to account for that. Hashing passwords is standard practice expected. Fix your website. There's plenty of high schoolers out of work who could do it for nearly nothing or even a few BTC. Stop avoiding responsibility. It's not "my website". But it is a good example. Why should they even care about spending money on a high schooler to have a decent site? All they want is to deliver sandwiches and meals. The only reason they've probably done a site at all was because they work in a "geek area", and have many clients that prefer ordering by clicking instead of using the phone. They don't really care about having a good, secure site, and it's fine enough for them, as long as they keep delivering good meals at an affordable price. But that's only because they don't accept bitcoin (or any other digital means of payment, for that matter). If they ever consider the possibility, their site will be completely rapped by the crooks OP talks about. So, summarizing, OP has a point. The high level of "cyberviolence" we are submitted to (and also the fact we can't even try to punish these hackers as we may do with meatspace criminals) makes life harder for honest people, unfortunately. But maybe a better comparison would be to compare the level of security needed to safely maintain a bitcoin wallet in a site, and the level of security needed to safely store credit card numbers. I have no idea which kind of site is more attacked. I goes both ways. Sure, you're still a victim, but on the flip side, you should secure your site. And that goes for any site, not just a bitcoin-related site. If you don't want to be a victim, secure you site.  |

The quickest and easiest solution is probably to change the coin selection algorithm to always select the oldest coin(s) possible for the inputs, thereby not triggering a fee in bitcoind. In most/many cases that will avoid the fee.

Is this like a 20% interest rate bank account.
Not by a long shot. For starters, in the US, you bank account is covered by FDIC insurance. |

If there are things that the new GUI does poorly It wastes space, are difficult to use (farther mouse travel etc.) looks unintuitive and childish. There is no fix that will make Qt version as good as VX. Wow, I'm really happy my work is appreciated...  Fwiw, I wouldn't use a GUI that used wxWidgets. Love the Qt version though. Guess everyone has their preferences.
Thanks The QT-based interface is an improvement over the previous one. It also has the huge advantage of having people willing and able to maintain and improve it. I do have a few pet peeves and I think it could be further improved in some areas, but that's not a problem, it's an opportunity. |

It happens that I do send out many micro payments in automatic mode with bitcoind. In general I do not mind to pay some fees in order to support the network. But when it comes to the multiple small payments it damages my income.
I'm aware of that tiny or "young" transactions are need to backed up by fee. But I still can't understand the pattern of fee calculation.
Altogether around 50% transactions goes with 0.01 BTC fee and others are free. There is no correlations with the amount. Larger ones may be with fee and smaller may be free. The wallet consists of plenty BTC with the majority of funds being very mature. paytxfee parameter seems does not give any effect.
I'm trying to understand algorithm of fee calculation in order to minimize my losses.
Look into "sendmany". |

I agree. If more alt chains are made, hopefully they will incorporate some more substantial innovation. |
