Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Mtgox online fee calculator (bounty of 3BTC)

Hi Everyone, I want to learn how to trade but my math skills are really crap, I would love if someone wrote a little website or google spreadsheet where you could enter how many bitcoins your selling and how much for, then the calculator tells you what price you would have to sell the bitcoins to cover the round trip in fees. and the same for the other way around. I would pay 3 BTC for this.  Here you go: http://usingbitcoin.com/mtgox-fee-calculator.htmlThe fees are 0.6%. The round trip fees are 1.2036%. Take the amount you're selling and multiply by 1.012036. It's the same whether you're starting from BTC or USD. No spreadsheet required. That is an approximation, and the details matter if you're going to do high-volume trading. |

I formally request to have Bitcoin 100 whitelisted. I just created this user name to be used for all things considered Bitcoin100 related. This way, I can keep my personal remarks separate now that Bitcoin100 has evolved into a formidable capacity building program.
I'm fully aware that this action may make it harder for Phinnaeus Gage to bump BitcoinPorn from the top ten poster list, but such is life.
I further promise not to pen Nikki the Bitch type posts (I miss her!) with this, or any other, user name.
Full Disclosure: Phinnaeus Gage and Bitcoin 100 are the only two users names I currently have the privilege of using on this BBS.
Thank you, in advance,
~Bruno (Phinnaeus Gage)~
Post here as Phinnaeus Gage as well to prove it's you, no? |

Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Sweep/import private key feature request

I don't like "import" -- it has muddy semantics that I think users will not understand. "You kind-of-sort-of own the funds that were sent THERE, unless somebody else happens to have a copy of THERE that you may or may not know about."
I don't quite agree, since if I securely generate a paper wallet, I know I am the only one with the private key. But, I concede the point. I like "sweep" -- it has very clear semantics that I think users will understand: "Take all the funds that were sent THERE, and send them to me RIGHT NOW."
Automatic sweep-every-once-in-a-while functionality would be fine, as long as it was coded properly (sweeps should only be done if you have the full block-chain, not if you're busy catching up, and shouldn't be done immediately to avoid a flurry of accidental double-spends if you have several wallets setup to sweep the same key(s)).
I like "sweep" as well, and I think it would meet all the use cases I have for importing, as long as it keeps a copy of the private keys that have been swept and implements "auto sweep" on them fairly often (once a day?). |

well its pretty irritating that you can only post here, and for my part in Scandinavia part.. like if you realy need to buy some bitcoins and need to post alot of messages to say that you want it is pretty annoying.. but well maybe its better so spammers and trolls get here?
Go ahead and ask your question here (not in this thread, but in this forum), and someone will likely answer it. |

Gavin, I think it's important to remember that as developers we will never be able to protect all the stupid people from all the mistakes they might make. We can and should try an make the product as robust and foolproof as possible, but even more importantly, we need to make the product as powerful and as flexible as possible at the same time. If there is a clash between the two, we should choose to make the product more powerful, instead of fighting the futile battle of protecting stupid people from themselves.

In either case, you keep the imported private key in the wallet, in case more BTC is sent to it.
So what happens when two users import the same private key into their wallets? (or you accidently or on-purpose import the same private key into two of your wallets?) You can say "Don't Do That", but if they CAN do that, then they WILL. Then whoever spends them or sends them to another address first keeps them. I honestly don't see a problem with that-- that's why you'd have the check box to send the funds to a new key if the one being imported may be known to others. |

Because Satoshi was a Windows developer.
Seriously. Tiny utilities piped together would have been more transparent, stable and extensible.
There's a lot of truth to this. Each utility does one job and it does it right. Slap a GUI on top of that and you're done. Utilities could be added and the GUI patched to use them, even if they're not from the "reference implementation". |
