I wouldn't expect terrorism to be restricted to a single group

Wasn't Btsex behind some DDoS attacks some weeks ago? Or am i mixing up the names? I think it was a Russian guy, not sure...

LOL, those ads are so bad they are kinda good, can't stop laughing xP

I think the way it is supposed to work with the system the way it currently is, is not that you change an existing pending transaction, but you spend the same coins again with different fees attached and let the network sort out the doublespending weeding out whichever copies of the transaction doesn't get done first.


The  thing is the client currently locks out 'coins already included in an outgoing transaction, even if unconfirmed, and got no means of letting the user try to send those coins again.


I'm not sure what changes would be necessary to allow people to change existing transactions instead of just repeating transactions with different fees.




If i said anything wrong please someone that understands the system better correct me, aight?

Are you talking to which pool operator?

A pyramid is only infinite as the number of people willing to join in, and for each additional level more people need to join in order to run the system at the same speed; so after a few levels things get so slow that the people stop joining 'cause they see the people already in aren't getting paid anymore and soon the whole thing collapse.


Somtimes even the people running the pyramid themselves get jumbled up in the math and think it can sustain itself for way longer than it actually can; people somtimes even insist on the thing after failure becomes obvious (to an outside observer), for various reasons, including being too stubborn/proud to admit they weren't smart enough to do the math right and got carried away by the promises of easy money; in some ways it's like perpetual motion machines, people think they found a loophole that allows them to obtain somthing for nothing and get stuck on that idea failing to realize they didn't knew enough about the process involved from the start, often coming up with rationalizations for why they aren't being able to extract as much from the thing as they expected to, blaming everything but the flawed system or themselves

You're not storing the results anywhere, so using the same algorithm the exact same result for any given address could be obtained even with a machine that never went online and got the blockchain transfered via sneakernet? Awesome!


Though, is there the risk the order of very recent addresses will be rearranged as the whole network acknowledges things from different directions or does that order gets stable fast enough for that only be a concern with major blockchain forks?

Made me lol IRL, thx

Votes alone won't work unless there are lots of people reviewing the newbie forum without forgetting to vote (and of course, you can't let newbies vote on other newbies, or else they'll soon form a jerkcircle to cum out)

I don't think the more serious players would appreciate the artificially induced lag...

Ah, i missed that bit, cool

Now with Clearcoin closing what happens?

Hm, someone could set a sweatshop buying and selling small value stuff to build up reputation on addresses and then sell wallets containing anonymous highly reputable addresses to people that don't wanna build a good reputation but wanna have one anyway; depending on the scale of the operation and how big the clientbase is (and the percentage of them that will live up to the bought reputations or burn it down), this could be quite damaging to the web-of-trust reputation system...

Shhhh! If people start wasting their hash/s it will get easier for the rest of us to crack blocks! <.<

Fucking ZPMs, how do they work?

Assuming you can trust the seller to shred their copies after the transfer, would people be willing to pay to receive a wallet.dat that contains addresses that have both received and sent money in the past (for plausible deniability(sp?) or messing up statistical analysis or sumthing) ?

you can run a weather simulator cluster in a netbook, but it will take ages to move a single raindrop

Lots of people sell things for cash all around the world

Just a note, i don't like that OpenID thing; i feel way more secure having different login info for each site than placing all eggs in the same basket
