Hi,
The donation based web hosting at 1btchost.com will no longer be accepting new customers and existing accounts will be not renewed.
This is due to repeated targeted hacking of my site and the sites of my customers.
I ran this service on a not-for-profit basis and I cannot supply the resources needed to guarantee security against a determined attacker.
Since I started this service a year ago, a lot of other providers have joined the bitcoin community, so the loss of my service is no real biggie.
It was good while it lasted.
A warning to other providers perhaps.

If my account gets terminated, then all of the hosting at 1btchost also gets terminated.
To be honest, I feel a bit uneasy being hosted on a service which can so easily be terminated. Well, it will not happen because I will take down any content that is illegal in the uk - in order to protect my other clients, If my provider asks me to. I will also not take any action without correspondence with the party's concerned. So I warn that those who may be thinking of using the site for illegal purposes should look elsewhere to avoid disappointment. In this case (which I shall not identify, as the site my remain up if my provider decides it is ok) somebody is really pushing, and has probably overstepped, the limits of what could be considered legal, and they clearly knew it before they designed the site. There is no danger to those hosting legal content unless I refused to act on on the advice of my providers. I will act on the legal advice of my providers in order to protect my customers. That is what I am clarifying. Any legal content is completely safe. dM |

I provide hosting for bitcoins. It has previously been advertised on this forum, so I am announcing this clarification here.
One of my customers has hosted content that is borderline breaking the TOS of my providers, and may be illegal. They know what they are doing because they have a prominent message on the landing page advising visitors to use TOR.
It is currently being assessed by my providers. If it turns out that is is ok by them, then fine. I do not apply my values to the content I host.
I will just advise - as it says on the website, please do not host anything that my be considered illegal in the UK.
If my account gets terminated, then all of the hosting at 1btchost also gets terminated.
Of course - all customer data is kept safe by me, and most of my customers use untraceable e-mails anyway, but the bottom line is that 1btchost is to support the bitcoin community, not for hosting dodgy illegal stuff, and I will take down any content that may risk my account - to protect my other clients.
If you want to host stuff that would get taken off the internet, then that is what freenet is for. Look it up.
TOR and my hosting is not a substitute for freenet, and to use it as such is to put me in the firing line and hide behind TOR yourself. I do not feel great about being used in this way.
Hope this clarifies,
dM

Hi, Since bitcoins have been pretty volatile lately, I have changed the pricing of my 1 BTC Hosting package to donation based. Details on the site here: http://1btchost.com/dM Yeah, it was on my to-do list to ask you what are your plans for the present when "1 BTC/mo" is no longer impressively cheap. I totally get that the overhead of managing payments could be your most significant cost for this service. I hope you won't lose on this service. Well, the initial outlay was not huge. You are correct - the main overhead is management. I started the service mainly to provide reliable cheap hosting for the bitcoin community and get some real world experience of providing a service for bitcoins - both of which have been a success. Whether I make a loss or not now depends on how happy my customers are with the service. But even if I do make a loss it will not be a huge one so that is ok. I will keep the service running as long as I have hosting (the foreseeable future).  dM |

I've thought of this before. Another way it could be done is Bitcoins could be donated to the charity (or a dedicated receiving address for the charity run by a trusted party). Then someone who is feeling charitable could donate USD/etc to the charity in an amount to cover the coins at market value. When the charity confirms receipt of the donations, the coins could be handed over to person who donated USD/etc to the charity. A good way to do this would be to find a worthwhile charity that Bitcoin users would be likely to support. Get them to agree to this fundraiser, and then we can all chip in a little something. It would be great for the charity, and good for Bitcoin as well. A way for Bitcoin users to "give back." The EFF springs to mind. |

Yes, a rescan has solved the problem. I wonder why it was not automatic? <edit> because I was accidentally running an earlier binary.... Doh!!!!!!!  <edit> Anyway, that is a relief. Thanks for the reminder. dM |

|
|
Which version of bitcoin are you using?
On 0.3.21, it should have done a rescan automatically.
Earlier versions will need to be started with the -rescan switch once.
Sorry - just edited post but you beat me to it. I will see if running it with -rescan helps..... ty. dM |

Hi,
Something a little disturbing.
I recently restored a wallet backup.
I have paid 99 BTC to this address on (2011-03-20 04:47:46), but the wallet is not showing the payment as received. It is showing a 1 BTC payment that was made another time (2011-03-19 23:46:38).
The wallet is showing a balance of 1 when it should be 100.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
dM
<edit> I should clarify that the transaction is not showing at all, this does not seem to be an issue like long latency confirmation, I have not seen anything like this before. <edit>
Currently running bitcoin 3.20.2

I did just notice something strange,
I have played quite a few times,
One of my payments to Acceptor address:14XFTVDQrBhw79jYScyiZBx6bp17XHQq6f - for 10 BTC has not been confirmed after over 3 hours.
Yet other payments have been ok (but not to this address I just doublechecked) - I am even up by a few BTC, but I thought I would let you know in case there is a bug.
Is that address one of your Acceptor addresses? I am sure I cut and pasted it from your site while I was playing.
dM
The payment has now been accepted and the game played. (I won - yeehaaa!) It was not a problem with the Probiwon site - it was a network delay. Thanks. dM |

|

Can't dM just manually resend the funds with a fee attached? Wouldn't it beat his earlier attempt to the block chain?
It is not an urgent transaction. It is a bet on bitcoinex's Probiwon game. I have played since and everything has been fine. As long as the game is eventually played I will let you all know if I win. All this adds to the excitement and suspense.....  dM |

Keep Bitcoin open so it can keep trying to resend it. Make sure you have several connections; if not, connect to a fallback node. If it still doesn't clear after a few hours of leaving Bitcoin open, run Bitcoin with the -debug switch, double-click the transaction, and paste the transaction dump here. Thanks for the reply. I have had plenty of connections the whole time and have completed other transactions. Bitcoin has been running all the time apart from being restarted. Here is the dump. Status: 0/unconfirmed

Hi, Using bitcoin-0.3.20 I have sent a payment of 10 BTC that has been unconfirmed for nearly 12 hours now. I had no unconfirmed transactions in my wallet when it was sent. Is this common or could it point to a problem? Thought I'd better report it anyway. dM <edit> Looked for it on blockexplorer - Not there. http://blockexplorer.com/address/14XFTVDQrBhw79jYScyiZBx6bp17XHQq6f is showing a confirmed 1BTC transaction that I sent to the same address 20 minutes earlier <edit> |

I did just notice something strange,
I have played quite a few times,
One of my payments to Acceptor address:14XFTVDQrBhw79jYScyiZBx6bp17XHQq6f - for 10 BTC has not been confirmed after over 3 hours.
Yet other payments have been ok (but not to this address I just doublechecked) - I am even up by a few BTC, but I thought I would let you know in case there is a bug.
Is that address one of your Acceptor addresses? I am sure I cut and pasted it from your site while I was playing.

Hi, A few people have signed up to the 1 BTC/month hosting! Some of them have even paid! Cool! I welcome people signing up to see what features you get - especially if you write a review  - but please if you do this and decide you do not want the service then let me know so I can free up the resources. dM |

That's all well and good, but how do we know the secret was randomly and fairly generated?
I would say that it impossible to *know*, randomness and fairness are very often debated in maths universities and school playgrounds and it is a subject that is easily mis-understood (which is mostly why people gamble). However, I have done a lot of gambling and poker over the years and the successful houses are the ones that are trusted - especially in on-line gambling. That is why the more respected sites continue to plow so much resources into spotting cheating and robot players, because -in poker and other games of skill fairness is important, not so much with pure random games, where the honesty of the house about the odds is important. The successful houses know that the easiest way to do this is to actually be fair, take your cut, be open about it, and you will still make a fortune. As soon as a site is rumored to not be fair they shed players massively - even though such rumors are usually false - at least with the established providers, so it is just not worth it to cheat in providing gambling services - unless you are a very short-term scammer, who wants to make a quick buck and run. Which would be stupid as you will almost certainly make more money in the near to long term by being honest. I don't know the provider of this site, but I have played it and I do like it. Just responding to that particular question. dM |
