I am trying to add multiple independent wallets/users support to bitcoind. It is planned to work this way: There will be one bitcoind normally running, but it will use multiple wallet.dat files. Every RPC user will have its own file, and they will be authenticated by existing RPC username/password (so, no change necessary at the client).

The code is at: https://github.com/jurov/bitcoin . I have some issues with testnet, so the code is almost untested as of now. It will create two files wallet.dat and wallet2.dat . The first one is accessed normally by username and password from bitcoin.conf, the second one has "2" added in the end of both username and password, for example:


However I want to know first whether there is enough interest in this solution. I guess the work necessary to bring it up to par quality and especially security-wise will be around 150 BTC.

I have the same problem, got errors trying to use testnet with current HEAD from https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git :

Registered as jurov,thx!

Among others, NAT is not supported - more peers should be reachable that are now behind home routers. Also, roaming - connections are not lost when you switch networks (but this depends on proper implementation at ISPs, we'll see)

Nice. But can't you really perform better than this?

We are talking about time frame of only ~ 2 years till bitcoin gained significant value. I really don't believe that large part of computer-savvy users managed to lose their wallet.dat in such short time, do you?

What consensus? Citation needed...

Yes this is physical server, old machine with low electricity consumption, so the running costs are negligible. Plus it's partially covered by adsense revenue. It's "colocated" at my home, netlab provides 10mbps upload, that's more than enough for this.

I'll look into the gcc stuff, gentoo does some symlink wizardry in /etc and it needs to be copied into sandbox after every upgrade.

Interesting,nobody takes into account tech progress and advances in computing. It may be feasible to recover lost bitcoins by cracking the blockchain by quantum computers in, say, 50 years. Of course, official btc will be moved to more secure hash algo,but as long as there will be path to move coins to new quantum blockchain, someone will inevitably use quantum computer to crack lost coins from old blockchain...and thus the problem will be solved itself!

Basically you borrow the stuff you want to short, and sell it at current price. Later, when time comes to return that stuff, buy it back again, hopefully much cheaper (and have a profit). In this case step 2 depends on members of MMM desperately wanting to sell mavros much below the "official" price. This will inevitably happen, question is when exactly.

Did anyone think about shorting this mavro stuff?

No, I am not talking about the moment when I received them from dailybitcoins. I had to pay the 0.0025 btc fee later when I wanted to send all the coins elsewhere. It happpened despite I used always the same address.

It is not your problem, I know, but for me it does make dailybitcoins useless. I propose you to add option to pay the recipient once a month all together, so that there will be less transactions and thus no tx fees for users later.

If you have desktop machine, alternate solution is to have dedicated HDD for bitcoin, so that it isn't trashing rest of system. Even old IDE relic will do (it may only have sluggish response sometimes).

Just tried to drain the walled used for dailybitcoins... and had almost all "earnings" wiped out by tx fees

It's not worth it, maybe if one uses bitcoin client patched for zero tx fees, or for bots.

Look, I just want to explain -  I am from exactly the part of Europe that everyone had plans with, perhaps even for millenia. Romans, Franks, Hungarians, Turks, Mongols, Third Reich, Soviet Russians,.. you name it. And I can say for sure that while hiding strategy did work before, since 20th century it does not work anymore. It's good to have some land, but it's not possible to sustainably defend it anymore. Instead, it's nice to have own crops when government fucks up with agriculture.

Remember, I am not writing about some nebulous OSN plans. I am writing from actual experiences of my family and other people. You may as well do your own research among hard facts instead of scaremongering pamphlets.

So, shall some New World Order-ish shit happen, you 'll just take a gun and hide away somewhere? Didn't it occur to you this is actually what they(whatever you define "them") want to happen? They want you to be alone, mistrusting everyone, thinking in terms of "combat".

At least try to make informed decisions before boasting and bragging. Find out what happened to people who tried to prepare (like you are preparing) for fascists' or communists' coming. I'll say just one thing - these just had nasty habit to outlive anyone's stashes of food and ammunition.

Ahoj, a je nejaka moznost aj okamzitej vymeny alebo treba cakat na prevod? Lebo neviem ci sa da v Privatbanke vkladat cash.

Ak nie tak sa mi viac oplati nakupovat bitcoiny priamo na burze - Intersango prijal SEPA platbu uz za 2-3 dni , na cryptoxchange a mtgox to trvalo aj 1-2 tyzdne

Ahoj,

pisat by som vedel ale neviem velmi o com, nie som miner (ak neratam tych par litecoinov co som si bol spravil na CPU).. ale mozno by som vedel nieco napisat o #bitcoin-otc a investovani do MPOE a na GLBSE.

Prosim admina/cloveka co zalozil thread aby zmenil napis na "Česky a slovensky" alebo podobne

The authors of The Invisible Gorilla book are scientists who answer this very question. Wholeheartedly recommend everyone to read this book. IMHO it is necessary for everyone to overcome described illusions to move forward as a whole civilization.

Consider that vast majority of countries approved this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Declaration_of_Human_Rights

You probably consider Newtonian physics "proven" because most physicists and a lot of other people agree it is reasonable approximation of reality. Similarly, I can easily consider universal human rights "proven" because most people agree that everyone should have these rights. IMHO it's silly to argue beyond this point, we should argue about the soundness of the human rights concept itself.

Have you ever lived in totalitarian society? From my experience, I must strongly disagree with you that the rights depend on means to enforce it! I was born in Czechoslovakia, literally few kilometers from iron curtain. It was plainly impossible to use strength and power of oneself to obtain entitlements like freedom of speech, except trying to flee West and risk being shot or imprisoned plus having caused problems to whole family for the attempt. It was very important for us to have illegal broadcasts and other means of support from the West, to know that someone somewhere believes that we have these rights despite our government and law prevents us to exercise them. Radio Free Europe wasn't at all force that could enforce anything. But it accelerated the decay of communist regime to the extent that when the opportunity came, nobody wanted to defend the regime. Otherwise, whole Eastern Europe could have ended in civil war like Yugoslavia or Libya.

This sounds agreeable,except that it doesn't match reality at all. Every day new demands and rules are created by society, ranging from anti-discrimination laws through work regulations to smoking bans. Those who ignore this reality, and its underlying irrational part of human psychology, do so at their own peril.
To me, you seem like saying "LALALALA, humans are fully rational beings that are able fully self-regulate and I don't want to hear anything else because it's not logical, LALALALALA". Maybe I am immoral, but I feel that acknowledging and questioning reality as it stands is better that maintaining feeling of moral supremacy and illusion of knowledge. Still, yes, there are basic human rights and I believe in them and I believe that to violate them is immoral. But also, man is a social animal that needs stable and working society with clear rules to support him/her. There was, is and will be strife for any foreseeable future.  I see the worktime regulations being in the gray area somewhere between, and I am trying to think where they came from.
