Looks like it. Nobody else here but sig spammers, and they don't count as people. Be sure to lock up when you leave.

Really disappointed by the lack of attention this topic got.
It seems that users that search for real content on the forum aren't here anymore.
You're preaching to the choir. I don't even know why I still bother to come here. Sad
1723  Other / Meta / Re: Why isn't bitcointalk.org neutral? on: September 24, 2016, 12:36:31 PM
Why only have the link to bitcoin core at the top, and not classic, unlimited and XT as well?
Because those are altcoins, and this forum is called Bitcoin Talk.
1724  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Reuse of pub key hashes in coinbase outputs on: September 23, 2016, 01:37:14 PM
But that's irrelevant now due to requiring the block height in the coinbase, which will thus make coinbase transactions unique. BIP 34: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0034.mediawiki
Yes, that must be what I was thinking of. (It seems I recall fewer details of it than I thought I did.)
1725  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Reuse of pub key hashes in coinbase outputs on: September 23, 2016, 01:21:03 PM
No... Where did you hear that? There is nothing special about a coinbase output. It is still spent from in the same way.
Actually, there's something very special about coinbase transactions: it's possible for two of them to be identical, if they have the same outputs. Normal transactions cannot possibly be identical as they must spend different inputs, but coinbase transactions have no inputs to distinguish them. Identical coinbase transactions are problematic because only one copy of the transaction can be spent; all others simply destroy the coins. Miners have indeed accidentally lost money this way. OP is asking about the soft-fork to make blocks with identical coinbases invalid, which I don't recall the details of.

No more than usual. Financial institutions have always been screwing with me one way or another, going way back before Bitcoin even existed. The current scam is to insist that I buy life insurance with every transaction, despite nobody actually having an insurable interest in my life (I'm unmarried, unemployed, and have no dependants or business partners). Maybe that's why they try to get me to buy life insurance - they know they'll never have to pay out. Roll Eyes
1727  Other / Off-topic / Re: Australia police lay fabricated charges against me, on: September 23, 2016, 05:03:12 AM
You could imagine they where over worked and they mistook me for someone else or something like that,
Ordinarily I couldn't say this without knowing exactly what you're accused of, but I'm pretty sure they got the right guy in this case. Roll Eyes

virtually no evidence besides the statements of 2 policemen (1 is a woman).
Poor legal strategy #43: Move to exclude evidence on the grounds that the witness has a vagina. (It turns out that that's not actually valid grounds to exclude evidence in any court in Australia.) But I am not a lawyer, so feel free to ignore my advice.

Like everyone else in the thread, I'd like more details. Hopefully sufficient detail to know which court is hosting a free comedy show. If I'm in the area, I'll be sure not to miss it. Grin

Then-chemistry teacher Roger Bennatti unwrapped the treat in his classroom in 1976 and placed it on top of a chalkboard to see how long it would take to rot.
What the Hell kind of chemistry teacher expects baked goods to rot? Doesn't he know that cooking kills the microorganisms responsible for decomposition? And that that's part of the reason for cooking food in the first place? The only reason Twinkies have preservatives at all is to slow the growth of mould, but in a cool, dry place they won't go mouldy in the first place.

For confirmation, I checked a loaf of preservative-free bread in my kitchen, and it has no expiry date. Just a "best before" date, because bread doesn't rot! It just goes stale! How stupid do you have to be to think that cooked food rots? Roll Eyes

I'm new here
That's from your second post on this forum (at least from that account). Were you lying?

Depends on your point of view.
My point of view is that a person who claims to be new here - when in fact that person has been here before - is a liar. Perhaps that person has a good reason to lie (but more commonly, they have a bad reason), but it is a lie nonetheless. What other points of view are there?

How's that new million-dollar-plus forums software coming along ?  Roll Eyes
I guess we can't keep it a secret any longer. There is no new forum software. The money was instead spent on a time machine, which was accidentally used to send the forum database back in time, which is how your email address got leaked five months before your account was even created. Roll Eyes

Do you want to try to come up with a more believable story?
1733  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: everything was working ok until 0.13 was released... on: September 18, 2016, 06:35:08 AM
but database was ok from the cloned folder.
Clearly not, if it says block 0000000000000000048304816349032406da39e8216793273821038f42db323d is invalid. It actually isn't, and I'm not sure why your node thinks it is. Your chainstate's probably corrupted somewhere; reindex should fix it if so.
1734  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: WTF? bitcoin-qt Wallet Passphrase in history??? on: September 16, 2016, 03:46:37 PM
interesting...
Very interesting, considering the RPCConsole constructor initialises the history by calling clear() and there is no code anywhere for saving or restoring history from previous sessions. Unless you (or someone else) has modified this code, what you're claiming is... impossible.
1735  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: WTF? bitcoin-qt Wallet Passphrase in history??? on: September 16, 2016, 03:08:01 PM
Not sure about being written to disk, but it definitely had to read it from the disk.
My only explanation so far would be, that some old version of bitcoin core did write this.

I have not yet restarted my server since I found out with the 0.13.0, I actually cannot claim id does write something to the disk.
But as I have restarted Bitcoin core several times on the running server  (uptime like 2 days), I can confirm that the history stored on disk - obviously, but maybe from earlier versions - 0.13.0 did read on every startup.

Let me check again:

Yup. My bitcoin-qt definitely stores history to disk, as even garbage I put in, like

walletpassphrase "shitty passphrase" timeout

appears again after I shutdown and restart my bitcoin-qt and then simply press arrow up.
No version I've ever used saves history when closed. Are you quite sure you're not just minimising it?
1736  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: WTF? bitcoin-qt Wallet Passphrase in history??? on: September 16, 2016, 09:44:41 AM
How do I get rid of this unbelievable behavior?
By clicking the Clear Console button (shortcut: Control-L), which has the added benefit that your passphrase is no longer displayed right there on the screen, so why on Earth would you not clear it anyway if other people have access to your machine? Huh
1737  Other / Off-topic / Re: In intelligence, where would you place yourself? on: September 13, 2016, 03:37:32 AM
They are assholes without compassion.
What are you talking about? We can be perfectly compassionate when it serves our interests. As opposed to actual assholes, who are uncompassionate all the time. They don't tend to get very far in life.

They lack something that we can call human nature.
Human nature is overrated.



Considering how ridiculous some intelligent people are - Big Bang Theory, Black Hole Theory, The Theory of Evolution, The Theory of Relativity - I think I would place myself outside of it (intelligence).

Cool
Quoted for posterity.
1738  Other / Meta / Re: How about a sticky post in the speculation section warning about the bots? on: September 13, 2016, 03:02:31 AM
You know, the primary people that don't recognize these bots are spammers. I've seen some of them reply to several of those posts (which tend to be different in content with randomized titles about Bitcoin dying), leading to the conclusion that they are generally unaware of these things even though they 'spend a lot of time' in that section (obviously not for the right reasons).
Don't recognise or don't care? I've said it before and I'll say it again: sig spammers either can't or won't read what they're replying to. At all. I've even seen them reply to those word-salad diet pill ads. It's beyond ridiculous.

Oh guys where the world Is going...HOW COME THEY COULD SIMPLY REGISTER A COMPANY AND SCAM PEOPLE? WHERE ARE THE GOVERNMENTS?

It's so crazy, I used to trust every registered company online and now I'm just disappointed.
I told you, anyone can register a company. It's normally just a tax thing. It certainly doesn't mean that the company is trustworthy in any way, or even that it's actually being run by the people who's name it's registered in. Whatever gave you that idea?
