161  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [ANNOUNCE] Bitmessage - P2P Messaging system based partially on Bitcoin on: November 11, 2013, 06:33:36 PM
I'm just learning about BitMessage now.  I love the concept of BitMessage: as described in the introduction to the white paper, it fills a very important need.  But, after reading Sections 3 & 4, the "proof of work" for spam mitigation seems wasteful (and annoying to wait 4 min for delivery).  We're asking everyone to waste money (work) to prove they aren't spamming, when perhaps we could just ask them for money (bitcoin) directly to offset the costs of running the service.  Then they can spam all they want because it is profitable to process/store their transmissions.  (EDIT: I see this idea has been discussed earlier in the thread).

I don't have a solution  Cheesy  but there must be some way to create a *free market* for private communication transmission/storage/delivery using bitcoins.

EDIT 2: I'm imagining that Alice broadcasts her message so that it is packaged with a little bitcoin treat that somehow gets unlocked when Bradley downloads it, and the bitcoins get paid out in some fair but competitive way to the nodes that helped out.  

This is a FAQ (or if it's not an asked question, it at least comes up frequently).

Proof-of-work is NOT for spam mitigation. Just like with email, spam catching is up to the client. This is why I prefer to integrate with Thunderbird.

Proof-of-work is for flood prevention. It makes it costly to try to DoS the network by sending lots of messages.

Talk about a necro! The site isn't even around anymore; it's now just a parked page.

Can someone explain why sometimes after a long "delay" and then a user browser refresh the plus green "+" appears or disappears?

see screenshot here:       http://grab.by/rUcG   


Sometimes it shows up and sometimes is does not on just-dice.

It shows up for me all the time.

The moral of the story seems to be "don't trust third parties with your Bitcoins".  A lesson that lots of investors seem to be learning. 

A lesson that needs to be plastered everywhere possible. Inputs is far from the only example. In fact, it's hard to come up with a third party service one year old that stores customers coins and hasn't lost them Roll Eyes

Shocked I missed something. Can I get a link to the discussion where 30K BTC was won?

Yeah, it wasn't won.  It just should have been lost and wasn't...  Nakowa bet around 1.5M BTC in a single day, and ended up slightly up on the day when he should have been over 15k BTC down.  I think it was September 29th or there abouts.

Here it is in chart form.  As you can see, it's not that profits went down massively, but that expected profits went up massively at the end of September:

Got it. Thanks for the explanation.


What's happening to the TradeFortress deposit? Are you returning it to him, giving it to charity, keeping it on the site, attempting to give it to inputs.io users...?

tinus421PUzJmW9VQabHEtxRxMYwWiKn4D6tFXmxV 0.03 BTC received .003 extra

Which I immediately paid back to Seal.

Please let me back in, I only left for a day and made the dumb mistake being tempted by TradeFortress' campaign which bombed immediately after I joined.

It would suck if that would exclude me. Sad

Wow, what timing Sad
170  Economy / Services / Re: Get paid weekly for your signature on: November 08, 2013, 01:29:14 AM
With the fall of Inputs, I guess you are now the only one that pays this way Wink. Got a monopoly here, Seal.
Too bad he doesn't accept new members. Cry
Yeah, but right now, Seal's got a sort of monopoly. He could do whatever he wants with prices and still have the same people. After all, it's better something than nothing.
That's true. We certainly don't want to go back to the chaos of individual people having to seek out buyers for their signatures.

I'm literally dead. Lost my 2 factor auth. Anyway to reset it?

Do you know what 'literally' means?  If you're literally dead could you please stop posting; it's disconcerting.

Re. your 2FA, please email the address at the end of the JD FAQ tab giving details of your account and I'll get back to you.

He's literarily dead. No need to fuss so much over a typo Wink

I have lost a good deal of my net worth these past few weeks due to these market movements. Deeply concerned - will USD continue to drop? I am sad to say USD represents a large minority of my portfolio.

Why's that funny?

For one : what's special about it ?

For two :
Code:
$ dig NS inputs.io | grep linode

Congratulations, you have figured out our web facing server runs on Linode. While it runs bitcoind (for blockchain access, verifying signed messages and pushtx), it contains zero coins and communicates securely to the hot pocket / "main" server, which also does it's own database integrity checks  Smiley

Riight.

Actually, never mind that. That doesn't bother me. What bothers me is how terrible McAfee Antivirus is. How can you block the NSA if you can't even write a usable UI?

guess you didn't get the memo, he sold the company looooong ago, and no, he doesn't know how to uninstall it either

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKgf5PaBzyg

This is great. I take it back, now I might be in the market for his product. Murder allegations be damned, it was a pretty funny story while he hid in his own complex.


Then again, one has to wonder at the NSA-avoidance capacity of the guy who got caught with image gps metadata.
177  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Competition in the Emergency Room Marketplace? on: November 04, 2013, 03:38:27 AM
A legislative cap will discourage extraordinary measures to save children that are currently standard.
It's currently possible to receive treatment in the US at one hospital for $10,000, yet the same exact treatment down the street would cost only $5000 [citation needed]. All the consumer can do is try to have injuries closer to the cheaper one. A well-written law (?) might be able to fix this problem in a way that I can't see market dynamics doing.

Emergency healthcare is a rather unique situation in which there's no room for competition.

Quote
Healthcare = the death business.

The provider incentive is to keep you alive and dieing as long as possible on the highest margin profitable treatment.
The consumer incentive is not to die (which hasn't ever happened).
The secondary incentive is not to be impoverished or uncomfortable.

These incentives will be the same whether it is free market or non-competitive governmental single-payer.
This part makes sense, but I'm not really focusing on tax-funded health care in this topic.

Quote
The question is...
What can Bitcoin do to fix this?  Anything?

Perhaps we shall see.

Fat Tay Choon went to the Mining Academy in Brazil, east of Satoshi's yurt, where Gavin was kidnapped by the CIA's goons and forced to pretend f**king an anonymous decentralized biscuit—better than all the fish in the Pacific Ocean—but also to defray leeches intelligently with ECDSA fighting qubits for 16.8 dree12, or Phinnaeus must fling toilets towards psy‐ops, without potato smoothies mixed with fried chicken wings from BitMunchies.com, urbanchickennj.com, and Popeye's Bitcoin wallet, which deleted Satoshi's premine ability to cheer very victoriously, none like Butterfly Labs better enabled, but also Pirate crashing AIR applications without the express use of interest-free scams, conspiring with fraudulent sockpuppets and PPTs and..., you troll-herding piece of Shiitake mushroom, go lick Goat's horns until Theymos admits to having a quite erotic fetish involving honey badgers wearing thongs composed of soggy burlap waffles dangling from cosmic linoleum-based iphones running quantum chips explodes spewing deadly acid! b!z screamed out "Light is bright like...like... stars." When Markjamrobin opens the isolated window, he sees three pigs together in bed. Kouye and myself laugh when chinese food falls the impact kills Obama Bin ladin whoever thinks he may be terrorist, is correct but hates the bitcoin logo. Earth has snakes. Currently, the other species have decimated to tiny groups called "marko solo" whatever time it all comes and ends? However, Bitcoin's acidity level dipped causing catastrophic double-spends!

Meanwhile, AntiOps was confused by the awkward change to his penis melting uncontrollably. Vanilla Ice perfume spritzed onto cheese and greasy slime covered with babies boiled in a smelly old heatsink. But it tasted like shit therefore it poisoned his blood although he did survive. Reproductive organisms attacked the internal testicle which caused terrible congestion somehow. Evolution then terminated the smelly old business thank the inability of AntiOps to lock Satoshi's thread. In a transactional forum there was a debate about hacking unprotected accounts, however the debate shortly ended.

Phinnaeus Gage, king pluto, duke of the people. Returned one of his loans that he fraudulently claimed without declaring intentionally. Although this was bullshit. Earth was hit by a meteor which cause catastrophic events which cause people to cause mass destruction by proxy voting it was documented recently on the news that oranges are disguised anti-gravity pockets which have giant bears attacked Zeus because bitcoin accidentally crashed to Mars which created spaceships and aliens who pretended being humans wearing hats on their toes.

Altcoin suck on apples and oranges too. Megacoin is the most shit sucker of apples and melons ever. Most people love to troll others. Evolution is a slow process which created forks. It is beneficial to wash your feet because it distributes bacteria and oil, notwithstanding the beneficial attributes which are how chocolate arouses some of the miners brains. Today was an abysmal event which caused many abnormal but not smart bitcoiners because many of them are cute animals who were insane because of excessive oreo consumption. One watermelon is not love how people try me explotation Maybe Heisenberg Breaking bad control guy director or masturbation my time vampire drinks urine not lemon tek and water supernatural.

LEALANA is fat looking because pizza is sour with pickles which are sexy and never rot. So many people eat pizza it's unbelievable. The news said that pizza is bought mainly with anchovies which results in big wet weather which had massive gusts of wind with pouring milk down on everyones throat because it feels great! Although honey is very sweet taste it makes when it is served hot it melts softly but slowly.
The universe is populated with many planets which were destroyed by humans. Cyborgs then warped to the zoo and ate mushroom with a aerospace technician. Bitcoin has used a lot resources from peoples although people smell like melons.

Ipods suck. Androids rule. Altcoins also suck peanuts. Bitcoin is the greatest idea that has ever

Um that's dumb, why not just tax gasoline like almost every other country? surely the more gasoline you purchase,
the more miles you have driven.

That worked well in the past.  But the future vehicle is not powered by gasoline.  Do electric car tires wear down the road any slower?

Yes, actually, in the sense that all cars wear down the road significantly slower than trucks, to the point where gas taxes subsidize the trucking industry.
