New feature... Timezone support.  ;-)  Set your timezone in your account settings.

Cool, thanks for that, my head only seems to work in NZST or UTC (GMT).  I am getting old Wink

I don't know why you want a bandwagon to become president? Can you vote for a vehicle in New Zealand? 'Fiat Bandwagon for President.'


I wish I did not have a mouth full of hot coffee when I read that.......

I blame the spell check in chrome.  Roll Eyes

Hi,

Good pool, been playing with it for a few days (I even found a block with a CPU miner (asdfnz)), I do have one request though, how about allowing users to set their timezone.  Or at the very least set your server to UTC (like the blockchain).

PST is cool and all, but it makes my head hurt when I look at your graphs.

True, most liquidation's in New Zealand are handled outside of the courts (apart from a rubber stamp) unless there is some sort of contention, what I am interested in is if it gets picked up or referred to the SFO (Serious Fraud Office).  The criteria is ;-

* There are multiple victims (usually investors) of the suspected fraud
* The sum of money lost exceeds $2,000,000
* The alleged criminal transactions have significant legal or financial complexity beyond the resources of most other law enforcement agencies.
[ source: http://www.sfo.govt.nz/what-is-serious-fraud ]

Like I said, I am being selfish, it would probably mean that it will be all gone by the end of the process.  It would be good if we got some sort of ruling as to the legal aspects of bitcoin's and digital currency's in general.

Acting in its capacity as creditor to Bitcoinica LP, the Wendon Group investment fund will appoint a receiver under New Zealand law.

I have been kind of waiting and hoping for this.  I am not a Claimant so I could take no direct action myself but I applaud your actions. (Even though I think you may get next to nothing back)

What I am really (and selfishly) hoping for is that it will give a legal test case and President of the status of Bitcoin in New Zealand Law .  It will probably have to go all the way to the High Court to do it, and New Zealand is probably the only country in the world you can do it in at the moment (I wont bore you with New Zealand Law and current event's  Roll Eyes ) .

From there it is a simple step to Commonwealth Law because of the quirks of how New Zealand law works and from there to International Law will probably have to involve another president case (or possibly even the same one).

I humbly suggest everyone get behind this bandwagon.

Thank you for this informations!

How can i improve my website with this suggestions?

Sorry, I know you said you were in beta and I may come of a bit harsh, my suggestions are;-

Unblock your whois data, you are asking people to trust you with their assets, it is hard to trust someone that is deliberately trying to hide from you.

You also need to look at your web server,  it is leaking potentially exploitable information ( have a look at D:\Documentos\vivar\THSISPAG\THSISPAG\BD\AcessaBD.cs for example ) and going to your IP shows a 404 page with a generic error.

The actual website looks good though, but with it leaking information like that, I don't dare to put any sort of personal information in to create an account.

And fix your PTR record, I know it is not essential, but things like that bug me and don't look professional at all, even for a beta site.  You are asking people to trust you with their bitcoin's over and above someone that they are dealing with after all.
247  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Broker - Bitcoin To You on: August 01, 2012, 12:11:23 PM
I do not understand why people are not using our website, if there is anything we can improve, please tell us!

Since you asked I had a quick look, nice looking website, but I have found a few things to fix;-

You have a SSL Cerificate, Good.

Your whois details are blocked by privacyprotect.org, Bad.

Your virtual host configuration is broken ( http://173.192.48.175/Form/Home.aspx Server Error in '/' Application. ), Bad.

Your website is leaking information ( http://www.bitcointoyou.com/cartaobitcoin/Form/Home.aspx ), Scary a 404 page might be in order.

Your PTR record is 175.48.192.173.argos.nethorizontes.com.br, Looks like an ISP's Dynamic pool.

You include a physical address on you website and you include a phone number on you website, both good things.  I did not give you a call to check it though, I did look on Google maps to see a nondescript building.

better educated on hacking then those that go to universities(nothing against the integrity of universities per se)

I would agree with you to a certain extent, many a time I have attempted to bash my brains out on the sharp pointy bit offered by the corner of my desk when a new graduate "invents" some new and novel way to propel feces at astonishing speed into the revolving metal blades.

But on the other hand I have also had some talented novices do their level best to put the whole mess into orbit.

I suppose what I was trying to get at is there is nothing like years of experience and training when trying to keep the shit in the bowl.

But how will any one get a integrity in financial security if they don't make financial applications?

They could do it the way I did it, go to university, get a degree and then work in the industry for 20 years while keeping up to date, gaining certification's attending conferences, going on vendor & paid seminars.

There is no short cuts to becoming competent unfortunately.

Odd,

Assuming you did the shut off everything thing I suggested the next thing I would do is download the blockchain from scratch and a new wallet.

I use jsonRPCClient and jsonRPCServer classes alot and have never experienced the same issues.
251  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Service: security audits on: July 30, 2012, 08:32:05 AM
Are you able to do ISO/IEC 27001 accreditation?

I would love to find someone that can for Bitcoin's.  It would have a good chance to sway my employers (the board mainly) into getting more involved in crypto currency's. 

The clients that we do software for regularly move considerable amounts of digital currency across boarders (legally).  It is part of the reason that I am doing more research into the subject of bitcoin's and its ilk.
252  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [IDEA] BitBackup on: July 30, 2012, 07:32:01 AM
HTTP post has no concept of replication, storage, fault tolerance and even with SSL has far less encryption then the bittorrent protocol is capable of.

Writing an app to do all of this is of course possible, but why re-invent the wheel (with possible dangerous bo bo's) when there is an extensively audited and trusted open source alternative with library's written in just about a bijilion languages?

Still, I do like tin foil hat's, the girls love em.
253  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [IDEA] BitBackup on: July 30, 2012, 06:56:19 AM
Bittorrent protocol do what work? Give my wallet to everyone. Bittorrent protocol has no purpose in this, and just seed your wallet to anyone who can crack the code. Even if it is in a truecypt container, i don't want other computers that I don't give permission to have it.

The actual distribution of the files, bittorrent is a very robust P2P way (and open source) of storing information.  It can be used in many more ways than just downloading movies and music. 

It could be used as a storage mechanism that fits Herodes proposal.

If, as you say " i don't want other computers that I don't give permission to have it" what Herodes proposes is probably not for you.  I think it is quite a good idea and already do something similar using bittorrent, its not an application though, just bittorrent and bash scripts running on geographically distributed computers.
254  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [IDEA] BitBackup on: July 30, 2012, 05:54:04 AM
This may sound insane but until you get your project underway,

You could put it all into a truecrypt container with a strong password and keyfile and seed it with bittorrent.  Seed it on every computer you own, ask your friends to seed it. upload it to pirate bay, title it bitcoin wallet.dat with 1000 bitcoin's in it.  Even ask people here to seed it.

Bittorrent is great like that (As long as your password isn't "1234" ).

Regardless, I would look into the bittorrent protocol to do the actual work behind what you propose.
255  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: [1btc reward] PHP RPC commands freezing bitcoin [at same time as a new block] on: July 30, 2012, 05:20:39 AM
Try this;-

1. Shut everything down.

2. Disable your firewall.

3. Disable your Virus protection.

4. Go to User Account Control Settings and set it all the way to the bottom

5. Reboot (making sure that none of the above start automatically)

6. Start Bitcoind as administrator (right click on the Icon and "Run as administrator")

7. Start your process that invokes the PHP script (right click on the Icon and "Run as administrator")

8. See if it is fixed!!!

At that point, if it is not fixed restart all of the above and reboot.  If it is fixed work backwards up the list until it is broken again, then yell "Aha, that's the problem".  ;P
256  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: bitcoind is too heavy on: July 24, 2012, 11:23:55 PM
Just a follow up on my suggestion of running small spot instance's, I don't think I stressed it enough above.  Make sure that your Drives and Instance are set to :-

Delete on termination:   No

I had an unfortunate incident a while back with a medium spot instance that a client setup (did not want to let me into his AWS control panel).  He set the instance to persist (good) but when he set up the drives he left the tick box that says "Delete on Terminate" ticked.

The instance went down for 15 minutes (spot price spiked to $1 or something) and it started up correctly..... with a fresh OS install.

You have been warned!

If you are unsure, fell free to drop me a line and I will try to help.

258  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Help finding number of destroyed namecoin's on: July 24, 2012, 09:07:34 AM
Thanks for that, 85127.53 should be good enough number for me to work on for now, if not I will hack something together to use the method you give from the blockchain.
259  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Help finding number of destroyed namecoin's on: July 24, 2012, 04:15:55 AM
Hi All,

I have a question, with namecoin's you can do "namecoind name_scan" and get retuned a list of domains that have been registered (to a limit of 500, you can add a number after that to return more).

But this will only return domain names that have not been expired by the block count.

What I would like to know is if there is an easy way to see all name transactions, the reason that I am asking is more academic than anything, I want to know how many namecoins out of the generated block pool have been destroyed (i.e. been used to register domains).

Thanks for you help and any answer you can give, the method how to work it out is probably more important to me than the answer.
260  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: what's next for Bitcoin? on: July 21, 2012, 10:44:42 AM

And I gave you the benefit of doubt, and thought you where just too lazy to use search/google/whois.


Thanks :p , and I am getting off point, the point was we need more places like Jeremy's that offer goods & services that we need with names and phone numbers and less like http://save-trust.com/ (for example).

Without picking on them too much directly but wow, give us your bitcoins and we will give you more back, but we will make sure you don't know who we are.  There is just too many of them.
