Your problem is easily avoided by using coin control. That way, you can choose which coins to spend, how to combine them, and you will not be caught by surprise that you can't spend the change, because you will know exactly how much change there will be in each transaction, and where will it go.

Coin control is a feature, which currently only the original Bitcoin Core wallet has (as far as I know).

Like this clown knows any better than a single student at MIT? I don't think he actually understands bitcoin, the innovation, or any advantages, he just sees "magic internet money". Maybe he will look back in a decade, and understand how clueless he was.

It’s free money. Would there be similar hand-wringing about MIT’s beliefs if I walked around campus handing out Benjamins?

You are confused because you are talking about two completely different things as if they are both the same thing.

Thing number 1: Accepting an unconfirmed transaction that is funded by confirmed outputs.

If someone sends you a transaction, and the transactions that the inputs come from are confirmed, then malleability doesn't affect you.  As long as the transaction is well propagated and includes an appropriate fee, it's a pretty small risk to accept it.  For small value payments, most merchants would consider this an acceptable risk (probably a lower merchant risk than shoplifting, chargebacks, and counterfeit bills).

Thing number 2: Spending the output from an unconfirmed transaction.

If you receive an unconfirmed transaction, and then try to spend those bitcoins that you just received before they have confirmed, you then have a problem with malleability.  The transaction ID of the unconfirmed transaction could change before it confirms, which would then make your transaction invalid.  While it is often reasonably safe to accept unconfirmed transactions, it is never very safe to spend those bitcoins until the transaction has confirmed.

Unconfirmed transactions are not risky due to the malleability issue unless you are relying solely on the tx id. You can safely use unconfirmed transactions as long as you don't use only the tx id to track them pre-confirm.

Anyway you don't even need to wait for a confirm if your buying food or drinks or whatever under $500  if clerk confirmed miner fee paid and transaction appears on his side then it is most likely paid and your good to go.

I sent them from and it confirmed in 6 minutes WTF, I have never seen anything so efficient..

I know you pick B, that's why you are shilling me.  Luckily, I have freewill and I chose to work for myself and not the system.  Is there a problem with that?

I have no problem with tits personally.

But in all seriousness, tent stoves exist and will suffice in keeping the area warm.

Cold is also in your head.  You're only cold if you think you're cold.  A good friend told me that back in the day.  Temperature is all relative to perception.

And I love the snow, should be awesome.

Shill for whom?

By the way, what makes you think I've got tons of Bitcoins?

Am I in this supposed "scamring"?

Fine and dandy. The point is, there is no overpopulation. 

Over 99% of the idea that we are overpopulated is BS propaganda, designed to herd the people into the cities where they can be controlled by big government.

That's not very friendly of you.  Friends normally understand one another.

Buffer, you, vod and jonald are all shills.  Do you think someone with this level of awareness would not notice after being shilled for nearly three years?

I have been told personally that vod is within a scamring of early adopters that are comparable to the greediest fucks in charge today.  All they give a damn about is securing their wealth in BTC so they can live their grandiose delusion of a materialistic life of greed just to have a miserable death.  It's not hard to feel the hate resonating off the posts of vod.

Look, if scientists and researchers had more than a rudimentary understanding of how things work, they would have been able to double and triple our lifespan long ago.

No one man is too good for anything, it takes true courage and real truth to swallow your own self righteous pride, and actually work hard for things while following your dreams. That my friend is what being a true contributor to human society is all about.

You're not stopping me but you're slowing things down.  Either I can A) get a loan, set up my property and grow food, conduct business, produce music, write a book and pay back squall in a near time frame, or B) can work a minimum wage slave job at the cost of my soul for two-three years while retarding progression musically and spiritually, offsetting the release of the Tale of Dank and the music festival, or C) can work for myself as I do now with no assistance from anybody for more time than if I was given a hand to get on my feet but much less time than if I sold my will to a business, while retaining the peace and values I hold.

One day you will see all I have contributed and how you sent nothing more than ridicule and derision.

I think you missed everything I said in my last post, let me quote it for you again.


Do I use things that were made by society?  Yes.  I wear shoes, I wear pants, shirts, underwear all manufactured by large corporations.  I ride a motorcycle manufactured in Japan because that's what society offered.  The society I was born into was molded this way, so I am working with what I have.

I have a Fender Strat and Marshall amplifier, both of which I'm sure are registered as incorporation, but I am utilizing these tools to distribute a positive message of love through music.

I'm going to organize a music festival of a large scale, that will use a 140' stage, over 100 array speakers, 100 lights, a large LED video wall and a shit ton of porta pottys, all manufactured by companies.

You fall short to see the intentions of my life.  I'm living to make a positive change.  I have handed my life into the will of god, which is why I can do the things I do without fear.  I have nothing but faith, and as every day passes, that power only grows.

Don't think I think you're all horrible people for consuming earth and building society as you did, I don't.  We all do the best we can with the information given.  You did your best, just as I did my best when conducting my business with squall.  Now that doesn't mean we should close ourselves off from growing and learning.  Change is hard to do, that's human nature, but when presented with a higher understanding of life and how it could be, we oughta strive to manifest it into reality, not cling to the way it is.  If we always held onto the past, we would never move forward through time.

I believe everyone is a good person deep down.  What matters is if you believe you're a good person, not what you think but what you believe.

We had to make society the way it is for it to be as it is now.  We needed people like Hitler, Bush and Obama.  We needed them to fuck things up a bit for us to become aware of the nature of the world and learn from it.  We needed WWII to give birth to the counter culture in the 60's.  We need error in human life to learn as a species and grow.  It is the human experience.  It is all perfect is you truly see it so.  But at some point, we need to simply man up and take the information we have learned and do something with it.  We needed to create and destroy earth in order to develop intellectually to where we are now.  But now that we have found a higher level of understanding, with the power of the internet, psychedelics and the will of youth, we need to do something with it.

Rather than living the same pattern of a life indefinitely until you die, let's create a new way of life.  Let's create a world where people don't die.  I know it's possible, I know how to do it, I know I will not die, so let's stop the stupid games of judgment and doubt.  Take a step back and find some humility.  We all make mistakes, we all are wrong.  I have been wrong so many times in my life, but the only thing that matters is that I have acknowledged when I was wrong and only once you see and accept your misconceptions can you find the truth.  If you cling to the delusion you were brought up with forever, you will never find the true state of reality.

Why can't we love each other?  Why can't we be friends?  Why can't you ask questions rather than call names?  Why can't we be the product of millions of years of evolution that we are?

Right, because I did have an iphone, and now I don't.  It fell out of my jacket pocket when I was recording myself flying down the highway.

Try again.

Clearly I have to use some resources from society to become a rockstar and host a million person music festival.  Doesn't mean I have to vouch off my soul to the will of the machine.

Ok shill.  Please site one lie.  Good luck.

I don't have an iphone..

I don't have an iphone..

Freestyled these with my iphone cause errybody hates dank and so what difference does it make if someone judges me for making some sporadic music?
