Other / Meta / Re: Insulting another member = BAN ? Good rule, no?

No, I prefer the current policy of not banning someone over a single post (unless they are a newbie), only if the problem becomes a pattern.
If not one post, then how many occurrences? Things like this are easily tracked with post history. I can probably sit for five minutes and think of one or two people, that I enjoy a good portion of their posts, could easily and happily see gone because of retarded insults. Well, technically, insults are considered trolling, and trolling (on more than a few occasions) is a bannable offense. If there's someone you'd like to be reviewed for banning, Theymos has the only and final call on that. PM him. Us mods have no ban power, and ban requests can come from anybody. |

Not to mention the administration, plugin and moderation features on modern software would make this forum so much more. The For Sale section wouldn't be a mess like it is now. The reputation system would actually function and be useful just to mention two things out of the hundreds. Tell me about it... Did you guys know that we have no moderation queue? Every time you click the Report to moderator (Don't stop! Too few people use it already!), an email is blast out to every moderator and it's impossible for us to know if another moderator has already dealt with the post in question, unless the action that was taken was to delete or move the post. |

Problem #1: How the hell am I supposed to know what addresses were Mybitcoin receiving addresses to begin with? I can start a thread, but only a tiny fraction of people are going to see it or post their receiving addresses in there. Quite easily. Using the blockchain, you can narrow down which transactions were from an ewallet by looking for transactions with almost no change. From there, some additional analysis can tell you with near certainty which addresses belonged to Mybitcoin. |

For all of you supporting Matthew, you know he's bitmole right?
Yes. He approached me with this idea when he realized that the community really lacked a reputation system focused on Businesses instead of individuals. He seems to have realized his earlier mistake and learned from it. That said, I'm not entirely sure that I'd trust him with much money... |

HAH. told you. (btw whatever happened to the rest of this thread, I will keep to myself.  be nice. ) It went way off-topic, and thus was deleted in accordance of forum policy. People, we need you to report these things BEFORE they start stretching on for pages. The person who said that they reported a post was lying. Anyway, back to the topic, folks! |

Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: The definitive answer to how much bandwidth does bitcoin use.
|
on: August 03, 2011, 08:09:36 PM

It could be estimated from this, that approximately 50 Megs per day would be used by a standard client with 8 connections. Unfortunately, it cannot. You need to remember that people with only outgoing connections are very unlikely to announce blocks or transactions that the nodes that are connected to it (which are well-connected since they accept incoming connections) haven't already seen. The inverse is also true: well-connected nodes are extremely likely to have to broadcast new transactions/blocks to a large portion of the nodes connected to it. As a result, in order to get bandwidth numbers for a node that doesn't listen, you will need to do this test again with a node that doesn't accept incoming connections. |

Does anyone know anyone at blizzard to lobby?  Yes, both directly and indirectly (I'm a personal friend of Sixen over on Diablofans). Now that there are sites like bit-pay and btcinch, it might be time to bring this to Blizzard's attention. I'll have to read more about this before I send anything, though. (I'm on vacation and don't have much time right now) |

This is the real bji, right?
Yes, it's me, I have no idea what the forum software did because someone else's entire post is attributed to me! You can tell that I didn't write it because it's pointing out flaws in some of my own logic and not written from my perspective on the matter. Weird. Sorry, I think someone hit edit instead of quote. We're working to figure out who. |

Also on-topic from the changelog wiki: No pages link to Changelog. this can be frustrating if you're going to the wiki to find something like the changelog and nothing actually links to it. you pretty much have to search for bitcoin changelog on google to get to that wiki page. Did you fix it? i didn't know i was allowed to... sorry... is it a free-for-all like wikipedia? Pretty much. Just make an account on the wiki and edit away! |

Hey guys, no use bashing him. What's done is done and it's not going to bring anything back.
I suggest you use the five stages of grief: DABDA (denial, anger, bargain, depression, acceptance) and move on to acceptance because the first four stages are pointless.
Well, that is if you believe the story. Im not saying its false, I dont have any indications that its either true or false. But all these wallet.dat's being erased magically from all these services without the owners having any kind of local copy... It stings at kilometers of distance. What we should do is locate the keys where their funds where stored and keep an eye on them. If some years after they start to be moved you know what happened. Also, doing this would make anyone thinking on doing the same think twice about pulling something similar. This worries me. These incidents happened WAY too close to each other. I'm worried that we're dealing with someone who's trying to destroy bitcoin, rather than profit... |
