I've found this is the best way to moderate. Only delete obvious spam, and lock the trolls. Doesn't hurt to send a PM to offenders every so often.

If you don't hear something after 36 hours, try emailing again. They're pretty backed up, and can't hire fast enough to meet the demand.

If you want someone to invite you, you'll need to show some evidence that you can be trusted. For example, an Ebay or Amazon seller account.

Getting tons of errors. Site seemed to be down for a few minutes in the past hour as well.
Yeah.

There is nothing odd at all about this. He's just transferring most of MtGox's coins off-site. That means that you won't be able to access these funds even if you had root access to his server. This is a GOOD thing. In fact, I'd be worried if we DIDN'T see this.

Sorry if this has been posted somewhere else before but I can't seem to find it.
Is it possible to disable the default Bitcoin process of creating a new address for each transaction that occurs. I know it's there to encourage anonymity but I'd still like to disable it...
Thanks in advance!!!
Not at this time.

I've become very interested in bitcoin and am in the process of setting up my own mining rig. I need to be able to ask technical questions somewhere that they will be seen in order to do this.
Please un-newbie me!
Try them here first, or better yet, search for the answer. This is the whole reason this forum exists.

Hi, I registered since I had a few questions about GUI Miner but apparently I can't post in that thread? What gives?
Post them here. They are probably questions that have been answered several times.

I'm curious, why do we even have transaction fees in the main client?
We want people to get used to it so that there won't be any issues once no new coins are created. Also, it prevents spam.

Votes aren't a good way to decide these issues. I suggest Matt just submit a pull req to enable it by default and let Gavin decide. UPnP is a de-facto standard that's used by virtually all p2p software. The fact that it's even an option puts Bitcoin behind apps like Skype in terms of UI simplicity. It's definitely worth enabling it by default, at minimum.
Instead of talking about how great UPNP is it would be much more useful to tell everyone if you've tried it and if it worked. It's not a feature developers are likely to use — other than to test it. It would be pretty terrible if it turned out that it had a bug which occasionally crashed bitcoin and it got enabled by default. It's been pretty well tested at this point. Also, I too don't get the "vulnerability" reason of not having UPnP on by default. It seems to me that the issue is that those people who are concerned about it have it enabled in their router, not that Bitcoin would use it.

Can you display the full 8 decimal places in the Balance field? I don't like having a hidden amount of value left in my wallet.
What you see is what you have. The full decimals will appear if you receive a transaction that has fractions of a bitcent.

They are being reduced to .0005 BTC in 0.3.23, and will be reduced to .0001 in the version after that.

Maged, just lock threads like these from now on.
If you wish to discuss policy, the stickied thread is for you.
I don't see a problem with giving them a day to rant outside of the stickies, but whatever. We should really split the sticky between discussion and whitelist requests, then...

Hey, long story short, when coming up with a world setting for a tabletop game, I decided bitcoin would be used as the currency. However, there are several odd situations that arose in the world, that I don't know how bitcoin would react to.
The first situation, is one city, with approximately 10% of the world's population, and oh say..... 20% of the world's bitcoins was suddenly walled off from the rest of the world. Both sides believed the other to be permanently gone, and have adjusted policies as such. Ten years after this fizzure, they are re-united. What would happen to the bitcoins when the two drastically different chains are merged? The shorted chain would be consumed by the longer one, invalidating all generated coins and any transaction involving those coins. However, only one connection would be needed between both sides to prevent this. The second situation, one entity in this setting is supernaturally lucky. aside from mining success, what else could happen to him? Would it be theoretically possible to accidentally produce some Richdude's bitcoin address and take Richdude's coins?
Yes, but the sun will expand and consume the Earth before that would happen, statistically.

If I cant ask questions and according to the mods I have nothing good to contribute to these forums... how else will I ever be able to post?
There's nothing stopping you from asking questions. If several hours go by without a response, feel free to report your post or PM a mod that's online and we'll move it to a different forum for you.

I'm just gonna add my .02btc in here and say, I've been a lurker and had an account here for a while.
I don' t post often, I don't have questions (I know how to read). I am not a troll.
Now I want to interject into the conversation and am being treated like a toddler.
I understand the policy, I think it makes sense. But here I am posting a filler post just so I can hit my 50...
It's now just 5 posts and 4 hours logged in time.

How do i attach an image to a post?
Upload it to an image hosting site and use the [img] tags here to link it.

So if I want to post a problem I have been having to the deepbit thread I should post it here first and hope tycho sees it?
To be fair, since you are new, any problem you think you have with a service can most likely be resolved without contacting the person directly and wasting their valuable time. Any legitimate issue would most likely be brought to the person's attention without you.
