561  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: 100 trillion Zimbabwe $ bills for Bitcoins on: November 01, 2012, 02:20:25 PM
I've setup a bitmit auction ...

Cool...any chance of an option to add a silver round instead of additional Zim$ notes?

Like this? https://www.bitmit.net/en/trade/i/8876-1-gram-silver-art-coins-featuring-bitcoin
this way you can have the bills and coins. if you need any other combo, please let me know

Exactly...think I'll be putting in an order in a little bit. :-)

I've setup a bitmit auction as 'buy now item' and 'more than one available'
it will automate checkout, enable escrow of bitcoins (you will be asked to unfreeze them once you receive the mail) & the auction is here.

Cool...any chance of an option to add a silver round instead of additional Zim$ notes?

Someone new to the bitcoin community doesn't know about bit instant but obviously they know about ebay.  That's the majority of the problem there.

Someone who stumbles upon bitcoin will do the following.

www.google.com

....

I doubt they cant figure it out.

Considering the continued utility of sites like Let Me Google That For You, I think you overestimate the average luser's search skills.
564  Economy / Service Discussion / Difference in information returned by blockexplorer.com vs. blockchain.info? on: October 29, 2012, 09:44:50 PM
I knocked together some PHP a while back to plot income at an address to a couple of graphs.  As originally written, I grabbed income information from http://blockexplorer.com/q/mytransactions/addr.  blockexplorer.com had a couple or three instances where they were behind the blockchain a fair bit, so I rewrote my script to pull from http://blockchain.info/address/addr?format=json.  This source showed a drop-off in total income, which was of a little concern. Of more concern was that the total income never seemed to go up.  To see what I mean, try these two links:

http://alfter.us/income.php?addr=1NgYDzGuHrJUmRSocfScYgBuGwsuvBB9Kz&src=1Baf75Ferj6A7AoN565gCQj9kGWbDMHfN9&simple=true
(uses blockexplorer.com)

http://alfter.us/income2.php?addr=1NgYDzGuHrJUmRSocfScYgBuGwsuvBB9Kz&src=1Baf75Ferj6A7AoN565gCQj9kGWbDMHfN9&simple=true
(uses blockchain.info)

Note that the second set of charts doesn't go as far back datewise as the first set.  I thought these data sources were somewhat equivalent (they are formatted differently), but it looks like that's far from the case.  It appears that blockchain.info doesn't dig as far back into the past; blockexplorer.com, AFAIK, returns all income at an address, going back to when the address first appears in the blockchain.  Was I wrong to assume I'd get the same info from the two websites?

@GernMiester - When I mine a more substantial amount of coins I may donate some to you so you can buy yourself some sense of humor.

I suspect that would be a waste of your coins, as the impression I've gotten from him is that he's just an anti-social douchebag about whom you'd be well-advised to not waste any mental bandwidth.
566  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: Low profile Radeon HD 7xxx series release??? on: October 21, 2012, 05:53:34 PM
Does anyone know when/if a low profile Radeon HD 7xxx series card will/might be released.  It's not really for bitcoin mining but for a nettop but I might do a bit of litecoin mining on it for fun.  I'm after a passive cooled one so is not worth waiting for a 7450 and probably should just get the 6450  Huh

There are a bunch of single slot cards 7750

There not 'low-profile' cards.

This one looks like it's both single-slot and low-profile:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202002&name=Desktop-Graphics-Cards

(FWIW, I picked up the overclocked Gigabyte card a couple months ago.  It'll mine all day at about 133 MH/s with no tweaking.  It's neither single-slot nor low-profile, though.  You should expect a bit less (maybe 120 MH/s) from cards running at standard speed.)
567  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin-Qt/bitcoind version 0.7.1 released on: October 21, 2012, 07:12:19 AM
When building bitcoind 0.7.0 from the Gentoo bitcoin overlay, there was a patchfile (http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/bitcoind/eligius/sendfee/0.7.0-eligius_sendfee.patch.xz) applied if the eligius USE flag was set.  This appears not to have been updated for 0.7.1.  Is this something to be concerned about?  What changes does this patch make?  I'm not mining at Eligius...currently using Eclipse, but am considering shifting back to P2Pool.

(In the meantime, I've copied the 0.7.0 ebuild to a local overlay, commented out the Eligius patch code, and gotten 0.7.1 working on Gentoo.)

It looks like all of the ASIC products will be built around the same board, populated differently. This raises a question: since the ASIC in the Jalapeņo is significantly underclocked to keep power consumption down, would it be feasible to add in some of the power-supply components of the other models and a heatsink to get the Jalapeņo running at the full 7.5 GH/s that the chip can deliver?

570  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Linux vs Windows for Dedicated Mining on: October 19, 2012, 05:44:31 PM
You could learn how to use Windows instead though.  Then it'd not be a pain in the ass.  I've never had a virus ever.  I've never had it crash ever.  That's because I know what I'm doing.  Linux is not user friendly but if you want to take user unfriendliness to the next level, just go on a Linux forum and ask a question.

Linux is user-friendly!  It's just picky about who its friends are. :-)

(Most of my computers run Linux (more specifically, Gentoo), including my mining rig...about the only machine I work with daily that uses Windows is in my office at work.)
571  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Are USD Withdrawals From Mt Gox to Dwolla Still Taking Weeks? on: October 18, 2012, 08:47:51 PM
On a related note, I'm attempting my first transfer from MtGox to Dwolla.  After plugging in my Dwolla account and whatever other bits they needed, they said they needed to do some sort of "validation" on my Dwolla account.  It's been an hour or two...how long is this supposed to take? 

Everything was sorted the next morning. I initiated a transfer, and had the money in my Dwolla account in about an hour.

Cool

I can see this kind of "links" on certain pages and in this forum.
What is it good for?  It doesn't do anything in my browser.
What is it supposed to do?  What does it do in your browser?
Maybe brings up the bitcoin client?

If you have one installed, yes.  On my iPhone, for instance, tapping a bitcoin: URL will open the Blockchain.info app.

574  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Vanitygen & GPG for secure private keys ** 2+ factor auth ** (software provided) on: October 17, 2012, 06:32:10 PM
Thanks for the neat bash script (I figured the program I whipped up shouldn't be needed for Linux but having worked for so many years under a standard Windows environment I have become accustomed to writing small programs to do such things).

I assume to do the 2-factor implementation you would assign a variable to the output of the first gpg call and then feed the password plus this into the second call?


The original version of the script makes only one call to GPG.  It's fed two lines: the passphrase of the signing key and the Bitcoin private key.  The output from GPG is appended to the address and written to disk.

In the version that generates QR codes, the second call gets the passphrase and a generated PNG with the QR code of the private key.  This way, the private key (whether as text or a QR code) never goes to disk in unencrypted form.  A QR code is also generated for the address; this is written to disk unencrypted.

...(WTF does MtGox even mean).
...
MtGox means "Magic the Gathering Online Exchange". Enough said pro & con about that here previously...  Wink

In terms though of being [put your adjective here], i think it's no worse than the name "eBay"...  Smiley

Very early on, eBay was known as AuctionWeb:

Quote
The company officially changed the name of its service from AuctionWeb to eBay in September 1997. Originally, the site belonged to Echo Bay Technology Group, Omidyar's consulting firm. Omidyar had tried to register the domain name echobay.com, but found it already taken by the Echo Bay Mines, a gold mining company, so he shortened it to his second choice, eBay.com.

I still have the registration email from when I signed up for AuctionWeb in May 1997.  The link given at the end, http://www.ebay.com/aw/, returns 404. How much work would it have been to put in a 301 redirect?  Grin

GLBSE has refunded some of my balance. It looks like about what I had left of BTC1.50 after buying two shares of GIGAMINING, but not including the two (?) weeks' worth of dividends. From their email:

Quote
Your GLBSE account has been partially processed. 90% of your funds have been returned to you with this payment. Once we recieve [sic] the remaining funds from our treasurer and secretary the final payment will be made and you will be informed. We will also inform you when we process your assets, allowing you to continue your relationship with your issuer.
577  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: [Idea] Vanitygen with GPG to create private keys safely (with source code) on: October 16, 2012, 06:05:17 PM
Code:
#!/bin/bash
out=$(vanitygen 1 2>/dev/null | grep -v Pattern | tr "\n" " ")
addr=$(echo $out | sed "s/ Privkey.*//;s/Address: //")
key=$(echo $out | sed "s/.* Privkey: //")
(echo Address: $addr; \
echo ""; \
(echo <passphrase>; echo $key) | gpg2 --armor --recipient <dest-id> --encrypt --sign --local-user <src-sign-id> --batch --passphrase-fd 0 )>$addr.asc

...and to generate QR codes, add these to the preceding script:

Code:
qrcode -o $addr.png -l M $addr
(echo <passphrase>; qrcode -o - -l M $key) | gpg2 --armor --recipient <dest-id> --encrypt --sign --local-user <src-sign-id> --batch --passphrase-fd 0 >$addr-privkey.png.asc

qrcode is provided by libqrencode; a Win32 port is available.  Note that the private key QR code is also encrypted.
578  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: [Idea] Vanitygen with GPG to create private keys safely (with source code) on: October 16, 2012, 03:57:24 PM
Awesome. Been wanting this exact tool for some time.

Any chance of porting it to linux?

Not much to it as a shell script...knocked this together in Cygwin, but it'd work the same under Linux, Mac OS X, or whatever. Output is in the same format as produced here, but there's nothing to compile:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
out=$(vanitygen 1 2>/dev/null | grep -v Pattern | tr "\n" " ")
addr=$(echo $out | sed "s/ Privkey.*//;s/Address: //")
key=$(echo $out | sed "s/.* Privkey: //")
(echo Address: $addr; \
echo ""; \
(echo <passphrase>; echo $key) | gpg2 --armor --recipient <dest-id> --encrypt --sign --local-user <src-sign-id> --batch --passphrase-fd 0 )>$addr.asc

The address and encrypted private key are written to a file; leave out ">$addr.asc" on the last line if you'd rather have it go to stdout.  Substitute appropriate values as follows:

<dest-id>: address or PGP key ID for whom the private key should be encrypted
<src-sign-id>: address or PGP key ID for whom the private key should be signed
<passphrase>: passphrase for <src-sign-id>
579  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: More than one address within each vout? on: October 15, 2012, 03:46:28 PM
If you run bitcoind getrawtransaction abcd1234... 1 you get a fairly complex JSON object with all the information about the given transaction.  My question concerns the "addresses" field deep inside each "vout": if I understand regular Bitcoin transactions correctly, this array should usually contain only one address; on what circumstances would it contain more than one address?  Also, could someone point me towards one transaction (either mainchain or testchain) where more than one address is used?


Have a look at output #1 in the following testnet transaction:

http://blockexplorer.com/testnet/tx/829ce39233f7a073e4ffc4c7b594209a06f1987c86c51c17fcfcbdd2393bcdbf

This has two addresses.  Multi-signature transactions would use more than one address, but I'm not sure if this is an example of such.

Surely OP is just trolling.   No one can really be that stupid, can they?

Gambling is a tax on people who are bad at statistics.
