our legal names are no more "real" than our internet names, just as dollars are no more "real" than bitcoins.
I completely agree, Neo. "Real" names are only really necessary in order for governments to data-match and keep track of you. Don't forget that friends and family might like to call you by your name They can just as easily call you 'neo' or 'astro', or any other preferred name. |

Many people have skills that they may not even realise are valuable, mainly because selling very small services for other payment methods like credit card is impractical.
However with bitcoin, it is much easier for people to earn in small amounts, for doing such things as writing an article, translating some text, maybe designing some graphics or other small jobs.
In this case, I think people who are just starting out and wondering how to get some BTC, should think about what skills they can offer, even if they seem basic, and post a message in the Marketplace forum, outlining their skills and what work they would be willing to do for some bitcoins.
eg. Can you do graphics? Can you do PHP?
Even relatively unskilled people may find work doing "SEO" jobs that entail posting messages to forums or visiting a site/clicking a particular link every day.
Any newbie that wants to work for bitcoins has no excuse for not posting a message about their skills in the marketplace area!

Hey, if you don't mind me asking...what exactly is the practical application of having an embeddable image of a custom currency amount?
What I mean is, if you just want to know a conversion rate, then there are nice web services for that. If you want to serve the point of this and embed the image, it isn't clear to whoever is viewing the image that you're converting, say, $100 USD into BTC, because the image doesn't specify the amount in itself. To the viewer, it's just an arbitrary number pulled from nowhere, right?
I'm not challenging the usefulness of the app, but I'm just wondering what people will be using it for, since it was requested and all.
I can think of one just off the top of my head. Imagine a site that is taking donations in BTC but wants to display the USD value of the total donated. eg. "Our donation goal is $1000 worth of BTC, and so far we have collected [insert image here] worth of BTC". |

Sure. But I imagine that there is a lot of room in a VM to hide a nefarious program that's less detectable than a cron job.
In addition, regular Windows users may never have even heard of cron jobs. |

1. Each new wallet gets a predetermined number of coins (say, 50).
What stops me from making 1 million wallets? Hint: Answer starts with 'N'. |

Don't use the purgetx patch unless you're extremely sure you know what you're doing. What you're seeing isn't weird, it's expected. Don't worry about it too much, these are very small transactions so they might take a while to get into a block.
Yep, I know those little ones take a long time, still no idea why one outgoing '0/unconfirmed' transaction would be black and another grey though. |
|

Oh boy this is really weird. It was removed, definitely removed, but just while I've had the client open for a while, that same grey outgoing transaction suddenly came back. It just instantly popped itself back into the top of my transaction list without me even touching the program.
|
|
|
|
That's not an error. It means it didn't make it into a block yet. Just wait.
That second transaction you see in my screenshot says 1/unconfirmed, but when I started this thread it was also on 0/unconfirmed but it was black so I was trying to find out what the difference was (not a difference in confirmations). |
|
|
|
Unconfirmed transactions are only grey when you receive them. They don't count toward your balance, since they might never clear.
I have an outgoing transaction that is grey. Is that some kind of error?  By the way, this is using the official 0.3.20.2 binary that was downloaded from bitcoin.org when that version was current. Edit: Just tried in 0.3.21 with the same result, and have tried -rescan. Then I tried the new -purgetx and it has removed it for me. |

I couldn't find this in a forum search...
What is the difference exactly between greyed out transactions and black ones?
Obviously transactions with 1 or more confirmations are black, but it's the 0/unconfirmed ones that I'm unsure about because there can be both colours.
With the latest 2 transactions in my client at the moment, both are 0/unconfirmed, both are for 0.01, yet one is black and one is grey.

11,406.22
If you previously had 1% of the supply, you now have 1.00054% (210,000 / (21,000,000 - 11,406.22) * 100)% If you previously had 0.9994568% of the supply, congratulations, you now have 1% |

As of now, I am no longer supporting this site.
The number of people that try to scam me for refunds (+ more) is starting to outweigh the small % I've been taking. It's not worth my time to argue the point again and again to people who either are too stupid to understand or who are purposely trolling and fabricating in order to relieve me of my coins.
I'll be adding md5 verification to "Bitcoin Double" soon, if you want to keep playing, play there.

This guy needs some polish, but I think you guys are being way too hard on him.
I think it was just the fonts=idiot comment. 250 USD is too expensive for the current level of quality though. |

Added a pull request for "-purgetx" option.
Works for me.
Awesome. If someone wants to expedite a win32 binary, I'll pay for it (+ btc to m0Ray)  Okay finally built this binary myself today using your code copied+pasted from github and recovered a good number of lost coins from no-man's land... Please send me a payment address m0Ray, it was your function that did the trick. |

Does anyone know where I can download the windows source for 0.3.20.2?
Bitcoin.org doesn't have old versions on it's home page.
Thanks.

Buying for BTC (for BTC sallers)
I don't get this one at all, sorry. What is a 'BTC seller'? Someone who sells BTC, or someone who sells items in return for BTC? Complete opposites. Anyway, it's all just trading, both parties to a transaction are buyer and seller from a different point of view. When you go to the store to buy milk, what you're actually doing is selling money, and the store owner is using milk as a currency to purchase your money. |

Awesome, that worked thanks @Unfinishe: Just sent you a coin using my new binary, plus an extra 1 for matt |
