Yes. But you have to do this every so often (every 100 addresses).

You mean I have to make a copy every 100 addresses that my client creates?  Not every 100 blocks?

I'm pretty sure I'm a lonnnnnng ways off from generating 100 addresses.

Yes. It will take a while. You could also use a parameter to force pre-generation of any number of addresses - although I wouldn't know how.

Bidding starts at 30USD and is made in increments of at least 1USD.

You should start with a higher starting bid then.

If I ever get this resolved;
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=60166.0

I'll throw some BTC into it.  I have to get some OTC rep somewhere if iIm going to start being a player in this brave new BTC world.   Wink

LOL you and me both. I thought a good way to get rep was loaning out, didn't realize it was gonna cost me so quick.

next time, don't loan to people without good otc records. Those have nothing to lose most of the time.

How about voting with your money? As in only buying from pools that are not the largest.

If its bad for the network I dont want to support it with my money. I would never want to buy from a pool thats 51% since its a weakness.

I rather support small pools but I dont want to donate to people earning money by selling their coins.

Would it be possible to know from which pool the coins come, and rather only buy coins from small pools?

Perhaps in an exchange where you can select if you want to buy coins only from pools less than X% size thus creating a natural support for small pools.
Since if all pools would be small you would still buy from all pools.

Ofcourse a pool operator could own several small pools...

What if it were your coins and no one would want to take them? Smiley

Not saying noone would want to take them. Just optional.
But imagine you are an investor buying coins for $100.000 would you buy them from someone who makes the network less secure and makes it more likley that you lose that investment?  Or would you rather buy them from miners making the network more secure?


Why would you lose any of those coins? Unless you buy the whole 100k of coins from someone who has 51% of the network power and would double spend on you.

You will have to backup the wallet. Otherwise I don't think why it wouldn't be.

Yes, it's called testnet.

How much would be the minimum investment? I'd love to invest with you but am currently a bit short on bitcoins Smiley

Hi vuce, if I go with the first option, I would want a limited number of investors just so that I can keep the overhead low.

As far a quantities, PM me.
OK, I'll leave this one to others. Next time Smiley

Thanks for the reply. I get it. I had no idea there could be such a huge price range, that seemed extremely weird to me.

Dave, I have a question. I was browsing through ebay searching for koroit opals. How come there's such a huge price discrepancy - from 20$ to a few thousand $?

Black diamonds look really nice... You quite often see them on jewellery advertised with the phrase "Men can wear diamons too"
They sure do. Apparently there are only two deposits in the whole world. Interesting stuff.
316  Economy / Auctions / Re: 24 hour auction ***synthetic blue star sapphire 3.82 cts*** on: January 20, 2012, 08:12:35 AM
Oh, yes- so many.  Tourmaline can be black, as can garnet and diamond and black onyx and others.
diamonds can be black?  Shocked

More over, Bitcoinspinner seems unable to start up while on 2/3G. It will either crash or constantly timeout (application not responding, press wait/cancel/report).
On wifi it seems to work fine.

Im using an LG P500 with Android 2.3.3
I have tested BitcoinSpinner on several devices with Edge and 3g and for me it works flawlessly.
When you experience this can you for instance browse the web with your device?
Please use the 'report' option when the app crashes. This gives me a stack-trace of what went wrong, and I'll look into it.



it seems to crash consistently when it runs in the background for a while. I've sent a report.

I've considered it before, and it would be a good idea.  I don't know how to price them, so I haven't dabbled in it.

You'd need to consider several factors and come up with some sort of scale:

1) How long of a term?

2) How much is it for?

3) Who is it? What is their reputation like?

4) What are they using the loan for?

5) How reasonable is their method of repayment?

6) What is the overall btc market doing?

We should apply some game theory in order to get the general idea about those questions. It's been a long time since I've had anything to do with it, but I would look into it if there's interest when I get the time.
