1582  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: what if someone tries to genarate a huge number of bitcoin addresses.... on: January 11, 2012, 07:14:28 PM
LOL! you are a cute little newbie!

someone "could" generate all the addresses.

BUT it is 1.46150164 × 10^48 addresses we are talking about, and thats many many, and it would not be possible to have them in storage. it would be like counting all the sand grains in the world at least a few billion times

the basis of an address is the hash of the public part of an ECDSA-keypair.

so not its not possible. not even with new technology.

Guys, seriously?!! Is it really that hard to figure out? How is a business any different than my home, my bedroom, or my bathroom. If I don't want you there for whatever reason, then you're not welcome. Property is property regardless of it's description and purpose.

Just because you call it a business, doesn't change the fact that it's private property with general, and specific restrictions you set . It would no longer be your property if someone else got to decide what they could do with it. That would force it to be thusly communal and effectuate outright theft, not to mention the enslavement issue.

Ostracizing, and boycotting unconventional personal proclivities and behaviors probably works well enough, so leave well enough alone. Of course, what's ostracizing or boycotting if it isn't discrimination. In fact, forcing people to serve others they otherwise wouldn't, is equally as discriminating, except now your doing it at the end of a bayonet, or wasting resources defending it in a court of law. People should just grow up.

I don't like arbitrary, capricious or mean-spirirted discrimination, but I like thought crimes and social engineering even worse.
agree with you, BUT the law does not.

He's trying to take control of the state power machine to make it do what he wants. That's statist.

Regardless, I think you should use what you can to do what you think is right. I'll do the same.

IF a statist system already exists how do you remove it (or maybe degrade it) without taking control of it first?
convince enough people, that the system sucks, and anarchy is better.
at some point you would reach a point where the state falls apart, and anarchy wins.

This is part of Luke Dash Jr's latest conquest.
He had made threats in BTC-e chat, in regards to having Solidcoin taken down due to license violations and the fact that Realsolid used some of his (Dash's) code to create Solidcoin without maintaining the license.
you sure?

apperently it was a person called tekkub who sent the takedown notice.
It doesn't matter who's name is attached to the official notice.
This could have happened ages ago, but only as of late has Doosh-Jr been spouting off about it.
im seeing your faulty skills in logic.

but i do agree that dash-jr idiotic person.

I know that BTC use the same technique like torrent but it doesn't mean that I know technical side of torrents or BTC. so, I know that people get torrent file (movie file) from PC of other users of torrent or better said from those who have that movie file. but I didn't know if connection between torrent clients is made simply through home internet connection or through IRC.
as you said, client must discover other clients, therefore I thought all BTC clients use some channel of some IRC to discover other BTC clients and consequently ISP can block that IRC and block BTC connection. I just read this morning that some torrents make DHT trackers instead of http trackers.
so, I am agreed that you need some documentation for newbies about connections between BTC clients and how they discover each others and how they get blockchain, and try to avoid to use professional words which are not known to the people who are not programmers.
have you ever heard about 'research'?

We really need that "Bitcoin for dummies" manual ASAP.

do you know bittorrent? you know the protocol which you use to download movies and music?
GOOD!

bittorrent uses a tracker to bootstrap(finding other computer, downloading the same piece of data).
your bittorrent client DOES NOT download from a central server.

its the same thing with bitcoin. bitcoin is using DNS, IRC, and hardcoded-peers, to bootstrap.
these other peers, most of then have a complete blockchain, which you download from then.
and you are downloading different blocks, from different peers.
so THERE IS NO CENTRAL SERVER.
they could be replaced by a friend-to-friend network, where you know that one of your mates uses bitcoin. and you wants to, too. you ask him for his ip address, and connect to his bitcoin client. and his bitcoin client is already connected to other peers, that it tells the ip addresses, to your bitcoin client.

the only problem, with F2F networks, is that they are hard to get working, because you have to know someone that is already using bitcoin. therefor CENTRAL SERVER, are a better way to bootstrap a decentralized system, but it could work without them.

EDIT:: 5. Should all of the above fail (how on Earth would that happen?), the user can input the IP addresses manually using the -addnode parameter.
the internets is broken. DNS system down, cause fatal bug. IRC server not working.

Hi, I understand that blockchain is in fact database file of all transactions and now it is bigger than 1 GB.

no, you don't!
