You should create a wrapper for Level DB calls to the VSAM KSDS library and do some benchmarks.

First time I built the db I thought it was hung a couple of time, too. But it really wasn't, just taking very long.

I ended up using a db download.

I built a DB (1000 limit) from scratch back in April - it took 5 weeks Roll Eyes

Much better to DL one Grin

2 days and I'm at block 170k
Everytime I download it fails the md5 check.

So now I'm in the process of rebuilding the server's db because apparently mine was incorrect, it was giving the wrong hash.

But the server hangs during block import every few blocks and I have to kill and restart it.

I believe I am correctly running a public Electrum node at btc.mustyoshi.com:50001

You server doesn't seem to be connected on IRC... So no, you're not correctly running a public Electrum node

How do I fix that? I thought I had the config file setup right.
EDIT: So apparently report_host can't be the same as host.

I don't want to block the coins, I want to watch the US government make the terrible mistake of trading precious BTC for worthless fiat this early in the fiat->crypto transition, so we can all later laugh at them for their folly.

I want the clever folks who buy these coins to make out like bandits at the FBI's expense. This will be a "stupid government" joke for the rest of history.

Sometimes 50$ today is worth more than 500$ in a year.

The blockchain is neutral. It is up to payment accepters to filter out Bitcoins.

There would be 2 forks, and most likely, the majority would stay on the orriginal chain

There's two types of Bitcoin users.

Those who want to get rich from it (anti inflation).
And those who want it to be a frictionless way to transact (neutral/pro inflation).

Have any been created that are open source?

How do we know this isn't just a clever way to sell a server farm? I'd like to see blockchain embedded proof that these users' GPUs are actually the ones mining these blocks.

Primecoin or Riecoin, because the PoW is the least useless of the bunch.

Sometimes there are request limits.

These limits are probably not with the intention to prevent HFT, but to prevent server load.

IIRC Atlas is going to open crypto to institutional HFT.

Why would it matter if two blocks have the same hash? Is there something that I'm not aware of in the protocol that depends on blocks having a unique hash?

Isn't the block database indexed by blockhash?

The chain could still function if it was traversed linearly as then the previous block would also be relevant.

Would the profitability of it change?

His business practices are annoying at times, but I don't think he's scammed any of us.

What would be the practical applications of such an interesting transaction?

Like, I create a transaction that can be redeemed by either myself or you? I could even see a thing where you release such a transaction, and an nlocked one for the 2nd next block that spends it back to yourself in a 1 of 1 tx?

EDIT: Idk why I didn't just post in that other thread about this.

uminatsu, push it to Eligius.

mustyoshi, you shouldn't get banned for relaying non-standard transactions. If you are, that's a bug.

I don't think I've been banned yet, but I do think that relaying any valid tx is important for network health, so I want to make sure I don't relay just the standard txs.

Other than the part that directly checks for less than four multisigs in a tx, how do I ensure that I will relay nonstandard (but valid) transactions without getting banned from other nodes?

I want to see time-quantized trading, so I am certain I have no unfair disadvantage against bots with low latency connections.

How do you mean? How do you expect this to be done in a non exploitable way?
