1282  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: bitcoin client that doesnt use so much bandwidth? on: March 11, 2013, 01:03:26 AM
Now that MultiBit has bloom filtering it really reduces the amount of bandwidth used.

It will only download the transactions relevant to your wallet - my network usage when I am syncing is only about 100 KB/s at 100 blocks a second.

Well, I've used nethogs to check bandwidth spendings of bitcoin-qt and multibit yesterday, and your client spends more bandwidth than bitcoin-qt in normal usage. Like 5x more. And yes, I have way way more than 8 connections on bitcoin-qt.
Also it's buggy and 30% of times it doesn't see incoming transactions without reseting the blockchain.

It may be good not to scare newbies with the blockchain download time, but I won't recommend it to any newbie because of the incoming transactions bug.

Okay, let's be honest, how many of us browse the forum drunk at least once a month?

I almost bought €5000 worth of bitcoins in early 2011 when I was drunk. Fuck... not drunk enough Sad


OH. damn...

Yes, but don't keep only 1 backup if you don't want to find out it's corrupted when you need it.
And test your backups to be sure they are good before storing them. By that I mean, try to restore your wallet from them before storing several of them so you know they work.

But yes, if you keep them encrypted even if they steal one of the HDD's where you're storing the backup they won't have access to the coins as long as you keep the encryption password safe.

When companies are honest it doesn't matter if the other party is 14 years old or not.
They just pay what they win.

Fact: I know 14 y.o. "kids" who make more in 1 month doing affiliate marketing than their parents do in the entire year working in their jobs. And the marketing networks pay them what they owe them, they don't come saying that contracts with 14 y.o. "kids" aren't enforceable, so cut the crap with his age.

It is even more hacked now, trololooo.

And yes Psy, I was a dumbass to go there.

For what I know the guy who posted the IP address could have been the one who hacked it and has some exploit there to try and steal wallets from computers.

No, I don't believe it was him who hacked it, but you can never be too careful with this stuff

A european warehouse would be nice indeed 24% vat in my neck of the woods.

An European warehouse would not solve the 24% VAT problem, in fact it would only guarantee that you pay it.
Ordering from the US maybe you still have the chance of it not being stopped by customs and not charged with VAT.
Maybe in your country nothing enters without going trough customs, but where I live 70% of the time I order something from the US it comes straight to my house with no customs payments whatsoever because it didn't even stopped there.
But, I'm not ordering from them because the shipping cost is very expensive and makes the prices almost the same as the prices of a regular european store with shipping and VAT included. Now with the added risk of it stopping in customs and me being charged 23% VAT on the merchandise+shipping, well, you see it's not worth it at all, and you must be in the same situation as me.

How's about XCC for Crypto-Currency, eh?

So, all crypto-currencies would share that code?

1293  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think SatoshiDice is blockchain spam? Drop their TX's - Solution inside on: March 10, 2013, 04:50:48 PM
When more miners refuse to mine and nodes refuse to reply SD TX, SD is exposed to much higher risk of different types of double spend attacks, and eventually has to stop accepting 0-confirmation TXs.  Grin

They already stopped sending 1 satoshi tx's, so to the ones who say the patches don't work, there's your answer.

They will not change the way they do things if they don't feel the pressure.
I bet Erik prefers to spend his half million dollars of SD profits travelling around the world, etc. but maybe he should spend at least $10k of it to improve the way his service uses the resources that belong to all of us and not just to SD.
1294  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: blockchain.info down?? on: March 10, 2013, 03:38:11 AM
So if someone sends me BTC without blockchain being up will I still receive BTC to the address with blockchain.info?

Yes.

*Wipes forehead in relief.*

It'll just pop in your account when the site gets back online/their blockchain catches up with the transactions if it was lagged.

who owns blockchain.info?

Qkos Services LTD.
Kind of hard not to notice the name on the green SSL bar.

1- You don't know why I put the money there

There is no clever reason to do so.

2- You don't know how much I put in there

Any amount is too much.

3- You don't know how much I withdrawn

Even if you withdrew money, it doesn't make it a wise decision.

4- You don't even know if I lost a single satoshi with it

Even if you were fortunate enough to gain money, it would still have been a stupid risk.

5- You don't know me, how I live, where I live, what I do for a living or how much I earn

I have a few £50 notes in my wallet now. I could take them out, set them on fire, and I'd never feel the difference or miss the money. It would still be a completely stupid thing to do, would it not?

I can't say a decision is stupid when I have no data whatsoever on why the decision was made, and you shouldn't also.
I don't know why you are burning the bills, so maybe it isn't stupid after all.
Things aren't as black and white as you want them to be.
1298  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Eurocrats are considering to ban Internet pr0n on: March 10, 2013, 01:33:28 AM
Is NSFW some police code similar to LAPD or NYPD? OK just kidding. I don't care. I remember myself as a kid and I always wondered why my parents were so negative about nudity in movies and sexual themes. Probably your kids also don't care as much as You about some random pics on your computer screen.

When You hack computers, do Your kids also watch?

Not a hacker, so, no, they don't watch.
And if the children were mine I wouldn't mind. I only have a son and he's already 10 y.o.. Old enough to play with his weenie and see naked chicks. He lives with his mom 200KM away so it's not a problem.
But unfortunately these are not my children and they are younger than my son. I'm mostly avoiding the unconfortable questions that will come if they see this type of stuff.

Oh, and the NSFW still applies, as I work from home.

Look, I don't really care about the pic and it was funny, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who prefers not to have porn on his screen without notice.
1299  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should the bitcoin community ban the Satoshi Dice filter patch? on: March 10, 2013, 01:24:21 AM
Look,  other than being a satoshidice shareholder,  I'm completely neutral here.  I can't tell the bitcoin police how to do their job any more than they can tell me to shut my mouth.  I'm a citizen, I pay my taxes, and I deserve a little bit more respect than you are giving me.  I voted to outlaw the ban on satoshi dice. What's the problem?

"Other than being..."  this made me LOL.   There are NO bitcoin police - talking about bans here is just absurd.  Some miners may choose not to relay SD transactions - if enough of them do so SD will likely have to transform their business practices.  This is a free market = good.  "Banning the ban" makes me wonder if you understand the bitcoin protocol at all honestly - and this 'little bit more respect you deserve'  meh - prove it.

I think he meant "some fucking respect", à lá Patrick Stratteman.
