Bitcoin client is still saying out of sync but I'm pretty sure blockchain is done downloading.  That's what I don't get.  I can find the transaction, see my bitcoins sitting there, but they're not in my wallet.

Nope. If it's saying out of sync then the client is sure the blockchain isn't fully downloaded, or do you think you know about it better than the client and the network? lol
It may have happened that it hanged. But if it did your only way out is to delete the blockchain files and start over.
How many connections to the network does it have? How many blocks did it download?
Just hover your mouse pointer above the icons on the bottom right corner and it will tell you what I just asked.

Is your bitcoin client still saying (out of sync) everywhere?
If it is saying it you need to wait for the blockchain to finish downloading and then you'll see your coins.

Do you guys realize that if you just read the rules you had to agree with(by marking a checkbox) when you registered you wouldn't need a fucking guide? Roll Eyes

I'm sure people who use this got the email last night, but since it wasn't mentioned on here,

Quote
Dear User,

We regret to inform you that GPUMAX will be permanently closing on
October 31st, 2012.

While we strongly believe in Bitcoin's continued success, our vision
has always been to provide our users with the greatest opportunities
to utilize their GPU processing power. Creating a mining marketplace
was meant to be the first of many such opportunities, however, due to
the events of recent months, we feel that the best course of action is
to cease all operations.

Thank you for participating in our beta.

Regards,

The GPUMAX Team

That email came from gpumax.co, not gpumax.com lol
I would say it's a fake to try and get people to ditch gpumax and join that hashpower.com site.

Clearly not everyone in the network can do this, as that would mean new nodes cannot bootstrap anymore.

What will prevent it? If the changes r good then everyone will use new approach.

Why do people today run a full node like Bitcoind or Bitcoin-Qt when they could run an SPV node like MultiBit or not a node at all, like webwallets or Electrum?


I can proudly say that I run a full node and will always run one, even if I have to lease a dedicated server in a datacenter for it, just in case my domestic connection can't keep up anymore. I guess that before leasing a server I will need to have a separate computer running one at home, even if I'll need to run a light client on my laptop to spend and receive bitcoins.
I don't mine and most likely never will, so, it's the only way I can contribute to the network.

Did prostitution come before communication? Or the other way around?

Communication should've existed first, or else how would men ask for the price? lol

Think I will add this information to what my attorney general has already got..... He did refund my money but it was only cause I got the Gov involved.

You're lucky. Their official policy is pre-orders are "non-refundable".

No luck involved.  Email office@butterflylabs.com and we will happily refund your order at any time.  It's always been that way.

We've had, hmm, 6 order cancellations in the past 3 months.  Each time, the person emailed and we cancelled the order and refunded the money immediately.  BitcoinINV never once asked for a refund.


If that is truly your policy, why does your website state otherwise?

I would say it's a "Cover Your Ass" policy.

I expect Goatse's next big performance will be the perp walk into Federal court to answer for his crimes... he's that kind of showboating whack job, that he would think somebody cares. And then he'll use his limited phone privileges to keep everybody updated. Expect threads like "I'm a Goat, and I'm Everybody's Bitch in the Showers".

lol. Will it be livestreamed ?

Pervert. Lips sealed

Forget legal council. Laws change on a whim if you haven't noticed. Voluntary trade is under attack. We need to quit asking for permission to do business. We can do that on Tor.
I think Tormail is a good example to follow. They have their main servers hidden somewhere, and the public-facing website at tormail.org is a vps that's running nothing more than a Tor node and a copy of socat.

+1. This is also now basically the architecture that The Pirate Bay uses:

(...snip...)

Agreed here on all counts. I'm in the bidding myself for Bitmit. Sure, I'll run it with as much jurisdictional diversity and back-end hiding as possible, and screw the lawyers anyway. I'm *also* willing to be the public figurehead who takes the legal blame if things go sour. "Stateless ex-American Anarchist on Trial in Europe for Running Unregulated Financial Service" just sounds too cool.

Nefario could learn something with you ;-)

Only way is to dump the wallet contents using pywallet and importing it to a new unencrypted wallet.

I think people who said they did it wrong aren't expecting them to revise the paper, just to let them know that their research is flawed and will always be.
[sarcasm]Let's all stop doing any research then.[/sarcasm]
We shouldn't take the research for more than what it is, but we want "what it is" to be as good as possible.

Heck, they can't even be sure they got the real blockchain instead of a fake one fed to them by whatever site they scraped it from.
They used blockexplorer.com; I don't think discrepancy between their data and the true blockchain is a problem in practice; and this is off-topic for this thread.

How do you or they know theymos didn't fed dummy data to those pesky IP's that were consuming his server resources? Also, for the last months I've seen many times blockexplorer.com not being able to open certain pages, so it's not that far fetched to think it may have happened.
How did they validated the data they scraped?
I see this(data validation) as their real flaw, and one most people seem not to care about, much to my surprise.

The other flaws aren't flaws per se, only limitations because of the way the bitcoin protocol works.
Yes, they made some wrong assumptions, but I don't think they'll find a better method.
It seems all the emails they got was only pointing their "flaws/wrong assumptions". Not one of those persons offered them a solution. Maybe because there is no better solution and you can only go so far on analysing the blockchain.

What would be the best way to measure how many coins are in long-term savings, as opposed to being actively circulated?

And in the case of deleted wallets? What will those coins be considered?

Here's a basic log of the last 14 days of deletions:
https://bitcointalk.org/modlog.php

Wow ... I had no idea there was so much crap that needed to be culled from the forum.  I'ld like to take this opportunity to express to the mods my gratitude for taking on this task!


And you're not seeing the ones that get moved to the Trashcan instead of deleted.
