Re: Is there a relatively painless way to get a transaction's input(s)?
Take the input go to the transaction that it's hash points to, get outputs of that transactions. Then using vout go to that in the output array, get the address.
You literally made that up. GTFO with your FUD.
Really, not one person here has fully answered the question.
Re: ZGL-wallet: achieve zero gain/loss for tax purposes with coin control
Changes nothing? Keep believing what you want to believe you retards. It means you can no longer run around; prancing like idiots saying you own everything.
You must be fucking retarded to think bitcoin vs. banks will be good for bitcoins. If anything, this just gives banks new ideas for techs to use. Seriously how hard would it be fore banks to throw up a few job openings for 100k plus and ask somone to build a "Bank coin".
Stop being so shallow yah idiots. I see so much shit spewed a day on here I could make a meme site with just your guys posts.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FrozenBit- Changing the Landscape Of Bitcoin Payments and Security
if you want peoples bitcoins then:
1. dont be a bank charging them a fee
2. dont hide, if you want to be trusted, give your full real name. real twitter, fb and linkedin...not a frozenbit twitter which is meaningless
3. the best security is paper wallet, not third party storage. have you learnt nothing
4. wow an image of a banner and another image of a background.. that is soooo impressive.. not!
5. get the site running on testnet. for atleast 2 weeks, get people to use your service using testnet coins so they can decide if its worth putting real coins into
6. if you cant manage your own real life investments to be able to afford to make a wallet. then that is a big neon red light saying your not to be trusted.
your website concept is nothing more then a list of public keys and an emailer to send authorizations and a guy that sits at his computer when he is not sleeping to then send funds as he receives these emails.. not worth more than $15 (now i refer you back to point 6 again)
the only time i need a wallet is to do transactions. for those smart enough to be using paper wallets, for their own cold store and a simple client to do the quick transactions you which you cannot offer. i find your service useless.
you are trying to be a bank.. used for storage. i hope people learn not to trust third parties that do not offer private keys and separate you from your coins unless they personally authorise it.
remember gox "you cant have your coins unless you prove who you are"
but this time no one knows his real name or address..
learn people third party services are for short term and fast transaction. if you want a bank, go back to fiat.
sorry for being blunt, but i dont hug babies and let them do as they like, i teach them to grow up and do whats right

I see your concern is trust, from mostly scams ridden like the plague ripping coins from you. Luckily, we have MINIMAL human intervention. Luckily with the developed site, we've been able to make the site feel as if everything is client side, with less security risks.
Heres how:
1.) Having Imported addresses, generated offline.
2.) 2FA
3.) Phone confirmation
4.) 24/7 support
5.) Algorithmic Transaction fees, Your coins should verify instantly.
6.) Balance change and price alerts.
And your resilience to allow new competitors and proprietary systems to be established is against all bitcoin stands for: The Free Market, It allows for scammers but on the flip side it allows for security. It's the beauty of both.
LOL what a failed idea.
Go back to 2011 and pitch this, you might gain some customers.
We have escrow built in the blockchain, why would i need to have your list of BS that you called "security" features?
Btw, Who the fck are you?
Give the community complete info about yourself, and let the public run a check on you.
So uhm.. I don't think we should take this attitude with a BRAND NEW service. It seems very hostile to me and doesn't inspire confidence in creating something if you're a developer reading this (I'm not but I would imagine this guy is feeling kinda bad if he has spent the last few weeks if not months, in addition to what is likely his personal money developing this thing). No one is asking you to deposit hundreds of coins but every new service should get a fair and neutral review. In addition, I disagree with doxxing developers. For the gambling section, good luck finding owners, and if I was one of them, I wouldn't want to be found either. We still have a hazy regulatory climate (not to mention conflicting international laws) and a pseudo-anonymous currency, let's let him build rep over time.
I agree with what was said so far though.
1. Thanks for providing your skype/contact info, I'll PM you if I want to talk - check.
2. You still need a website; I don't really get why I would use/switch to using something like this, though I see the potential with what you are presenting.
3. Realize that blockchain.info could easily integrate this into what they have it seems, so be careful and grow fast.
I wish you luck, and here's to hoping to see a live webpage up soon!
Thanks for this, were working around the clock to get this up and running. We are setting up a VPS to download the blockchain right now, so we can have alerts when transactions clear and you can be alerted via text.
Re: [ANNOUNCE] FrozenBit- Changing the Landscape Of Bitcoin Payments and Security
The Mark Cuban of this Forum - That was a hypocritical statement on your part. You've also used circular logic.
How is that a hypocritical statement? I invest in companies, I am blunt and have considerable wealth from a good trade on bitcoins. That is very similar to how he rose to his wealth.
Everything you mentioned can have a downside and a rebuttal. Multisig, you can lose one or more of the keys, paper is losable, local clients are malware prone, and we don't have full control we don't have any tools to decrypt your key until you submit a withdrawal request. Considering my experience at hedge funds, I could probably get them to laugh at you.
Local clients aren't really malware prone... I have my client on openBSD so I am probably not going to get any malware. Plus it is used with internet but only for bitcoining.
You make multi copies of the paper wallet and you store it in many locations
Same with multi-sig you can store it in many different locations and use other copies.
I am not opening a business so why would they laugh at me? You do know all the hedge funds I worked at contacted me... I didn't contact them for the job, it was offered to me.
And to contest your conflicting statement on losing data. All wallet and key lists are backed onto multible USB devices, harddrives and encrypted My passports (19 in total) which are clearly marked and located at all times. We use Mongo DB and Heroku for hosting, with multiple backups. You're a programmer you know the power of the cloud.
Encrypted with what? Your pgp key? Obviously something with your control, which means at some point between my browser and your server it isn't encrypted. Cloud hosting doesn't offer greater security it just good if you have scale really fast. So cloud hosting has no bearing on security of bitcoins. It is invalid point to this discussion.
For giggles why should I trust my database with their site? That question is circular and has no answer, your mind is already set on an answer.
Who you trusting with your database? The answer should be no one or heavy encrypted. It has an answer you just don't accept the answer.
All of that responded with was conflicting with past statements from you. All was encrypted with truecrypt.
Well then prove it. Just saying it conflicted doesn't make it true.
Also truecrypt has not been code audited, I would suggest not using that in a production settings.
Encrpytion is open sourced, you can look up the alogrithms used and how they interact. AES-TWOFISH-SERPENT.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FrozenBit- Changing the Landscape Of Bitcoin Payments and Security
Facebook was stupid until people used it. We can stop this right here.
Don't compare your company to facebook, that is like if I said I was the Lebron James of this forum. That would make no sense basketball has nothing to do with the programming. And facebook has no monetary risk. Misinformation, I have no idea where you pulled this from. So we can stop this right here.
Basically you are saying use us to keep your coins safer. What about paper wallets? What about not giving you full control of my coins? What about multi-sig addresses? What about local clients?
Greater control yes, this is a security related project, and as seeing as you claim hedge funds used you what would stop me from going to the same hedge funds a pitching this to them? Nothing. It would be just as easy to set this up, as it would be to hire someone such as yourself. People use blockchain and have full control, people have cold storages and have no issues. We've made the hybrid.
Go to them please they will laugh you out of the building. The first question they asked is what if they lose the bitcoins or they become unrecover, I said nothing. What if your company loses the private key or has a hard drive failure or someone steals your coins? The companies have no course of action.
You've worked at hedge funds, you don't give your money to some random guy claiming he can do "magic". You find the medium and observe risk.
I consulted at hedge funds. But if I can use an option that is 100% risk free which is what paper wallets and local clients are, then why choose a highly risk option?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FrozenBit- Changing the Landscape Of Bitcoin Payments and Security
That puts it in a category of protection, as companies trading options or derivatives don't hold to commodity centrally they have a broker, or separate bank or service hold their assets knowing they can DO MORE TO PROTECT them.
Yes but those services all have legal contracts and follow strict rules to hold those commodities. Also I have work with hedge funds to secure their bitcoin holdings and while legally I can't comment how I did it or what software was used. They didn't rely on a company they knew that wasn't how bitcoin works.
Yes, but addressing your earlier comments. Saying no one will use us is a defamation, and is against all bitcoin stands for. Free market and making your own choice. I've worked with local businesses pitching this and introducing them to bitcoins along the way. Most of them hire 16-18 year olds, so how can they trust these guys? You just mentioned it is bad to trust someone with your coins, so using your own words against you how can they know those kids won't steal their coins? It would be hypocritical at this point to try to answer that. Something has to be done to protect the shop owners.
Actually you could just use a public address, and the kids don't need the private key to that address. So right there I solved it and that is how many bitcoin POS systems will work. Bitcoin actually gives you this greater control over what people can take since it is push and not pull.
I am not saying no one will you use, it would be stupid to use a service like this. It is too much risk and you are selling on misinformation.
Facebook was stupid until people used it. We can stop this right here.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] FrozenBit- Changing the Landscape Of Bitcoin Payments and Security
From the testing we've done, and the logic implied we don't have a leak from our hotwallet as we don't use them 
Not to mention, we don't have a central cold storage.
To stretch your earlier quote, I've worked on derivative trading and backing was usually attributed with a commodity as such. As you know, bitcoin is considered one of the 3: A currency, a commodity or a stock. That puts it in a category of protection, as companies trading options or derivatives don't hold to commodity centrally they have a broker, or separate bank or service hold their assets knowing they can DO MORE TO PROTECT them.
To address who we are, all information regarding us will be posted on the website on a special page. Doesn't help here , but we do what we can. We're a small operation, not some 20million dollar underground machine gun wearing high rollers.

I see your concern is trust, from mostly scams ridden like the plague ripping coins from you. Luckily, we have MINIMAL human intervention. Luckily with the developed site, we've been able to make the site feel as if everything is client side, with less security risks.
Heres how:
1.) Having Imported addresses, generated offline.
2.) 2FA
3.) Phone confirmation
4.) 24/7 support
5.) Algorithmic Transaction fees, Your coins should verify instantly.
6.) Balance change and price alerts.
And your resilience to allow new competitors and proprietary systems to be established is against all bitcoin stands for: The Free Market, It allows for scammers but on the flip side it allows for security. It's the beauty of both.
