heheh, ah ok gotcha! 

I, and my big youtube friend agree: the Google plus integration is utterly shit. 

Completely off topic: but outta curiosity why is it called Jewtube? I keep hearing people referring to it as that. Is it unfriendly to non-jews? My asian buddy has a big channel (330k subs) and i'm wondering if he needs a heads up.

Can't seem to get offline transactions to work.

I create the transaction in the online computer using a watch-only wallet made with the public master key, transfer the transaction input file to a USB key, connect it to my offline computer and load it into the real wallet there made from the seed. The window that pops up says the Status is unsigned and that the transaction is unrelated to my wallet. It also displays (correctly) the inputs and outputs. I click Sign and enter my password. but nothing seems to happen, it sends me back to the transaction window. I save the file to the USB key but its identical to the input file, the transaction wasn't signed.

I'm using electrum 1.9.5 portable on both computers

I swiped the file from this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=145386.0

as for what version that created it, I have no idea.

Those changes to how it gets the blockchain sound like a great idea! Take all the time you need to implement it!

Great job again!

I've been able to reproduce the error and fix the error.

When install Bitcoin-QT and reload the blockchain with bootstrap.dat the error pops up. But if i install the bitcoin-QT fresh and let it download the whole blockchain over two days, it works.

I hope this, along with the log files i sent you, help you solve problem.

Thanks again for such a great piece of software!

Sent!

Hi!

Just installed the new version (0.90) but it keeps getting stuck at the "building databases" part with "15 seconds" left.

I tried "rebuild and rescan databases" in the help menu and it builds up to 99% again but keeps getting stuck with "15 seconds" left. I left it on for a full day but it never budged, then it started giving a crapload of "bitcoin-qt disconnected" errors.

I'm using windows 8 64-bit with 32GB of ram and a 256GB SSD.

With all this tighter verification, i'm guessing fraud really hurt them bad so dividends will be delayed. 

THANKS!

and general thanks for all your hard work. You're doing a great job.

Take care.

Yesterday I requested an EFT to deposit some money since the fee was "free". While i waited i checked the fee again and today i just saw the fee jump to $30-$50. Will I be charged the new fee on my previous deposit or am I still on the old free fee until my deposit clears?

 I'll use the $5 bill payment method in future transactions.

Can i cancel the old deposit if we're going with the new fee?

I don't see how its impossible. I get foreign cheques from banks around the world and I cash them in at my bank just fine, there are some fees ofcourse but that's what i accept.

Cheques are very far from dead. Just because YOU may not use them does mean no one else does.

Google for example has paid me by cheque every month for the last five years. And i live in canada, Google sends me a US dollar cheque which i cash just fine.

It's not really about cashing the cheque, that's what the end user does, it's about creating the cheque.

What's stopping or making it difficult for MtGox to *create* those cheques and mail them out?

Unbelievable.

Is there a word for something even lower than incompetence? Whatever that word is it describes MtGox exactly.

Oh wait, MtGox created that word.

Goxxed.

Just a general question.

Is there any practical/technical/security problem with simply printing off and mailing a buttload of cheques to people that request them? Waiting a week or two for a cheque in the mail would be much more preferable to waiting... never... for a bank wire.

Is there other weird fraud that can be perpetrated with a cheque that mtgox wants to avoid? or are they just being incompetent again by not doing cheques?

I think the modifications would be at he mining software level. I don't think they would be at the pooling software level.

The miners would have to somehow run code belonging to the "entity" (i have no better name for them right now so bear with me). A way of switching between mining and entity code, preferably automatically, would be needed.

Somehow a type of bidding system needs to be set up so that Entities out bid each other for miner time. The miners would set minimum rates, and the entities would have to first outbid the current profitability of bitcoin mining, the miner's minimum rate, and then outbid each other, then their code runs.

So if bitcoin crashes then the miners switch over to getting paid for entity work. if Bitcoin becomes insanely profitable the miners switch back and the entities either raise their bids, or wait out until more miners come to push the difficulty and push down profitability.


Ofcourse some miners may prefer helping entities than making profit so they might allow code to run for less than market price.

I think i know what he's getting at.

An example:

Stock A is an extremely stable company that makes no losses, and also makes no gains ( i know no one would invest in it but it provides an example). It could be something like bottled water, which has a constant value at all times. Anyway we agree this value *never* changes, its completely constant.

BTCs however rise in value, so if you buy Stock A then its initial value in BTCs is say, 100. But as time progresses its BTC cost goes down, not because the company loses, we agree its perfectly constant, but BTC value goes up. So with enough time that company will be worth 50 BTCs..... but its *value* is still the same. It's the BTCs that have changed. So why bother investing in a company when you can just keep the BTCs? The company is a great inflation hedge, but a terrible deflation hedge.

Now lets take Stock B, Company B is a mildly profitable. But its profits do not outstrip the deflation of BTCS. So if you own 100 BTCs of Stock B, then after the same time as above, instead of being worth 50BTCs its worth 75BTCs. Its still profitable, the value *has* gone up because it is higher than constant value company A, but its still only 75BTCs. Once again... why bother investing in it when you could have just kept 100BTCs?

The only way for this to work is for Stock C, Company C is INSANELY profitable. They exclusively produce an antiaging serum and charge insane prices for it. Their stock actually goes up because profits outstrip deflation, 100 BTCs worth becomes 150 BTCs after the allotted time.

So, to answer the original poster... BTC based stocks have to outstrip the deflation rate in order for those stocks to be worthwhile. Store of value stocks, like Stock A, or mildly profitable stocks, like Stock B, are not worthwhile investments in a deflationary currency scenario. Both stocks however are worthwhile in an inflationary currency scenario.

If however BTCs become very stable, then the deflation rate might be low enough that its relatively easy to outrun deflation. I'm not sure if this will happen with bitcoin in particular though.

Yeah, i saw that too. I wonder if its a glitch.

So if i register an account, connect the miner program and receive work, but submit no shares or submit bad shares, i've contributed a lot of time, but performed no useful work. I still get paid proportionally for the time contributed?

AWESOME! Sign me up!!!

So if i just register an account with this pool, but contribute 0 computing power, i get an even division of the earnings with all the other participants?

AWESOME! sign me up for this pool!
