Re: Sent bitcoins, closed buggy client, coins never sent / unconfirmed
nevermind, it looks like it is now starting to get confirmations. 
so I guess you shouldn't send BTC and immediately close the client or it might never start getting confirmed..?

Sent bitcoins, closed buggy client, coins never sent / unconfirmed
So I had some BTC on an older Windows computer with an old version of the BTC client, 0.3.x. It was crashing on me after a minute or so of being open, and I kept restarting it and finally sent all my BTC to an address of a wallet I had stored on another computer
I closed the bitcoin client that was buggy/crashing on me right after sending the coins. I backed up the wallet.dat and moved it to a computer with a working (latest) version of the bitcoin client. It was fully synced up with the blockchain before overwriting the wallet.dat. When I launched the client it showed my transaction in the tx list but it was 0/confirmed, and still is (this is about a week after sending the coins). The balance is 0 so the coins are out there 'in limbo' and blockchain.info doensn't have any record of the transaction and they never arrived at the destination
what do?

I am now seeing faster response times from bitcoind. It might have been a temporary problem. It still uses significantly more RAM and cpu than the old versions. And I've never liked how much disk I/O bitcoin uses. I'm wondering if I should setup bitcoind to run on a ramfs of some sort for better performance/reduced disk I/O (and be sure to mirror it frequently to disk in case of power loss)
also looking into the JSON RPC API, thanks

I was running bitcoind 0.3.x and 0.4.x on a freebsd virtual server and it ran pretty well. It was compiled from source from the freebsd ports tree. I now am trying to use bitcoind 64bit binary downloaded from bitcoin.org on a CentOS 6 virtual server, and it seems to use a lot more memory and cpu than the older version I was using. Also, "bitcoind getinfo" will lag over 30 seconds sometimes before responding. When it finally responds, subsequent getinfo calls return quickly, but if you wait a while it hangs again.
Also my app which communicates to bitcoind via rpc to make new payment addresses and such will also have very slow response at times, and if the delay goes over 30 seconds my load balancer gives up and it screws up the transaction (unfortunately I can't increase the timeout on the load balancer)
should I try getting the latest bitcoind compiled from source to see if the performance is better than the provided binary? Is there some other trick I'm missing regarding why this is happening?

Re: [ANN] AurumXchange - MtGox to LR/Wire/Mastercard fees DRASTICALLY reduced!
I am trying to deposit Mt Gox code to Aurumxchange but it won't let me, it says the maximum I can deposit with a Mt. gox code is negative 600-something dollars.

I might be interested in buying one of your custom leather wallets, but first I'd like to know your full name, address, phone number, criminal background check, social security number, employment history, credit report, medical records, fingerprints, DNA sample and stool sample

Silver or Gold coins would trigger attention from governements and can not be freely traded, especially gold is not allowed these days
Really? What country has banned gold?well the US made private ownership of gold illegal for many years, however now it is perfectly legal. You are only allowed to carry $10,000 worth of precious metals across the border without declaring it though.
pretty cool. Any possibility of minting one in .999 Fine Silver? Of course it would cost the value of the silver plus the embedded bitcoins, but I'd buy one in pure silver for sure
Should you trust Bitcoin E-wallets?

How do "normal people" scan these QR codes into their computer? I keep seeing requests for QR codes, for example, many people would prefer these over printed numbers for bitcoin private keys on my coins. But I don't understand how they're any easier than typing them.
Sure, everyone's got a smartphone that can read them. But unless they're going to somehow use their cell phone to do the import, they're going to have to just type them in anyway.
Is there a popular QR code reader for webcams that everyone is using but that I just don't know about? If you had a private key in the form of a QR code, how would you get that code into your computer without having to type it?
I paid $400 for a handheld laser reader (USB), and of course it makes QR codes very convenient, but somehow I highly doubt this is what most people are doing.

Re: Are you struggling for passwords for wallet encryption ?
The idea of padding for increased security is laughable. Another GRC classic.
forgive my ignorance but it seems like you are saying a password like this :
p@$$w0rd
is more secure than this :
p@$$w0rd+8%($1)5B,1
can you explain how that is even possible?
You dun GOOF'D
