The Streamium guys are doing something like what you are talking about.  Not bittorrent but close.

Sorry, misread, as others have pointed out, storj or madesafe is what you are after.

Feel free to use your wife instead .

A multisig address will protect your from the "$5 wrench" attack.  If you use a 2 of 3 multisig address you keep one yourself, give one to you mom and then put a third in a safety deposit box.

That way if you die your mom can get the safety deposit box and access your coins, you can still access your coins without your mom by going to your safety deposit box or you can just send a transaction to you mom for approval (because, yeah, you mom always needs to approve your spending anyway ).

Unearthed?  Who buried him?

I very much doubt it.  No self respecting exchange would continue to use an address like that, it is almost the perfect example of what not to do.

What godawful wallet are you using that abuses an address like that?

How would anyone know, we cannot see his wallets.

And the problem with that is?

Ahhhhhh, I saw that and thought "What the hell has Jeff done?".

affordableweb mis-reading makes a hell of a lot more sense.  Happens to us all on occasion.

Someone gave me a ridiculously high amount for them.

I would then go buy them back (and more).

In all fairness though, I would probably do my best to talk them out of it first.

I am just about peeing myself, google translate to the win!



And my absolute favorite;-

If only, OP_RETURN only takes 40 bytes.  So if you made a smallish transaction it would be 10% of it.  So something like 50 MB to do it.

If you did it 3 times a day you have consumed the more than entire block bandwidth.

It is basically free, just at tiny amount of satochi's for the people encoding.  For everyone else I would not even know how to begin to count the cost.

Actual, there is.  Enough of this shit goes on and OP_RETURN gets removed.  You file is gone along with whatever you paid.

This is in effect just removing the blocksize altogether.  It can just grow to whatever size it wants.

No other comment, I fence sit & go back and forth.

You should find a debug.log in one of these directories (I googled them, I don't have a windows bitcoind install);-

C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application data\Bitcoin (XP)

C:\Users\YourUserName\Appdata\Roaming\Bitcoin (Vista and 7)

You can look in there for errors.

Just because I am curious, search for "ReadBlockFromDisk : Deserialize or I/O error - ReadCompactSize() : size too large" there is a thread going on at github about an odd issue that may or may not be a bug. (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/5668)

EDIT: And Hazir probably has a good idea .

That page did not exist in 2011 when the question was asked.

That is actually far from the truth, paypal are taking bitcoin very seriously and are already making move to integrate it;-

OP Subject: Why PayPal and Bitcoin should partner up.

Picture in my mind: PayPal CEO picking up the phone and asking his secretary for bitcoin's phone number.

Isn't that a region?
