Again, I dont understand - how can Gavin change anything, other than what a new release
of a client does -
If I continue to use an older client , why / how would my small transactions be blocked ??

Right -

So why does this thread exist ? - Why are there so many posts regarding boycotting
a version ? - Does G.Andresen have some special ability to force the bitcoin network
to adhere to this or that or as mentioned recently no longer allowing very small
transactions.  If I'm using version 0.8.0 can I still make very small transactions ??
or is there some central server which has a global config file that all p2p connections
read and thus now prevent these mentioned small transactions ?

Hi,

I don't understand why this is an issue -

If ver 0.8.2 is a problem, why not use 0.8.1 ?

Or someone recompile the 0.8.2 source with the changes you want/dont want ..

As far as I can see, no one has a central authority to decide anything on bitcoin.

The p2p network continues to work regardless of version ..

or am I wrong ?

Something like reuters trading screen

Unfortunately, it's only windows based - would love to convert
to mac if anyone knows a painless way to do this

calling getinfo will return the number of blocks my bitcoind has
knowledge of/processed/indexed , - however is there a way of knowing
how many blocks it needs to know of to be in sync ?

At present I manually check the number of blocks returned by getinfo
with what blockexplorer.com shows

 I've finally accepted that creating a new address for each
transaction is kind of a good idea..
 
 Am I correct in thinking - that for each customer that comes to my shop
I generate/give to them a unique bitcoin address , so that I know that
if the address in question receives money , then it's surely from the
person I gave the address to..

 This is fine, - but that could end being hundreds or even thousands of
addresses being generated everyday..

 I understand that generating a new address is not a big deal, but the
housekeeping of my bitcoin server becomes an issue..

 How can I delete addresses from the database when I am done with them
( for example, once an address receives coins, I make a note of it in my
mysql for example, and 'move' the coins to one central internal bitcoin address).

If I have thousands of addresses/accounts , anytime I do a listaccounts or
getbalance I'm going to get a really long list..

 So , that's my query - can I delete bitcoin addresses and/or accounts from
bitcoind to keep everything running smooth..

yes, getrawmempool lists the transactions in bitcoind's memory, - but that
still doesnt help - the transactions are in alphabetical order not as they are
received --

how can i get bitcoind to give them to me, in the order it got them ?

I'm trying to write a program to display the latest transactions on the bitcoin
network as they happen..

I call getinfo to get the block count , and then I call getblockhash with this
number, and then call getblock with the hash..

However, I can only get information on completed blocks.

How do services like https://blockchain.info/ get the latest transactions
for incomplete blocks ?

Is it true that you can't tell for sure which bitcoin address
 sent you coins ?
 
 I asked about this when trying to understand how satoshi dice
 paid you your winnings to the bitcoin address you made your bet
 with.
 
 After some pondering and getting some help from this site, I'd
 like to ask this..
 
 Do sites like satoshi dice determine which address was used to
 send money, by generating a brand new bitcoin address which
 is displayed to the gambler to send coins to ?
 
 I don't think so - because satoshi dice use vanity addresses,
 and I would think it would be too difficult to generate this
 many of them..
 
 So the problem/question still remains - how do sites like satoshi
 dice, know who sent them coins ?
 

Is the following format json correct ?

I'm sending it over http post over a socket

{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"rqid547333300","method": "createrawtransaction", "params": [{"txid":"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx","vout":0}] {"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx":0.00500000}}:

I'm missing a quote somewhere I think -

thanks for any help

 Hi,

 Will calling 'listtransactions '*'' list the last transactions by accounts on my
server -

 Is there a way to view all transactions on the bitcoin network - rather than
just my users ?

Not sure what you mean by entity -

I don't want to know who the actual sender is ( i.e name, or location ) -

just want to know the bitcoin address they sent from , - so I know
who sent me what , when and for how much -

 I notice most people have a signature on this forum with
a bitcoin address for donations -

 How would one know , who sent the donation ?

 I see this question has been asked before -

What I'd like to know, is how does the site 'satoshi dice' determine ( and quickly ),
what your address is , so that it can pay you if you win ?

Hi,

Simple enough question -

Is there a way to determine who sent me some money - can I find which bitcoin address was
the sender ?

MK

Thanks

why is that ?

When I say capable. I mean we both have high end dedicated servers..

Unfortunately, it's a lot more than I need ( an in Java ) --

if anything I want a more stripped down version of bitcoind - everything
except the key store and user managment

Great,,

this looks like what I want -

Is this your service/project ?

 Hello,

 If someone could help with this question, I would be very appreciative.

I'm running bitcoinD on a windows dedicated server, but am finding the
internal database engine that comes with bitcoind to be unsuitable for
my needs.

 Is there a way to use an external database , for example redis - to
hold all my users private_key, and bitcoin addresses..

 And if so, how can I use this , with bitcoinD..

I know how to::

sendfrom account bitcoinaddress amount

But ofcourse, this relies on 'account' which I don't want -

Thanks in advance

Ok good point -

Let's say my friend has a bitcoind server and I have a bitcoind server,
each with our respective userbase..

My friend, no longer wants to be involved in the bitcoin business, and
wants to transfer his userbase to me ..

Assuming he has 1000 users, how would I transfer them to my server ?
