Hi we already had this discussion early on Telegram.
You need new rpcauth method!


https://github.com/digibyte/digibyte/tree/6.14.0/share/rpcuser


And how to generate an RPC user login in Windows? Because I can't run Python programs in Windows 7 (can I?).

Also, is that user ID generated randomly or is it derived from something in my system?

2.Imagina as taxas que seriam gastas com transferências entre bancos diferentes... A satisfação do cliente é importante mas não da pra quebrar a empresa pensando nisso.

O Mercado Bitcoin cobra sobre os saques as tarifas de R$ 2,90 mais 1,99% do valor do saque. Assim, considerando um saque baixo de, digamos, R$ 200, o cliente pagaria em tarifas R$ 6,88. O custo de um DOC está entre R$ 8 e R$ 8,50, dependendo do banco. Não vejo como arcar com esta despesa "quebraria a empresa" - neste exemplo, o custo dos DOC's menos as tarifas cobradas pelo MB seria inferior a R$ 2. Além disso, nenhuma pessoa física ou jurídica com boa movimentação em um banco paga estas tarifas para emitir DOC's, sempre há descontos bem significativos.

Quanto ao cliente, se a satisfação dele não é importante o bastante, o direito dele enquanto consumidor é, e se a empresa tiver que arcar com os custos de advogados para se defender em cada eventual ação judicial (que é gratuita para o cliente em um Juizado Especial Cível), aí sim a despesa seria significativa. Além do que, segundo a legislação vigente, independentemente do que conste em quaisquer contratos com quaisquer empresas, o foro para a demanda é sempre o do domicílio do consumidor, ou em outras palavras, a empresa teria que enviar representantes legais para as comarcas onde cada consumidor propôs a sua ação ou estas serão julgadas à revelia da empresa - imagine o custo disso.

Quanto aos comentários sobre o MB ser "ruim", não vejo como elemento positivo para a bitcoin no Brasil haver menos exchanges. Quanto mais opções, melhor. Quem é que pode garantir que o mesmo que ocorreu no MB não possa vir a acontecer com outras exchanges brasileiras? Quem diria que iria acontecer um dia com a toda poderosa Mt.Gox, entre outras exchanges grandes que deram mega calotes?

Dito isso, as perdas de bitcoins sofridas pelos clientes do Mercado Bitcoin são indesculpáveis, assim como a falta de comunicação da exchange aqui, no maior fórum sobe criptomoedas do mundo. No entanto, com todo o respeito, não acho que as pessoas que postam aqui contando sobre a perda de quantidades enormes como 100, 200 bitcoins, tenham sido bem aconselhadas legalmente. Advogados existem aos montes (e de capacidades e qualificações díspares), e se você consultar 10 advogados diferentes, provavelmente receberá 10 respostas/opiniões diferentes. Parece-me que estas pessoas desistiram muito facilmente de recuperar valores altíssimos. Não faltam bons advogados criminais que, mediante valores como estes, sem contar a eventual reparação por danos morais, concordariam em trabalhar em troca de um percentual dos valores obtidos em caso de vitória na ação. Aliás, é assim que a maioria dos advogados trabalha quando há a perspectiva de ganhos monetários em uma ação judicial.

O que eu não entendo é por que eles não usam o dinheiro das contas em outros bancos e creditam nas contas dos clientes que (como eu) solicitaram saques para contas da Caixa na semana passada. E, enquanto estão com problemas com a Caixa, por que permitir pedidos de saques para esse banco? O dinheiro está preso lá e não podemos nem cancelar os pedidos de saque pendentes para fazer as retiradas para outros bancos.

A few days ago he sent an email to users of his sites saying they would receive 4 million satoshis (~US$10) just for signing up with Coinbase from the link on the email:

(SAME EMAIL I GOT!)

When I didn't receive anything, I contacted him via his Facebook page (I tried emailing him first but the email info@bitcoinaliens.com does not exist) and he replied saying "Coinbase would send me the 4 million satoshis after they completed their verification which could take some time".

There is nothing else to verify, I've even received and withdrawn Coinbase's signup bonus of 10K satoshis already. What he is doing is taking advantage of Coinbase's own referral bonus system which gives the equivalent of US$ 10 in bitcoin to both the user who invites another user and to the new user, once the new user buys US$ 100 in bitcoins: "Invite a friend who buys $100 of bitcoin or more, and you'll both earn $10 of free bitcoin!" (from Coinbase's site)

And I thought I was doing something wrong! I even verified a credit card and my bank account with them. Maybe we should let Coinbase know about this, I don't think they would allow it.

Re: Lost all my Bitcoins?

Let me see if I got this right. So if you have a certain amount at an address and send out part of that amount, EVERYTHING you had at that address is moved out and the change is deposited at a new address? Why isn't the change kept at the original address?

The major reason is to give users better privacy. If there is no change address, someone else monitoring my address will see how much I have spent my bitcoin every time I make a transaction. But if there is a change address, you will only see I have send some bitcoin to address A and some bitcoin to address B, without knowing which of the two addresses is my change address.

Thanks for replying. So if I have a backup of my wallet.dat file I need to make a new backup every time I send coins, because there's always the possibility that the change will be moved to a newly generated address (if it runs out of pregenerated addresses or something) that doesn't exist in the backup file, right?

The 1.21 BC was in a single "chunk". When you sent 0.01, you made a transaction with one "in" (the "chunk") and two "outs": one sent 0.01 to whoever you sent that to, and the other one sent 1.20 back to you as "change". This second "out" was sent to a brand new address that you just generated. Since your old wallet.dat doesn't have the keys to this new address, you don't see it.

Let me see if I got this right. So if you have a certain amount at an address and send out part of that amount, EVERYTHING you had at that address is moved out and the change is deposited at a new address? Why isn't the change kept at the original address?

Re: i am a pedo?

The word pedophilia is very commonly and mistakenly used to refer to people who have sex with individuals below what the law determines as the "age of consent" in a given place. However, pedophilia is not a legal term, it's a medical (psychiatric) term. You're either a pedophile or you're not, and that doesn't change depending on what the age of consent laws are where you live.

That being said, I'll quote the Comprehensive Textbook Of Psychiatry, vol.1, by Harold I. Kaplan, MD, and Benjamin J. Sadock, MD:

" Pedophilia involves preferential sexual activity with children, either in fantasy or actuality.  Adult sexual activities or fantasies involving prepubertal children, the essential behavior in pedophilia, may be exclusively homosexual or heterosexual, or a mixture of both, and may occur within the family, among acquaintance groups, or between strangers.

Diagnostic criteria for pedophilia:

A - Over a period of at least six months, recurrent, intense sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviours involving sexual activity with a prepubescent child or children (generally age 13 years or younger).

B - The fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviours cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.

C - The person is at least age 16 years and at least 5 years older than the child or children in Criterion A.  Note: do not include an individual in late adolescence involved in an ongoing sexual relationship with a 12- or 13-year-old. "


So, no, you couldn't possibly be a pedophile for dating a 16 y.o., although you might be breaking the law in some US States if you had sex with her. I'm guessing that's where you're from, since teenage sexuality is a big taboo in the US, while in Europe ages of consent vary between 14 and 16, the sole exception being Ireland where the age of consent is 17.

He is probably aware that heterosexuals can and do engage in "sodomy" too. It´s kind of interesting that he specifically refers to it between same sex couples. Perhaps there's something Freudian going on here.

My guess is he was dumped by his boyfriend and went nuts. Cheesy

Now seriously, in most western countries I know something like this would be considered hate speech or incitation to violence and he would be getting jail time for apology for murder.

Can't connect to Bitcoin Core 0.10.0 to solo mine
by
SomeBoy
on 26/02/2015, 19:50:10 UTC
So every time a new official version of Bitcoin Core is released I try to connect to it to check if solo mining is working with a GPU like in the old days. For that I use the latest version of CGMiner which supported GPU's (v3.7.2) and GUIMiner. This worked fine with all versions up to 0.9.3 with the bitcoin.conf below:

rpcuser=XXX
rpcpassword=XXX
rpcallowip=*
rpcport=8332
daemon=1

From a command prompt, I run Bitcoin-Qt.exe with the -server parameter or bitcoind.exe and can connect and solo mine with no problems.

After upgrading to Core 0.10.0 and reading that it had changed the rpcallowip behavior and wildcards won't work anymore, I made these changes to bitcoin.conf (one at a time) to accept connections from ANY IP (I'm not concerned about security in this particular case):

rpcallowip=::/0

rpcallowip=0.0.0.0/0

I tried those on my local machine and also on a VPS, and neither CGMiner nor GUIMiner could connect to the server. For the local machine I also tried rpcallowip=127.0.0.1, and on the VPS I tried rpcallowip=mycurrentIP with no success either.

CGMiner says "Pool 0 slow/down or URL or credentials invalid" and GUIMiner says "[Errno 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it".

Reverting to Core 0.9.3 with rpcallowip=* I can connect to the server and solo mine with no problems. I'm connected to the internet via ADSL with the modem on bridge mode, so port forwarding is not the issue. It would seem that I'm setting rpcallowip wrong, so any help would be appreciated.

Re: A day in court for non-payment of the TV licence

What? "200k people prosecuted" for not paying a TV license? i find this really hard to believe what evidence can you really use that someone is watching live tv.   If someone watches it via computer and they tv company work with the broadband provider to establish this the argument could always be someone is bootlegging your WIFI.  They could take your computer to check but seems costly procedure for the £1k fine.

Having a TV in your house doesnt hold up as proof either in court.   Total scam this TV license thing.

From the article, it seems they used to have equipment that was able to detect if people were watching TV, which could only be live TV at the time (the 70s):

"There has always been some uncertainty (or outright suspicion) about the competence of television licence detection vans, made famous in the 1970s, with adverts showing what may, at the time, have appeared to be state-of-the-art equipment, allowing inspectors to drive around with whirring green radar displays alerting them to the presence of unlicensed homes.

Wow. I can't believe you Brits gotta pay £145/year for a license to watch tv.

Is that per TV? That'd be fucking madness.

Lol. Thats very cheap.

Here in Austria you have to pay ~30€ per month, its called GIS.
Its not per TV, but if you have a second house or apartment, you have to pay it twice.
Its even possible to go to jail here, for not paying the GIS.

By the way, the average Austrian pays more than a twofold of taxes, than an American, but earns about 1/3 less on income.

That's simply ridiculous. If, for example, you subscribe to a cable TV service and you don't pay your bill, the company will just interrupt the service. I'm sure the people from these countries pay enough taxes already. Do people even get a vote on what they want to watch on the TV channels they are forced to pay a licence for?

OK, newbie here but please bear with me because I'm sure many people reading this thread would like to ask this same question but are afraid to look noob. You keep saying not to reuse addresses and keep balances on new addresses. Now as I understand it, in order to send coins to any address the network needs to be made aware of it by means of a transaction which will be forever recorded on the blockchain with the public keys of the addresses. So what's the point in tranferring the coins to a new address if its public key is going to be made public by the transaction anyway, even if the address owner only made that single transaction using that address?

Should people interested in the presale already start depositing BTC on Moolah?

Direct wallet address that payment needs to be sent to, but that address will be provided by (and hosted by) Moolah. Won't be public until the presale starts, and having BTC on Moolah (like in your account balance or something) isn't going to get the BTC from Moolah to the escrow address any faster than a wallet outside of Moolah's system.

Hope this helps

Thanks, that's exactly what I wanted to know.
