ugh I am getting spammed by MEE6bot as well.

I will only believe it when he moves a bitcoin. Hopefully with a text string identifying his "real name" in the extended data of the transaction.

Regarding ownership of topics - I'd ideally like to see the ownership transferred to the "new" witcoin, wherever that may be.

Either that or (as a poor second option) get the topics cashed out to the value of the bitcoin invested in their creation to the topic creator so that the topics may be re-created by said creator.

I'd hate to have to pay to create topics twice, or lose the bitcoin involved, or jeopardise the opportunity to help grow the community.

So what are the outcomes for people who "own" topics under the proposed future plans?

Do people who own topics continue to get a share of future posts in those topics?

Only one message is clear.

DO NOT USE BITCOIN TO BUY LARGE QUANTITIES OF CRUDE OIL.

Bad things happen.

Thanks again,

I downgraded from openssl 1.0 to 9.x and now the whole project builds perfectly

Thanks!

downgrading to boost-static-devel has made most of the errors go away, now it's only complaining about boost's context_service.hpp

Hi All,

I'm trying to apply the getblock patch

http://yyz.us/bitcoin/patch.bitcoin-getblock

to the source of Bitcoin 0.3.20, and I've successfully merged the changes to rpc.cpp in.

I'm running fedora core 12, with kernel 2.6.30, openssl 1.0.0 (installed by hand), and boost version 1.45.

unfortunately I had to change some of the static linked libraries to dynamic linked libraries for boost and db_cxx (I seem to be lacking .a files, I've only got .so files so I had to change the linker flags in the Makefile)

now I'm running into problems with building bitcoind
eg:
/usr/local/include/boost/system/error_code.hpp:214: undefined reference to `boost::system::generic_category()'

please help!

Cheers,
nos

dannyjpw, I've been spending a lot of time at witcoin.com.

I pays my bitcoins to vote and post, and the content is usually fun.

I agree with TiagoTiago. And if the receiving addresses are known to belong to lost wallet.dat files then the coins will never be spent and those dirty blocks cannot be pruned.

it would be pretty easy to encode the offending data in the message part of a transaction, and the data (when concatenated together) could be verified as "evil" using a hash set database like the NSRL Software, or the NCMEC database, or HashKeeper.

This means that you wouldn't need a program to decode it. It would be, as em3rgentOrdr pointed out, an illegal number. Write it in binary to disk, change the filename to jpg and anyone would be able to see it.

hmm. the success of this attack on the network relies on our inability to change the block chain, and the block chain's stability is what drives the trust that we have in the impossibility of double spending.

Hi Themyos,

I just cloned a fresh copy of the bitcoin development tree from github, and then tried to patch in the rpc.cpp getblock patch

I got two successful hunk applications and one fail

I tried patching 0.3.19 and got three fails.

Should I try patching 0.3.20? I'm downloading it now.

Cheers,

Thanks!

nice hack.

I'd still like to see a free java android app though - that would result in an explosive uptake when everyone can get bitcoin in their pocket without jumping through configuration hoops.

Ah thanks. getblock in 0.3.19 is also coming up with an error.

the -printblock flag seems to work, but I don't have my gui turned on on my server so I can't see the output.


$ bitcoind getblock
error: {"code":-32601,"message":"Method not found"}


$ bitcoin -printblock
Error: Unable to initialize GTK+, is DISPLAY set properly?


$ bitcoin getblock

is there another way to do it?

Hi All,

I've been trying to use the getblockbycount api call to analyse the block chain

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Original_Bitcoin_client/API_calls_list

but I'm getting


$ bitcoind getblockbycount 109620
error: {"code":-32601,"message":"Method not found"}


any ideas why?

Cheers

Awesome!

When will it be ready to use?

Satoshi = STS!

Somebody should write a distopian science fiction story where it costs you 1 United States Union for a tank of gas.

and all other transactions are expressed in unions, leading to "old west" prices - Five unions for that horse? Way too high. Plus I need 50 Unions to hire a US marshal to find out who killed my poppa for his two california gold pieces.

heh.
