Thank you!

Please forgive if this is a silly question, but I complied eth, executed it and it's not doing much. I strace()'d it and it does nanosleep():
nanosleep({0, 100000000}, NULL)         = 0

Does ./eth need to connect up to another public existing node? Do public nodes exist? How to bootstrap it?

I've heard many times that you can put a lot of other things in the blockchain, text messages, a contract between parties alongside the transactions, etc. How do I do that? Can I use bitcoind or sx for non-monetary things in a transaction?

Hm, what's the criteria for validity?
It doesn't look discarded as blockchain.info sees it. Anyway, how do I remove the record of this transaction from wallet?

The wallet I'm using is bitcoind.

Hi,

I've sent some BTC with a low fee and it's taking days to process.
blockchain.info says 9 hours, queue place 1900 or something, but it's like that for a few days and it's changing from low to high but not a single confirmation I get: https://blockchain.info/tx/c071df1ff752cdcdd86c8291339b6ae45049820bed4577f4c25b64b2937eb7b4

Is there a way to bump the txfee after sending or is this BTC basically in limbo for ever because there's always somebody with a higher fee?

Kinda silly, isn't it?

I think very old transactions should be getting a slight bump based on their age. It's not means to workaround fees, but to allow the system to resolve this kind of backlog.

What does this chart tell you about the market situation. Positions of demand and supply. Who's active. Where's the sentiment going?

So when I see a reward of 25.24999363, the 0.24999363 is the sum of transaction fees within that block?
Does it then mean the fees in 2040 will be increased so that miners at least make for the electricity?
But then again, how can the miners rely on non-miners to set the fees high enough?


I meant I have a server running bitcoind and that installation holds my wallet.dat.

Thanks.

So, what's the difference between:
- fees and reward during mining in a pool
- having my wallet stored and ran by a bitcoind node

On the bitcoind node I ran this:

When does this fee ever get calculated?

Also, what is my bitcoind node doing with all its 57 peer connections?

Hi, let's say it's 2020, mining with my current ASIC doesn't yield anything, but I supposedly can be rewarded for verifying the blockchain by fees.
How does a transaction (which is not my) get processed through my node and I get a fee?
Or is the fee system only for exchanges and the likes who keep accounts for others?

Czym innym jest otrzymanie platnosci w BTC, czym innym platnosci za usluge czy prace czy umowe, a czym innym zysk kapitalowy.

Mysle, ze:
1. samo otrzymanie platnosci w BTC (np. stowka od brata) nic za soba nie pociaga.
2a. otrzymanie platnosci za usluge, prace to dochod - pytanie czy to w ogole jest dochod dopoki jest w BTC.
2b. kupno PLN za otrzymane BTC -- zalezy jaki to mialo charakter: 1 czy 2a. Jesli 2a to jak ksiegowac? Nie ma kursu NBP BTC.
3. zysk kapitalowy: zysk na walutach (jesli nie zakup nie byl na cele konsumpcyjne), gielda, fundusze i oszczednosci to zyski kapitalowe obciazone podatkiem 19% (belka). To samo tyczy sie zysku na bitcoinach, gdyz te sa uznawane za walute wirtualna u nas w kraju. Zatem wplata i wyplata z zyskiem z bitcurexa to zysk kapitalowy.

18% i 32% to stawki skali podatku dochodowego od osob fizycznych, czyli 2a/2b w przypadku osob fizycznych.
Ale OP pyta o firme, wiec 18% liniowego CITu (pod. doch od os. prawnych)

Idealnie by bylo kupowac BTC i nigdy nie kupowac PLN tylko dazyc do uzywania tylko BTC i liczyc na spadek cen dobr w BTC a nie wzrost wartosci w PLN i placic prowizje za sprzedaz i wyplate.

Mysle, ze jakby przelewy24 i payu zrobily BTC to bylo super.

p.s. place za hosting w Polsce bitcoinami, cena na sztywno ustawiona, wiec jest w tej chwili za duza w porowananiu do zlotowek, ale zaplacilem akurat BTC kupionymi po 160zl...

Mam do sprzedania świetny i rzadki obraz w klimacie vintage'owych gier arcadowych znanych z salonów i 8-bitowych komputerów lat 80-tych i 90-tych!

• obraz został namalowany w technice olejnej,
• ma wymiary 60 x 40 cm,
• podobrazie bawełniane,
• ma zamalowane boki, nadaje się do powieszenia bez ramy.

0.13 BTC z przesyłką
0.12 BTC odbiór osobisty w Poznaniu.

Namalowany w roku 2013

Gorąco zachęcam do kupienia go np. na prezent dla fana lub fanki sztuki i klasycznych gier komputerowych.

p.s. Mam jeszcze jeden taki ale niebieski.

Pozdrawiam!

Just realized something.. Isn't this zero-sum?

Transactions are 2-legged: every buy is a sell. Every BTC is at the same bought and sold.
The buyer buys BTC and sells fiat.
The seller sells BTC and buys fiat.

exactly, bitcoin bought is fiat sold; bitcoin sold is fiat bought.
UNLESS you include other coins, but other coins sold is fiat bought.

zero sum, isn't it?

Cool, indeed! Would be better if it showed also the movement from BTC to Fiat.
And ultimately the net result!

Czesc,

Po pierwsze chcialbym sie przywitac. Jestem Pysiak, kopie jednym ASIC Jalapeno z BFL i kupuje GHS na cex.io.
Lekko handluje od lutego na bitcurexie. Glownie interesuja mnie aspekty infrastrukturalne i ekonomiczne. Czytam wszystko co wlezie mi w rece.

Po drugie, mam pytanko: czy jest gdzies exchange, ktory daje mozliwosc zlecania bardziej zlozonych zlecen, jak np. z limitem aktywacji by ustawiac STOP LOSS lub TAKE PROFIT?

I concur with previous poster about cex.io
Started a couple of days ago and it's working and seamless to start.
It's good that you can sell the GH/s so you can recover your investment. Unlike buying hardware asic. I bought from BFL and waited 8 months. The cost of that ended up 40$/GH/s. At cex.io I get about 23$/GH/s (depends on how you calculate different curriencies and which exchange you use) and I get GH/s instantly, not after 8 mos.

I'm building my bitcoind on debian 7.2 which provides libdb++-dev in 5.1 and this forces me to use --with-incomaptible-bdb.
It works, but what are the risks of running non 4.8? Is it only for portability of the data between installations using different version of the library?

I saw this question on zerohedge today. The guy was looking at https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/main.h and saying it's possible that this constant is changed in the future. I think he meant the whole network would be forced to accept a supply change.

This made me raise some questions:
- what happens if somebody runs a node or a pool with this variable different and we're reaching said supply?
- what if there was consensus in the whole community to increase this value, could that be done?
- if it were done and was adopted by all upgraded nodes, would that affect the mining curve and make new bitcoins's probability of getting mined different than it is now?
- wouldn't that invalidate the previously mined bitcoins worth?

Just thinking and wondering if anybody has had thougths around this.
Thanks

Thanks! I imagine if I tried that it would make the network see transactions spending from the same hash.
My question was more around having the wallet at 2 locations: master and secondary. Secondary to be used when master has been nuked or simply lost power...

Hi, is it ok to have 2 computers running bitcoin with the same wallet.dat ?
