I'm not up to reformatting the whole tutorial and will just lazily invite you to visit https://bitcoindev.network/running-a-bitcoin-node-on-synology-nas/ to check it out.

It will be walking you through the steps of setting up a bitcoin node docker container on a Synology Network-attached storage (NAS) device in just a few simple steps.

In a sense, Bitcoin is about claiming back full ownership: your keys, your money. Network-attached storage is also about claiming full ownership over your data. Considering that a typical NAS might likely have spare storage, and typically runs 24/7, this makes them perfect candidates on which to run a bitcoin node.

Have fun.

I'm please to announce the initial release of Bitcoin.jl, a bitcoin library written in pure Julia and which should be shortly release as an official Julia package

For now it does provide the following functionalities:

• Base58 address generation
• WIF address generation
• Fetch transaction from node
• Get transaction ID
• Get signature hash
• Script evaluation

Note that it is an initial release and that code is untested on machine other than amd64

Comment, contribution, challenge always welcome!

I am happy to release Brane's white paper https://brane.cc/white-paper, arguing in favor of a portfolio management tool, describing required functionalities and setting a road map for future extensions. It concludes :


A simple features overview can be found on project's home page https://brane.cc.

I'll be happy to receive feedback, good or bad, always welcome!

After more that five years trading cryptocurrencies, I did face difficulties tracking positions held at various exchanges & wallets and realized close to nothing existed for one to track its positions without going through a third party.

I have therefore taken the initiative to start working on a tool that will be able to talk to various crypto exchanges and wallets to ease management of crypt-investments by:

-    Reading cryptocurrencies balance held at exchanges and wallets
-    Providing real-time and at date portfolio balance
-    Aggregating exchanges price data, i.e user specific price index
-    Providing quantitative market analysis
-    Automating trading

Please have a look at initial SRS on Github if you'd like to know more about it and do not hesitate to contact me to request functionality that would be important to you or if you wish to participate in product development.

Once the basic features highlighted here above will be fully functional I do plan at adding functionality that would allow sharing (selling?) automated trading strategies that works best and truly decentralize investment by not relying on any third party like ETF for anyone willing to invest in crypto.

Indeed, not a big deal for the network as a whole in the end

Hardware requirement to run a full node is increased however: mine is now using about 1 GB RAM (while meme pool size has decreased already) instead of 350 MB usually... CPU usage seems a little higher as well

In any case, that is/was to be expected with network growth

Well played indeed

...about 160 MB backlog and 43 k unconfirmed transaction right now

Thanks for the feedback, always good to understand what happens behind the scene

I confirm that not long after I reported the issue, everything was running smoothly again.

Back online but...


Any update about those issue?

Website back online but BA remains unreachable via email....

EDIT: I manage to get an message receipt confirmation by opening a ticket via https://www.blackarrowsoftware.com/support/

Servers down?
Back-end seems dead and front-end report the following

Data seemed to be there when I posted as I could see order and communication history.
However site is down as I am writing.

Their email server doesn't react as well... That s*** doesn't smell good as I am/was still hoping for my compensation....

BA is back online and posted the below on eCoinTalk

eu server is back online

us-east did not work for long and shows same issue as eu 's one since about this morning
us-west working correctly

Well well... I was wondering for some times what action should I take... I now know and have no trust in BA left: I'll file a complaint with the Hong Kong Consumer Council.

Does anyone knows if "group complaint" can be made under HK law? Or does it have to be individual claims only?

same issue for two days now, I'll switch to us-east this evening

Even though time passes and does not comfort my feelings it do not feel stolen (yet) and still want to believe BA will offer proper compensation at some point in time.

I personally think BA does have a real crap supply chain, vendor management and customer service...
They have proven (more than once) not being able to maintain a proper/realistic production schedule.
They have proven not being able to get what they require from their vendors
They have proven not being able to offer what they stated to their customers

It looks like I (amateur miner/developer) would start tomorrow an bitcoin mining ASCI company a promise delivery within 6 month, with off course no experienced team nor established vendor relationship.

This would have been a (meant) scam, I assume we'd not hear about BA anymore with their founder enjoying a pile of dollars somewhere on a sunny island.... But we still hear and read about them (mainly not in a positive manner though).

To make it short, I think/assume:
1. BA realized about supply chain management early 2014 - too late
2. BA realized about vendor management mid 2014 - much too late
3. Consequently, BA faced reliability issue on their X3 unit putting even more pressure on their (nonexistent) supply chain management
4. Consequently again, BA faces customer anger for defect product and delayed delivery putting even more pressure on their (nonexistent) customer service

Since I still trust BA has good will, I think it is a wise decision to continue with new product development since only next gen units could now fairly compensate customers. Refunding/financial compensation would just kill the company in my opinion and vigilantism by stilling from them would only benefit to the theft (BA customer would probably never see a single satoshi of such a theft)

For the history, I have ordered two X1 units back in November '13 and received them functional (without LCD and WiFi) late July '14. Units are working perfectly since then.
Now required from BA a free "X1 14 nm" as compensation, which they said they'd investigate...

Gracie mille!
-> That's how far my Italian goes...

I had found this post as well but was not sure it was the good direction to follow. Thanks to your confirmation I insisted and finally got it working. It took my some time to figur out that API was returning a list of dictionaries and not a dictrionary directly... Therefore my doubt...

Again, gracie mille, that works

+1

Cannot say that better!

I was wondering for some time if I was reading correctly?! BA talking about bitcoin protocol?!?
Nothing else better to do at the moment?!?!?!?  Un-fu****-believable...

I'd like to know how to import JSON date to libreoffice as well!
Any luck with your research?
