Quote from: DataWraith on May 19, 2010, 19:52:42 Can I just butt in with a question on why that is? To me it seems that if Bitcoin uses public-key cryptography to transfer ownership of the coins, it should be a trivial matter to include a short message that is only […]

The blocks are currently about 34 MB. I’m sure future versions will improve the download process. Including them with the installation would not be correct way of speeding up the initial download. But a trusted source could certainly host the majority of the blocks as a separate download. That would […]

I run a website hosted on freebsd and well right now nobody visits it ever and so I can totally change it. I am wanting to change it to allow people to pay for services from the website exclusively through bitcoins. Now I see bitcoin has some linux program but […]

So, if I somehow I forwarded port router:8333 to bitcoinhost1:8333 and router:8334 to bitcoinhost2:8333, we get undefined behavior? Because that seems like trivial to me, to keep track of port numbers in any p2p app. At the moment, it always assumes the incoming port is 8333, so it would tell […]

Is there any way to remove bitcoin addresses that you have generated for yourself? What about if you have received payments to those addresses? Are they needed to show ownership for the coins after they have been transferred? A question to Satoshi: have you tested the program with thousands of […]

Today, I’ve got an error message: Exception: 9key_error CKey::CKey(); EC:KEY_new_by_curve_name failed bitcoin in ThreadBitcoinMiner() Console: terminate called after throwing an instance of ‘key_error’ what(): CKey::CKey() : EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name failed Aborted I hope that isn’t a buffer overflow. Have anybody this error message too? OS: linux Does it happen every time you […]

Quote from: Karmicads on May 01, 2010, 06:06:53 A freenet URI is like this: http://127.0.0.1:8888/USK@oshw3DxmJUt7q4ThF4dCez5IXbc9hCGcv0VuwLRCmeQ,ckeXv20F1gBzkqssB4RXHZ2nB1YRT8Pb8KYZk8wj-bs,AQACAAE/occamsrazor/6/f.pdf There you go, we could easily do it the same way, like: http://127.0.0.1:8330/?to=<bitcoinaddress>;amount=<amount> Bitcoin can answer port 8330 on local loopback just as it does for JSON-RPC on 8332.  It would give an HTTP answer.

Quote from: Xunie on May 14, 2010, 21:52:53 I suggest we disable IP transactions while the user uses a Proxy! Just to be on the safe side. That’s a good idea.  At the very least a warning dialog explaining that it’ll connect to the IP and send the information cleartext, […]

Could the bitcoin network be destroyed by someone generating endless bitcoin addresses nonstop? I mean it sounds like it would do something really bad to it. I’m pretty sure at some point a website will take payments in bitcoins and will decide to generate a new bitcoin address for each […]

Quote from: tcatm on August 16, 2010, 00:43:39 I propose to compile sha256.cpp with -O3 -march=amdfamk10 (will work on 32bit and 64bit) as only CPUs supporting this instruction set (AMD Phenom, Intel i5 and newer) benefit from -4way and it’ll improve performance by ~9%. GCC 4.3.3 doesn’t support -march=amdfamk10.  I […]
