It can’t do arbitrary actions remotely.  Maybe some of you are responding to other posters who suggested the alert system should do more? If there is an alert, the following json-rpc methods return an error: sendtoaddress getbalance getreceivedbyaddress getreceivedbylabel listreceivedbyaddress listreceivedbylabel The remaining 14 methods function as normal. I believe […]

That’s not the point, if I’m diligent enough to change a source code I’m also diligent enough to apply a -disablesafety switch which is much easier, the issue here is default behavior of the official client. Many people are going to just notice there is a new version, download and […]

I’ve been working on writing the alert system.  Alerts are broadcast through the network and apply to a range of version numbers.  Alert messages are signed with a private key that only I have. Nodes can do two things in response to an alert: – Put a warning message on […]

Being open source does not mean every user is a coder (I am, but still) so I guess the point that “you can just roll out your own client” is a little off. But why is satoshi integrating this on the server in the first place? I say that the […]

Folks: I just posted this note over on the Trade forum: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=30.msg10592#msg10592 There are a few hackers who would be pretty interested in contributing patches to integrate BitCoin payments directly into the Tahoe-LAFS storage protocol. It would be a big job! It would probably take a year of effort before […]

The difference between new and older CPUs is pretty easy to explain. Older microarchitectures have 64-bit mmx/sse execution units and split 128bit sse ops into 2 64bit microops. Newer archs have 128bit sse units. AMD K8: 2 64bit units intel Core/Core2: 3 64bit units AMD K10: 2 128bit units intel […]

Hi. I know difficulty is high, but is normal having a machine with 4200khas/second 😕 In the past, i generated a bunch. Search debug.log for “proof-of-work found”.  If you find any, then check for any errors right after that. Quote from: davidonpda on August 19, 2010, 19:43:01 How big of a […]

I’m not sure what to call it, but we could use a post that lists these things users should know.  If someone has time to write it, here’s the list: – Make sure your clock is set correctly. – Microsoft Security Essentials.  This never got written up proper. – Warning […]
