1 2013-12-11 00:58:41 <Fistful_of_LTC> whats a good pool server i can set up to work with altcoins?
 2 2013-12-11 01:21:32 <andytoshi> i'm going to delay the coinjoin another day because i'm close to having a tool which will merge the signed transactions for me
 3 2013-12-11 02:06:51 <deanclkclk> question..how could I get the bitcoin-qt server? ?
 4 2013-12-11 02:08:11 <tommygunner> you can download it for free
 5 2013-12-11 02:08:28 <tommygunner> http://bitcoin.org/en/download
 6 2013-12-11 02:10:48 <deanclkclk> tommygunner: i'm talking the headless server
 7 2013-12-11 02:11:03 <tommygunner> you mean bitcoind
 8 2013-12-11 02:11:07 <tommygunner> not bitcoin-qt
 9 2013-12-11 02:12:20 <deanclkclk> yes u are right
10 2013-12-11 02:12:43 <deanclkclk> I want to start tinker around the server in term of the json-rpc commands
11 2013-12-11 02:13:04 <deanclkclk> where can I get it to download?
12 2013-12-11 02:13:31 <tommygunner> its included
13 2013-12-11 02:14:16 <tommygunner> you will need to download the blockchain which will take a considerable amount of time
14 2013-12-11 02:15:12 <tommygunner> especially because the bootstrap.dat is over 3 months old now
15 2013-12-11 02:20:05 <deanclkclk> well...I have bitoin qt locally
16 2013-12-11 02:20:08 <deanclkclk> on my pc
17 2013-12-11 02:20:13 <deanclkclk> so where do I find it?
18 2013-12-11 02:20:18 <deanclkclk> @ tommygunner ?
19 2013-12-11 02:20:51 <deanclkclk> I installed it on my pc
20 2013-12-11 02:23:34 <abishek> Good Morning, could someone advice on how to get notified by the bitcoin daemon if there is any incoming transaction/coin received on the wallet?
21 2013-12-11 02:24:28 <Gnaf> deanclkclk: bitcoind is in the bitcoin-qt daemon dir
22 2013-12-11 02:25:29 <deanclkclk> ok found it but, can I copy it and put it somewhere else or do I copy something else with it?
23 2013-12-11 02:25:42 <deanclkclk> because, I'm thinking it might need bootstrap.dat
24 2013-12-11 02:30:19 <Gnaf>  start your bitcoind with ./bitcoind -daemon and  bitcoind api commands https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Original_Bitcoin_client/API_calls_list
25 2013-12-11 02:30:41 <tommygunner> you will need the bitcoin data dir
26 2013-12-11 02:31:49 <abishek> Gnaf, but how do i know if i have received a transaction for the wallet?
27 2013-12-11 02:32:15 <abishek> should i keep pinging the bitcoin API to see if there is a change?
28 2013-12-11 02:33:03 <deanclkclk> I am wondering the same thing abishek
29 2013-12-11 02:33:27 <lianj> -walletnotify
30 2013-12-11 02:33:33 <lianj> look that up
31 2013-12-11 02:35:13 <deanclkclk> there's no walletnotify in the command list lianj
32 2013-12-11 02:35:15 <abishek> lianj, thanks, i currently have that hooked to a PHP script, will that only notify for the current wallet?
33 2013-12-11 02:35:27 <Blaster> I added this to ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf:  walletnotify=/home/btcdev/walletnotify.sh %s
34 2013-12-11 02:35:35 <Blaster> but it doesn't seem to be getting called
35 2013-12-11 02:35:44 <abishek> deanclkclk, it is a parameter on the bitcoind not on the api list
36 2013-12-11 02:36:12 <abishek> lianj, will -walletnotify also work if the dameon is started with testnet?
37 2013-12-11 02:37:01 <Blaster> is the only way to test -walletnotify to send transactions on the actual network?  Is there a way to do it with test net?
38 2013-12-11 02:38:20 <abishek> same question as blaster
39 2013-12-11 02:38:50 <Blaster> I found out that my  walletnotify.sh wasn't getting called because I forgot to set execute permissions
40 2013-12-11 02:39:18 <abishek> :-)
41 2013-12-11 02:39:28 <deanclkclk> ok so I'm confused setting up the bitcoind
42 2013-12-11 02:39:38 <deanclkclk> so in my daemon folder..i'm seeing bitcoind.exe
43 2013-12-11 02:39:40 <abishek> Blaster are you able to send or receive payments on testnet?
44 2013-12-11 02:39:48 <deanclkclk> there's no configuration file there..nothing
45 2013-12-11 02:39:54 <Blaster> abishek:  I am not sure I haven't used it
46 2013-12-11 02:40:00 <abishek> deanclkclk, take a look at this https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Running_Bitcoin
47 2013-12-11 02:40:16 <abishek> Blaster, ok, time for me to test it today
48 2013-12-11 02:40:51 <abishek> Blaster, i am not sure if I can send coins from one wallet running on testnet to another wallet running on testnet
49 2013-12-11 02:40:56 <abishek> gonna give it a try
50 2013-12-11 02:41:04 <Blaster> ok let me know
51 2013-12-11 02:41:08 <abishek> ok
52 2013-12-11 03:16:40 <tommygunner> any idea why this testnet transaction is not confirming? 7aa47957a36413875bd7a25ca4c872de723dd53fcc94ed81ab7c89bb39da34e6
53 2013-12-11 03:24:14 <abishek> how to generate an address with coins on a testnet wallet?
54 2013-12-11 03:26:11 <tommygunner> so, who just confirmed it? :P
55 2013-12-11 03:26:51 <tommygunner> abishek: you can just get some at a faucet, http://tpfaucet.appspot.com
56 2013-12-11 03:28:44 <abishek> thanks tommygunner, thats a very useful site. appreciate it
57 2013-12-11 03:36:11 <Blaster> hmm, walletnotify is sending a blank %s parameter.  here is from my bitcoin.conf:  walletnotify=/home/btcdev/walletnotify.sh %s
58 2013-12-11 03:36:27 <Blaster> here is my walletnotify.sh script... https://gist.github.com/redstar504/c75d1963cc11bc6fe867
59 2013-12-11 03:37:00 <Blaster> works fine when I execute it myself and send a parameter, so for some reason bitcoin-qt is not sending the %s param
60 2013-12-11 04:05:55 <Cryo> hmm, got an exception in 0.8.6 St9bad_alloc in ProcessMessages(block, 126682 bytes) FAILED.
61 2013-12-11 04:06:19 <Cryo> on osx, so I guess that 32bit memory thing affects it as well.
62 2013-12-11 04:08:31 <Cryo> but I don't think I was memory constrained, since I think osx uses bounce buffers
63 2013-12-11 04:21:24 <abishek> what are the firewall rules that need to be setup for the daemon to get the blocks?
64 2013-12-11 04:22:37 <kjj> allow outbound TCP to arbitrary addresses and ports, as well as packets belonging to related and established connections
65 2013-12-11 04:22:51 <kjj> er, "as well as incoming packets..."
66 2013-12-11 04:23:52 <abishek> kjj, i am setting it up on a managed hosting, so that probably will not be clear, is there a way to setup bitcoind to listen to on a specific port for getting blocks and chains
67 2013-12-11 04:24:32 <kjj> "most" nodes listen on port 8333
68 2013-12-11 04:25:11 <kjj> so you could use that TCP port as your outbound allow rule.  as far as I know, there is no way to force bitcoind to pick a specific local port for outgoing connections
69 2013-12-11 04:25:24 <abishek> kjj, found it, https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/FAQ#Do_I_need_to_configure_my_firewall_to_run_Bitcoin.3F
70 2013-12-11 04:25:30 <kjj> you can also set your node to listen, and have your listen port open
71 2013-12-11 04:25:32 <abishek> its actually documented on bitcoin
72 2013-12-11 04:30:42 <roconnor> sipa: hey
73 2013-12-11 05:27:01 <abishek> is testnet loaded if testnet=0 or testnet=1 on bitcoin.conf?
74 2013-12-11 05:28:13 <kjj> I'm not sure if it takes parameters.  on the command line, you'd just use -testnet
75 2013-12-11 05:29:15 <kjj> init.cpp has it running GetBoolArg
76 2013-12-11 05:46:46 <BlueMatt> wow...gihub sessions last forever apparently.. "Signed in: August 04, 2013"
77 2013-12-11 05:49:29 <abishek> has someone configured bitcoind on centos?
78 2013-12-11 05:52:10 <kjj> abishek: check the forums.  I had written a script for that a long time ago, but it broke.  I'm pretty sure someone wrote a better one
79 2013-12-11 05:53:27 <abishek> the jsonrpc works fine if I access it through curl using terminal but if I write a simple application using PHP to access via browser, it says it cannot connect
80 2013-12-11 05:54:35 <kjj> php safe mode on?
81 2013-12-11 05:58:19 <abishek> kjj should it be off or on?
82 2013-12-11 05:59:10 <kjj> off
83 2013-12-11 06:00:06 <kjj> might also have problems with open_basedir
84 2013-12-11 06:00:07 <abishek> yes, it is off and doesn;t work
85 2013-12-11 06:05:45 <abishek> i cant understand how it work using curl and not through apache
86 2013-12-11 06:11:12 <PRab> Is there a way to know how much the fee for a transaction is from the output of "decoderawtransaction"?
87 2013-12-11 06:15:51 <andytoshi> PRab: total outputs minus total inputs
88 2013-12-11 06:16:41 <PRab> I don't see the value of the inputs.
89 2013-12-11 06:23:14 <gmaxwell> PRab: decoderaw doesn't assume the inputs exist / that you have them, so it can't show you the fee.
