1 2014-11-15 01:15:13 <Guest40522> so, i'm kinda curious what OS eveyrbody's using for their Bitcoin development?
 2 2014-11-15 01:58:06 <spiftheninja> Any devs around?
 3 2014-11-15 01:58:11 <spiftheninja> I have a problem with a transaction not confirming
 4 2014-11-15 01:59:27 <Luke-Jr> spiftheninja: sent with Bitcoin Core or btcd?
 5 2014-11-15 02:00:10 <spiftheninja> Well, Idk where else to ask this -- I was actually using Litecoin, but I figured it runs on the same principles. Apparently my ISP d/ced right as I sent, and now the coins are lost in the cosmos? I'm not sure what to do.
 6 2014-11-15 02:00:36 <spiftheninja> It shows as sent in my wallet (litecoin core), but the transaction doesn't show up on the block chain, and says unconfirmed. I've reopened a few times..
 7 2014-11-15 02:00:45 <spiftheninja> It connects to the network but still unconfirmed
 8 2014-11-15 02:02:49 <Luke-Jr> spiftheninja: altcoins are not on-topic here, nor supported.
 9 2014-11-15 02:03:27 <Luke-Jr> the topic already says this
10 2014-11-15 02:04:51 <spiftheninja> you can't even offer some advice on my situation? there's no way to repair a wallet like this?
11 2014-11-15 02:06:52 <Luke-Jr> spiftheninja: even if I felt like advising on scam-coins, it wouldn't be in here.
12 2014-11-15 02:21:48 <Andymeows> Anybody know of any multisig based auction site/projects? Something along the lines of registered escrow addresses that could collect bids until a particular block designated as the end of the auction
13 2014-11-15 03:46:46 <xuxu> at which point should you not use the micropayment channel?
14 2014-11-15 03:47:13 <xuxu> i.e. how many satoshis do you need to use before it's officially not a micropayment
15 2014-11-15 08:26:28 <r3nd> hi, can someone explain to me the rev00xxx.dat files
16 2014-11-15 08:26:50 <r3nd> surely transactions shouldnt be reversed?
17 2014-11-15 08:38:54 <sipa> r3nd: when a block reorganization occurs, we need to undo the effects of the blocks that end up being removed from the active chain
18 2014-11-15 08:40:32 <r3nd> why would blocks ever be allowed to be removed?
19 2014-11-15 08:40:57 <r3nd> wouldnt that mess with people's coins?
20 2014-11-15 08:41:59 <r3nd> perhaps i misunderstand "block reorganization" does that happen often? every block?
21 2014-11-15 08:42:16 <sipa> r3nd: because there is no guarantee that two.nodes always agree about which of two conflicting.blocks should be accepted
22 2014-11-15 08:42:36 <sipa> please read up about bitcoin's basics, or ask in #bitcoin
23 2014-11-15 08:46:28 <Tong> hello
24 2014-11-15 08:46:44 <Tong> I haven't been for a chatroom for a long time
25 2014-11-15 08:47:06 <Tong> Is anybody here now?
26 2014-11-15 08:47:36 <chmod755> Tong, yes. this channel is about bitcoin / software development
27 2014-11-15 08:48:03 <Tong> Great
28 2014-11-15 08:48:20 <Tong> I am writing an essay about bitcoin
29 2014-11-15 09:37:43 <deego> time for return to 480?
30 2014-11-15 09:37:52 <deego> oops, wc
31 2014-11-15 16:47:29 <p-trust> where I can reach the administrator of irc.lfnet.org servers? Need to report him a serious security breach urgently.
32 2014-11-15 16:54:11 <p-trust> well, continue to think whatever you want, but don't cry later.
33 2014-11-15 21:50:40 <linagee> is there a way to remotely get a version of a bitcoind node? (or maybe even just a website that shows what the most popular versions being run are?)
34 2014-11-15 21:51:47 <linagee> ah. n/m. found the info I was looking for. :) https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/nodes/?q=United%20States
35 2014-11-15 21:53:28 <Luke-Jr> yes
36 2014-11-15 21:53:42 <Luke-Jr> http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/charts/security.html may also be of use
37 2014-11-15 21:53:51 <Luke-Jr> (scroll down to get precise counts)
38 2014-11-15 22:15:51 <linagee> Hrm. I'm seeing that it could be hard/impossible to identify which version the most popular miners use though. (Because they could broadcast from any IP they want) Do any major mining pools disclose what version of bitcoind they're using?
39 2014-11-15 22:16:28 <Luke-Jr> linagee: I don't see why one would think that is relevant.
40 2014-11-15 22:16:48 <Luke-Jr> miners shouldn't be using unmodified code in the first place
41 2014-11-15 22:17:00 <linagee> Luke-Jr: if I'm going to vote with my own hash power, I'd like to point it at a mining pool that has the version I'd like to be voting for.
42 2014-11-15 22:17:21 <Luke-Jr> linagee: there's no voting by version..
43 2014-11-15 22:17:37 <Luke-Jr> linagee: sounds like you're talking about mining policies, which are independent of software version
44 2014-11-15 22:17:50 <Luke-Jr> (and probably a topic for #bitcoin-mining more than here)
45 2014-11-15 22:18:01 <linagee> true. it seemed kind of devish. sorry.
46 2014-11-15 22:20:42 <Luke-Jr> linagee: insofar as dev topics, hopefully as GBT gets more complete (want to help? :P) we will see more pools using it so the end-miner runs their own policy
47 2014-11-15 22:23:13 <linagee> Luke-Jr: had to look up GBT to even know what it is. :) my main concern would be throwing mining power at a pool running really old code.
48 2014-11-15 22:23:25 <linagee> (Getblocktemplate?)
49 2014-11-15 22:23:55 <Luke-Jr> linagee: yes; as long as the pools aren't running code too old to mine valid blocks, that shouldn't be a concern
50 2014-11-15 23:16:38 <Luke-Jr> [Friday, November 14, 2014] [5:44:43 PM] <sipa> Luke-Jr: i like the changes <-- maybe post ACK, utACK, or whatever? XD
