1 2017-01-03 05:28:09 <ossifrage> I have an old wallet (from 2013) and I'd like to 'spend' some of the coins in it, but I'd rather avoid having to download the full blockchain (and I don't actually have the free space to do it)
 2 2017-01-03 05:29:18 <ossifrage> I thought there where plans to support reducing the storage footprint of the blockchain, but I can't seem to find any references to this
 3 2017-01-03 06:00:16 <Dizzle> ossifrage: if you're willing to sweep the private key(s), you could use a centralized solution like Electrum. Better question for #bitcoin though.
 4 2017-01-03 06:03:06 <ossifrage> Dizzle, I gave up and just freed up some space. But I would have expected a sparse blockchain solution by now
 5 2017-01-03 16:03:53 <BW^-> sorry for slightly OT, asking here as i'm sure there are knowledgable people re. techs here:  which payment schemes have been implemented atop of Bitcoin (except for Lightning and ZeroCash)? any suitable for micropayments?    could Counterparty, http://counterparty.io/ be used for microtransactioning Bitcoins off-chain??    (I would guess not.)
 6 2017-01-03 16:12:48 <belcher> BW^- bitcoinj has/had code for micropayment channels (the simple kind from 2011)
 7 2017-01-03 16:13:10 <belcher> if you know how to code its not too difficult to implement a micropayment channel
 8 2017-01-03 16:20:04 <BW^-> belcher: those are heavy on the bitcoin network aren't they, as all updates are gossipped everywhere no - so acute scaling probs?
 9 2017-01-03 16:20:44 <BW^-> belcher: the two issues i am looking at are transfer cost (a micropayment would be smaller than a txfee) and bandwidth (tx scaling)
10 2017-01-03 16:21:22 <belcher> iv never looked at the bitcoinj code but i would be surprised if it flooded transactions to the entire network, the point of the whole thing was they can be sent just between the sender and receiver
11 2017-01-03 16:24:11 <BW^-> hmmm.
12 2017-01-03 21:21:25 <RainMan28> Is there anything in debug.log on Core 0.13.1 that would indicate when a transaction failed due to the chain of unconfirmed inputs being 25 levels deep or greater?
13 2017-01-03 21:22:25 <RainMan28> I am seeing a transaction fail with the error shown here: https://dpaste.de/DN8f and think it might be due to too many unconfirmed chains but have no way to really verify if that is what caused it
