1 2017-09-11 00:21:33 <esotericnonsense> chucked it up on the site, i like the interaction much better, the cpu usage is hellish tho
2 2017-09-11 00:23:10 <esotericnonsense> wait nevermind. no it's not. firefox is just using a good whack of cpu at idle and on other tabs. hahaha

4 2017-09-11 07:02:37 <digitlimit> I have been playing around with bitcoin core installed on my local server...I use testnet and had about 50BTC and few accounts only to discover that the balance is 0.000000 today. I guess it happened after a server reboot. please advice ..what could have gone wrong
5 2017-09-11 07:12:57 <kallewoof> digitlimit: accounts are buggy and shouldn't be used. you may be looking at the balance for the wrong account. Try `getbalance "*"`
6 2017-09-11 07:19:28 <digitlimit> thanks kalletwoof: if don't use account means it's gonna be serious issue for me..means I must generate address for new member and track the address in my database
7 2017-09-11 07:21:04 <digitlimit> i'm developing an escrow service.. want each member to have own account ..
8 2017-09-11 07:21:55 <kallewoof> You do not want to use the accounts feature in that case.
9 2017-09-11 07:22:57 <kallewoof> Or at all, for that matter.
10 2017-09-11 07:24:00 <digitlimit> kallewoof: you suggest dealing with addresses only...generate addresses on core account? : 'bitcoin-cli -testnet getnewaddess'
11 2017-09-11 07:24:46 <digitlimit> then use a database to identify users and their addresses?
12 2017-09-11 07:26:16 <kallewoof> If you intend to have multiple users share a single bitcoin node then yes, you should keep track of their balances yourself.
13 2017-09-11 07:27:45 <digitlimit> alright ..seems you are right about bitcoin account being buggy

15 2017-09-11 07:28:10 <digitlimit> Account Weaknesses Since the accounts feature was introduced, several services have used it to keep track of customer's bitcoin balances and have had the following problems: Wallet backups are an issue; if you rely on a good backup of wallet.dat then a backup must be done every time an address is associated with an account and every time the 'move' command is used. The accounts code does not scale up to thousands of accoun
16 2017-09-11 07:28:32 <digitlimit> Accounts would have made it easier dough :)
17 2017-09-11 07:28:54 <digitlimit> not sure if there is any future plan to fix accounting bugs
18 2017-09-11 07:41:10 <kallewoof> The plan I believe is to remove it as it is confusing new users. :/
19 2017-09-11 12:23:21 <wxxs> johoe mempool statistics seems to be stuck since 12 hours: https://core.jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#8h
20 2017-09-11 13:31:34 <esotericnonsense> wxxs: my site https://esotericnonsense.com is up atm
21 2017-09-11 13:31:49 <esotericnonsense> wxxs: what do you mean by stuck though? no data after ~0000? is it utc?
22 2017-09-11 13:33:26 <wxxs> It is stuck at Sep 10, 00:07. I believe that is UTC. Refresh doesn't help.
23 2017-09-11 13:39:36 <esotericnonsense> right, i see now
24 2017-09-11 13:39:42 <Sentineo> yeah
