ahahahah blockchain has a thing for warning people about double-spends when that's not even supposed to be possible with bitcoin
fiat currency locks you into being able to spend your money on only one thing at a time. bitcoin gives you the freedom to spend the same money on one, two, three, or any number of different transactions, which is why the central banks and their paid stooges are so desperate to destroy it.

The only reason to be part of the bitcoin universe today is speculation. The volatile exchange rate makes Bitcoin an interesting, high-risk financial instrument.

Despite all the hype, the Bitcoin community is probably not large

According to Blockchain.info, more than 140,000 addresses are now in use to process an average of 60,000 transactions per day, roughly the same number as a year ago and about 0.1 percent the number handled by MasterCard

yes but for a system crowing about bringing the downfall of the dollar and CCs it illustrates the magnitude of the delusion.

Bitcoin might have been an interesting way of offering an alternative payment system. There might even have been some validity to the 'borderless' aspect (though that would depend on how the regulations on it were implemented), but any chance of it ever becoming a broadly used system is smothered in the crib by the insane ideology coiners have married to their system.

we tried that already, it's gotta be the header for it to detect

on that note though i wonder what the win32 dll header would do with regards to heuristic antiviruses, or maybe a gzip header

it's a design flaw. the transaction ids were obviously supposed to be able to uniquely identify a transaction, but the protocol spec wasn't quite tight enough, so it's possible to generate different hashes for the same transaction by swapping the inputs around

in a real financial environment this would have been fixed very quickly. but this is bitcoin, so the developers just put a workaround for the problem in the reference implementation instead of actually fixing the protocol itself

it's worth noting that unless the bitcoin-qt wallet has been updated at some point in the last few years, which i doubt, you need to hex edit your wallet.dat to even attempt that safe fix since pending transactions couldn't be resent by default for obvious reasons

the joke is that blockchain.info says "Warning! this transaction is a double spend of ####" and there's a big red "DOUBLE SPEND" label, but it's not a successful one because if you look at the other transaction it has zero confirmations. but if you don't follow the link to the other transaction it looks like a real problem

so i can post an unaltered screenshot where it totally looks like there's been a double-spend and feign complete ignorance, even though anybody with any clue can tell that i'm loving with people

and @aantonop has retweeted part of the conversation so i know he's seen it, but he didn't say anything in response, i wonder if he's going to get that fixed
