How can they claim Amazon is accepting it? That's just a straight-up lie.

haveblue posted:so what exactly happened? was it like that wallet generator page where they used a weak seed and someone was able to reproduce addresses already in use? Based on my understanding of the code, they made a typo where they did not use the crypto-grade random number generator under Internet Explorer and fell back onto a generator that was not cryptographically secure.

So wait, they redeployed their existing infrastructure without knowing how they were compromised? Doesn't that mean that they're just going to get hacked again?

Sweevo posted:i bet "rebuilt from the ground up" means they formatted all the computers and reinstalled the software exactly as it was before Yes, this is my understanding. Its not uncommon if you've been compromised because you don't want to chance that the hacker left a rootkit for you, so you wipe and re-install. Problem is in this case its possible that there was an issue with their software so they may have just re-installed the exploit.

so now that ulbritch is implying that karpeles was the one that ordered the hits, how long do you think it will take bitcoines to backpedal on the "the murder for hire charges are fake! non violent exchange!" bs? seeing as how now it's the great satan that ordered the hits... I'm suspecting they will suddenly and inexplicably find the charges completely plausible.

Choice of database depends on a lot of things. If you only want to make a toy exchange, SQLite is fine, as long as you are aware that real numbers are stored as floating point. Its a double, so your choices are to take the result and immediately convert it into an actual arbitrary-precision data structure (Decimal in Python) and then round it to the precision you're working with, or to just use integers entirely by storing and working with everything at the lowest level of precision (i.e., work with 110 cents rather than 1.10 dollars). But you're going to have a bad time with SQLite if you need availability or high concurrency.

The UTXO set doesn't have to be in memory. Its stored in a LevelDB database, and I think by default only a few hundred MB or so of it is stored in memory. Why Gavin decided to run the numbers as if it needed to be stored in RAM is beyond me; it really doesn't make sense to assume that. In order to perform well, your UTXO database really needs the hot set in memory plus a way to quickly pull things in. A small amount of RAM and a bigger SSD will work for the foreseeable future. That is, unless Bitcoin catches on and starts attracting users extremely quickly, but I'm strictly limiting this to realistic scenarios so its not something you need to worry about.

the minecraftcoin poo poo just keeps getting stupider and stupider. the primary purpose seems to be to make it so that the game mods can't take away your stuff, so you can sell or transfer it if you're banned. but your poo poo is still going to be in the in game database while you're in game because otherwise it would run like poo poo. so best case the system is in effected at its intended purpose and worst case you have a game that cannot be effectively moderated. good loving God. why do they think that gamers are that worried about their virtual swords and poo poo. this is literally the last thing I'm concerned about when playing an online game.

I hadn't considered the technical support aspect but that is absolutely correct as well. and yes they do need a designer here. they're probably missing a lot of other things that you'd want for a production system if those posts are any indication

NakedWithCandy posted:Won't they need a database on top of the block chain anyway to keep track of which transaction equals what item, which defeats the whole they actually seemed to realize how stupid using blockchains to track this poo poo in game would be. they plan to have an in game database for when you're in game and allow you to move your items to ~the blockchain~, at which point they're no longer available for in game use. "well that seems pointless" you might be thinking, but how wrong you are! this system allows you to protect your virtual items from the crooked grasp of the game moderators in the case you want to spam virtual dicks at children! this is not a joke, this is literally the example they used to justify why this is a useful feature

Or steal stuff from other players and be safe from repercussions. It is amazing that they kept using examples where I (and most other gamers) would absolutely want moderators to be able to step in to justify developing a system to protect players from moderation. In their own game. They apparently just wanted some real-money markets like Diablo had, since they're also talking about Steam Marketplace. Since they are Bitcoin fans they decided that it was an obvious choice, and then justified the added complexity after the fact with their evil-moderator scenario. So in short, not quite as stupid as predicted, but still pretty stupid. ryde fucked around with this message at 18:16 on May 20, 2015 |

Why do they think that Silk Road harms the drug cartels? It only addresses the "last mile" -- the vendors are still sourcing their stuff from somewhere, and that somewhere is likely established cartels.
