Is this a valid reason to close a question?

Q: Setting up remote bitcoin server control PHP

I'm pursuing an idea for a web app I had and I've hit a road block. I've worked with many other JSON APIs using php but I've never been introduced to this RPC side of things. I've done reading but still stuck. I've set up a local bitcoin server using the bitcoin-qt.exe -server command in windows...

json-rpc server php

@JacobTorba No, when stuff is explained well on another resource it is not a good reason to close it.

Better write a quick summary of the other source and link it.

sorry, I was a bit busy there for a bit. ;)

@DavidPerry Any idea how the fee will be resolved? Standard fee is pretty high at the moment again.

ugh.... forbes.com/sites/billfrezza/2014/02/07/…

Well whats Bitcoin 2.0?

apparently we all need to register our addresses with the US government

...

and how do I get on this magical next-gen cryptocurrency that solves all the current problems of Bitcoin?

As far as I have progressed in the article he doesn't even mention a better variant again

just a catchy title

alright, gotta sleep

past 2 am again

:p

cu tomorrow folks

@Murch Not sure. If I had an algorithm that works I'd go implement it and become a Bitcoin superstar/hero

But from the chatter I think the devs have a few things they're testing. Hopefully they bear fruit.

1:25 AM

The next currency would have to be using some magical mathematical breakthrough that solves the 2GP without a large network, I think

@DavidPerry I am in the process of burninating software as agreed in meta with TimPost, when I just stumbled upon this extensive answer bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/13152/5406. It looks like a valid answer to me, how come it was deleted?

Q: Weeding out bad tags initiative 2014

During the process of burninating [tag:software], I stumbled upon a few other ill-defined tags. I would like to start collecting tags that we can tackle together: Tuesday 8pm UTC I have scheduled an event for the Bitcoin Lounge: Fixing tags meeting – Focus: Burninating [tag:software] and frien...

@Murch speed skating in a few minutes, Martina Sablikova is gonna rock it !

7:59 PM

Are we gonna be just sortin' through bad tags of the Bitcoin SE?

We can talk about pretty much anything, but the idea was to just fix a few bad tags, perhaps discuss a few more

We have lots of tags that are without description an appear only once, I think there are quite a few meta-tags, and tags that we could live without

8:32 PM

Just went through newly created tags and first few pages alphabetical tags and wrote down all tags that don't immediately seem obvious or could refer to many different things: Wrote down 25 tags that either need a definition or should be removed. ;) That was just up to C. ;)

@Murch good question, it says in the flag history that it was at one point flagged as a duplicate

but I don't see any other posts there that match up with it, nor any that have an edit history

but since its deletion reason is no longer valid, undeleting :D

:)

Hi david and user1746679

9:36 PM

@JacobTorba From reading some of your answers I got the impression you know a bit more about mining. Do you think you could help with this question? bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/21889/…

Let me try to get that

I left a comment asking for operating system, and a hardware question

will respond when I get the proper info

@JacobTorba Thx

@DavidPerry One question on best practices here: I have been looking a bit at tags today. I have uncovered quite a few that are in need of having a look taken at them. What do you think: Is it possible to discuss several of them in one Question (e.g. posting each as an answer to the same question) or should I rather create a new post for each?

Murch is there any way to undo a downvote?

I upvoted an hour ago and just realized I hit the downvote button instead.

@Murch depends on the number of them, if it's just 2 or 3 I'd do a Q for each, if it's several/dozens then one question could adequately cover it since the topic is no longer "x y z tags need help" but "holy crap all these tags guys"

9:57 PM

@JacobTorba Try to click the downvote again, sometimes you can retract it, I think it is time limited. Otherwise you can probably only change it after the post has been edited, but to be honest, there are few posts that couldn't be improved... ;)

A: What happens if your transaction is never confirmed?

It will eventually disappear from the network. Most clients will remove it from their pool of unconfirmed transactions. When most clients remove it, you can go ahead and send the transaction again, this time with a higher fee. There's not a precise time when the transaction will disappear from th...

MtGox should announce or update statement regarding btc windrawals in a few hours.

"LOLOLOLOL WE DONE, BTC IS GONE"

Im betting that they will extend the downtime

@DavidPerry Thanks that makes sense.

@JacobTorba Try to recast your vote

/me will now have a yummy pb&j sandwich. :D

10:13 PM

@Murch throw a little butter in a pan and grill it.

grilled pb&j is amazing

yes, that's true, but too lazy to get back up again. ;)

haha, fair enough. I do think I know what I'm having for lunch now though :)

:D

My pb&j sandwich will be a lot different from your sandwich, though.

Took me quite a while when I was in the US this summer, until I found a bakery that had decent bread. :D

I usually do my grilled sandwiches on challah, it stands up to cooking better

it also makes great french toast (or eggy toast, depending on whether we're speaking en-us or en-gb)

I have bread made from mixed rye and wheat flour (not homemade), dutch peanut butter (100% peanuts), and home-made peach-rhubarb jelly

:D

10:17 PM

mmm rhubarb

TBH had to look up challah.

I have some home-made strawberry preserves that might just work

my wife and I are big foodies

she was a food blogger, actually, until some douchebaggery with her hosting company resulted in me losing control of her domain

I helped a friend of mine putting all his grandma's plants in the house for the winter. She semi-professionally produces jelly. She gave me something like 10 jars. It is sooo good.

I just got her site back yesterday and her last post (she updated daily) was Dec 14 2012 :P

That's great! Unfortunately, (by my opinion) I am the better cook in my household. :p

Don't tell my gf. ;)

10:20 PM

I spent a little over a year in culinary school before I realized I was training to spend the next 2 years chopping parsley until someone actually let me cook

it's a rough industry

much more fun at home

Yeah, have known some people that work as chefs, it seems to be really tough. Long hours, weird hours, bad pay.

and climbing that ladder SUCKS

@Marek Curious to see what they will write. @JacobTorba Not willing to bet against that.

I live in Vegas, btw, which is an awesome place to be a foodie

16 Michelin star restaurants

I was wondering about what it would be like to live in Vegas. Is just the downtown tourist dominated?

wow.

@DavidPerry meta.bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/513/…

In case you didn't see it

10:24 PM

@Murch SSL error wtf

> You attempted to reach meta.bitcoin.stackexchange.com, but instead you actually reached a server identifying itself as *.stackexchange.com.

yeah, getting that too.

ummm ok well meta.bitcoin.stackexchange.com matches tha pattern *.stackexchange.com so I don't really see the problem... thanks Chrome.

You know guys

this is great that you get warning like this

Let me show you something

Worth seeing.

funny hair :)

I finally got to Defcon last year

10:28 PM

To sum, its basically presentation of already fixed bug for verification of registered SSL certificates, which enabled attackers to register domain e.g. thisishackersite.stackexchange.com as stackexchange.com

so he received SSL potentionally https for his malicious website

it's a known issue, the meta SSL thing

they're working on it

The way it was done is pretty simple, heh

@Marek nice talk, pretty awesome

10:46 PM

I loved sslstrip, it enabled so many household pranks

I see, I was way too well-behaved. ;)

11:00 PM

I just got to the Universal Wildcard. That is just sick.

once my wife was looking at dealership web sites for a car, I used ettercap to replace all the pictures with a giant camo print redneck/monster truck

something like this one

user image

lol. :D

I also used to kick bandwidth-hogging roommates off the network via arp poisoning

just tell them the gateway IP corresponds to their own MAC address

mean, sure, but it was my equipment and I was paying the bill. plus they sucked at covering their tracks when they pirated movies and I was tired of getting letters from the cable company

I just don't know shit about all that stuff unfortunately.

I recommend IronGeek's "Hacking Illustrated" series if you're ever interested in learning

irongeek.com/i.php?page=security/hackingillustrated

11:09 PM

Thanks, I will have a look.

it goes back a LONG way so a lot of it is out of date and may not work any more, but it's all there, basics thru advanced stuff

Darn, I hope they fixed all the stuff he is talking about by now. But then, probably there are a dozen new vulnerabilities.

@Murch at DC21 they were showcasing a 15-year-old DNS bug that allowed massive DDoS via traffic amplification that was still unpatched, still usable and if it was used on a large enough scale could generate enough traffic to cripple the backbone on a budget even I could afford

I was afraid you would say something like that. ;)

11:53 PM

We can now sing, What does the GOX SAY

@Murch you want to sing with me?
