12m video views for a vanity gen demo. That would be cool. lol




Found my service address  

'Service.....' takes around 12 hrs and the estimated find time was spot on.

@Boss

Address has the wrong spelling in the pop-up

F2Pool is building on a wrong side and there is fake confirmation since block 363731.

If you use light weight wallet or with old version of Bitcoin Core, you should stop accept bitcoin for a moment

ELI5 is difficult .  I try for a higher age...

The developers designed a soft fork BIP66 that does not allow some malformed bitcoin transaction (that have a strange signature that may not be accepted by newer versions of openssl).  To make sure that there is only minimal forking, they had some rules accompanied with the fork.

• Miners vote for the fork by setting version 3 in the block header.
• Only when 75 % of the miners vote, the change has any effect at all
• When 95 % of the miners vote, the new client ignores all miners voting 2 and orphans them off.

The latter should have produced a few orphans for the 5 % that didn't update.  However, it looks like f2pool and antpool just voted by setting version 3 but did not implement the rules of the fork, at least not the last one.   They built a fork on top of a block from a miner that didn't update.  Since they have a lot of hashing power they managed to produce a longer fork that was alive for some time before being overtaken by the miners implementing the soft fork correctly.  The effect is that we may see transactions with 6 confirmations that are later double spend.  Also f2pool will loose a lot of blocks since they are orphaned later.

If you have a full node that is updated, you have nothing to worry.  It will just ignore the invalid forks.   If you have a SPV client, it will trust the miners to not do something stupid like this and thus it may be on the wrong side of a fork.  There is a small chance that you see a transaction with a few confirmations that doesn't make it to the 0.10.x chain.

Guess we might need a new video from our latest hero member.

Yep, that did it! Thanks for such a quick response!

(replaced old link)

Fixed already! 

It must be nearly 2am where you are.  Thanks!

I concur, thanks for pointing this out.

The problem is, that the "Import into wallet" button will show as active even when your wallet is locked, and this will then give you the impression that an address has successfully been imported,
when in reality it has only pushed the address to your addressbook list, and will treat it as if you have no access to the privatekey, so you might actually LOSE ANY MONEY YOU SEND TO THIS ADDRESS.

I have already found a fix, and am testing it right now.
I will upload a new version within a few minutes.

Thanks to defunctec for testing!
Please continue the testing until you break it!

BLUE ALERT BLUE ALERT

THis is very VERY impootant, plez red cheerfully, tanx xXx  

No, seriously

Don't use the vanity address generator if your wallet is locked.
There's a little bug that allows you to import to "receive coins", but if you
undertake this while your wallet is locked, your wallet may not save the privkey
rendering that address unaccessible.

Best to just wait for a fix before playing anymore, georgem is already on it.

Voat needs a better colour scheme, but its basically a clone or reddit using reddit's open source code?

Haha, have you guys seen the state of reddit? Lots of subreddits being set to private.
Now everyone is moving to voat. Its pretty cool to watch. So many people are visiting the site that it went down. lol

Thanks!

Looks like I can't run the code yet
