Topic: Simple questions about Ethereum nobody can answer !!! (Read 2966 times)

nobody seems to be able to give any straight answers when it comes to ether. I ask about the total coins some say 90m others say unlimited. I ask blockchain size and some say 5 GB others say 10GB. I am staying far away from this coin because i get the feeling that after the hype has down a lot of people are going to get burned. This is going to be worse then paycoin and auruacoin combined.

Its true that bitcoin may not have cutting edge tech, but at least it has been around 7 years and can be trusted to still be there tomorrow.

Everybody knows and everybody can tell you that Ethereum has no hard cap. There is no maximum number of ETH. Developers stated from the first day that ETH is NOT a coin, it's "fuel".

It was designed to power smart contracts, not to be used as a currency. It was designed as "fuel" to exactly prevent what just happened. Huge price increase. If the price of ETH goes up very fast, smart contracts will become more and more expensive to run.

A high ETH price could be a huge problem for the whole ecosystem because even simple contracts will use a lot of $$$.

That's why the team decided to make ETH an inflationary currency.

What you see on exchanges are people buying "fuel" hoping that will do exactly what's not supposed to do : GO UP FAST !!!. Smiley

Really?? Because in my experience whenever a question about ether is asked a different answer is always given. How do they expect people to invest in this if they cannot provide simple hard facts such as block timing, block size, algo, blockchain size, coinbase reward etc.I mean this coin launched without a GUI, how is this acceptable is 2016?? Heck bitcoin launched with GUI and as far as we know nobody paid satoshi to create bitcoin.

Java Security Manager is PITA, if you run Java app with reduced privileges be ready to face a lot of unexpected problems caused by JSM.

So you have disabled the security *on purpose* because of your poor coding skills.

Cheesy

Thanks for admitting to everyone that you are a "coding clown".

(and it was you who derailed this topic in the first place - feel free to defend your poor coding skills in the new topic I created just for this purpose)

Stop derailing this thread.

The explanation was simple:
I don't understand why would you choose the default port to be value below 1024 which means you cannot run this on unix system without super user privileges.

Even when I change the port in the config file, it still tries to bind to 999 so the server crashes.

Java Security Manager is PITA, if you run Java app with reduced privileges be ready to face a lot of unexpected problems caused by JSM. Being a reference implementation, IRI has as much error handling stripped out as possible. Together with JSM in paranoic mode this would make the testing a nightmare.

Port in the config file is for API only.

Now let's get back on topic.

which port?

https://www.iana.org/assignments/service-names-port-numbers/service-names-port-numbers.xml

EDIT: 999 is already taken

EDIT2:

I don't understand why would you choose the default port to be value below 1024 which means you cannot run this on unix system without super user privileges.

Even when I change the port in the config file, it still tries to bind to 999 so the server crashes.

You probably changed the api port.

API runs over 999 TCP per default, unless you change in your config file, nodes exchange data ( transactions, messages ) over 999 udp.
Thats why it tries to bind to 999.

Are you stupid or what? That's the issue ... the software should not run on a port which requires root privilege.

Again - if you had an explanation for hard-coding a port number less than 1025 in your "reference client" that wouldn't actually be very complicated to explain - would it?

But not for you - instead you have to be vague and then demand a 50 BTC bet simply because you are a scammer and can't actually answer a simple question.

Keep making excuses, it will change nothing. Now I'm leaving you alone without your bottle.

Again - no answer - and just insults (thought you were supposed to be the polite one weren't you?).

Let's expand this into a new topic shall we?

(I'll be happy to provide your non-investors with more information about your programming ability)

Amazing - I predicted what you would type in advance. Cheesy

Fucking troll who can't code for shit - you just lost!

(yes - if you were stupid enough to buy into his latest scam coin your "guru" is not even capable of writing half-decent software)

So, Ian Knowles, you have just shown what your words are worth. Fine, I'll add the recent posts into favorites in case if someone asks me why I treat you the same way as I do altcoinUK the Liar.

Unfortunately your ego is now what is working against you and your scam coin (as it did with Nxt before). You have been "found out" for a very obvious and stupid mistake yet refuse to admit it was a mistake (that is your fragile little ego being dented by reality).

Or are you so fucking gutless that you are going to hide behind "unless we have a 50 BTC bet I won't show my answer"?

Stop with the silliness already and "post your answer" (so I can show others why it is rubbish).

(of course I have no doubt you'll try and come up with some bullshit answer as that is what you always do)

Either accept the bet or I'll put you in the same category as altcoinUK and act accordingly.

Just as I predicted - you cannot answer it.

Dare to put your money where your mouth is? 50 BTC bet that it has already been answered? No escrow to speed this up, you have not scammed me yet, so I can trust you.

And that is?

(please enlighten us all)

Check in Iota thread, someone already asked that.

Just as I predicted - you cannot answer it (only a fucking coward would resort to telling others they should search your own topic for an answer to a simple question).

Now go and check your scam coin topic and find your answer and post it please (we are all waiting now and would be rather disappointed if you didn't do that).

(again - he won't - because he can't)

I have proven that you are not even capable of doing basic software development you idiot. Cheesy

He won't bother to answer the question as he actually can't (as there is no justifiable reason to do such a thing at all).

He fucked up and is now unable to admit it.


Sorry, if I brocke that up. 😀

Now regarding your professionalism - is there a proof that you are whom you pretend to be? Code or your name mentioned in credits? Maybe you always worked alone, in this case I can get why you don't know how a typical programming workflow looks.

Really - so you think it is "professional" to use a "root" restricted port in your software do you?

Yes, when there is a reason to do so.

And that is?
