___Charlie, if you just used 'Charlie___' it would be easier on all of us :)
___Charlie 2017-01-10 08:46:28
:)
___Charlie 2017-01-10 08:47:14
;o
___Charlie 2017-01-10 08:48:35
I wouldn't be near the top of the list with Charlie___ ;(
arubi 2017-01-10 08:54:12
___Charlie, /usually/ when lists are being made, you don't want to be at the top
arubi 2017-01-10 08:54:37
I mean, hardly nobody's making a list of "free money recipients" right?
___Charlie 2017-01-10 08:54:57
Sure but its not black and white either
arubi 2017-01-10 08:55:27
sure, there's a whole list of colors

warning='3 of last 100 blocks have unexpected version'
marijnfs 2017-01-10 09:04:41
what's that
arubi 2017-01-10 09:05:19
some blocks have version numbers that your client doesn't have a rule set for
marijnfs 2017-01-10 09:06:06
version=0x30000000, are the version bits the voting bits?
arubi 2017-01-10 09:06:29
well, they can be used for anything as you see
arubi 2017-01-10 09:06:49
your client will probably treat them as some feature being voted on
arubi 2017-01-10 09:07:53
setting the version isn't binding. it's just picked up as some type of signaling by clients
marijnfs 2017-01-10 09:08:15
ok, seems to signal 2mb blocks
marijnfs 2017-01-10 09:08:27
don't know why thats unexpected by the main bitcoin client
arubi 2017-01-10 09:08:42
yep, there's one implementation that does that
arubi 2017-01-10 09:09:53
for example, I'm intentionally running a v0.12.1 core node. for me: "UpdateTip: 34 of last 100 blocks have unexpected version"
arubi 2017-01-10 09:10:29
3 of those are your 0x30.. and the rest are most likely blocks that signal segwit :)
marijnfs 2017-01-10 09:14:30
arubi: you don't like segwit?
arubi 2017-01-10 09:14:42
I do! I also run a v0.13.1 node
marijnfs 2017-01-10 09:14:47
it's the best thing since sliced bread
marijnfs 2017-01-10 09:14:51
ow haha
marijnfs 2017-01-10 09:15:33
lightning is truly awesome though, once we have that it will go crazy
arubi 2017-01-10 09:16:11
oh it is. I'm trying to find some place to host a free vps for me for some lightning store that I wrote
arubi 2017-01-10 09:16:32
you.. buy cats, and you use netcat over tor to connect :)
arubi 2017-01-10 09:17:19
I'm just so bored with running it locally. maybe if people use it for tests then I'll go back to tinker with it :)
Teroxice 2017-01-10 09:17:20
any knows the RPC to check an address balance?
arubi 2017-01-10 09:17:48
Teroxice, there isn't one really. you have to install a special patch for that
arubi 2017-01-10 09:18:25
listreceivedbyaddress will tell you the inputs, but not total balance
Teroxice 2017-01-10 09:19:40
Lets say I send you an address so you could pay me x amount of bitcoins.. and I send three more persons a different address for them to pay a different amount of bitcoins.. Since all the address are from the same wallet.. I would like to know who did the payment.
Teroxice 2017-01-10 09:19:50
its there a way of know it that?
arubi 2017-01-10 09:22:12
from the command line? not thet I know. I think you can specify some note when you generate a new address in the gui..
arubi 2017-01-10 09:23:00
s/thet/that
Teroxice 2017-01-10 09:23:19
yes from the command line
arubi 2017-01-10 09:24:07
yea so right now there isn't a very good way to append some metadata to an address, that I know.
arubi 2017-01-10 09:25:13
some tried to use the "accounts" thing for that, it's not very easy to keep track of if you're not aware of all the silly things it can cause.. I think "labels" are going to be introduced to core eventually
Teroxice 2017-01-10 09:25:19
so how does the people that sell stuff on the internet with bitcoins know that someone pays them?
arubi 2017-01-10 09:26:05
well if you give each payer a different address then it's easy to listreceivedbyaddress and see if the address is funded
Teroxice 2017-01-10 09:26:41
yes thats the Idea.. to send to each one a different and unique address
Teroxice 2017-01-10 09:26:56
so what is the RPC for that?
arubi 2017-01-10 09:28:07
so keep track of who got which address, and '-cli listreceivedbyaddress '. if it returns enough txs, then you know it's paid
arubi 2017-01-10 09:28:48
normally you'd get one tx incoming to each address, as you'd be giving different addresses to each payer each time, so it's not so hard to track "this address"
arubi 2017-01-10 09:29:35
Teroxice, there's also 'walletnotify' and 'blocknotify' to push this information to you instead of you querying it
Teroxice 2017-01-10 09:30:13
thats sound interesting.. and how does it works?
belcher 2017-01-10 09:30:23
although since the bitcoin network moves on a fairly slow timescale, just polling can work pretty well
arubi 2017-01-10 09:30:24
so you can have 'walletnotify' to tell you about an address being funded, then either 'walletnotify' again and again with it replaced, or blocknotify+walletnotify together to tell you it's mined
Teroxice 2017-01-10 09:31:15
nice
arubi 2017-01-10 09:31:24
Teroxice, wallet/blocknotify are arguments to bitcoind where you specify a command to run when the event happens (wallet is updated or block arrives)
Teroxice 2017-01-10 09:31:25
is that an RPC command?
Teroxice 2017-01-10 09:31:39
the waletnotify and blocknotify?
arubi 2017-01-10 09:31:42
so I just point to a script to run, and that script has some things in it to do
arubi 2017-01-10 09:31:51
they're flags for bitcoind
arubi 2017-01-10 09:32:04
in bitcoin.conf or given as -flags=
Teroxice 2017-01-10 09:33:29
thanks arubi!! you are always there to help!!
Teroxice 2017-01-10 09:33:36
you have helped me before
Teroxice 2017-01-10 09:33:40
and now again!
arubi 2017-01-10 09:33:46
np Teroxice :), welcome
afartinglog 2017-01-10 09:40:42
hi, i'm somewhat new to BTC
afartinglog 2017-01-10 09:40:52
is a 20$ fee normal for trying to send 100$?
abpa 2017-01-10 09:41:11
Fees depend on the transaction data byte size, not on output amount
afartinglog 2017-01-10 09:42:25
do i change that by changing dynamic fees?
cbits 2017-01-10 09:44:27
depends. How many inputs?
luke-jr 2017-01-10 09:44:31
afartinglog: you change that by your income
luke-jr 2017-01-10 09:44:42
if people pay you in pennies, that's a lot of pennies to make $100
cbits 2017-01-10 09:44:42
has nothing to do with value, but size of transaction
