oh poo poo can you clog the mempool by pretending to give away bitcoins? like post a real address with a fake private key and have people claw at each other to try and spend it?

doesn't the fact that people are going to be creating transactions which are 99% fees mean that the blockchain spam is going to be much harder to circumvent this time around? in the last stress test you could just set your tx fees a little higher and still get to the head of the queue, but here fees are going to be really high on all the spam transactions. and most of those high fee transactions willl never actually go anywhere because they're all double spends
I don't know if this sort of attack is enough transactions to fill the blocks up that low fee transactions are significantly delayed. Sure lots of people are spamming transactions to the pool but this time only one of them has to go in the block and all the other transactions from that are invalidated. If the blocks are filling up then yes you are right.

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.
i am at the nearby library, about to check out "good prose: the art of nonfiction" by the two guys who wrote "the soul of a new machine", one of the best pieces of writing about technology ever published, waiting for my wife to get back from the art books

the very first paragraph is about establishing trust with the reader by assuming them to be of equal intelligence. i think i'm on the right track here, i just have to not rush this

This is going in the book, hopefully?

maybe? i don't think this counts as a scam but it might fit in the chapter that's basically "bitcoin itself is a meta-scam because everything good about it is a lie"

“A big part of the value of this project will not be in direct revenues, but in brand recognition,” DPR writes, according to a message found in the email account. “Google makes the vast majority of its revenues from ppc ads, but still maintains world-class free email for everyone because it brings them into their ecosystem. Silk Mail will hopefully do the same for Silk Road, which will likely continue to be our primary revenue source.”

The team can “throw $20k/month at this,” DPR wrote, before suggesting, “Silk Phone anyone???”

I'll sit the rest of this mess out. I think Coinwallet will still face charges, because they can't credibly claim they have no responsibility for what is happening. It's like dumping bushel baskets of coins out on a busy road and trying to claim that the resulting carnage and mayhem is not their fault, just the fault of all the pedestrians and drivers involved.

p sure you can derive public keys from private keys trivially, so it's just a matter of getting the public key and checking the ~BLOCKCHAIN~.

people would probably fall for it, though, especially if they went with a scraper script they cranked out in five minutes to demand money from any private key.

the way bitcoin works, though, they'd have to ask for less than the balance in the tx. the remainder goes to a tx fee, instead of back into the address as you'd assume.

anyone know if nodes going down from this kind of DDOS is a positive feedback thing? i'd think it would be if they work how I think (less nodes = more clients asking the nodes for recent transactions = more stress)

transaction number means nothing still. all that matters is mempool size, which is 94MB right now, it got to 300MB in the last stress test and they intend for it to go to 1GB this time.

I saw a post saying only ~20 btc had been released so far. are they still posting keys?

didn't their stress test only do 10 or 20% of their original claim too?
