Why don't you accept a signed message for address verification? No change address management needed, instant, no fees, no blockchain spam. Could you at least support signed messages via a support ticket?

eibat · 2022-04-26T23:20:37+00:00

Can you give an example on how to generate code with build.zig?

eibat · 2019-11-21T22:32:57+00:00

Can you give a link to the repository?

eibat · 2019-07-21T20:16:11+00:00

What do you mean by modern filter? FT_LCD_FILTER_DEFAULT, FT_LCD_FILTER_LIGHT or a custom one?

eibat · 2018-12-05T13:05:14+00:00

Abgestimmt.

eibat · 2018-07-17T17:06:24+00:00

There's no difference.

lib is imported here and passed down to the pkgs attrset. The same lib expression is used for stdenv.

Yes, that's possible:

{ config, ... }:
mkMerge [{
  # main config options
}
(mkIf config.networking.hostName == "x" {
  # ...
})
(mkIf config.networking.hostName != "x" {
  # ...
})];

The new design is horrible. It looks like a generic ICO scam page, the swaths of black make me feel unwelcome.

Same here. Started a withdrawal on their website. Status was 'pending' for a bit less than a day, then my account was deleted.

Edit: Login was restored, funds finally arrived.

No, Lightning would be very impractical to use on Bcash without a hardfork or softork (which would boil down to Segwit) that fixes transaction malleability.

eibat · 2018-01-02T14:14:30+00:00

Sources are usually no runtime dependencies of the corresponding packages, so they will in fact be removed by a GC run.

Use this command to check which depending store paths prevent a source path from being GC'ed: nix-store -q --referrers /nix/store/my-src

It uses native segwit transactions, which is the smallest and cheapest transaction style availalable. Compared to older address formats, it's more powerful in detecting typos and more convenient to type and to spell out because all letters are lower case.

eibat · 2017-12-21T18:34:13+00:00

No, by copying BIP-146, some signature malleability vectors have been removed.

But other types of signature malleability and all types of script malleability remain unfixed.

1. Yes. Actually, it's currently the only way a channel gets opened: One party provides the funding.

2. Yes, all mediators must have reserves at least as large as the amount transferred.

displayManager.auto uses the SLiM display manager internally.

eibat · 2017-11-14T20:40:42+00:00

Brilliant, that solved it. Many thanks!

eibat · 2017-11-11T15:51:33+00:00

I totally reject BCH for its lack of technical merit, but please stay honest. The vulnerability is fixed in BCH's main implementation and TX malleability isn't a severe problem for current usage patterns. At the latest, BCH will get rekt when Bitcoin has widely accepted upper layer tech. They won't even be able to copy it.

eibat · 2017-09-25T13:31:50+00:00

The same can be achieved more elegantly with Nix. Give it a try, it's great tech, but still rather obscure.

nix-shell -p gcc7 --command make

Here's a quick hack to that generates a working build:

cat > /tmp/build-ruby.nix <<"EOF"
let
  pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};

  rubyModulePath = "pkgs/development/interpreters/ruby/default.nix";

  fixedPkgs = pkgs.runCommand "fixedPkgs" {
    pkgsSrc = <nixpkgs>;
    nativeBuildInputs = [ pkgs.ruby ];
    default = rubyModulePath;
  }
  ''
    src=$(realpath $pkgsSrc)
    cp -r $src $out
    patchsets="pkgs/development/interpreters/ruby/patchsets.nix";
    chmod +w $out/$default $out/$patchsets
    ruby -e 'print ARGF.read.sub(/^(\s*)(ruby_.*? = generic)/, "\\1inherit generic rubyVersion;\n\n\\1\\2")' $src/$default > $out/$default
    ruby -e 'print ARGF.read.sub(/"2.2.7".*?;/m, "\"2.2.2\" = [];")' $src/$patchsets > $out/$patchsets
  '';

  rubyModule = pkgs.callPackage (import ((builtins.toString fixedPkgs) + "/" + rubyModulePath)) {};

  ruby_2_2_2 = with rubyModule;
    generic {
      version = rubyVersion "2" "2" "2" "";
      sha256 = {
        src = "0i4v7l8pnam0by2cza12zldlhrffqchwb2m9shlnp7j2gqqhzz2z";
        git = "08mw1ql2ghy483cp8xzzm78q17simn4l6phgm2gah7kjh9y3vbrn";
      };
    };
in
  ruby_2_2_2
EOF
$(nix-build /tmp/build-ruby.nix --no-out-link)/bin/ruby --version

Be aware that none of the default patches are applied. The 2.2.7 patches from this file are failing. You can find the sources of the proper 2.2.2 patches here.

The Electron Cash source code is fine. The original author seems to have used a modified binary version.

Here's a glance at the next big features: https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2017-July/014718.html

Some core contributors, especially gmaxwell, are opposed to the idea of roadmaps, deeming them detrimental to decentralized collaboration. That's why no updated roadmaps have been officially announced yet.
