Oooooohhhh good call! I hadn’t considered that, but it’s entirely possible to really use this to screw stuff up. Should be easy enough. I’ll find a good regexp tonight before I send out the links to the testers.
[/quote]Go, Kevlar go! There are a lot of checks to be performed but for start html encoding / stripping slashes / tags and preventing words like “bitcoin: string”, "feathercoin: " will do the job (Phishing is also in game) ! Told you I’m on Link now :)

[/quote][img]http://i.imgur.com/vwMin.gif[/img]I’ve been thinking about what you’ve been saying about transactions that may fail. Is there any way for someone like me to verify if someone submitted but it came out botched?
I’m wanting to pledge like 300 FTC as a refund buffer for the next couple of weeks in order to cover failed attempts in order to remove the fear of finding submissions that may or may not work.

Well…
I’ve not gotten to add xss filtering. When Tuck posts, the name doesn’t show up, but when I do, it does. I’m waiting on DNS propagation.
When I can confirm that DNS works, I’ll be sending PM’s out to people who have donated. Expect something tonight. :)
-
And it’s sent.
If you’ve donated, and you don’t have a link in your inbox, please PM me.
If you do, please go gentle. It’s gonna be easy to break for the next few days. BUT IT WORKS!

Kevlar man your a legend! But I have a question, if this is going to be burning coins what will happen in a few years time when all the coins have been burnt? If thats even possible?
-
It’s entirely possible.
The short answer is: New blockchain.
The long answer is MUCH more interesting.
Because the coins are being destroyed, the existing ones become more valuable. As the rate of deflation increases, the cost of publishing skyrockets until it becomes unfeasible. Also, you’re rich.
But let’s do the math. If 15 bytes is 1 satoshi, there’s 336 million FTC possible. 336,000,000 * 10,000,000 = 3,360,000,000,000,000 bytes. or a little over a little over 3.3 exabytes.
And that the FTC blockchain. What about InifiniteCoin? DogeCoin? NotYetInventedCoin?
I think it’s a problem people will decide how to deal with later. You can’t stop people from spending coins, so it’s a problem for the free market to solve using free market dynamics, like supply and demand.

[/quote]I’ve read about 10 minutes and it’s full of haters irate over the fact that they’ve failed to comprehend what Link is/does and are attacking a red herring [i]they[/i] created in their responses. Too funny.

My favourite is this, from Gavin Andresen himself, who actually didn’t even bother to read about it in detail and just assumed it was intended strictly for Bitcoin.
[sub]Or at least that’s how I understood it. What I don’t understand is how SatoshiDice transaction bloat is OK, but something like this isn’t?[/sub]

Maybe someone should link him to the technical thread where Kevlar steps everything out.
I made a submission. heeeeeeeeeee I’m happy.

[/quote]People rushing to judgement without proper research + a closed social circle sheep mentality.
r/Bitcoin is very circlejerky already.
The good thing is that it has started a discussion.
The seed has been planted. -
Well, I meant I made a submission to the Link project properOMGSOMEONEGOFINDIT
As for /r/Bitcoin itself, give a few days and someone “in” will talk about it and it’ll get proclaimed as the Second Coming of Crust.

[/quote]Nonono, I mean, er, I’m not making myself clear.I’m already using the site proper that Kevlar linked those who contributed to. I made a submission to the blockchain.

[sub]Which, again, I’ll have to reiterate a previous comment I made where I said that the idea of a Bitcoin Foundation is kind of a bad one. It’s showing someone is taking ownership of something that wasn’t meant to be owned or centralized.[/sub]
