I believe the requests Jeff is seeing came from my crawler although anyone could be running it (https://github.com/ayeowch/bitnodes) since there is no IP address in the log to confirm the source of the requests. This is a sample log of an actual request from my crawler at 148.251.238.178 : *2014-0

I am also seeing these quite bit on my p2pool box. Right now it is just a bit of (mostly) harmless spam but in the future I can see this kind of thing being used in DDOS attacks and "deep scans" to gather information to be used to harm the bitcoin network. We could easily block them but then they

At least my crawler (bitcoin-seeder:0.01) software shouldn't reconnect more frequently than once every 15 minutes. But maybe the two connections you saw were instances? On Wed, Jul 30, 2014 at 3:50 PM, Wladimir wrote: >> The version message helpfully tells me my own IP address but not theirs ;p >

Re: [Bitcoin-development] "On behalf of" BIP 70 extension proposal

That would definitely be a new BIP. But firstly it'd make sense to implement it and make sure that the payment processors intend to use it. Like I said, I wasn't very successful so far in getting them to make useful memo fields. I'm hoping that once wallets start actually recording and displaying

Yes, I was thinking something on the JVM, I have a big interest in Clojure right now (am a long time Java dev, since 1996). I do not know if I want to tackle writing bitcoin in Clojure, but I want to create a tool kit first to learn more about how it works. Caleb On Tue, Jul 29, 2014 at 5:12 PM
