If Bitcoin were to add options to manage power settings, then that would also be adding complexity to the project which I think would generally be beyond the scope of what Bitcoin is.
< Randolf>
provoostenator: There are some hardware configurations which can "wake up" the machine when network traffic is received, but since Bitcoin has a constant flow of data even this would in effect be pointless.

Randolf: the PR is tracking patch-3, https://github.com/randolf/bitcoin looks to have the single commit on top of master I think?
< esotericnonsense>
this is kind of a bitcoin question but kind of not. what's the trick to make bitcoin-qt not appear as a postage stamp on ubuntu with high dpi screens?
< Randolf>
I have extra hardware and a Windows Vista license I could throw together to see if Bitcoin works on it.
< Randolf>
There probably are people using Bitcoin on Windows 7. Windows Vista, I suspect, likely isn't used for much these days.

When sending a bip-70 payment, bitcoin core sent to regular address instead of p2sh, hexdump of script is 76A9142AFD057FD359FC1C180B177D05F1B4191867471A88AC

And if you want to change the bitcoin logo to a purple elephant and denominate coins in 'fluppydoodleblurz' from now on, go ahead and release a wallet that does that, use that on your sites, make a BIP, etc. By nature, bitcoin is permissionless.
< wumpus>
if you want a serious answer: some things (such as naming, branding) are too trivial to be concerned with here. There's as many opinions on it as bitcoin users. You can fork the source code today and change the name (it's a constant in configure.ac FWIW) or use luke-jr's Bitcoin Knots. If there is no agreement on changing something, the best thing is just to stick with what is there.
< booyah>
wumpus: speaking about the future, will the bitcoin wallet be returning to name "bitcoin" instead "bitcoin core"?
< esotericnonsense>
bitcoin 0.8 was not 'bitcoin core' :D
< echeveria>
booyah: let’s take this to #bitcoin please.
< wumpus>
if their point is that bitcoin core's contributors make mistakes, then they are right
< booyah>
it is also the most known security event (or 1 of like 3) used NOW to prove that bitcoin core is incompetent
< echeveria>
ie, you could create unlimited bitcoin out of thin air and spend anybodies bitcoin.
< echeveria>
satoshis bitcoin 0.1 was more vulnerable in a pile of ways. there’s lots of things that aren’t understood well.
< booyah>
I'm asking also since there're idiots in -otc claiming that is "bitcoin core fault"
< booyah>
wumpus: so all released versions of Bitcoin, including Satoshi's release, were vulneable?
< j0hnson2412>
all this work to figure out why a billion dollar payment gateway with no contact doesn't work, bitcoin is the future
< j0hnson2412>
finally got the bitcoin script extracted from the paymentdetails, but it's in some weird python mix of ascii and escaped octal..

yes, bitcoin core will prefer using the payment protocol over the raw address
< j0hnson2412>
does the bitcoin: uri scheme work ok with segwit addresses? i sent a payment with it and the actual transfer goes to a different address
< eklitzke>
so i don't quite understand what is the situation where you would get 1024 network sockets in your bitcoin process

if I have a CPubKey via GetPubKey() and I do a Hash(pubkey.begin(), pubkey.end()) on it I'm not getting the right hash (I'm using http://gobittest.appspot.com/Address to compare). What function should I use to hash a pubkey with SHA256, like bitcoin core does it for addresses (in the first step)?

Probably not the best solution, but the easiest way without trusting GitHub is to link the email to the bitcoin org?

are there potentially license issues with porting bitcoin core code to other languages (e.g. bitcoinj with apache license)?

Nora: There's the Lightning Network (LN). You should look into that (and SegWit). And feel free to ask about LN in the #bitcoin channel.

Not sure how this chat works, but just putting an idea out there: maybe somebody can create a service that works alongside Bitcoin so that transactions can be instantaneous for purchases. That is basically what is holding it back from it being adopted. Who wants to wait to purchase an item. It can be used for purchases under a certain amount of money. Perhaps the user with a wallet will have to load
