if the blocks aren't valid, then don't call fork_check on them.

Negative Reputation

Not sure if this is an artifact from an incompletely downloaded blockchain, but, here's the CLI:

$ ./truth_cli.py info my_address
{u'count': 20, u'votes': {}, u'votecoin': {u'international': -123, u'random': 1296, u'elections': 0}, u'amount': 1890000, u'shares': {}}

Double-posting this at https://github.com/scottzer0/Truthcoin-UI. Snapped a pic of it too if that helps (attached):

Quotes in decision text are not escaped

Single and double quotes are not escaped when using ./truth_cli.py ask_decision <jury> my_decision_name Pappasito's Grill is delicious -- instead, you get a prompt to enter more info. Suggest parsing quotes ' as \' (and double quotes " as \") instead.

buy_shares tx needs price limitations

it should be invalid if the price is outside the range

Different passwords but the same address

Running truth_cli.py on two separate machines. I'm getting the same address assigned, even though I'm specifying different passwords. The passwords I've tried are:

• funcrusherplus
• sulprehsurcnuf
• DIpbKhfSsr4qAcjujpFVTX91

All of these result in the address 1137hWYZ6vzyfhCWYoHMSw7uYUravTY (displayed using ./truth_cli.py my_address).

KeyError from peers command

$ ./truth_cli.py peers
truthcoin api main failure : (<type 'exceptions.KeyError'>, KeyError('peers_ranked',), <traceback object at 0x1ce7680>)

It would be nice if the miner only mined when there were tx in the mempool to put into the new block.

stop command only stops one Python process

Running ./truth_cli.py stop only stops one of the Python processes; the others have to be killed manually.

Can't create prediction market: "decision is not in the database"

Here is the sequence of commands that led to the error:

What is the address or pubkey of the owner of the PM?
>11wN3DKx8n9uS68VgEtRnSZM3PWUZND
What is the unique name for this new prediction market?
>bitcoinpricepm
how big should B be? Initial investment is B*ln(n) where n is the number of states
>250000
how many decisions is this prediction market to be based upon?
>1
What is the unique name of the 0 decision?
>bitcoin_350
how many states can this PM result in?
>2
what is the text title of the 0 state?
>yes
how does the 0 state depend upon the outcome of the decisions? For example: if there are 2 decisions, and this market only comes true when the first is "yes" and the second is "no", then you would put: "1 0" here.
>1
what is the text title of the 1 state?
>no

logging is not thread safe

there should be a logging thread.

peer_check should have an http interface as well

then it would be easier to make javascript web wallets.

front-runner prevention

buy_shares needs a POW component.

the ability to turn the mining power down low

any vote must block the coins from being sent until svd is over

difficulty command failing

truthcoin api main failure : (<type 'exceptions.NameError'>, NameError("global name 'target' is not defined",), <traceback object at 0x10d1ee830>)

/pc uses floats, which are not deterministic.
