bitcoin/bitcoind uses almost 150mb RAM and the memory usage rises every day.
Any way to lower the usage or am i just doing something wrong? Guessing it has something to do with latest block being stored in memory or something, is there a way to prevent this?

Thanks, Daniel.

Someone could just check for transactions going to "1FkJj2oqHhyaMTkqaGCLb3CzBWVYpDENYb" through blockexplorer and then message you that they are the person who sent the bitcoins. Make users PM you or post their address here before they send the bitcoins is recommended.

Any chance of EU shipping?  Ramen are almost ~1$ here and i consume ALOT, om nom nom.

Wasn't really sure if it should go in here or bitcoin discussion. This is probaly more useful for forum threads or places you can't use php or other languages though. For websites i would recommend removing all lines after $ppbtc and then use echo $ppbtc; where you want to display the price.

Gets your (input price/sell price@mtgox) and puts it in a small png img.

Example
Output: 100 usd = bitcoins.
Just change the usd=100 part to what amount of usd you want converted to btc. My url is not guaranteed to work in the future and it's hosted on a weak vps, if you plan to use this for serious things please download the source and set it up for yourself.

If you're using guiminer, try the -f flag (higher number = less usage, -f 100 is about 92% i believe)
If you're using phoenix, try the aggression flag (AGGRESSION=1 to 12, 1 being the lowest, 12 being the highest afaik, try somewhere about 5-6 to get 90% usage)

Even more retard-proof guide:
In guiminer, type -f 120 in the "flags"-box.
In phoenix, type AGGRESSION=5 at the end of the command.

Almost all miners have flags to lower usage, just look in the threads for info.

Sure youre not hiding file extensions or something just to make it look like it's really named bitcoin.conf and not bitcoin.conf.txt or something like that?

Try using this .conf http://solidfiles.net/d/ac5c/

1. Download namecoin
2. Run namecoind.exe through cmd, personally i just make a .bat file in the same directory and put in it.
3. Wait a few seconds, then turn it off (if it doesn't turn off itself).
4. Create a bitcoin.dat in your namecoin data folder (located in C:\Users\****\AppData\Roaming\Namecoin in win7 afaik)
5. Edit bitcoin.dat and put the following information in it:
6. Run namecoind.exe (or the .bat if you created one) again and let it be up again
7. Start an instance of cmd and type "cd path/to/namecoind/" (path/to/namecoind/ to be edited ofcourse).
8. Type namecoind help to get a list of commands.
"Core" commands:
help : Show all commands available.
getnewaddress : Create a new namecoin address.
sendtoaddress : Send namecoins to someone (sendtoaddress <address> <amount>).
getbalance : Shows how many namecoins you have.

Two simple scripts to display some statistics from mtgox, not much more to say really.
These scripts will work without the json extension installed, you only need php to be able to use this.

Mtgoxtrade
Desctiption: Fetches https://mtgox.com/code/data/getTrades.php and convert some data into variables for easier usage. (Don't include this on a highly visited page since it uses alot of resources (because mtgox's gettrades.php is a huge file)
Example page
Download
Usage:
Include mtgoxtrade.class to your php file and use the following variables:
$price(x) Get the price of the x'th last transaction (x=0 will get the latest transaction, x=99 will get the 100th last transaction)
$avgprice(x) Gets the average price of the last x transaction (x=99 will give you the avg of last 100 transactions)
$high Gets you the "high" of how many transactions you specified to read (changed with the $chunk variable inside mtgoxtrade.class)
$low Same as $high but for lowest transaction

There's also some variables that you can change in the .class file, just read the commented lines to see what they do.


Mtgoxtick
Description: Fetches https://mtgox.com/code/data/ticker.php and convert some data into variables for easier usage. Use this instead of Mtgoxtrade if what you're looking for is provided by this script since it uses alot less resources.
Example page
Download
Usage:
Include mtgoxtick.class to your php file and use the following variables:
$high Gets the "high" from mtgox (in usd) (last 24hrs i believe? not sure).
$low Gets the "low" from mtgox (in usd).
$vol Gets the volume of money in the market right now (in btc)
$buy Gets the highest buy price (in usd).
$sell Gets the loewst sell price (in usd)
$last Gets the price of the last bitcoin sold (in usd)

If you like this or use this, please donate to 1Awyxgawq52mkYmiAQ9v4sLPXxStVsSGy8 (even a bitcent would be nice)

Don't believe they are scamming (yet). Very good design on the site makes me think they're here to stay for a while atleast. The thing is that there's not a high volume so you'll only get a few coins/usd of exchange worth.

Not sure if trustworthy.

You actually have to spam to be able to post in other forums.

Yes, calling it spam since there is no discussion value over here and when most people get over 5 posts they never return. The goddamn forum is "Newbies", should we discuss "Newbies" here or just make random posts with no real value like this one?

tl;dr: Almost nothing of interest to discuss here, there are better ways to prevent spam than this.

Wanted to post sources to a simple phpscript that checks current and avg mtgox rate just to find out that i cannot post new threads
