I have not seen any example yet of bitcoin being effected by an geo-political or geo-financial situation.
I don't expect one anytime soon either.

Yeah, that's a great banner to be protesting under. That stupidity even bests itself with this:
http://www.usdayofrage.org/our-principles.html
1. Non Violence
US Day of Rage is non violent. Violence is behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something. Please see resources for information about how to organize and practice non-violent resistance and civil disobedience.WE ARE OUTRAGED! But we're not really going to do anything about it other than maybe hold signs, make noise, and possible get in a few people's way. We are calling for outrage, but we're not going to take responsibility if you're actually really enraged. The real problem today is people don't say what they mean or mean what they say. The world is so buried in politically correctness, managerial speak, and just plain complete and utter bullshit that people are actually stupid enough to think they are making any bit of difference by doing this stuff. Just like George Carlin said, American's like their bullshit right out front where they can get a nice deep whiff of it. The phrase wasn't coined for this protest - it has a history: http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/02/18/6079054-where-does-the-term-day-of-rage-come-fromThe lineage is irrelevant. It's hollow and all the fake outrage lately is pathetic. Save the 'Day of Rage' for when people are actually ready to sack and burn the Capital and Treasury, not stand on the lawn and yell at it. |

Have you set the fan speed manually? The stock fan settings on most card run pretty hot. Try manually setting the fan speed to 80-100% and see if it lowers the temp.
Also most cases do not provide enough airflow to cool cards properly. Try leaving it open and see if that makes a difference.

Depending on which card it is exactly you should be able to set the clock to 875 on a stock card. I had to load a modified BIOS with 1.088 voltage to be able to run 900-975 stably.
Installing the ATI 11.6 Linux drivers (remove fgrlx packages first before installing) will let you set out of bound clock and memory settings with aticonfig.
export DISPLAY=:0
aticonfig --odsc 875,300 --adapter=all

^well, the big buy was at $15
Wouldn't make sense to sell all the coins he bought at $15 for less than $15.
The price went up as high as 15.6. Buy up a lot of coins at 15 sell at 15.5. Rally flails and price falls back. Sell a lot of coins to start a downward slide, buy back at a bottom somewhere. It would make sense, especially since a second rally was attempted at 15.5 and it died on the table. |

Yeah, and there was a big rally yesterday involving a whole lot of cash.
Cash rally one day ... Bitcoing sell off the next ... Coincidence?

Another non bitcoin thread. Admin please move this fed bash trash.
You have no idea how badly the dollar is going to fare in the next few months/years. It is only the beginning. And to the other commenters point - try going into your bank and asking for your entire balance in cash. The answer might surprise you. (Assuming you have more than say, $1,000 in your balance.)1 person asking for $1000 in cash isn't going to make a dent in a bank. 1000 people withdrawing $1000 might be a problem. I have personally taken $5k out of my bank in cash upon asking for it without a problem and I'm positive I could do it anytime. You vastly underestimate the holdings of a bank, they are required to keep a a certain amount of cash on hand just in case. That's why big banks have big safes, and small banks don't. |

It has everything to do with bitcoins. I'd love to ask the exchange operators what percentage of their redemptions are in dollars versus euro, etc..
You can ask, I doubt you will get an answer though.
I'll think you find that the primary monetary flow is into dollars. I'd call that associated and relevant, wouldn't you?
The majority of the coins traded are traded in USD. And no, it's not relevant. Bitcoin exchanges aren't worried about the falling Dollar or Euro, nor do they care about countries going bankrupt except as a punchline. This stuff needs to go to Economics or Politics |

So you are not going to retract your accusation regarding Deepbit accepting botnets?
It's not an accusation; it's a simple hypothesis, given the way some of the biggest business is traditionally done in Russia.  Since Deepbit's terms and technology can be duplicated by any other pool, its persistently incongruous size is suspicious. It will be useful when someone with credible skills and network position figures out the botnet share of that. Deepbit plantation helpers are not a credible source of such info to me...  What is pretty clear to me is that an entity or a group that doesn't have the ethics or greed limit to stop itself from grabbing 40-50% of the worldwide supply of something, would not be above tolerating a friendly botnet to help it continue to do so... It's purely a hypothesis, but he'll follow it with plenty of accusations. Love it. Let's See: Security Troll: Check Paranoid/Conspiracy Troll: Double Check |

How do we send people back to the newbie board? Posting this kind of repetitive alarmist BS should be automatic timeout to the newbie board for a month.
And when will SMF give filtering options so that you can hide all threads not started by 'x' level poster...
Come on man, that's not fair to the newbies! They need to be put in isolation. Maybe time to institue the mod that blocks trolls from posting in threads but still shows their posts in the threads. After 2 or 3 usernames they might get bored and go away or actually become contributory to the forums. Not just threads started, filter any posts at all by a user configured post number. |

You forgot the Paranoid/Conspiracy Troll
-Never believes any proof put forth, Always believes they have the correct answer no matter how wild the claim.
-Anytime a pool or market goes down for the slightest bit of time it MUST be due to a Government Agency making a move on it

I was reading the comments on the weusecoins youtube video yesterday. A lot of people were like "I have a 200 IQ, and I can tell you for certain that bitcoin will never work."
What kind of troll would that be?
The ever dangerous Arrogant/Stupid Troll Hybrid. |

At the least I'm going to bookmark it and start classifying also. Pure economics is boring. This would add a whole new sociology dynamic to the forums. We need a forum mod to rate the troll level and specificity of posts. |

Botnets simply cannot contribute that much. ...
Not true, when the botnet first got noticed and moved to another pool we were able to see it and exactly how many comps were hitting and how much hash power. it was surprisginly high hash for the number of comps. I do not have the info recroded down to verify so one of the pool ops would have to report, but there is a grph I'm willing to bet someone still has that showed the number of zombies hashing and what their rate was. Believe it was something on the order of 60Ghash and only a few thousand comps....... Word! Testify!!! Amen!  If the BtcGuild story is true, BIG UP to them, for having the ethics to do what Deepbit probably doesn't...  Very nice to see they are doing something. Ouch that it apparently is capable of snagging legitimate users as well. Maybe the ip limit is too low verse period of time multiples connect? How many IP's did you have connected, if I may ask? That's proof of the botnet that Deepbit "doesn't have the ethics to block" for people who like to make damning statements without doing any research. |

HYIPs always get DDos'd when they start up. Now, why on earth would the people attack HYIPs?
Obviously, the government does not want people making money or getting ahead. Not necessarily the government but operatives within the gov, working for the CIA or bankers, but mostly just working to keep the rich, rich, and the poor, poor.
When Bitcoin mining gets DDos'd, it tells me, personally, that the people who do not wish others to make money in this way, are the ones who are attacking. I doubt that it's frustrated people. I think it's collaborative among gov agencies, working privately.
Of course it's just a guess and i'm paranoid and always offer up the conspiracy-ended possibility, but you have to look at "where is the motive"? and "who benefits"?
People overlook the fact that central bankers control a whole lot of computers, people and corporations, as well as governments themselves. And then they overlook the fact that doing this would definitely be in their interest.
Just saying, I don't think it's random hackers.
Occam's Razor says it's a botnet hearder that's pissed because they got locked out of the 4 largest polls (and probably more) and is DDOS'ing the pools instead. |
