I suspect that there is something fundementally flawed in the activity calculation since new people can rise rapidly to hero status and people who have been here almost a year are stuck with Sr. status.  There's something fundamentally flawed in your understanding of it. You can only get a max activity of 14 per two week period, so newer members will only rise faster if they've posted in all those those periods and you haven't. so then, no account newer than 68 weeks should have 5 coins?  EDIT: looking at the membersip list i see where i was confused. now my question is, "Where have all the Heroes gone?" https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=mlist;sort=ID_GROUP;desc;start=60 |

Gee, the Gov. could do this, and the Gov. could do that. the US is a country of laws and laws specify what the Gov. can and can't do. One thing the Gov. can't do is operate as a business or compete with a private enterprise. The things that people who don't know what they are talking about say, geesh.  |

What is the chance of having a 3-month pool luck at 97.29% when btcguild is the 2nd/3rd largest pool?
It must be pretty low I guess, right?
Eligius, a little under BTCG, is at 95% for 90 days. Someone is having good luck, and it doesn't seem to be any of the big pools. M Size has nothing to do with Luck. If someone is having bad Luck, it does not imply that someone else is having good Luck. Luck does not balance out, it just averages out over time. Luck is just that, Luck. |

New release: 4.2.3, 3rd April 2014
- Solo miners can now add their own signature of up to 32 characters to the coinbase with the --btc-sig option.
Great! Thanks. It appears that spaces aren't allowed. Are there any other characters that aren't allowed, that you may know of? Spaces are allowed, you just have to quote the signature. Good info. Thanks The --btc-sig was missed in the readme altogether. Sounds like it is time for me to set up a solo miner. I'm totally about getting my name all over the internet. |

Is bitcoin an investment or is a currency ? There is no reason for these two things to be mutually exclusive. People invest in currencys every day.  |

hello I'm new to bitcoin and I'm having an issue on the bitcoincz or slush's pool. I've been mining on my Samsung galaxy fame but nothing is being reflected on my account. it is saying 0 shares but I've been mining for two days according to my mining app I should have at least four shares already. please can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong!
Mining on a PC does not produce enough hash power to be correctly be displayed. you are being lost in variance and rounding error. Don't wear out your PC for nothing. |

I suspect that the current problems or changes has thrown off the estimated hashrates. or, somebody threw a 25% hashrate gain my way. Speed estimates should be taken with a grain of salt after any kind of outage. It can cause....weird things to show up. I figured as much, thought i would mention it so others wouldn't panic. |

Really? If anyone knew who it was, would it be unknown? Actually, it isn't one, but many. It is a grouping of all unidentified miners. |

To the contrary. Now that I can label my mining hardware in the guest room " ASIC Mining Solutions " or some other nonsense and use that room and all the facilities and all the hardware as a write off....I'm going to. Coincidentally, I'll also be operating at a loss which will then in turn allow me even greater tax write offs. Also thinking about writing off my pool fees as "union dues". Because of the IRS I can now claim that I have a second job.
FYI the IRS will decide you are no longer a business if your loss gets too high... meaning those deductions stop. The IRS says you have to make a profit 3 out of 5 years to be a business. Take a loss for the first 2 the go out of business. |

I am on it now. I am going to get up a news article in the new hour or so to get the news out about it. I will post the link here when it goes live. This definitely needs word to get out. I can't help but wonder, if you sign this are you saying "hey, IRS, look at me and my taxes". right. if you clicked the link they already sent helicopters to you I wondered what all the air traffic was all about. |

If you have powerful rig
you can try solo mining
If not, mining with pool is more efficient
Unless your rig is so small that it gets lost in the pool's rounding error. then the solo/lottery ticket is the way to go. you have nothing to lose. |

None of the above. I Mine as a hobby because it amuses me. |

Automatic Payout Batch #32804 failed to send yesterday. The payout has been removed from the payment history for any users included in that batch and it will resend shortly. MS also mining bitcoin ?
Doubtful. The IP may be an Azure server that has an extremely good connection to the network + blockchain.info, meaning they are the first source of some blocks that blockchain.info sees. The relay IP blockchain.info shows is not the SOURCE of a block, its the first node that informed them about a block. Or maybe some MS peon's BTC wallet. |

If your expenses exceed your income it is generally considered a hobby. As for the price at the time you mine being your income, I think that would only be true if BTCs were money. If i dig gold out of the ground and put it on a shelf is there a tax liability? Probably not until you transfer it, or as i think of it, moneify(moneyfy? make it money, determine it's true value) it. If i mine bitcoins they aren't, in my opinion, taxable until i either spend them or sell them for fiat. At that time they are taxable at the current 15% capital gains rate. Of course, the expense of acquiring them is deductible then.
I suspect that this will only really affect the big guys, the little home miners shouldn't have an issue. And, in my opinion, the big guys deserve headaches the way they run the difficulty up.
