If it were any country, I would believe it to be australia. And for that reason I suggest that any exchange operators stear clear away from that hell hole of a "Democracy".

They literally ban more than twice the number of video games than the PRC for example.

You cannot purchase what the gov't deems to be "hardcore" pornography.

When I wanted to place bets on Betfair's "Australian" market... basically any bets even RELATED TO australia (placed anywhere in the world) need to be tracked by the australian gambling authority. So I had to fax them individually (on top of faxing all of my info to Betfair) tons of extra information because they are extremely bureaucratic like that.

I even had a friend who swears by not doing business in Australia because of many deals "gone south" many moons ago.

Seriously, be careful doing business in Aussy Land.

And if you sign up within the next 15 minutes.... (our operators are standing by waiting to take your call)

I will throw in a SECOND sign up to CBX, ABSOLUTELY FREE!!

That's TWO signups to CBX for the price of ONE!

As much as my wallet would love to see a Bitcoin ad on the front page of a major newspaper...

My brain hates the idea.

In a sense, that what the early adopters could do with their market power.

Canada already has a GREAT secure, working, cheap (you can withdraw cash to almost any bank with your email address in just 7 hours for $6.50, or $3 directly to a bank account).

They just re-opened their doors today after finalizing all the legal stuff there was to take care of.

I just deposited a bunch a few BTC and everything is going great.

I do still encourage XRcode to build his own exchange however. We can always use another!

Just like "they" did with the pools.

When somebody got out of line (when a pool got too large of a hashing share percentage compared to the network) then they would be miraculously attacked, DDoSd, taken offline, whatever... while lots of the smaller pools received no beatings.

Now it seems as though pool DDoSing has died down for the most part as nobody really has a large enough share of the network hashing rate to warrant anybody to worry as far as I know.

These last few glitches with MtGox don't add up to a whole lot other than a financial company making some very very strange (almost unexplainable) errors that inevitably end up driving more market share to places like TradeHill.com, CaVirtex.com, Etc...

Maybe we should just do as they want us to do to speed this whole thing along and stop dragging Bitcoin's credibility through the mud (by making MtGox repeatedly come up with odd/random errors).

/conspiracy theory ramblings

Agreed.

This is true for a lot of my friends. Anyone who is invested (most of them) is all excited about the idea. Anybody who was really interested and excited (but didn't have the money to invest) is now souring to the idea. Fortunately, not that many people in the world know about Bitcoin yet!

That is quite odd indeed.

Just curious... a block chain alone could never really be "tampered" with right? I mean if it was anything other than the official block chain, the client wouldn't recognize anything... right?

Go to a trading exchange.

If that trading exchange doesn't offer service to your country or type of payment, ask them why.

They probably want to know.

Load up windows on the system (if it is not already).

Download and install RBE.

Edit the BIOS through RBE and flash the BIOS of the card using winatiflash (it is all explained on the RBE FAQ page).

You simply need to change the high/red level settings on one of the gpu core clocks to exactly what you want it to be while mining. I recomment 925core/300mem for good stability.

You have 3 terminal windows running in a desktop version of ubuntu, I assume?

You cannot SSH directly into a terminal window so far as I know, but you can ssh directly into a "machine" and then open up as many terminal windows as you would like in the background using screen.

You have to have openssh installed and port 22 open on the machine you want to log in with. Then you can simply dial up the ip address (with putty or another ssh client of your choice).

Type screen to enter screen. Hit CTRL+C to "create" a new window. You can make as many as you would like.

What OS are you running?

What version of bitcoin/bitcoind are you running?

Try upgrading both to the latest versions first and report back. The Bitcoin client is still in beta/testing mode, remember. We still have a long way to go before a "1.0 final" release.

Just because you are showing 0 confirmations does not mean that mtgox is showing 0 confirmations.

Try logging into your mtgox account, it should be there by now.

You and me both, brother!

Why even create them at all though to begin with I guess is my question? If you are already making exact copies of them in your mysql database that you can clean by "timestamp" much easier?

If I simply remove those two lines from the server.json file, is everything going to explode?

I love the blatant attempt at scoring some free bitcoins for providing the answer to a super simple (and common) problem. Good work.

On a side note I would like to discourage this sort of thing (helping people only for the sake of getting something in return).

If the forums turn into that by default we will all become bankers, not bitcoiners.

System updates perhaps (but you would expect the computer to restart if that were the case).

Perhaps you have bad power coming from your wall? How old is your building/area?
