I wanted to make a topic like this but thought fuck it.

Really, this should be stickied. Since Paypal doesn't allow BTC transactions, why should it work the other way around?

Something that allows chargebacks can't work with BTC.

Just tell all members on trading boards to avoid PP like the plague.

If you still have any this is a price I'm fine with.
1203  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What price is high enough? on: June 08, 2011, 10:01:56 AM
I'm not selling before 1000$ per BTC. I like the concept and I like having bitcoins, so I'll keep them unless I can really make real money selling them.

Same, except I've set a threshold at $100.

I have enough reserves that this price would give me a few million dollars in any western fiat currency. Even at current rates I could prob. buy a pretty nice house, a lambo or some other item.

But more power to you if it really does rise to such levels (or even higher). I fully commend you for your patience.

random things

Why is it that every time there is a publiclity spike or a price spike, bitter fuckwads like you who never owned any BTC and are too poor to buy any mining equipment, come preaching on the forums about how it's all going to crash and we're all going to die?

Hint: It's happened dozens of times. You're not the first. And they always disappear/vanish after a few weeks.

If a wire or payment takes 7+ working days then yes they fucked up.

Before that it's a completely acceptable timeframe and I wouldn't email them yet.

I've gotten payments ranging anywhere from 1 working day to 6 days, but it always arrived.

You know there are some bitcoin ballers out there with over 100,000 bitcoins that would probably chomp on this offer.

Is it really worth it?

At current rates it could even be a big mistake for the buyer if the price climbs to $30-$50 per BTC soon when difficulty rises.

Even if you have a lot it could turn out in you losing out hundreds of thousands in a short timeframe.

Holy tap dancing jesus we just touched 22 Cheesy

Yeah, I noticed that. I was by pure coincidence depositing BTC on Mt.Gox just an hour ago.

While waiting for it to confirm & show up on their end price went up 4 bucks.

Not overly ecstatic as it was to be expected with the difficulty increase, but still ok.

Happens every once in a while, it's just delayed.

Reload the stats page in about 1 minute and your reward will be there.
1211  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to transfer bitcoins from slush's pool on: June 07, 2011, 08:41:27 PM
No, a wallet is created with the bitcoin client.

Slush just owns a pool for mining BTC that pays out rewards into your wallet. I prefer it in the long term over solo mining.

Don't panic just yet though, you said it went to an old address. That means you likely already saved a BTC address on slush's site (very doubtful that you would have entered anything else there).

It will appear into your bitcoin wallet within 5 mins to 1 hour usually.

1212  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to transfer bitcoins from slush's pool on: June 07, 2011, 08:08:49 PM
Log into bitcoin client and create a bitcoin wallet address.

Then copy+paste it in the account details section and press 'save'. Also if you already didn't, then set the payment threshold at 2.0.


The payment script should run every hour or so. The more you withdraw the higher priority it gets, for example 0.05 payments can take hours.

1214  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: cloud computing? on: June 07, 2011, 07:39:29 PM
Almost no cloud computing/cloud research systems offer ATI/AMD cards.

They are usually nVidia tesla/quadro cards. They aren't exactly bad, but for bitcoin mining they are worthless.

1216  Other / Obsolete (selling) / Re: Looking to purchase small quantities of Bitcoin with Western Union/Paypal... on: June 07, 2011, 07:07:07 PM
I've been scammed with WU before, I said it was not foolproof, not that it couldn't work.  If you can find a seller willing to drop his anonimity in order to sell you bitcoins via WU, you should be suspicious if s/he doesn't charge you at least a small premium.

How? Sender gives you password, you withdraw dollar or euro bills at your local WU depo.

When money is physically in your hands and you go home, send BTC to the guy who sent you WU.

Nobody can take it away from you and it can't be fake money because it comes from the local Western Union, not the sender himself.

If money doesn't arrive, don't send BTC.
1217  Other / Obsolete (selling) / Re: Looking to purchase small quantities of Bitcoin with Western Union/Paypal... on: June 07, 2011, 05:56:53 PM
Good luck with that.

WU is actually foolproof, just send the BTC once his money clears at the office and the money is in your hands.

PayPal on the other hand... Total shit due to chargebacks.

Gonna be hard to resell video cards that are covered in mineral oil....

And yeah, just submerging a computer in oil won't do anything.  You need something to keep it cool.  Peltiers are/were popular for this task before.

If you resell a card then you are obviously going to dry the card or other components. As mineral oil will not damage the circuitry nobody can ever know how you cooled it. There are guides online on how to clean mineral oil from components.

Liquid submersion into mineral oil will cool the system adequately given the ambient temperature stays reasonably low.

There are hosting companies and large research labs (even government agencies) that use oil cooling because it costs much less than air conditioning.

1220  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: What will be the difficulty in 3-4 weeks time on: June 07, 2011, 05:12:35 PM
Between 750000 and 1.3 million.

Nice range.  Cheesy

I know, but should be pretty accurate. If I were to strictly narrow it down I'd estimate 1.1m to 1.3m. The 750 is a very optimistic estimate that will prob. break in next difficulty.
