Definitely not legit:
- Account inactive from 2011 until today.
- Identical donation solicitation spam in several (necroed) threads.
- The donation address in the picture (payb.tc/svetlana) does not match the one in the forum spam (payb.tc/svetlana69)

Reported. Mods will hopefully be arriving with the banhammer shortly.

at least he could've scammed a better picture.

When you tried using linux did you use cgminer to control your OC or ati utilities? Once I had a handle on getting the drivers installed properly and using cgminer to control the GPU OC's I have had a way more stable setup then any attempts at mining with windows.

what dependencies does cgminer require in Ubuntu?

how's the security of a router stand up to that of running cgminer in linux?
All the routers in question here are Linux. And if someone can break into your router, they can bypass it entirely. So the security of the network depends on the security of the router itself.

but if you're running ufw in linux in addition to the router firewall, wouldn't you get a layering effect of security?

good question.  i'm not sure i even have the wallet out of which the original 800 BTC or so came out of.  he was selling Ubitex shares for 1BTC/share.  i sold a few shares to take it down to 750 BTC or so that i remember initially. this was last year somewhere around May before the ramp to $32 when the price was around $5-6.  nefario mediated the tx.  that's how i got to know him.  nefario's a decent guy with the right intentions but just not a good businessman.

the funds went into cuddlefish's personal acct which he supposedly held for Ubitex.   several of us got fleeced; boonies4U, noagendamarket, Lightrider are the ones i remember off hand.  i suppose i could go back and dig it out if it was important.

my gaud man, its so refreshing to have someone posting reasonable shit here.  i've never ventured into these part of the woods until i got banished here and man is it depressing.

yeah, i feel like i'm on Mars or somethin'.   oops, better get back "on topic" bashing hazek or else i might get my comments "split off" and moved to somewhere i can't find myself. Wink

You sound quite pathetic and your English writing skill is terrible.

(This is not an "ad hominem". I am not trying to undermine any argument... You have none.)

this is an example of your tunnel vision apologist attitude.  you can't even recognize when someone resorts to slang.

You are using a compatible Router (in my case I currently use an ASUS RT-16n, I have used a Cisco/Linksys 3000 and 4200v1) - it controls my FPGAs using cgminer, the router uses max 8 watts vs 200watts for a PC
What computer uses 200W at idle? Mine uses 85W, and it's not a small or cheap system. Most laptops will be between 20-30W, and my old netbook used to use 12W.
Good for you, I'm so happy your using power efficient units.

Where did I say idle or laptops?
You did not say idle, but since we're talking about mining with USB devices (and nothing else), the CPU will pretty much be idle the entire time.

My point is just that while DD-WRT is totally kickass, the power savings aren't really all that much.

If the computer is off while your not using it, the small savings add up.

let me make one other point.  what you see at the beginning of the thread is everything i said.  i only had to repost one comment and its clear which one that was.  so what you're seeing now is a complete picture of everything.  just how bad is it?  i'd say except for the "shitty" comment, not too bad at all.  what you see is what was banished here to Meta solely b/c hazek can't take the slightest bit of criticism.

It is very bad. You do not have appropriate arguments to support your endless ranting. E.g., since you have this crave for attention, you have to spam useless posts in another thread:

you are insulting.  what does this have to do with getting attention?  hazek has been caught red handed deleting/censoring posts on two occasions; once directly to me and the other to stan.distortion. read thru the posts from the beginning here.  as i said, the only comment that could be construed as "bad" is the "shitty" comment but that was in reaction to an insult hurled at me by hazek.  it seems you're just as sensitive as he.  if this is your definition of bad you'd better stay away from the Internet otherwise i will continue to hurt your fragile feelings.

I now see I made a big mistake and should have never assumed it is either alright or fair to retroactively set local rules after posts have already been made and apply those rules to those posts.

I apologize to everyone affected by my actions.

WTF?  i just found this thread.  and you two guys have the temerity to justify your actions of censoring my posts with the ad hominem of "off topic"?

You fail to comprehend why moderation is necessary and you do not know the meaning of "ad hominem":


i do understand why moderation is necessary but i don't think it applies to what i said.  btw, here's someone who agrees with my original complaint just so ppl don't think i'm exaggerating when it comes to what Atlas did.  this was in a pm to me:

I agree that Atlas has been making too many topics, and I warned him about that. I'm not going to delete the existing topics.

One of the most widely misused terms on the Net is "ad hominem". It is most often introduced into a discussion by certain delicate types, delicate of personality and mind, whenever their opponents resort to a bit of sarcasm. As soon as the suspicion of an insult appears, they summon the angels of ad hominem to smite down their foes, before ascending to argument heaven in a blaze of sanctimonious glory. They may not have much up top, but by God, they don't need it when they've got ad hominem on their side. It's the secret weapon that delivers them from any argument unscathed.

In reality, ad hominem is unrelated to sarcasm or personal abuse. Argumentum ad hominem is the logical fallacy of attempting to undermine a speaker's argument by attacking the speaker instead of addressing the argument. The mere presence of a personal attack does not indicate ad hominem: the attack must be used for the purpose of undermining the argument, or otherwise the logical fallacy isn't there. It is not a logical fallacy to attack someone; the fallacy comes from assuming that a personal attack is also necessarily an attack on that person's arguments.

now you're resorting to lame criticism?  who's pathetic?  you, i'd say, by bragging about your little VIP and colored coins.

i think that definition is spot on the way i'm using it.  if English writing skills are so important to you, how's this?:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=118086.msg1269864#msg1269864

they need to ban me too since i post "off topic".  or maybe its b/c i criticized hazek.  can't have that.

The thing is the threads weren't all the same.

Could you at least put similar topics in the same thread? I know there is a rule against posting off-topic to the thread at hand, but there is some leniency. Plus, most of your posts are about four words long (you got a whole 9 words in that last post), it is a total waste of a thread to have such a short post taking up the OP.

Here is a great idea: Start a new thread, name it "Topics of interest to Atlas" and post all your one line musings there so they do not crowd the forum.

my gaud man, its so refreshing to have someone posting reasonable shit here.  i've never ventured into these part of the woods until i got banished here and man is it depressing.

You got banished to Meta? Whoa, that's deep.

12777  Other / Meta / Re: Moderator is doing a bad job on: October 14, 2012, 03:55:38 AM

Is it possible to merge threads? When Atlas starts up a bunch of threads, or when something big happens and ten people all start identical threads, could the moderators merge the threads? That way there would not be any censorship, just organization.

The thing is the threads weren't all the same.

Hazek has pruned this thread so that only people who agree with his sentiments have posted. stan.distortion even had a nice, well-thought reply that was in no way trolling.

This is not appropriate behavior for a moderator. If this is policy of the bitcointalk messageboard, there are numerous threads in the economic boards with all kinds of arguments for or against certain economic theory. To my knowledge, hazek has not gone through and pruned the posts which disagree with his point of view in threads he did not start.

oh yes he has:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=118086.0

do i see a pattern here?
