I will most likely change that. By default though, if the file paths are correct, the batch files will work without any changes after they drag and drop the .conf file. As for an autoscript, I'll look into it, I have a few programming buddies that might be willing to help.
I assumed things would work, but I also think it's essential that default passwords get changed - otherwise it's too easy to harvest IP addresses and then try connecting with YOURUSERNAME and YOURPASSWORD. Easy to use is good, but easy to crack isn't :-) |

I'm uploading a .zip that I made by using the poclbm GPU miner. It includes the standard file, with all rights and credit to that files creator whose name escapes me right now. But I included a preconfigured bitcoin.conf file as well as batch files to start the bitcoin client in server mode and to start the poclbm client for solo mining. I added a readme file explaining how to do everything! Feedback is appreciated  http://rapidshare.com/files/454552832/poclbmsolo.zipI'd suggest moving the "change your default username and password" sentence from the end to just after you discuss dragging and dropping bitcoin.conf - too easy for a lazy user to miss it, otherwise... :-) What would be really cool would be a bit of auto-magic config so that a user can run a script, enter their username and password, and bitcoin.conf etc gets updated with the username/password they entered. Beyond that, I'm not on Windows so can't really test further but it looks sound and anything to make life easier has to be good. |

I hope this is sarcasm.
Humour. I think the curse at the end may have been the give-away... Even after finding it helpful & refuse to donate me make you fart 100 times/ day. Its a curse, i secretly put with this message.

The only problem here is very trivial amount of money at risk. Should the amount increase, so will increase temptation for a borrower to take money and run. This is not scalable.
Exactly. Time is also really important, how hard is it to build trust over a few days, rip people off and do it again. Still the most important thing to remember is don't invest anything you can't afford to lose. Couple of points: "don't invest anything you can't afford to lose" - absolutely. I could, if worst came to worst, write off the 15 BTC. Re: scalability: yes and no. In terms of loan-size, which I suspect you (Vladimir) are referring to, then yes - absolutely. In terms of "loan book size" (i.e. number of loans) then no: I think this could scale. Re: trust: this is something that the PayPal -> BTC providers have had to consider, and I'd imagine that lessons they've learned would be applicable to BTC lending as well - things like start small, build up trust. Risk assessment would need to consider how well known a borrower was, how much was being borrowed, what the borrower felt they could reasonably repay (and whether the lender believed that!) etc. |

That would be whoever's not happy with early adopters hoarding bitcoins and wants to turn bitcoin into permainflationary currency.
This whole idea of "early adopters" is nonsense. I'm annoyed * at the "early adopters" who managed to accumulate huge quantities of bitcoins while CPU mining was "easy". In 2015 there will be people annoyed at the "early adopters" who got into mining/selling via bitcoin way back in 2012. At the turn of the century kids will be cursing their grandparents for not becoming early adopters in the 2020s... Footnotes: * I'm only a little annoyed :-) |

If you guys are interested in my work, let me know, and I'll continue to post updates and such. Otherwise, I guess I'll just toil away in silence. And a quick note: The current design uses my PC to fetch work, and push it to the FPGA, as well as check for "Golden Tickets" (my funny internal name for valid nonces) and submit them when found. There's room in the pipelined design to put in a NIOS microprocessor. This could potentially use the ethernet port on the dev kit to do all the fetching and submitting. That way it'd be totally automated, and headless.  Oh, I think there'll definitely be interest. My initial thoughts are that Mhash/W is superb, about 15 times better than a 5970. Mhash/s is still quite low, given the cost, but a "quad DE0-Nano board" version would be particularly interesting - $320 (compared with $400 or more for a second-hand 5970). Professional miners who are concerned about on-going electricity costs more than they are about fixed, up-front costs might very well be interested. |

Well, what do you use?
I recently got annoyed of using BTC and i might start using ß
I hate trying to find currency symbols in my character map application, so I tend to just use currency codes (USD, CAD, GBP, EUR, etc) - so it's BTC for me! |

but personally I would not like to loan to someone who backs out of a deal, even with lender's consent
it is a good thing that he didnt accept the 0% loan and run off with 30 BTC in his pocket like he could have, you probably will pay you back seeing that
Definitely hasn't run off! I'll keep the details private, but will just note that I'm very happy with the way things are going and my trust levels are now well above zero. |

I think he is talking about clients like poclbm, which does ask you for a username and password for solo mining.
DiabloMiner does as well: ./DiabloMiner-Linux.sh
...
Remember to set rpcuser and rpcpassword in your ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
before starting bitcoind or bitcoin --daemon |

it doesnt help your reputation if you back out of a loan now  It doesn't help it, sure, but I don't think reputation should be harmed, either - since the lender (me) is happy for early repayment without penalty. That said, reputation would probably be improved if JackRabiit stuck with the original loan :-) |

This is gee & fairusers thread
Don't feed trolls
LMGTFY
This is gee & fairusers thread
No, it's a thread started by FairUser about a pool operated by Geebus and FairUser. It's open for anyone to post in, and most people would be happy to have other pool users offer help, advice and suggestions, particularly while FairUser and Geebus are otherwise occupied. I have no idea why you aren't happy unless you're getting personal service from the pool operators, and, frankly, I don't very much care. I formed my own opinion of you very early on, and it hasn't changed in the slightest since then. |

and you LMGT ... who cares cant give a REAL NAME just a bunch of crap letters just like you
Explanation of LMGTFYLMGTFY == TROLL does that make sense to you Many of us lack your mighty intellect and your superb linguistic skills, so, sad to say, much of what you write is hard for us to understand. Try and use more capitals - shouting aids comprehension. |

I have some coins lying around contributing to scarcity rather circulating in the economy. So if you want another 15BTC zero interest loan, let me know, with your repayment plan of course;
I will definitly send you a tell should i need a loan, Enjoy your day You could, uh, borrow 15 BTC, and repay me... you'd swap a 33% loan for a 0% loan. Sucks for me, but it's in your best interest. I'd have no problem with early repayment, by the way. If I was smart, I'd have thought about that before we did the deal, but I didn't! |

I was just trying to help... Totally not worth bothering. bobR is a classic case of "no good deed goes unpunished". It's better to just grab some popcorn and watch the train-wreck. your post almost sounds like a threat though lol
bobR is really into giving orders. This is amusing on so many levels.
trolls are easy to amuse Oh, bobR, that's so cutting. I feel crushed. I'll go crawl under my rock. |

This is amusing on so many levels. |

heheh!
I will Accept the loan from
LetMeGoogleThatForYou, please send the loan to 1P4y3HKKF5deh4rUBUAq6j4qjuqQhC9J7t
i will continuously send BTC's to the wallet 17LMUQVqHrnPg3CZMECMBdW7XV1nr1A4K1 untill i have sent a total of 20BTC's
Please confirm so that i can mark this thread as "sold"
Oh and yeah, listen to nster, he's pretty bang on
Confirming :-) I've sent 15 BTC to 1P4y3HKKF5deh4rUBUAq6j4qjuqQhC9J7t (blockexplorer) - expect to see it shortly. Enjoy your loan, good luck with the purchase! |

I have a purchase in mind,No this is not just for trust Yes I could wait but i'd rather not due to it being a promotional offer, Yes I inten'd to send 1BTC as frequently as possible (expected 24hrs, so 1BTC daily minimum)
If I were to default from the arrangement then yes you would put a big fat "This guy is bad, Here is why, and heres how much of a -xyz i give him"
I cannot think of much else you could do, say I default.
It's really up to anyone to decied weather or not 33% is "fair" and Anyone has merit to say it's not "fair" but the main decider is he whom claims the loan.
I am up for negotiations as to the %profit from the loan but 33% is my comfy zone
OK, that all sounds good. I'm happy to send 15 BTC to you - do you want me to use the address in your signature, or would you prefer a different one (you can PM me if you want to keep it private)? Can you make repayments to 17LMUQVqHrnPg3CZMECMBdW7XV1nr1A4K1, please? I still feel that 33% is very generous, but I have zero experience with making loans! |
