Subscribing - Several lenders are owed coins from this guy.

You can Subscribe without posting. Judging by the OP's lack of posts since people sent him money, we've got another case of a loanee selling "items to pay back loans"

Yes I can, but this also puts a marker/warning in the thread.  (did the same for the paintball gun thread)

I saw this when posted.  Still watching.  Post distribution looks odd, but content reasonable.  Coincidence of request with known scammer posting taunts is also noted.

What do you want 10 coins for anyway?

If you are not doing it (walking through bad neighborhoods at 2am with a pocketful of cash) then your point of view is worth less than someone who actually does it (walking through bad neighborhoods at 2am with a pocketful of cash).  Maybe that's why commentators for (muggings) tend to be old/incapable/other (people who don't take unnecessary risks themselves).

Logic error pointed out.

ha ha ha - nice

I did say common sense was still present, so the example falls down a little.

Yes with God I must repay debt for the fall of man is soon to defer us from the gates of Heaven.

Why is it so easy to give away your Bitcoins?

It seems like common sense has gone out the window in the loaning of BTC here. You are basically doing the equivalent of the topic subject, so make sure you use the same criteria in knowing your borrower as if you were handing someone cash when loaning BTC!

If you are not doing it (lending) then your point of view is worth less than someone who actually does it (lending).  Maybe that's why commentators for (insert sport/news item) tend to be old/incapable/other (additional adjectives not necessary at this stage).

Common sense has not gone out of fashion.

This is fucking disgusting.. I thought the people on the forums Know a scam when they see one

But here we have (some quite competent) members of the forum getting scammed for (imo) large amounts of money!
Is there some New scam, Or is this guy just a fucking poetic wordsmith
Hindsight is always 20/20. I suggest you stop with the insulting comments.

Hindsight is useful, and it also helps inform users (both sides) what the rules of the game are like.  This is a very new activity and while I have lost quite a lot, I am fortunate it is manageable.  Maybe I'm too nice.

Is there anyone willing to give me a loan of 3 BTC with a small fee? Even though I'm a noobiew?

Why would anyone lend money to people they don't know on the internet is beyond me. And frankly, I can get better rates from Tony Soprano.
Actually, PatrickHarnett gave me a loan of 3 BTC with 5% for something like 2 weeks.
Some people are willing to trust eventhough they don't know me.
The reason he trusted me is also beyond me, but I'm very thankful for that and I'm going to return him the coins (not that I wasn't going to do that).

Loan repaid - many thanks.

Patrick

Still waiting for repayment, no contact and their last log-on was 6Feb last I looked - for me, fortunately only 5 coins this time.

I read this thread expecting some numbers.  Where are they?

I'm not a serious miner, so haven't loaded up a 4*5970 board yet, and I run standard clocks so don't get any special speeds.  My top rig is currently cruising at a bit over 1.8Ghash (6 * 314Mhash from three 5970's).  Maybe I'll crank up the clock speeds temporarily with a fourth card on a different board I have, but that's not the plan at this stage.

Edit: slight o/c to 800Mhz/500 gives 2.077
1353  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Deepbit hopping on: February 08, 2012, 07:39:33 PM
For curiosity I did a graph of the last 321 blocks.  Time per block to the nearest second versus shares per minute.  I too can get a slight decline in hashes returned for the longer blocks.  Average shares/minute = 51,300, Standard Deviation = 2,127.

Better yet, I added a trend-line and calculated the R^2 values.  The result, with R^2 less than 10% tells me lots of noise and any relationship, if there is one, is weak.  The longest block in the sample had a hash rate higher than average - a random result Smiley

It has passed 2/7/2012, and still no sight of return coins.

OP, I suggest you pay up.

just noticed its the same as westcoastconnect....

No, that was my error - post updated.
1357  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Deepbit hopping on: February 07, 2012, 08:08:09 PM
ok, if you take the max at 55,000 and a decline to 50,000, then you get 10%.  I wonder if the noise in the chart over-states it.  Might only be from 53k to 51k.  Either way, it's useful to have a snapshot of data.

The data covers just over 100 blocks that where shorter than 10 minutes. Im sure someone will soon calculate 95% probabilities, but I dont think noise is likely to explain it. It could be over- or understating it though, thats for sure.

My main point is they are being hopped, Im fairly confident the data proves that. Even if its just 5%, I wonder if that couldnt match the hashrate of those 115% PPS fake pools. Add to that they all seem to suffer from high stales, and Im getting quite certain thats whats going on. They are probably not just hopping deepbit, but deepbit are obviously the biggest one, and perhaps  the easiest to show it for.


Now that's an interesting observation/comment.  Months go when I was arguing with Meni about hopping I was putting forward proposition that smaller pools might be more vulnerable, and larger pools would be more stable.  Therefore I would expect the smaller pools to show more pronounced changes and trends.

1359  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Deepbit hopping on: February 07, 2012, 07:21:01 PM
Missing the definitions of the different axes, I assume Y = average hash speed and X = block duration.

The point about graphing the Y axis from zero would better show how much (or little) decline there is.  For instance, is deepbit losing 5% or more from hoppers, or less.  It is hard to tell given the way it is presented.

Interesting piece of analysis.
