I wonder when buttcoin.org starts his own chain. i would mine for that! There are several mentions in the Something Awful Bitcoin thread about starting a "Gooncoin" blockchain. A lot of them believe that Bitcoin has no future because anyone can clone it and (according to them) devalue the original. I don't buy it, but I'd like to see them take a shot at it. |

You ripoff artists willing to do anything to make a quick buck off the backs of good people and great ideas are basically attacking the bitcoin that we all love so dearly. I don't see how people like you who are creating competing currencies using the same exact software could be looked at by this community as anything other than the enemy.
Seriously? You think a fork with no added features is going to divert more than a trivial amount of resources from Bitcoin? Getting mad over this is just silly. |

So I generated my first 2 blocks less than a second apart.
Why do you say "16*6=96 IXC" when "96 IXC" would suffice¿?¿ 16*6 means nothing as far as i can tell
16*6 is a reference to the X in Ixcoin, as in Hex/Hexadecimal/16. You're Luke-Jr, aren't you? This is just another attempt to promote the tonal system. |

- Mt. Gox "hack" (this was the beginning of the downward movement and most improtant key factor to all of this) / FIRST big hit
This is incorrect. The price fell to $10 from the all-time high about a week before the MtGox hack and downtime. |

I withdraw some money from MtGox to dwolla and I got a call from dwolla.
They asked me for my name and address, they didn't ask for ID.
This was strange because I was only receiving money not sending it, so there is no risk of chargebacks to them.
How old is your account? Almost 3 months. I guess they must be flagging accounts by some criteria, or imposing the requirement randomly. |

I didn't get this on a withdrawal that I did tonight. My account has been active since early June. I'm thinking it's only for either new accounts, deposits, or accounts that have been flagged for some reason.

Some cards will just get unstable or immediately crash when you lower the memory clock. It has to do with the brand and model of card, but not with whether it's a high or low-end card. I had an XFX 5870 that would crash if you set the memclock to 400 or lower, but my Diamond and Power Color 5870s worked fine at 300. Same goes for raising the core clock.

The "new dependency on ascii bernanke" thing is just referring to the fact that bernanke's face is now in the blockchain, right? Or is there something that I missed?

Merged mining works like this, you have two totally separate block chains, they are not related in any way nor does either contain any data from the other. When you mine you generate hashes that may be the solution to the current block, this is very very improbable per hash, its like a lottery where everyone generates tickets until someone finds the winning one. Normally you make tickets and check them against the Bitcoin block chain to see if they are the solution. With merged mining you create a ticket and check it against both the Bitcoin block chain and the Namecoin block chain, Bitcoin and Namecoin know nothing about each other, they are two totally different lotteries with different winning numbers, you just sent a copy of your ticket to both. Since you are sending the same ticket to two lotteries you increase your chances of winning one or the other. No Bitcoin data goes into Namecoin no Namecoin data into Bitcoin they remain totally separate, you simply run both the Namecoin and Bitcoin clients on the same machine and submit hashes to both networks, if your hash is the solution to the Namecoin block you get Namecoins if you hash is the solution to the Bitcoin block you get Bitcoins, its exactly like if you where mining on just one network, except you submit the same work twice.
Not quite tl;dr but i think its gets the point across.
Merged mining will do exactly what you want, its already implemented and will become doable in just a few months. Just like in the example above merged mining will work with any Bitcoin based block chain and proof of work system. Hence you could mine Bitcoins, Namecoins, Hashcoins, Goldcoins and any other coins you can think of all at once, you just submit your hashes to whatever networks you want to mine on. Once major mining pools switch to Namcoin/Bitcoin merged mining it will be like all the mining power in those pools was direct to mining Namecoins (aka Namecoin will get deep bits 6 tera hashes) except that same hashing power will still be going to the Bitcoin network as well. This means we can have an unlimited number of block chains and they can all have the same level of security as Bitcoin at no extra cost in electricity, hardware, or anything really. I don't fully understand this. I was going to object, but then I went and read the MergedMining article on dotbit. It requires a change to how the Namecoin blockchain works, which makes sense, but from there I'm lost. It sounds like the Namecoin blockchain is just going to accept solutions based on the previous Bitcoin block, as well as based on the previous Namecoin block. Could you explain further, or link me to some more reading material? |

I don't understand this thread. To me, a technical analysis of bitcoin is less complex than a technical analysis of Toys-R-Us (NYSE TOY). What data is there to analyze with bitcoin? Where is the Prospective, or even a business plan for Bitcoin?
See technical analysis vs. fundamental analysis. |

From the list of her posts, she hasn't posted anything on the forum for over a month now. Too bad. I miss her posts. such an interesting person. An 'intellectual whore" what a trip. Has she given up on Bitcoin? or is she just posting somewhere else?
She did mention wanting to change to a different identity on this forum, but I haven't seen any others with the same posting style as her. She's probably just not active here any more. |

Full Member - 100? (not sure on this one)
That's correct. Also, Jr. Member used to be 50; now it's 5, since it's used to allow full posting access. |

They should work. PCIe supports down-plugging, but the slot has to be physically modified to fit the x16 card. Rather than taking a dremel to your motherboard, you can get pre-modified extender cables from Cablesaurus. The x1 cables will be enough for mining and will fit in any slot, so no need to get x4 or x8 cables. |

We need 40 more users, 39 of which need to have 200+ reputation. However if you don't have that much rep, don't hesitate to join; new signups keep our proposal near the top of the main list where more people will see it. Also, gaining 200 reputation isn't that hard, see the OP for some ideas.

If I allocate 10 MB to an encrypted file/partition, then fill one layer with 5 MB with sensitive data, what keeps me from accidentally overwriting the sensitive layer with a second layer of porn? Does one layer know the inodes of the other, while the second layer does not?
For normal usage, you enter the passphrases for both the visible and hidden layers, so that the system knows not to overwrite the hidden layer. When the visible layer is accessed without providing a passphrase for the hidden layer, there is a danger of overwriting it. |
