Want to buy one working Lancelot, original documentation & accessories.

I was looking over my MtGox account, and I don't see how to turn on 2 factor authentication.  Can someone walk through the process really slowly?

Isn't there a trail for the address the money went to? 

I checked this.  Bitcoin-qt will not start if the quotes are included.

This is a business opportunity to make a high efficiency wall to dc converter.
Making a very focused product, well specified load and voltage, can allow the efficiency to be much higher.

I respectfully request clarification from Avalon whether I can trade in an FPGA unit for an ASIC purchase if I am the 2nd owner.

If you do believe it is a scam, I will buy your unit.  Post your transaction number, I'll gather matching Bitcoin.

I'm not sure if the parameters are supposed to be quoted or not.  I do like to be careful about such things, so after I get things minimally working I will read through from the beginning again.

However, it does work without the quotes.  I have only IPv6 addresses in debug.log.

It seems that IPv6 is pretty well established in the Bitcoin world.

Let's try again.
I can hand write HTML.  It doesn't help here.

I have BTC (edited) and want a working Icarus with all of its ancillary stuff.

Let the fun begin.

I am new, and reading and assimilating...

I have run bitcoin-qt for a week, and it is now synchronized through block 219926. 

I have three files,
blk0001.dat 2,097,361,271 bytes,
blk0002.dat 2,097,295,438 bytes, and
blk0003.dat 1,249,842,320 bytes.

Are these three files the same for everyone?  Or a crisper question might be, are blk001.dat and blk002.dat the same for everyone who is synchronized?

I started the Satoshi client, bitcoin-qt.  The file bitcoin.conf contains the line onlynet=IPv6.

It ran for almost a week, and as of this morning it is synchronized.  This is significantly longer than the times I am hearing from other people.

I am running XP (SP3)
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz
2.99 GHz, 3.50 GB of RAM


What I would like to do next is to use addr.txt to pre-load some peer addresses.

I can write my own code to harvest addresses from debug.log and stuff them into mySQL, and with more time I can read the source and read peers.dat, but it seems that some of the developers would already be able to make addr.txt.  Actually, it seems that bitcoin-qt should be able to produce this file, as a symmetric operation to being able to read it.

Can I get a copy of a windows binary (preferred) or a pointer to the source for Ubuntu 12.04 (less preferred)

Thanks.

I had to think a while to figure out what I think cold wallets are.  That is a point that I did not think of.  What I do is to have two wallets, one is very accessible, but doesn't have much in it.  The other has all the big money in it, and is treated with much more ritual.

I am worried about the turning off potential sellers, and it is unexpected for a seller to put up money to be able to sell.  This will be too weird for a lot of people before the idea catches on.  It may even be fatal.  I hope not.

I have edited the original language.

I attended auctions regularly in Texas for several years. 
It does occasionally happen that there is a registration fee.
It often happens that there is a letter of credit required from a bank.
At almost every auction there is some sort of ruckus at the checkout table.

I simply wrote the procedure that I thought mimicked the actual auctions that I have attended.

The registration fee is embodied in the procedure I have set up.  This is overloading the additional use as the bid indicator, and overloading is usually bad coding practice, but there you are.
A letter of credit indicates that the funds are available.  I have paid into a reserved address to show that, for the moment, I have the funds.  These funds have been publicly and significantly restricted.  A letter of credit also does some other things that are not captured in my procedure.
The removal of my funds from currency trading costs me more than the fee or escrow that the bidders are paying.  This merits respect.

The no-return policy comes out of a blend of the following two things.  1)I don't feel a need to have a lot of different bids from the same person.  It bugs me on eBay when I see the same person re-bidding over and over.  I don't like to read it in the summary, and 2) I sure don't want to spend a hour doing tedious returns for inconsequential amounts of money.  It is an opportunity for mistakes and drama.  I think they should just bid what they want.  I'd be happy with an auction with the winning bid and no other. 

Are you still thinking that I am going to hold onto 15 BTC per bidder, as you did in your first post?  That is not what my post says, and I invite you to read it again, especially this next part.

If I call these "fees" will you stop calling the process a scam?

It seems pretty clear that this bugs you, but I don't understand why.  Nothing is hidden.  Everything has a structural purpose.  The amounts of money involved are not profitable to me and they are not burdensome to you.  This format makes it easy to automate the process.

I have some Chinese students in my classes.  Everything I am hearing seems to ring true.

It does feel clunky, doesn't it.  However ... it is a technical test run of a process for a GUI based auction tool.

Without requiring additional overhead, it is self documenting, transparent, irrevocable, archived, and uses the strengths of BTC. 

In addition, the bidder's BTC pay address can be unique for this auction, and the bidder can transfer the bid funds through a mixer and remain anonymous.  Comments can be added to the bid payments.

Your participation in this auction will permanently identify you as a participant in the event that any auction software does materialize.

This method documents that I have 13.9710038 BTC on hand, in the account BTC address for the auction.

Perhaps you would like to give your  2¢ worth regarding the amount of the fee.  I wonder what rate you would accept.  Perhaps 0.001 (2¢), or 0.000 1, or 0.000 01.  We can survey and vote here and now.  Make a payment to 1AjRvwoChLFY7m76Yx6gxeU39gakrEDT8o in the amount of BTC that corresponds to the fraction that you would like to receive on any auctions where you are the buyer.

Nothing stops discussion of the bid amounts or any other drama between participants in this thread. 

I am curious how many call-outs that the receipt of 2¢ is a scam will come forward.

I think the process is pretty good and fair to everyone.  If not, please help me see how it is not good, from either side.

Walk through it again for me.  I think the winning bid in your scenario is 14 BTC, and that you would pay 0.15 BTC in bid placement fees.
