Please, do put it up regardless... some of us are not in the US (though I understand you need to know what to say in the auction)

<shamelessplug>You can also ask TTBit to get that on bitcoinsportsbook</shamelessplug>

Much appreciated, this feature will be

Now, is there/will there be a way to know how many free keys are in the pool at some moment in time, and trigger generation of a new pool of addresses in a determined time point?

The idea is to be able to schedule backups when new adresses are going to be generated, and to never use an address not already in a backup. These keys will be used for both change and new addresses, correct?

Thank you!

I'm pretty sure that was a sw glitch though, as I and a lot of others had open orders to buy way over 0.01 and nothing got sold. As I understand it if someone was selling for 1c they would get served with the bids above that first.

So, what happens if the scam is for real? The exchanges are being paid with transfers, but their accounts get frozen thus they don't have the funds to pay others? Coins being transfered out are transfered out, period, so the scammer buying bitcoins gets to keep them.

What about the rest of us, who have sold? Is bce/mtgox going to get ahold of the US$ in our accounts?

I feel a love song coming...

Please, do share some hw details

Yeah, been there, tried that. Turns out I kick started a cuda version that got embraced by eurekafag, which was pretty cool. But make no mistake, every time someone builds a slightly better version, the tendency is to keep it to themselves, unless they lack the hardware to use it to their own profit. Which accounts for the rest of us, I guess

Anyway, I've been moving my attention elsewhere as the amount of interest I got from the community to pursue this was so small I feel I'm just doing this for myself. Which is fine, except I have other things I'd rather do right now.

But if someone preps up a clean implementation against the default client I'll certainly help with all I learned in cuda (and to a lesser extent in opencl) and be a very avid tested!

What planet do you come from, does it get cold there during the winter and don't you have other heating means, ones that don't include getting CPUs to 100% continuosly?

Also, while on the subject, are you planning to rule the earth all by yourself or do we get to apply for sidekick?

There's always some benefit to multiple time point backups. You might have bad ram in the computer and one of the backups is corrupted, same goes for hard drive or even just a slightly loose cable. But for the most part, assuming all goes well, the latest backup does invalidate older ones.
Now, don't feel too safe because you have one backup, even 100 of them, on the same physical location. Same computer is asking for trouble, same house is calculated risk. Better to make a daily or so backup to an external storage service. It's always about balance; how much do you keep in the wallet, how often you do transactions, what would it cost you to loose such wallet.


I don't see any technical reason to not do so that way. Other may think differently, but from the top of my head there's nothing preventing that. It would, however, create a very simple path to follow and find you, and while this may not present an issue to you personally, if your address is compromised there's a good chance the receiver is also traceable now. I'm paranoid, you probably aren't, so my opinion is highly biased

Trust. Or lack thereof. And that comes with a price apparently

Mail the physical letters? Sure, I can do that. Not as inexpensive as your in-country mails, but still much cheaper than the AUS to EUR alternative.

Now, the problem I see is with translating the letters. I can do Portuguese, I know there are Italian and spanish speaking members around and, of course, Russian too, so lets get some templates going

Wow, there's an idea worth exploring! What proof of work could we use? Murder seems fitting, what about selfless generosity? Even harder to come by

I do not know Satoshi or what type or person he is. Heck, I don't even know if he is a person I do believe that at the very least he has that sarcastic smile (if his physical existence, having on, so allows) every time he reads about how he's out to save the world from the bad guys or rather out to be the baddest of these guys.

In his position, I would milk this to the limit, and would hold back on responding for as long as there were witty remarks. Even better, leave that to be answered on his autobiography, which you will only be able to buy using bitcoins.

I fully understand that, I know what it means to be in pre launch mode, but I'm just collecting the pieces... why the surveys to keep the account active? And more to the point, why only webdevelopers are available for feedback from early birds? Just makes no sense to me, really, but I'm a known and registered paranoid, guess I could be searching for something to complain about.

Hmm, why does this look like a scam to get you to fill surveys and they get paid for it? I mean, $50 for anyone + $5 a day + $5 per referrel *but* the $ does not mean dollar, it is just a virtual representation of nothing. Sure, bitcoins are nothing too, but these guys do specify you can't exchange these for anything, nor will you be able to anytime soon. Also, they have web developers on call if something is messy with the site, but no code developer to help if the internal transfer is not working? wtf? Are they not in development?

There's a lot more than GFlops to this equation. Memory bandwidth, for one, will be very important.

Yeah, I'm struggling with how OpenCL compiles kernels and the impact of the work size on performance. It is quite counter intuitive coming from CUDA, as the unrolling of loops and functions actually makes performance worse, as the kernel needs more space. I don't have any numbers for that ATI, but the 4350 seems to be a LOT less performant than the 5870, so it might not be that low.

Once I have hardware to test this for real, I'll compare my approach to this one, so we can learn from each other.

The difficulty isn't set by time, but by block count, so yeah, it would go sky high within the 2 first months making this pretty much impossible to scale... you would still get the whole of the generation capacity of the network, though, so as long as you can pay for the servers with ~200k coins, you are golden... but if you try to sell the coins to get US$, you'll be loosing value, so it's kind of chicken and egg, I guess.

There, fixed it for you

It will work for the first month, then you get 3 or four of these US$1k/month machinery going after the same thing, but difficulty needs to creep in and even the playfield. So after the dust settles you will have made a buck, a bunch of them actually, but once we're back to 6 blocks/hour we're in the 220k~250k coins generation per month, which nets you US$15k. Very nice, it you don't sell the coins... and there aren't a bunch of people doing it.

License plate with BC address: +1, we don't have the customized plates here, and I don't think it's legal to add anything resembling a license plate, but it still is pretty cool

As for paying your toll with bitcoins, how would they be able to subtract the coins from you, based on your address? Unless it's a service mybitcoin provides...
