well just to update since i started the post way back when - i got my bank to contact the polish bank who in turn have tried to contact intersango to release my money and basically intersango will not respond so GOODBYE €€€ HELLO SCAM!!

Did they respond to any of your attempts to contact them? What did they say? Did you send them any details of the wire transfer?

What's to stop you using a chess computer to win?

Nothing. Don't bet against someone you think is using a PC. Also don't bet a lot of money.
1583  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: ASIC as a 51% "weapon"... Mmmm... I don't think so... on: June 26, 2012, 08:54:12 AM
With 51% attack you can only invalidate a transaction that you made so it returns to your wallet, you cannot make money out of thin air with it.

No, perhaps you're thinking of a finny attack. A 51% attack can rewrite the blockchain.

Also 99.9999% of people who mine wouldn't have a clue how to modify a block and launch a 51% attack as most miners are business investors and not hackers.

It only takes 1 person to do a 51% attack. It can be done with ~$200,000 worth of BFL's new ASIC's (3.5Ghash for $150). At this moment in time, BFL probably has the money and access to the ASIC's, there's nothing stopping them from doing a 51%.

So, will they build a ASIC for each cryptocurrency out there?! I don't think so... So, they will build none!

You forgot that everyone who has BTC will loose it all when we switch to another alt-currency/hashing function.

Also, it wouldn't be hard to use FPGA's to 51% most of the alt-currencies due to their low hashpower.

That was a poor choice of words on their part.
1585  Other / Off-topic / Re: [Poll] Did you pay when you ordered your ASIC? on: June 25, 2012, 08:56:39 AM
AFAIK, you can chargeback a wire transfer on the grounds that it wasn't initiated by you (there also needs to be evidence suggesting this). You cannot dispute a wire transfer on the grounds that the seller didn't send the products/not as described.

God, you are paranoid as hell. Are you sure you are not on acid right now?

Lol. I don't actually think this is going to happen, I'd just like to point it out as an added risk.
1587  Economy / Lending / Re: Looking for 40 BTC, returning 52 BTC on: June 18, 2012, 04:25:20 PM
Quite a low chance of that happening with blotters hidden in CD case.

Its still a huge risk for the lender, lender could face jailtime if caught financing drug smuggling.
You know how astronomically low chance of me getting caught is, let alone lender.

It has a low chance of happening, but is pretty high risk since the lender is risking 40BTC and his/her freedom. I would rather put the 40BTC on SatoshiDice, risk/reward ratio is much better IMO & my asshole remains protected.

Maybe when I get home tonight I'll put my free long distance to work and give Maria a call to see if it's her.

Why are SR limiting large transfers? Do they want you to submit AML or something? Never knew SR was becoming FinCEN compliant  Roll Eyes

I beg to differ, for my sister's first husband owes over $100,000 to various entities and has been pounded by debt collectors for years decades. Guess how much they were able to get from him? Wait for...$0 USD or in BTC, as if you didn't see that coming.

~Bruno~

Wow. I'm surprised they didn't repo all of his trash. I've seen people get all their shit taken off them and auctioned off over a $10,000 debt.
1593  Economy / Services / Re: GPUMAX | The Bitcoin Mining Marketplace on: June 12, 2012, 01:38:12 PM
Is anyone having their hashing power under-reported by 10-20% all the time? My miners read 3.0 Gh/s, but GPMAX always hovers from 2.4-2.8 regardless if I'm doing Public or Private work.

It should vary, sometimes reporting 10% less, sometimes 10% more, depending on your luck in solving shares.

How long is the wait time to signup on GPUMAX? I signed up awhile back (month, maybe two) but never got an invite. I guess they aren't accepting anyone else?

Seems to be different for everyone. I waited around a month IIRC.

Bulanula, will you do everyone a favour and just fuck off? I am seriously sick of constantly seeing this thread, its just ridiculous at this point.

First of all, Tycho is one of the most dedicated Bitcoin community members around.  He loves bitcoin, and wants to see it succeed.  Just because he is making money off it does not mean he doesn't have the rest of our interests at heart.

Second, deepbit is only 5% of hashing power now.  I'd much rather have 38% of the power in Tycho's hands than be completely unknown.  

https://blockchain.info/pools

MtGox isn't perfect but it is the only exchange with enough liquidity to support the growing Bitcoin economy now.  

Blockchain is broken again and is labeling DeepBit's blocks as unknown. This happens all the time, a few days ago it said Bitcoinica was the largest pool.  Roll Eyes

He seems to think that he looks LESS SUSPICIOUS if he's selling thousands of dollars worth of gift cards.  Roll Eyes

You do realize, even if you are selling the millions of dollars worth of GC like you say (even though nobody has vouched for you yet), the whole thing looks a million times more suspicious and scammy?

So "greyhat" SEO/potential spamming (TCC)

Not illegal, many legitimate companies sell blackhat SEO services.

downloading most likely illegal content by proxy (BITCOINTORRENTZ)
Also not illegal, BitcoinTorrentz is hosted in Russia where our IP laws don't have effect (the service itself isn't illegal, but those using it may be breaking the law).

shady investments with 7% return per week (pirate pass throughs)

If you look hard enough you will find a couple of ways to make an almost automated return legally of 10-12% like Pirate does with very little risk. There are many opportunities there and many other people are doing it.

but a MMJ operation would really damage the image of BTC and GLBSE?!

Out of all of these, which do you think the newspaper would write about? Of course the weed!

The newspapers love making up horror stories about "homegrown skunk cannabis killing our children", almost all the press coverage Bitcoin has gotten is about "the ebay of drugs", they're going to start calling it some sort of drug currency. If this comes about I would honestly consider leaving Bitcoin altogether, it's got a bad enough rep as it is.

Can you imagine trying to convince a fortune 500 company to use Bitcoin, when all the press are calling it a drug currency?

Hmm, somewhat different picture: http://blockorigin.pfoe.be/chart.php

Thats over the past 2 weeks while the other chart is 4 days, I'm also sure that both are missing many blocks that were actually solved by deepbit & are categorizing them as solved by another pool.

You will most likely need to provide a scan of your ID + proof of address to a lender, even then you aren't certain to get a loan.

Why do you need the loan anyways?
