So, um... I'll buy MtGox for 2 BTC and execute the same plan! Mark..?
Buy Mt.Gox for 2BTC and repay MtGox users lost  this is not just so simple to buy MtGox and recover it from burned ashes to fenix. Well, it does appear to be that simple from the terms laid out by the "investor" group. The fact is, the investors aren't putting anything more than 1 BTC into the company. They'd be using the existing 200,000 BTC to pay out to creditors, and then the existing exchange to generate more income to pay back the creditors over time. The "investors" would essentially be getting 50% of all future profits at zero expense or risk to themselves. That is ... amazing ... I am not judging anyone ("investors") but IF those investors are working in group with Mark K.... this will be biggest scam in BTC history ever done.. But perhaps ... if they will repay the creditors I do mind - let them to that - and my suggest is - when you will get your Goxed money back - delete your MtGox account and never ever come back. What is amazing to me is that people aren't just immediately seeing right through this. I think an offer to buy out the company without actually putting any money into it or using their own funds to make the debts right is complete BS. |

$100 eGift - 50 BTC at Bitstamp Rate This confuses me. 50 BTC for a $100 eGift card? You probably mean $50 of BTC for a $100 eGift card? Anyway, considering you have zero feedback/trust, I'd be willing to buy it and release the BTC from escrow when it is completely spent. Otherwise, AFAIK, there's no way to prevent you from also spending it or reselling it to someone else in the meantime. |

May I ask - what are you planning on using the RNG for? Because if it's for applications like generating passwords - it might not be that useful. If there are already quantumcomputers powerful enough to predict the movement of E.Coli..they will surely enough be powerful enough to just bruteforce the passwords.
There aren't quantum computers powerful enough to predict the movement of E.Coli. How random is PHP math_rand(0,n) ?
Depends on what purpose. If someone knows exactly what time (ms) you generated a random number using it, then they could regenerate the same "random" number. It's not 100% secure for generating things like Bitcoin addresses, but in all likelihood, you'd probably be fine using it. A true RNG has results that are unreproducible. |

Sure... All I was saying is that making a PROVABLY unflawed rng isn't going to substantially help customer acquisition for reasons I won't bore you with... What does acquiring customers have to do with this thread? Thought you were developing it for some business purpose initially. Btw, why do we need hardware , isn't there enough entropy on the internet that we can access? It's public entropy, so if anyone knows what you are using, they can generate the same "random" numbers. A true RNG would mean no one could reproduce the results. It could be combined with the entropy of the exact time a random number request was made, along with additional pseudo random number from the server, hash the result, grab some random parameters from that, go get some random feed from online that is also changing in real time, hash that, and you have a pretty doggone random number that no one could arrive at even if they had your source code. I disagree. If someone had your source code, they could track all those sources you talk about, and the only thing they'd need to speculate on is the exact time a random number request was made. If you're going to claim that is random enough, then just use the exact time request by itself - everything else adds no additional randomness to someone who has your source code. |

I always thought that a microphone could work just as effectively for randomness. Put a mic outside, record for 10 seconds, take the hash of that, viola! Or just a straight sampling of it, like 10 bits, although the effective randomness would be less bits than that.
thats a neat idea. I'd assume the codec and/or file extension might not make it too random though I don't see how the codec or file extension would affect the effectiveness of the hash... I mean, sure, the headers might be known, but random audio would still be made up of random bits, regardless of what codec is used. Why not use the feed from all those public webcams? Pixel and hue variations should be random enough as data.
It's public data, so by definition, not really safe to use. Someone else could replicate what you are doing. The whole goal with a good RNG is that no one else can replicate it even if they see the code you are using. Is it possible to use the hash of each new block as a source of entropy?
Not really - see above. |

bump for beautiful collection. I'd like to get my coins graded, how did you fill out the submission form?
Thank you..! Just fill out the submission form with the relevant information as best you know. As long as you send payment, I'm sure they'll accommodate. |

It's pretty weird how nobody in this thread cared to do some proper research instead of commenting  Care to elaborate enlightened one? Well, for example you've been here for 8 months and you still don't have a clue. How come? Why don't you research the stuff you're commenting about? I don't get it really. Not much research is required to figure out that bitbet/MPOE-PR is outright stealing people's money. Sure, about as much as is required to imagine GLBSE, Bitfunder, Havelock etc are making you peasants rich. GLWT. See here. I have to give you props for actually sticking around, vs the more conventional scammers who simply up and leave with everyone's money. |

The holes in the acrylic are not threaded, but rather a screw feeds up from the bottom of the acrylic into the female-female standoff and then another screw feeds from the top through the motherboard. I hadn't even realized that I hadn't attached any photos with a graphics card installed on the board until your post. There is definitely no need to remove the faceplate of the card. The 8mm spacer and 4mm thickness of the acrylic is more than enough to clear the tab. Images can be seen here. Oh ok, that makes sense. Thanks! Shucks, looks like I missed the sale though. If you'd still be willing to sell for $5 + S/H, I'll buy one. You mean $25? Go ahead and make a best offer on it and I will accept  No I meant $5 + S/H from the special introductory offer. Ah, looks like I was the one who made a mistake. The introductory offer was actually $5 off rather than $5. Sorry about that! I fixed the original post. Really? Because your eBay listing was set to $5.00 as well... Oh well. Thanks anyway. |

So the acrylic is threaded? With the rubber feet, is there enough room between the table surface and the motherboard to install PCI/PCIe cards with the faceplate still attached?

I don't have to prove anything, Baritus is the one that has made the blatantly bogus claims.
~BCX~
Would have to agree. The fact that Baritus refuses to post an address that corroborates his story is highly suspicious. Why wouldn't he do that to squelch the skeptics? It does him no harm... |
