Do you have anything a little more... refined?

I'm 26 years old, and most of my t-shirts are one color: white.

I like the idea but I wouldn't be caught dead wearing something that makes me look like teenager/hipster/whatever you call that style ;P

Just a simple "I HEART BTC" or something (like the NYC shirts) or "I MINE COINS" or something like that would probably be simpler to create and would jive with me more.

The DEA has no jurisdiction inside Canada, which Vancouver is a part of.

I have linuxcoin running on a 1GB drive. More than enough room.

Bump!

Nobody? Nothing!?

Nobody said that they were mr crappy attitude!

It was just a suggestion to fill the gap between GPUs and ASICs perhaps.

OP, did you submit the patch to gavin on github?!

Linux users have a bad name?

Have you ever heard of a bank?

People will trust this, eventually.

It may take 100 years to become fully accepted. But it is a sound business model.

STOP THE PRESSES.

TAKE MY MONEY.

Not sure, perhaps make it out of more "industrial" materials and forget about temperature? Who cares if it gets to 150C if it's only going to be purchased and operated by "professional miners" ??

Why don't we focus at least some effort on convincing a small ATI video card manufacture to make a 5870 * 4 core video card with only 256MB of cheap/slow ram?

That could theoretically do about 2.4 Ghps for maybe 600 watts of power. I don't mind plugging in 4 pcie connectors to power it, either.

The 5870 technology is 2 years old already.

All we would need to do would be to come up with about 1,000 initial orders at say $1,000 a pop and I bet we could convince somebody to make a board like that for $1M USD, no?

I would pay $1,000 for a 2.4Ghps card.

This is amazing.

Possibly in the wrong section of the forum however, don't know why nobody has replied.

This is exactly what websites need to deal with the "BTC Volatility Payment Problem".

Good work.

Thanks for those explanations everyone.

Or how long do I really have to wait to be "sure" that the generated block + 50BTC contained within it are valid?

The default on the bitcoin client is 120 confirmations.

How would somebody manage to "trick" you for 119 confirmations in this day and age at the current difficulty level?

As soon as 1 or perhaps 2 confirmations come in I fail to see how you could declare an older block invalid.

When interacting with the bitcoin client, you have the option of passing two (different?) commands to it that seemingly always return the exact same result.

getblockcount === getblocknumber

Or does it?

And why?

Notch at least seems like the type of guy we may be able to convince to accept bitcoins as a form of Payment for minecraft.

Apparantly pushpool requires a minimum difficulty of 256 to work 100% properly, so I attempted to increase the difficulty (from ~45) to 256 or higher so that I could fully test pushpool on testnet before making any errors on the real blockchain.

I should have known this would not be possible since the bitcoin protocol has some sort of difficulty increase limiting factor built into it by default, does it not?

I am curious... did testnet just hit (or almost hit) that difficulty increase limit? It's surprisingly close to a 4x increase right now (sitting at ~175 difficulty).

If anybody wants to join me in upping the testnet difficulty over the next few days, feel free!

Ubuntu to mine, windows the rest of the time.

There are still too many programs that I use daily and work only on windows to make the full switch, but I would if I could.

FYI: Your "stats" page is slow as molasses... your entire website in fact.
