I understand many botnets use IRC theymos, but some accusations are ridiculous. They basically assume it MUST be a botnet, and I can see many uninformed individuals switch from WPA2 to WEP becuase "AT&T told them to".
I will send them an email letting them know about Bitcoin.

Hey guys, I use IRC a lot. I have a server at home (on my sadly 368 Kbps upstream) constantly connected to 4 IRC networks (including my Bitlbee server to forward my IM to my IRC client), and of course, I have Bitcoin which (I believe) still bootstraps to IRC. I received an email from AT&T (my ISP) yesterday informing me that they detected I was "probably part of a botnet" because they "logged IRC connections", etc. etc. It goes on about sending spam, how to get tested, and to please send them an email at " abuse@att.net" or something so they know you're working on the issue. Now I'm not sure whether it's my client which set them off (I started that about a week ago, as I migrated from a shell a friend gave me), or whether it's Bitcoin's boostrapping process. I'm curious as to whether anybody else has received a similar email since installing Bitcoin? Somebody has posted about AT&T sending these emails here if you'd like to read the message they send. It's pretty ridiculous (they recommend you swith cto WEP encryption if you aren't using it.) ~lulzplzkthx |

Im just glad Luke never mentioned tonal once in that entire conversation.  LOL Actually, now that you mention it... maybe he just wanted to buy 25 TONAL bitcoins, and that's why it got all confusing. Silly luke-jr! |

I'm a Gnu Atheist Skeptic... I don't believe, I weigh probabilities and calculate evidence.
There is no room for 'faith' here, only fact, evidence, and hypothesis.
I already said Gnu Atheist :p Oh dammit, xD |

What if I just bought the BTC in his name? Would that help clear anything up? I do owe him a favor  Wait, so would you be buying it for $1.15/BTC? Heh, I'll do it too. |

Just an idea, but wouldn't it be a bit more interesting if the timer only resets if the last payment bursts a bubble?
Thoughts? Concerns?
Thanks for taking the time to read my idea :-)
Ooh, I like that idea. It would make it a lot more fun. |

Is this a PTC site? I was thinking about creating a Bitcoin PTC site a while ago.
|

|

It's actually called "GNU/Atheism".

I'm interested. PMing you now.

Just wanted to say work was completed, and payment was received quickly.
Thanks rooofl, and let me know if you sign up for #bitcoin-otc so I can rate you.

If the other party holds up their end of the bargain, you are able to conduct business with a commodity at a set risk. For instance, lets say your business will require more bitcoin in a month, but you know you won't be able afford to pay more than $1.25. A future allows you to operate on the guarantee that you will not have to pay more than $1.25 for next month's supply of bitcoin.
Ah, okay, thanks. |

I guess I just never understand these futures buy contracts...
Why wait a month to do it, why not just buy for $1.25 then? Or better yet, why not just by for the price of $0.92?
I don't get why waiting a month, and THEN buying for $1.25 is any different than buying it then.

You seem to be unable to understand that I cannot give out loans without any funding. I also would like to note that one bitcent for ten bit coins is a very low rate (0.1%) and does not apply to values less than 10BTC
Since you all seem so pessimistic, here's an incentive:
If you deposit at least 50 bitcents, than you will get a discount when loans go live.
I'm still working out the JavaScript, but a site will be up soon with accounts and so on.
What happens if I deposit 9.99 BTC... a lot of times... ? |

I'm also interested in this. I could do it for 3 BTC as well (don't want to undersell yrral86). I'm a native English speaker, and love writing.
~lulz
Meh... let him have it... I don't usually love writing unless it's source code. I just happen to be decent at it. Thank you yyral86, that was kind.  ~lulz |

I was actually thinking about starting a project just like this today, and then remembered my solution: I use SpiderOak and just have it set to backup my wallet.dat. It keeps the last few versions, meaning I don't have to worry about corruption, and it encrypts ALL of the files backed up.

I believe boost, etc. is required for bitcoin, not just bitcoind. I could be very wrong.
No, I believe you are right. But, with bitcoin (not daemon) I don't necessarily have to compile it. I can just download the binaries and run. I do not believe (and someone correct me if I'm wrong) that there is an official bitcoind binary for any platform... I'd have to compile that myself. The Windows installer provides a bitcoind.exe in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\daemon\ Though I believe the Linux version does NOT include a bitcoind executable, and I don't touch Apple-branded stuff. |

bitcoin gives you a GUI. bitcoind does not.
Really? That's the only difference? That's what I was beginning to suspect, but I wanted to double check. So, somebody who wanted to create a pool, but was too busy screwing with other parts of their software they needed to create, could just run bitcoin --server as their "backend" until they got around to screwing with setting up boost and all the other dependencies required to build bitcoind? Sorry, I just wanted to re-phrase my understanding of what you said, just to make certain I understand. I believe boost, etc. is required for bitcoin, not just bitcoind. I could be very wrong. |

So, tell me. How much BTC do you guys have so far?
I have all of 2. My hashing machine is a laptop, which means it doesn't really mine very quickly. Heh, I used to CPU mine with my laptop at night, and every morning I'd wake up to maybe .03 BTC earned. It just wasn't worth it to me, even though it's only a processor, laptop that's normally plugged in anyway, and my parent's electricity. I was also worried about the CPU overheating and burning out quicker, as it was burning (over 180 Fahrenheit) each morning. |

Hello,
I work on an open-source CMS with a few other developers, and we believe an issue with current CMS's is that even when security issues are patched, the vulnerable script still lives out in the wild. To fix this we plan to incorporate (optional) auto-updates. It would connect to the central server, find the patch, download and install it.
I, however, noticed an issue: If someone gets into the main server, they can release a patch to open up all of the CMS's using our code. My proposed solution was to use GPG signatures to verify patch integrity. The issue is that the GnuPG installation for PHP is more difficult than your average webmaster's skill set. We were looking for either a solution to get around this, or a similar thing to GnuPG for us (three developers minimum) to sign the patches.
Thanks,
lulzplzkthx

Haha, only 1.93 BTC. I'm a poor 15-year-old kid. I got 15 BTC for writing something, gambled it up to 30 BTC, then gambled it down to 0 BTC. Then the price went up to $8 BTC and I felt stupid. |
