Christopher, you probably want .......

And you should have said that in a PM.
It's disabled by default, so it would have required a specific action to enable it.

OP edited to add the following information:

In addition to the colors, Donators and VIPs get other perks:
They have access to a secret subforum dedicated to them, and they can change their usernames whenever they want from within their profiles.
1603  Other / Meta / Re: Username change possible? on: June 17, 2012, 06:05:09 PM
Does anybody know if it's possible to rename a user account on the forums? I tried searching for it but it seems nobody had this question before and I can't find any options in the preferences panel.
PM an administrator (theymos) to get your username changed, or if you want to you can become a donator and be able to change your name as often as you want.

1605  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin: low transaction fees, I don't think so on: June 17, 2012, 05:28:07 PM
I see Bitcoin as being a potentially helpful tool in moving us in these directions and am just disappointed when I see so many new Bitcoin businesses fail to see such potentials and instead resort to the usual money grubbing ways which seem common for our time.  
I feel exactly the same way.  I admire bitcoin very much, and the opportunities for an equitable society are plain for all to see; pity it's being usurped by the money-makers.

To all those that say "do it yourself", well, if I could, I would. I would cover costs and take no profits, but I would ask for donations.
Welcome to freedom! Enjoy your stay.

BTW, if you can't do something, you are also free to hire someone that can. But then you would be forced to charge your customers more in order to pay that someone. See how it works?

Take for instance Bitinstant: They charge one of the largest premiums I have seen around here, but for convenience. Because no one else has stepped up to provide an equivalent service, they are the only game in town, and because they are successful it is obvious that customers don't mind paying a premium to use their service. Sure, the customers could deposit cash to Bitfloor for no fee at all, but most of them want the convenience of depositing at Wal-mart, CVS, 7-Eleven, and many other locations.

The customers are even calling for Bitfloor to have Bitinstant integration, even though they know they they would be paying up to a 4% fee! This is indeed supply and demand at work - the demand is high, and the price is high to match. Eventually there would be a crossing point, but the market would have to find out where that point is, and it hasn't yet apparently, according to the success of Bitinstant.
1606  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: What PSU to power 12 QUAD boards? on: June 17, 2012, 04:56:52 PM
Ztex quads, or Enterpoint quads? The Enterpoint quads have proper 6-pin connectors, which should be plentiful on most power supplies. A 4-pin molex really shouldn't be expected to carry too much current, it only has one +12v wire.

Is there any way to reduce the verbosity of the logs that P2Pool keeps? I've searched this topic but come up empty-handed.

Normal version: %appdata%/Electrum
Portable version: same folder as the executable
Thank you  Smiley

Had to go to c:\users\username\AppData\Local\Electrum

The %appdata% only showed me c:\users\username\AppData\Roaming\Electrum-P

I didn't know about the Local vs Roaming folders in Win7 (I use XP, mostly)... Thanks for your feedback.
"C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\" in Windows 7 is equivalent to "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\" in Windows XP, and "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\" is the same as "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\"

Can you coordinate with BitInstant?
+1
This would bring way more volume to bitfloor

We will not be integrating with Bitinstant at this time. We feel that it is easier for our customers to deal directly with us instead of having to create accounts at various third party sites. This allows us to keep the fees down and the user experience around our exchange clearer and simpler.

Bitinstant doesn't have any kind of accounts to sign up for, as far as I know. What you see on the website is what you get, and I hear they are planning to whitelabel their current deposit providers to make the process even simpler. Since they are US based as well, I wouldn't think that there would be too many hurdles to setting it up.

Since you said the latest (3rd?) generation would be half as big as the current (2nd?) version, I'm assuming the ad draft is for the 3rd gen product and the video will be of something that is a bit larger? I can't imagine anything much smaller in a wristwatch form factor anyway.
1611  Other / Off-topic / Re: [solved] database screwup - any help fixing on: June 17, 2012, 11:31:36 AM
I think what threw me into a panic was the fact that phpmyadmin would not open. After banging away at it for a while, I finally figured out the problem: after an update of phpmyadmin, it had enabled SSL connections to the MysSQL server, and was failing because php was connecting with a local socket. Disabling SSL fixed it, but I might need to look at re-enabling it on the MySQL side anyways.

The tool that helped me get back up and running was MySQL Workbench - it's a totally awesome administration tool. Obviously taking a full backup is preferable, but in this case I was able to restore just the mysql.user table and then my mail server and webmail script started working.

This system is already virtualized, so maybe I should clone it and use the cloned environment for testing. That seems like a good idea.

I just posted a slideshow to Bitcoinmedia.com explaining my "Second Bitcoin Whitepaper" using memes (I'm hoping to reach the broadest possible audience).

http://bitcoinmedia.com/using-memes-to-explain-bitcoin/

Comments welcome!


It was good at the beginning, but then you started pushing an altcoin or set of altcoins or something. Sad Near the end, the memes become less and less relevant.

Is there any specific reason that a large number of transactions would specifically cause orphans? Is it just because they are slower to be propagated to the network, or is it just too taxing to current pool softwares and algorithms to deal with?

So I wonder how easily this could be reconfigured into a "fuck rainbow tables, crack passwords in realtime" type appliance. 1 bitcoin terahash per second is 2 regular SHA256 terahashes per second, which is a lot...
1618  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Version 0.6.2 available on: June 17, 2012, 01:43:41 AM
From the client's perspective, there isn't any way to tell except with the block timestamps which I doubt it will trust.
I thought I read the other day that the blocks are timestamped with the current epoch time according to whoever solved it, using unsigned integer?
Yeah well the "according to who solved it" is what I was thinking about. But I don't know enough about that part of the system to say a whole lot about it.
