US1 is currently set to 20 spm over a 180 second test window.  You are connected to US1 and not seeing an adjustment even at almost twice that?

Although... now that I think about it, that makes sense, if you aren't doubling the target then you won't get to 2 very often, since it would bring you in under 20 SPM otherwise, so I think that makes sense.

Nope, they are still holding on to my funds.  @#%#@$ Paypal. 

Con - are you seeing what you should be seeing or are you still experiencing a problem?

When you say the total worker hashrate, you mean the hashrate of all the workers combined? 

As for the time stamp... I'm not sure how I could make it not subjective to the server, since it has to use the clock.  Share processing can affect the last time your worker is deemed active as well.  The server syncs with NTP every few hours, so if your time is off from the server time, and the share processing delay does not account for it, are you synced with a time server somewhere?

You are not on ignore by any means, I don't have anyone on ignore.

He responded to me, but said I had to wait.  He didn't say no... just said I had to wait like everyone else.  I'm not sure what else I can do at this point.  Hopefully he will release that information soon.

No, you're right and I apologize that we are not shipping in the estimated six weeks from when I made that post. 

That said, I still stand by the other statements, shipping dates not withstanding.

Then, once I post in that thread I can't @#%#@$ remove it from my list of watched threads if I lose interest in it, without deleting ALL MY POSTS in that thread.

That's not how the watchlist works.

I know!  That's the problem!

Quote
Some big features that were added:
- Secure hashing of passwords.
- Watchlist
- Automatic whitelisting by any staff member
- "Nuke" feature usable by staff members
- All Tor IPs are automatically banned from registering
- Ignore user (with hidden threads and highlighted ignore link)
- Ignore boards

Come on man, those are all "features" that are standard on bone stock software built after 2009.  They aren't even features, they should be considered basic functionality.  The fact that you had to hack them into the forums should be telling. 

There is virtually nobody in this thread that agrees that SMF is adequate, while the majority of the people agree that we should switch to a modern software suite.  Why is it that you are so reluctant to switch to something else?  Why is "Good enough" ok?  Shouldn't you be striving for "AWESOME!" ?  Why settle for mediocrity?  Especially when it's so trivial in the grand scheme of things to switch.

Would you be willing to insert a mobile browser detection script and serve a custom css file to mobile browsers?

OK, I did that for the default theme (using CSS3 media queries). I removed a lot of wasted space and made it so horizontal scrolling isn't required. It looks OK in a small Firefox window. I don't have a smartphone with which to test it, though.

Browsing a forum via the browser on a phone is an exercise in frustration.  There needs to be a Forum Runner or Tapatalk like application to view/navigate the forum on a smartphone.  Conveniently, this ability is built in to modern forum software strangely enough.

I thought I made this clear - it's useless for communication on certain issues because of people like you.


Maybe if you didn't engage in a dialogue with him and instead provided an update on how BFL's location move went, etc.

Seriously... why would I not provide and update if I had one?  Gah, I am just baffled by the constant requests for the same thing over and over.  I have repeatedly stated that when I have more information on Topic X that I can provide, I will provide it.  I have no desire to keep things secret and the things that I do keep secret are for competitive reasons.  If something appears to be secret and has no obvious competitive advantage for being secret, then it's probably not really secret, I just have nothing further to contribute on that subject than I have already contributed.

If I ignore your request for information X, its' because I've already answered it elsewhere and your request is the nth identical request I have received.

1712  Other / Off-topic / Re: BFL Requests Input on: October 28, 2012, 06:49:46 AM
Edit: Listen Inaba, it is not a personal issue. It is an issue of your conduct. You have more than presented a very bad image for BFL all over this section.

You keep saying this, please provide proof.

Quote
There are countless individuals all over the board who comment on it in nearly every thread. This is not an [isolated] issue of "psychopathy" on my part. (?) Unless everyone is crazy, you have a very bad reputation and that reputation affects your employers business image and their business. Several members have been disgusted at your behavior or feedback and have gone so far as to request refunds.

Countless?  Are you not able to count to ten?  There are a few select individuals, out of the thousands on the forums, and most of those are known trolls or sock puppet accounts.  You keep saying that I have a very bad reputation and that it somehow affects the employers business. I am curious as to how you know how business is at BFL?  Can you please detail how you know this?  You don't, yet you keep stating it as some sort of fact.  

Quote
You have openly told me you want to ban me if I attempt to bring the issue or your posted material up on the BFL forum. This was just in the last page. Before that, you stated publicly that you didn't want any of BitCoinTalks "crazyness" to come to BFL's board. Even before that, you have stated that BFL wishes to have limited contact with BitCoinTalk. [You said due to the community members being "trolls".

This is absolutely true.  You are the clinical definition of a psychopath (I am not using that term in the pop-culture definition).  Your emails clearly indicate that you have a disorder.  Your posts here indicate you have a weird fixation with me (A script, really?).  So yes, I would ban you if you tried to bring your particular brand of crazy to the BFL forums, that is absolutely true.

Quote
You have personally responded to my posts and told me that "this community" (BitCoinTalk.com) is ~useless~ in several ways.

I thought I made this clear - it's useless for communication on certain issues because of people like you.

Quote
After reading the episodic nonsense that people wrote and questioning you about them, I tried to clean out the mess and start a real discussion where I could. The attacks have gone down dramatically. (especially FUD = Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt)

Oh, by all means, point me at your "rational" discussion you tried to start.

Now that you seemingly confirmed you haven't changed, and have actually tried to tell me to finish what I started. I have a renewed purpose to complete the complaint and possibly go a few steps further.

By all means, rock on!  If you were a US citizen and I were as petty as you,
You are one sick fellow.

You really don't know when to stop. I will add a copy of your statement for BFL review. I am certain of one thing, they will not sanction your [creepily disturbing] behavior.

Did you use confidential company information to do a background search?

I'm sorry you feel that way.  Unfortunately, the only sick one here is you.  You don't even realize how irrational and nutty you sound.  So far you have:

A) Threatened to cyber-stalk me.
B) Sent false accusations to my employer.
C) Posted false information about me on the forums.

Sorry man, your delusions are fairly epic, even for Bitcointalk.  

Why don't you post the wonderfully paranoid letter you sent the first time?  It is a very interesting read as a case study of a potential psychopath.  I must apologize, I was looking at the wrong originating IP of your email.  It appears you are in fact in the US, which means you are subject to US law... Personally, I would recommend you discontinue posting slanderous remarks about me on a public forum as well as sending private, threatening (not to mention false) emails to my employer.

"BFL the company to make things right..." That is a laugh.  Tell me, what is it you think is "wrong?"  Much like the reply to your email, asking for further information which you failed to provide, I am asking you to detail where in my posts I have made slanderous or libelous remarks.  What about my posts offend you so much that you need restitution?  You, who is not now, not in the past and not a future customer of BFL.  What have I done to you that things need to be "set right?"

By all means, rock on!  If you were a US citizen and I were as petty as you, you do realize that it's you who has committed slander and libel against me, right?  You have made accusations, with full knowledge that they are false, to my employer.  I, on the other hand, have committed neither slander nor libel, as you have accused me of.  Furthermore, we have requested that you provide evidence of your claims and to date you have failed to do so.  Slander and libel indeed.

Quote
As for "FUD". as long as anyone has used your statements as a foundation for their basis...well, need I say more?

I have no idea what this even means.

Quote
You do a disservice to your company, sir. You don't even want your own written words on your own company forum. I am pretty sure you would ban me from your company forum if I so much as post some of your posts and air my complaints there.

Am I wrong about this? Or will you tell me that it is an inappropriate channel to air complaints?

Yes, I would ban you, you are absolutely right.  You are a troll and I do not want trolls on the forum.  Your posts have no substance.  You make claims and accusations repeatedly but you fail to provide any evidence for your claims.  I have encouraged you in the past, repeatedly, to make your script to document my allegedly heinous actions.  As I suspected when I encouraged you to do so, you've gone back through my posts and realized that perhaps you might be mistaken.  I am sure you will tell me I am  wrong, and again I will encourage you to go make your script and post it wherever you want, but you aren't posting it on the BFL forums.

Quote
Anyway, you've basically said, less talk, more action. So I will oblige your request until your superiors have a word with you about how you treat customers or prospective customers. I didn't want to cause you any trouble as long as you did take a conscious look at your behavior and tone it down, which I thought was the case.

Yes, more action, less talk.  Put up or shut up.  To date, you've done neither and I suspect you are incapable of both as the reason.  You, sir, are not a customer nor are you a prospective customer, so I owe you exactly nothing.


1715  Other / Off-topic / Re: BFL Requests Input on: October 28, 2012, 12:17:43 AM
Just like the documented complaint you sent that you never were able to respond to, since your complaint was false?  By all means, send another!  We're still waiting for a response from you for the first one... but it's understandable that you haven't responded, since you can't provide any evidence for your accusations, which has been requested. Smiley  I noticed you posted our response to you, and you asked for links on Bitcointalk, here.  Curiously, no one responded to you, I wonder why?

Just like everything else you post, more misinformation and FUD, with no ability to back up your claims.

Stats should be fixed now.  There was a minor hiccup but stat processing caught up pretty quickly.  As for not being able to login, I'm not seeing any problems there. Are you still having problems?
1717  Economy / Services / Re: Looking for someone to create/modify software for this forum [3600+ BTC] on: October 27, 2012, 08:39:19 PM
Rude?  Yes, absolutely. I  have very little tolerance for people who are too stupid to formulate an intelligent reply.  Again, if you go back through my posts, if you approach me with civility and intelligence, you usually get the same in response.  You approach me with rudeness and/or stupidity, you get rudeness in response.  It's pretty simple actually.

Again, you and your post is a good example.  You approach me with name calling (and it's not even accurate) and you (apparently?) expect me to be civil to you?  Seriously?
1718  Economy / Services / Re: Looking for someone to create/modify software for this forum [3600+ BTC] on: October 27, 2012, 08:29:03 PM
Somehow, I don't think you understand what a troll is.  Nice try, though. *golf clap*

Before you come back with some mind bendingly stupid response as to how I really am a troll, please provide citations where my posts are made purely to disrupt the forum and/or take the thread off topic.  What you will find is that my posts are typically on topic (or if they stray off topic it's in response to someone else who has posted an off topic reply, such as this one.) and relevant to the discussion at hand.  You can try to redefine troll in whatever manner you see fit, but you will be wrong. Ergo, labeling me a troll is incorrect, no matter how much you want it to be.  I know it's easier to label me a troll than to actually address the questions or comments I make with logic, forethought and rational discussion, since that is usually in short supply in most people, you being a good example.

1719  Economy / Services / Re: Looking for someone to create/modify software for this forum [3600+ BTC] on: October 27, 2012, 07:37:54 PM
WAP lol... seriously?  You want us to use a feature designed for phones that do text only and through a protocol that was dead before it was even born?  Come on.  Forum Runner and Tapatalk should be supported at a bare minimum.

Quote
Huh? I've improved the moderator tools a lot. And this doesn't impact you much, since you're not a moderator.

Yes, it does affect me because the moderators can't do their job properly.

Quote
Watchlist.

Is not a subscription.  The watchlist function is barely adequate and is basically a hack on top of a hack to make a feature that should be in the base forum software.  It is, in a word, craptacular.  I have to go to two separate places to find threads I want to pay attention to.  Then, once I post in that thread I can't @#%#@$ remove it from my list of watched threads if I lose interest in it, without deleting ALL MY POSTS in that thread.  Pure, utter stupidity.

Quote
I probably wouldn't introduce one of those fancy WYSIWYG editors even if I could do so for free. I hate using them on other sites because they interfere with the features my browser gives me for textboxes, and they would encourage people to use more annoying markup. I do not want to see people making all of their posts in some unusual color and font in order to stand out or be unique. That's just annoying.

I'm not sure what sites you are using or what browser you are using, but you're using the wrong ones in either case.  Try some on modern forum software on a modern browser.  They work fine and don't interfere at all.

Quote
It isn't too bad. I use it pretty frequently, though Google is better for some searches.

Again, much like the watchlist, it's barely adequate.  If you want to strive for mediocrity, then it's a win.

Quote
There won't be a global reputation system. This forum is for discussion, which global reputation systems interfere with.

A web of trust reputation system would be good.

Sorry, but normal people don't use junk like that.  Look at the current WoT.  It's barely used compared to the community here.  It's a failure because it's too difficult to use.  It needs to be built in to the forum and simple, otherwise people won't use it, no matter how superior it is.  

Quote
These would be nice, but they're not priorities. I worry about supporting discussion first and trading second.

Great!  Switching to modern forum software will accomplish this goal perfectly.  Sticking with the bug ridden, feature bare, security holed SMF is not furthering that goal.  It's putting a forum on life support and hoping for the best.

Quote
Have you ever even seen automated spam outside of the newbies section?

Yes... and when I tried to report the multiple threads, I got the stupid "You must wait 20 seconds between posts" so I didn't bother reporting the three other threads that were posted after the first one.

Quote
What's wrong with posting links? Then you can handle the links however you want in your browser. Use a browser-based image gallery userscript if you want.

Because it's a pain in the ass.  Again, you don't seem to understand that people want convenience, not a complicated ritual to post a !@#%#@$ image.  It's called making your forum rich in content, not making it user hostile.  With an image gallery/attachment manager, you can have the best of both worlds - people can still post links if they want, or they can use the built in tools that allow them to communicate instead of trying to decipher how to post an image.

Quote
That'd be a good feature, but it's not a priority.

Then what is a priority?  You don't seem to be advancing anything as a priority.  Everything that makes a good forum is "not a priority" so far.

Quote
Advanced in what way?

I'm not saying that we're staying with SMF forever. There are many improvements to make, and I'm uneasy about SMF's security. But SMF works pretty well.

Take a look at the profiles of a modern forums software package for an idea.  Yes, SMF works pretty well for something from 1999.  It works like a piece of crap for something from 2010... and here it is almost 2013.

This thread will be a year old in another few days and there has been exactly zero advancement of this forum as far as security and features go.  It's the same forum from a year ago.  You are never going to get custom software written in a reasonable timeframe.  Just pick one of the modern forum packages and go with it.  I suggest vBulletin, but I honestly don't care what package you go with, so long as it has modern features and abilities.
