I also uninstalled and reinstalled the client, and played with the options a fair bit to no avail.

It worked for a little while but now can not connects again.  I've restarted, turned Avast on and off, shut down the client and restarted- nothing will make it connect again.

Biggest problem is the owner can win himself on every draw and it would be impossible to know.

Does such software exist?  Input Mhash/sec, kwh cost in USD, pool fees/payout method, bitcoin current value in USD, output=$ per month of 24/7 mining?

1825  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: mt gox to Bitcoin client - noob question on: June 10, 2011, 08:57:08 AM
0.3.21-beta.  And thank you for your help!
1826  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: mt gox to Bitcoin client - noob question on: June 10, 2011, 08:53:19 AM
In the lower right hand corner of the client window?  It says 129413 blocks.
1827  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: mt gox to Bitcoin client - noob question on: June 10, 2011, 08:49:25 AM
yeah, i tried that and it made no difference. 
1828  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: mt gox to Bitcoin client - noob question on: June 10, 2011, 08:44:59 AM
I have windows XP sp3, and use Avast. 
1829  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: mt gox to Bitcoin client - noob question on: June 10, 2011, 08:41:29 AM
My client is not connected.  What should I do?

"You definitely need to read up more on bitcoin before you get all high and mighty and pointing out 'problems'."

Let's try to be civil to newcomers asking questions.

Bitcoin has come so far, so fast- it's been a dazzling rise.  And a lot of people are doing a wonderful job getting the word out and supporting the project in many different ways.  I think if there is to be a lot more progress in the near future, some aspects of bitcoin need to be presented in a more user-friendly way.  The tech people involved are doing great things.  But we also need some people who have an outsider's viewpoint and can say "hey- my mom would never understand this as presented.  Is there a way to say it differently to make it more easily digested?"

No, surely not everyone needs to know how the technology works precisely.  That is not the point.  And when you use terms like "dumb it down" you are alienating a lot of people who are potential supporters of your cause.  The fact that people are here on the board and talking with you is important.  They are a valuable resource and can contribute a lot to bitcoin in ways that you may not be able to. 

I think that writing software is not the only way to make bitcoin better.  Also pure techies can not be the be-all, end-all of bitcoin or it will implode.

"Agreed. The learning curve is too steep. Techies are so entrenched in it, they can't or don't see it from the outside. I understand very little of the geek speak and jargon that flies back and forth on these forums, but I have a background in finance and mathematics, so I can kind of figure it out as I go. The oft references wiki is inadequate, but has potential. Yet the thought constantly occurs to me that there needs to be a MUCH easier user interface and clearer explanations of pretty much everything. And I'm talking dumbed down! And that goes for the monetary aspects, too. Whether we're trying to explain what P2P means, or how central banks functions, most people are misinformed or completely uninformed. Would your mother or grandmother understand your explanation of bitcoin? "

Until this is understood bitcoin will go nowhere.  Brilliant assessment MarketNeutral.  [applause]

How big is this file?  Will it grow huge over time?  What size thumb drive should be used?

What is an original minus?  What does it mean?
1836  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: TradeHill will become the top site over MTGox because of Referral and Discount on: June 09, 2011, 05:20:33 PM
From the Deposit Funds page on TradeHill:

"TradeHill has over 50 deposit and transfer methods in over 20 currencies thanks to our global network."

That statement is simply ridiculous.  They have three methods- Dwolla, Liberty Reserve, and bank transfer.

Wow this bitcoin thing isn't for people with short attention spans is it?  No instant gratification here.

Good luck tsvekric!  Maybe everyone thinks btc is going to $100 or $1000?  They are not eager to part with it.

.09 anyone??  Make an offer!
