You don't understand why nobody likes you because you are so goddamn full of yourself. Ignorant prick.

Can someone TL;DR this thread? I am not going to read so many walls of text.

Yeah I was just providing information about it for you to research because it was brought up. I don't think it would fit in well in this application either.

What if I take a single phase 240V AC motor and attach it to a balanced 100 lb iron disc?
Once it is up to speed it shouldn't be pulling much power to stay running since there is no load.
If there is a 1 second brownout the power from the motor will flow into my subpanel and keep the power on.
Just like a kinetic battery backup but homemade.
Would this work?
Am I correct in assuming the load would be small on the already spinning disc?
I don't know how great that would work for single or split phase. That technique is already in use for 3-phase systems, it was what was done before efficient UPSs based on batteries came along. Some datacenters could run for up to 15 seconds with a continuous 2MW load on such a device when it was sized correctly. |

Capacitors as purely storage devices only work well with DC. You can't store AC current in a battery or a capacitor, you can only hope to correct some kinds of brownout conditions.

Set the BIOS to always start on power fail, and then make sure your init scripts are up to snuff.

or am i confused on its usage? is it more like the Yubikey IS your password?
Read this: http://www.yubico.com/technical-descriptionIt generates OTPs (One Time Passwords) and usually is combined with a normal password. It has a USB thumbdrive form factor, and only one button which is just a touch pad not an actual button. |

Correct, both parties need to sign up at WalletBit with their email as stated in the press release.
You could easily make it so that the wallet has a bitcoin address to receive coins, and so that the user can send to a bitcoin address. There's really no technical reason for not offering that, right? It does have an address to receive funds to, or did you mean something else? |

Vanity addresses are not less secure, if you take the right precautions when generating them, such as having a good RNG. They cannot be distinguished within the blockchain by technical means, other than by the fact that they might be somewhat human readable. But that doesn't make a random humanly readable address from the reference client impossible, it's just less likely to happen. It would be possible for the reference client to spit out my 1Freenode address, but just unlikely.

What about a screen and maybe a USB 2.0 for Yubikey?
That sounds like an interesting idea. I'll add that to the spec list- I wish I knew more about Yubikey other then "I first heard of Yubikey from MtGox"  I'm guessing we'd have to make a deal with them? or do they do custom orders i wonder. They do custom orders with your logo and everything, if you want that. More details at http://www.yubico.com/However, it is free to implement and there are code samples for many languages. The validation can be done with your own server, or with the cloud service that they provide for free. It does need a net connection for validation unless you use it in Fixed Password mode, or unless you use it in Challenge-response mode. |

i don't use that crap.
Oh god, what fail. Didn't you see the amazing regex-fu that coblee showed above? Crap, my ass. I don't understand what he did above. Except he generated a vanitygen address. So what  I am confused ! All Vanitygen does is generate addresses the same way as the reference client except very fast many times in a row. If it happens to stumble across the one you want, it saves it for you. |

Yeap, and I'm pretty sure hellhoundpro is a sock of SexyVictory since they have both "successfully" traded with each other.

Nobody can generate 1bulanula address as it is too big.
Too big? Don't make me laugh - here, I own this one: 1 FreenodeMrq7gKn91wR4meJKEbi9RNa8M Proof: HF7sy3P6JKPqSAxErgiwV64aCrlGQRMw1MkX7OcT0u1XMNcNYJZ3Uz/QMjsa3X3qA+U9dVgzdl1udw6n1tZ1l00= Message: "I own this" To verify: $ ./bitcoind verifymessage 1FreenodeMrq7gKn91wR4meJKEbi9RNa8M HF7sy3P6JKPqSAxErgiwV64aCrlGQRMw1MkX7OcT0u1XMNcNYJZ3Uz/QMjsa3X3qA+U9dVgzdl1udw6n1tZ1l00= "I own this"

Many users use Ozco as their backup pool to GPUMax, so when leasing is available thats where all the hashing goes.
Why is GPUMax so popular? Because they pay more than any other pool possibly can. |

this doesn't make sense to me. how can it "maintain power thru normal use"?
I've heard of low power technologies that generate a small amount of energy when flexed, does it use something like this? Like I said earlier, one full solar charge is enough for 1 month of daily use. It has the same power usage as my Citibank OTP device which I only replace the battery once a year but can generate 3-4 OTP's a day. The reason I mentioned that was because of this: Anyone in the electronics industry can tell you that the e-ink screen, radio transmitter/receiver and other functions of the device cannot be run by such a small solar panel, in fact, it would need a battery the size of the whole card just to run an hour more than likely. On this point Matthew you are incorrect 100%. The device IS ONLY SOLAR POWERED. It doesn't/can't plug into anything. Yet, has a screen and transmitter and provides all the functionality discussed. I asked them how long it could go without any sunlight and the answer was "several months". In fact it is so power-efficient that the retail version (production model) can enable it to power itself from occasional bending (bending the device back and forth to charge it) or even from pushing the buttons during normal usage.Power is not a problem with these. |

1) Do you have proof that it actually sends bitcoins, on it's own, without being hooked up to -any- other devices, wires or batteries, after walking for 10 minutes into the forest, in a dimly lit area where trees shade the device, and your friend 5 feet away holds the same type of device?
have you done this with the Ellet? Yes of course. Why are you talking about the Ellet in this thread? There is a thread for discussions about the Ellet already,. Because you are discussing the bitcoincard in the Ellet thread? Seriously Matt, you sound scared shitless. If you don't want to come across that way, I suggest you keep silent. Please stop posting off-topic. NO U |

Critique: Most of the buttons that are clickable in the javascript use an I-beam on mouseover, instead of a hand as would be expected.
