I think you are barking up the wrong tree.

So now he suddenly doesn't exist. Gimme some of what you are smoking, Gage, cause I would like to imagine that quite a few people no longer exist, especially Mr. President and all his cronies.

Sorry, I don't employ people that sound as if they are axe murderers behind their online personas. Generally what shows through online translates fairly closely to what gets demonstrated in real life.

Mod edit: The information about ranks is outdated and no longer accurate, see this thread for up to date information

So you may be wondering whether you should trust someone based on those fancy coins under their name, or perhaps their post count. The short answer is: Do not use these rankings to determine trust!
This post is intended to show you as a future trader how easy it is to get a rank, so that you can be wiser when conducting a trade. As a side note, I always recommend using escrow when possible, especially when you have not previously traded with someone. Always read their posts in their profile to help determine whether they are contributing positively and to attempt to determine trust. Search the forums for more detail and read the other stickies relating to trading discussions and trust.

All the main ranks that can be handed out to normal users are: Brand New, Newbie, Jr. Member, Full Member, Sr. Member, and Hero Member.
Special notes for Newbie status: If a user has been whitelisted manually by forum administration, they will retain Newbie status regardless of their post count, until they have fulfilled a minimum of 4 hours logged in.

In addition to the main rankings, there are also sub-rankings that can be applied, and those are: SCAMMER, Donator, and VIP. Besides the colors, Donators and VIPs get other perks such as access to a secret subforum dedicated to them, and the ability change their usernames whenever they want from within their profiles. SCAMMERs have several restrictions, but are still allowed to post unless they are banned for another reason. SCAMMERs cannot change their profile (including signature, avatar, etc), cannot edit their posts later, and other things.

Finally, staff sub-rankings are as follows: Staff, Moderator, Global Moderator, Administrator, and Founder. Staff members have access to a special "Staff" board where forum moderation is discussed, as well as to the Donator board. Any staff member can whitelist a newbie, just ask!

Yes it is, and the GPUMAX login for the worker is different than for the website login, so not a problem there. Dump is 20ish MB, I'll see if I can upload it somewhere and give you the link.

EDIT: Not sure if the dump is any good, when I open it in Visual Studio, it says: You cannot debug a 64-bit dump of a 32-bit process, you must collect a 32-bit dump of a 32-bit process. But I'm not sure how to do that.

Updated, thanks for the info.

EDIT: Can't seem to figure out why the first column width won't go any wider, I'm trying to make "Global Moderator" so it doesn't wrap, but can't seem to manage it.

Good idea. I just updated it a bit more; if a mod wants to post it there and stick it, that would be fine with me. I block the newbie board because it is annoying, so I won't post it there.

Thanks! I just gave it some table love.

Makes me wonder.... Would it not be possible for the mods/admins to get their own group, even if it was identical to the default group? I've not used the software from an admin standpoint so I'm not sure how it works.

Get a life, Gage, and go find a hooker. Or give Chicago Cabbie his wallet. Either way, don't you have some barns to look at instead of wasting time here?

I remember hearing about an Ozcoin stack of orphans that was 9 blocks, apparently AU got somewhat partitioned off the network from the rest of the world. That was a long time ago. I don't know of any greater than that.

Hey look, a bunny

Flaxceed for the win.
Annoying troll cannot compete.

Also, I ran out of tinfoil. You guys got any you can spare?

How about some screenshot action. This is what keeps happening, and this time I decided to make a core dump of the process. The command window when I found it was not accepting button presses, so it seems that the mining process had frozen entirely. Since the U number was so low, it was obvious that the process had continued to run even after the unit stopped hashing, and froze much later - the U is normally around 11-12, and the average hash rate is normally around 865 not 675. As you can see from the screenshot, the last LP that it reported before it froze was at 13:53:09 Eastern Time, and it had stopped considerably before that although I'm not sure when. Screenshot was taken at around 14:30.

In addition, the secondary internal red light on the BFL unit was steady on, and not blinking every 5 seconds as expected. It also was idling and not running at full burn or stuck in a loop. Normally when the machine is idle, the internal red light goes dim.

I am not sure what the core dump contains, so I won't post it, but if Con, Kano, or Luke-Jr want to see it just ask and I will send it over.

+1

The main thing is a way to validate it on the client side. The storage of the fingerprint in the Namecoin system already works.

They didn't invent any new improvement, they are simply using it to it's full extent and not cutting corners in the deployment of the system. If you need more details, read the technical docs.
