Really, do tell. If there is no SIM card, that means it can only run on CDMA to access a general purpose mobile network, and those exist almost solely in the USA, since they are old, outdated technology. The rest of the world uses GSM, which requires a SIM.

I am aware that you can access mobile networks at a significantly reduced price for "telemetry" applications that do not require E911 access, but it isn't free and still requires the presence of an identifying technology such as a SIM card or hardcoded MEID (or R-UIM cards locked to specific hardware).

So tell us: What exactly is this magical new no-cost global network, what specific technology is it based on, and how do you plan on it remaining free? I assume at this point that it is free because of your statement "no need for any additional mobile accounts".

Let this be a lesson to you to not trade with newbies without some due diligence!

Did you think you were going to get lucky? Gambling instinct?

Escrow is available - use it!

Well, I might have a connection at Emerson, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't touch the cost or financial stuff. He just might be able to get me the occasional free stuff. But I'll see if he can ballpark it or tell me who to ask.

The thing to remember is that the search box works differently depending on where you are. If you search while you have a thread open, it only searches within that thread. I think the same applies to when you only search within a specific section instead of the whole forum. It still could use a lot of improvement though.

LOL


That server couldn't even run a tenth of mtgox's trading engine load.

Awesome, awesome, awesome. How portable is it? I assume that it runs on the extremely stripped down Java VMs that such phones use, so it should be reasonably compatible.

WD actually just released terabyte sized Velociraptors, but with the exception of the seek times the 3TB drives are cheaper and faster.

Would you be short-stroking these? If so, just use SSDs

Closed loop solution.

Thank you for the tip.

My favorite use-case that I hope can be widely implemented is that of storing a public key fingerprint in the Namecoin system. This is how you can kill off the CA system and still be secure.

Shit what? That's some heavy foam right there.

Don't forget the 350 Mhash/s CPU.

I didn't really read that as making it not possible to transfer between users, but that could be the case. Still awaiting more info.

As far as I know, BFL doesn't plan to offer those cards as Singles.

Perhaps along with requiring a payout lock address be set prior to 2FA auth being enabled, you could code up some kind of validation utility that would validate a message signed by the payout lock address? In that case, the message could be something that is sent as part of an email reset.

Total time logged in: 42 days, 1 hours and 0 minutes.

Require that payout lock be activated before 2FA is activated, and then you can send the remaining funds to that address and delete the account if there is a problem.

This might be annoying if someone wanted to keep their stats and workers, so maybe there could be a way to export the current config and/or stats and re-import to a new account maybe.

Response "true" means it is valid, and "false" means it is not valid.
