You submitted a share at difficulty 4 when the requirement was difficulty 2 (i.e. "4/2").  If the share difficulty threshold was set at 16 and you submitted a share of difficulty 36, then it would read "Accepted xxxxxxxx Diff 36/16 GPU 0"

"GPU 0" refers to your graphics card.  If you had two graphics cards mining, it would show something like "GPU 0" and also "GPU 1."  In other words, it's just indicating which graphics card was responsible for submitting that particular share.

I think of a higher difficulty in a pool as solo-mining with a lower difficulty.  If you want to try to be lucky for a day as a GPU or Block Erupter miner, set your stratum difficulty to 128 or 256 and watch the variance kick in.

an idiot, moron

you should be happy that you are still not arrested for fraud instead of bitching to other forum members.

And why is that?  No fraud has been committed, so why would there be arrests made?  Your little fantasy land doesn't apply to reality, sorry.


I'll let my lawyer be the judge of that.  He likes the reality version of reality, not yours.

I'm sure your lawyer is having a good time with Xians', laughing at you guys while they take your money and whisper soothing words in your ear.




No, he's having a good time watching you self-incriminate.

I new the difficulty will go up but not that much. Anyway I do understand it just wanted to know if anyone had any similar experiences?
yes I have had similar experience but with 10 I would have to consider solo mining. It might be the only way to get lucky.

No offense meant during this post at all but when you bought these people have been saying for months how these were going to be simply a short fad and even a toy or miner for the unaware for edu.  You really thought you were going to make ROI with usb block erupters at the price u paid with diff est where they were.

I am honestly interested in your thought pattern that lead to this decision to buy?  Scratching my head here...Are you sure you want to invest 1000 in bitcoins not that its a bad idea...point being be educated about what your investments(the get rich quick phase of btc has long passed).  

BTW You will never find a block with these solo mining, you might wanna buy lottery tickets with this mentality.

FYI I submitted a share difficulty 121M with block erupter

and did you find a block ? the probability of finding a block with 330Mh/s is more like playing lottery

Of course I did.  The share was 121M, while a share > 50.8M will solve a block.

Regardless of which Mcdonalds you go to in the country, you know exactly what you are going to get.

You sure do. An uninspired, semi tasteless, okay tasting burger. At In-n-Out, you also get the same great taste everywhere you go, except it tastes delicious, and is made from 100 percent fresh ingredients, cooked on the spot for you.

Honestly, Hardee's burgers taste better to me than In 'N Out.  In 'N Out "secret sauce" is absolutely disgusting.  And price to me is more important, hence I'd prefer McDonald's because, yes, it's cheaper.  Actually, if I could pick any fast food joint in the world, I'd pick this place Nicky's Red Hots right by my house.  They absolutely obliterate In 'N Out.  But, they have like 2 or 3 stores max.  Actually, I prefer Wendy's over In 'N Out simply because I can get chili or a baked potato, far healthier than anything In 'N Out has to offer.

I honestly don't think your poor taste matters. Even Rassah can't find your opinion useful, given that he's never tried In-n-Out.

Here's some more reliable information:

Yeah, I read your pseudoscience articles.  Gotta love when journalists butcher the scientific method.

My opinion is infinitely more important to me than the opinions of others.  Quit your ad populum bullshit.

Your opinion is more important than that of a large poll? Let me see if I understand: your opinion is more important because it is in disagreement with many people? Also, let me remind you, near the beginning of this thread, you admitted "In-n-Out is tasty", to quote you.

You have a terrible habit of isolating little snippets and totally taking them out of context.  That might work if you told person B a snippet said by person A.  If you think that you can take what I said and spin it back to me to fit the context of your argument, you're a retard.

Yes, my opinion is infinitely more important than a poll, even if that poll contained opinions from an infinite number of people.  You see, I actually think for myself and form my own opinions.  If I say Hardees's is better, it's because it fucking is.  My experience infinitely outweighs others' opinions, and especially your horrible arguments.

I'm still waiting for you to make a relevant point without committing a logical fallacy.  Yeah I said In 'N Out is tasty.  So what?  That doesn't imply a fucking thing about In 'N Out relative to anything else, you dumb fuck.
Girl Scout cookies are tasty too. That doesn't mean McDonald's sucks.  Schmuck.

I created this thread to have a discussion about the topic.  You have instead insisted on replacing the topic of the thread with your own topic. 

That may in part have been my fault, too. Your point is that striking for higher wages was a bad use of their time, he pointed out that higher wages are possible with the In-n-Out example, and I *tried* to point out that In-n-Out has a severe lack of employment opportunities, due to their business model being much more limited than McDonald's. So, i.e. I was trying to say that those striking workers should be glad they have someone around to hire and pay them in the first place, but it all kind of went downhill from there.

That's not your fault.  That's how far he's pushed his own topic -- people reading this thread will assume its about something other than what it was originally intended to be.
1954  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Entitlement Mentality on: August 16, 2013, 09:06:11 PM
I have worked at neither. I have patronized both, obviously.

Ah, so you claim to know the business structure of both companies just because you have bought their products? Hard to believe, considering you have shown time and again that you don't really understand or think things through when it comes to business.

Everything that needs to be known is plain as day:

1. Polls show people like In-n-Out better.
2. Their food is fresher (actually fresh).
3. Their prices are competitive, even better.
4. Their service is great.
5. Their wages are publicized.
6. They're busy as hell. Go to one.
7. They're doing very well.

I didn't say google it. You claimed to understand what McDonalds and In-n-Out businesses do just because you shopped there. I'm sure you shopped at WalMart once before, too. So it should have been pretty obvious to you, based on your shopping experience, that the only reason WalMart is so successful is because WalMart invented a completely new, computerized, and automated supply chain system the likes of which the world has never seen before, and still can't duplicate.

So? I prefer Target, as do lots of other people.

Ok, listen up, you dumbass.  You just listed 7 things that are "everything that needs to be known."

Not a single fucking one of them has ANYTHING to do with the attitudes of striking workers, the topic of the OP.

You're the type of person that makes me want to sacrifice good karma just so I can have fun being a dick to you, and also the type of person that makes me want to report you to a moderator like a child tattling to a grown-up.

I wasn't responding to you, nor your original post. Why do you keep going on about the importance of your original post?

Do you like being stupid?  I can't believe you just asked that question.

I created this thread to have a discussion about the topic.  You have instead insisted on replacing the topic of the thread with your own topic. 

I guess I should've created a thread that contained absolutely nothing that I wanted to discuss.

Imagine going to a steak restaurant, and so you order a steak.  Instead, they bring you the kids' corn dog meal.  When you complain, they ask you, "Why do you insist on the steak?!"

You're an evolutionary cul-de-sac.

Rassah,

Sounds like you really know your stuff about McDonald's. No doubt with their excellent business model and progressive menu, it shouldn't be an issue for them to change their starting pay to well above minimum wage like In-n-Out. At least we both now know that their menu prices won't undergo a rise in price if ever they had to pay their employees more. Kudos to you for pointing this out and rendering the joint's opinion even more suspect, as he was claiming fast food businesses just wouldn't be able to afford it.

I worked at McDonald's Corp for a while, and had the chance to see visit their central office and see how they operate from the inside.
And how the hell do you come to that conclusion after numerous questions from myself and others of "Why should McDonald's deny someone a job if they need it more and are willing to charge less for their labor?"

How does In-n-Out determine whom to give a job to? I can't imagine burger flipping has a lot of qualifications.

I've been in McDonald's many times - no doubt hundreds and hundreds of times. Same with In-n-Out. Experiencing both gives one both perspective. I have both perspectives. You don't.

Hundreds?  Grin

Seems like we have a hypocrite over here. Tell me, did you start hating McDonald's burgers the 100th time you went? Or was it the 101st that really pushed you over the edge?

You think hundreds is a lot in a lifetime? Maybe I also have the perspective of living longer than you.

You might want to get evaluated for dementia, old timer.

I've eaten at both having lived in both Cali and the Midwest.  Unfortunately for you, Rassah and myself have experience with reading comprehension, which gives us perspective that you lack.  We understand what you're saying and so we know your arguments not only suck, but they're in no way relevant to the OP.  You don't understand what we're saying, so you make up your own issue and push it relentlessly so it will appear as though you're not a fucking imbecile.  Maybe if you try harder it'll work!

@ Badbear,

Regardless of what Theymos is entitled to do or not do, I can tell you that my suspicion has increased, and trust decreased, with regards to Theymos as a result of inconsistent moderation, claims that he is protecting scammers, and his avoidance of this thread.  I bet I'm not the only one.

Inconsistent moderation will be caught and scrutinized by others. If enough people are unhappy about it, it's just going to make your job and Thymos's job a lot more annoying.  It also makes this site a target among those that are inconsistently moderated, even if a ban just means they'll create 10 sock puppet  accounts just to troll you harder.

Good one.  You have to love memes, the last retort from bandwagoners and the uncreative.

You're really going to blast someone for sharing an opinion on a public forum founded upon the opinion that Bitcoin is a superior currency, and after voicing your opinion through a picture indicating someone else's opinion about what people should do with their opinions?  Wow.  You're complex.
