You should indicate a quantity.. buying 5 is much different than buying 50.

First things first... don't just uninstall the app.  You will lose your bitcoins for sure.  If you use a file explorer like "File Expert", you can backup the /data/data/de.schildbach.wallet/files folder.

1.39 kept crashing for me, so I reinstalled 1.33 over the top.  I also use titanium backup to do scheduled backups of my phone so I can restore in case of problems.

Totally fucking agree, Escrow FTW... anything over $100 by new/untrusted members instant escrow, no IF's or BUT's. IF someone refuses well you know they are not good for anything.

I'll be requesting a 1 week escrow for my next currency exchange which will be soon, It's quite a bit of money and I just want gift cards in exchange so 1 week holding the money to prove they are real/not stolen/hacked.
1944  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: $500 MtGox/BTC available noobs and paypal welcome on: November 12, 2011, 05:28:49 AM

Would this work? If I offered to send a gift card FIRST, that is worth more than the bitcoins you offer, would you engage in such a deal? I don't see why not as there is no risk factor involved.

(Hypothetical)

So, good plan or not?

No, it won't work and I'll tell you why no one should exchange in that way. #1 rule never deal in gift cards, 99% chance the card is bought with a stolen CC or hacked paypal, it will get canceled with in the hour, if not within 15 minutes.

Hey, at least there is an Auction Subforum now that doesn't allow for deletes/edits.  At least SOMETHING good came out of this.

I also have noticed that the balance in not correct.  It is way too high.  I have not downloaded the very latest so I am hoping the issue may be fixed when I download the pending version.

I was having that issue.  I used a backup from my phone to go back to version 1.33 and the balance is fine.  After watching the wallet and doing a bit of investigating, I discovered when it would incorrectly increase the balance on the versions after 1.3:.

Imagine a scenario where you've accumulated a balance of say 5 btc to your wallet.  The wallet has been opened/closed and the balance is as it should be.  You have your wallet open and someone sends you say 1 btc.  You receive the grey'ed out "pending" notification and your balance increments by 1 to show a balance of 6btc.  You don't wait for a block and instead, you close the wallet because perhaps you have to do other things.  Some time later, you reopen the wallet because you're ready to do a transaction.  The wallet downloads the blocks to catch up from the last time, notices the 1btc transaction (from before) in a block and increments the balance by 1btc (making now 7btc).  6btc are available to send and the wallet shows 1 btc waiting for confirmations when really, there have already been confirmations, its just counting twice.

and I was wrong.  They did submerge the power supply as well.  Obviously this keeps things running cooler but the power use is gonna be much higher.  I don't know how you would make that work for larger scale mining operations without killing your bottom line.

I wish I had the link.  There is an outfit that is selling computer aquariums that they have soaked in mineral oil.

These guys?

[edit] Guess that link is a bit old, but still relevant - they're up to 'V4' now: http://www.pugetsystems.com/aquarium-computer.php

Yes!
1952  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: 8 GPU limit linuxcoin on: November 10, 2011, 05:33:24 PM
The 32bit claim is false. I eventually got 5 GPUs working on 32-bit 11.04 Ubuntu Linux, without any hacking of the ATI drivers or APP SDK.

That's correct, didn't catch that before.  Both the 32bit and 64bit drivers should support at least 8 GPUs currently.

The driver's interface with the OS layer may use 32bit or 64bit addressing depending on the OS, but the binary bits of the driver are likely identical otherwise.  The newer Radeon HDs actually use a 256bit address space to address it's own memory, internally - the exchange with the OS is all serial communication (PCI is serial), so addressing the GPU components from the OS level is just about sending the right hardware address + commands.  

It could easily be a 16bit OS and address an infinite number of GPUs, as long as the driver handles interfacing that with the OS properly.

Awesome.  Diablo3d was the one that gave me my info, but I could have understood it wrong.  Good to know.

I'll take the group of 5 for 125btc as long as you have a copy of the receipt in case I need to RMA.

PM sent.

Thanks! I can't wait.

I wish I had the link.  There is an outfit that is selling computer aquariums that they have soaked in mineral oil.  They were on their second or third iteration, which each being something like 2-3 years and going strong.  I remember them saying even the fans were ok.  The only thing they didn't submerge were the power supplies and the hard drives. They mentioned trying a bubbler to help with the diffusion, but I can't remember if they said it helped or hindered. 

1955  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: Would people be willing to sell BTC for paypal if..... on: November 10, 2011, 02:58:11 PM
Part of the problem with Paypal is that it is against their TOS to trade bitcoins.  There's no way to get around that.  You can sell other things and include bonus bitcoins, but the ultimate transaction must be the the 'something else'.

I think things like linked-in, facebook, twitter can all be faked.  Just because a profile shows a name, doesn't mean it is real.

The sharing of credibility is a good one.  bitcoin-otc.com does this to an extent, but requires GPG to prove that you are you each time you want to authenticate with the bot.  GPG doesn't prove a real world identity, it merely validates your online identity is the same each time. A person can still have multiple GPG accounts.

That being said, if you've got a novel way of doing it, I'm all for it.

1958  Other / Meta / Re: No more signature images on: November 09, 2011, 06:46:33 AM
Why not write a server side script that would allow users to input ad-hoc an external image link, it would then be tested for various properties (i.e. the size of the file, whether it is a valid image file, whether it is a dynamically generated image, whether it obeys the dimension restrictions) and if the image passed the criteria, permission would be given to the post parser to display the embedded image. If not, then the image would not be embedded.

When the images are external, the image itself can always be replaced later.  So just because it passes today or tomorrow, in 3 days, I could keep the same image url, but the image itself is different.  The only solution is local images or no images. Otherwise, there truly is no guarantee.

Without a cpu, I don't think so

I didn't think so either, I just don't get why something must be wrong with it. Meh, it's not the first time a joke went over my head.

I've just learned that it is always better to ask the question, even if it seems stupid.  How much were you asking for the power supply?
1960  Economy / Goods / Re: FS - MSI 890FXA-GD70 on: November 09, 2011, 04:49:04 AM
Selling for BTC equivalent of $125 including shipping. 6 PCIe slots! Can also toss in a 'MyOpenPC' case if desired.

I'm interested.  Stupid question: What's wrong with it?
