It would be a nice surprise to see bitcoincard in the next issue of Bitcoin Magazine Fat chance, apparently MNW is developing a competitor to it that he doesn't want anyone to know about, so he probably wouldn't allow such an article to be included. My role at Bitcoin Magazine isn't to exclude legitimate stories of innovation in Bitcoin. It's to include legitimate news. When bitcoincard is proven to be more than just an over-hyped self-contradicting pipe dream website, I would be more than happy to write an entire piece on it for the print issue. The same goes for MintChip (which will probably end up as a colossal failure but I hope -that- succeeds as well as it serves a purpose). If the Ellet ever gets an article, it'll be because it's been proven, not because I have some kind of special interest in it. Your horridly inaccurate underestimation of our journalistic integrity is quite sickening. I want the same thing you want-- less bullshit and vaporware and more movement. Yet instead of bothering to build something or participate in a movement, you prefer to poke fun at me and all my personal advances in the Bitcoin economy. Classy. Open your eyes to the facts: why don't these bitcoincard guys stick to what they say instead of completely contradicting themselves in their uberhype videos? "Doesn't rely on infrastructure"? What do you call requiring everyone in the world to hold a gateway repeater to the benefit of their neighbors? What do you call a USB dongle? Give me a break. I hope this is all clarified in this trip (that's why they're going afterall), but I'm not holding my breath because we've already found the solution and don't need to wait on anyone else. As a community, we're all waiting to see what Erik and Charlie gather on their trip to Vienna, but I can't say I personally have much faith in any of this being more than fishing for investors for a product that markets itself as a privacy invasive DOA piece of hardware that requires a major rebuilding of a communications infrastructure just so you can be force fed ads. Number one reason why you need an "Announcements" account and a "trolling account". Also your view is being jaded because you are competition, so I think we shall just sit back and see what happens. Furthermore, that statement was from before you actually made the "Ellet" announcement and gave more than just superficial details about it, so gimme a break.

10 BTC/month for hosting, that is DDoS proof? Please, tell me who your host is!
Hosted by MtGox, who use Prolexic for DDoS protection. If you were asking in order to obtain the same protection for your own use, I must sadly inform you that it will cost at least $10k/month. Or, if you were wondering why a DDoS attempt failed miserably, that would be because Prolexic knows their shit and does it right.

Excuse me, but why are we letting CoinExchanger and his sockpuppet account Maria continue to spam this thread with utter bullshit?
They don't have any claims at Bitcoinica. In fact, CoinExchanger has gone out of his way to make fun of Bitcoinica, calling it a scam and saying he's glad that Bitcoinica was hacked, even accepting coins from the Linode hack with a smile on his face.
CoinExchange and sockpuppet Maria: Please go to hell. Thanks.

im in ur fpga stealin ur hashez
It's ways more serious than that. I'm not surprised with this being possible, but I am amused to read that it actually happened. As far as we know, the major FPGA manufacturers don't give a flying fuck about Bitcoin and haven't coded anything into the devices to interrupt mining. The reason is that the devices that most miners are using are extremely common and in use elsewhere in other applications, and indeed Bitcoin might only represent a fraction of a fraction of a percentage of the total sales of such devices around the world. If you look, you would notice that the article is specifically referring to an expensive custom FPGA designed for governmental use, likely one that would cost tens of thousands of dollars per chip. Quite a bit different than the $150 chips that most of the Bitcoin miners use.

I'm trying to generate some 6~8 char longs for some months already ... it's really hard, but maybe I can get lucky ...
Months really? It shouldn't be taking that long.. Here, have a 9 char addy: 1FreenodeMrq7gKn91wR4meJKEbi9RNa8M (since the 1 counts as a character) That was found along with one other less desirable one - less desirable because of the case mixture like 1FreEnoDe - because it was lucky in case-insensitive mode. Even if you require case-sensitivity, I recommend you run it in non-case-sensitive mode because then you will get several options and might get lucky. Also, oclvanitygen running on a 5870 or similar hardware is much better and faster.

This is something a bitcoincard wouldn't be able to do,
What makes you say that?

If you look at the completed listings on ebay, they are going for $30-$60 depending on condition and accessories.
OK I had a look - seems like closer to 9 BTC with shipping is market price. I think I might even still have the box and manuals somewhere. wallet= 1HW24ebCxSvRfTHDeQVuEkQCnULoqhAmh9 PM an address and I'll see about shipping soon. Might not be til Monday.

Am I getting closer? Hm, we can see that the Crypto staff is very muchly able to change their writing styles. Hell, looking at those logs Crypto sounded illiterate himself but come time to rep. himself on the forum he's all nice and proper. So what's your hidden agenda?
Nope. Just another Bitcoiner from Columbus, Ohio with a not-very-hidden agenda of knowing all there is to know about Bitcoin and exposing the scams and bullshit that I see too much of. Fly over here one day, maybe I'll meet you at the airport.

Sure, you've been blindly riding their dick from thread to thread. How much are they paying you? Or are you Mr. Bitcoin/ Crypto. Maybe you're Mahin.
Sorry I can't fulfill your gay fantasies, I have no experience there nor do I wish to have any. I'm sure if you cared to check, you would find that my writing style is way different from any of theirs. And dare I say it myself, probably a bit more precise and readable.

I think this kid has illegitimate connections with them.

Symptoms include, but not limited to:
- Severe addition to buying bitcoins, the more interesting a method used the better - Constant checking of forums for new updates, to the point where it affects work and relationships - Only wanting to hang out with other bitcoiners - Wearing bitcoin T-shirts and decorating your car with bitcoin bumper stickers - Little understanding as to why others don't "get it" and use bitcoin - Only drink out of a bitcoin mug - First thing you do in the morning is check bitcoinwatch.com, and then head to the forums - Wonder why anyone cares about the value of your state currency anymore - Plan out how you will spend your billions when bitcoin becomes mainstream - Talk about bitcoin so much that your friends and family know you as "that guy who's obsessed with bitcoin" - Believe real world women should be impressed that you are able to make money "on the dark web"
Where will this condition lead?? Is there a cure??

Ok, no problem. As long as it works I can get the maps. Just give me a good deal on the unit Hmm, I dunno. How does 13BTC with shipping sound? Not sure how much these things go for.

come on you bums. someone has a gps they want to part with!
Hmm I didn't notice this til now. My car has a GPS in it so my Garmin is now defunct. However, the maps are over a year old and probably deserve an update - but the update isn't cheap. Also the device has been registered with Garmin's website, so I would have to see whether it can be easily transferred. It is a Nuvi 1390t with free ad-supported traffic info. I'm not sure of the state of the battery, last I checked it was dead but it should hold a charge for at least a few hours I would think. It has an SD card slot for expansion, but no card right now. I also have a huge repository of Pigtones.com ( weird, site seems to have a compromised script installed right now? Must be a recent problem...) voices installed, so you can have George Bush, Clint Eastwood, GLaDOS, Beevis and Butthead, or any number of other characters guide you around. I have no idea what it is worth, make an offer.

There have been a large number of AV programs flagging bitmining programs as false positives. You can complain to your AV company, and ignore them for now.
This, and also be sure that you downloaded the mining programs only from the official topics and/or websites of the software coders.

Do you really need a server that big? How are your CPU Loads over the last 30 days?
I've been playing around with a p2pool server that is 1/4 the cost of yours, and I'm only about 40% CPU load. But I'm only serving 1.2 GH/s right now, and don't know how well GH/s scales up with CPU Load. Don't forget p2pmining also is merged mining, Litecoin is a beast on memory according to JayCoin. Don't know how it fairs on CPU load. So sorry I forget to say I'm running merged mining all alt coins and litecoin. My p2pool is taking around half a gig of ram and litecoin is taking around half a gig of ram each. Well besides the number of users, there is also the website, which I assume is on the same server. Apache is a massive resource hog unless it is tuned very carefully, and so that could add a bit of load.
