I'd prefer if they would not put the extra modules on the invoice in terms of their cost.
Thats a couple of hundreds of euros extra we would have to pay, at least.  Undecided
Those extra three weeks (if it stays that way) do cost a lot already, no matter how many additional modules one will get.

Position in queue: 22x

May I suggest to add another column for the position in the actual queue, as this can be very different from the order number.

Just a question, you mean all users of bitcoin?  If so, that sounds highly impossible, and even if it did happen, do we just sign a petition or something and send it to the current bitcoin team?

The majority of the network.
If there's a hard fork, there will be 2 block chains, one old, one new. The chain where the most miners (by hash/s) are working on, will be the new one, as it is (will get) the longest chain.
If the users (network) do not agree and continue on the old chain (e.g. by using the old client), there will be no hard fork, as the old chain will be longer.
At least that's what I think. Cheesy

There has been at least one hard fork before, when there was a bug in the bitcoin client.
24  Other / Beginners & Help / Best way to change pool payout address (e.g. at Eligius)? on: December 09, 2013, 09:55:55 PM
Greetings!

I've read that it's a good thing to change the address you send your pool payments to, frequently. Up to now I use a single payout address for each pool I am / have been mining with, simply to be able to differentiate the payments. I get that I should change them sometimes at least, but how would you actually do it? And when would you do it?

In my case I'm mining with Eligius only right now and have been using the same payout address for quite a while.
On Eligius, my payout address is my username, so I cannot change it to something different. To get a new payout address, I need a new address as my username, my old balance on the old address won't get transfered, right?
What will happen with my old balance when I switch to a new address, is there any kind of auto-payout for inactive miners? And if so, should I have a minimum in my balance, so it's not consumed by transaction fees or something like that?
Or do you even have a better way to switch the payout address at Eligius?

Feel free to discuss about other pools as well. Wink

Thank you very much!
