I was using IE then (I have ad blocker on Chrome which was why I had to use IE  ) but I just tested it on Chrome and it does look centered to me now. Must just be a bug with IE.

But wow, the queue has sure grown from when I tested it out yesterday - I'm number 461 in line right now. It could just be bots clogging up the site, because it's hard to believe that there are 460 other people waiting on valid requests right now.

Great work! I just tested with my account and it found my account's estimated value in less than 15 seconds. I do have one suggestion regarding the ads. The top banner ad looks a little out of place, maybe if you centered it that would make it look a little better? But overall great work, the only other thing maybe worth tweaking a little bit is the formula for finding the account value, it estimated that my account is worth ~ 0.12 BTC. I'd estimate that it would actually be worth 0.07 BTC or so at most, since Senior Member accounts seem to be selling for fairly cheap here now ( < 0.2 BTC).

Do you mean you're interested in finding the electricity cost/use per block found? Because electricity cost per hash doesn't change with difficulty, that only changes with the gear used to mine on. An Antminer S5 will always hash at 1155GH/s while using ~ 590W, so it's "hash efficiency" will always be 1.96GH/s per watt. However as the difficulty increases, it'll cost more on average to find a block with an S5, because it'll take longer to do so.

You could still claim that your account was stolen even if the email address associated with them is changed. After all, isn't that what a hacker would do if they did gain access to your account? I doubt you'll be able to get a loan here using those as collateral since these accounts aren't considered valid collateral. You'll need to find a well-known altcoin, or some Bitcointalk accounts instead to use as collateral.

If your seed is encrypted through PGP, then you should be safe even if a hacker has access to the encrypted file. As long as you don't store an unencrypted copy of your PGP private key in cloud storage along with your encrypted seed, you should be safe for years to come because the encryption PGP uses is so strong.

Oops, sorry about my incorrect answer. I just had a chance to test EcuaMobi's method on my Electrum wallet and it worked just as it should. I originally was using an address as well in the public key area. Thanks for clearing that up EM!

I just tested it on my copy of Electrum 2.3.2 on Windows and I get the same error as you, so I think it's safe to say that the function is still disabled on 2.3.2.

Your percentage will only change when a mod reviews your report and either marks it with a yes or no. It's not instant, but if you reported a bunch of those spam posts in the last 15 minutes or so expect your percentage to change in the next couple of hours as mods review the reports.

It's possible that's the case, but it seems like an odd amount, which was why I'm unsure. I'll wait to see what they say, but I also see that I have a Q beside my name on the spreadsheet, and it looks like that means I was making quality posts.

It's a shame to see this campaign shutting down, was one of the best campaigns on these forums.

vervolioman/master-P, I would like to bring one thing to your attention, it looks like I was overpaid for this last week by quite a bit. By my calculations I should have been paid 0.0328 BTC (41 posts x 0.0008 BTC / post) but instead I was paid 0.05728 BTC. Please let me know what to do with this extra amount, but I can send it back to you if it was sent out in mistake.

A bitcoin address I am in control of is 1BTvaus9gBkknn4TNDBvbYwMhhiTfxpXJD.

If someone could quote this message, that would be perfect.

That is a nice incentive they offer, but the chance you'd be paid $10 for running your node is 1/195 every week, which is fairly low. If the developers wanted to really encourage people to run more stable nodes they could implement something similar to Darkcoin's masternode idea. Basically, to run a masternode the node operator needs a minimum amount of coin in their wallet, and then the node operator will be paid a certain amount of coin per day, depending on how many other masternodes are running at that time. I'm not sure how that all worked out for Darkcoin but it sounds like a decent idea to increase the number of nodes for the network.

I've run a few nodes on and off during the past couple years. I'm not currently running one right now, mostly because it would cost ~ $5 to $7 per month, and I'm not sure if it would benefit the network that much. Ideally I'd like to run one off of my Raspberry Pi or Odroid C1, but the problem with both of those is finding somewhere to store the blockchain. Plus I've heard that the Pi can't support much more than 8 connections, and it's more of a burden on the network than an aid. My network is fairly slow as well (~2.5 Mbps upload speed) and if I'm not careful to meter whatever I run the node on, it just brings my whole network to a complete crawl. However if I upgrade my internet connection sometime to something with a more reasonable upload speed then I'd definitely take a look at trying to set one up on the Odroid.

The forums really need a way to stop this spamming. I've suggested before banning the fastminer links, but others brought up the point that it could be bypassed very easily. I have another idea though, if a user is posting constantly like these users are (every minute or two) why not require them to fill out a quick captcha when they attempt to post? That would only happen if the user has posted something like, 5 posts in less than 5 minutes, and could be implemented similarly to how the "a new post was posted while you were writing your post" page is shown when a user is trying to post. I think that would really cut down on the spam from the Fastminer malware, as each hacked account would only post five posts or so before the captcha comes into effect, and then the bot wouldn't be able to post anymore.

I didn't realize that this only happened once before (I thought I read about it happening at least a few times on /r/Bitcoin) but yeah it's really good of them to stand up for the customer in this case and help them financially.

I took another look at Purse.io just a few hours ago and it looks like if you're a total newbie, you can't choose a discount percentage, and have to buy your order directly through Purse for a few percent off. I'm guessing as your account ages and you have more transactions under your belt, then they'd start to loosen rules and allow you to post your listing and listing price, to choose a percentage off.

If he's on Bitcointalk anyway, there's no real reason to not enroll in a signature campaign. He'll get paid a small amount (probably comparable to that of faucets because he's a newbie) for posting here, and that amount will only grow as his account ranks up as well.

If the service does it right there's no risk to the user. They can use a method called "split key generation"  where the user generates part of the private key (which they keep a secret), and then the party doing the actual generating of the vanity address generates the other part of the private key. When the two private keys are put together the user receives their vanity address securely, and the party generating the address has no way to access the vanity address.

Correct, I just took a look through the source code and it does indeed only request a page every two seconds, the code has some comments regarding the access limit on the forum as well:

0.3 BTC per account is a really high price for a Senior account. I've seen quite a few recently going for < 0.2 BTC, but I'd suggest 0.2 as a good starting point if you want to move these accounts.

If you don't feel like going through Purse.io (I know they had a lot of fraud problems a few months ago, some buyers even had police knocking on their door asking them about the fraud) your other option would be to use Gyft and buy Amazon gift cards. If you go that route, you can get 5% cash back on all purchases (it's normally 3% when paying with bitcoin, but they currently have a 5% promo). I've used them many times before and never had an issue, so I'd highly recommend them.
