Okay, so you're running a linux distro with a virtual machine. Fine.
I'd be happy to point you to the relevant instructions using a google search - if you give me the name and/or model of your router.
You don't have to change your subject, it would just help clarify the situation - since the bitcoin vs. bank argument really doesn't hold any water when it is completely up-to-date.

I'd do two things:
Change the subject to - "Bitcoin without an updated blockchain is slower than my bank"
Forward port 8333 to your machine running the client.
Also, I agree that it isn't very obvious that you needed to have the blockchain updated at all with the current client design. Just one of the pitfalls of being in beta.

The pool operators could get another ingress to their 'head end' servers and be protected by another provisioned path, or split up their pools to sub-pools operating on different providers. Just a strategy to provide numerous smaller targets than one big one. Or everyone could go to solo-mining, but I doubt that would happen.

It is one of the few ideas that has ever excited me in the same way as learning about the internet. Just the far-reaching implications, sprawling out to the future. Whatever iteration survives, I know the world won't be the same. (Though I am biased in thinking that the current implementation is solid enough, just needs peripheral enhancements.)

Zong is centralized, so it can be controlled by Ebay/government/whomever. It has nothing on Bitcoin.
Average people don't really care that much about "been controlled" by ? and ? and ?. But a natural fallout of that is the fees that accrue at every stop along the way. Average people sure care about that. That is why bitcoin has the edge. |

I honestly think he should just be the resource for exchanges to plot their data. (And collect a bit of their fees for his trouble.) The features and design are just that good. Really like how he has a way to communicating updates - something the exchanges should do by default.

Why Latin? The worlds language is english...  I just happen to like latin, and latin is the root for many languages in the world. I balked at doing english because I wanted a wider appeal to a common ancestry - a metaphor for the 'genesis block' in the chain of bitcoin. |

Governed by math,
controlled by no-one,
freedom to spend.

The slogan is too long and too complicated. I suggest a shorter one:
"For freedom"
It probably wouldn't seem so 'complicated' if the type was smaller and embedded in a design around the perimeter. I'll think about it some more and see what I can do. |

@DamienBlackI'll gladly send an .obj file, it is quite small. Just send me a message here with your details. I like your color-adjusted snobbery  @RandyMarshBeen thinking about it, I want to make it a bit more complex than it is - so it is in effect a rough draft. I don't have anything on the back side just yet. @TriumVirI just kept messing with google translate until the reverse-translations seemed to come out properly. If you have suggestions, I would be happy to check those out. @mayabongI tried a few different renderers - the final product was done with a fairly oddball dedicated renderer. Any "General Illumination" or "Radiosity Renderer" will provide the same results.

I dislike the colors, but the model is obviously fine. It feels like maybe it should be thicker, but maybe not. It has something a a sleekness to it that thin.
Fair enough, which is why I am releasing the model so it can be tweaked and such. I am a bit surprised that gold isn't popular |

Know about Shapeways.com tim?
If not check it.
Yes, I do Haven't taken a look at what it would cost to print though. |
|
|

that looks pretty awesome. what are you gonna do with these?
Just throwing it out there, no payment required. If someone modifies it and uses it in a project, that is fine by me - just give me proper attribution. Some have expressed interest in possibly 3D Printing it, but I don't know if the model conforms to such specifications. |

Just thought I'd share:  Model is available in .obj or .3ds format if you wish - just PM me. Lots of polys, though. The inscription reads from the top: "The strength of many - chain governs all things"On the bottom: "freedom from oppression - power of the people" |

chodpaba, appreciate the work you've put in, and your willingness to share! Some of what you have posted reminds me of another forecasting technique using Fast-Fourier Transform to extract dominant cycles and apply that as a forecast from current price. I do realize you are doing a probability-based projection, just wanted to share.
Also, I'd like to ask if anyone has daily data from 06/20 to present, that would be very helpful. I haven't kept up on my end with it, and would love to update my charts. (Which I'll share, of course.)

You apparently keep misjudging me. How do you even know I have a position at all?
BubbleBoy's contribution is valuable. As I stated before, price should depend on real world value, speculative expectation is not tenable in the long term. When the economy is actually smaller than Dollar parity, anything like $15/BTC is ludicrously overpriced. The few reasons that keep the bubble from bursting are an immature market, small volumes and traders trying not to pop it while playing for small gains on volume. It could go any minute if someone decides to cash out.
As far as I'm concerned it would be better if the bubble burst quickly, we would go back down to somewhere between actual economy size (below USD parity) and $4 (tenable speculative expectation value) and then grew with the economy.
The sad conclusion from your statements is that you don't care about Bitcoin's future, you're here for the quick buck, with exit strategies in hand. If that is the case than you are no better than the banksters with '2BG2FAIL' vanity plates on their Porsches.
Protip: Real traders, the ones who actually commit money and have a trading plan before they place a trade call this "standard operating procedure". Of course, making price predictions with no skin in the game has been a forum past-time all over the internet, so I'm hardly going to ask you to stop. We just made it to your 'ludicrously overpriced' target. Hope you have a stop-loss order in I'm here for the long haul, and that means, until bitcoin conquers the world - or conversely, it withers to irrelevance. I do know, however, I'll be around long after you've gone. Believe it. |

Second that...canned food. Actually, I am putting everything I have in toilet paper and can openers...plan on making a killing post apocalypse...too bad the money I make won't be worth anything. Food, booze, smokes and various lady-products. You'll be KING, I tell you. |

Not sure if you have actually used the internet over the last 20 years, but usually when an idea comes along and it gets a decent following it isn't just copied, it's copied a LOT. It is inevitable that something Bitcoin inspired is going to come along.
Still would have to overcome first-mover advantage. That doesn't always occur. |
