$15 Radio Shack Card
$20 Best Buy Card
$25 iTunes Card
One of each.

Looking for Gox Certificate or BTC Proper, equivalent value OBO. Just want to offload some Christmas stuffs that I wasn't quite interested in.
I can send you the physical card or PM you the magic numbers, although as fair warning, I did scratch the scratch part to double check the balances.
On the Best Buy card, it's only good for non-marketplace items, so you might want to keep that in mind.

So be it, but you're still getting more purchases per month if this takes off.  MtGox still uses it after Paypal fell off the map so they have to have a decent success rate, and even if it is within their profit margin to actively troll the Bitcoin Economy, which is stupid, that is gonna come back to bit them in the ass when someone starts something better and more protected on the merchant end.

If you're already in your ecosystem, then they already have authority to redact purchases as they see fit. How does that change if it's IOU's floating around instead of virtual cash?

$3 a month isn't that bad as far as overdraft insurance goes.

Mostly musicals, some italian stuff, and soundtracks to westerns, though there is some '60's rock in there. Obviously I'm breaking the gems off for indivdual selling, but there's only so much you can keep around. As for eating the cost, I was kinda counting on people going for multiple discs on the same order, getting premade mailers over packages and skimping on speed. Might want to set up some sort of bundle deal over individuals and do more research on what can ship where for how much, but I think it's sound, if not super lucrative.

33s LPs, sorry I didn't make that clear.

Hey, testing the waters on marking stuff with Bitcoin. Wanted to set up my own website, but this is easier.  Got a bunch of my grandparents 33 LPs from the '40's to the 80's that aren't all major market fetchers, but still kinda cool. If I sent you a random one for 1 BTC a piece + another to ship them, would any of you guys be interested?

Pretty good, thank you.

So, I want to start a website where I Buy/Sell/Trade physical goods for Bitcoin, mostly because the guys on Pawn Stars make it look awesome, and because I have a lot of books, vinyls, old games, and electronic bits and do-dads to get rid of, and if it makes me a better entrepreneur, then that's kinda cool. Maybe even buy/sell Amazon credit, but I haven't decided if there is enough of a demand to leave that sort of trail.

Anyway, the point. I want to know how I am supposed to run this thing without tripping something or other on the legal side. I'm in the States, and know about the whole lawn mowing analogy, but the wiki wasn't very helpful on what to do if I wanted to start a personal trade, and what paperwork to jump through to not be running what amounts to a black market. Anyone want to throw me a bone on tax law?

BTW, I'm thinking a tumblr for hosting with a private domain. Not in expert in web presence, but that seems sufficient, right?

Cool story, bro. I'd buy the script off you in a heartbeat.

^Only if you start trading. Mining alone won't get you much of nowhere.


Technically, one could take $5 worth of Bitcoin to pass on an Amazon Gift Card to a friendly friend. Would do it myself, but my horde is about .01 BTC tied up in the mines.

Make a website, add it to the wiki, and pass it around. Simple enough.

The problem with going through something like Paypal to get Bitcoin from someone is that since Paypal is very buyer centric, they have an instant refund policy on buyers who do not get their stuff, and will blacklist people for not getting what they are selling to them. So, you try and gift coin to someone who gifts you Paypal things, nothing to stop them from turning around and labeling you a fraudster, and there's really nothing you can do about it. If you went through something like the Fiverr infrastructure, then maybe you could do a better job at Paypal transactions, but their taking a buck off the top of a $5 transaction, so pick your poison.

EDIT: Just checked. It's against TOS to offer alternate currency as part of the exchange at Fiverr. Bummer.

Well, after a overnight with aggression turned on, I got 12Mh/s and about .01BTC, making me a dime richer in USD...

Like a boss.

PS: Am I shooting myself in the foot by enabling both cores?

No that's wrong...

YOU'RE WRONG! YOU ARE WRONG!! [/heh...]

But, there's nothing set in stone that says that Bitcoin will be around some 50 years from now, and they might be collectible by then. Someone will undoubtedly will try and spin it off the second the market takes a tumble, as they already have with IX, and we're back at square one. 

My Linux ain't what it used to be, but why is PuTTY running if you're messing around with your GFX? If it's not used in your client for some ssh or telnet weirdness, freeze/uninstall it, then see what happens.

It's possible that if Bitcoins go through a bubble once the mining gets too hard, they might just flush the economy after a decade or so, and start over with new Bitcoins, kicking a silver age into gear. Then again I barely got through Econ, so I don't know if that is a viable options, or if vintage BitCoins would become collectible, or something.

EDIT: Of course, once we hit critical mass with mining, then a bunch of selling will go on, and things will happen. Either the First Bitcoin Depression, or a Golden Trading Age. Who knows.

The second the last block is uncovered, a lot of people will probably be cashing out. Once that happens, we'll see a lot more action, provided Bitcoins are still viable.

The second I can pay rent with them though, I'm golden.

Thanks guys. CUDA seems to be helping, now averaging 11.7 Megs, so not that big a jump,  but it's seems to be more consistent rather than bouncing around. Aggression nearly baked the poor thing, so it looks like I'm playing Gox Market then. Thanks bros.

Hey guys, I new to this end of the internet, but I wanted to ask if I'm using a stock Alienware M11x, with a NVidia GT 335M, 4 Gigs of RAM and a Core 2 Duo, should I be topping out at 11 Megs a second? I got some pretty good hustle on Folding@Home, and I've heard of people getting into the 40 Meg ballpark with this model. Is there some secret sauce I'm missing?
