I have the promotional calendar somewhere, still.  I don't remember things from yesterday very well - much less 10+ years ago. I'll try it out again. >uninstalls RTW2(oddly enough, RTW2's ratings on metacritic are continuing to fall after patches. Was [critic/user] 8.1/4.2, now 7.9/3.8. I'm not sure if that indicates much more than many game reviewers being lazy and posting a pseudo-review after a couple hours of play based more on game hype.) |

Why do we talk about 6 confs for a double-spend? Maybe for Gox. There are plenty of places which'd accept 2 or 3 confs as "reliable confirmation." Ele could already pull off the 33% attack.
(not that I care, except out of curiosity, and I enjoy reading the new ways Ele plans to cripple service to intentionally lose hashrate share if it breaches certain thresholds)

YOU BOUGHT THE BOOKS FROM THE GARAGE DOOR CLOSER!
Were they any good? Did you return them?
MLM fills a void by enabling people to sell who would otherwise not have the initiative to come up with a sales strategy. I have dissuaded many a friend from joining an MLM, but for people that are natural networkers, the model makes a lot of sense.
There's unlimited profit to be made by just making "things" a little bit easier for people. MLMs spoon feed the principles of "entrepreneurship" to people. Sometimes it works.
Huh. I ramble a lot sometimes. The return policy only gave a few days, so the return was requested online before books were delivered or even sent out. Check was sent via mail. We really screwed up by not just having a "no trespassing" sign up. The books were actually pretty well-constructed as educational tools for toddlers and young children - probably the most comprehensive set I've ever seen. But... no sane person would pay $400+ for text on paper (unless they have an asshole professor, or overwhelmed by having too much money, or they buy the "I'm an entrepreneur trying to pay for college" heart-tugging... rambling, again). |

I re-installed Rome 1 Total War and I've really enjoyed it compared to Rome 2 so fuck you again creative assembly  it seems days the only thing a game developer needs to do to keep me happy is code a game that actually works >_<. If there isn't a mod to add war dogs, it's an obsolete game as far as I can tell. |

Bitcoin QT wallets aren't deterministic. That is, you can not recover coins from addresses generated after the backup was made. You have to make a new backup when you generate new addresses. Encryption or lack of it doesn't matter.
Does that answer your question?
So the backup of the wallet before encryption is no good for recovering the lost address? Yes, *if* the lost address was not generated before you made the backup. You'd be best off with psy, trying to recover the most-recently-modified wallet if possible. ETA: Missed second line in your response to psy. Sorry for your loss. On many non-QT clients, wallets are deterministic (addresses it generates are predetermined), where one seed can provide all future addresses which will be generated. You only need to make one backup. With QT, you need to regularly back up your wallet whenever you generate new addresses because it generates addresses randomly. |

It would be dramatically more cost-efficient to purchase an electric heater than pretend you're getting free heat mining a few Satoshis per day.
(Even if you had "free electricity," it would be more cost-effective to purchase an electric heater)
ETA: Without fail, every time someone talks about GPU mining, I forget altcoins exist.

I expect that when I send money using the top menu entry to do so, the program is smart enough to give me at least the possibility to add a fee, which it didn't. So when the coins came back I sent 0.01 BTC to see if I overlooked something and had a possibility to add the fee, which I had not. Only then I found the send special menu item which allowed me to add a fee. I used that to send 0.1983 + 0.002 fee. But why should now a transaction with a fee be combined with one without a fee and combined with one without a fee and treated as if no fee is added. If BTC want to be a mainstream currency system these things have to change. Speaking of change - that's why you're having the problem. 1EPHPrzFHZigGXjobKxyArb1iZ9gVS2zS7 contained .195BTC. You sent .01BTC of that. The remaining .185BTC (change) had to be returned to 1EPHPrzFHZigGXjobKxyArb1iZ9gVS2zS7 so you could use it later. This means the .01BTC transaction must be confirmed (or dropped out of the queue) before anything can be done with the remaining BTC. This is necessary to prevent double-spends. While that looks like a tragic GUI design on blockchain.info's part, it isn't really Bitcoin's problem, since clients/services (except blockchain.info, apparently) will tell you the fee you need for speedy confirmation. (sorry for your time-loss, though) |

Link doesn't work.
Their server handles it stupidly. BFL entry - https://www.sos.mo.gov/BusinessEntity/soskb/Corp.asp?3402461Filings (including dissolution) - https://www.sos.mo.gov/BusinessEntity/soskb/Filings.asp?3402461Looks like it was forcefully dissolved due to failure to file annual report. Waiting for .pdf's to download. ETA: Their servers handle it extra-stupidly. It'll never download unless you're on IE 8 or 9, which I'm not about to download and run. "Currently, users are not able to access images using Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, or Apple Safari.

You should also be concerned by the Bank Secrecy Act. Especially with payment processors (like Dwolla), it's very likely you'll have suspicious activity reports filed against you for significant transactions ($2.5k+ for processors, $5k+ for banks/CUs) every freakin' time you make that kind of transaction. Banks/CUs are gagged from sharing any of that info with you, too. If you ask, they'll probably take it as an indication to file SARs on you more often than required. I don't care about the privacy aspect so much except that I don't want a bunch of government attention on me for having multiple SARs on me each month which may trigger a heightened volume of other kinds of surveillance. I'd prefer being the first person to read mail addressed to me, for instance.  |

I had one of those bastards in one of my aquariums at one point, snuck in on some liverock I had bought. Nothing is more fun that cleaning your tank and getting punched by one of those punks. For the record though, there are two "sects" of Mantis shrimp, ones that punch, and ones that spear. Both of which suck...
Also, Octopi can eat them pretty easily.
source: mine did
The Internet says they have murder sticks which produce undersea shockwaves and kill inferior animals like octopi even when they miss (if the inferior animal is not boiled to death). Also, it obviously never punched you because your hand/wrist would have been severed from your arm and would probably crack a tectonic plate, causing an earthquake. I wonder if they've ever been studied in water mixed with high-density liquids like glycerin (or an extremely high-salt environment). That seems the ideal way to breed superpowered mantis shrimp. I'd assume they come from a super high salt environment. So max out salt content to the highest point where they can still live healthfully. Even a muscle tone increase of 10% on these fuckers would make their visible abilities much more evident. Eventually, I'd guess you'd hit a wall where their limbs can no longer support the force, or they burn themselves to muscle death. If these could be trained as animals of war and launched an amphibious invasion, we could probably conquer Canada with relative ease. Just imagine if these things could be trained to jump from ground to the head of a Canadian, to spear out their eyes (extra points - barbs pull out the eyes in-tact). They would surrender the same day, and we would own all of the precious oil sands. Brb, gotta teleconference with Rumsfeld & team. This is great! |

Freenode seems like the obvious answer.

Blocks will always come at roughly the same pace, right?
While hashrate is rising so fast, blocks will confirm increasingly faster (up to ~40-50% faster than target speed) as we come closer to difficulty adjustment. Blocks are only ~5-10% faster than target right after a difficulty adjustment. -So, right now, blocks are confirming relatively slow (though still faster than target time). When hashrate levels off in a few months, I think we'll see a lot of threads asking why Bitcoin just became so slow. |

I really don't know why that's even worth asking. You can donate cow manure (sterilized, of course!) to a campaign, so long as FMV can be established. What most people end up doing to get around the reporting requirements is to mail cash or gift cards (with either no return address, or multiple unique return addresses) to keep under the reporting limit on any one transaction. It's kind of stupid. Of course, with BTC, it's especially easy to simply spam 100 ~.5BTC transactions from anonymous, though you may wish to take care that the coins can't all be traced back to the same inputs. Asked this guy for an interview when thread was created. No response, yet. Can't even get a small-time mayor in my home state to respond.  |

Mixed feelings. Both sides of those feelings probably pretty obvious. Disappointed we weren't donating enough to get the benefits of this deal done in a decentralized way. At any rate, can't wait to see what Alan & team can do! Good luck!

It struck me, seeing an account sold, which was collateral for a bad loan, that I'm not aware of comprehensive reference material on these things. If small consumer loans in the future accept game accounts as valid collateral in lieu of established credit (and in a limited # of cases, they already are), it seems like this kind of service would be in a fair amount of demand.
If someone asks for a loan right now, and they say they can put up a level 90 runescape account with Boots of Bootening or whatever, I don't think anybody would know what the Hell that's worth without maybe going to Ogrr or the fiat alternative and taking a fairly long time to find info on all of it. The probably still wouldn't know whether it's actually able to be repo'd (instead of ownership reversal being possible).

hahahaha, never trust an indian.
I am also shock that you can say something that racist in a public forum!! If you are in the UK, you can get done for Hate Crime.  You should probably move, then, inselaffe |

Homogenized version finished. http://pastebin.com/kGAY4mU6(too long for a forum post, both because it'd take up the entire screen of those maybe uninterested, and by hard forum limitation) (I also am quite fond of Bjork, which I wasn't expecting.) |
