let's dissect your sales pitch: You spend most of your waking hours glued to your computer screen, smart phone, tablet or TV monitor. As the hours go by, you subject your eyes to harsh, high intensity blue light and glare from your screen. Constant viewing of digital screens can create visual stress, eye fatigue, dry eyes, irritation, and even headaches, leading to an obvious conclusion – staring at a computer for long hours can take a toll on your eyes. That's mostly true. Except "digital screens" is a totally made up buzzword. Digital = how signals are encoded. It has nothing to do with the screen output. GUNNARS are high-tech eyewear designed to protect, enhance and optimize vision. Do explain how your "eyewear" are "high tech". They look like neutral density filters to me. How are they an improvement over ND filters? GUNNARS increase contrast, comfort and focus while minimizing eye fatigue and visual stress for anyone who spends long hours staring at digital screens. Contrast seems pretty easy to measure objectively. Can you tell me how a filter can increase contrast? I know ND filters can increase contrast, but only to allow different aperture/exposure settings. Some quick research suggests that the improved contrast comes from filtering out parts of the spectrum that humans have lower contrast perception. While this may be considered cheating, how is using your glasses advantageous compared to say, adjusting your monitor's brightness, contrast, and color manually? Also, do you have data backing your claims of increased "comfort" and "focus"? I'm very interested in how you were able to objective test "comfort" and "focus". (bonus points if you had blinding and/or placebo) GUNNAR eyewear is powered by i-AMP lens technology comprised of a proprietary lens material in an advanced geometry tuned for intermediate viewing distance and finished with custom formulated lens filters, tints and coatings. WTF does "advanced geometry tuned for intermediate viewing distance" mean? Is it supposed to have an optical effect? I'm pretty sure that's what prescription glasses are for. Sounds like a fancy way of saying "reading glasses" to me. |

Yeah, I checked ebay and I knew something was up. Completed listings for galaxy tab 2 10.1: https://i.minus.com/id1toFFg481Cs.jpgAs you can see, you can get a brand new galaxy tab for less than $200. A quick search shows completed transactions for used going for under $100. If you place it on ebay, you'll probably get $150, minus $15 (conservative 10% fee). In light of this, I'll bid 1.1 BTC shipped. |

That's what i spent at Best Buy. I'll lower the price. wait, why would you ask higher than what you paid for? |

The things you described to be fetched from the network dictates the need of a server. An online entity that is providing you with specific information regarding specific addresses and block headers. Unless you are a full node (Mining or not), You are using a client server arch. Calling it not one does not magically make it so.
I was intending to pretend to be a full node on the P2P network, thereby not requiring a server. >full node >no blocks pick one |

gems from the notice: The website complained of above, is viewable In New Zealand. Therefore it is considered published in New Zealand. and defames my client by describing them as “sketchy” MY SIDES [...]New Zealand’s defamation laws are modeled
after the U.K.’s law.
”In the 1999 United Kingdom case [...] can this faggot even into New Zealand law? Precedents don't carry over from common wealth countries. or be prepared to defend your inaction in the New Zealand Courts. or maybe, you can, you know... fuck off. |

Primedice doesn't do any sock puppeting or cheating, OP is wrong about that.
and why should be believe a zombie resurrected account that presents no arguments? |

Take a random number (generated using any choice you want), and publish its hash (maybe padded with additional data to prevent guessing). Keep the random number a secret. at the time of drawing, take the hash of the latest block, and concatenate that with your secret number and take the hash of that. Use that hash to seed whatever PRNG you want to use. To allow auditing, publish the exact PRNG implementation you used and your secret (plus padding if any). Any user should be able to re-create the results.

the behavior seems to be a bug. so you can: - don't use 0.8.2
rc (it's release candidate for a reason)
or... - make a patch that fixes it and recompile it yourself. bonus: submit pull request.
edit: see strikeout |

Actually, your transaction's priority is the sum of your inputs age multiplied by their value, then divided by the size of the transaction. As you can see in blockchain.info, your transaction contains many dust "inputs". Although many are from the same address, they still add to the size of the transaction. As a result, your transaction will have a small priority value. But if your transaction is small, and your inputs are old, they will get confirmed very quickly, even without a fee. For instance, my 1 input, 2 output transaction (~1.1 BTC value) was confirmed in the next block, without any transaction fees. How do you figure that? 0.45 is not a small amount and the fee of 0.0001 is now the default fee in bitcoin-qt so it is going to be the new "standard" fee.
but just because it's "standard" doesn't mean it bypasses the fundamental rule of fees: the higher fee per kb, and higher the priority, the more likely it's going to be included in a block. Keep in mind that if 13 cents in fees (0.001 BTC), your transaction will almost certainly be included in the next few blocks. |

No ideas ?

My motive for winning the auction will be disclosed 7 days from now.
7 days and 1.5 hours later... I'm curious now! I actually disclosed ahead of schedule. Just check the original post   |

Right, but the point being made was the 1.7BTC winner had previously bid 0.7BTC as well, so his total price was 2.4? Or do I misunderstand something. He got a "good deal" of 2.4 BTC * $130 USD/BTC = $312. He saved a whopping $17 off retail. But he had to risk 312 USD to achieve that saving. If I swooped in and put in a bid at 1.7000001 BTC, any additional bids by him would incur a net loss. Not bidding anything would incur a loss of 2.4 BTC. tl;dr the "winner" risked over $310 to save 5% off retail. |

this guy is a dumbass:  he's paying 2.4 BTC ($312) for an iPad mini that is worth $330. One more competing bid and he's paying more than it's worth. |

Are you seriously suggesting it should be this easy to "destroy" your money?
Your money isn't being destroyed. You did not follow the instructions and you paid the cost. 2 way wallets are indeed good, but there's no obligation for the merchant to provide it. after all, campbx isn't even a merchant, it's a service site. I never suggested it was CampBX's fault. It's a simple fact that bitcoins make it easy to lose your money, and CampBX's job to protect the consumer from it.
You said "shame on campbx". that strongly implies it's their fault. campbx's has no obligation to protect consumers from their own incompetence. I don't like the idea of sending a transaction and knowing their is a chance I could paste the wrong address, and lose thousands of dollars it the process.
it specifically said it can only be used once. is that so hard for you to understand? A better way can and will be invented for bitcoins to be transferred (at least 2-way wallets across the board).
you're free to make your site with 2 way wallet. You'll be able to "link" accounts - which will verify automatically - like Google/Facebook login - and send that way.
I never want to have to see an underlying bitcoin "address". I want to scan a barcode, or login, and be done and 100% sure where my money is going with that transaction. There should have been more warning for my friend.

you can overclock radeons a a fair bit before thermals become an issue, the best advice is to be gentle with it(small bumps don't ramp up your voltage if you don't have to) you're also going to want to underclock the memory(it'll help keep power usage in check and won't affect hashrate) i dno't have experience with the 7870 to give you any targets but if you look at the mining hardware comparison on the wiki it'll give you some ideas.
he's using "khash" so i'm assuming he's mining scrypt. if that's the case, he shouldn't underclock memory because that will decrease performance. but scrypt is not very profitable and the volatility is way too high, so I recommend mining bitcoin (lower power usage, lower temps, steady income). |

Actually it appears that the issue has continued  It happens in little "bursts." I can type at full speed but then it hangs for a little bit. I'm scrolling on a webpage and then it stops scrolling for a short period of time. It is really annoying, and I have no idea what is causing it. disable hardware acceleration on adobe flash player, and in your web browser. |

[...]it's just the performance was not great [...]
I get the same performance with x1 as x16, even mining scrypt. :/ |
