As far as i read about 51% and double spend attacks it looks to me they are more a theoretic problem than a real one because in practice the risks for the attacker are way higher than the potential gain.
@friedcat... Great news. Better than awaited. And regarding the wishes of shareholders here in the thread i would prefer to set all things like "Mails with number of shares", "adding shares to an exchange" and so on behind the work to make the asics run and mine. Im sure thats your preference too but here are so many voices asking to work on secondary interests.
The only reason someone would want to stage a 51% attack is if they wanted to destroy Bitcoin. Because that is exactly what it would accomplish. I am thinking they will have a big window of opportunity at least ..
A big window of opportunity to do what, exactly? Guys, you miss the point I raised, the problem is that, in my view, the control over network crunched after 4 years in hands of one entity, instead of keep dispersing among the many.. We all agree with you that it is not a good thing, but it IS something that will be resolved in the very near future (when the other ASIC vendors ship out), likely well before ASICMINER even gets close to 51%. |

Awesome! Any hope of an iOS client?
It would never make it into the App Store and the jailbroken market is a bit too limited to invest the time and money on iOS. Probably right...  @Micon, I understand. I would like to try Android, but am so tied up in iOS already. My wife uses it, both of my sisters use it, both of their husbands use it, my mother uses it (and potentially my father in not too long), among a few other friends, and it means that we can all text and video call each other for free without having to sign up for a texting plan. It'd be extremely inconvenient for me to switch to an android device for this reason. Not to mention the variety of apps I have collected/purchased that I would be losing. Eh, maybe someday I will switch. We'll see. I do very much like everything the iPhone has to offer aside from the restricted marketplace. I used to even be a fan of that, as it ensures I'm not downloading something that is going to kill my phone. |

I guess you should add me in there... 2 singles, which began as a FPGA single order prior to preorders being available. Jody said that I had a "first-day preorder" spot. So, 6/22/12.

In the second image, I attempt to demonstrate a triangle slightly tilted (due to difference in elevation when taking the readings). With the tilt of the triangle, the mirror images of the triangle don't overlap with each other, and you still end up with a difference in calculated position. The horizontal dotted black line attempts to show that difference.
That image isn't very clear. Are lines B 1 and B 2 identical in length? Same for C 1 and C 2, and A 1 and A 2? They need to be. Remember, what you're actually reading when you press the button is a sphere, placed on the surface of a much larger sphere, with it's center at your location, and it's surface intersecting your destination. Sine we're pretty sure the desired location is not in space, or deep within the crust, most of those points are discarded, leaving only a circle on the surface of the larger sphere. Well, sure, they should be exactly. I didn't bother to make them exact when I drew them, because the point still stands. If you picture the points mirrored from each other whilist the triangle is perfectly flat, then you should also be able to picture the points in different X,Y positions (if X,Y can be assumed to be a point on the surface of the earth) if the triangle is tilted (relative to the surface of the earth). In the case of a tilt, one point would stay on the surface, and the other point would be underground, but you would have to have some way of determining which point is the one underground and which point is the one on the surface. I am certain the math would be elementary with someone familiar with these sorts of calculations. The only point I was making is that there are two valid and legitimate answers for the question "what point in space, relative to the triangle's location, matches the length of A, B, and C?" When calculating what the X,Y on the surface of the earth must be, a person must take this into account and be certain to choose the correct answer to the question out of the two possible answers. If you have a machine to do this automatically, then all the better - it should be able to easily determine which point is the legitimate point. But I was under the impression that no such machine existed, and Phinnaeus was attempting to do this the old fashioned way, in which case, more care should be taken. |

Could the exact GPS coordinates be found if only three other GPS coordinates are supplied along with exact distance from each to the desired location? Or would that give you two possible locations?
I don't know much about GPS but to me it seems quite clear, from a purely geometric point of view, that there are two solutions to this problem. Since you probably try to locate a point on the surface of the earth and not in space, it's likely that only one of the two solutions is acceptable. Except the other three GPS locations used to find the fourth location are on earth, not in space, and the plane of the triangle between those three points could skew the end result if said plane is not parallel to the earth's surface. Except the earth's surface is not flat. The actual triangular plane is within the surface of the earth, not parallel to it. GPS coordinates are coordinates on a sphere, and a map is a projection of those points. Unless they are very close together, or very different in elevation, the elevation of the points doesn't really matter, as all the distances are along the ground - around the surface of the sphere - anyway. The elevation of the points will, if it's great enough, cause some inaccuracy in the location, but it will still only resolve to one (possibly inaccurate) point on the surface of the earth. Picture it this way: If a triangle is perpendicular to the earth, and you are trying to do this sort of analysis, then you would have two very viable points for the same calculation - one on each side of the triangle. Eh, maybe it's hard to explain without a picture. I'll see if I can come up with one. If the triangle is perpendicular to the surface of the earth, then you have committed exactly the error I warned against earlier: discounting elevation, all your points are in a straight line. That's why you have two valid surface points, not the elevation. Fair enough. I'm going to try to illustrate my argument with a couple of crudely-drawn paint images. This first image shows a triangle perpendicular to the earth. I am only really showing it to help people better visualize what I am attempting to represent in the second picture. As you can see, two perfectly legitimate positions can be derived from the calculations of the triangles.  In the second image, I attempt to demonstrate a triangle slightly tilted (due to difference in elevation when taking the readings). With the tilt of the triangle, the mirror images of the triangle don't overlap with each other, and you still end up with a difference in calculated position. The horizontal dotted black line attempts to show that difference.  |

Usually, cards are safe up to 110C. Obviously, the lower temperature, the better if you're concerned about longevity, but you won't immediately kill the card every time unless it reaches somewhere in the 120-125C range.
Having them on at a high temperature, then turning it off and waiting for it to cool, then repeating again and again can be the more damaging activity, as you begin to develop micro-fractures in the traces and soldering from the heating/cooling expansion/contraction.

I want my donation refunded. You can ban me after I don't care. This forum is non-profit, I see no problems to refund the donation I made.
I am happy if I get banned, I followed all rules, I didn't see anything in rules saying anything about hacked accounts.
Refund my donation, loose all future donations, ban me, and goodbye!
I donated 10 BTC from this address :

Thanks for donation refund, I am waiting for it to happen, you can send me 9.98 BTC, I don't need you to pay any fees, I will never donate again regardless if you ban me or not, your ban doesn't affect this, it just stops donations, I will sell here anyway, but I will never donate, you don't appreciate donators, you like people who don't donate and sell, and use the forum to spam and troll, who think they are smart but they are not, fuck those sheep. - Shep posted the thread that lead to my threads being locked, he is the sheep leader, he is a sheep too, the most stupid one, shep is a sheep in real life, fuck you shep. Your nickname says you are a sheep, sheep!
SHEEP, FOLLOW THE LINE OF SHEP, THE SHEEP LEADER!
Donations are refundable now? |

Go crawl under your rock, people with no brain, bitcoin is about freedom not about sheep.
Freedom, sure. Selling other people's stuff that you've stolen from them? Not so much. SHut up, I didn't steal anything, I only hacked inactive accounts, people don't use them anyway, and I sold them. You fucking non-donator sheep! Go to hell, donate some money to bitcointalk.org and speak again later. You have 500 posts, 0 donations, big mouth, you think you are smart, fuck you. People don't use them? Then why do they have them? How do you know they won't come back and want to use them 6 months from now, only to find that you have stolen them from them? How would you feel if I stole your TV that you haven't used in 3 months? You weren't using it anyway, right? I have 5,769 posts, not 500, thank you very much. And I will donate if and when I feel so inclined to donate, not when you command me to. |

Shep, I am sorry, you should've asked me for refund instead of crying everywhere about it, but It is ok, I respect you anyway, you can ask me for refund anytime I will send all your money back and you can keep whatever I gave you, sorry for the trouble, if you feel bad, or whatever you feel I neglected you, the rules are not against what I just did. Hi theymos, please read only this PM, the rest don't matter, I was angry, mad, sad. I said to much bullshit, I swear you, I am sorry. I will keep it simple, I am sorry for everything, ban me if you really want that, if you feel its the best thing to do, I respect you anyway, you are awesome. I made 1000$. I donated 130$. I was looking forward to make 1 million dollars and doante 100,000$ ... I sold my stuff cheap and I refunded everyone who asked me to refund them. I wanted the best for you, me, everyone in this forum. Please reconsider your decision, it is not the best one, it happened before, the admin of that forum regreted it, ask Ganondorf on www.torrentinvites.org, he lost so much money, users, problems, problems, I still sell there on the forum my hacked shit! Enjoy your best day, your worst decision ever made by locking my threads, it is sad to see such things happen after I donated 10 BTC just after I signed up in 2 weeks only. I am sorry to everyone who feels offended by me, I tried my best, I did my best, provided cheap, safe, content with refund guaranteed for any reason whatsoever. I see no rules to prevent selling hacked accounts here, SORRY! Enjoy the new year, I hope I will be here around to help you all, to donate, to sell things you want to buy. Torac, The Hacker! Still a scumbag, selling things that aren't yours. Please do put your skills towards something more useful and productive for society. |
