I'll do a HOIC DDoS from my house for 0.5 BTC and I can do it from two other houses at the same time (a 'la teamviewer) for 0.5 BTC each.  If this helps?

I can't seem to get the page to load correctly.  I tried refreshing like 20 times using Firefox and Chrome and the google ad at the top isn't loading properly.  Also, having twitter, google+, facebook, and those sort of buttons on a page really slow the load time down.  It could just be me, I have a really slow connection.  I used to have facebook buttons on my websites but after removing it I noticed the pages loading twice as fast.  I find the Google+ to be not worth the efforts because hardly anyone uses it, but the Twitter button is usually worth it.  Just my opinions!  Take it with a grain of salt but the Google Adsense banner is actin' a fool.  I always click on the banners at peoples' sites to give them a buck or so in their Adsense account! Cheesy

2325  Economy / Services / [HIRING] Web developer for several projects. on: December 23, 2011, 05:54:39 PM
Hey guys!  I have a bunch of ideas that I need put into motion.  I'm pretty good at making websites, I have a basic understanding of PHP and CSS and I'm well-versed in HTML, but I think this is outside my skill range.  I'm at home 24/7 so I'll be here to help along the way and do as much work as possible.  I've explained my ideas to about 4 developers and for some reason they just stop contacting me after I explain what I want to do.  I don't know what to think of that but I'm determined to set this up and time's 'a wastin'.

Basically...  I'm a hardware kind of guy.  I just keep buying computers and servers and have come to realize that I can put these beasts to work for me.  I have a gorgeous 42U rack (with sides/plexi doors) in my bedroom and it would be fully populated with servers if I put them all inside it, right now things are sort of scattered around.  I have probably a dozen server-ready computers including two 4U HP ProLiant dual-cpu bad boys and my custom-made 4U fileserver, "Ghost."  Right now Ghost has twenty 2TB drives and has 40TB (40,000GB) in JBOD.  We also have several other computers with massive filestorage capabilities, like "Vader" has about 15TB.  We literally have a drawer FULL of extra drives, and including the ones I need to RMA, about 80TB in total.  Check out some pictures of Ghost I took back in 2009.

My goal here is to start a cloud storage, FTP hosting, VPS, dedicated server, and gaming server company.  I also have a dozen other ideas, but we'll proceed one idea at a time.  I don't want to go too deep into the "ideas" that I have but if you have the knowhow to set up a VPS or web hosting company PLEASE contact me.  I will be getting a 100 megabit line (250 megabit if possible, same price but not available in all areas).

If this interests anyone don't hesitate to PM me!!

2327  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Printing Bitcoin Bills on: December 23, 2011, 05:34:20 PM
I'm just wondering, without a trusted third party, how can someone trust the maker of these bills that the private key is really under the hologram?

Impossible to know. When you buy physical bitcoins off someone you are putting your trust into them.

The code to create the PDF will automatically generate the keypair and put the QR codes into the bill. It would take modifying the code to remove the private key. Though the printer could also scan the private key themselves to steal them (or also modify the code to make it record them).

That said, when the details of the algorithm are solid and can be translated into php or a bash script, I will be incorporating 3rd party private key addition to the bills (you would print a sheet, sticker it, send it to someone else to print over keypair two and they would sticker and cut it).


So what you're saying is there is no guarantee to their value, which makes them essentially worthless by virtue of being totally unreliable. good job.

They are as reliable as the person that prints them. This is the nature of physical bitcoins.
Here is one of those coating the toast with gold things.
You could act as a trusted 3d party that they send their bitcoins to, and you can ensure the bills are funded.
+1 great idea!  or make it so people can check the balance of the bill.  or can you already do that?

Sort of like cheques?  Some people write bad cheques and some don't.  That makes sense...  The thing I like about this is that it's a shippable item that you can send on eBay with a tracking number and thus is no longer a 'digital' item and should fit into the rules.  I added PrintCoins to my list of available physical bitcoins on bitcointrading and I actually really like the idea.

Maybe not for signatures, but you can post these on your website, blog, forum posts, etc no problem.  I have no idea why they disabled images in signatures, that's BS if you ask me but I don't make the rules.

edit: but i totally overlooked the no-sig image thing when i bumped it.  still useful for other forums.

For the record, I didn't organize the contest. Sorry for giving that impression… But I do think that's the general sentiment here.

Edit: If you don't win the contest, I'll throw you a bitcoin Smiley
kk i understand entirely Smiley as soon as i read what you wrote, i went to the 1st post and it wasn't you so i took it as an opinion Smiley
2335  Economy / Services / Re: [Open contest] Bitcoin flag design on: December 22, 2011, 09:18:03 PM

thanks Yankee!! Cheesy Cheesy it was just a quick mockup on the flag pole, i noticed a couple blems where some white lines were showing somehow, looks like photoshop did some minor tearing but i got some good ideas to expand the flag pole thing Smiley

If nothing really awesomer comes in at this point (sparkly rainbows and butterflies flag) then I think mc_lovin wins Smiley
awesome!!  you have no idea how PROUD I am to have designed the bitcoin flag!!  I will up/downscale it to whatever dimensions req'd and provide the .psd for it as well!  and it will be released as public domain rights/free usage!

I also changed the O's in the bitcoin.org to match the zero's in the binary, looks better than the rhombus-looking o's. 
2339  Economy / Services / Re: [Open contest] Bitcoin flag design on: December 22, 2011, 07:04:37 PM
OK here are 2 more versions:

http://bitcointrading.com/img/flag2.jpg
http://bitcointrading.com/img/flag3.jpg

I changed the font, and put the binary in the back, once decoded, says "in cryptography we trust" twice.

I like the second one.

Maybe make the coin like half the size? Should it be covering up the whole flag?
kk coin is a bit smaller, added a bit of a black border to the text.

I had a CC in hand ready to order but I was halted when I saw how many pieces of ID were required to place an order.  I suppose this is required in a risky biz like this, since almost no-one is willing to do it, you need to protect yourself. 

I think the klooch dog is the klooch pooch!
