I can't help but notice we have taken a bit of a hit over the weekend. Will we see a rise on Monday or will it continue to fall?

The difficulty just went up.
Not by the same percentage as the drop in rewards though. It looks like difficulty increased by about 10% which should give me about .32BTC per day not .20-.25 [Edit] After some research this appears to be a direct result of the so called mystery miner. Time will tell if this can be reverse or if it is going to be a permanent problem for Bitcoin. Well besides the difficulty difference, you might also be losing to hoppers. How would the mystery miner affect it, unless he is somehow stealing your hashes (not possible)? I was a bit short sighted on that one. You are right that it should only affect the difficulty. The only way it could be affecting my rewards were if it were confusing Deepbit every time it orphaned a block but I don't see that as a possibility. |

Has anyone tried tracing the coinbase of the MM blocks to see where those coins are ending up? I know it might be hard to find out exactly where they are going but it would be interesting if this could be a way to track down the bot net owner.

Is it just me or is Deepbit finding a lot less blocks than it used to? I went from average rewards of .35BTC per day to .20-.25 with no change in hashing power. I originally thought my ISP might causing issues because I would see random server down-times but that hasn't happened in at least week. My average reward per block hasn't changed much but my total rewards haven't gone back up to their previous levels, making me suspect that the pool is finding less blocks than it used to.
Can anyone confirm this?>

I have to wonder if some of this massive selling has anything to do with the linode theft. Those coins have to be dumped on the market at some point and they could have been mixed more than enough by now to have made their way back to market. I have zero proof to back this up but this is the speculation section of the forum after all.

- A winner will be chosen 7 days from today's date and contacted through the e-mail address they provided at the time of entry.
- The winner will be chosen in conjunction with random numbers provided by random.org across a spreadsheet of raffle credits.
This method cannot be independently verified. - There can be false unpaid entries (even with payment verified on blockchain, they can be paid in by the organizer to himself).
- The winning ticket selection method cannot be seen or verified by all outside parties.
I can at least solve the second part. The bitcoin blockchain contains lots of completely random hashes that are NSA-recommended as unreversible, not predetermined, outside control of any one party, and published publicly. Here is my recommended method to declare winning ticket numbers of any forum lottery: 1. Publish block# to determine winner. For this lottery's timeline, block 171420 (~8 days from now) after 120 confirmations could be the one to determine the winner ( block 170267 used in example below), 2. Disclose ticket numbers (spreadsheet) beforehand (start at 0, list forum IDs, etc), allow all entrants to see they are present in list and that there are no mystery entries nobody can account for. 3. Determine total number of tickets at entrance cutoff time (lets say 711 in this example), 4. The random data to be used from the block will be the last 10 digits of the hash, 5. The winning ticket number will be determined by the modulo (remainder) function [python = math.fmod(int(hash_last_10, 16), num_of_entries)]. Winning number as output by Win7 x32 calculator if any disputes of solution. Here is how to independently determine the winner with no programming on Windows calculator: - Verify the block hash from two independent sources (ideally one being your local blockchain),
- Open Windows Calculator. Select View->Programmer. Select "Hex" radio button,
- Paste last 10 digits of hash into calculator (73ef1acb71 in block 170267 in this example),
- Press "Mod",
- Enter number of tickets (711)
- Press =
- See winner (example winning ticket number is #141)
Anyone have any objections to this? The issue I see is that the bonus program you laid out issues fractions of entries. Are only full entries counted towards the draw? (ie 1.05=1, 1.85=1, 2.05=0, etc) |

Phew!
Hmm well some of the short term EMA/SMAs just flipped, so I wouldn't be surprised if that were helping this little bump along. MACD just flipped north on hourly too...so there's been building sentiment long for a little while. I dunno how long this will last, but I wouldn't want to be heavy long or short right now. +1 Next Target - $5.80 |

Personal information would be your address, phone number, etc. None of this was released and even if so, you agreed to full and final settlement. Do you understand what that means? There will be no further communication from the magazine to you. This matter is closed as far as we are concerned.

The solution is simple: Just ignore the guy.
When he wants his refund, he'll get it. If he calls all of you guys scammers, he's lying. You can sue him for defamation.
...or you could just put the money in his address and walk away.
Anyways, I'm not your daddy. Do whatever makes you happy.
The first solution COULD be attempted but we are honest and legitimate business people. We are making EVERY EFFORT to provide him his refund. As you said, if he called us scammers then he would clearly be lying. We are not out to take anyone's money without providing appropriate services. Your second solution is also unworkable since he could claim that it wasn't a full refund and try to solicit us for additional work/refunds. I know this would not fly on these forums but these forums are not a legal court so it would be irrelevant. Emails can be considered a binding agreement and it is why we are using the procedure that we are. What would make me (and the rest of the magazine) happy is to refund him his money and go on our merry way. On a lighter note, I know you're not my daddy  , I am probably old enough to be yours lol. |

I'm wondering why you are even bothering to acknowledge him using such personalized responses, instead of just repeating canned "Please acknowledge your refund agreement, and your money will be refunded immediately" messages. I don't think you guys can really say or explain any more than you already have, and at this point it's all just a protracted bitchfest.
Quite frankly it's because we would like to close this matter with him once and for all. I thought things couldn't be stated any clearer also but they have had to be stated time and time again. He has come about 95% of the way on this finally but in order to finish the deal he must specify what he paid for each item as has been stated several times before. The last thing we would want is to provide him a refund and then him claim that he wasn't refunded the full amount. This needs to be final and we want to make it as such. It has become a protracted bitchfest as you stated and it has been very draining on members of the magazine. This is why we are choosing to refrain from ever doing business with him again. We have been trying to refund him since February 14, 2012. |

We are still waiting for Goat to respond to the reply. This could have all been resolved hours ago. I wonder at this point if he is trying to drag it out and make a bigger spectacle than he has already.

It was cleared up before you posted. Someone else in the team pointed it out for me. You have been warned several times against this. Please reply to the email so it can be resolved.

Hi Chaang,
There was a typo in the previous email where it should have said to the BTC address provided in the email and not the email address. I was getting ready for my day job and did not have much time to draft the communication. The correction could have easily been added by you to the statement and you were even told a proper correction on the forums. We would NEVER send a private key through email since it could be compromised. The blockchain is a much more appropriate method for sending coins and it is the only thing we will be using.
The forums are not an appropriate channel for business communications and you did not even raise your concern to this email address. Email is considered a binding contract which you could have amended the terms to as mentioned above. I do not appreciate that you posted my email on the forum without so much as a reply to me. Furthermore you have been telling a lot of lies on the forum which are not appreciated. You clearly have had communications with me in the past and Matthew clearly instructed you to communicate with me. We have decided to cease all business with you and refund the money for your ad.
Again, please send confirmation of the terms of refund so it can be processed. We would like this matter to be resolved as soon as possible.
Regards,
Adam Harding
Advertiser Relations – Bitcoin Magazine
To whom it may concern,
I would like to clear up the unfortunate issue discussed previously on bitcointalk and in email with Adam.
I'm requesting a full refund for my subscription to Bitcoin Magazine and my advert to be placed therein. This whole issue has been caused by miscommunication and a mix-up of issues between me and one of your officers, Matthew N Wright.
Provided I receive this refund at 1Yj6hiWeLL8pxCtCVrtfpNFKhrJUwjT5d from an address that is veritably Bittalk Media Ltd./ Bitcoin Magazine 's I consider my relationship with Bittalk Media Ltd. and Bitcoin Magazine to be ended and will hold them free of any liabilities etc that could arise from this unfortunate episode.
In regards to the matter of website design I would in turn request a disclaimer from Bittalk Media Ltd./ Bitcoin Magazine stating that this was work undertaken by Matthew N Wright as a private individual and has no relation to Bittalk Media Ltd./ Bitcoin Magazine. If Bittalk Media would like to take responsibility for all his actions please let me know.
Best regards,
You have been warned more than once about posting emails from Bitcoin Magazine in the forums. |

You do realize that Matthew evidently now an "agent" of your "company" posted our personal skype communications on this forum? And you are saying my posting an e-mail is way out of line? What a double standard.
I'll check my e-mail as I have not yet been sent the refund from Matthew.
It was necessary to prove you were spreading lies. Proof had to be provided and it was. Please try to stick to factual details in the future and it won't be necessary. Your refund has not been processed since you have not agreed to the terms of the refund. Once terms are agreed upon, it can be processed. |

We have told you this many times but I guess I will have to again.
GOAT - REPLY TO EMAILS PLEASE, ESPECIALLY BEFORE POSTING THEM TO THE FORUM. THIS FORUM IS NOT CONSIDERED A VALID MEANS OF BUSINESS COMMUNICATION
