You haven't noticed by now?

How do you do this? Two figures in trenchcoats meet in a darkened car park, and kick an envelope of money across the floor?

Consider they had no policy before, they could do whatever they wanted, but so could you. This (anti) privacy policy, however, details what their motivations and aspirations for using your personal data might be, which are much longer than my first post.

It is hipster cool to mock by embracing 90's Freddie's default avatar and seeing everybody using the same one. It is not getting the joke to make your own...

I noticed a side effect: I used to look for my posts in threads by the avatar, it's not so easy any more!

End of the week, I'll probably use all the 1 BTC before someone gets to request and just change it for Saturday.


I just came up with a commit for SMF v3.0...

You have to protect your identity, and YOU are liable for MtGox's losses:

Members are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their Account information, including their password, and for all activity including Transactions that occur under their Account. Members agree to notify Mt. Gox immediately of any unauthorized use of their Account or password, or any other breach of security by email addressed to security@mtgox.com. Members will be held liable for losses incurred by Mt. Gox or any other user of the Site due to someone else using their password or user account.


Mt Gox doesn't have to protect your identity, and they aren't liable when they don't:

Mt Gox will transfer Members' Personal Information to Mt. Gox K.K. as well as the third party service providers entrusted by Mt. Gox with the hosting of the Platform and other technical operations relating to the operation of the Platform. These parties may be located anywhere in the world. By accepting this Privacy Policy, you consent to such transfer of your Personal Information out of Japan. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure and whilst we will do our best to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site when it is outside of our control.
...
To the extent permitted by law, Mt. Gox will not be held liable for any damages, loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of business, loss of opportunity, loss of data, indirect or consequential loss unless the loss suffered is caused by a breach of these Terms by Mt. Gox.


"You may request it, that doesn't mean we do anything about your request.":

You may also request the deletion or destruction of both the Account and Personal Information by sending an email to us at: support@mtgox.com. Mt. Gox will action your request only where this is not inconsistent with its legal and regulatory obligations.

...they are hoping you read that and not this?:

In accordance with our record keeping obligations we will retain Accounts and Personal Information for, at least a period of five years after they are closed by Members.

("...and the user can't specify or change any terms ever."):

Mt. Gox reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change, add or remove portions of these Terms, at any time.

---

They just say this about when they will demand ID, which is just a continuation of the existing policy of holding funds ransom with no notice until they get what they want (or even after they get what they want...):

Transactions may be frozen until the identity check has been considered satisfactory by Mt. Gox as required by applicable money laundering laws. Mt. Gox may request additional identification information at any time at the request of any competent authority or by application of any applicable law or regulation.

There is no mechanism to measure the actual hash rate of Bitcoin. One can only see the rate at which Bitcoin blocks are found and added to the blockchain. Finding blocks is random. Finding many blocks is random. The number of blocks found in 12 hours is random. Nothing to see here, stop looking before you get in trouble.

Vista/Win7 Protip: Hold down shift while right-clicking on a folder, choose "Open command window here".

You won't have a lower chance of finding a block, but publishing your block find will be hindered. If someone else found a block with a similar difficulty hash at the same time as you, it may be the miner who got their block distributed more quickly that wins the block generate.

Having a computer behind NAT that doesn't accept incoming connections is like downloading a torrent while blocking its uploads. If nobody took the time to set port forwarding, Bitcoin wouldn't be as responsive.

While miners create transaction blocks, the P2P network does the work of propagating the blocks to other nodes. In addition the transaction messages when someone presses "send coins" are relayed via the p2p network to other nodes (some of which will be miners). If you only have a few connections, you are relying to just a few p2p peers to relay your transactions to others; if you are highly connected, than many more peers get your transactions directly from you. If you complain about slow block downloading, remember the blockchain comes from other peers; if half of the peers are a black hole, it takes longer to download.

It is also possible for bad guys to create bad nodes that do odd things on the p2p network, the more good nodes there are with full connectivity, the better.

As Bitcoin runs on port 8333, you can only forward this port to one computer inside your network. More than one computer running Bitcoin with uPnP, wanting the same port, will likely confuse your router. Additional clients inside your network should connect to your main Bitcoin using the connect=IP.IP.IP.IP config option; they will sync much faster and your bandwidth use will be less.

Not for "Freddie in the dark"... you'd be on the list above if you had changed your avatar!

See above, you've got it! I'm only making one multi-recipient payment a day.

Cheers!

Here's me throwing my hat into the ring:


There's a few posts in my history that show I know what I'm talking about. I don't have Mac for screenshots etc, but mining on a Mac is like playing polo riding a sheep.




Outline:

• What is mining, how does it help Bitcoin while earning income?
• Quick start pool mining guide
• Income projections, energy costs
• Solo mining, Bitcoin client configuration and RPC mining
• Pooling philosophy, technology, setup and work accounting
• GPU mining, hardware, multi-gpu configuration, specialized rigs
• Mining software overview and survey, setup and configuration, OpenCL, future developments
• OS platform setup, specialized mining OSs and non-hard drive systems
• Hardware and software platform optimization
• Specialized mining hardware (FPGA, ASIC)
• Mining proxies and hoppers, backup mining, monitoring

Yep! This is also the "will this person hold up their end of a bargain for BTC" thread when you scroll back...

Probably like burnt French Sunny Delight wine cooler gone tart. But then I like Ouzo and Orange Juice.

Really?

Although he never written in Japanese, let us look at character meaning in Japanese name. Satoshi has many different ways to write, but Nakamoto is same by 99% of surname.

中本 - most common way to write nakamoto

中 - inside or middle
本 - book, or using in word meaning is like main or original

智 - best way to write satoshi, used in words like wisdom, knowledge, a sage. Or for you, 智者不惑。

Only for proving also I can be stupid. Like all of topic.

L'Hôpital, Ohm, Tesla, Fermat, Satoshi. Or Crohn, Lou Gehrig, Legionnaires, Satoshi.

There are a few individuals that have had massively parallel computer resources legitimately under their control, leased power, etc. that made it profitable for them. However, it will cause problems for pools to service many low-efficiency miners using thousands of TCP/IP ports. You would be best to contact the pool to set up specific IPs to connect to.

However, almost anyone with hundreds of CPU miners is doing something bad that will likely get them fired. CPU mining uses much more power than it generates in Bitcoins, so it is likely unauthorized computer use or a botnet.

It's time for today's Freddie Payola!

Thanks for making the forum more odd!


"Wait, my picture is everybody's forum avatar?"

Big sell = cheap coins. Sorry, you are too late.

How about a "twist" on the apt Kamikaze: (vodka, triple sec, lime juice)

• Alizé Gold Passion
• Cointreau Triple Sec
• Freshly squeezed lime juice

Then for the special dashes to make it a Satoshi:

• Goldschläger
• Creme de Cassis (get the reference?)

btcnearme.com appears to be down, I wonder if the site op is on the forum. It is Mark Suppes, who hasn't updated his blog since the site came online. It seems like recently there has been an all-out assault by the banksters and their bought-and-paid-for regulators against Bitcoin exchange (along with curiously coincidental timing of hackings), I wonder if this site is another such casualty?

Bitcoin has a file in it's data directory called addr.dat, which contains a list of all IP addresses you've previously connected to. Providing that your clock is now correct, it looks like the cache of previously used addresses is bad. I would delete the addr.dat file to bootstrap your client again. You can also remove the command line options and any bitcoin.conf config file you created. When you run Bitcoin, make sure the "Connect through socks4 proxy" is not selected, some users mess with this not understanding what it does.

If only there was some resource to answer all your questions...
