2401  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Bitscalper passwords have been leaked on: February 13, 2012, 10:15:23 PM
Bitscalper didn't use any hashing, so every password got out. As for Mt. Gox back then, try this link: How secure is my password?

Wow.  Glad it was unique.  It says years so I guess it was not too bad.  Thanks, good link

Excluding exchanges and pools, what Bitcoin businesses and companies (particularly the retail ones) do you think are making some good money?  By 'good money,' I mean that they are earning enough so each person in the company can live solely off the company's profits without the need for a 2nd job.

Do Bitcoin businesses like this exist yet?

Not earning enough to work as a job, but actually making a profit.

4. Just log out every time you end using Bitcoinica. And don't use it on untrusted machines. You do this every time you're using your bank account online, right?
My bank account sites that I use time out after 15 mins and logout and money there is a lot harder to steal. 
2404  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Bitscalper passwords have been leaked on: February 13, 2012, 10:08:20 PM
Didn't gox have a similar thing occur once?

No, they used md5 hashed passwords, but they were unsalted, so weak passwords got cracked when the db leaked.
While I have changed my password, had a unique one for that site and withdrew (though it has not arrived), how well would a 11 char password hold up?

They appear to have all been cleaned pushing them into the "cull" category unless there is something special about any one of them and the 1880's don't appear to be double strikes. That puts them at spot plus a bit.

I am sorry, I am not the seller but just find it funny what some people will post.  You are calling these coins culls?  You really just must want them cheaper.

http://www.acoin.com/answerwizard/answerwizardcull.html

Coins that technically grade above Good by wear, but have a big problem can also be considered cull coins. Big problem is somewhat subjective, but might include the following:

        very large scratches
        holes
        a bend (the entire coin being bent)
        extremely dark toning (to the point that the coin can't be read),
        pitting,
        corrosion,
        severe fake color in some more common coins,
        severe retooling,
        repairs
        severe verdigris in copper
        severe marks (like when a car drives over a coin on the road)
        being a common coin in combination with other factors
        other major issues

Sell while you still can.

Bitscalper has been up and down since it started.  It is currently up. 

Bitserv is not and was not even a 5% pool. 

Silkroad is having some trouble and almost certainly will be fixed. 

Paxum is probably the biggest issue now and you don't even have it listed!

I love this tool but the switch to phoenix has really screwed me.  The increased heat actually shut down one of my miners and others have been less reliable.  Most of my miners would run for MONTHS at a time without problems, now they seem to be going offline in just a few days.

I am migrating to CGMINER as a DOS command and so far find it pretty impressive.  I do not have a long term view yet of course.

I also put them in my outgoing (non bitcoin) packages, about 5 a week along with some kind of bitcoin business card.  So far not had anyone tell me they found out about bitcoin that way yet.

They need to link the between (not just one way) between the donateathome.org and the cpugrid.net so we know that donateathome.org is not a scam.  I personally do not think it is a scam, but it would take very little effort on their part to make it more concrete. 
2411  Economy / Goods / Re: WTS 1880-1921 Morgan Silver Dollars on: February 12, 2012, 06:44:06 PM
i said are they junk silver coins which as of time of posting was 25.96 http://www.coinflation.com/silver_coin_values.html

Of the 7 coins, only one appears anywhere near poor condition.  And by coin collecting standards it still probably makes good condition.

(from my earlier link)
Some notes about grading:

    G - Good: Major design elements are outlined but details are gone; the date may not be sharp (but should be readable) and the rim may not be complete.
    VG - Very Good: Major design elements, letters and numerals are worn but clear.
    F - Fine: Major elements are still clear but details are worn away.
    VF - Very fine: Light even wear on high points, all lettering and design details are sharp.
    XF - Extremely Fine: All design details are sharp; some mint luster remains.
    UNC – Uncirculated: No wear at all; there may be some contact marks and there may be some dulling of the luster.
    BU – Brilliant Uncirculated: a perfect coin with bright consistent luster and no scratches or contact marks.
    MS-65 - Mint State: These are prices for coins that have been certified a "65" by a third party grading company.

what conditions are they in if junk silver why are you selling for about 4 dollars more then the silver value ?

I am no expert but the values are no where near $4.  $30 does not seem out of range.

The odds are that anyone purchasing this will get a key that will stop working after a month or two, if it works at all.  The vast majority are MSDN keys but there are other types of bad keys out there as well.

MTGOX.com and btccharts.com are not down for me.

Even if someone paid with a credit card that met you, and showed you photo ID, and signed the receipt, can do a chargeback, and you couldnt do a thing about it.

Well there are many things that could be done about it.  Most of them legal   Grin

Lawsuits.  Fraud charges. 

The main risk would be everything was fabricated, which at these dollar amounts would not be worth it.  If you had a someone elses credit card and wanted to use it to steal, you would be better off using it to buy items at a big store where it would be written off.  Not dealing with an individual who has far more incentive to deal with getting back at you. 
2418  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Donate@Home, Bitcoin and shared computing merge on: February 10, 2012, 03:30:08 AM
With so many scams out there, they should make this website a subdomain under their gpugrid.org website, not as a stand alone with no reverse linking to them.  How do we know this is really connected?  There are also some spelling errors. 

Good idea though.
2419  Economy / Goods / Re: [WTS] 2 Ghash/s Rig - Watercooled 3x 5970 - Texas on: February 10, 2012, 03:13:56 AM
I would pay full price, plus shipping up to $80.  You just need to ship first. 

Hopefully you can find a local buyer, it looks like a nice rig and a nice price.
