Sorry, when I first posted my eye was killing me and about 5 in the morning.
Just re-read your post and your offering a service. Smiley

"and that was the hour my contacts were at lenscrafters" lmao

I had a web store set up by logansryche today and it was a great service indeed.  Now I need to populate it with inventory.

Edit: Days after I changed all the passwords he says he spent 7 hours on the web site, even though ZERO changes were made and the whole site, he says I owe him 7 hours worth of work!  I paid UP FRONT and he says my payment was pre-contract and the payment was merely a gift and "doesn't count" towards the final bill.  He said it would be approximately 2 hours worth of work, @ 0.21 BTC per hour, so I paid him 0.4 BTC in advance, and within 2 hours the site (which is a free service btw, you can download a 'carts for coins' here for free and upload it yourself without paying anyone) was completed and I was impressed. 

Instead of giving him the password and then going to bed, I made sure I sent him the password as soon as he messaged me back so I knew he only had the password at a time when I knew he was at the computer. I gave him the password at around 9:45PM on the 28th, and at 12:23AM on the 29th (few hours later) he said "ok.. got all of the sorterd out... before i forget, did you want it to point to the cart when you go to impossibledecals.com or when you go to the site and click on store." I told him the whole thing looks great.  He says, "thank you, thank you.. i'll setcha up with a pdf of where and how to add inventory. it's quite simple."

I mean, I had already paid for the work in advance, and he said thanks.. I left him a trader feedback point on my site and said he should leave me one too, he left one saying "pleasure to work with."

Isn't this end of story?  I came on his thread here on bitcoin forum and left a "wow great service!" comment... 

He tells me "I contacted the creator of the bitcoin module to see what's going on with it, because that's just rediculas >.< Also, go look at the site in the meantime and see if everything's the way you want it and let me know if there's anything you want changed.  In the meantime, this is where I get off.  G'night."

Because there was a problem with the bitcoin module, the module that he uses on his own site, and I suppose the "coins" part of the "carts for coins."  Note the text "let me know if there's anything you want changed."  and at this point, all the passwords have long been changed.

He tells me now I have to pay HIM an hourly rate for him to rewrite the "carts for coins" plugin because it doesn't work.  The original offering, "carts for coins," is broken and he wants me to pay him for his time trying to fix it.  Then he tells me my .4 BTC was not anything more than a gift.  A token of appreciation.  "you paid me .4 to start that was out of contract and wasn't discussed before hand. It cannot be counted." and then I asked for clarification... "Well it was gaven without discussing it or it being included in the contract.
I can't clearly say it was part of the overall payment."


That's sort of like someone selling you a car that runs on magical fuel.  And then you pay in advance for the car at the quoted estimate, and then you get the keys and it doesn't work on magical fuel, it runs on regular gas.  But you have to pay a chemist research and development to get the magical fuel working, but of course the end-user will pay for that, and his car payments went towards buying coffee while he works on the magical recipe.  And as soon as he gets the recipe working, he's going to use it in his own car and all additional cars that he builds.  But the end user of the 1st car sold has to pay for the recipe.

I have absolutely no problem paying someone to do work for me.  Hell, even if he came to me and said I owed him an extra .1 or something because he went a little overboard, but the web site was completed in the time allowed and he wants me to pay him an additional 1.5 BTC because my .4 was a gift and he spent 7 hours working on the site which he had no access to AND if I pay him the 1.5 BTC, the site doesn't even work with bitcoin like we said originally.  And can I add, that while he was waiting for the software to be loaded on my server, he had time to bust out photoshop and made a banner for me for some reason.

I'd love to see some comments on your opinions.  I hope this is not too biased but seriously, this dude is trying to hustle me outta money and he thinks that I give a rats ass.  "let me know if you want any changes made" becomes "you owe me for 7 hours labor."

Mt Gox was originally a gaming site trading in virtual currency similar to Second Life or World of Warcraft.

When it started trading Bitcoin it had no real value. When the value suddenly skyrocketed up overnight due to an influx of interest, Mt Gox was totally unprepared for the inevitable (and somewhat successful) hack attempt that followed.
Ahhhh..  I seeeee...  I didn't know that Gox was not originally a bitcoin site.  Wasn't there like, millions of dollars changing hands every day on Gox though?  In the embarrassing video they posted, the whole thing looked like a 2-man operation in some apartment.  I would like to think that today things are a bit more secure than they were. 
2585  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcoin pricing on: July 29, 2011, 09:47:49 AM
Okk...
I understand your comments... But i only wish the value of a bitcoin gets higher...Because the general tendency is to set a price lower than the last transaction so it gets a quick sale.
But that is continuously dropping the value of the bitcoin.

I dont have much idea about the market.. But i hope the price gets above 17$ atleast otherwise its of no use...
The price was as high as $41 just before we got GOXED by the Mt Gox hack.  Mt Gox was always the central place to value the bitcoin but after the hack and it was offline for like a WEEK the markets resumed at $15-ish and haven't gone up since.  Personally, I'm glad the price is at least stable.  I see the value going back up in a month.

It doesn't really matter, because our grandchildren will inherit the electric debt as well as the bitcoin wealth.
True.  They get our debt, but I was more thinking about the debt to Earth's ecosystem.  If the bitcoin difficulty rises, think about how many jiggawatts are being added to the system and how much stress there is on our planet.  Plus, if bitcoin is going to be releasing new coins until the year 2033, we are probably going to have a zillion plug-in hybrids or full-EV cars on the road.  Personally, I hope I own a flying car in the year 2033. 

Maaaaybe in the future, video cards will become more efficient, but still.  I just hate to waste electricity.  I have probably 2kw running 24/7 and I know a lot of other people do, too.

I feel for all the naive people on this planet. But a part of me wants to laugh at their ignorance, too.

My friend, energy is not limited. We are not destroying the planet with our energy consumption and there is no such thing as made made global warming. If you truly believe that, I have an Easter Bunny that was born as a direct descendant from 36 generations of successive Easter Bunnies going back to the Grand Pubah Easter Bunny himself of 1453. This is Easter Bunny Royalty! This a a real cute bugger. I only want 50 bitcoins for him. PM me, okay?

2590  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Total Global Combined Electricity Cost of Bitcoin? on: July 29, 2011, 08:46:04 AM
I've been wondering this for awhile.

How much electricity is bitcoin using on a global scale (combining all miners' electricity)? 

Some would be a lot more efficient than others, so no one could accurately tell you this figure...  But does anyone have a guesstimation of how much watts is currently hashing away?  My guess: a nuclear power plant.

The difficulty can always go back down >.>
Say it again.  Please.  Slowly.
2596  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Long term bitcoin mining perspective on: July 28, 2011, 08:52:15 AM
Basically the hope is that as difficulty increases so does bitcoin exchange rates. I think the markets are consolidating at current prices. We may get about a 100% increase in 3-4 months time which would halve your current earn rate. I would still be profitable...but only marginally so I won't be mining after that (plus I would be hitting summer towards that time as well).
No kidding! I started when the difficulty was 300,000 and the exchange was $41!  I bought a dozen cards and now the difficulty is 1.7 million and it's worth $14!  I hope I wake up tomorrow and it's back to $41 again.

Personally, i'd check out Coins for Carts!  Look in the 3rd post there, at his demo store.  He sets it up for mad cheap if you have hosting?  I don't know about you, but I'm going for it!
2599  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: POLL: What are you mostly doing with BitCoin? on: July 28, 2011, 08:42:56 AM
It's like a self-fulfilling prophecy: mine to get BTC to buy more cards to mine more to get more BTC to buy more cards etc.
I know, right?  The fun just never stops.  Except the difficulty rises each time you buy the next card, so the BTC per day never goes up, your electricity bill goes up, and you end up with a bunch of stylin-ass gaming rigs!
2600  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How good would this 6850 be? on: July 28, 2011, 08:39:59 AM
That would get you around 0.1-0.15 BTC per day.
