If anything looked hinky, they would have looked into it by now.
You mean like in the JFK assassination and a zillion of other high crimes? That's reassuring. |

Empty blocks should not be accepted if there are a certain number (value?) of waiting transactions.
This is the best idea I heard up to now. At least would keep the network working. |

But I changed my opinion. Let this thread be. Oh good, if you command so then we can carry on. Whew. I was getting worried there. Maybe he was just trying to make a quick buck: Want me to just STFU? 1PKyq6aMKcCwn8cmb9Jc5SkNydLsQb5n7K
If the botnets pwn the network, you will have this:  |

I doubt it's a botnet. To amass such hashing power with random computers you'd need the biggest botnet ever known.
It could have easily targeted the gamers sharing some pirated games infested with trojans and whatever so to gain just the best hw. |

...Are you really advocating lynching based on suspicion? ...
It is not how matters were solved with horse thieves in the Far West? Because the situation is pretty similar to horse theft. Of course I were joking. Have you ever heard of someone lynched through the internets?  |

OK. Now anyone can think about how to avoid that the BTC network get plagued by swarms of botnets any time from now? Then we should rename "proofs of work" in "proofs of crimes". Funny way to back an e-currency.

We have NO evidence that any botnet is operating, and most certainly no evidence that would be admissible in a court of law.
No, apart a confession on the bitminter irc channel and some other thingies. edit: anyway, I am not so much interested about who the botter is, but in how to prevent similar endeavors, which are to go VIRAL in any sense, and soon, unless someone find a fix. |

How is it not personal information to know what he is doing with his money/bitcoins? He's broken no laws (at least none I'm concerned with) and has just as much expectation to privacy as much as anyone else. I can understand wondering, but going so far as to think you deserve to know?
Hijacking others' hardware and stealing their electricity is fine for you? And doing that in order to steal boatloads of blocks from legit miners? The guy is a fucking criminal that should be lynched a.s.a.p. |

... I fear that we are freaking doomed.
That is the biggest sob story nonsense of the morning. Either you have a need for doom & gloom or you are short BTC.  "save us"? Really? It's seems to me like a case of counterfeiting (even if it's not, actually). The point being that someone is already "printing" a large part of the monetary supply at almost no cost for him compared to legit miners. What is much worse is that if one did it, others can too (and will), and the worse would be when some "non profit botter" comes in play, just for the "lulz". |

I think the bigger question here is how is our new MM cashing out?
To cash out $90k a month on mtgox.com is multiple steps in verifying your identification.
Yes. Just when BTC price was recovering nicely you get this huge vertical drop. Either the botter cashed out, or ppl are catching up with this story. Anyway I would not have ordered a 5830 yesterday if I had read this before. This is bad bot for miners and BTC, since someone can get it for free stealing, and that is not exactly what inspire the trust of the market. If some antivirus company will not save us soon, I fear that we are freaking doomed. |

I love a good conspiracy theory as much as the next guy but something as evil as the US government killing its own people for profit is just not probable. What is not probable is a steel tower exploding into dust without explosives. And the US government is killing its own people for profit every day. Just look around. “This is the shit the mayans talked about.” - anonymous |

2x5870 running cgminer, intensity 11x2, gpu-engine 850-900x2, gpu memclk 1200x2,gpu memdff 0x2,powertune 0x2,vddc 0x2= 73-68 degrees, avg 802m/h with .1% reject, anyone have any better settings?
Bring down the mem clock to 290-300 Mhz. You will get lower temp, lower consumption, and higher core overclock (My 5870 runs fine at 970 Mhz at 300 mem). |

What do you think sucks about the pool? We get 20 new users every day, but hardly any of them stay. I'm assuming variance is the problem. But I'd love to hear about anything that could be improved. After almost a year of intense work this is still one of the smallest pools. I'm open to the idea that I may be "doing it wrong" in some fashion.  Nothing. It is just a tiny pool, that is why is unlucky more often than not (I already explained my theory here), and that is why it remains tiny. And that is why I suggest to merge it with other 0-fee tiny pools, or alternatively just point its hash rate to GPUMax or some other buyer in order to get a stable, above average income. How about it? Technical difficulties or else? |

Just in from BitcoinAnalyst - http://chart.ly/symbols/BCOIN : "Bitcoin breakout. Next targets 7.22 $ (2012 high) and ultimately test/break of ATH (32$)"  |

... i think gold/silver is a relic of the past and Bitcoin will assume its place as a new standard. i think gold drops to $400. i think that we are about to embark on a massive debt deleveraging phase which will be deflationary and take stocks down with it to test the March 09 lows at least. ...
i'm going to try and not say much more as i could be wrong and i know the gold bugs are going to start swarming with the hate.
No hate. I had my nice 30% haircut having gold in 2008 and I can agree with your short term prophecy of a dip (but $400 is way over the top), but I did not abandon the gold ship and I am happy for it. In the long term, until asians keep liking and buying gold, I see it as the most safe asset -provided that is gold that you can hold. |

I expect that if you could make this available for non programers then there would be some paying interest demand for it, I'd be interested if it was idiot proof or nearly & not needing a PHD in geekism to set up with different parameters
I could have, but you should not be trusting strangers in internet to take care of such stuff. If the 2 crossing EMAs tech really works more often than not (anyone tested it? results?) I would let a bot run by some forum member with rep to play with a few of my BTC. A good bot would even be more than enough for a speculative fund quoted on the GLBSE. |
