Since MiningBuddy wields a fearsome delete button in the Mining section, I decided to re-post it here for your enjoyment and to ensure my hard work didn't go to waste.Yep that's right, you too can hash twice as fast as everyone else! The difficulty will bow down at your feet and moon the rest of the poor slobs that don't have this gold-in-a-bottle! Hurry up and order today; at this price it sure won't last very long! PRICING INFORMATION: - Mega Sauce: Over 9000 BTC, contact me for special order pricing and availability!
- Maxi Sauce: 1337 BTC, ships in 4-6 weeks in a nuclear flask to contain the epic awesome boiling inside!
- Mini Sauce: Only 199.99 BTC and ready for pre-orders today!
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER APPLICATION: Twice daily, pour rjk's Awesome Sauce liberally on the video cards in each of your rigs, and if you have them, on your FPGAs too. Within a week, your rigs will be assigned their own personal Mega-mining difficulty, available at select pools! Not only will the effective hash rate double, your personal difficulty will be 20% lower than the rest of the network, making you more profit than ever before! Our super smart engineers have developed a new formula that when applied in liquid form, reduces the number of rounds needed for a valid hash from two to just one. However, the recipe is still secret and stored in a safe, even though it can be reverse engineered by bombarding it with neutrons. No one has a neutron accelerator yet, do they? Of course, to ally fears of scamming ("who, us?") we are making our very own mail drop street address available to the public, and a phone number so that you can pump our engineers for the gen 1. You can send us letters and view our pretty store front on Goggle Mappes here: 1337 leet street Haxorville, CA 90001 11-900-RJK-MEGA And here is a proof pic of the sauce itself!  Shipping container   Unfortunate similarities to other products and/or companies that already exist are purely coincidental.

I'm sorry to squash your delusions, but what I am telling you is HOW THE SYSTEM ALREADY WORKS. Remember P2SH? Remember how NOT implementing it caused blocks to be rejected? That is because a MAJORITY of the miners changed their code to make it happen, and those that didn't lost out.
P2SH tightened the rules of what would be accepted. You are right that a majority can enforce this. If a majority wanted to loosen the rules, the more restrictive ruleset could continue on as a separate fork since the new transactions would be rejected by those miners who decided not to upgrade. Precisely. Forking is an unwanted byproduct that results in the ability to double-spend. This is a good thing in what way? Making mere statements doesn't make a thing a thing. So before you ask silly questions make sure you got the facts right. Fact is forking isn't what you say it is. Actually it is, because coins can be spent on both sides of a fork, unless the protocol change is so radical that it invalidates the coins themselves. And in that case, there is no reason to fork it, it would be simpler to start over on another blockchain. |

Since the new forum software will never actually get written (or be usable if someone attempts it) can we please get some real forum software working for this place until this hypothetical software is written? It's been months since the project was "started" and there's been no movement. It will be years more before there is anything even vaguely usable, if ever... so in the interim, I propose moving to modern, secure (at least more secure, anyway), feature rich forum software.
You can take your pick, since literally any forum software is an improvement over SMF.
Now THERE'S something to +1! My personal recommendation is xenForo, but I'm partial to modern-looking websites. I was just going to suggest xenForo. It's a terrific forum software. Could you give an example of an existing forum that uses it so that I can go check it out? |

Lets try a little etymology: Democracy, from the Greek demokratia "popular government," from demos "common people," + kratos "rule, strength" Bitcoin is very much democratic.  Yeah? Bitcoin is/has a government? Do we need to get into definitions of "govern" as well. A few synonyms should suffice: control, sway, influence, conduct, supervise, superintend. Bitcoin is supervised by the common people. Who are these "common people" allowed into that position? Whoever wants to participate... i.e. it is democratic. +1. The "government" in this particular example is the set of rules and concepts that binds together the Bitcoin ecosystem. As you know, anyone that does not follow the rules gets kicked out, but if a majority of the network change a rule, that is what starts getting accepted. Wrong. If majority starts enforcing a new rule, it's no longer bitcoin. It does not matter how few people use the original code, they can still use it in their own fork. There is no government, there's just a tool that has rules that you either use and follow or you don't, there are no buts.

The forum moderation policy is something along the lines of "free speech at any cost", regardless of trolling and so forth. So, I doubt much is going to change there.

What about these Yubikey things?
They are cool, but most people don't seem to value the security they add, and don't want to pay for them.  I also noticed that Blockchain.info is able to use an actual MtGox yubikey, and doesn't require you to have a generic one on hand. This means that they are using the MtGox yubikey authentication server. Nefario, could you look into implementing this? It would make it possible for those with a MtGox yubikey to use it without buying a new one. |

I don't think support for <IE7 should be high on the priority list anyways..
Wasn't it 10% of web browsers are _STILL_ IE6! And think how much IE7 or IE8 there are.. Edit: Fordy, you're right that <IE7 shouldn't be on high priority list so people would get better browsers. Even Microsoft itself hates IE6 and has launched a campaign to get rid of it: http://www.ie6countdown.com/ |

I've summarized some basic "best practices" that are often discussed on these forums here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Securing_online_servicesIt compares and contrasts the risks involved in using Bitcoin vs the risk involved with traditional payment systems for online merchants and traders. It sums up a few recommendations for how to avoid security breaches. Let me know what you think and where to link it from. Thanks Mike, that is a top-notch page, and sorely needed around here. |

These scammers are still up and running? Has anyone actually gotten anything from them, bitcoins or otherwise?

I don't believe 30 images is the true reason of his detention.
Sounds like a pretense to arrest him for some other undisclosed reason. |
