I'm on version 0.6.0.6-beta, Win7
 
I launch it and after a couple minutes it crashes.
 
In the client window is the error message:
EXCEPTION:22DbRunRecoveryException
DbEnv::txn_checkpoint: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
C:\Program Files(x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe in ThreadDumpAddress()
 
Another window pops up:
 Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
 
It complains that the app is crashing.

I reinstalled to 6.0.6, not quite sure what version I had before that.

There's also the unknowns of:  will it crash?  When cashing out, will the foreman be honest and send me my money? 
 
Don't get me wrong, I've thrown a little money in, but in 3 years, if it hasn't crashed, if I want to withdraw my (theoretical) $4 million dollars, that would be pretty tempting for the foreman, if he isn't honest, to suddenly disappear.
 
I'm hoping for honesty, and hoping it'll be around in 3 years.   Then I'm getting a new boat

Danke schön!
Thank you very much! 

So I told my boss (and showed him) about a couple silver 1oz bars I bought with bitcoins.  He's curious but mostly neutral on bitcoins.  But that's not the point here.
 
I told him how I plan to one day purchase some gold bars as well, and he thought he read somewhere that owning physical gold bars was not permitted in the US?  Does anyone have any info about that?  Now obviously I know people are doing it, or places like coinabul wouldn't exist...
 
But my question is, since it undoubtedly goes through various scanners, is shipping gold something that will have you "marked" and then they start watching you?  Or does it depend on the amount?  So shipping a couple 1oz bars versus say 100 1oz bars?   
 
Is shipping large quantities of gold (whatever "large" is) something that might get confiscated?  Now my boss has me worried to buy anything more than a gram.

I've used coinabul with no problems.  I probably had a question or two about shipping, but I got it in a reasonable time-frame.  I plan on using him again once I can afford more.
 
I had ordered two 1-troy oz bars, and they came sealed up and I was happy.

and thanks for the tips, guys!  I'll bring some compressed air home with me tonight and try that.  I'll try weekly doses to see if it helps.

Ok, so I have a Corsair 300D case with the side taken off.  My 7970 is OC to 1200/600 and I'm consistently at 90-92 with 60-65% fan speed.  So right now I'm going to lower back to stock speeds, but would like to OC it again.  The case is standing "normal" and not on its side (I have cats, and where it is now they can't get into, but if I laid it on its side, I fear the worst!)
 
I can't afford a water cooling system yet, and this computer is in a room (my man-cave!) that doesn't get a lot of air movement (but in the basement).  I have space for fans on top if needed (eventually will be where I put a radiator).
 
Any ideas?  I thought about putting a fan up close... so should I look at blowing away the exhaust, or blowing room air into the case?
 
any other ideas?
 
A couple weeks ago it was hovering around 85 temps (OC), and like 50% fan, so I don't know what happened (other than it's heating up here in Kansas and we have our AC set at 74 in the house).  Not sure what ambient is in this room, but I think somewhere around there since I have my computer in here.

btw I'm using TriXX for my information/settings.

Ok, let's play simple for now.  If I give you a bitcoin, what should I expect for a return in 1, 2, 3 months?  Right now I can only afford a bitcoin as "throw away" in case something goes horribly wrong.  I may put more in at later dates....  [edit: i saw numbers above, is it similar?  or do the returns depend upon the initial amount?]
 
Assuming it's as simple as you acting as my broker and I say "ok i'm ready to cash out now, here's my address" and then you send money (within the time period you mentioned).

So how easy is it to withdraw once you're done?
 
Can I throw a bitcoin in and withdraw my profits in a couple of months?  I'm lazy and just want easy returns.  What process do I do to deposit and then later retrieve my money?

Haha, thanks guys, I found it.

Maybe someone should make some fake accounts and post about oggr and/or bitcoin at various times of the day... he can't be on 24/7 can he?  

Do you have a link (or name) for the iPhone app? I'm sure it's been mentioned elsewhere, but I want to make sure I get the "right" one.

I'm hoping people ignore/migrate from forum gold.. it seems to be the "standard currency" by which items are now valued.  I'm hoping bitcoin overtakes that instead, and instead becomes a mix value of dollars/bitcoins (as maybe valued on the auction house).
 
That said I had registered at ogrr, and it seems like they have a pretty good system for transferring money (for trades) covered here:
 
 https://ogrr.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1299

All-in-all, I'm excited because I hated forum gold, and refused to partake in it due to the reasons of the owner basically being a dick and controlling everything (a sort of mini-paypal or mini-ebay type philosophy of screw the users, take their money).
 
Long live ogrr.  


There will probably be stragglers trying to buy/sell forum gold, so I have no doubts that it will still exist for some time as people look to get away from it, maybe buying/selling on the side, but the only one will win that fight is njaguar.
 

I like that bitcoins are entering mainstream more, and this might help increase btc value... but now I'm going to have to watch that site (or other threads related to it) in case I decide to play a free game somewhere and keep tabs which games are going to hijack my video card. 
 
I have mixed emotions about this.  They need to make it more visible about what's happening before you play the game.

I can vouch for tiptopgemdotcom.  I've bought a couple gemstones from him already.  I posted a thread about it in Off-Topic.

Here in Lawrence, KS:

For the months of October through May:
$0.057743 per kWh for the first 500 kWh
$0.057743 per kWh for the next 400 kWh
$0.045896 per kWh for all additional kWh

For the months of June through September:
$0.057743 per kWh for the first 500 kWh
$0.057743 per kWh for the next 400 kWh
$0.071091 per kWh for all additional kWh

So my worst-case is $.60 a day to run my 7970, if I calculate that right.  But I suck at power calculations.  I always miss a decimal point or something.

You could do the SETI@home or the distributed.net contests.   Or use your CPU for finding fun/cool personalized bitcoin addresses

er, isn't this very post a begging post?
