US orders only unless you are prepared to waste lots of BTC on shipping, this one costs much more then the cup to ship overseas.

The python-json repository has moved.  The OP should update those instructions.  This is the new way to download that code:
Code:
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install mercurial
hg clone https://bitbucket.org/Kommit/python-jsonrpc
Which steps does this replace?

What kind of stuff do you want to sell on the name?  There are a lot of good names left.
2804  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [ANN] Bitcoin propaganda extreme QR-Code on: September 26, 2011, 01:13:39 AM



a new bitcoin extreme QR code linking to http://weusecoins.com

high res versions:
http://bitcoinx.com/pics/weusecoins_x-qr.png  (orange should not get brighter!)
b/w: http://bitcoinx.com/pics/weusecoins_x-qr_bw.png

released as cc-by-sa. there is a website notice in the lower right corner. as long as that is readable it's fine with me.

If I print them 2"x2" in 600dpi from the highrez color file, would you consider that readable?
2805  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SolidCoin v2.0 features new hashing algorithm, faster on CPUs on: September 24, 2011, 02:54:36 AM

No. GPUs are faster at parallelizing things, but if I told you to do a long, state-dependent task (modelling weather, for example) CPUs would excel.

There seems to be an ongoing misunderstanding of what is possible with GPU computing.  Weather modeling is a GREAT GPU application.

http://www.vizworld.com/2010/03/weather-modeling-80x-faster-gpu/

Not everything does well on a GPU, but tasks that can be broken apart and rely on a small data source are usually GPU candidates.  Even large data sets are fine if all of the processors can look at the same data.   With almost any sort of mining you are working with a small data and all of the work is done on the same data for a while.  I fail to see what can be done to alter mining that will make it WORSE on a gpu.  It may not accelerate as well, but once someone smart does the work, it will accelerate. 

All of this work to try to de-gpu the mining process actually makes the end product less secure by making botnets the new problem.  Even if it works, you are trading one (known issue) with a worse unknown one.

I was going to try this out, but not sure now.  Are others able to withdraw?

I agree.  Not had any problem using QR and a cam and they scan quite fast. 
2809  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Physical Storefront Merchants : tell your customers you accept BTC! on: September 21, 2011, 08:30:44 PM

My only qualm is that since these are open source designs, printing them in their unaltered form should be a public service and not a way to profit. I don't think each sticker takes $4 to make, and I may be wrong there, but I certainly know enough stamp(s) to mail a sticker wouldn't add up to 99 cents.

I am not sure what to say about that.  Is profit a bad thing?

Do you have a different idea of public domain then I do?

You are the first to complain about overly expensive 99 cent shipping.

You can do it for less if you want to.   I am not sure that other sellers will put out the same quality that I do though.  Mine are not home printed.  They are on vinyl, UV protected for the bumper stickers and squares.

While I am not required, I tend to take the profit from one run and use it for another, so after I sell a bunch of these I am going to move on to a standard white backed sticker for counters and inside. 

Oh, and I give away promotional stuff all the time.  Stuff that promotes bitcoin, not my own store.

We have our new sticker in stock, "bitcoin accepted" and ready for shipment!  This one is on clear plastic, reverse printed so you place it inside of your window and it looks right from the outside.  $4 each, with 99 US cent shipping, pay in bitcoins at the mtgox.com rate.  We ship overseas as well, please contact us via the "contact us" link in the lower part of the website.   Canada shipping $1.99, Europe $2.99 for these stickers.

Ok my package has been shipped by the tracking # now.  Looking forward to it.

Ben, contact via forum if needed.
2813  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Help cheaper in bitcoins get some capital on: September 21, 2011, 12:28:07 AM
And your email is ?

Why would I post that here.  Do you represent cheaperinbitcoins ?
2814  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Help cheaper in bitcoins get some capital on: September 21, 2011, 12:10:03 AM
Question for Littleshop ...

Have you previously contacted cheaper in bitcoins regarding this order issue ?

When ?

What response have you received to date ?

Are you ever going to ship my order?
We have exchanged many emails and had two chat sessions.

I paid on the 6th of sept and my order may have been shipped today.

2816  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SolidCoin v2.0 features new hashing algorithm, faster on CPUs on: September 20, 2011, 12:39:46 PM
We are again still talking about what COULD be possible with the new algorithm.  None of the better ideas are trivial.  Just because coinhunter makes HIS algorithm unfriendly to GPU's does not mean someone will figure out how to RECODE it into something that is quite GPU friendly.  So he can use memory in wasteful ways, but someone else can figure out why it really was not necessary and code it tighter. 

Half of the ideas presented could expose vulnerabilities as well, or at least unforeseen shortcuts that could give some individuals in the know a huge advantage. 
2817  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [ANN] Bitcoin propaganda extreme QR-Code on: September 19, 2011, 11:48:52 PM
even though none is required by it being put in the public domain

http://creativecommons.org/licenses/

So what is not clear to me.  If I am using an item that is under the  very open license CC BY, and I am going to PRINT a sticker of it....
How do I give attribution?  Does anything need to be on the sticker?   Or are these licenses really not designed for anything outside of the web and do not make sense in world of physical printing?

2818  Economy / Speculation / Re: Using Escrows for Speculation on: September 19, 2011, 11:42:48 PM
It sounds like you are betting against bitcoin.  The problem with that is most of the people who would take the other side of the bet (for bitcoin) would be found in the bitcoin community.  That would make it hard to find a counterparty unless you do it on a bitcoin based site.  That was my point.  Good luck to you. 

2819  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SolidCoin v2.0 features new hashing algorithm, faster on CPUs on: September 19, 2011, 09:44:12 PM
The idea of CPU mining is a noble concept but flawed.  Once you get the source code out there, someone will privately figure out how to do it via GPU's faster then on CPU's.

Not necessarily.

There exist numerous tricks and treats that render certain types of hardware relatively inefficient.

It is certainly possible to write a crypto-PoW in a manner that is outright hostile to any modern, and for the immediately foreseeable future, possible, GPU.

Ok.  It may be possible.  But possible isn't going to happen in this case.  This is simply not a single threaded type of work.  So even if a GPU is bad at it, it still will be possible to break it up.  Use lots of ram?  Ok, so some (or even 3/4's) of the GPU processing units will be idle, but that will still be many times faster then a CPU.  Floating point?   SC miners will switch to nvidia vs ATI.  The profit motive will break this thing.

The idea of CPU mining is a noble concept but flawed.  Once you get the source code out there, someone will privately figure out how to do it via GPU's faster then on CPU's.  The job of mining splits up very well into parallel tasks and tricks to make it not work on GPUs will not be effective.  In the end someone will end up with HUGE mining power on solidcoin and very few people will know who, why or how they did it if they want to keep it a secret.

Also moving to this model will make solidcoin be quite attractive to standard botnets.  You will have them taking up a huge amount of the mining power as they have cpu's to spare.
