Why won't you use Clearcoin?

Specs for the 5830 (taken from retailer website) say it pulls 500w from the powersupply .

Specs are wrong. A single 5830 will draw anywhere from 155 - 185 Watts. Your Sempron 140 system (CPU/RAM/MB) will draw anywhere from 55 - 80 Watts. 185 x 2 + 80 = 450 Watts not including hard/optical drives or other peripherals. Your 850 Watt PSU is fine for 2+ 5830s and your system.

Someone could also develop a currency that many people see as better, and this would displace bitcoin (Ex. friendster got replaced by myspace which got replaced by facebook).

Nobody is stopping you from becoming a CarrotCoin billionaire. Go for it! I wouldn't necessarily think it would be better, just tastier.

@Reron: did you get your payment?

I don't think it costs hundreds to rent a GPU from Amazon per day, but OK....

A single instance will cost you ~$50/day.

4 - transact directly with eachother -> transact directly with each other
5 - digitally signing a has of the -> digitally signing a hash of the
7 - spend the money the would not be possible -> spend the money that would not be possible (did you mean "that")
8 - Payee cant verify -> Payee can't verify
8 - Entire system depends on company running the digital currency just like a bank -> Entire system depends on a third party or central authority running the digital currency just like a bank or regulatory agency

Slide 8 seems a little confusing to me, or maybe I am reading it wrong. I think you are trying to explain that the only way to solve a double spend is to implement a central authority. However this could be taken the wrong way unless you clearly state Bitcoin has no need to implement a central authority by design, hence no trust in a third party is necessary.

Still reviewing...

And so July 5th we end with 3763 forum posts in a 24 hours period.
It's July already and the difficulty is the same? Sweet!

I'm not saying they aren't worth that much, just that I'm not going to pay it.  And yes, I did buy it for $300.

Aha! So you are the one who keeps grabbing these before me. Smiley Every time I go to grab a CL deal on a GPU in West Coast/Valley CA they are already gone.

Also, EpiSKing, $500, are you joking or what? This is no forum for trolls and low ballers.

Hmm, let's see:

Get a motherboard with 3 pci-x 16x or 8x slots,

I'm sure you meant PCI-Express (PCIe) and not PCI-X which is different. Don't confuse him more. Smiley
317  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to create truly anonymous bitcoins in 5 easy steps on: June 02, 2011, 05:30:42 PM
I am not getting how this would be truly anonymous. Granted I have only one cup of coffee in me this morning so far, but you have to announce your solved block to the network, didn't you just lose anonymity?

It once block is solved the block reward is give to a new bitcoin address and there is no history for this particular coin and therefore no amount of datamining will reveal your identity. Tor here helps to hide your IP and as such this is as anonymous as it gets.

Gotcha, that makes sense now and I concur, this seems to be about as good as it can get.

The IRS has no hidden camera in my mattress. 

Ahh, but now they know you have a mattress and where to look. Smiley

With bitcoin, a geeky teenager in a city on the other side of the world could hack a C&TO's computer and steal their wallet.dat.

Why would a geeky teenager stop at stealing just a "C&TO" wallet.dat?
