They use a special kind of reward algorithm to ensure miners are rewarded the appropriate amount because certain people found a way to game mining pools before by doing something called "pool hopping."
I'm unsure of BitMinter specifically, but you'll probably need to mine there a few hours to start earning BTC. You don't "lose" the coins you would've earned during this time, but there's a kind of delay in you being credited them.

Telling us which miner you're using and where you mine would be a good place to start.  |

@CedarTec: I can help you to make professional-looking PCB so you will be able to scam people with more success. The price is 10 BTC. Custom designed laser engraved plywood chips are also available. PM for payment address if interested.  SteampunkASIC in 5...4...3... If I were a scammer, this is definitely the route I would go.  Holy shit, Phin. I think that's the best-looking build I've ever seen in my life. |

Given devs are scrambling to solve the problem of "blockchain bloat," making it easier to insert/read messages is probably pretty low-priority.

I'd assume from "Bitcoin exchanges sell Bitcoin. BitInstant does not sell Bitcion. Instead, BitInstant assists exchanges and other merchants in receiving payment from Customers in the most efficient way known." that BitInstant cannot and does not guarantee a price. (I have no idea, though. I've never used BitInstant, just looked at info present in doing the steps to make a purchase.)
However, BitInstant clearly failed to provide the service advertised (they say "30-60 minutes" and "as little as 20 minutes" without exceptions noted) by taking 7 hours to process your order. If you email them asking for the difference, they might do it since it's a relatively low amount... Let us know what CSR says!

i heard some gpu's work better with certain cpu's would that be the case?
Not as far as I know... I know the old Phoenix miner had trouble with certain configurations (would max out CPU usage at 100%, though if you limited it, there was no impact on hashrate). With modern low-end CPUs, you might have 1-2% utilization. |

This would depend on what you're talking about. In mining, it's irrelevant unless you're talking about 15-year-old tech. If you're talking about synchronizing Bitcoin-qt to the blockchain for the first time, it might be relevant (I don't remember what the current bottleneck there is).

The police might be incompetent. Is the auction one of those public listings where it'll be in a pallet of 500 HDDs sold as-is? If you send me the HDD once it's recovered, I'm willing to design, produce, and send a tiny collapsible "anal lawnmower" to keep soap predators out of your buddy, fwiw. |

No. It's different than your account un/pw. You should have workers listed somewhere on your account page (I've never used wemineltc.com, however). If there's nothing listed, you may have to create a worker, which should be somewhere on the account page, too. For wemineltc.com, they use this format: -u workername.1 -p workerpw http://eu.wemineltc.com/gettingstartedHope it helps! |

It was the second biggest Euro exchange. But I didn't notice any reaction from the market, it's like nobody cares about that.
Bite tongue, bite tongue, bite tongue, bite tongue......! |

I banned antibanker yesterday if that's who you're talking about. His posting was far too off topic in nearly every thread he posted in. This is bitcointalk, not jewtalk.
Ummm... Did you know theymos has moved antibanker's posts to jew.bitcointalk.org with a bunch of weird metal eagle pictures and animated gifs of jews (with horns...) taking gas showers. wtf is that?! |

Fwiw, I've had a BFL pre-order in escrow for ~half a year. Agreement in that case is to have original purchaser mine on new buyer's pool of choice until unit is shipped to new buyer, at which time escrow is released - so no need to change address with BFL. They also have a clause for performance variances not lining up with specs I can post if you're interested.
(I handle escrow for free/tips, too!)

ehh, wtf, people. What's with this "OMG! BITCOIN CRASHED" whining? Right now it is $92.78/BTC1 on BTC-e. Bitcoin is still the most expensive currency in the world. Show me other currency that is worth at least $50/unit. Besides, Gold is dropping in value too. So what?
Some people will have lost a lot of money. Most people on here are no longer quite as rich as they used to be, as their utterly 'obscene Bitcoin' profits have shrunk to merely 'obscene' profits. Now that sentiment has turned negative, I would imagine that save for a dead cat bounce or ten, that Bitcoin is going to trend lower over the next period of time until some stability and trust has been restored. Of course, what the hell do I know, I never seen the bull explosion coming so I dont know what makes me qualified to the near term future in Bitcoin now. No valuation becomes a profit or a loss until you exchange back into the currency you started with. So if you bought coins at $250 each, then you haven't lost any money, or become "less rich" unless you sold those coins for a loss. So no one has done anything but declined in value. Which, as we have clearly seen, can climb quite quickly. I've never really understood this train of thinking. I understand continuing the gamble, but that doesn't mean you aren't down. "My IRA only declined 50% on PAPER, so I haven't lost anything because it could increase 1000% tomorrow." "I've lost 50% of the CasinoCoins I came in with, but if I keep playing, I haven't really lost anything unless I cash out at a loss." "I've only lost my coins with Pirate when I write it off, so if I never write it off, I'm never down." If you consider BTC as having no "real" USD value until you cash out, it would make sense that in accounting, you should immediately consider all BTC buys total losses. Anything else seems like denial. |

Someone's gotta distribute that fucking blockchain!
Maxconnections and disabling port forwarding is a pretty crude solution. If you're trying to use the Internet outside of hosting the blockchain, you could download a program like NetLimiter and set bandwidth caps either on the program or on the specific peers. Unfortunately, though, Bitcoin itself does not currently have this functionality.

Neither address you posted have ever had BTC in them according to the blockchain.
MyBitcoin.com was "hacked" a long time ago. I'm assuming the site is now compromised and OP is attempting to lure visitors, or is a victim.
Nobody should visit MyBitcoin.com, I'd suggest.

Was thinking about this while cooking eggs today. Yes, we "should," but no, we won't. "Bitcoins" have no tangible value, so we have to compare it to something we can use. I used to use "McDoubles," but that's really more related to valuing USD, not BTC (at least not independently). If McDonald's accepted BTC and didn't just rely on exchange prices, then they could effectively set the value of BTC for me, but for now, I rely on speculators, like with all currencies. For virtually everything you can buy with BTC, you can buy with USD, so it makes sense to check which one "costs less." If they don't match and it isn't a big deal, you may's well buy using the "overpriced" currency. Or, in a way I'm more able to relate to.... If McDonald's sold McDoubles for $1 or .5BTC, and I could sell .5BTC for $50 on Gox, I'd obviously want to pay for my enabled suicide using dollars, and I really don't give a shit about the stability of Bitcoin to the point of effectively paying 50x more for a cheeseburger! Hashpower is effectively determined by price, so determining price by hashpower (more competition = less BTC per hash) would be ridiculous. All we have are each others' emotions and gambles, and that's true with all currencies (except the cost barrier to changing most fiat currencies like USD is much, much higher -- tut makes a good point). |

Took ~1h to transfer $xk to Dwolla (~12h to verify Dwolla, yesterday). Bank verification is generally 1-5 days wherever you are. I think Gox does (or did) the same as Dwolla; deposits a few cents in your account within a few days, then requires you to relay the exact amounts to them.
I wouldn't think wires require the same kind of verification, but unsure... new AML regulations each week.

So are those of us who made a profit trading the last couple days part of the conspiracy, or just a fringe minority?
