sorry can you elaborate on this? reverting to 0.7 means the qt client has to be 0.7? I just upgraded to 0.8..

is that what you mean by it?

Hello everyone,

there is an emergency right now: the block chain has split between 0.7+earlier and 0.8 nodes. I'll explain the reasons in a minute, but this is what you need to know now:

• After a discussion on #bitcoin-dev, it seems trying to get everyone on the old chain again is the least risky solution.
• If you're a miner, please do not mine on 0.8 code. Stop, or switch back to 0.7. BTCGuild is switching to 0.7, so the old chain will get a majority hash rate soon.
• If you're a merchant: please stop processing transactions until the chains converge.
• If you're on 0.7 or older, the client will likely tell you that you need to upgrade. Do not follow this advise - the warning should go away as soon as the old chain catches up.
• If you are not a merchant or a miner, don't worry.

Hi John, do you happen to do money gram to BTC by any chance?

Seriously now...what sense does that make? If three months down the road you want to start a business and advertises yet thermos goes "fu, i don't trust you, you can't buy advertising here" what are you going to say?

Can't have it both ways simultaneously, this isn't quantum physics. Either open and open or else nazi and nazi.

So with coins worth about $40 per now I'm out over $1600 USD thanks to Hashking.  That's enough to motivate me to do something.

As mentioned before everybody is willing to chip in After-The-Fact if a settlement is reached.  We need to create a fund of people who are willing to pay up-front.  Anybody who does not contribute to the fund is not eligible for compensation from the settlement (if one is reached).  I have no legal background but I get to have fun with a deposition in a couple week (God I hate those things).  I'll be asking my med-mal lawyer if he know any attorneys in who might be willing to pursue the case.  But I'm located in CA and Hashking is located in the crook capitol of the US (Chicago area I believe).  If anybody in that vicinity knows an attorney who might be able to take up the case that would be better.

I think a reasonable number to ask if for 12.5 to 25% of the amount lost - in my case I lost about 40 BTC so I would have to chip in 5-10BTC.  We either need a mod or a very senior member to act as collections for fund.  I'm not volunteering myself as I'm too busy at the moment with the deposition, my business, babies, etc.

True. I know that happens, but why? If you are aren't willing to sell then why put it up. Some sort of Bearish psychological stunt?

I've installed GUIMiner on 3 machines all pooling for deepbit, I'm using the latest GUIMiner, and using the tags -v -w 128 -f 60 when I mine,
but after being on for about 10 minutes the hashrate drops from about 45 MHash/s to about 600 kHash /s.  I have checked and disabled all of my
power saving settings (windows 7).  What am I doing wrong?

ON TOPIC UPDATE TO MY TF SCAM CASE:
I have publicly agreed to donate 100% of the scammed coins TF took from me to charity.
So far I've recovered
--0--
of the 27 coins TF scammed from me (he scammed them by pretending to competently develop my website, story in this thread and also the thread here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=146319.0)
I see there's no updates on his work products or reviews thereof so hopefully he's stopped doing it, but after making this kind of money that's unlikely.
How does the poll thing work again?
Also, I was briefly banned from posting to forum or sending messages for "SPAM". What are the forum rules on that? It's tough following the rules of my community if I don't know them. . .

He's been active on the forum subsequent to my sending funds and PM'ing him payment instructions. He's ignored PM and email requests for payment.

Probably a stolen PP account. PP will rectify on my behalf, but I wanted to warn others.

I can do Polish and French translations but you need to provide more info on who you are, what software will you be using, how do you want to plan it, what will be the agreement, how many shares will people get for work and how many shares will be issued in total, how is your decentralized stock market engine (why not try MPOE who has some trust unlike you) going to look like. Now all I see is chaotic thoughts, please be more concrete.
You might also want to post this on other boards.
