Man if the OP was just joking that's gonna suck, because he has police involved now!

Is Jon really an alias of Atlas?  If so, what is wrong with this Atlas dude?  He seems to spend 25 hours a day on forums.

Why don't you have an option for both?  I'm short on Bitcoinica and on Gox I have been selling off a coin at a time as the price goes up.  Once we dip below $5 again I will buy back some coins and liquidate the short  Grin

this is why we are going to 8$
Here we are below 5 again.  Bought back all the coins I sold off during the rally.  Bitcoinica short starting to get back into the green.  Didn't quite hit 8 now did we?  Grin

I disagree with changing the in-game currency from ISK to BTC.  The in-game economy and currency need to be independent, the value of ISK needs to float in relation to their market.  Imagine EVE as it's own country, the economy and market in the game is fantastic if you check it out.
324  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Get EVE to accept BTC for subscriptions on: April 23, 2012, 08:34:37 PM
http://community.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&nbid=28599

CCP announced earlier this month that they are now taking GBP for subscriptions.  I had no idea they were restricting customers to using the Euro before, but this made me think.  If they can make a change like that, what if they go through the process of figuring out how to accept BTC for subscriptions?  CCP Garlakadl appears to be the person in charge of billing.  Not sure how to contact him, clicked on his name and there was no e-mail.  He even adds this in part of that blog post - "We are regularly looking into additional payment systems, so that list may grow over time. "

I'm not good at sounding professional for requests like this.  Anyone else play EVE and want to pay subscriptions with BTC?

PS - I don't know where to put this, so I'm putting it in general so that a mod may move it.

A 1% increase is so small you can blame it on normal variance.
326  Economy / Speculation / Re: Time is Now on: April 20, 2012, 08:47:42 PM
I sold too soon... I need to buy back in
Don't buy back in too soon.  For every 10 cent rise I have sold a few more BTC.  However, I'm not buying back in till we are below 5.05 or, *rubs hands*, back below 5 again.

Yes, my e-mail was leaked during the great Gox hack of 2011, so I get stuff like this every once in a while.

I feel your pain.  My mining rig, which also doubles as my daily driver, and triples as my home business computer lost an SSD and a PSU within 1 week of operation.  I was down 2 weeks for the SSD, when the PSU let go I said "hell no" and picked up an 80+ gold ASAP.

OCZ SSD? Smiley  Those things are worse than sitting in the electric chair and hoping for a call from the governor.  On the bright side, they know their product is junk, so they never give you any problems with RMA.
Actually, yes, OCZ Vertex 2.  When I bought it I didn't do my 40 hours of research while at work that I usually do, so I did not read the numerous posts about it being a bucket of fail, along with the guys in this thread.  They replaced it no questions asked, because as said before it is known to have critical flaws by OCZ themselves.  So burned emotionally after that.

still no public work? those updates takin a while to roll out!
oh wellz, my fucking mining rig blew up last night. Luckily the cards and PSU are good. Just need new mobo/ram/cpu now UGH....

333  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: OC 7970 on: April 19, 2012, 07:47:18 AM
Just like my 5830's I had a few hundred hours at top speed on my 7970 at a glorious 1200MHz core.  Ran a few more weeks at 1175, now I'm down to 1150.  It's the crashes in the middle of the night that I don't catch until I wake up that kills the profits.  Which means it's better to run at a lower core that is more stable than try to eek out that last 5MH/s.  As far as voltage, every time I cranked up voltage I had diminishing returns on clock speed while power usage and heat skyrocketed.  I don't recommend touching the voltage.
334  Economy / Speculation / Re: major breakout imminent! on: April 19, 2012, 05:41:42 AM
Well I was totally wrong about my "double-top".  I still think we will return below $5 like we keep doing over and over.  Good thing I hedge now, my Bitcoinica short is starting to look nasty  Shocked
335  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Windows 8 on: April 18, 2012, 06:40:37 PM
I can't say I see any benefits to using Windows 8 right now.  I've been daily driving it since the original post.  Like someone703 said it is pretty much just Windows 7 with the Metro UI for touchscreen devices.  As soon as I launch Chrome or Windows Explorer it takes me out of the Metro UI and 99% of my day is spent on a desktop that is identical to Windows 7.  I'm not sure what Microsoft was trying to accomplish for desktop devices here.  I've read articles that say they are trying to unify all devices and force them to use this Metro UI, but in reality I'm working all day without it in Win 8.
336  Economy / Speculation / Re: major breakout imminent! on: April 18, 2012, 04:04:38 PM
I know.  It's staying above $5 for longer than it usually does.  Although it *is* doing a sort of "double-top".  I don't know if double-top is an accepted charting term, but imagine the opposite of when everyone says double-bottom.

337  Economy / Speculation / Re: major breakout imminent! on: April 18, 2012, 05:18:44 AM
G'night folks.  See you back under $5 when I wake up.  Ammiright?

338  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Physical Silver ETF on GLBSE? on: April 12, 2012, 11:13:00 PM
That's exactly what I meant.  I could buy your silver ETF on GLBSE at lower commission rates (0% I guess) with bitcoin.
339  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Physical Silver ETF? on: April 12, 2012, 03:03:59 AM
Just set up a TD Ameritrade account.  Ran some numbers on doing trades with commission on stocks and ETF's.  The only thing I could think of while looking at SLV was that I wish I could buy a silver ETF with bitcoins at lower commission rates   Grin

Hmm, I don't see that problem in my cgminer.  Although I'm not logging and I'm not watching it 24 hours a day.  Mine just seems to be very reliable.
