Bots rely on pricing data to make their decisions.
Guess what happens when they get fed a bunch of bogus data?
Right, I didn't think of that. But the bot writers should know this problem, as it has been there for a while already. Still, it is a possible explanation. I'm not so sure whether Mtgox gives warranty of their feeds being correct 100% of the time. I agree that this is very questionable, but might still be the case. Imagine the NASDAQ reporting AAPL spiking to $900 a share and back again with no order executed in between. There would be questions asked, to say teh least. Scottrade did this with NWA around the time of the Delta merger announcement. Went from $~4 to ~$400 for a minute and back to normal. |

6 months ago I was buying bitcoin with paypal (coinpal) and I think it was under a dollar, I also spent most of those bitcoin, wish I had held, but its fun to play with. Most recently I bought at ~14 when I thought it would go back up, sold ~13 bought at 8, and bought some more at 4. waiting till it hits $1 to buy some more. Also I've acquired bitcoin a small amount of bitcoin from methods other than exchange for USD.

so when an attacker finds that you have an extremely secure password, they can now guess that you have a password wallet somewhere, and go after that

I'm using win xp and the gui miner, got it running fine most of the bitcoin pools, also ran it on a namecoin pool, no problems.
I've tried to mine on IXCoin and IOCoin and SoildCoin and it keeps timeing out or some other error
For solid coin I tried on sc digbit and sc guild, and bitparking, can't remember any other pools I've tried.
Its an old MacBook so its an nvidia card that does about 5mhash, I know shouldn't be mining on a laptop... I'm just playing with it for a little while. Not sure what I'm missing, I've found that the opencl miner works best on the normal bitcoin pools, is something else needed for these alternative chains?

cross over uses wine to run windows apps on a mac, I think its available for other boxes too.
React is one of the alternatives
I have one or 2 other alternatives sitting on my storage drive as a virtual machine image. Tested them in virtual box one was really slow, and the other crashed all the time. They got that part of windows copied perfect.
Also there is TinyXP and other flavors. These are considered pirated. I think they are pre activiated so no winblows genuwine dis-advantage.

Someone could write an iFart ButtCoin edition, include Bitcoind as an easter egg.
There's your useless app Steve, oh right.... Tim Cook is in charge now, let's see what he thinks about bitcoin
I'm enjoing the bitcoin app on my android phone. I've even got some people to install it.

Same reason hobos chill around gas stations. Some people have loose change  Not the same at all. Unless that hobo is also a day trader, and is asking for some free stock on wall street.  |

I was remembering the discussion about BeerCoin and it mostly came out as a joke
I was thinking It might be good to have a separate chains for Basic Necessities, Productive things, and Entertainment. And maybe some other thing I haven't thought of.
This would complicate things, and its nowhere near time to do it. NameCoin is still much less popular. Are there any other Active chains? I know theres SolidCoin and a few others but does anyone take them seriously?
what I am suggesting, would need wide spread adoption of bitcoin first, and the NecessitiesCoin would be something like FoodStamps/Welfare/HUD.
Depending on what is going on with the economy Entertainment or Doing productive things could be more or less valuable, but could fluctuate more independently from each other.
Just something fun to think about

Theres a topic somewhere on stuff to talk about and stuff to not talk about to the general public. Has some good ideas, but DefCon isn't the general public so those rules don't exactly apply. I think I was reading a thread about calling mining auditing instead. Don't feel like searching for it right now, need some sleep before headding back to the con.

Defcon Badges sold out, I have a generic Human badge, and Bribe Card. I might get to exchange it for a real badge in a few hrs.

I was thinking of doing something similar, but I can't program much.
I'm looking around for some open source stuff to modify to make it work the way I want.

try 0.1 instead of .1
0.1 is the smallest i think. 0.09 won't work
