Yes, we do, and I am tired of it as well.  I have run into this at the corporate level with being laid off, and so I'm more than a little jaded at the moment.  All we can do, individually, is to not act like those who take advantage of others.

We can't change the behavior of others, only ourselves.
Sam

What did the non English subtitles say?

1.  Yes it was always like this.  Looking back at history we see all types of evil.  In our current society some things are getting better.  Such as the internet allows us to interface with people we would otherwise never know or understand.  But it is also getting worse because anyone can say or do anything now with little or no repercussions.  So allot of us don't act as responsibly as we should.

2.  I think we all should "toughen up and take it "like a man"".  At the same time we should exercise a little more personal responsibility.  In this information age we have allot of power that previous generations didn't have, but we don't always reflect how our words and actions effect those around (in the virtual sense) us.  We should concentrate on more personal responsibility and raising up our fellow man and speaking as well of him as we can as apposed to trying to crush another line of reasoning.

I take issue with the idea that "This world runs on EVIL,GREED and SELFISHNESS".

Yes there are allot people who definitely fit these categories, but, with the exception of actual and real Evil, these aren't completely bad qualities if not taken to extreme.

There are allot of selfless people in this world and we may out of jealousy or lack of self examination think these people fit one or more of the above categories.

So I think if we try to look objectively at ourselves and our motives, as well at our fellow man/woman/person we may see something different in them as well as ourselves.

Sam

I'd say either of those would be appropriate.  Flip a Bitcoin

But I see this mainly as a societal issue so I would lean towards that.
Sam

An extremely large round/block was just completed.  So give it some more time to show up.

While I disagree, in part, with your assessment of what runs the world I do think your thread would be a worthwhile discussion.  So if you start it please post the URL here and I would be happy to join in on the, hopefully constructive, discussion.
Sam

As I said before, I'm sure you and your team will get things squared away, again.

As for the annoying people in the community, I'm afraid that it isn't just in the Bitcoin community.  They are everywhere.  That is the shape of our new society created by the internet and this is the environment our children and grandchildren will have to live with as the standard for behavior.  It makes me sad, nobody believes in objective truth anymore.

Anyway, pointing some hashes at eu.
Thanks,
Sam

Sorry to hear that.  But I'm confident your team will get on top of it.  Let me know here when things are stabilized again.

When things are working I have been very satisfied with your pool.
Thanks,
Sam

I went to the web site again today and got fresh stats over what I was seeing yesterday.  But each time I refresh the page it does not update.

So does the site update just once a day now?
Sam

Is the pool or web site down?  The web site stat's changed all day, as far as I can tell anyway.
Sam

Your GPU mining in a VM?  I wouldn't have thought that would ever work.  Don't VM's emulate the video card with a very generic driver such as an S3 Chipset?

I think that is a bit out of my depth as I'm using a dedicated machine running native WinXP SP3.
Sam

OK, that's a different problem at the moment.

What version of Catalyst and OpenCL do you have installed?

Have you successfully used previous versions of CGMiner?
Sam

That could be related to my post.

Check your CGMiner directory and see if the two *.bin files got created or not.
Sam

Copied them over and it seems to be fine.
Thanks,
Sam

I completely missed the 2.2.x releases till today.

2.2.1 doesn't create the bin files in WinXP.  Are the ones from CGMiner 2.0.0 compatible with the 2.2.x?
Thanks,
Sam

If people telling the truth is misleading to you then you need to go back on your meds.

And you can tell what the luck is, albeit after the fact, it is a gamble on weather it trends up or down and I understand that you can't tell what the luck (I really don't like that term) is going to be from one round to the next.  But today it was pretty good on Deepbit and Ozco.

I'm going back into my timeout corner now.
Sam

I don't know why "only lately" you have been able to figure you that DB charges a 10% PPS fee.  Tycho has posted several times to DB customers that the fee is 10%.  So the information in % was and is freely available to DB miners.  And the actual price has *always* been available on the main page.

I haven't mined PPS on DB in months.  But I do still mine proportional there when the luck is good.  Like today.
Sam

If your quote was a stand alone statement your interpretation would be true.  But you have ripped it out of context.  Here is the complete quote

"We pay a competitive price:

    * Pay per share: 0.00003441081600403 BTC per every submitted share"

Since you/we/others may rightfully quibble about what constitutes a "competitive price" (subjective), having the actual price listed there does constitute full disclosure (objective).

Sam

You call a pool posting exactly what they pay per share a lie?  I call it full disclosure.

If you think people are too lazy or too stupid to compare prices that is hardly something to get upset with DB about.  Actually I think that says more about what you think about your fellow Bitcoin enthusiasts.

I don't disagree with idea that the large pools are centralizing too much power in what is supposed to be a DEcentralized currency.  But that is hardly something to get pissed at any pool about.  What do you expect a pool to do?  Tell paying customers to go away?  That's ridiculous.
