Stats are averaged, yes.

This sounds strangely familiar.

You seem to be under the impression of Bitcoin being intended for end-user use. It is not. What it is is an experiment and a proof of concept for the viability of a cryptocurrency in the first place. That's an error easily made however and in fact lots of users here and so called "Bitcoin businesses" make the same error.

Yes, by all means let's have gradients in a logo. This will present no problems at all anywhere ever.  (Yes, I know the current most-used logo has the same clusterfuck of a problem.)

I still remember the first mining client. That thing was fast.

10 PRINT "FOUND A BITCOIN!"
20 GOTO 10

I think I remember a guy having ordered 28 Avalons or somesuch. But if he did, he'd surely have gloated about it already. Silently just turning these things on and then commenting on it way later smells decidedly like fried cats.

Congrats. 

I don't think it's connection related. I'm connected via X-WiN/GÉANT 2/Internet2 right now.

Not a single one got caught and busted.

Usually it works like this:

1) Scammer offers completely obvious untenable financial or product offer with promises of huge returns / oddly convenient to use wallet or exchange site.
2) Bitcoiners shove their live savings into scammers throat.
3) Sane people warn against completely obvious scam
4) Sane people get angrily shouted down / put on ignore / accused of envy / accused of trolling / accused of hating bitcoin.
5) Bitcoiners shove more money into scammers throat.
6) Scammer gets 'hacked' and disappears.
7) Bitcoiners put on frowny faces and angrily shake their fists at sane people for being so rude to scammer they "made scammer disappear"
8 ) Bitcoiners happily await their refund.
9) Bitcoiners happily await their refund. Sane people snicker.
10) Bitcoiners happily await their refund. Sane people move over to investigate next obvious scammer.
11) Bitcoiners get slightly concerned there might be some problem with the refund.
12) Bitcoiners ineffectually gather information on scammers mother or spouse.
Optional) "Yes, Ma'am, I'm calling from the Internet about your son/groom. Hello? Hello?"
13) Bitcoiners express some concern they might have been scammed.
14) Bitcoiners convince themselves police doesn't care about theft because unlike gold bars Bitcoin has no stamp saying "If stolen, police will totally look for a thief." Sane people remind Bitcoiners gold bars have no such stamp either and the police totally will look into bitcoin theft. Sane people get shouted down because "I wasn't at my police station but I just KNOW they won't do a thing, so you're obviously wrong, sane people."
15) Third parties offer to go on a baseball bat boy baseball bat swinging tour. Third parties get deleted.
16) Bitcoiners get slightly angry at scammer.
17) Bitcoiners express disbelief they could have been so easily scammed, maintaining that "NO ONE could have known."
18) The sun grows to the size of the orbit of the inner planets incinerating all within.

That plan has been brought to his attention several times. It's called the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.

You might think so, but the reality of the matter is that I am agath, well known IRC person superstar extraordinaire.  So is the poster six posts above. Also the one 19 posts below.

I hear it's really easy to receive refunds if one just asks oneself to refund oneself. I also just gave myself a million euro. In 10 euro notes.

But but but butbutbut I'm allergic to crabs.
