I think everyone would sell their account for the right price. Come on guys, admit it. If you got offered 20BTC for you're account, which you merely just posted and gained a little trust (Which benefits you anyway). It's a win, win situation.
10BTC is a amazing offer, I thought you would of sold out on that Wink.

for the right price sure, he did offer me 20 btc, but i think its way too low.

Especially when VIP membership costs 50 BTC...

I realize this might sound a bit stupid to ask but, if i were to purchase one of those 5GH/s ASICs now, how long do you think before they ship it to me (not talking about shipping times). I heard somewhere they have started shipping or something, does this mean i wouldnt have to wait a year to get mine?
Thanks. Wink

Statement Regarding Account Verifications

The Bitcoin market continues to evolve, as do regulations and conditions of compliance for Mt. Gox to continue bringing secure services to our customers. It our responsibility to provide a trusted and legal exchange, and that includes making sure that we are operating within strict anti-money laundering rules and preventing other malicious activity.

As a result, beginning May 30th, 2013 all Mt. Gox user accounts are required to be verified in order to perform any currency deposits and withdrawals. Bitcoin deposits do not need verification, and at this time we are not requiring verification for Bitcoin withdrawals.

In the past two months Mt. Gox has invested in more than doubling our verification support staff, and we are currently able to process most verifications within 24~48 hours.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please visit the Security Center in your Mt. Gox account if you are not already verified, and keep in mind that being careful to submit the proper documents will result in a much faster processing time.

Regards

You came late to the game Smiley

Late spring and summer of 2011 and spring of 2013 until recently were the most profitable moments to mine with GPUs. It will only be getting worse and by the end of this year GPU miners will probably consist of <1% of total hashpower.
3351  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Ripple a Scam? on: May 30, 2013, 03:30:39 PM
This post pretty much sums up the current state of affairs:

First of all, Ripple/OpenCoin is NOT a scam. It is a legitimate business enterprise and it will be determined by the market whether it is a good currency (XRP) and payment system. The team behind it is great, and if Ripple takes off then I'm happy they'll all get rich. Capitalism is healthy. Now, there are plenty of good arguments why Ripple is inferior to Bitcoin, but the scam argument isn't one of them. People need to stop throwing that damn word around every time they dislike something.

Ripple is not a scam, but my contentions with Ripple are the following:

1) It is closed source. Yes it might open in the future, but until then, my contention stands. The point of cryptocurrencies is that you don't have to trust any single person or group. Right now, everyone using Ripple has to trust the team at OpenCoin.

2) It is centralized.  Yes it may become decentralized in the future, but until then, my contention stands. It is not trust of the OpenCoin team which worries me here, it is the fact that they are the single point of failure. They could be shut down tomorrow a la egold. If Bitcoin had been as centralized as OpenCoin when it was getting started, the Government would've arrested and shut down the project long ago.

3) Ripple does not allow users to send "every kind of currency." Ripple is marketed as better than Bitcoin because it can "send any kind of currency." This is not true. It sends IOU's around, which are created out of thin air. The asset - the currency unit itself - is not transferred via Ripple. Sure you can sell a Bitcoin on Ripple for a USD, but then do you have the USD? No, it rests with a gateway somewhere. To actually get it, you're back in the normal banking system just as if you had traded BTC for USD on an exchange. Ripple can only transfer one asset - XRP's - everything else is a debt that must be fulfilled and transferred by someone else. There are numerous liability/risk issues with a payment system that relies on trust, in this case you need to trust "gateways" with the currency units that Ripple claims you own.

4) Issuance of XRP's is left to the whims of men. I do not care that OpenCoin will keep X number of XRP and thus get wealthy if it takes off. That's fine. My problem is that the XRP's which are supposed to be distributed have no planned distribution model. It's basically "we'll give it to our friends" approach. The problem here is that when and where they will be given is unknown, which causes considerable economic supply concerns. We all know how many Bitcoins there are in the wild, we have no idea with Ripple. 100 billion were created, and some number between several million and 99 billion is currently in circulation. To the extent that OpenCoin can issue, at whim, tranches of new XRP's into the market, it is no more attractive to me as a money system than any central bank.

5) The security model of Ripple is untested. This isn't OpenCoin's fault... it just means that Ripple has not been exposed to the wild in the same way that Bitcoin has for four years. Ripple needs to earn credibility with time in the wild. A number of people I've spoken with have grave concerns about the security model of Ripple, but we'll just have to wait and see. There's nothing wrong with experimentation.

In my opinion, Ripple is a pretty clever way to take the allure of the successful cryptocurrency system and leverage it into a proprietary project that will make the creators of the project rich. And that's fine, rich is good. But, I don't see that Ripple has any significant advantage over Bitcoin from a monetary perspective, and that's what will ultimately decide the success of the two projects.

Ripple's competitive advantage rests on the tenuous assertion that it transfers standard currencies, when it reality it doesn't do this. Ripple only really transfers XRP's, and in this way it is no better than Bitcoin, which transfers BTC's... yet Bitcoin is far more proven, widespread, and decentralized.

Ultimately, competition in cryptocurrency land is good. I have great respect for the OpenCoin developers, and Ripple is certainly not a scam, but I remain unconvinced of the system's ultimate merit.

We really need this, I really get annoyed when i check new members posting their new coins with no virus scan or anything. It could be binded with some trojan to steal peoples money. I don't want to see anyone getting hacked, getting his money stolen. So it would be better if you make virus scan and malware analysis necessary in alternate cryptography section. It will help alot members.
For virus scan they can use
Virustotal.com
Virscan.org
For malware analysis:
Malwr.com
anubis.iseclab.org

Is that OK? 1 other advertisement, Primedice advertisement + 3 BTC raffle link and that's my post in the raffle thread with the twitter username: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=215749.msg2285100#msg2285100

I used to have a link to my (non-commercial) thread with a poll: How old are you? - poll, would that constitute an advertisement or can I also put it in the sig?
Hey, if you are advertising Bit 777 I think both of us would prefer if you didn't put both of our signatures in yours. Both of us have large signatures, looks very unappealing.

Well you yourself wrote:

-You may have up to one other advertisement/line

and Bit 777 responds to a question:

Added to sig. Payment address is 1JiDbdmDvbbiNowB9eVnHRvn1Em5aEYzt6

edit: we can have other ads in our sigs, right?

yes

So I guess I'll just keep it as it is without adding anything to remain compliant with rules you have set up in the OP  Wink

Do you want me to put your advertisement in the center or above Bit 777's?

my friend in Celle pays $0.13kw/h


Probably some 'green' power (solar or wind). It is much more expensive.
3357  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: Standard PCI to PCI-Express Adapters, Anyone got any experience with them? on: May 27, 2013, 07:13:51 PM
It might work (depends on the motherboard, if it doesn't disable all the options/functions and hardware that is not necessary for mining) but you should connect the GPU through a powered riser on top of that (unless it's a low-end GPU not used for mining) because PCI can provide max. 25W, a GPU can pull (according to PCI-E) specs up to 75W = possibility of frying the motherboard. It's not such of a problem with BTC mining and underclocked memory (use of GPU memory is what is responsible for most of the power pulled through the PCI-E port and you don't make much use of VRAM while SHA hashing) but I still wouldn't risk it.
3358  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How did you buy your first BTC? on: May 27, 2013, 06:25:01 PM
I'm planning my first bitcoin purchase and would be interested to hear what methods have or haven't worked for others for an initial purchase. Did it go smoothly? What problems/obstacles came up? Have you tried other methods since, or stuck to the one you started with?

You should add an additional option to the poll: I mined it.

Then used it to buy PCI-E x1-x1 risers.
