" Could it be because most noobs are rude, demanding and downright lazy? Maybe?"  Do you see the irony here? Could it be that it's YOU instead who is being "rude, demanding and downright lazy" with new members? This forum is rife with such typical libertarian douchebaggery. It's all over the place. We are the elite, the bright ones - We deserve all we got - The rest of the world is stupid, lazy, demanding - They deserve nothing - Keep them away from me Could it be your attitude and lack of any work ethic that causes said "douchebaggery"? I think so. Stop blaming others for your actions and attitudes of entitlement. Let me give you a parting gift:  |

One of the struggles bitcoin needs to overcome to achieve mass acceptance is ease of use and understanding. Bitcoin Talk plays an invaluable role in this process as noobs and not-so-noobs venture here to understand, to teach, to help each other and more broadly bitcoin.
While I understand from a spam protection point of view, bitcointalk needs to have measures in place to deal with spammy bastards, there is a fine balance to be struck between controlling spam and facilitating the participation of newbies.
I've spent about 8 hours trying to accumulate the required 4 hours logged in time, because I can't just leave a browser open, and the session doesn't seem to carry for a few minutes (so if I spend longer than a few minutes reading a thread, those minutes aren't counted) - I've also found there to be a little bit of elitist attitude to participating in the forums. ie. "you need to know enough about bitcoins before you can participate" - that's not the right attitude, in fact it should be "welcome, you are new and you know nothing, so welcome into the fold, we will teach you".
I'm not one to criticise without making practical suggestions:
1) Definitely reduce the "total logged in time" - arguably to as low as 30 minutes should be more than enough to fight off the spammers. Actually 24 hours would work better.
2) Noobs need more forums where they can discuss things and feel included, rather than just a "noobs" forum. Nope then the spam and even more lazy questions will fill the boards.
3) A general attitude change to welcome noobs - to be honest I haven't found this place too elitist, save for a few threads in the noobs forum Could it be because most noobs are rude, demanding and downright lazy? Maybe?
4) Some hoops noobs can jump through to get verified more quickly - ie. the "Get me out of here" thread should theoretically auto-approve posters because they are clearly not bots. Or some other form of second stage authentication. I vote for increasing post counts and hours for reading.
The other thing I noticed when I first joined is the noobs thread took a bit of finding, and I only went looking after I discovered I couldn't reply to a post. I'm not sure what measures are in place to provide info to noobs about their restrictions, my feedback would be to make this more obvious/prominent. Didn't read the rules, did you? You are a part of the problem. READ.
Meant with the best will in the world, for the betterment of bitcointalk and the community in general.

Why - God forbid people have questions, I know it might be tedious to answer them but I guess that is what we all, as custodians of bitcoin, should be happy to do.
Not wanting to answer those questions is one and the same with not wanting new people to become involved with bitcoin.
There are partial solutions, for example setup a shapado install on a sub-domain, but being anti-noob is totally counter productive.
God forbid you actually use Google or Search. Oh the agony of actually trying to help yourself! |

Part of the unfriendliness to noobs is caused be the endless repetition of allready hundereds of times answered questions (for the fourth year and counting). A part of the solution could be learning material and tests before you are allowed to post on the forums, possibly separate materials and tests for different forums.

hello again,so after some research in this bitcoin world i decided to give a test to my computer before making any investments. I started with GUIminer and this is what it shows:  Uploaded with ImageShack.usSo my hash rate is 1,1 Mhash/s . So in how manny days, weeks, months , years , i can make 1 bitcoin? All the info you want can easily be found by using Search. You questions have been answered over and over and over and over............ You missed the boat for BTC mining, better off buying. |

References? PP is the Devil you know.
I definitely know. I need to accept paypal payment everyday so I am very carefully dealing with every paypal payment. However, people including I still like to accept paypal because 1) paypal is so popular, almost everyone has a paypal account. 2) paypal is so easy to cash out to local bank account with no fee By following some strict rules, 99% paypal transactions could be safe You were warned. |

Will try that. And i'm guessing you meant 500 MH/s not KH/s.
For BTC yes but I've been LTC mining for awhile since it's not worth it for BTC, so kh/s. |
|
|
|
|
I believe my settings were 800/800 Intensity 16. That got me just under 500kh/s for the pair.
Edit: I was using cgminer.
You've checked the usual things such as screensaver, power profiles? Up the Mem speed a bit, see what happens. I had a GPU that wouldn't work but 100 Mhz below stock.

Shit dude...just give me some opinions...I am pretty new to this. I have read, and still haven't figured out what I need. Plus, I am getting a deal that wont last long , so I need quick answers  What the Search bar is for. Dozens of threads on Asics, try it. GPU mining is long gone. Best bet is for you to buy BTC. |
|
|
|
So I finally found a legit deal, and it's 5830, should I go for it? It's gonna be a single set up in my pc... Also, what about ASICs.....I am willing to invest in that...what are your opinions on it, and is there any out yet?  Didn't read? |

thanks
but try this already ...
not very good...
do you have command list?
Lot of these guides assume you knowledge level is higher so they can be frustrating. Type G in the terminal window. |

I made it, because I couldnt find a definite answer, not because I am lazy, but on the opposite because I have spent 3 hours trying to get the answer, and my guess was its the best to get a first hand answer, not some website who tested the card in games. Its like when you read those tests how the VTX 3d 7950 overclocks like crazy and it is the best card, and everyone says wow it runs at 1200mhz, but no one mentions that the card is voltage locked at 1.25V and there is no way to run 2 of them in same computer because they burn up everything. That is why I made a topic here...
30 seconds on Google and it was answered on the first page. Alternately you could have downloaded TRIXX and found out for yourself. Usually for mining you want to LOWER the memory clocks and UNDERVOLT the card. All this information is quickly found using Search or Google. Because you fail at using either, I would recommend leaving the card alone or you may destroy it. I don't mind helping but I refuse to spoon feed. Read for yourself. |

Need any tips and tricks, internet is not helpfull.
First of all - are they voltage locked?
Second - anyone measured how much power they pull ?
Ever heard of Google? Try it. so you dont know either, got it. I'm not so lazy I have to make a thread to try to get people to do my bidding. |

I really don't see why people are saying MoneyPakTrader is the scammer and not TF.
I saw the code, half it's functions were not working, the structure looks like it was made by a 14 year old with 2 months experience.
IMHO, the job that MoneyPakTrader paid for was not delivered in time nor completed, so he deserves at-least a partial refund.
Did he or you agree on pay to fix the supposed mess that was made? If so, did you quote a cheaper price? Without actually seeing it we can't honestly know if it's good or bad. TF claims it was working when sent and now doesn't work. Did you or anyone change it in any way? I'm the programmer that's working to "fix" (pretty much a complete rewrite) the code. I asked for 16 BTC, when I started I didn't knew who was the first programmer (TF), only when I saw it on my "Show unread posts since last visit." list. When the script was delivered to me, some of the features weren't working, I didn't change the code before the tests. He has terrible programming techniques. "Terrible Programming Techniques" still doesn't always mean it won't work as intended. Just because you are more efficient doesn't invalidate someone's work. I learned that long ago when I first started HTTP. Thanks for the reply. "When the script was delivered to me, some of the features weren't working" That's all I wanted to know. Thanks. |

Still no acceptance of legally binding arbitration from MoneyPakTrader.com. Judge.me accepts bitcoin, and I'd like to go with that to increase use of the currency.
I've already addressed this issue a couple posts above. Also, in response to why don't I let TF finish the site: The reason I don't let him finish is because his work is horrible and after I repeatedly reported the problems in his finished product and being given another "finished product" by him that didn't work up to the specs, I have no obligation to let him string me on any more while delivering shoddy work. I encourage other users to try TF coding and judge for themselves rather than trusting the 3 people who are unsatisfied with his work. I see he now offered to pay the $300 fee to use judge.me after you made this comment about resolution. This seems strange as I offered to let him out of the contract for 12 BTC (out of the 27 I paid). I am willing to arbitrate. I am offering to pay for legally binding arbitration. [...] I suggest judge.me.[...]
I accept your offer and choice (judge.me). Since you're paying the cost ($300). It seems that unless I accept, I would definitely lose all 27BTC. I am reluctant to use this service when there are no published cases, but it seems I have no other viable option for recovering my loss. Assuming TF pays for arbitration to decide how much of a refund he owes me, that would be great. I encourage other coders to assist in reviewing TF's finished site he gave me and judge for themselves if it is a finished product. I shouldn't need to go through every basic aspect of the site and tell him how it doesn't work, that's what I was doing with TF. Finally when the Bitcoin deposit system (an integral part of the site which was the first thing I asked him to do for the site) was non-functional after TF attempted to deliver a working bitcoin deposit system for the 10th time or so, I demonstrated it didn't work and posted the evidence (in the other forum thread). As TF drags this out, it becomes obvious he is using my coins to "go long" as he says with BTC intending to keep the profit of any price increases. TF, if you're not going to reimburse the 16 BTC I'm paying to finish the job you said was done (only 12BTC after giving you the craptastic programmer discount), my settlement offer will be revoked 24hrs from this post. I am holding you responsible for theft of 27 BTC through fraud/scam through misrepresentation of services. Your coding is not worthy of being sold. You can send your "finished product" of my site to any competent programmer and they will say the same thing. You could continue to finish the site you repeatedly said was already finished and it would still be craptastic and unacceptable on the most cursory review. I contracted for TF to set up the site on my server, so complaining about the server is non-excusable. After it became obvious TF was incapable of delivering a usable product that wasn't buggy (when he delivered a "final product" to me for about the 10th time which was full of bugs), I was obligated to stop trusting him with my website. Any rational business owner would have done the same (probably a lot sooner). My mistake was trusting him when there were obvious signs of his coding incompetence from the start. He pretended to know how to do everything I wanted from the start and then after I give him coins, he blamed the site/server and everything except his own incompetence for his inability to do what he promised. Now he blames me, like I sabotaged his masterpiece so that I could pay someone else to fix it. It makes no sense, if he gave me a complete product worth paying for I wouldn't need to hire someone else to do the job. . . As most clients looking for website development, my goal is a finished website that is secure, functional, well designed, and capable of being expanded. TF work on my site was counter-productive to all these goals. For these reasons, I feel my settlement offer is overly generous and lets TF make off with 15 BTC, FAR more than he earned by giving me a worthless/nonfunctional website. Hopefully we can have another programmer review his code and they will agree it is NOT a finished website as TF claimed. There is a point in the contracting process where the client can say, enough is enough, I was well beyond that point with TF and well within my rights to fire him for incompetence. You keep running your mouth after you agreed to arbitration. The more you talk the more you convince me you are a terrible employer who tries to bully others into accepting less for their work. If you don't want him to fix it, that's on you and he owes you nothing. |
