Any reason you won't use a more recent release?
Could be because he doesn't like qt
3402  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Eliminating Captcha's w/ Bitcoin on: April 24, 2012, 02:21:11 AM
If you can figure out how to sell captcha solutions of 95% accuracy rate on recaptcha for less than USD $1.35 (about 0.25 BTC at todays price) per 1000 solutions, then you will have found a business model.

interesting ....never occurred to me  sounds like you know a lot about this ?

Indeed. We're currently spending about $600 a week on bulk captcha solutions from imagetyperz and get their best pricing, but I think there is still room for improvement as the service is paid by paypal or credit card. I also believe they are just reselling some foreign labor using some kind of data entry platform, and that probably involves more fees to get the payments to the individual workers who end up typing these things. Now I have no idea what country or language the actual workers who type the captcha solutions are in, but they are there doing it reliably 24/7 and I'm thinking that there must be ways to connect those workers with the $$$ being paid for the bulk services without the middle men or fees, and the end result should be the most cost competitive captcha solving service out there. Having such a service only available for Bitcoin but at a clearly better pricing will encourage the whole black-hat-seo industry to think about getting into Bitcoin simply as a matter of operational cost savings.

I had no idea about this stuff. So your basically saying there are services that have human beings breaking captcha's and people pay for them ? lol

Scalpers trying to buy up everything on Ticketmaster.com the moment tickets are released
nah, the tickets just get "magically" transferred to "Tickets Now" (owned by ticketmaster, sells at huge markups). Besides, captcha solving services usually have a response time of > 15 sec, so they're not exactly ideal for time sensitive operations.

+1, but instead of question marks, it should be caution signs.

Channel topic changed to "Possibly back up and running?" and shares are being passed through to my offline pool.

Thanks to zux0r and pirateat40 for working so hard (all night) to get gpumax back in fighting shape!

If anyone has doubts about these two individuals, I am here to let you know they are the best of the best. I'm sticking with GPUMAX.
confirmed, still down for me

probably. most of his for sale posts are way over market price, and he's justifying it by saying since it's in BTC, it's ok.

Keep up the great prices, Andrew Bitcoiner!

Server price: $200 @amazon

But but but.... my OCZ 1250 PSU is the only PSU I have ever really LOVED!   Does that make me one of those CSR stats?

My big concern here is that you are putting so many of our BTC on known-faulty hardware.  What is your data replication strategy, both for this and FPS&T?

I think I need to talk with some of those default bond issuers.
i'm going to confirm that. OCZ PSUs sucked for me.

just download with 0.6.0. should take less than 2 hours.
3415  Economy / Currency exchange / Need $1 USD via Paypal on: April 20, 2012, 10:58:12 PM
I want exactly $1 sent to my paypal account. I need it to test something. Please note there's a chance that I won't need it. If I don't need it, I will refund the payment within 10 minutes. The rate will be the "last" price on mtgox. If you're in the US or Canada, you can send it to me as a gift, and it will be fee free for both of us. Otherwise, you pay the fees.
3416  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: So I've build this great thing Bitcoin micro donations on: April 19, 2012, 11:33:45 PM
pretty much this:
Seems strange that you chose to replicate flatter system.

Flatter is essentially a solution to the problem of micro donations.  With credit card costs being $0.30 + 3% making small tx doesn't make sense.  That is the only reason flatter charges the user each month and then splits their monthly fee/fund into per click donation then combines it with other donations and issues a single payment to each donatee.

It is simply an abstraction.  It isn't optimal.  They only did it that way because of the "rules of the game" associated with credit cards.

With Bitcoin you have very low tx costs and have no way to do recurring billing.  Trying to fit their method into a Bitcoin system feels like a square peg in a round hole.

No, you should not
I agree with Andrew. Building a website that handles money is a terrible first project.

SQLi, anyone?
3418  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Fee calculation disparity and why it happens on: April 19, 2012, 09:11:15 PM
coin "age" is taken into account when dealing with transactions, and a block could have poped up in that time, so i'm not surprised.
3419  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Want to build a website, 0 coding experience... Should I? on: April 19, 2012, 09:09:06 PM
Would it be a waste of time for me to try and learn to code and build this site my self?
if you're not worried about getting the site up in a hurry, and you have the patience + time to study, sure. otherwise, hire a freelancer to do it.
