cgminer doesn't run in a window, it runs in a terminal (the terminal itself may run in a window, or it may not). You must set your terminal to the desired size before running cgminer (the procedure for doing this depends on what terminal program you are using); resizing your terminal while cgminer is running will not work correctly.

Hi, im new to purchasing bitcoins, but im intending on buying some via abnk deposit.

I'm just a little confused with the reference part?

In the instructions it quotes "(and ask the teller to include your reference)"

What does this exactly mean? Will the teller give me a reference number when i give the deposit slip? Please help D:::

thanks in advance
No. Your reference number will be given to you by Spend Bitcoins after you place your order. You then give that number to the teller when you make your deposit and make sure they record it with the transaction. Since neither Spend Bitcoins nor the bank collects any other information about you, there would otherwise be no way to automatically link your cash deposit to a specific order for bitcoins.

What guarantees that in the end a transaction will get a confirmation
The transaction fee. Strictly speaking, the fee doesn't guarantee that your transaction will be confirmed, but it gives miners a direct financial incentive to do so. If you fail to include a sufficient transaction fee, your transaction is likely to take a very long time to be confirmed, and there's no guarantee it ever will.

and why the high volatility of the estimation times from blockchain.info
The estimate is just that: an estimate. It takes into account the transaction fee you included versus the transaction fee that was expected and the priority of your transaction versus other unconfirmed transactions, but at the end of the day, it all comes down to whether a miner is willing to include your transaction in a block, and there's just no way to predict when (if ever) that'll happen.

What's the point of Freicoin?
You just lose money by getting it!  Shocked
That is the point. This is a revolutionary feature that makes Freicoin much better than Bitcoin. Or so the developers apparently believe for some unfathomable reason. They seem surprised that nobody actually wants it. Roll Eyes

I am curious though, how does this bit make sense?
Quote
Whereas, those who have faith in Jesus Christ, are not under the law, or may not be under the law.

From my understanding of christian mythology, "god's laws" would bind believer and unbeliever alike and you're the first christian i've come across to imply otherwise.
Correction: he's the first Christian to explicitly say that. Most fundamentalist Christians I've come across imply it all the time, especially in their attitude toward non-Christians. (And the Lord said "Thou shalt not kill, unless thy enemy is a heathen, in which case thou maist blow him into tiny bits." Here endeth the lesson.)

You haven't missed anything, except the boat on GPU mining, obviously. GPU mining just isn't profitable these days unless you have very cheap electricity.

Balls.

Yes it is. It means "on the day before yesterday". I know this because I once wondered if there was actually a word for the day before yesterday. It is at least the forth most useless thing I have ever learnt.

How do we know you actually have a list? Since you're offering scammers the ability to buy themselves off the list when someone buys it, you could (after someone buys the list from you) just claim that all the scammers have bought themselves off it and there's no list anymore, thus conveniently covering up the fact that you never had a list in the first place. Which, I have to admit, is a pretty ingenious scam.

But it is getting harder to get coins anonymously.
You do realise Mt. Gox was never anonymous in the first place, right?

Man, you are so behind the times. Drugs are last year's news. Everyone knows that gambling is what people are doing with their coins these days. There's also a rapidly growing market in pornography. You gotta keep up with the latest developments. No longer is Bitcoin exclusively a black market currency. It is now officially a dark grey market currency. And it's getting less dark by the minute.

both liked the same twin, even though they looked identical!
I don't like your attitude. Does it occur to you that they might like women for more than just their looks? Maybe one of the twins has a better personality, did you ever think of that? And by "better personality", I mean, "puts out more", which is kinda the whole point of dating in the first place. Roll Eyes

Oh man, I hate it when my peanuts only "may" contain peanuts. I once opened one up and there was nothing inside; it was just an empty peanut shell. I demanded a refund but they just pointed at the label. What a ripoff. Angry
3436  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Voip possible with ASIC and computer? on: June 09, 2013, 05:21:26 AM
So, what is your plan, exactly? Are you trying to use miners' unused resources to provide VoIP service? Because GPUs aren't at all useful for VoIP applications. All that is required for VoIP is a high-bandwidth, low-latency network connection, something which Bitcoin doesn't require and can't be spared by miners. Or are you trying to organise a mining pool which pays miners in VoIP services instead of (or in addition to) bitcoins?

In any case, neither of those actually involves the use of the Bitcoin blockchain or ASIC miners in any way, which is obviously a ridiculous idea and I'm not really sure why you even asked that in the first place. Huh

Nothing can bring my brother back, but we would like to start something that possibly turns into a label on ALL peanut products in ALL stores. Like a big red P sticker, or a picture of my brother.
Great plan. Because a big red P or a picture of your brother is a much clearer indication that a product contains peanuts than just the words "CONTAINS PEANUTS" in capital letters. Roll Eyes

I don't get this at all. A kid dies because he ate something that had peanuts in it available at his home? Why would the parents even eat products that could have peanuts if they knew the outcome of having that stuff around. I'm sorry for your loss but that borders on neglect.
He already explained it. His step-dad decided to buy a brand of candy which is well-known for its peanut-flavoured varieties but he didn't think that was worth bringing his glasses along to read the label, and even after he got home, where his glasses were available, he still didn't read the label, and instead just assumed it was okay for his step-son to eat it. No doubt the real reason he's collecting donations is for the defence of the upcoming negligent homicide case.
