Anyone know when Ripple will open for more members and give them some free XRP?

How about number of views indicating higher traffic and maybe numer of users?

Polish topic in Other section has 115 but 18 000 views while the Hebrew subforum with the same amount of posts has 1/3 of that (and being on the front page it is much more visible so that's very odd).

I would also look at the number of people that download different bitcoin clients and see which countries download more, e.g. http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/stats/map

It's not worth to solo mine without having at least 50-100 GH/s unless you like huge variance in payouts, when there are 0% fee pools and P2P pools. By using a pool you also don't have to rely on your Internet connection if it failed you while solo mining you risk losing the opportunity to solve a block, if you are on a pool, you'll just miss a share.

THIS. The whole "oh some malware got on his USB stick and it autoran on your computer" is sooooo unlikely, that is not how most malware is spread whatsoever, and most people have USB autorun off, I think it's off by default in most modern Windows installs.

Wrong, malware is spread on USB sticks and very often the autorun is turned on on default, this is one of the ways Stuxnet, Flame, Conficker and others spread onto so many computers.

Wonder how many forums are hosted on completely different sites?

I know 2 Polish forums, one has 56 000 posts another 15 000.
And some computer hardware forums have few thousand long posts topics on Bitcoin

Thought this might be interesting. Below, a chart of posts on BitcoinTalk by language. (apologies for the bad quality)

That's actually a chart of posts by language section not by language overall.

Some language topics in the 'Other' section have more posts than some of the 'Local' forums.

For example the Greek topic in the 'Other' section has 170 posts whereas the Hebrew local forum has only 115 posts.

Next time:

don't let others remote into their computers, you never know if their PC wasn't set up to steal from yours or whether it wasn't hacked by someone else
DISABLE autorun for all devices (cd, usb, hdd, etc.) so even if there is a virus on a USB memory (or any other device) it won't be able to start up and wreak havoc

Jest tu ktoś z kopiących kto zmierzył już się z tematem ciepła wydzielanego przez 6 kW? Bo moje 3 koparki robia generują aktualnie coś ok 2,5-3kW i już jest ciężko, a zamierzam dostawić 3 kolejne:)

Jesli jest to pokoj 10-20 m kw., w ktorym spisz czy pracujesz to bez porzadnej wentylacji to nie dokladalbym wiecej. Zwlaszcza jak przyjdzie lato.

So basically I am standing on the edge of uncharted territory here- we could loose everything if BTC collapses but if we win, we have the honour of probably being the first people to auction off a house in BTC, at least here. 

You can always ask the person who is the Escrow to immediately convert the BTC to fiat (let's EUR) for the time of the transaction and back to BTC to the seller once the buyer confirms everything is OK.

seem pretty good but i dont know the area.

im looking for a studio, just enough for a computer desk, bed and small kitchen.

anyone have any idea on something like this?

id love to hang out in spain for a few months. or use this as a base to travel yurp.

greece might be better? what is the cheapest in euroland?

thanks

If by Euroland you mean the part of European Union where the € currency is used then I think Slovakia and Estonia would be one of the cheapest.

If you were also interested in other EU countries but irrespective of currency used, Bulgaria and Romania should be very cheap

I know this is a Bitcoin forum but why not use ask John or Nanotube (he handled a 10000 BTC bet in the past) to escrow the transaction but ask them to exchange the BTC to USD or EUR. Once Goat confirms he received the car and it's working fine, the Escrow will release either convert the funds back to BTC and send it to Moketillos or wire the USD, EUR or whatever currency directly.

Because it will be more of a hassle for the Escrow tip the person who does it at least 2% (or maybe 3% if the money is to be converted again, to BTC).

Just a suggestion, I just want more people to see Bitcoin used for bigger non-speculative transaction  Wink

i would be willing to send john three times the current btc price just in case we get a btc free fall. im doing everything i can to make this work with escrow, but the OP clearly is anti escrow. hmmm


Wow, if that is so I see absolutely no reason decline the offer...

lol.
yes, then you can have an accident and break the car,

obviusly is better to me to do this with escrow, but if you want to test the car to pay me, then come here and test it here, i will not pay 2000euros to ship the car and then you take it to have a funny time  and then say that you dont want it,
in this case i lose time and a lot of money with shipping.
i can send you a video testing it, but if you want to test it personally then come here.

You understand how escrow works? It is to protect BOTH the buyer AND the seller.
You would only ship it if the Escrow (let's say John, who is trusted and escrow thousands of BTC transactions) confirmed that he received the funds from Goat.
If Goat wanted to break the car he could do it but he wouldn't get the BTC back. John would release it to you.

To be 99.999% safe I would post here a picture just hours before shipping the car with the date and some random text posted by someone other than you (also hours before shipping) handwritten on a piece of paper in front of the car so in case Goat happened to crash into a herd of goats totaling the car.

is cheaper that you take a fly to spain, that i ship the car to thailand

fine, but if the car does not work, and you do not get it to me in thailand then you have to pay for the flight.

you will need to but coin in escrow if you want this to happen.

This is also an interesting solution. Coins to the value of a plane ticket to Spain in escrow will not be as huge an amount as the car and you would only lose them if you wanted to scam Goat.

Goat, if he still insist on receiving the funds without you being able to test the car despite providing 2 safe options for him I'd give up on 'negotiating' with Moketillos.

3456  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: WARNING! Bitcoin will soon block small transaction outputs on: May 05, 2013, 09:11:02 PM
It makes no sense for Bitcoin to support transactions worth hundredths of a penny.

If we see another 10x or 100x rise in Bitcoin value (don't say it's impossible when BTC was worth $2 1.5 years ago and $250 few weeks ago), those microBTC will be worth more and more.

may 5th 2013 the day bitcoin is only divisable by 4 and a half zeros

You can't divide by 0.

People starting noticing it and taking up on arbitrage opportunities. Especially BTC-E <-> Mt.Gox.

If he tells them what he was using the card for, the clocks, the temps, the ambient room temp, the psu and what else was hooked to the psu, how he had the card attached to the mobo(risered or not/powered or unpowered) and any other little details and they still offer a replacement then I will take back what I said.

Let's see the warranty info first.

Usually it doesn't say anything about ambient temps and other hardware (except PSU power) and might only mention overclocking or something similar but some manufacturers even offer warranty for overclocking (but usually without hardware modding, BIOS flashing or increasing voltage).

What happened in the picture should never occur to a non-defective product.

edit: you work for some GPU manufacturer or sell GPUs yourself?
