mmitech -
you should consider the approach i suggested last month.
make a POT of bitcoin donations and an organization that MEETS a certain criteria (doesn't have to be specifically UNISEF) who wants it will have access to it. that way when the pot grows BIG ENOUGH people will be all to eager to take it. (with stipulations like not being able to convert to fiat for 6 months or something)


making a charity will take a hell of a time to build a reputation, than you really need to have the knowledge where and how to help people, when I suggested UNICEF it wasn't a coincidence, UNICEF has been doing this for long time and they earned respect and legitimacy. this is why we need them and exactly them, or maybe an organisation as big as them.


think for the long term, this would be a great thing for people there in Africa, your 1 BTC could feed a family for 3 months at this price,r 0.01 BTC could feed a family for a day or two.

only the attempt to do that is something, and even if we wont succeed will  this bring us widely to media in a positive way, if they will accept it is even better.

Op why don't you contact Bruno (Phinnaeus Gage) at Bitcoin100 and donate your 2 btc?

you are really missing the point here , I can donate my 2 BTC right now, but we want to do it massive for a good cause to bring the media attention. it is a win-win case, my 2 BTC wont change the silk road picture and money laundry and.... that people have about BTC

people everywhere are more than willing to accept a currency if it will help their pocketbook or their cause. the real problem is not spending or accepting, it's getting it in the first place. people will only use bitcoin if its less than 3 clicks away. that's where things like bitcoin atm 's come into play.

Got me thinking: What if 1% of every Bitcoin purchased through an ATM would be automatically donated to UNICEF, and if this would be clearly stated on every Bitcoin ATM?


That would NOT increase the cost of Bitcoins by much
That would associate good cause with Bitcoin (which is needed to compensate for / decommission the association with drugs and illegal causes)
That would give the media more positive stories to write about
That would strengthen the public support for Bitcoins ATMs and therefore make them more difficult for regulators to ban
That would help a good cause ALLOT eventually

Opinions?

there you go, we need people to think this way, this is another option as well

I already contacted UNICEF on behalf of Bitcoin100 and they didn't want to accept btc even with no exchange fee or processing difficulties.

you maybe did as individual, but we will do it as a group of people, they will have to accept it, just think about it , if we go massively they wont be able to refuse, such a big organisation will lose trust if it gets a decent amount of donation and refuses.

I know that there is some individuals who did try before, but if we go all at once they will have to accept it, otherwise we will bring the media attention to that either ways.

I really have a good felling about this, and I know that allot of people out there would like to help, I am just asking you to give your word here and we will manage somehow to get to them.

Why you made this thread and then did not provide any of Unicef's contact info is beyond me. But here you go:

http://www.unicef.org/about/contact_contactusform.php

thank you, we have to gather up here as many as as we can, it is not a one day project, if there is allot of us willing to seriously contribute than we will contact them. we cannot contact for 2 or 3 users, we have to bring the media attention .
3446  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I just have the best idea to help people and make BTC even bigger on: May 06, 2013, 03:32:13 PM
Why would they bother do that?
If people wanna donate, they can give usd, euros or whatsoever.

Btc will never help to buy any supply / workers to be there / and so on. That will just be a pain in the ass for them.

as long as it is free it wont be any problem for them, and yes people will massively donate coins even if it is 0.001 it is something for them , this will bring us widly to media=> more attention => more people will know about BTC => bring attentions to investors => new adopters => more value to BTC.


you just missed the point 
3447  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / I just have the best idea to help people and make BTC even bigger on: May 06, 2013, 02:18:59 PM
As we all know that BTC is all around the media lately and most people doesn't know what exactly is BTC,  considering that it is hard to explain to them how it does work, most people will attempt to ask why is it so valuable, which will lead to the first answer  Silk Road and drugs and stuff....

-it was hard for me to explain to people around me what is BTC and even harder to convince them that the coins are not just used to purchase drugs and/or any illegal service or goods, and it is being used widely all around the world and each day it is gaining new users. in one word mainstream .

-We all know that there is allot of people who needs help all around the world mostly in Africa ( I have been there I know how it is)  and I am 100% sure that allot of us once saw a documentary or a post or picture or a film .....  and we all had that moment that you thought if I could help in some way .

- UNICEF is the biggest Organisation involved in Africa. they mainly operate with the money that people donate, not only in Africa but all around the world,  I am sure that allot of you out there once thought how can I help, and you really did want to help somehow, but between you lost the will because it just seemed allot of work or maybe you just didn’t have time or you didn’t know how to.


So if somehow we can convince UNICEF to take donations in BTC and make it viral, allot of people will donate money to help kids out there in Africa by just clicking one button,BTC will go so viral, and with this we will prove to the world once again that BTC is so big and the users of BTC are legitimate and this will just Add a big + to our community.

I do not  disclaim that BTC will be never used for illegal matters, but we all know that through all times people used all kind of currency’s to do this stuff, BTC is not changing that, BTC is changing the meaning of a currency.




   I would like to ask from moderators to stick this post on all forum sessions, just for the sake of people out there waiting for help and for the sake of new push for BTC

                                                                                            If this will work I am donating 2 BTC 

3448  Economy / Speculation / Re: 3 days = 40$ increase and china has not even begun to buy. on: May 06, 2013, 11:05:57 AM
China wont buy , they will just mine the shit out of it, and they will massively dump it for very small profit, do not forget that a major part of Chinese people gets only 150-200 $ salary pay for the hole month full time job . so 1 BTC is allot considering that, they will be just happy if they can mine it and profit only 10-20 $ a month of one BTC.


   

I don't think so. It's very difficult to get into mining today, GPU's are on their last legs, ASIC's are hard to find, and if ASIC's ever becomes readily available, profits from using them will be minimal as the difficulty adjust rapidly.

Like you said, the salary per month for the average Chinese is quite low. If they don't have money to throw away, how are they going to buy the mining gear?

Those who have money to spare (not necessarily tech savvy people) will just buy up some BTC's and play around with them instead of dealing with mining at all. You might have some large hands putting down a lot of money to buy some mining power but relatively few people be in the mining game nonetheless.

yes I do agree with you at some point, but do not forget that everything you are using now is made in china , if I pay 30 € for my keyboard that I am using it to reply to you, this doesn't mean it is worth that money, in china you can make it for 2 €, it will be funny if I say may be even less than 2 €.

you average HP or Apple or Dell device did cost the same as today 10 years ago when it was made in Europe or USA,   the point that China is developing so fast they are making kick ass products, they even started replicating any product in market and sell it for 1/4 of the price.

Avalon was made there when BFL the US company was struggling to have a working design. the point is that I do expect a larger choice of ASICs with different quality and prices .


yes it will be always hard for a Chinese to buy an ASIC, but somehow I have the feeling that instead of buying some BTCs and hold to them. they will just start developing something that will pay even better in long term .

and you really care about BTC price over peoples Blood!!!! what people have become to, I am so offended and disappointed right now that I can not even describe the feeling.


so you  hope that this will help BTC price to go up, if yes than i think you wish that the world will burn to have your moment and your little profit over human lives, if you think the price will go down because if it so you will sell your BTC to not make any loses, this is all what you care about right !!



forget about BTC price and look at it as a serious issue , I just wish that the killing will stop already, I was watching what is happening in Syria and what was happening in Lybia and Tunisia and between Israel and Palestine. I just can't follow any more it is sad that this just continue with all the world watching and no one cares.

Hi

For some reason my forth card in cgminer is always slower than rest of the punch ? 3 x 7950 mine at 620-630khash and the forth one is always at 580-590khash. Same problem on  all of my 3 rigs and does not seem to be card specific as I have tried to swap them around and the result is still the same. Thought of trying to run  a separate instance of cgminer for the fourth card but cant get --device|-d option to work in the scrypt . Cgminer 2.11 just starts up still running all four cards and cgminer 3.10 says "--device" is a unknown command and closes right away.
Can someone please point out what am I doing wrong ?


either you have your screen plugged to that card or you just have to raise the power limit to +15%

Raising the powerlimit does not help. The slow card is never the one connected to the monitor  Undecided

Can anyone see  whats wrong in the srypt ?
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum.give-me-ltc.com:3333 -u user -p x -o pooledbits.com -u user1 -p x
 --device|-d 0 --gpu-engine 1085 --gpu-memclock 1600 --gpu-powertune 20 --gpu-vddc 1.125 --worksize 256 -g1 -I 20 --lookup-gap 2 --shaders 1792 --thread-concurrency 21712  


I want to run just one card out of four but the device -d 0 option doesnt seem to work..

you either type --device 0 or instead -d 0 , you cant just write --device -d this wont work

I'll take 75 BTC for it, nothing less.

did you really say 75 BTC, I would say that you could sell it for 10 BTC for some dumb new member but 75 BTC!!!, ASICminer blades hash @ 13GH/s and they are shipping few days after you pay them, and people got them for less than 60 BTC.

your stuff is worth exactly the best bid that anyone is willing to pay, if you think that it is undervalued than you just keep it , this is how market works .

If anyone can help http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjKlFXwrx44

do you have the latest ATI drivers 13.4 ? if yes, than I think the driver is causing this problem, I had a similar problem yesterday and even when I deleted the drivers and went back to 12.8 cgminer did start but didn't post anything .

I was struggling for hours, than a fresh windows install with only catalyst 12.8 (do not install the chipset drivers if your chipset is AMD as well) solved the problem, another member contacted me about the same problem I told him to do the same, he didn't reply , so I assume that this worked for him as well .


- try it and post here if this helped you so other members will know about it.

mine anything even if it is a dickcoin as long as some idiot is willing to threw his money on it . pump and dump



after all I have no idea what am I doing here, I saw a new coin every few months than every weeks now it is every day, and we will soon see many every day .


it is copy paste , Bitcoiners hated LTC now I am hating everything

It would be so easy to set some kind of limit against this...

But it's not the only reason price is dropping atm.
Bank holiday in Japan -> no fresh money arriving
Some bad news e.g. about lawsuit against Gox

and this may give us an idea about the Ddos attacks were going on lately, if you know what I mean.


it is a dirty game. just sit and watch how it will end up .

I can't believe what is happening !!! people is buying this shit , you know the funny thing that this coin got 1 FTC= 1 BTC as hight today just when BTC-e add it .


I am not trying to disrespect anyone here , but are people this stupid !!!! it really makes me think about the hole thing here.  if it is going to be like this I will point some of my rigs to some feathercoin pool mine the shit out of it and sell it to these idiots for some profit as long as they are willing to pay . I do not care for the fucking coin. let me make some decent profit. pump it and dump it .


and  I am so surprised LTC network went from 14,500,000 kh/s to 10,847,767 kh/s .

lol you don't understand how a free market works.

I guess it's similar to people who don't understand how a painting is valued at $20,000,000. It is called supply and demand, perceived value etc.

no I do understand how free market works, I just do not understand why someone paid 1 BTC to buy 1 FTC, was he so happy that he just threw that BTC, well I wish if I've got that BTC, if some idiots are willing to pay that much for some shitty coin well ok than pump the shit out of it and let the later adopters lose all their money .
