Mine at p2pool, you won't lose your btc because you mine them on your address
3483  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Suspect #1: Linode admins/insiders on: March 02, 2012, 01:29:19 PM
I wonder why everybody assumes the hacker is outside Linode.

Isn't the most likely person to know of such security issues someone within the company? I didn't even know Bitcoinica was hosted there. Also, it reeks of sloppy admin password policy:

Quote
compromised credentials used by this intruder (quote directly from Linode!)

IMO, Linode is responsible, either by using the typical ridiculous internal security, or directly (admin, higher-up person, etc.). Anyone serious about their reputation would pay back what they likely took.

Also, their press release is a joke. "Only eight accounts were compromised," no mention that it happened to be exactly the accounts the thief needed.
It's the first thing i tought that morning when i read about all these hackings.

Someone noticed UNENCRYPTED wallet.dat, happily copy-pasted the privaye key and ta-dah, moved the BTC

And yup, it's probably one employer and not the whole company, of course the company is getting hurt by this, once more customers lose trust over cloud/VPS/thing-you-have-to-trust things

Funny thing, i tought about that months ago when i backuped my wallet.dat on varios email/skydrive etc services, and that's why i encrypted the file before uploading it.

And since BTC leave no traces, since there is no way to know who moved the btc... well, good luck for everything.

Of course Linode should repay the losses, after all they confirmed that something weird happened

Interesting

Encrypt wallet.dat with Truecrypt, put a GOOD password and backup it in various hard disk/usb things and put it also online, like email or cloud storage services. <-make sure the password is a good one.

because these currencies are illegal in many countries.

Once more, just FUD

Nothing sure, just "in many countries", wich mean nothing. What countries? Syria? Lybia when there was gheddafi?

but had backed off over concerns it would violate US law.
Of course we must trust you on that because ehi he would never lie uh? I wonder wich US LAW is being violated. Oh, no one?
3489  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Network latency, stale shares, and p2pool on: February 28, 2012, 09:31:38 PM
Note that on p2pool stale shares are still valid for finding a block.

If i mine with 1GH/s and i have a 10% stale rate, one think that "mmhh i'm wasting 0.1ghash/s, better i switch to another pool"

But it's not true
3490  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How many blocks discovered? on: February 28, 2012, 08:49:24 PM
You can check how many blocks there are hre http://bitcoinwatch.com/
And there are a lot of other interesting info too  Cheesy

As for the pool, i suggest p2pool too. P2p, decentralized, no one that can scam you and almost 300GH/s

Just move to p2p, problem solved  Tongue

As far as i know in USA you can happily go in a shop and buy more or less whatever weapon you want.

So what is the problem with that website?
3494  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you have ZERO Bitcoins? Why? on: February 27, 2012, 04:10:48 PM
Giving free bitcoins is not the way to do. Why? Cause they will think "meh you gave me bitcoin for free, so they are worth nothing, that's why you give them to ppl for free"

ptshamrock you made an image with a lot of white space, why? Just screenshot what you want, open paint, cut it, copy in a new file but before happily shrink the "white" space of paint. And paste what you want...
3498  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you have ZERO Bitcoins? Why? on: February 27, 2012, 02:40:28 PM
Buying a few is a battle against taxes, fees etc. Move 10$ to mtgox... mmhh... i end up spending what, 50$?

Another user that isn't very good with computers but think he can do miracles... if i said that 3000 series has no openCL, maybe it's true  Cheesy

I'm using GUIminer and have been CPU mining but I didn't know I could have much better output with GPU mining, so how do I make the switch to GPU I know I have an AMD radeon HD3550M and that it accepts openGL and GUIminer uses openCL it's all quite confusing, can anyone tell me what I'm doing and give some links? I'm a fast learner so as long as the info is good and basic I'll be able to figure it out.
OpenGL is for graphic and is not OpenCL

ATI 3000 serie do NOT support OpenCL. Only from series 4000 and newer support OpenCL.

So, you can't gpu mine on your HD3550M.
