Diff is at 2791 now... indicating somewhere between your 10% and 15%.... try 13%, I think I read that somewhere as the "official" number. Yup, the only thing broken in diff adjustment is its design. But otherwise it "works" as intended. |

How is that a positive? It essentially means any wealth (store of value) holders of SC 1.0 had has been wiped out by rampant monetary expansion. I was being sarcastic.  That's why I added I was waiting for Litecoin. |

Does your math account for the "compensation million" ? The worst part is, this BTC forum is the first (and only) place where I've heard about premining in SC 2.0. AFAIK no visible communication has been made about this on the SC forums...... The only positive thing is that I mined in SC 2 in 6 hours on crappy hadware about half as much as I mined in SC 1 in 2 weeks on better hardware. Can't wait to try Litecoin... |

You can change your pick. It doesn't seem so... or the "change your vote" button is damn well hidden  |

|

both to be honest.... The lesson is simple: stick to Bitcoin and trust no fork until they are a least a bit adopted/established... So for the moment just trust no fork.  |

No, in such cases you usually eliminate the last option, then you do the poll again and repeat until you have a winner  That was my first suggestion |

I hope we get a second round to choose between the 2 most voted options. It'd be sad to end up launching at 3am just because GMT voters got spread over 3 day times.
If there's a close tie between the last 2 options. Would it make sense to launch halfway between them? Not as much as averaging over the 4 options (weighted by number of votes). The thing is, probably most of those who voted 9am or 3pm would have picked 9am if the only option were 3am vs 9pm. |

So it took ~300 blocks for average block time to increase 0.3% from 2.76950005s to 2.778510996s At that rate it would take roughly 385,000 blocks to reach proper block time (3 minutes). That would also mean 10 million solidcoins will flood the market in the next 9 days.  Wonder how long BCE can keep it up? Is anyone naive enough to think a 0.3% block time increase over 300 blocks is normal.... when actual block time is 1/100th of where it should be? Difficulty has increased by a factor of 130x and block times are still sub 3 seconds. There isn't a max # of solidcoins are there? Because if there were only 21 million every single coin would be mined in less than a month! There's no max # of coins. Block discovery speed seems pretty messed up indeed, makes all previously mined coins kind of worthless imo. It's a restart that doesn't tell its name. Apparently SC took care to protect the network against "pump and dump", but not against "dump and pump" or "pump pump pump" like we see now. It seems that I can't even catch up with the chain... no chance to mine a valid thing in these conditions... anyone know who bcx really is. Who cares? I'm pragmatic, all I see is that SC2 is a mess at the moment, and that it's because the difficulty isn't being adjusted properly. |

Only the priviledge in the order of SolidCoin get to see the source code little one ! Joking. It will be released. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. I am also stuck on block 8484 w/ 100 diff. Happened to me too (got stuck somewhere in the chain), just restart your client and it should catch up. Block 9764 now, but I'm still getting like one every other second... That seems pretty messed up, although SC/CH is not communicating on the subject. As for my hashrate, about 5kh/s on a laptop quad core. Not really exciting. I still found quite a few shares (pool) / blocks (solo), but none of them were valid, new blocks are coming too fast...  |

Btw, where can i find a calculator to show how long till i have 25%, 50% and 100% chance of having found a block (or somthing like that)? 1 difficulty in the real world (and here also) represents 2^32 hashes. multiply 2^32 by the difficulty and that gives you an average expected number of hashes per share. It would be nice to have a place where we can check the current difficulty. |

We need a MAJOR Porn distributor (Vivid, etc) to start accepting bitcoins. That will do the trick. Lol, most likely indeed... Come get sum! |

It's really just a matter of time. Mainstream acceptance is not "just a matter of time". I think freemoney458 raised lots of valid points, most notably the lack of simplicity. At the moment, I see no reason for the average user to choose BTC over, say PayPal. Getting BTCs is a hassle-full process, where every middleman takes their small percentage. In the end doing a transaction in BTC costs more both in term of money and time. Only miners, gamblers/daytraders and drug dealers can find the system interesting ATM... |

Im guessing you must also provide your identification to obtain such cards,
with my service no such requirements are needed to obtain any preloaded card up to 2k in balance. I don't think there are many people for which some extra anonymity is worth such a premium. I sure like anonymous transactions to some extent, but I don't value this an extra 7.5%. It's not as if I was buying guns or drugs... |

what worse could happen is bitcoin price crashes and you are left with some oversized heaters...
No worry, winter's coming. |

With the huge demand for the 58xx series with regards to it's number crunching skills, do you think that they will come back into production? The only reason why there's a "huge" demand is because they totally underpriced compared to the 6xxx, and they are underpriced precisely because AMD's getting rid of them, not because they're actually cheaper to produce. AFAIK they'll start soon (or maybe they already started, I don't follow this too closely) the production of their next GPUs, so of course they're not restarting the production of 5xxxs. FYI the 6xxx series crunches just as well, it's just that you need to compare what's comparable: the 6870 isn't the successor of the 5870, the 6970 is. |

Why hide on here ?
Is there a reason, other than paranoia, to hide ? Assuming, of course, you are not doing anything illegal. I'd even say: assuming you are not doing something illegal on the BBS. But what could this be then? ... Oh, I see, the OP is trying to find out who's trying to hack the BBS |

Who are you?
Who asked you to promote one "trusted" escrow? and why?
The link won't even load. Looks more like this kind of escroc |

Making your purchase dependent on a future difficulty drop is a very bad idea.
Yes, I don't see the difficulty drop as much any time soon unless in case of a BTC crash. All the more so since we have people like you who explain how profitable the current difficulty still is Just my 0.02 BTC |

When browsing the forums, are folks concerned about their IP and info being on here, and are therefore utilizing software such as TOR/VPNs/etc to hide themselves. Your first question was clear enough IMO I don't see the point in hiding when browsing this BBS. Bitcoin is legal, my wallet isn't threatened by the fact that my IP is here, I'm not using the same credentials here as in any mining pool... Why hide more than by choosing an un-googleable nickname? |
