I think Coinlab has a novel concept but if I'm not mistaken, they are giving the "money" generated back to whichever company they are working for and not to the individuals computer it was generated from. (Minus their cut off course.) The rigs operator will receive something virtual, based on whatever game is signed up with Coinlab and which the user is involved in.

That's their game monetization service, exclusively offered to the players of the games whose makers have partnered with CoinLab.

This is a different offering.  This is a pool.  Currently, you use whatever miner software you want.  But in a few weeks they plan to release a client that performs a variety of work, whether that be bitcoin mining or solving computational problems.  Those mining through CoinLab now are building up loyalty points that will let them continue to crunch at a guaranteed rate which will come in handy when the block reward drops, in under 50 days:

it is not my mistake

Eclipse pool did not include a fee i did not tell them not to include it.

There is a solution to this likely coming in a future release of the bitcoin.org client.     This helps when you then create a spend transaction for the funds that are received but not yet confirmed.  This feature then, used by a mining pool or solo miner, essentially considers those fees in that transaction and realizes that it can't get them without including the prior (unconfirmed) transaction as well and thus will include both transactions in the block.

But you still haven't shared one pivotal detail.  Do you see your transaction in Blockchain.info?   If so, it is likely just a matter of waiting a little while longer.

Do they have web access?

Instawallet.org works well (mobile-enabled web site), especially after their redesign.

I don't see a way to view the order book without being logged in.    I generally don't login unless I'm about to trade.  Can this be made visible to guest/unauthenticated access somehow?

Specifically http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/bitmeUSD_depth.html

Heh, I thought the chart was broken.  Since no ask orders except for one at $1,000 the chart picks a happy medium at about $505-ish, which, of course, has no bids or asks visible.

Cupcakes sound so cute and innocent; they are the antitheses of the 'naughty' stuff Bitcoin haters seem to have top of mind when I talk to them.

Exactly!  And the cupcake shop, being the first cupcake shop in San Fran to accept bitcoins, got your business instead of some other cupcake shop.  The same type of business Meze grill in Brooklyn enjoys, Room 77 in Berlin, Whiskey Dicks in Orlando, and New Mexico Tea Company in Albuquerque all enjoy.

Out of curiosity, was this online (for delivery) or in-person?   If in-person, how did they do the transaction?  (e.g., on their mobile?  tablet?  or ?)

So, why are nVidia GPUs such shit miners compared to ATI/AMD GPUs?

There must be some fundamental difference to account for such a huge difference in mining performance, for devices that essentially perform the same function (graphics rendering)....


Now don't chuck your NVidias though.  Through CoinLab you'll be able to put them to work doing GPGPU computation:

- NVIDIA cards will simply earn based off how many work units they solve.  If an NVIDIA card is 3X more efficient at solving a given HPC problem, they will earn 3x as much Bitcoin for doing that work. (And often NVIDIA cards are 3x faster than a comparable AMD at HPC tasks).

What are the most used sites where one can do person 2 person exchange between currencies like btc, LR, paypal and others? (with feedback and stuff)


https://www.bitcoinary.com/
http://www.exchangezone.com/welcome.html

others?

BitMarket.eu is one.

For PayPal, ... you won't find much.  Maybe #bitcoin-otc if you have a decent trust history:

 - http://www.Bitcoin-otc.com
 - http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#bitcoin-otc-foyer

Cash seems to work pretty well.  If you have coins to sell, you can list yourself.  Or if you are looking to buy, post a bid.

The client I am using is bit coin wallet.
I was unable to find my transaction on block chain.info.

Bitcoin Wallet by Andreas Schildbach, for Android,
 - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.schildbach.wallet&hl=en

That doesn't use the same wallet format as the Bitcoin.org client, and accessing the keys requires rooting the phone.

A client should be noticing that a transaction hasn't been included in a block and re-broadcast it.    If the entire transaction is a tiny amount, (all inputs are satoshi sized) it may not get included ever if no peers accept it because they will then not relay it either.

You can try adding a node that will relay the transaction:
 - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Free_transaction_relay_policy

as Andreas suggests here:
 - http://code.google.com/p/bitcoin-wallet/issues/detail?id=100#c8

As soon as that transaction appears in Blockchain.info, then it is only a matter of waiting.  But until it reaches Blockchain.info even, no miners likely even know your transaction exists.

Also was suggesting resetting the blockchain on the device (not sure how that is done), which will lose the pending transaction.  That will let you add a fee so that the transactions will at least get confirmed.

I have plenty of live websites.  I've never been targeted this quickly.

Any IP that responds to port 8333 becomes a target.

attempts to salvage public/private  keys and master encryption keys (if the wallet is encrypted) into a new wallet.dat.

Better detection and handling of corrupt wallet.dat and blkindex.dat files.   Previous versions would crash with a DB_RUNRECOVERY exception, this version detects most problems and tells you how to recover if it cannot recover itself.

Awesome, this will come in handy!

I wanted to demonstrate bit coin to a friend and sent 0.00000001 bit coins to him with no transaction fee, two days ago.
[...]
Unsurprisingly the transaction has not been included in a block.

SatoshiDICE does this transaction hundreds of times each day. When paying a fee of 0.0005 BTC (worth less than a penny), the transaction will eventually (hours at most) be included in a block

Does your transaction appear on Blockchain.info ?
 - http://www.Blockchain.info


However, the balance of bit coins in my  android basedwallet are now unavailable to spend.

Which client?   The options available differ depending on which service you are using.
3656  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Finding unspent transaction outputs on: October 11, 2012, 04:52:21 PM
the API just doesn't provide an easy way to get at it.

Nice.  This is an example of using raw transactions.

and won't tell me anything about transactions I'm not involved in.
Run bitcoin from get.  Use getrawtransaction with the decode flag.

Incidentally, raw transactions was just added with version 0.7 of the Bitcoin.org client, so that is a dependency.

The main reason for me getting into mining is to try and make a small profit from my unused hardware now that I'm not paying for electricity in my new duplex.

Those cards might do maybe, combined, 0.85 Ghash/s.  If you plugged them in today and difficulty were to stay the same, you'ld get about 14 bitcoins between now and "halving day" (occurs at block 210,000 -- less than 50 days away).   That's worth about $150 (using today's exchange rate).   The electricity consumed to get that is probably close to $100 worth, if you were to pay anywhere near normal residential rates (e.g., $0.12 per kWh).  You'll probably be putting in more than ten hours of work for this though.

After halving day, assuming difficulty stays the same (it won't once ASICs ship) and the exchange rate stays the same (it likely won't, but nobody knows which direction), that set of hardware will earn about $45 per month.

If you were paying directly for the electricity, that would burn about $60 worth of electricity.

And that is why people are not recommending you start mining with GPUs today, because it will be cheaper to get bitcoins by powering down your GPUs and using the money you would pay to the electric company to instead buy BTCs with cash at 7-11.   In your case, your landlord is subsidizing your hobby and you get to keep the $45 worth of bitcoins.
