It's too complicated. Why have 4 numbers? One number should suffice - net rating.

My goodness things are complicated enough without you guys going off on an tangent about bitcoins vs. fiat as a metric.

@OP: The only thing I'd like to say is that non of the companies here are actual companies nor do they publish financial statements. Essentially you are relying on the honesty of a few people and the security of sites like btct.co. So it's not investing. It is speculation.

Buy your own bitcoin related domain for like $10 per year. Add gmail for $5 per month. Plenty of bitcoin related domains still available.

Some time back you said you were just behind btc-e:


So quite a fall in your business then?

256MB is not nearly enough. I ran it on a VPS with 768MB ram and from time to time it would run out of memory and kill bitcoind. You might want to install monit too to restart it automatically should it get killed.

Of course it absolutely needs Linux. This very forum for instance is powered by a Linux based web server. Linux dominates servers that power the Internet.

Maybe the OP mentioned his address and nationality on a public forum. Or maybe the just did a geoip lookup on the node that relayed his transaction.

They don't allow Americans. Maybe they detected you are an American and sent back your money?

Sales on live chat says no to minecraft on VPS.

Ok will do and get back to you.

I don't know. How do I tell?

Weren't there any brown or black people there?

I have a VPS with baltic servers in Lithuania that I no longer need. It is paid for until October 28 2013.

Basic Specs:

OpenVZ 768MB RAM + 256MB vSwap
20GB HDD
100Mbps bandwidth (unmetered)
1/2 a core of Intel Xeon CPU X3470 ( 1/2 of 2.93GHz )

Benchmarks: http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2013/05/11/8OW4qibxDwTONknK

You can takeover this VPS for just BTC 0.04. I can also take Skrill in which case it will cost you USD 4.

Renewal cost is Euro 35.97 per 6 months after Oct 28th.

Please PM me if you want it.

Go to a gaming forum and you'll see people bragging about their computers or the games they play. Go to a hosting forum and you'll see people linking to their hosting sites. This is a bitcoin forum so you see bitcoin addresses. Seems normal to me.

But yeah I don't think anyone gets any coins for posting here.

The problem with bitcoin is that I can't predict the future!

One problem with selling for bitcoins is that transaction confirmation takes too long. I suppose users could be emailed the link to download after confirmation. But there are problems with that approach as well. For instance what do you do if the email ends up in the spam folder and the user doesn't see it? Email tends to be unreliable.

He's basically saying that the rich will get richer and that Nakamoto didn't want this. Well I don't know what Nakamoto did or didn't want but the rich always get richer. Life isn't fair etc.
