In their defende I must say that they only host binaries there because Sourceforge.net blocks the download of any software that uses cryptography to countries which have sanctions from the USA and they only started hosting the binaries because of a thread I started here on the forum complainting about that. I'm sorry you think that some people shouldn't be allowed to download Bitcoin just because the US doesn't want them. I agree that they should at least keep them updated

How can we advertise bitcoin as decentralized if one company has a monopoly manufacturing mining HW.
I didn't see you complaint about ATI...

You're just butthurt because your wife already gets mad at you for spending money on GPU's, imagine what she will do when all the GPU's you bought become useless.
LOL...you don't know me or my situation. I post shit like that as an excuse. It's fun to joke about stuff like that. If it were true, would I really post it in public ?looking for sympathy ? or to show who really wore the pants in my family....lmao. Come one. She's never cried about the $50k that I have invested in my Skyline GT-R project, the $20k+ that I have in Car audio laying around the house, that I have not even used yet....or any other toys that I buy on a whim. Why bitcoin ? it actually MAKES money.....LOL Ok, you're just butthurt because you'll stop making money, not because of your wife. Got it.

Bitlane, why are you pretending that you want to protect gigavps?
What's the reason to be sorry for him, may I ask? If he goes bankrupt, which I really doubt, because he "sold" all his stuff for 2x the current BFL price, nobody else but himself put him in that position. Only his bond holders will get fucked. Gigavps already pocket his investment + profit. Get over it.
You're just butthurt because your wife already gets mad at you for spending money on GPU's, imagine what she will do when all the GPU's you bought become useless. Again, just like gigavps, it was you and you only who put yourself in that position, not BFL. I don't see BFL forcing anyone to buy their products. People do it on their own will. If someone struggled to buy a minirig for $15k, then they shouldn't have bought it in the first place.
The game changes all the time. You adapt or you die. It's as simple as that. Be it in Bitcoin mining or anything else.

They only accept registration from poland on that site. I really doubt they mail it to other countries, even if you fake an address for the registration. And if the bank mails it to your house, it's not very anonymous anymore, is it? lol

I just sent 10 Bitcoins to my pyramining adress......they doesn´t appear on my deposit account..... so it is a scam?
If you JUST sent, how about waiting for them to confirm a couple times?

Purchased with fiat currency in some developing country only to be resold with huge margins for bitcoins, nice!
Believe it or not there are even guys who buy carded stuff(GC's for instance), paid with fiat currency stolen by criminals, and later resell them for bitcoins, nice! I suppose you know nothing about that...

- Inexpensive children's clothes
You might be into something there Haha. It's completely opposite from the typical bachelor-nerd demographic of Bitcoin users, but it is something I need to buy from time to time. You and everyone with kids. I have one boy and I know exactly what you mean.

For those suggesting never using an exchange, how would you extract the btc to your currency? Do you just collect the btc?
Have you ever thought about spending them, you know, buying stuff?

I like your optimism, but decentralization of bitcoin is getting a huge blow with this trend.
Hmmm... perhaps I know something that you don't. Perhaps you know that people who aren't miners still want their coffee warm Question of the day: Is 2 watts enough to keep a coffee piping hot? It's to keep it warm, not to boil it. duh!

I wouldn't be surprised if this was a zombie node reporting blocks for the entire botnet.
Seems like the most plausible explanation.
Look at the addresses... Mining happily since April 8. 15K Bitcoins :/ And yeah, it makes sense. The IP just showed up today lol

OK. Easy way, or not. First check if you have curl installed. Open a Terminal and type curl and see if it gives you a positive answer. If you don't have the curl libraries maybe it's best to continue with pywallet If you have curl, maybe you want to try this, instead of installing more stuff. Even if you don't have curl and won't use it, maybe it will be useful to someone else Open your bitcoin.conf file and put this inside rpcuser=<username> rpcpassword=<password> server=1 replace <username> and <password> with a username and password of your choice, ofcourse. Start Bitcoin-qt in the normal way and it will start as a server. Open a Terminal and type curl --user <username> --data-binary '{"method": "dumpprivkey", "params": ["<address>"] }' http://127.0.0.1:8332/ replace <username> with the username you set on the bitcoin.conf file and <address> with the address for which you want to get the private key Press enter. It will prompt you for the password you set on the bitcoin.conf file. Write it and press enter. Voilá, it will answer with the private key for the address. Repeat the Terminal steps for each address.

If you run it in server mode, I don't think you can pass it commands directly without the curl scheme or json-rpc calls ...I've yet to fire up my mac though so I could be wrong.
You can in Linux and Windows for sure. No Curl or json-rpc needed. On Mac... Found the answer http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/2570/bitcoin-qt-command-line-control-on-mac You really need to pass rpc commands with curl, like you said. Time for you to install all the pywallet dependencies, hoonius. Can't find any rpc command or at least an example of it for dumpprivkey.

and no bitcoind for OSX as far as i can see. Where would it normally exist in linux?
There is no bitcoind binary. You must start bitcoin-qt from the command line with the server flag, as John exemplified here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=88477.msg974150#msg974150. Leave that terminal open and open a new Terminal window. From the new terminal window you can pass it bitcoind commands as if bitcoind was running. To dump a private key the syntax is (at least on linux, not sure if in Mac any other gimmick is needed) bitcoind dumpprivkey <address> replace <address> with the address for which you want to get the private key
