When is anyone going to release a wallet for the most secure platform available (Blackberry)?  I mean damn, it's FIPS certified for secret government information, isn't that good enough? |

What about good Q&A procedures? What about testing stuff before release ("compiles fine on Win7" is NOT testing)? What about establishing a stable status quo BEFORE forcing it on people, like for a month/year?
The devs have been begging for beta testers for a while now. I suggest that you liaise with them to set something up, instead of bashing them without knowing what's up. Perhaps you could join the #bitcoin-dev IRC channel on freenode, and hit up the mailing list, and give them REPRODUCIBLE issues to test and fix. Calm down. |

Sounds to me that this transaction was intentionally created to put MM out of business for a while and to do exactly what it is doing to miners who didn't upgrade.
This. Miners who upgraded have been rewarded with "bonus" compensation split equally by hashing power. Negligent miners are facing financial consequences for their idiocy. I would like to thank who ever released the "killer tx". I agree, and I had thought that valid blocks from upgraded miners were being orphaned by it somewhere along the way, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. |

Solidworks is great for doing stuff like that, I don't know what he's using though.
This is progressing really well though. Looks awesome!
Read up the page just a little bit...: Its the the free Google Sketchup. There's a library of computer component models at http://scc.jezmckean.com/home, which you can import into your own model.  |

Yankee, rjk, and hongus: your orders shipped today.
Hell yes! I was figuring it would be later - maybe I'll have it by the weekend! When I get it, I'll show all you guys what 60 BTC worth of candy looks like! |

I just missed the first wave. Ah well, good idea doing this in two waves  I'll sell you a bunch for 2 btc each, if you want them sooner It's already started! lol Dammit, can't you leave an honest scalper a few hours of peace and quiet to do his job?  Damn son, that isn't scalping, that's chopping off the whole head. |

BFL must really love you to get them to you as quick as they do.
Nah, he just pre-ordered before everyone else. Early adopters win! |

Interesting, can you describe what is broken about it, and why it is continuing to cause issues? I don't understand the broken-ness well enough to explain it, but the smarter-than-me developers in bitcoin-dev said the script is invalid in some subtle way that the current bitcoin versions recognize and reject and that old bitcoin versions don't recognize and think is valid. It's still causing problems because every time a block that contains the transaction is orphaned, the old bitcoin versions see that this transaction still exists in their list of transactions that haven't yet made it in to a block and so they try to put it in a block again (which causes that block to get orphaned by the new bitcoin versions that reject the transaction and so the cycle repeats over and over). Makes me wonder if there needs to be some kind of expiry, so that if a transaction is submitted more than x times and rejected for whatever reason, it should no longer be re-transmitted. |

Well, the behavior in 0.6.0 is different of 0.5.3.
With 0.5.3 (using the same bitcoin.conf) I pay the fees automatically, now, I pay no fees...
How to "restore" the old behavior?!
For those transactions, it is entirely possible that you wouldn't have paid a fee even with the old client. Fees are usually applied when the transaction is over the size limit, but they also may be waived if the coins have been sitting in your wallet for a sufficient period of time. I'd say don't worry about it. |

So the email reveals your way of getting these cheap, and it looks like a legit way of doing it. What I am confused about though, is the staunch refusal at first to say how you obtained the codes - I mean really, how the hell could we break in to that and make you less profitable, just by knowing how it is done? Not all of us run pawnshops. That was my initial turnoff, coupled with the somewhat childish --or at least excitable-- behavior when confronted with the very real possibility that it could be a scam or carded.
Being honest and upfront with everyone would have made the whole thing so much smoother and easier. When you come back next month, be sure to start a new thread instead of reviving this one, and then explain in the new thread that you are able to sell these at a discount because you got them by selling hardware which was purchased at a discount. Don't be so defensive when accused of scamming, and instead offer proof while remaining pleasant.
If you follow the simple tips above, you will enjoy a painless selling experience, and I might even suggest that you could sell just as quickly if you raised your price by a few percent - that is a few percent that goes right back into your pocket.

Seems to me that a decent solution to any class of 51%-ish problems (including evilvladmirinc or evilnsagov) would be to have any interested group publish white or black lists. If a majority of users choose find a particular list credible for some reason, chains with the offending blocks would be rejected by the majority and the blocks would be valueless (no matter what hardware they were generated on.) Under such a scenario, anyone who had the interest could support then network to their hearts content but if they pissed off the natives, they, and their investment, gets voted off the island.
I've mentioned before that having such a solution developed, tested, and in place would be in my opinion a prudent defensive tool and one who's very existence would almost guarantee that it would never need to be used. The complexity (although rather modest compared to the 'supernode cluster architecture' needed for Bitcoin scaling) and increased latency would be a nuisance, but I doubt that it would be much more than that.
The problem is... how do you recognize "evil" blocks? What properties do they have that make them unique from other blocks? |

how do they work as far as mining goes?
Work for me, a little finicky though. I have one running stable, but it took some tweaking to get it there. You should use a powered riser, since PCI only supplies 25 watts and PCIe up to 75. |

What I am actually interested in trying to find would be the block chains showing where the money went once it was in Andrews hands. We know for a fact it was sent to him. We know some was sent back to the original investors. But if we can show the majority was withdrawn directly by him, or used by him online for misc purchases un-related to his op, we have a case where a legal money judgement can be obtained along with wage orders, in case he continues to give promises with no results.
Well, if you had read the thread, you'd see where people listed the addresses they sent to and the address to which they received or were supposed to have received. Not all of it was done via btc however, some was via Paypal. Has your lawyer researched the dispute resolution clauses in Paypal's terms of service? What about interstate debts? I think you're going to find that including the bitcoin piece of this in your legal case is going to drastically complicate things. Its already been established that payb.tc is owed the largest sum and at the moment he doesn't seem interested to go along with your stuff. Which is why I did state earlier we are doing a lot of research before we do anything. I know that Paypal and interstate transfer are included. What we don't understand is how to link btc chains work and how to link them. Sounds like you have a lot of research ahead of you. Unfortunately, it is extremely complicated. To get you started: There is only one blockchain, and it contains a single ledger of all transactions. You can explore it here: http://blockchain.info/ or here: http://blockexplorer.com/ |

Do I see some gold, or is it a bad picture?

You didn't notice the little QR code thingy...? What a lot of work to reverse engineer the address from the date and the amount.  lulz hahahahaha well everyone cant be leet hax0rs like you RJK  What kind of leet hax0rs are you guys, if you can't spot an obfuscated QR code with the naked eye? "lulz" indeed   I don't have any way to scan it, but remember that QR codes have an ECC error correcting algorithm built in. It may still be possible to read the code even if it has been edited slightly. |
