I always download the .zip (it's so easy, just extract in a folder and that's it, bitcoin "installed"), never tried the .exe but it should be the same.

What am i doing wrong?
Nothing. |

mh... when i install a OS i expect to install only it and maybe some software to see photo/video, listen to audio and browse internet, nothing more...

As long as you backup your wallet, it's fine. Bitcoin is not so clever or self-conscious  , just close bitcoin, backup wallet.dat, install new client (optional: uninstall old one, aka delete it where you extracted it), run new client. New client will find the blockchain and wallet in the roaming/bitcoin folder and happily run without problems |

Well bitcoin doesn't depend on reddit...

This thread is so fail, where is the "proposal"? No, saying "let's make something different" is not a proposal
|
|
|
|

This is ridicolous
And this is EXACTLY why Bitcoin exist. Someone (more expert than me) should contact them and help them start to accept bitcoin

Makes no sense. If you stop mining bitcoin you can still use the hardware for scientific computing. And the expense will be the SAME than with the room heater. With the added plus that you are doing something useful.

Here is a nice explanation about "physx on cpu" http://techreport.com/discussions.x/19216PhysX hobbled on the CPU by x87 code x87 has been deprecated for many years now, with Intel and AMD recommending the much faster SSE instructions for the last 5 years. On modern CPUs, code using SSE instructions can easily run 1.5-2X faster than similar code using x87. By using x87, PhysX diminishes the performance of CPUs, calling into question the real benefits of PhysX on a GPU. http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33965625PhysX - Intentionally Slow on CPUs? RealWorldTech Investigates. PhysX uses x87 because Ageia and now Nvidia want it that way. Nvidia already has PhysX running on consoles using the AltiVec extensions for PPC, which are very similar to SSE. It would probably take about a day or two to get PhysX to emit modern packed SSE2 code, and several weeks for compatibility testing. In fact for backwards compatibility, PhysX could select at install time whether to use an SSE2 version or an x87 version – just in case the elusive gamer with a Pentium Overdrive decides to try it.
But both Ageia and Nvidia use PhysX to highlight the advantages of their hardware over the CPU for physics calculations. In Nvidia’s case, they are also using PhysX to differentiate with AMD’s GPUs. The sole purpose of PhysX is a competitive differentiator to make Nvidia’s hardware look good and sell more GPUs. |

Dunno.
Bitcoin mining is an interesting concept, even if you don't become a professional miner, it help you getting a grasp of how the thing work
But as others said, putting it in the standard client may confuse new users, also since it use the GPU it would create problems if they don't know how GPGPU computing work (aka, start GPU mining and start a game, the perfect way to freeze the computer and being forced to press the reset key).

I think we should make an effort to be nice to people who get burned like this. It's easy to say it was obvious to you, but these things happen to the best of us sometimes. I know I was a damn fool to trust MyBitcoin.
If you were speaking to me, i was being sarcastic He should not be angry for the demotion and ban, given the forum from where he got banned Actually, the fact that he got banned is a good thing, it means he is a clever guy |

1)Havoc and such? CPU based? No. http://bulletphysics.org/wordpress/A physics engine that run on GPU via OpenCL 2) If it wasn't on the card, you would have to do the calculations on the CPU Of course if i don't use the card i use the CPU. The problem is, physx is made to run well on nvidia card. But it's not the only engine around 3)Please explain me where i am wrong, nvidia did not invent physics engine in gaming. "precompute"? Lolwut, it was possible to do the same thing that physx do before physx was created. |

But bwagner, if he follows your suggestion, how can he troll? |

I used: "With modern technology, the average person can run a bank from their back-pack." I also added "(If it takes off), governments would not be able to cut Iran and Syria off from the International banking system."
That second point is profound, if scary: not even governments can have their accounts frozen. The first point ensures that the average person can not have their accounts frozen either.
Edit: I also mentioned the concise, if technical: "Bitcoin is a peer to peer crypto-currency with a psuedonymous public transaction record."
I like that And mine?: Bitcoin functions as a decentralized, peer-to-peer crypto-currency with a pseudonymous public transaction record. Your definition is fine, but i was refering to his first speech, the "With modern technology..." thing.  Your definition is more completed than the phillip one, cause it add "decentralized" (and it's an important thing, especially when compared to thing like scamcoin that ARE NOT decentralized (closed source client? lol)) |

Here's an idea: actually respond to my questions and statements instead of redirecting me to a brief explanation of Keynesian and Austrian economic schools. I'm stating that bitcoin is flawed because it is built to deflate. I explained why such deflation would be a major problem. Now, if you do not see deflation as a problem with Bitcoin, then you will need to post here with an explanation of why my logic (on how deflation would be catastrophic) is flawed and how deflation would be positive or at least neutral. I also don't have any tolerance for Austrian nuts. The very paper that founded the school (AFAIK) has a subtitle of "how I learned to stop thinking and love stupidity". Now, either reply with an actual explanation or begone. I don't care if you copy-paste from another post, provided you attribute if it's from someone else. Just please, either reply to this with an actual answer or go away. Thank you.
More like you go away and learn how to do your homework instead of trying to waste our time. |

3. AMD/ATI cards are cheaper. It's less costly to setup the miner then with nVidia cards.
I posted on here that ATI/AMD cards probably have less quality. Just google "ATI loud fan". Should i link exploding nvidia cards?  PhysX is used for PHYSICS calculations. Here's a nice block for all of you to read: Wow so much yaddayadda Before PhysX, game designers had to “precompute” how an object would behave in reaction to an event. Bullshit. PhysX is designed specifically for hardware acceleration by powerful processors with hundreds of processing cores. Let me rewrite: PhysX is designed specifically to run on nvidia cards. I wonder why, maybe because uh it's nvidia propietary code? And lol at games using it. Yeah, to add like what, 2 particle? There are other physics engine that run on all systems instead of nvidia only. |

Wow the website is improving every time i refresh it, nice job!

Someone should tell memory dealers to stop using .gif for photos of items |
