Is it just me or is Deepbit finding a lot less blocks than it used to? I went from average rewards of .35BTC per day to .20-.25 with no change in hashing power. I originally thought my ISP might causing issues because I would see random server down-times but that hasn't happened in at least week. My average reward per block hasn't changed much but my total rewards haven't gone back up to their previous levels, making me suspect that the pool is finding less blocks than it used to.
Can anyone confirm this?>
The difficulty just went up. |

Good luck with sale. My friend bought a '95 Honda Civic for about 200 btc and got a free amp with it also.
When was that? I don't recall any such sales previously. |

I'm happy to see someone making raffles automated!
Yay, Matthew is out of b& jail! The forums are whole again.  |

Sorry for being a newb at this, but from what it sounds like, I'm selling my hashing power through GPUMAX to some random, that random is then using my hashing power to produce shares for the pool which is paying out highest?
And this payout probability and junk can be determined by shit I don't know yet?
is that about the long and short of it?
Pretty much. |

LOL rjk were you waiting for somebody to give me a thumbs up?  Of course, it's part of my "due diligence"  Especially when placing such a large order! |

+1 for Candies, I received my order as expected and he went to great lengths to make certain that I was happy with what I got.
Great, glad to hear it. OK, let me know the total for the following: Twix - 10 lbs Tootsie rolls - 10 lbs Skittles - 10 lbs Starbursts jelly beans - 10 lbs Chocolate Oranges - 10 oranges fox's mints - 10 lbs If any of these needs to be greater or fewer in order to be an "even" amount, please let me know, and I will change it to fit that. |

Also, I bought ticket #42, but it doesn't show as an X and allows others to enter on the same ticket number.

Did you mean to have it in a frame? (It wasn't before) In a frame, I can't see the Bit-pay SSL stuff to be sure that it it secure. Of course, I can load the page outside of the frame, and that shows that all is well. |

You talk like it is definitely going to happen. Which it isn't. I'm not particularly worried.
It would be interesting to see it implemented in some kind of altcoin though.

Banks don't need a blockchain. The purpose of a blockchain is to provide consensus in an anonymous decentralized environment without any central authority.
Banks using a blockchain makes about as much sense as dictatorship holding annual elections with only 1 candidate on the ballot.
Which dictators do all the time. I would think banks would want irreversible interbank transactions/records. Why wouldn't they? I could even see them wanting anonymous interbank transfers (they're usually the primary money launderers - why not find a new route now that the US/UN has shut that down so much?) I don't see why a bank wouldn't want consensus on "what is the agreed upon value of the total money supply" , and where did it come from and go to - the $15,000,000,000 that Lord James discovered to be back by some 750,000 TONS of gold (which can't possibly exist!) just appeared - you don't think the banks would want consensus that you can't introduce ludicrous amounts of "money" into the global supply? I do. "banks don't want bitcoin" is not a valid argument for anything in my book. They may not like their customers using it, but they sure don't all trust each other. I don't see why it isn't perfect for them to use between themselves. (maybe I should be enlightened?) I do see some being old, stuck in old ways, and not adopting new technologies, but they'll die off soon enough. Like newspapers. If they only wanted to use it for inter-bank transfers, they would pre-mine a bunch of coins and then disable the block reward completely. Then use the mining to do confirmations, and assign an arbitrary value to each coin. But this doesn't really seem to be necessary, unless they were trying to combat insider theft on a grand scale. |

Bump. What happened? Can't reply cause you are in jail? Or did we ever get some video of this? Not in Jail, haha. The book is still intact. My Army buddy gets back April 12th. I lost track of what we were going to do with the book, but we had some pretty good ideas. I need to get rolling on this, haha. Man... this topic still exists lol
Well there are only so many ways to kill it Stake through the book with a 3/4" stake. Remove. Stake it again, with a 1 1/2" stake, just to be sure. Remove. Insert half stick of dynamite into hole. Detonate, just to be sure. Bonus points - Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. I think you have a pretty solid idea. You know those weather balloons can be had for a decent price. I can beat Tosh.0s rocket pop with a glittery dynamite explosion at 110,000 ft.... Could you see it from that far away? Also, wonder what the FAA would think. |

Holy shit. TWO 8-pin connectors, and the fan is in the middle. If only it hadn't been posted on April 1st, and admitted by the OP to be an april fools joke. Aw not again... April 1st was yesterday for fucks sake. |

Are they liked at all in the Bitcoin community?
They are the only way bitcoin can survive. Miners don't just make money. Miners do the job of confirming transactions added to the public ledger, and the more the merrier. |

It may have huge historical value, but note that the coinbase from the genesis block can actually not be spent.
Ehh, why? The first 50BTC block reward went to address 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa, though this reward can't be spent due to a quirk in the way that the genesis block is expressed in the code (this may have been intentional). https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Genesis_block |

Where can you find the average asking price of miners?
You can't AFAIK. By buying?  I don't think that's the average asking price; it changes extremely infrequently. Mainly because the average ask is controlled by large miners. Little miners with odd prices aren't going to affect the price of large miners with normal prices. I have seen it change before. |

Nothing of signifcance can be done with FPGA's besides mine.
Quite false. FPGAs are not only for mining, they can be programmed to do (almost) anything you want them to do. Indeed, products such as what Ztex sells, and the Icarus board are designed primarily as development boards. Others such as X6500 and BFL are more suited to mining only, but the chip can do many other things once it has been reprogrammed. BS. BFL and encrypted bitstream = not possible "for sure"
Also, unless they explicitly provide the special WPA cracking bitstream then they are useless.
I don't know how to make my own bitstream and I doubt many of us here do ...
BS to you. While we don't know for certain what chip is in BFL's product, that does not mean that all FPGAs are single purpose. Even if an encrypted bitstream is used, it is possible to flash the chip with a non encrypted one. The purpose of the encryption is to prevent others from copying the bitstream, NOT to prevent the chip from being used for other purposes. |
