"Him and 3 other traders are looking to invest $300,000 in Bitcoin"

WHO are you?
WHY havent you contacted me?


I wondered the same, to be honest. If anyone can get your investment back in spectacular fashion, it seems to me that Charlie is your man.
3904  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What Central Exchanges Lack? on: April 02, 2012, 01:13:58 PM
Hi Everyone,
 BitAvenue is doing market research on what users of Bitcoin feel the central exchanges like Intersango and Mt. Gox lack.

For me, the fee's are what grinds my gears. I would prefer to use an exchange with zero fees.

What do y'all think?



Robert.
Sure, you don't want fees, but how do you pay a competent developer and site admin to keep things secure? How do you compensate users if your site gets hacked? For that matter, what guarantees that you can keep the server online? Running a popular exchange is expensive.

title proposal:

bring back web keys. say no to user name / password authentication
Crypto keys are only as strong as the user's ability to secure his computer and his passphrase.

2 factor auth is a better idea. Yubikey, matrix card, etc. And no, "security questions" are NOT 2 factor auth.

Yes, they come in milk or dark chocolate. One box for 1 coin.

I can get peanut m&m's. One coin per bag.
What would be really cool is listing where the quantity breaks are. For instance, schedule A is under xx pounds, and goes for xx per pound, schedule B is between xx and yy pounds and goes for yy per pound, and so forth.

If you want to make a business of it, a website would be even more awesome.
3907  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: GLBSE 2.0 open for testing on: April 02, 2012, 12:39:44 PM
Keep in mind now that this means that if your email account is compromised, then so will your GLBSE account, and we will bear no responsibility for this.

Is a two-factor authentication method on the roadmap?
+1, I hope so. Yubikeys have a nice and fairly easy to use system going on. Or you can do other options like matrix cards.
3908  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best way to Accept BTC via Wordpress Store? on: April 02, 2012, 02:16:53 AM
No, the tricky part is associating the right bitcoin address with the right order in a human readable and manageable interface. So far I haven't found a plugin that does it even though it seems simple enough on the surface:

  • Customer A places an order.
  • Plugin pulls unique BTC address from database and presents it upon checkout.
  • Customer A sends bitcoins.
  • Plugin enters that address into a field along with name, email, shipping address, etc.
  • You watch the blockchain or your wallet for the payment and send the goods once payment has been received.

Wow, this turned out to be way beyond me. Is it really that difficult to pull a bitcoin address from a database and associate it with a specific order?

Why shouldn't the software be as simple as a red light / green light indicator telling you whether funds have been received and confirmed (so you don't have to do all kinds of manual transaction checking)

You should be able to populate a database with a list of addresses, and then once one is used, mark it with a unique order number. Then you can do some fancy SQL magic to refer to it in the future, linking the order number with the rest of the order details in another table. Hmm, I am not a software designer, but this seems like a way it could be done.

I guess I will pop this to the top again...

10btc bounty for step by step instructions to get linuxcoin to load 7970's. 

I dont need instructions to mine with it. as long as aticonfig can see and edit the card, or at least cgminer see and edit the card.


I bring this up again because of this:  I tried to put a 6th 7x card on win64.  it will only load 5 of them.  so I am now worried that when I get 4 7990 in the windoz box, i may have trouble.


Are you sure it isn't just a mobo incompatibility somewhere along the line? Does the board work with more than 5 6xxx or 5xxx generation cards? (or 4 5970s)

Great article...

Two questions:

1. Whos Naomi O'Leary?
2. "Zhou Tong, who is professionally advised by a forex trader and the head of a Singapore-based algorithmic trading firm, now lends his name to international slang."

Who is this head of Singapore-based algo trading firm or what is the firm?


lulz - he's the lead dev @ Bitcoinica. Forced Liquidation on BTC/USD positions are now referred to as being "zhoutonged"

he's used the word himself. i.e. Forced Liquidation Price is "zhoutonging price"

mwahahaha!
Re read the quote - it says that Zhou Tong is advised by someone, and that that someone is a forex trader and head of the singaporian trading firm. Unless it was a typo on her part.

Ah! I was just thinking about this.

You did well, Bruno.

I can't believe she mentioned Atlas and Matthew. Still reading.

I saw a mention of what appears to be Bigpiggy01 in there. Very interesting article.

Sounds like we have the disorder identified, what is the treatment?

I hope the answer is electroshock therapy, cause I have always wanted to build a 2 million volt Tesla coil. Grin

The main site's certificate is signed by Verisign, but the socket connection for displaying the current price is served with a StartSSL certificate. Likely, the StartSSL root cert isn't trusted on your device.
but it says that the problem cert is issued by verisign
Yeah I noticed that, but I guessed maybe that the "view certificate" dialog defaulted to opening the main site cert, instead of the one that was causing the error. Not sure, but in any case you need to compare the cert fingerprint with one from a trusted computer/connection, and make sure they match.

I had the same issue on my Blackberry until I added the StartSSL CA cert to my trusted roots, and then I stopped getting errors. YMMV.

If there is a way to use virtualization but still access the GPU hardware, that could allow for some really interesting ways of doing things.
There is, and a lot of commercial virtualization software offers it. It's usually called "GPU pass-through", or something along those lines.
Yes, but I have yet to hear from anyone that has tested it much. Luke-jr is the only one that I know of that has actually mined with a video card in a virtualized OS, using KVM passthough virtualization. But that was only one card, and the system was somewhat unstable. Others have mentioned that since the drivers run in usermode with X, that I might be able to run multiple X instances. But I don't really know enough about how that works to know how to set it up, or even whether it would work at all.

Quote from: Tuxavant link=topic=73666.msg829548#msg829548

I understand your mobile checkout does this, but the pimpcoin codes only return a static address every time, right? I was talking to Tony about this yesterday... I would be a good service for pimpcoin if you guys did this to generate new addresses for a girls's short URL to give her more privacy... this could justify the expense of your service too because of the added privacy.

The pimpcoin card works like the bitpay deposit card, but with a mobile interface to check balances and setup the direct deposit and everything. We move the bitcoins around shortly after receiving them, so querying the girls address won't disclose much.

And I would say that 2.69% to get bitcoins converted to dollars sent to your bank account the next day is very reasonable. It is hands down the fastest way to get bitcoins into your bank account Smiley

$$$

I would actually prefer the girls to use the coins within the bitcoin community and not "easily exchange them to $$$". after all, that was part the initial goal, right?

Both options are very important. If the girls opt to not covert to fiat via Bit-Pay, they'll need to have a simple list of merchants to go to that accept Bitcoin, ones that offer products and services that interest them--not us. An example would be that fishing lures are shaped, sized and colored to be marketed to the fisherman, not to the fish. (I now feel that this analogy sucks worms, but...) What I mean is that there needs to be a site that sells teddies at a reasonable price point and accepts Bitcoin on the list for example, and it can't be cheaply made teddies either, for the girls know the difference. For the best list possible, I suggest asking the girls what they would purchase using Bitcoin, and we, as a community, will make it happen for them.

~Bruno~


teddies? what the... really?!?

"I suggest asking the girls what they would purchase using Bitcoin". I can tell you one answer would come up as the winner: gardening supplies from SR.

Hahahaha, Phin is showing his age. Grin Teddies is a really really old term for some kind of old-school stockings.

What the heck is this homeowners insurance you all keep talking about..
it's a way to burn your house down and get out of the upside-down mortgage.

then your will either get a newer bigger house, or move to a government subsidized boarding facility.


Ahh so I only need it if I'm going to burn my house down.  Gotcha.
Or get it flooded, or hit by lighting, or blown away by a tornado, or rammed by a stray car, or whatever. Shit happens.

got my first two up and running......stable as hell @950/850.....temps well below 85 degrees.  getting just under 300 per core using cgminer.  At this price they are quitea deal per MH. 
Cool, what's the power usage approximately?
3920  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [3600 Gh/s] DeepBit.net PPS+Prop,instant payouts, we pay for INVALID BLOCKS too on: April 01, 2012, 12:49:50 PM
No, it's not how it works.
If I send normal TX and the block with it gets orphaned, this TX will be automatically re-mined again.
But if block with coinbase TX is orphaned, this TX won't be re-mined automatically and I'll need to check it after 100 blocks and if it's lost then there is another 20 hours period to wait.
This is the main point. Since Deepbit pays for invalid blocks, coinbase payments will not work properly without a lot of additional hassle.
