As far as I'm aware there is no problem with doing so, you just have to implement the merged mining process into your pool software rather than some of the older (less efficient) methods that were done when merged mining was first being pushed.
Yes, it is clearly possible, although there's no docs for merged mining process and existing software and patch to older bitcoind is mostly hack to "get it work" instead of "get it work properly". I'll discuss this in #namecoin anyway. If there'll be somebody willing to help me with re-implementation of MM and removing dependency to bitcoind patches, I'll try to do it...Thanks. I feel there is much promise there, but perhaps not much need for it... yet. And, as they say, it is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Like slush, I'm considering dropping NMC support as well. The project really does seem dead...
Whoever speaketh of Cthulhu shall remember that he
but seemeth dead, he sleeps, and yet he does not sleep,
he has died and yet he is not dead, asleep and dead
though he is, he shall rise again. Again it should be shown that
That is not dead which can eternal lie,
and with strange aeons even death may die.

At 55 I am the oldest person here. I've seen a lot of history. I remember very little of it. Television was invented, then bycycles, spaceships and computers.
55 i think ur are a cool guy doing BTC @ your age...some 55y old can,t even start a pc..and how many ponzi scheme did u survive??? That's a really cool attitude! Most young people look at us as if you're over 30 you all have dementia. The prejudice is so bad it literally makes me lie about my age. Ya, look at this poll itself, everyone over 50 is grouped together. lol |

BitVisitor really needs to handle incorrect captcha submissions better.  |

Just in case you didn't see this suggestion I made in the other thread:
Consider putting in something like dailybitcoins has with their prize counter on the frontpage: "50 larger prizes available today"
A counter that decrements when one of the larger prizes is won, so that users don't have to keep hitting F5 to reload the page
trying for that prize after it has already been won. Then they can either opt for the base amount or wait and try for a larger prize
later.
That's against his interest, since it would reduce number of daily page views.  I wouldn't automatically assume that he would have less page views, since a lot of people might be like me and would just not use the site as often because of the lowered base prize and the increased page loading one needs to do to try for a larger prize... only to find after wearing ones fingers out on the F5 key that one didn't get it. I also like your suggestion about lost prizes. I also got 0.003 yesterday while trying for a smaller amount. |

a alternative currency by default is not illegal. but if that currency's use is predominantly used for illegal activity and has not actual value of to the general public to buy commodities such as vegetables, milk, etc then it can be considered illegal. as such there have been cases in china and other countries that instead of hauling around FIAT capital. they would trade 'tickets' which were authorised as IOU's by the head of merky drugs cartel to be of value to the holder. a recent movie 'premium rush' features such a ticket which basically is a receipt with a smiley face on it to represent that it has been authorised. this system is illegal. if any of you want to get bitcoin completely legal here is two steps. 1) stop the god dang drug dealing being the main use of it. this doesn't have to be blocking silkroad but instead getting some reputable merchants to accept bitcoin to dilute the high percentage of trade being done by silk road. to atleast only 1/2% of use so that it is atleast on par with FIAT. yes FIAT can be considered drug money but it has so many other uses, that FIAT is accepted by all as a currency of value. 2) learn how LETS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Exchange_Trading_Systems became an accepted alternative currency term. and then after reading the link. consider how to make bitcoin a term such as GETS (Global Exchange Trading System). but point 2 cannot be done easily without point 1 being done. and on the flip side point 1 can't be done easily without point 2 being done. both due to the lack of positive reputation and understanding. the other alternative is to use Litecoins to become a GETS and leave bitcoin for the merky business. The fact that many people use BTC to buy the things they want ( drugs ) shows that it is already successful... so who needs it to be legal? What damn good is litecoin if you can't even buy drugs with it?  |

I happily spend BTC when it rises in value above what I originally paid for it... if I happen to find something that I want/need that I can pay for with BTC... and especially if the merchant offers a discount in BTC over other forms of payment. Those latter things are fairly lacking at the moment so I just save that BTC for when I can make good use of it. And I see that as being more beneficial to the BTC economy than harmful. /edit btw I do let my customers know that I take BTC and I offer them a discount over cash or cheques and a greater discount over paypal. Oh my gosh... now that I am editing this post I see that I have to press that "save" button... I am somewhat reluctant to do that now that it appears there is a negative stigma against such practices... oh well I will get over it... thank god it doesn't offer the option to "hoard" my post...  and another btw... in regard to the OP... what good is happiness which isn't shared?  |

thanks for the lists ,
You're welcome. but this is just penies ..
2 bad theres nothing that could be more valuable
Fractions of a penny in most cases... but many of these places can't even make a go of it at that. They are trying to make enough money, with the ads they show you etc., to make enough to give out some to you and to have some left over for themselves as well. If you want to make more you will have to do something like sell something - like your services - for BTC. What products, talents, and skills, do you have for which others will be willing to pay? |

The highest I've got in the last 24 hours is 1.76, one time. All the rest were .4, .32, .24, and .16. Site still says "up to 4 mbtc" so I've got my fingers crossed to get lucky!
( talking about bitvisitor of course. ) I think that certain pages are meant for only certain geographic areas ( based on ip address )... and so if you don't see any of the higher value ones you probably never will. |

Will try some of these link, so i cani familiarize with how the whole bitcoin payment system works.
That's what this list is for... although no one will stop you from continuing to use those sites beyond that. |

Bitcoin is nothing but a fun currency or a way to purchase things illegally. Face it, even if it were to "take off" the govt would shut it down.
Which govt... ( there are more than one and they tend not to get along too well most times. ) And how do you turn off something that doesn't have an "off" switch? Bitcoin doesn't even require "the internet". First world govt's. You dont "turn it off" you make it illegal. It wont stop completely obviously but no real business will touch it ever if its illegal. Most people will also stop using bitcoin if it becomes illegal. Perhaps, but it won't be shut down. If first world govts make it illegal some second or third world govts may just adopt it as their official currency. If first world govts get too draconian in their controls they could end up driving more and more people to use alternative underground systems... Bitcoin does require the internet. How do you think coins originate?
There are many more networks, and methods of information exchange, than what is known as "the internet". |

So first: how about doing away with the idea of an exchange having to be Bitcoins-for-some-tangible-good?
Umm... I kinda like the idea of using bitcoins for that... You've described a way to sell digital content for Bitcoin. It has nothing to do with an exchange, which is about exchanging Bitcoin with liquid goods (usually, traditional currencies).
+1 Maybe you should change the tread title... I was kinda excited to read that topic, but then I read what you were actually talking about. |

Great offer;
i am giving away 200 BTC
to the one that are worthy.
to qualify send 10 BTC to this address: 1PCJyZYaTTxUeQgLeSVaVLB6s6PAB7qY7S
and you might be worthy for 200 BTC
this is limited offer
send before i change my a mind
lol Why do I have a feeling you will change your mind 'after' someone sends you 10 BTC to that address? Good luck in getting anyone to send you any BTC. Nice way to introduce yourself to the community and to start to establish trust. |

on BitVisitor home page I see last day or two Earn up to 4 mBTC per website visit lasting 5 minutes or more! but newer got to visit this sponsor. Is it typo or anybody visited this sponsor? I'll attest that it is in fact occasionally 4 mBTC. I've managed to get it several times in the last couple days. Since I've been trying it I have never seen it that high for a single site view.
The highest I've seen it start at is .64 btm(mbtc) then to .48, .24, .16, and down to .08
The last couple days it was starting at .24 btm for me... today it started at .32
Seems it is geographical based to get to the 4 mBTC sponsor Yes, that's what I was thinking. |
