I understand that this post may seem unbelievable, but i am in a situation in which i really need $10. I don't go on the bitcoin forums as much because i'd much rather go on Reddit's bitcoin page instead. But since this is the official bitcoin forums, i just thought i would ask you guys to help me because i really need the medicine i need.

I don't know how to make you guys believe me. Sorry for begging, but i just really need help guys.

you need medicine for Social Anixiety? let me tell you something bro, i have social anxiety and the best thing that ever happened to me was when i quit smoking weed and taking my prescribed xanax. it was a bitch for a few months, i had a few panic attacks and blood pressure spiking randomly to the point my whole body went numb and my veins looked like huge tubes inside of my hands, but after a while i gradually coached my self into being able to leave the house without a panic attack. since i faced my fears, its inspired my mother and grandmother who both have issues with depression and GAD to both quit their anxiety medications and they are happier now then i've ever seen them. you should consider facing your fears man, i did and i'm so much happier now.

Is it safe to just go cold turkey?  O.o

how does he have 2 hero sockpuppets?

I didn't know until yesterday that I even had them

Haha.  Adam, I'm ready for Abstract Coin 1.0.  Will the balances transfer?

Dang it sockpuppet! What do I pay you for anyway?! Smiley

I'm just posting here to subscribe, and to point out that the coins that all came from the same source were my coins, as I said on my thread.

You don't pay sockpuppets, you run them yourself, as you well know.

You're posting here to subscribe to people verbally eviscerating your project without refuting them? You don't even have any defense for yourself and want to let these statements (such as how you're nothing but a dirty conman) stand then?

I'm no longer experiencing the slow-downs, seems to be fixed.
Thanks!
Actually, the random - though very frequent - stallings are back for me, guess it's linked to the peak hours, which is probably not a good sign.  Undecided


Same

I still have slowdowns too.

I think it's a great Idea I'm working on something similar at the moment called Artcoin, it's a peer to peer painting currency, instead of contributing computational power each peer has to make the picture a little bit prettier. Once a user on the block chain agrees to buy the picture because it's lovely for $2, the difficulty doubles and the next artwork needs to attract a buyer at $4. There's a predetermined amount of artwork to be created (30) as the last one's got to be an absolutely blinding masterpiece that no one can top valued at $1,073,741,824   

I'm also working on BC coin (bible code coin) where each peers hashing power goes towards finding revelations about the future hidden inside War and Peace every time we find something trippy an automated email gets sent to the sunday mirror in return for cash split among those who contribute hashing power.

Seriously?

58  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Linux or windows 7 on: July 31, 2013, 12:09:39 PM
Linux is pretty much the Genesis of modern desktop computing.
It supports waaaaaay more than Windows does.
Windows is artificially capped to support up to X number of CPU's or Cores. Linux is only limited by what the hardware supports.
When it comes to drivers, there is far more available for Linux. Maybe not always official from the manufacturer, but they're there. Maybe you need to trace the hardware back to the chipset manufacturer (certain Realtek based soundcards, for instance). And even if your specific distro isn't supported, the drives can be built from source to fit in. That way, hardware is also never too old. If you can connect it, you can make it work. With Windows, driver support is often dropped. Many HP scanners and printers for instance are simply not supported in Win Vista and later (like the Scanjet 4470c), just because driver support has been dropped. There are no sourcecodes available and there are no tools to create Windows drivers.

And ofcourse, you can make Linux run on pretty much anything with a general purpose CPU, independent of architecture. Hacking a router with an ARM CPU? No problem! Smartphone? Sure, can be done! MP3 player? Yes, some will actually run Linux! Nintendo DS? Yup, also works! A Playstation or Xbox? Yeah, why not?!

Really?  Ok then, I shall use Linux!  But it actually works on a DS!  lol!

Which distro though?
(ubuntu seems the best but what about x and kubuntu?)

Yes, works on a DS. Did it on my silver DSLite. Just get a flash cartridge (M3, R4, TTDS, etc) and a microSD card. Then download DSLinux and put it on the flashcart. There was even a GUI.
If you happen to own a DS, it really is worth it to give the flashcart thing a try. There's a lot of so-called homebrew software. Quake has already been ported to the DS too (and actually very playable too) and loads of other pieces of software. (BeupDS MSN client, DSWeather, Voice-and-Pen-Chat, FaceBook4DS, Nitrotracker, etc etc)
Appart from the fact that a DS has no USB ports, it would be a great candidate to use as miner control. If it had USB, you could run DS Linux, plug a Block Erupter in and install CGMiner. Will fetch work through Wifi and everything.

When it comes to Distro's, it's pretty much personal preference. Anything recent should be just fine.
Ubuntu does seem to be the most comonly used, but Fedora (formerly Redhat) and Debian are also pretty popular.
Difference between Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu is the GUI system they use. There's a few different methods in existance for Linux, and everyone has their own preference. So in essence they are the same, except for they way it looks.
Any major distro will also come with an absolute metric shit-ton of drivers, so pretty much any fairly well known hardware will work out of the box, just like in Windows.

You may want to consider installing the latest AMD graphics drivers though. I'm not sure if the APP SDK (OpenCL support) also comes native with the major linux distro's.

If it's your first time in Linux you may want to use a guide to get it set up quickly for mining.
For learning purposes, I'd get an old computer just to play around in Linux.

Is this the place where I download the drivers?
I installed Ubuntu on my current computer, it has a pretty nice GUI.
It's pretty cool that you can run Linux on the DS!  Grin
59  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Linux or windows 7 on: July 31, 2013, 03:06:32 AM
This is the Linux distro I mostly use for mining, and the guide I followed:

Complete Guide to Mine Bitcoin on Xubuntu 12.04
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Gw7YPYgMgNNU42skibULbJJUx_suP_CpjSEdSi8_z9U/edit

This guide is a little old, but it will still work for newer versions of Xubuntu. There are other good guides on this site as well. Read through several and see which one makes the most sense to you. You'll at least be able to glean a few good points from all of the guides, and they have a way of explaining things that another guide may not have explained as well.

Be sure to read cgminer's README. It has a lot of important info that you'll need now, and probably will need later.

My advice: use Bitminter or Guiminer on your Windows system until your Linux box is ready. That way, you'll get used to how an operational mining rig operates, and it will get the "I've got to get mining NOW!!" bug out of your mind so you can concentrate on configuring the Linux system.



Ok, thanks!
Where can I get the drivers though?
