If your miner is not mining, does it still consume power? Surely there is some code there to stop power consumption on idle...

I've sold one of my S3 miners, will sell my next one and a coin craft to help fund my S5. I was juggling between this and the jackson but I believe this is better on the wallet in terms of power consumption. I lost $19 AUD on my S3 miners which I ran for about 3 - 4 months but I'm not fussed, I made some bitcoin!

Cmon Inca! Its taking good ground. Popularity is up on Cryptsy too. I'll be spending my points there to upvote whenever possible.

If you are going to use an online wallet, ensure that you have access to the private key and only use it for hot transactions.

I used to get random beeping and very slow cpanel access with particular firmwares on the S3. I can't recall which I'm using now but I found it is the best of the lot.

Hi all,

I have two Bitsoup.me invites I'd like to sell. 0.02btc each. Site has been closed for rego for quite a while now. 

I am happy to go first if you have good rep/vouch but if you have 0 rep/trust you will go first or use an MM.

PM or post here. Would prefer to do publicly than via PM.

I cannot send to temp/free email addresses, must be ISP, business or otherwise.

Awesome. That was bloody quick. Transaction done and dusted in a matter of minutes. Provided key and download link promptly. Downloading now, about to install.

No pay this week?

Also received. Much appreciated.

Are they going to ban cars too because bad drivers run people over with cars? This principle can apply everywhere. Bitcoin is NOT designed to be used in any ponzi/pyramid scheme. Hell you could pyramid scheme with lollies, clothes, jewels, anything you like. Bitcoin was just the selected commodity this time round.

This block looks like a painful one.

I don't agree with OP but there is a reason I don't trade Bitcoin much via exchanges and that is because of the bad luck so far. It just takes 1 rotten apple to spoil the bowl. If I need to sell bitcoin, I do it locally and privately.

The problem with OP is that, based on his post, he would like to steer towards a centralized system backed by a reputable source(ie a bank handling these exchanges). Would this take away from what Bitcoin is? Well I don't think so. These exchanges need just as much information from you before you can use their services. They charge fees. Some give small amounts of interest. But when you wake up the next day, your local bank will be there, your online exchange might not be.

This alone is NOT a reason as to bitcoin cannot succeed.

You make it seem bitcoin is only for investors. Its not. Fiat is not only for investors. Its an exchange tool. Its worth something and can be exchanged for goods. I love buying things with my bitcoins, especially what I've mined.

Don't fear your Bitcoin in that wallet alone, the fact that transactions are not being confirmed at all is a sign of bigger problem. 2hr old transactions with 0 confirms.

Trying to search transactions on blockexplorer and getting no results but blocks appear to be found.

Also suggests no blocks found for the past 2 hrs...

Just had a look at some 1hr old transactions, 0 confirmations. Something isn't right.

Just a small blog article.

12 confirmations, btc have been removed from receiving address. No game yet.

Keen to see potential results.

Pretty cool concept but you may have better chance selling them to an image gallery online.
