Am I missing something? i0.btcguild.com seems to have been down for a while now...

I enter it in there and it says "Found!"
When it founds a number it says from which country it thinks it is. Make sure that the country listed is correct. If not, put the county code without the '00' and without '+' Well I finally got the pin - it took about 5 hours though! |

I can see that I can expect to lose out on another oppourtunity cus :
a.I'm too late (for when bitcion first arrived to make serious $$$) as I'm unable to keep up plus no1 rly cared to tell me when it first opened in 2009.
b.Price for mining contracts keeps going up (from my experience despite numerous offers,no one but 3 suppliers care about them)
c.Profit margins are getting thinner with each 'upgrade' of a contract.I feel that mining contracts are taking the mick in pricing now.The person has very low elec rates yet the end price is high :-/ (I honestly think that hardware can easily be paid off with loads more lower priced users more quicker than a few high paying users)
d.Difficulty rises means I get less BTC for my efforts
e.BTC value either drops a lot in a day or rises but never stays there.Value is unstable
f.If you wish to make bitcoin more acceptable as a currency to every1 (not just us miners),then add hte fairness bit where things have either a 'stabiliser' where things are kept stable or introduce 'relief' periods where in times of really low BTc value,there is a chance for hte currency to recover and when it's too high (too expensive for hte buyers),lower it to a more reasonable level.(I can only propose solutions as I lack programming knowledge to create my own currency).in life currency fluctuates all the time but not to ridiculous extremes which seems to happen on a regular basis from all the time that I was involved in mining of btc since late May 2011.
I wish to profit without the artificially created barriers and expense I constantly face.Well I feel that's happened for me because:
a.I'm a investor that likes to spend a more modest amount of money (not $1000's like some people can with hardware or buying bitcoins via exchanges) but expect proportional returns instead of like £74 investment in BTC giving me £5 profit.People I know who are able can spend HUGE amounts of money and profit like overnight yet I can't spend much and still take ages to pay off hardware and elec bills
b.I have extra challenges like bugdet cutbacks,living in a place where people complain about the heat,noise and power use of my mining rigs even a little.I have no access to alternative energy which would otherwise make my elec bill free instead of like $0.40 per kwh now in UK.
I don't wish to sound like a hater or a complainer so plz don't flame me.I'm simply getting some opinions off my chest as things have been very difficult for me in the btc world recently.

Nope.
There must be some way. If there was some media coverage, it might come back up. Bribe the media then  |

And if -rescan doesn't work you can try -checkblocks (this takes a long time though)

My mining machine has an AMD Sempron LE-1250 with 1GB of main memory, my GPU is a single 6870. My cpu is always at 100% usage, my questions are:
Is that normal (I read about the software bug)?
By today's standards, my CPU is also underpowered, could that factor into the 100% usage?
If I can't fix it and I'm using 100%, should I click on CPU Affinity? I would think IF I'm using extra electricity anyway, I might as well get an extra 4 mhash out of my setup, right?
No, it is not normal. It is a bug in the Catalyst drivers, you should change driver versions. Indeed, the latest drivers have this problem. Try 11.6 driver - it should work fine. Be sure to completely uninstall the current drivers first! |

That was the only lame excuse he could find to remove his public support for bitcoin  Paco's excuse is so strange. There are many people at this forum who don't yet understand why the 21 million coin limit is not a problem, and how Bitcoin could function with absolutely any pre-specified limit, but Paco Ahlgren has the knowledge, intelligence and background to understand this perfectly, and I'm sure he does understand it. Very, very odd. I thought the exact same thing when I read it. Very odd indeed. |

Yeah, it really is too bad there are so many scammers - it just makes things harder for legitimate traders.

What is your reason for selling?

My crystal ball tells me that some markets will go up, and some will go down. The bitcoin market? Hmm...it is so blurry...

I know some people haven't had problems with 3+ GPUs on a 32 bit system but others have reported problems. If the option is there you might want to try changing to 64-bit windows.
Does it really matter if its XP or win 7 64 bit? No that shouldn't matter. |

Did you get them Open Box? If they were brand new then they definitely should have the IDE cable in them; if Open Box, then nothing is guaranteed to be in there )othe than the mobo itself).
One was open box but the others I believe were not... |
|
|

You are right! I double checked the boxes of the three that I ordered and none of them came with IDE cables!  I'm gonna have to give newegg a call... |
|
|
|
Mine came with an IDE cable in the box...
Mine didn't - and you wouldn't believe how hard it is to find IDE cables locally! |

wow! Congratulations for getting hand on the bitcoin.com domain! Did you have that domain all the time or did you buy it for an enormous amount of BTC from someone else?  i'm curious about this too... there was a thread called "should we buy bitcoin.com?" but this forum's search feature isn't letting me find it. Here is the thread you are looking for: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=9442.0 |
