Merged mining working @ Mt Red? Didn't seem to be on my last visit.
No, and they really should change their website where they say they offer it.  |

Oh snap, that's not good.
I might be able to help you out, if you would allow me to import them to WalletBit ?
I don't need a place to keep those keys. I just thought a question about decrypting keys like that would be a simple one for the cryptographically minded types here on this forum. I expected a quick answer like: "Sure, using an online decrypter should be safe enough." or "You can download a good decrypter here: somesite.com" Thanks for the offer anyway. |

Neither Firefox nor Chrome will let me go to the strongcoin.com site because they deem it to be insecure:
--------------------------------------------------
strongcoin.com uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate expired on 12/10/2012 6:28 AM.
--------------------------------------------------
I am not too worried since I have a pdf backup. Just wondering what is going on.
They just forgot to renew their certificate, I'm sure. Nothing too sinister. I'd just accept the certificate temporarily then log on and transfer all my bitcoins out since if they don't have a handle on their server certificates, that's signs of a lax attitude elsewhere. Those browsers don't seem to give me the option to accept the cert temporarily and continue on to the site... but I suppose I could do a bit of googling to find out how to do that. But just as an exercise, or just for fun, lets pretend that site went away completely... does anyone have the answer to my question? ~~ So what is the best way to decrypt the private keys in that pdf so I can import them into blockchain.info/wallet or MtGox? I think I read that it uses AES encryption. Is it reasonably safe to use some online form to decrypt them, or are there [trusted] programs to download to do that locally? Thanks |

I am becoming more convinced we are dealing with an organization here a la Bavarian Illuminati, who started many of the world's revolutions...
Ooookay...  |

I've tried registering an account but don't get any confirmation email.
@Portnoy
Check your spam folder.
I did not received the email as well (not in spam eighter), so I contacted the support asking if they could add "resend confirmation email" button, they told this feature will be added soon. They were kind and sent me the confirmation code manually I tried that resend email feature and never got anything the second time and had to get the code sent manually as well. Btw, I don't have a spam folder. I don't want to miss any good opportunities from the Nigerian Royal Family to make millions. I haven't done too well with any of them so far but when one of them pays off... WU HOO!  |

Coinad is no longer hourly, unless you create an account with them.
The site isn't working properly for those without accounts.
I get this message when I submit the form:
"You already requested free bitcoins in the last hour
Please come back in 2 hours 4 minutes 38 seconds."
I didn't request free bitcoins in the last hour. The last I tried was yesterday and it was giving false messages and not allowing submissions like this then as well.
Yesterday it worked normally for me, maybe you had opened and did not refresh the home page (and tried to submit) because they were very often in maintainance mode? I have to confirm you will get now these suspicious submit results when you dont have account there, but if you register account, you can submit hourly without problems. Will be interesting what they have plans for the registered acounts, because now it does not have a purpose I've tried registering an account but don't get any confirmation email. |

Now everyone will think Sir Wilfrid Laurier invented Bitcoin and the Liberal Party of Canada is the central authority! I rather doubt the room for genuine confusion here. Ya think?  Btw, this is not a new idea. The Discordians have been fnording dollars since the 60s, and no doubt they were not the first to print slogans ( and/or counter-magick formulas ) on currency. Hail Eris! |

Here my first Canadian dollars ready to be unleashed!  Oh great... Now everyone will think Sir Wilfrid Laurier invented Bitcoin and the Liberal Party of Canada is the central authority! |

Thought I would try this pool out.
I've got numbers showing up in the dashboard for Bitcoin but all zeros for Namecoin. Is merged mining not working?

Port, thank you for that info, again, I was not told really anything, I got into the game and asked several times and never really got anyone willing to help me in game, or answer questions in chat window. there are a lot of things about the game and it's mechanics that I am sure I, and others simply do not know. I hate to say it but have a feeling that I am not alone in the club of, don't know what's going on, in the game. This I believe will drive a lot of folks away from it. It IS very complex and if nobody is there to walk or help some folks through it or learn the basics, they will just leave out of frustration.
Maybe things have changed from when I would spend time there, but people used to be very friendly and helpful. And if you were new you would have many people asking you if you had a mentor yet until you picked one... one would have to pick a mentor just to keep from being constantly asked this. lol Next time you are there say something like, "Hey I am new and I need a mentor to help me gamble my large wad of coin!" and you should have many level 5 players ( you have to be that level or above in order to mentor ) coming forward to take you on as a student. The more one gambles, whether they win or lose, the more their mentor makes in Dragon's Treasure (DT). The lack of information is perhaps a way to encourage new players to find a mentor... and/or it may be because the game is still in alpha ( even though the game has been around for well over a year now... I remember them saying they were just about to go into beta months ago. ). |
