You should ask someone for a 64-bit version of bamt if you want 8 GPUs (lordcrappo didn't make it public but maybe you could ask him to seed it for a day or two)

I didn't ask you to disclose your assumptions. I asked Inaba to disclose the source of this income.

Inaba doesn't seem to be interested in discussing it.

Why should the bitcoin community consider his whining if he doesn't want to discuss this issue in an objective manner?

8/10 if trolling

I didnt know it was possible to have something in your eye for so long without hurting it.. Guess what, I was thinking about changing glasses for lenses (also for sports - martial arts and motorcycling) but now I think I will pass on it, my vision without glasses is sorta acceptable (or acceptable enough not to risk with lenses; why do they unhook/disengage off the eye?)

Hello I am wondering, how does someone come a moderator on these forums or global moderator?

You don't ask for it. This applies to all Internet forums.

If you only make $7 per hour at your 9-5, I think you would find a better investment for your money to be in some higher education.  That will be worth a lot more in the long run than some coins.

Higher education here in the UK costs 9000 GBP a year ... not the best value for money one would think Wink

But the loans your govt. offers are a very good offer (pay back only if employed and earning more than 21k (~$33 000) and installments are very little)

Free higher education here (Poland) for first degree, second is payable but if you're in top 10% of your class it's also for free.
On the other hand I worked for $4 per hour when I first got into mining almost exactly a year ago and this is around average national wage (but most people earn below that).

4049  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: PCIe card to PCI slot adapter on: May 16, 2012, 02:02:23 PM
Careful of the connector temperatures and currents - I used a PCI->PCIe converter on a 4890 mounted in a rack server two years ago.  Burned the motherboard and produced a lot of smoke.  Binned the server.

You should've used a powered pci-e extender on top of that, 4890 is a power hungry card (like any 'gamer' card) and it draws too much power for the PCI itself to handle, remember PCI can supply 25W of power while PCI-E can supply 75W of power. Without powered extender it is only safe to connect low-end cards (probably with passive cooling) at most.

The last thing that the Bitcoin Community (as a whole) needs is more negative press and an open door to possible Government(s) prying eyes.
Situations such as this could possibly just add 'fuel to the fire' and provide ammunition to those who are looking to outlaw Bitcoin due to scams/fraud etc.

I think they are fully aware by now what is Bitcoin, too lade to hide.
http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/threatlevel/2012/05/Bitcoin-FBI.pdf

Do not forget that negative press (Silkroad) was what actually made Bitcoin so popular last year.

This is another lesson (albeit, learned the hard way for some) and will hopefully help to make future Bitcoin Investors/Consumers more 'safety' conscious in regards to who they do business with and what they demand in order to feel safe throughout a transaction/deal.

Each incident helps to raise the bar a bit higher and eventually, the 'shit' will get weeded out of the community and a precedent set that will make it more difficult for scammers to operate, let alone even start up within the community.

Looking at recent Linode and Bitcoinica ($300k in two months) hacks I could say that it is the opposite - the more money is involved, the likelier the hack.

But I did not lose money here, those who did are free to do what they wish, I only gave a hint, if I saw someone being beaten by a thug I would be indifferent and say to him ''lol, it's your own fault, you should've enrolled to Krav Maga classes and carry a P99 at all times". It is possible to hunt down the amateur scammers and hackers so why not do it?

There is no such thing as a free lunch, there is no magic machine that makes value out of wishing, and there is no way to game the system by playing junior arbitrage genius to support the kinds of gains that people were wanting to believe in.

Yes, this sounded too good to be true for me and probably it's the reason why I didn't fall for it (common sense)

Quote
Stop acting like morons and believing in this bullshit. Scammers are in every venue, and when you line up like willing lambs to the slaughter... well, can you blame them for having a feeding frenzy on your dime? Think before you throw good money after bad, don't throw away the bad on nonsense and silliness to begin with.

This is still no excuse to scam or hack someone and exempt criminals from liability for losses/damage.

oh wow, and i thought thai gfs/wifes were harsh!

I have heard quite the opposite but I don't live there, have you any interesting stories to share?

BTW. Anyone managed to uncover Bitscalper's identity?
No info of him on whois but those affected by him could at least try this:

http://privacyprotect.org/
--> report abuse --> fraud complaint or website abuse complaint

http://privacyprotect.org/contact/#
5.

If out of 700 people, say 50 decide to contact them I think they will help (assuming Bitscalper used his real identity for registering the domain) to uncover his identity and contact the authorities.
Even if you lost a bitcoin I think you should report him, we have waaay too many of this type of scams going on around the BTC community.

It runs fine 16 months and >30 million people involved and get paid.


I see you're into it, so I have some questions for you:

1) How do you know there's 30M people involved in this (website info doesn't seem too credible..)
2) Do you know of anyone making any estimates on to when this is going to collapse? When are you prepared for it?
3) How does withdrawal work, which currencies (banks, countries) are supported? I am specifically interested in SEPA tranfers (EUR and PLN)
4) Why does the website look like it was written in 2000 (not the code though but quite a few errors there)
4054  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ł as the litecoin "symbol"? on: May 13, 2012, 11:28:35 AM
I like it but I'm not sure how to type it.

depending on your keyboard and text editor/website it should probably be: Alt + 0321 (utf-8) or Alt + 0163 (iso-8859-1 - bitcointalk.org uses this charset, don't know why they won't switch to utf-8...)

Ciekawa sprawa... nigdy wczesniej nie slyszalem o układach FPGA. Po wiekszym szukaniu znalazlem ustrojstwo zwane minirig. Czy znacie kogos kto ma ta maszynke?

Chodzi Ci o produkt BFL?
http://www.butterflylabs.com/products/

single juz sprzedaja, ale minirig jest jeszcze w fazie produkcji, wiec nie bylbym na 100% pewien dokladnosci wynikow, jest pobor pradu obliczony jest na podstawie symulacji jak to bylo z singlem przed produkcja, to faktyczny moze byc duzo wyzszy. No i na single jest tylko 6 miesiecy gwarancji, zobaczymy co bedzie na minirig, $15k to tyle co niezle auto :/

EDIT: okazalo sie, ze jednak nie jest to fake

Ale to co teraz chca na jesien wprowadzic nie wydaje sie prawdopodobne (1TH/s za $30k, etc.)

Is Dwolla good? That and BTC are the only good ways for me to receive money right now, as my PayPal account is frozen because I'm not 18. A check would work too.

How did they find out? I set up my PP account several years ago when I was also under 18, had it connected to my bank account and card (visa electron) and never had any problems buying or selling worldwide, before and after turning 18.

Depends on the CPU arch's address space (hint: 64 bit processors, internally, do not have 64 bits of address space, its usually something like 40 or 48 bit).

So there rest is reserved for something else?
4059  Economy / Services / Re: Shades Minoco / Shakaru / Collections / Debt on: April 04, 2012, 08:53:15 PM
Once Shakaru had the btc, it could have gone to a myriad of places: exchanges, personal wallets, etc.  There's no way to tell unless you're going to subpoena everyone.  MtGox generates private address for each person's deposits, so its not going to be an obvious "oh, that's an exchange transfer". 

Yes but not everyone paid with BTC, some (including me) paid with Paypal.

I saw some rig pics where 2 shorter ones were plugged together, the owner said it worked.

I don't remember the thread.

Saw that too.
Didn't work for me unfortunately Sad
