Additionally, I am very well armed. I dare any man to come murder me. I would love the challenge.
Sounds more and more like the sociopathic serial killer. Challenge indeed. |

If I understand this correctly, he just provides the software so you can turn your existing botnet in to a bitcoin farm. Thats probably not even illegal.
Maybe the software he is selling is infecting the purchasers computer for his own botnet.... </tinfoilhat> In any case, he says "don't upload to virustotal", so someone needs to get right on that. Also, pay with paypal so that you can charge the fucker back and also get more info. |

Copying a file on a computer is not Bitcoin weakness. It's user fault for having an infected computer.
If my computer is infected everything is weak, i type a password and the virus read it for example.
the fact that the official bitcoin client stores the wallet in a vulnerable manner by default is indeed a weakness. So since the password for an encrypted wallet can be grabbed by a keylogger, that is a vulnerability caused by the core dev team in the official client? Honestly, you bore me. |

I highly doubt that is related to the mystery miner farm simply looking at the installation procedure which is more than likely just some script that you must manually run on slave machine and not something that can infect a user remotely.
Well the admincode posting thread title says it is a bitcoin botnet miner. The guy has a support email address at the domain http://ixam-hosting.com/ and another Skype at "ixam4131" |

LOL omg you guys want so much candies. Here's the thing with large orders. I have to buy this stuff in bulk. I have to buy 5-10 pounds of something to sell you the 1 pound that you want. I dont mind, just be sure you dont change your mind. I dont wanna order 50 pounds of candy and have no one to sell it to. Since you two want such large orders i would really appreciate half and half. Half now and i will place your order. When i receive your order and take pics you can send me the other half. Does that work for you guys?
Well, I understand where you are coming from, and I certainly wouldn't be changing my order except to make it bigger.  But there is also the problem that you are fairly new - we usually solve this with escrow where a trusted third party holds the money until the stuff arrives. Once a few orders have been successful, then most people will just send to you first. But until then, not sure whether my guarantee to not lower the order or the offer to use escrow would appeal to you? |

You guys really think the genius who brought us Bitcoin was stupid enough to lose a gazillion Bitcoins?
This guy knew he was creating something that could/would bring down the global banking cartel. He knew he would be a target. Any smart target would wait to move his coin until it becomes extremely safe to do so. You think he's going to buy some alpaca socks and have them shipped to his house? Or sell his coins on Mt. Gox?
No, he'll patiently wait until the the empires of the world come crashing down and we live in a much more free and peaceful planet before he comes out and exposes himself and his extremely vast fortune. At least that's what I would do.
I'm still waiting to see actual blockexplorer evidence of his supposed wealth. |

Looks like that may use a standard HSPA modem to connect, in which case it may be supported directly in Windows without needing to fiddle with the software from the broadband provider. Try disconnecting with the software app, then go to the Windows connections icon in the tray and check out the options. It should show up under the "Dial up and 3G" section, and there should be any number of ways to configure the device, including auto-reconnect options.

I am flattered that you find them ridiculous. That's a good sign that I am doing what I prefer: Challenging preconceptions and dogma.
Did I use the word ridiculous ? I recall "entertain and amaze". |

Lategan explains that Bitcoin, a fast-growing global digital currency that resides solely in the cloud, has already been the victim of attacks. Lol i missed that before. Bitcoin has been the victim? Didn't know linode=bitcoin.  And they want to find weaknesses in SHA256? Maybe it's SHA256 but they refer to AES seeing the mistakes they make you could argue that the worm stealing wallets was a direct attack on bitcoin. They didn't break the protocol. |

Must be a great scam to consistently handle 90%+ of traded bitcoins  No one said it's a scam the most I said was "dishonest and unethical business practices" you mean being a real company trying to respect local laws and world AML laws is "dishonest and unethical business practices" ? mtgox need to have bank accounts, to have banks accepting to open ( and not close later ) a bank account for a bitcoin exchange is real hard, and you have to respect many laws, including AML laws , which means requiring Id docs for any suspect account. I explained what I mean like 6 times now. They marked my account nothing to do with AML, suspect linode hacked coins is their excuse. I think MtGox is going above and beyond and legal requirements for profit. I think they probably have a system to do this with up to hundreds of different variables to maximize profit by locking accounts most likely to not verify after deposits. That's what I think is dishonest and unethical. You can disagree with my opinion there as I have no evidence of that and never have claimed to. So far, I would say that your tenacious refusal to submit the required info is suspicious enough to warrant an AML flag. |

Why doesn't the admin of this site use myBb or Php
Have you read the first post? Point me to a piece of the OP that is relevant Need much handholding? Pretty much the whole post is what you need to read, but pay attention to the "Required Features" section. Hint: no "stock" installation of any existing BB software will work because it is insufficient. |

".01 BTC" is not a reasonable fee, period. Here's why.
I lend 1BTC to someone for 1 day, interest paid is 1%, total 1.01 BTC due.
I pay him the 1BTC loan, there's 0.01BTC paid to you.
He spends his 1BTC on whatever it is he wanted, there's 0.01 BTC paid to you.
He trades cash for 1.01BTC to pay me back, another 0.01 BTC paid to you.
He sends me the 1.01BTC, there's another .01BTC paid to you.
The interest on the loan was 0.01 BTC, total interest paid to me = 0.01BTC, interest paid to you just for the tx, .04 BTC, or 4 times the interest the loan was worth. This sort of 1BTC/1% transaction happens regularly on the lending forum.
I should point out that western union does indeed charge based on how much you send, although it's a flat rate for up to a certain amount, but that's pretty irrelevant. I would say a "Fair" rate is more like 0.05%, maybe 0.025%, with a spam fee that increases exponentially per digit below the spam threshold, say 20% to send 0.001BTC, 50% for 0.0001BTC, 100% for 0.00001BTC, and doubling forward. Of course, since this was very poorly thought out before client was released, figuring out how to reach any kind of consensus between miners and clients is not going to be easy.
I won't spam up this thread anymore, but I think what you are proposing has serious flaws. Since the blockchain is a "tragedy of the commons" type of problem, unless all miners and all clients agree to what a reasonable fee is, there's going to be serious conflicts at some point. Either significant numbers of empty blocks, no way for a client to determine what a "good" fee is, and if enough people get tired of that behavior, you might end up on your very own blockchain fork one day. Of course, for the protocol to change at all, and for any reason would generally end up producing large forks, which is a major downside of the BTC system, and of the fact that it's experimental.
If you are dealing with piddly small amounts like that, you can deal with waiting longer for fee-free transactions to be processed by generous nodes. |

@evoorhees: It's not that I don't know how to accept bitcoin as payment, but rather that in order to accept bitcoins, I first need to have the capital to purchase the rings with regular currency. The rings are then shipped to me (usually within about 3 weeks), and I need to ship them on to customers that wish to purchase using BTC. I have done this and lost a fair amount of money in the process due to BTC price fluctuations, and I simply can't afford to lose any more money in the same way. If people buy in Dollars or Euros from Shapeways, the rings get shipped straight to them without me having to act as the middleman and risk losing money due to price fluctuations, and I don't have to cover the unnecessary cost of extra shipping - it works out way cheaper for the buyers that way.
I realise that very few people are going to want to buy a bitcoin ring with Dollars or Euros, and that is why I haven't been promoting them. In retrospect, it probably wasn't the most well thought out business venture, granted, but it is what it is, and for the moment the rings are available from Shapeways for Dollars or Euros, and they may or may not be available for purchase in BTC in the future - I can't make any promises.
If you want to make a business of it, and even sell other things, you should look at Bit-pay.com - they take care of the fluctuation risk for you, for a ~3% fee. Customer sends bitcoins, you get cash in your bank. |

Let's say, hypothetically, that I had this "friend." Let's say this hypothetical friend had super powers much like a theoretical rainman-style, although mute, kid on a possibly terrible new Fox action-drama staring a one-style-fits-all actor, who coincidentally has a fellow actor father that possesses acting chops that far surpass his own with a last name of Sutherland.
So, hypothetically remember, this mute kid might leave an etch-a-sketch laying around with the words, "16 boards, vertical orientation, in a 10"x24" area."
All that trouble to describe a diagram. I would like to give nedbert9 an award, but I'm still trying to figure out which one is most appropriate. The Golden Sphincter Award. You've earned it, nedbert9. |

Dual relays are pretty much useless for anyone with a farm. I have 8 going on 12 rigs. giga has 32 rigs.
I have 18 rigs (*starts dreaming about 32 rigs for a second). 3 per 208v 20amp circuit. 6 take care of the GPU rigs and the computer running the singles. The other 2 are for, well, more BFL equipment. My thinking was to chop up the power cords and place the serial relays inline, but I can see that that would be a pain for so many machines. In a dual PSU rig, it is only necessary to switch off the first PSU (the one that powers the motherboard), and not both, so an SPDT relay would be all that is needed. It is a good idea to use SPDT, because then you can connect the rigs across the normally closed terminal and leave the relays in the "off" position unless you want to power cycle a rig. Less wear and tear. |
