lol this explains a lot: I agree, I think we should be done with the bitcoin community. They are obviously a bunch of fools, and embrace the goodness that is Litecoin. Infact, we should probably integrate a feature in the litecoin client where it blocks anyone who has Bitcoin running or owns any bitcoin addresses!  Cryptowar for the future!!! Rawr! |

Uhm, litecoin is essentially the same as bitcoin...
Then why don't you take out your litecoin endorsement in your signature line? Might as well take out the BTC donation address too... since you have no use for it. |

I fully support and encourage any voluntary certification program that establishes the identity, location, reputation, and trustworthiness of a specific vendor.
However, I oppose any certification program that establishes AML or KYC compliance... these are statist standards that have nothing to do with respectability nor trustworthiness of the vendor (and nothing to do with protecting customers). They have everything to do with obedience to government, and breaching privacy between two voluntarily contracting parties.
To use Coinabul as the example here: I want them to provide the goods they promise. I do not want them to spy on customers and report that information to governments wishing to steal property.
So Gox - you get a +1 for creating a certification program, but -1 for lumping AML/KYC nonsense into that certification.
Hear, hear! |

As soon as my deposit to GLBSE confirms, I'll buy a share. (I've never dealt with GLBSE before...) EDIT: bought 1 share ASIC.COOP 1 1.0 2012-07-08 13:34:00 |

I ordered a subscription a few weeks ago, and haven't seen anything yet, but I assume that that is par for the course?
What country? If it's Germany, Sweden, Denmark or Australia, yes. If not, email info@bitcoinmagazine.co.uk and see what's up. Email sent. |

Ok. I'm trying to do this "ZipZap" payment stuff and it says I will receive ~$48.00 worth of BTC for a $50 order, but then when I begin to jump through ZipZap's hoops, I am told that I must pay $53.95, instead of the $50 I had expected to pay from earlier.
This seems pretty damn sketchy that I can't even be informed from the outset what charges I will incur.
I was going to complete the deal, but how do I know when I get to the cashier, they won't ask me for $60?
Buying bitcoins at walmart *sounds* nice, but I've found that in practice, it's actually quite a pain in the ass.
The deposit slip you get from zipzap has the final amount you will need to pay - sadly we do not know in advance what the fees from zipzap will be and so can only tell you what we ask for from zipzap. I see. That is unfortunate, as it is confusing, misleading, and a nuisance to customers and potential customers. So, when I try to make a $50 order, I must pay a total of $53.95 to receive $47.005 in bitcoins? Does BitInstant accept money orders directly, so that customers might be able to cut down the spread some by avoiding the ZipZap charge? |

I assume your friend copied and pasted the address exactly, and did not accidentally include any spaces?

it's not moving like it was a couple days ago. Maybe he's telling you that you need a new avatar I tried re-plugging in the GIF URL, but no joy. This is the worse day of my life. I'm going to kill myself. ~Cackling Bear~ Bruno, is that you or did you let a bunch of internet kids and your fake internet girlfriend on your account? At least my fake girlfriend doesn't fake organisms. (I reserve the right to delete this post after I think about it a spell) Organisms are generally quite difficult to fake. |

Also, I believe you want the Detach Database at Shutdown tick box ticked under the options if you want to use the wallet on a different system. If I am wrong, correct me.
I believe that only applies to the blockchain. That is to say, you cannot use the blockchain on a different system, but the wallet is always detached, which means you can always move the wallet (after closing the client first, or after using the backup wallet feature). |

Maybe the Amish?
LOL! bitcoin could present a moral paradox for the Amish? 'to use the voluntary non-violent currency of the future, or continue using to the slave paper of the past?' If I was Amish, I would quietly opt for bitcoin. Casascius coins FTW!  some casascius coins should be headed my way here soon |

Another good bet is on newegg. They sell pre-made computers that have much more umph than at best buy.
I got the impression the OP didn't want to wait for shipping from an online store, and instead needed something immediately. If this is not the case - or you are able to pick up from their Southern California store - then Newegg is a great choice for whitebox, brand name or parts! I really appreciate all the input here, but the above poster is correct. I need to get something today, buy Quickbooks again, reinstall it, and hopefully recover my company file so I can do payroll this week. So I'm going to need to settle for something from a big box store within an hour. I've been to a couple stores, and the "best" graphics cards based on my limited knowledge appear to be: - AMD HD 7450 - AMD HD 6530D - AMD HD 6410D Out of those three meager options, which would be the best for mining? Would any of them work? I'm not trying to make a super duper mining rig, I just need a new work computer that will run Quickbooks and that I can get at a local store here. Thanks for all the help to everyone who offered it; I will keep your thoughts in mind when I replace my home computer. |

Your best bet for mining is to make sure the computer you buy has a discrete video card from AMD. Not just onboard video!! The rest of the system can be almost anything else.
It would probably be the 6 or 7 series to get the most out of it. Shoot for a system that has a 7950 in it and you should golden.
Thanks. I have been looking for ones with AMD graphics cards, but the ones I'm seeing are "AMD Radeon HD 6530D", "6410D", and "7450". Are any of these good enough? Or just ones that start with 58.., 59.., 68.., 69.., 79.. ? I need to buy a new computer this week anyway, so I figured I'd ask the great minds of the forum here if there were any computers available, that are available in a local Best-Buy-type store, that have decent enough GPUs straight from the store? Or do the desktops like the ones I'm seeing on Best Buy's site all sell with GPUs that aren't suitable for mining, and one must purchase a better GPU separately and then install it and a new power supply or whatever?
Obviously I'm not a huge miner or anything, nor a gamer or super techy person, but since I need a new computer, I thought I might as well give it a shot as long as I don't have to install anything other than mining software.
tl;dr - what's a decent computer that's ready to mine that's for sale at my local Best Buy or somewhere?
If you are serious about getting into mining, I would highly suggest building your own system instead of buying some off the shelf system from a big box store. Building a system isn't that hard, and allows you to upgrade it as you need. Most off the shelf systems are not very upgradeable, if at all. There are several people here that could put together a parts list for a great system for everyday use while being able to mine also. What price range are you looking to spend? Thanks for your input! Perhaps when I look to buy a new home computer I'll try to take on building it myself. Unfortunately, I am a little pressed for time, as I need this computer for work (to replace the current PC after its suddenly died today), so I will likely have to make my purchase at a big box store to have it in time. I am looking to spend around $600-$1000. |
