The answer is no, so don't ask. Grin

Only 6k? Then how do the high rollers play in the huge poker games there?

During the weekend, Yeh said Dwan originally bought in for around US $2.5 million against his opponent and proceeded to play heads-up No Limit Hold’em with blinds at HKD $30,000/60,000 (approximately US $4,000/$8,000). That’s around 10 times the stakes Dwan normally plays on Full Tilt Poker. http://www.pokernewsdaily.com/macau-poker-cash-games-wrap-up-tom-dwan-wins-big-16956/

Locals can bring in as much money as they want. They probably hire someone to carry their bags. Wink

It's a very bad french joke or troll.
It is someone familiar with a foreign language writing in english then using 'translate' from google or Chrome.

The gist appears to be some scheme to raise the price of bitcoins by adding double zero's to all transactions on May 12 2012. Unfortunately he is only informing Non-English speakers.

It could be some type of PsyOP by a shadow government to further Agenda 21!

Stay thirsty my friends.

Edit: That's what I get for letting my dog out, acoindr beats me to the gist.

Cgminer hangs again. Could this be an issue with Sempron CPU's? Running a Sempron 145.

So you are saying that DGM costs more to miners from day 1 until day n, when mining has become 0 fee.
How much more does DGM cost miners initially compared to the PPS worksheet above?

If you want to start anything Bitcoin for China, then you should give it a go in WenZhou where the government watches but does very little to interfere with the areas progress. This location is very progressive for businesses and currently there is a large underground economy.

A center that will monitor and act as a clearinghouse for private lending opened in Wenzhou, Zhejiang province, on Thursday under a 12-point pilot plan to reform the city's financial industry.
The center is intended to bring Wenzhou's huge, unquantified "shadow banking" system into the light of day. It has 6 million yuan ($952,000) in registered capital and 22 investors, both individuals and institutions.
It will gather, process and disseminate private lending-related information, register private loans and provide credit ratings.
The entity, to be supervised by Wenzhou's financial regulators, rents office space to private lenders. So far, seven institutions have leased space.
The center requires borrowers and lenders to submit bank transfer receipts and contracts after a loan deal is conducted through the center.
"Existence of the center will make private lending traceable and prevent a build-up of risks," said Zhou Dewen, chairman of the Wenzhou Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Development Association.
There is no authoritative figure for the scale of private lending in Wenzhou because everything's done underground, Zhou said.

675 USD or equivalent BTC.
Would have outbid this. I don't know if the difference would have cover shipping expenses difference but seems worth noting.
You did outbid liquidx ($650 in current BTC for just 2 good cards), buyer chose to sell to liquidx instead. It happens on hear all of the time. I don't buy stuff from people on this forum because it isn't fair. I look, then go to ebay. There is no transparency here and sellers cherry pick a lot.

SSN, EIN, TIN are generated by the same computer system, the numbers do not overlap. If I open a business and get an EIN (no need to be a corporation, though corporations are people) and then present it to those asking for an SSN there is no way for them to know it is not an SSN. And as for TIN's anyone can ask for those, they hand them out like candy. Not to worry though, the National ID Card will change all of that greyness and screw us all equally.

Now that DeathAndTaxes has relinquished his prized avatar, are we going to have to bear seeing a Seasonic avatar?  Tongue
455  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Need some feedback on a potential reloadable prepaid VISA program on: May 09, 2012, 08:48:38 PM
So another distributor contacted us and I think their solution is superior.

Card issue fee: $9.95 (includes first year annual fee)
Annual fee: $9.95 (on anniversary date of card)
Load fee: in negotiations but likely $1 ($0.00 for loads >$500)
ATM withdrawal: $2.50
ATM inquiry: $1.00
ATM decline: $1.00

The bad news: 
KYC & AML information required (including SSN).  Today it is simply not possible to find a US based card issuer who doesn't require SSN).  US residents only

The limits:
Initial load: $1,000
Reloads: $5,000 per day
ATM Withdraw: $1,000 per day
Purchases: $2,500 per day

The good news:
Loads are instantaneous. 

The "interesting":
They have an option of custom branded cards with a logo of our choosing.  However Mastercard must approve all logos. What are the odds someone at Mastercard will approve (or even recognize) a Bitcoin logo.

Funds can be transferred BETWEEN cardholders for a fee of $0.30.  The salesman seemed to indicate these card to card transfers are  irreversible.  When I pushed him on it he said he would get further clarification.  Funds can also be transferred to user's bank account.
This offer highlights a lack of dependency on Bitcoin as a currency and brings dependency to the use of Credit Cards and their processors. It will keep Bitcoins a hobby while these cards become the new currency. While it may be progress, I see it as backwards progress and not forward progress for Bitcoins. That said, you are doing what you feel is needed based on your experience. I hope you succeed in providing a solution that benefits Bitcoin and profit for you.

I opened a bank account without using my SSN, so an SSN is not a requirement. Wink

I liked the video, pretty cool. We also need to introduce Bitcoins into the National Education Curriculum to accelerate it's acceptance.

Do you accept Bit-Pay for purchases?
I have a decent amount of Bitcoins which are currently worth $5 each. If you were to accept payments via Bit-Pay I would utilize this to make purchases.

Sincerely,

Me

If any one else uses or is thinking of using Geeks.com to purchase computer equipment, ask them if they accept Bitcoin or utilize Bit-Pay. If enough people ask they may add more payment solutions that involve Bitcoins.

Cheers

If it is anarchy you want, then join the CIA. It is their stock in trade. They will teach you marketing skills, weapons and bomb making, interrogation,  and any other skill that can be used to be disruptive and overthrow governments (including in the US). Their goal is hell on earth.

Using 2.4.0 there seemed to be a lot of rejected, greater than 10% of accepted. I switched to 2.4.1 and now the rejected rate is less than 5% of accepted. Efficiency is 30% on average, a 50% increase over 2.3.2 with identical settings while hashing on p2pool. So far so good.
