The forum banned referral links, and removed images from signatures. Spammers have shown the next step is for the signatures to have ALL BBcode markup stripped, nothing needs to be 24 point red.
How bad does it need to get? The answer: as bad as it already is.

Newbie forum is getting crapped all over by this stuff too, which could be a real turn-off for new Bitcoin users.
There could be a new Newbie->Alt-Coin sub forum to let noobs post in, and alt-talk in the main noob forum is a test to see if you can read a sticky or get k-lined.

Windows key + R; type CMD and press enter, then you can run a command line program and see an error.
Guiminer is old and unmaintained. You should use maintained command-line utilities, not a gui that runs old versions for you.

for you: 502.91419 * 3300 / 1418481395 = 0.00117 BTC/day = $1 / day. They'll probably pay for themselves in two months with difficulty increasing. |

That 1995 HTML hurts my brain.
Tell them that their own lack of credential security does not obviate them from financial obligations. They can get 1.8 BTC in a few hours on localbitcoins.com.

No it is not. You never now who is on the same network as you / or what is being logged.
VPN is a valid protection, as your traffic is encrypted from the start (so the hotel can't log anything, except your connection to the vpn endpoint)
Not sure what to do about the mobile devices that start checking email and everything the instant they connect to a wifi hotspot... you connect to VPN manually afterward. You get a Blackberry. Everything goes encrypted from the device back to Blackberry servers for messaging, IP exits from data centers in the Midwest or Canada. |

Who needs an exe? Try removing all the pip and egg installs (or just delete your Python directory and reinstall Python), and install all the Python extension packages that you require from here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpyYou can also make an exe using cython, here's the compile for my Python paper wallet creator, after a few hours of installing and updating MSVC++: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat"
C:\Python27\python.exe C:\Python27\Scripts\cython.py paperwal.py --embed
cl.exe /nologo /Ox /W3 /GS- /DNDEBUG -Ic:\Python27\include -Ic:\Python27\PC /Tcpaperwal.c /link /OUT:"paperwal.exe" /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE /MACHINE:X86 /LIBPATH:c:\Python27\libs /LIBPATH:c:\Python27\PCbuild Here's a generic setup.py for py2exe, just change the obvious stuff: from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe, sys, os
sys.argv.append('py2exe')
setup(
options = {'py2exe':
{'optimize': 2,
'bundle_files': 1,
'compressed': True,
},
},
console = ['paperwal.py'],
zipfile = None,
version="1.1.0",
description="Secure Address Generator",
author="deepceleron",

Remember, 40% of the hashrate makes you $1.2M+ a day, at today's exchange rate. You don't screw with the currency that is bringing in that much money. ghash.io are also merge mining Namecoin with it's 1B difficulty, maybe other alts. They could be 50% of Namecoin. Makes $500,000 in ASIC die fees seem like chump change.  |

IF there is actual bitcoin data in there, yes. Unless jgarzik finally gets around to extending the python script to deterministically also create torrent infohashes from blockchain data, I'd rather take no chances though.
Please publish the SHA256 & MD5 of the final bootstrap.dat file that you created to 279000. I will be able to tell you if it can be independently created by others with identical data. I can recreate jgarzik's from network-downloaded blocks. Blockchain data is fully signature-checked for all blocks since the last code checkpoint. This means that CPU, and not network bandwidth, is usually the limiting factor processing blocks 250,000 and on. It is not really beneficial to download more data before getting the Bitcoin CPU work started, which is why the torrent corresponds with the checkpoint. |

Do I have to navigate to the directory before running the -salvagewallet command?
Hi, you would just go to the program directory where the Bitcoin executable file is installed, and type ./bitcoin-qt -salvagewallet or if it is in the path, you can just type from any directory in a terminal window: bitcoin-qt -salvagewallet As for going to the data directory to make a copy of the wallet.dat, you can do that in finder: That folder is now invisible in Lion. You can go there by entering a path in Go -> Go To Folder or by holding down option while the Go menu is open and then choose Library (which will disappear from that menu if you let go of option).optionally, you can unhide the folder: If you need to access the ~/Library folder from within an application, you can make the folder permanently visible. Just open Terminal and type in:
chflags nohidden /Users/[username]/Library/
Replace [username] with your user name(!) and hit return. Then you can quit Terminal and your user Library folder will be visible.
BTW, I do not use a mac, but I know how to use Google. |

A wallet is a term used for Bitcoin software that manages multiple addresses and is connected to the internet so you can conveniently send. What you seem to be looking for is a way to generate a single address and private key combination that is not online and therefore not hackable. While "paper wallet" is commonly used for this, a better term is a "cold storage address". I have an address generator here, with some simple instructions of how to boot of a live cd to run it on a secure computing platform. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=361092You can also download the bitaddress.org html page and run it offline to generate an address, but you should use the same precautions, run it off a clean pc that can't be hacked and where the address will never be saved. |

The difficulty is recalculated every 2016 blocks - every 2 weeks if mining is constant and returns the expected six blocks an hour (edit, fixed stoopidity).
This causes inconvenience when the hashrate drastically drops, as happened to Namecoin about two years ago when 90% of the miners quit after mining the heck out of it while it was profitable. Other formulas could be more adaptive, such as reducing the time between adjustments, or readjusting every block based on a similar look-back, but Bitcoin itself is not likely to change.

The salvage wallet operation makes a new recovered wallet, but before it makes changes, you should do your own backup first - just in case it goes wrong. Make a copy of the wallet.dat file in the data directory first. ~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/

You should make a backup copy of your wallet.dat file, and then try restarting with the command-line option -salvagewallet. Alternately, you can restore a wallet.dat backup - you do have a backup, right?

Type "arbitrage" in the search box.
You'd have to figure out how to get your fiat out of mtgox and into another exchange in less than six months.
