Will it be offered in digital format?
Yes, DRM-free, I think it was agreed upon. $3/issue digital-only compared to $6/issue for print+digital.

I can confirm that, fwiw. I'd do another loan with MMM if I had the coin.

Its not the clock, its the voltage. default voltage for most 5870s is 1.175v. 1v is a huge 18% undervolt.
Or are you saying 700 Mhz doesnt work 1.175v?
I have tried to raise the voltage (which doesn't help)...

--

Yeah but he doesnt say how far.
 Many cards cant be set any voltage but only to some predefined values.  If his cards are not stable at 700 stock voltage he should state that and not post results for 700/1v.

Good point.

Try again with mem speed @ 600. Different software sometimes reports the number differently. It's possible you're running the mem speed at what would commonly be assumed is 150MHz.

May also be auto-clocking "features" enabled, perhaps in AMD's CCC?

You punished Goat by renaming him "Fussy Prick" with a picture of a woman as his avatar (the BTCTalk equivalent of a scammer tag)? ... Really?

ETA: .... .... Matt's also now "Fussy Prick"? Huh Confused.

No mate, This is me Chaang-Noi (Goat)   I did this to my own account because of the link in my sig.

I thought it was a funny joke  Cheesy
*strokes beard* Not sure if serious. If you're the real Goat, I want a timestamped picture of you with shoe on head.

Anyway, I should have the coin (depending on the amount being sought) we talked about within a couple weeks if you're still interested. Wasn't sure if I should send the message to "Fussy Prick" or not because I'm still not totally convinced you are Goat and not Maged's "other" personality having fun with accounts. I'm going to go have a cup of coffee.

They probably won't be shipped until mid-March (mostly a guess given no solid date has been given, yet).

I know various forms of this topic and have been discussed at length, but I thought it would be beneficial to hear another first hand account. After looking through 256 recent SQL injection attempts at my site I thought I'd share my experience thus far as a new bitcoin etailer.

I've been running various online retail websites for over 10 years. As many of you know, I recently started CoinedBits.com. I've been the receiver of more hack attempts in the last month at CoinedBits.com than the previous 10 years on all my other sites.

This is increasing the barrier to entry & risk for new merchants and bitcoin services, and making it harder to gain the trust of users.

This is more than a bitcoin maturity issue, the security & trust problems are larger than we want to admit. We need evolutionary security & trust changes around bitcoin to make this thing happen.

Thanks for listening.

I actually think it's a good thing.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

I'm thinking along these lines, too, and wondering if there aren't a good few white-hats doing these attacks. Funny OP mentioned the crackers never looked for the wallet.dat file. I had VNC servers compromised a few months ago, not too long after the MtGox attack. What did the invader do? Was very obvious and tried infecting one computer (which did not run the Bitcoin daemon) with adware. - And I was very confused by this at first, but I'm since started thinking they were doing a service of pointing out a very obvious security flaw in my setup which I quickly corrected. I immediately disconnected my router, but I regret not trying to communicate with him.

After the Gox attack, security improved (both in Gox and the affected users) and we're better for it. After Bitscalper's security flaw was noted, security improved and... well.... security improved. All of these attacks are bad short-term, but long-term, they make us more alert and wiser, and may be necessary for Bitcoin to continue being used 10 years from now.

Hello!

I've been trying to post with my phone but to no avail.

My old flat had a car crash into it so the last month has been pretty hectic.
Due to this loan repayments are a slight bit behind but I fully intend to pay every single loan back, don't worry.

Though, I didn't appreciate the threats I recieved from one particiular member. I could maybe understand if it was one of the people I had borrowed 50BTC from, but 10BTC and threats like that?
Holy moly.

Sorry if I made anyone worry.
I'd be interested in hearing who that was and how aggressive the threat was. Glad to hear you're okay and still intending to repay.

Any word on the status of Bitcoin London?
4732  Economy / Speculation / Re: And so it begins.. on: February 24, 2012, 02:54:34 AM
Did you just sell all your coins? I noticed the price dropped over five cents for a second. ETA: placing a leveraged short order probably more accurate :p
4733  Other / Off-topic / Re: RE: Bitcoin Magazine on: February 24, 2012, 02:47:09 AM
I'll just note I was recently surprised by how fantastic customer service by someone involved with BTC Mag was. I made a comment in a thread about magazine subscriptions, someone thought to send me a PM asking me about my address to ensure the magazine'd go to where I am instead of where I was.

The majority of people will likely buy both the car and the earphones @ Store B because in their minds, they think "$100 isn't very much in the context of a $12,000 purchase," so they aren't willing to drive all the way back for such relatively meager savings.

I completely disagree.  Most people would use the total cost of their purchase to decide where to buy, not some relative proportion.  You fell victim to the "everyone but me is stupid" disease.  It runs rampant on the internet.  Humans making rational decisions is part of the foundation of economics...


Any basis for your claim? I certainly used to do it (especially the other irrational decision people often make comparison shopping, looking at relative performance to other similar objects, then paying a high premium for something which really doesn't affect my enjoyment of the purchased item just because it performs slightly better than the much cheaper item). Basis of argument was from http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_gilbert_researches_happiness.html I believe (could've been something else he did -- I don't have time to watch it again).

My loan was actually at 20 Satoshis interest per second (works out at a bit more than 5% per month). DI incorrectly listed it as 0% interest in his table in the edited OP.
Do you know how much the total amount owed on due date is after interest?
4737  Economy / Speculation / Re: RALLY TIME!!! on: February 23, 2012, 05:35:08 AM
We can have one but it's not here yet. $4.80 and I will call a rally.
Are we close enough, now?

I know im going to get heat for this. I accept that. If you want to doubt me go ahead. To be honest i wouldnt believe it either. All i can say is google it. Its legit. They do exist. You just need to be responsible with it cause you can get in trouble.
What information should I send through my ISP? "How to use fraudulent ID to scam banks, employers, and CUs"?
4739  Economy / Digital goods / Re: Credit profile number on: February 23, 2012, 05:10:03 AM
If you're going to advertise on a Bitcoin-specific forum, perhaps you should post something more relevant... like account information for reputable members so they could take out large bogus loans.

Ignore what I said about the USD exchange rate. No way that would hold up in court and it's tedious to try to prove for each individual transaction.

Here's the current list. No other list in this thread should be considered current. Feel free to add to it with transactions you can prove. Alternately, just provide the details needed to fill out the form and I'll do it -- no problem. If lenders want to PM me their names, I'd appreciate it.
