I hadn't started the client up in a week and when I did it just showed 99% which didn't give me any useful information at all
about how long it was going to take to finish downloading the blockchain.  New progress bar is fail! 

Yes.

It is like bitcoin has so little going for it that we have to come up with craaazy schemes and campaigns to get people interested in it.
It will no doubt only cause people to think it is the latest snakeoil fad that the marketers have come up with to fleece the masses.  

And btw... what did you expect? Are you going to invite her to the SA forums next?  
That is all on you bro.

I know she is a human being...  I have my doubts about some of the rest of you.    

I am not saying they are freaks, but they are no doubt seen that way by the general "normal" public and which makes them valuable to scumbag
marketers and the like.  I consider myself a freak... but I am not going to let any advertiser hang a sign on me to try and make a profit for
himself and his clients.  The seeking to be "normal" ... to fit in with the average crowd... I see as more of an affliction than what most freaks
suffer.  

Nana, the Homeless, and Paris friggin Hilton?  Ya lets go all out for that freak show appeal... no offense to them but I am disgusted
by the marketing mentality that takes advantage of them and degrades us all...

What good does it do besides providing the chance to show everyone how clever one is?
 
I am glad that Satoshi was not so insecure and chose to stay anonymous and allow bitcoin
to stand on its own merits.  

Yup, something like having a raffle without any limits on the tickets sold, which would allow someone to know what kind of chance they had of winning...
big profits from getting small amounts from hordes of suckers.  

Why stop at birthdays...  there is also: other holidays; anniversaries; weddings; graduations; valentines day; bar mitzvahs; etc. etc.

Imagine if we could get the tooth fairy interested in using bitcoins!

I fail to see the wisdom ( or coherency, frankly ) in your statements. No doubt it is because I am encumbered by all this damned life experience.  

You nihilists are all alike.  You only go half-way ( which, as you guessed, is better than a lot, if not most, people who barely get started ).
You only see everything as nothing and empty because you never leave your own head.
 
There is a real world out here, believe it or not.  Beyond dogma, yes... and also beyond the conceits of assuming that all there is is
what can be held in ones philosophies, and if they are vacant then all must be.      

How's that for a spew of over-educated pretentious shithead tripe.    

I get no confirmation message.  I can't remember what email I originally used... will have to try it with another one until I find the right one I suppose...

/edit  Okay found the right email addy I used... got my pass changed. Thanks. 

I have tried many times now.

The password reset page says:
"Forgotten your password? Enter your e-mail address below, and I'll e-mail instructions for setting a new one."

I input my email address ( and it isn't some gmail one or similar, and I have checked the trash folder to make sure it didn't get marked as spam and
moved there ) and I have yet to receive anything to let me change my password.

Or is it the worker password one sets on the Edit Worker page one needs to reset?

I have been trying for a while now. I haven't gotten the email that page says will be sent to allow one to do that.

try this:
-d0 -v -w128 -f35

You may still get between 5 - 8 % stales but that is the best I have been able to do after trying different values.

That doesn't work. You mean like this:

um... something like this?



 

Anyone have some good examples they would like to share?   

That was never the main purpose of the registry, and the idea of it being so expensive to run I would suggest is Conservative propaganda.
If that is the source of your "facts" then there is perhaps no reason for me continue, but I would just add, based on stats ( something that
the neocons clearly have no use for ), that if those cops you talked to were against the registry then I would suggest they were in the
minority(among police members) nation wide... not that I am a big fan of police forces and giving them more powers... just pointing out things
that show the lies and hypocrisy of Harper.    

I am not a Liberal btw, in case you may think these are just partisan attacks on my part.
I am no supporter of the NDP or the Greens here in Canada either.  


I didn't call gun owners rednecks, let alone 'all' gun owners, and I didn't say that 'all' Conservative supporters were rednecks either.
But they make up a large percentage of the Conservative base in the prairies, at least. I live in the bible belt of Canada... I live with and
work with rednecks everyday; dyed-in-the-wool conservatives. They don't consider "redneck" to be an insult but proudly call themselves that.  

 

I won't spend much time on this either but will just say that more than anything it shows the hypocrisy of Harper and neocons here.
They keep saying how they are all for supporting the police etc. etc.  but the police say that registry was a very effective tool
they had. And in terms of waste of money... well that money was already spent, and now the cons are just throwing everything
away despite protests from law enforcement agencies and many many other groups.  Why not keep everything that was already
collected even if they didn't want to keep the program going?  The only reason Harper is against it is because it was a Liberal thing...
and it also plays to their base of redneck supporters who will always vote for conservatives when they 'talk' about being
for the little guys, even though time after time they show they are only about being for Big Corporations and the Military.  

But I don't care much about that gun registry either way.  

The Liberals sure shot themselves in the foot in the last election by not letting it drop as an issue, instead of focusing instead on
the Harper government's contempt of Parliament, democracy and the Canadian people... their lack of transparency and accountability...
the bloating of government with all the new positions he added ( despite the traditional conservative view of 'less government is better
government' ) the waste of taxpayer money on promoting the Conservative party... the movement towards a more belligerent and
militaristic foreign policy...  I could go on and on, but to save time one might look at what G.W. Bush did and/or attempted to do
down south, and the ideology of Leo Strauss on which it was/is based, to see where Harper intends to take Canada.  

Registration, like one does with their cars, is another matter. Helping to make people responsible for the guns they buy.
You are perhaps a Canadian like I am and disagree with the neocon Harper killing the gun registry.


No, but something like "Its your money. Do what you want with it"  would work for me.   

If someone commits an illegal act... murder or assault etc. then charge them for 'that'.

The fact that someone owns this or that type of currency shouldn't be cause to assume
they will commit an illegal or immoral act.
