I highly welcome and encourage you to peruse the posts in question and post your thought, if you can good Sir.
"Let me explain smalls claims courts to you:" "Oh I'm very happy to stay in the bitcoin economy. I'm minting free money on the hopes and dreams of amateur investors with the computer sitting next to me, after all..." "Paypal fees aren't that bad...hell, neither are credit card fees, really. Certainly not when compared with BTC lol." "And oh great gods of Valhalla what delicious, delicious government over-payments they are. Right now my Gubmint over-payments are outpacing my BTC mining by a wide margin, so I guess you could say I just have a diversified portfolio!" "So I guess to sum up what I'm saying is go fuck yourselves. Yep, that's pretty much it really. Go fuck yourselves, you know nothings. Good day, Sirs. Good day." "Unless you're happy jerking your pud about printing money for nothing with the rest of your "I just happened to have some powerful cards cause I'm a gamer" and "I'm getting rich cause I print money, BUY MORE CARDS, RALLY" and "This is the way of the future guys, really, I know it" bretheren, then you better hope to the fucking bitcoin god that someone more mature and a better man than you are out there trying to POLITELY educate people who don't understand it." "Hey, get the fucking point yet? They won't. They NEVER WILL. Unless you have rather extraordinary parents who are undoubtedly in a small minority." Only your first post wasn't overtly negative... "Hello all, Glad to be a new part of the bitcoin world. My current system is 1x 5770 and 1x 5830, non Crossfire. I also have a my NVIDIA card that was replaced by the AMD's. My question is, is there any way for me to plug in my NVIDIA card into my third PCI-e slot and use it to mine as well? I have already tried and when I installed the NVIDIA drivers it broke OpenCL and guiminer could no longer see my AMD cards. I'm wondering if anyone else has gotten this to work... Also, damn this OpenCL bug pegging cores. I hope everyone affected has notified AMD of their folly! Thanks everyone!" And the time difference between your first post and your first negative post was nine minutes. Did you have some kind of amazing epiphany in those nine minutes? Suddenly discover that it's all a scam? Troll. Probably professionally. Then you should have acted on your opinion. Instead you punish non-trolls and trolls alike, then merely threaten him in the newly established noob forum? I find your moderation style ineffectual, weak and self-serving. Ban him or don't but hwy the discussion about it first? Mods don't have the power to ban users, only recommend users to be banned. That's a power reserved for the admins. Nor do I have the power to alter the forum rules. I'm only a mod, not a god. |

Troll. Probably professionally. No offense bud, but judging from those posts he should have been warned and subsequently banned long ago. He was. Those were the posts that didn't call for deletion. I was not the one who imposed that punishment, nor the one who overrode it. |

I can understand that bitcoins are getting popular and there are better things to do then mod the forums all day, However if you don't like the rules you do have the right to start your own forums for bitcoin. I will be doing the same, I'm creating an official website for my Mining Farm web front-end where mining pool operators and noobs can come and chat about everything bitcoin with out restrictions, I'll keep you guys posted when the site is up.
Great we'll be on the lookout. I bet you will. |

Again, any mod worth his salt could have easily locked threads, banned accounts, whatever.
This is the first good thought you've had. It goes against my instincts, but I guess your right, it is time to ban you for trolling. |

Added to that, you think too highly of yourself. This is a forum about bitcoin, not bitcoin itself. The new rules don't exist to prevent you from talking your book, even though that is still bad form.

What is wrong with a +/- system that allows the experienced users vote crappy posts out of existence as opposed to leaving an entire forum up to the mood of the mod that happens to be on duty?
We tried that one back a few weeks ago. Users abuse the rating system to punish those whom they disagree with, rather than just those whose posts are offtopic or offensive. Trying to keep a liberal forum works well when the vast majority of the users are libertarians or similar, as libs don't desire to overtalk our detractors, which is just about everyone. We're kinda used to that. But the signal to noise ration on this forum has dropped to unacceptable levels. |

Limiting expression is not our style. This was put in place due to an influx of trolls and scammers as a direct result of the media attention and the army of co-ops who think that the rest of us don't know that they work for Chuch Schumter. All of these accounts have less than 50 posts, and we know that to can be messed with. This is only a temporary measure. Please stay tuned.

I'm ready! I don't mine anyway!
Haha, you're an investor then? Yup, daytrading is easy here. I ratched up a $100 starting pot up over ten times in the past 6 weeks, and I just bought back in again. I expect to sell again by Tuesday. Eventually, users are going to start noticing the patterns, and the price movements will not be nearly as profitable or predictable; but for me mining was never a likely endeavor. |

Agreed. There are a lot of people that don't believe in BTC and they need to be kicked off the forum. They do not believe and they do not believe in BTC.
It's not a religion. I'm not going to censor anyone because they are shortsighted or error prone. |

I have a rudimentary design right now. It is the circuit in gate array format that I designed. It is not a final design by any means, but it allows me to identify the key bottlenecks of the system, calculate gate propagation, maximum clock speed, etc. So what I have from this is; 8MHz clock, 1 hash per clock, and 100 pipelines. This could fit on low volume production run for 27$ / ASIC from TSMC. You then need to add the cost of shipping, putting it on a PCB board and add a controller, + design cost for the lithography. So basically, 800 Megahash/s, for 57$ or so (+ design costs spread across the production line). And that is without the optimization to the main bottleneck (a 7 input adder) that I am working on. So it is encouraging.
You can easily add 4-5 ASIC on each PCB board improve the Hash/$ ratio. So, with 5 ASIC per board, you would get 4GIGAHASH/s for 165$ (+ design cost). (the price of a 5850). Essentialy it makes gpu mining obselite.
Absolutely impossible. Maybe, maybe not. Those who wanted to mine on GPU's didn't think to highly of the claims of a single ATI 5830 getting 100 times the hash rate that a high end cpu could get either. I'm going to reserve judgement until I see some physical hardware. |

The free software foundation would be a good test subject.

This topic has been worked to death. Search the forum for "dash7", "near field communications" and "the vending machine problem".

both excellent points.
and even if hoarders just cash out to buy a house and a ferrari, it's peanuts next to the wealth created by finally having a currency that doesn't inflate. they richly deserve whatever rewards they get. even if bitcoin fails I wont regard early adopters as scam artists. they invested their time and money at great risk to try and get a new system off the ground.
And those same early adopters can expect to be rewarded relative to the risk and efforts they put into it. Consider the teenager who convinced his parents to let him sell their alpaca wool as socks for bitcoin. That relatively simple action brought new business to their family farm, and also likely set that teen up for a very bright future in the process. |

well i was mining on an old shitting video card where i would get like 0.05 / day so that represented a few weeks of daily 0.05 /day payments.
No, that would mean that you had about ten inputs for each transaction. That shouldn't be enough to throw you into the 'large transaction' rule. |

It's a shame that LRC couldn't manage to wrap their heads around Bitcoin before posting this.
It's astounding how many people state that Bitcoin is worthless because they did not value its initial state. I valued it because it was cool (and should have paid more attention with BTC I bought/earned). Now I value it because it will revolutionise the world. Trading shiny lumps of metal is no more fundamental than transaction announcements. They're both pretty good. I look forward to when we can trade gold based predominantly on its industrial value. They also tend to forget gold's initial use value was little more than "ooooh, shiny!" Gold's initial "use value"? was a lot more than that. Gold has over a dozen properties that make it an excellent store of value over other resources. This is true, and why gold became that preferred market money for thousands of years. But Regression theorem requires a use value to exist before it's properties as a good money could matter. Since gold was money long before the bronze age, and is too soft and heavy for weaponry, it's initial use value was highly limited at the time. Basicly, some warrior-king's most favored wife saw some gold and desired it for it's beauty, so the king desired it to keep momma happy. So basicly, "Ooooh, shiny!" Bitcoin's initial use value was it's potential to be a good medium of exchange as compared to current online offerings; and it's first monetary use was basicly a 10K BTC pizza. |
