Their arguments against it could be used against any type of money. They are afraid of us.

Works great! Nice to be able to get rid of all the command line windows cluttering up my taskbar. Only thing I noticed is all the OSD colors are hard to read except the white one.

Is there a good alternative to deepbit?

I switched to eligius a while back when I saw deepbit growing too quickly. If eligius gets too large someday I will switch again. Eventually I would like to be strictly solo but I need to earn more coins to buy more hardware so I can earn more coins and buy more hardware so I can earn more coins until the entire midwest of the united states is covered under a mountain of GPUs and spontaneously combusts into a second sun. Anyone want to invest in some windturbines/solar panels I can put up on my farm to make a totally off-grid, self sufficient mining facility? Tongue

Sounds like sour grapes. Should we confiscate the money people who invested early in Apple have made in the time since then? People that were mining back when bitcoin started could have ended up with a bunch of worthless coins or a bunch of highly valuable coins depending on if bitcoin took off. Their early support of the project has been rewarded but even if someone has 100,000 coins there is no way they could sell them all without the price plummeting. Plus this whole thing could collapse in 5 years. Who knows? I can't see the future and neither can you. Bitcoins are a high risk right now so the reward should be equally as high. Also why would you want to sell them all when you can just buy stuff using bitcoins directly? Coins from mining are a reward for supporting the network. The point of the network is an easy way of sending value to someone else without a central point of failure or control. Stop thinking oh I could have made $1,000,000 already. You have a certain amount of bitcoins which means you have a certain amount of value. If you want more bitcoins buy some or do something worth people paying you in bitcoins and quit trying to figure out how to start the game over again. You were late. Deal with it.

pretty new to mining -- started using the eu eligius pool yesterday, and for the first 12 hours the rate climbed as expected. but starting this morning the expected earning curve slowly flattens out and is now almost horizontal == no new earnings are being added at all. hashing rate has been a almost constant 240mh/s for the past 24 hours.

can anyone explain this behavior to me?

Take the total hashing power of the EU pool and figure out what fraction of that you are contributing. That will be the maximum return you can get per block after it is split up from the 50btc. You were climbing up to that percent but cannot go above that without adding more hashing power therefore increasing the percent you are contributing.

I honestly didn't think it would anger people this much. I got an email earlier from who I assume is the OP complaining about the CPU usage. It was the first message I have gotten bringing it up but I don't want to risk pissing any more people off so it is gone. Without your reputation you are nothing.

I have removed the script from BitBid. I was trying out Bitp.it's javascript miner for the last week and I should have posted a disclaimer. I apologize.

The US server seems to be down right now.

To all the people seeing coins go away that is your estimated balance. On the updated stats pages you will see a total BTC count in the page title. This includes your confirmed reward from previously found blocks (shown in green on the chart) and your estimated reward from the next block when it is found (shown in that pinkish-purple color). If you quit mining for a while your total work submitted towards the next block goes down in relation to the total work being submitted for it while you aren't mining. After you start mining for a while it will go back up as your shares submitted start getting closer to your estimated hashing power contributed to the pool.

I spent 35 on Portal 2 right before the price spike. Sad My biggest transaction was 47 for some Amazon and Newegg giftcode purchases.

494  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When the majority decides to change the rules on: May 29, 2011, 04:47:29 PM
People really don't understand how the decimal works. 21 million "coins" doesn't really matter. What matters is where you put the decimal point therefore breaking these 21 million coins into a crapload of sub "coins". People may not like seeing that they have .000045942 bitcoins but if 1btc trades for $100,000,000 you have nearly $46,000 worth of coins. Don't try to picture a bitcoins as actual coins. Picture the value each of those decimal places holds. Way into the future the total decimal places may need to be increased but that won't be a problem for a looooong time.
495  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: [MINER] Phoenix - New efficient, fast, modular miner **BFI_INT support!** on: May 29, 2011, 01:28:04 PM
i did not make a smart ass reply

i didnt exactly know what you ment but i thought you ment i might of been mining with other software so i said i definately wasnt

i just extracted the zip and ran phoenix.exe and a cmd window pops up then instantly closes

you have to run it from the command line / cmd.

Here is what I do:

Figure out what pool address and flags you want to use.

Make a txt file in the Phoenix folder with the exe and put your flags etc into it. Save and close the txt file.

Change the .txt extension to .bat and run the bat file.

Profit.

I consider myself a fiscal conservative but a social liberal. The government should help provide for the welfare of its citizens but shouldn't be wasting money on things it shouldn't have a hand in. Military spending is out of control and so are the corporate hand outs. We could easily afford for everyone to have food, shelter, and healthcare if we weren't so busy throwing money down the toilet on bombs and bailouts.
