Uhm, the BOINC client and infrastructure should be GPGPU ready too for some time now, right?  |

I also don't really like "begging" in signatures, however I got a request by someone that he/she specifically wanted to donate me some bitcents - so I put a new address in my sig (but as you can easily check - no tips yet). I don't expect anything to go in there though and I also do not tip myself. If it makes people happy though, I'm the last person to say "no" to free money!
I like it much more anyways if people sign up with my Tradehill referral (even though the situation seems a bit weird there - asks of 22 and bids of 20 and a tiny trade every hour... even though fees are lower than on MtGox?!) and I hope that in the future I get a few "tips" this way - while even also helping people that sign up using this, as they also pay less fees.

I have a similar issue. But I just run two pools at the same time at the same aggression. It seems to work out fine for me you just don't have Primary or Secondary. It just distributes it when both are up and when one goes down it just distributes all work to that one.
Me too - in theory I could run a miner for each of the bigger pools out there and reduce variance with this significantly as I would earn a little bit on every block these pools find. |

if i go to a website and suddenly my pc starts to load i would leave. just my 2 cents...
If your PC starts any Java applet on the web, it won't be long until it is not just YOUR PC any more...  This isn't Javascript! Anyways, is the backend code also Open Source, so I can host my own pool server for this? |

Or at the underlying technology: http://burp.renderfarming.net/I would gladly render anything for you (my PC has 16 GB of RAM, which might make things there a bit easier as well - many bitcoin nodes just have 1 GB and weak CPUs) for a price per hour that is slightly higher than I would get for mining bitcoins (atm. 300 MH/s give me in theory 0.02216035 BTC, so I would charge a straight 0.025BTC/hour). Cinema 4d licenses are expensive though, maybe take a look at free rendering engines like luxrender. |

Umgekehrt geht das mit "Buy" (= BTC kaufen) natürlich genauso. |

Currently the chart on the site is more or less useless (thanks to the 2 jerks who put up the 500/1 and 999.9/2 asks... -.-')
Does anyone already have something like mtgoxlive mashed up on a quick website? The charts on bitcoincharts might look nice, but they don't really show individual orders on mouseover, one of the features I love most about mtgoxlive...

MAKE AN TRANSPARENT EXCHANGE
You saw yesterday what happens when someone puts up an open sell order... Also I didn't see any mention of dark pools on Tradehill so far, try them maybe. |

I use NMC, but it's just intuition more or less, haven't seen any conventions yet really. Hopefully the namecoin exchange is soon listed on http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/ (they would just need to publish their trades + order book in JSON!) |

If you have USD, put up a buy order for whatever you think will be the bottom line (like 14 USD, 10 USD or whatever), if you have BTC sell immediately for whatever it's worth atm (~20 USD?) and then put up a sell order for whatever you think will be the low point. It could however swing in the other direction as well, with huge buys, a swing to 30(?) and then backfire again with the sales...

Put up your offers on https://bitoption.org/ - there you can NOT wiggle yourself out (PGP nice and fair, but as long as I don't have a lot of RL data I can't sue you anyways). I like this idea, but how can I set what rate i want to payout for each btc invested? I dont see how this can help besides giving someone the option to trade the option. Just read the help function or ask in the forum for details. There are some explanations here, for example: https://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=9611.120I strongly warn ANYONE of making deals just based on some PGP certificate (like on OTC). Bitoptions are backed by bitcoins/USD on MtGox, so they are far more secure for this kind of deal. |

NameTcoin?! Anyways, the BTC<-->NMC exchange is just open since ~1 week, so there's not much to know there about price developments. I expect the value of NMC to be roughly the ratio between BTCdifficulty/NMCdifficulty. (see also: http://dot-bit.org/tools/nextDifficulty.php) Also I guess a lot of miners will flee to Namecoin once BTC drops down to 25 BTC/block, destroying prices there and then coming back to BTC and vice versa... It heavily depends on future developments if Namecoins will even be worth ANYTHING. Currently it's a nice supplementary currency to Bitcoin. Maybe it would even pay off to buy Namecoin which are currently overpriced but might be cheap compared to future difficulty ratios - who knows? |

Frozen again... And it's 2 am in Japan.
Poor them!  Well, time to trade a bit on Tradehill!  |

My issue with all of this is, that the hadware spec won't be Open Source, only the finished ("compiled") chips should be sold.
Sorry, but this approach creates a centralized entity again. If it's really so hard and expensive anyways to produce ASICs, you could open source the hardware plan anyways, as there won't be someone else to copy it who has not a few million bucks to play with.
I won't develop (or help developing) anything that in the end will only output a centralized miner chip that noone can audit (who says this design I implement doesn't use 10% of it's power to submit my private shares?) or improve. It is my believe that as much about Bitcoin as possible should be open source - this includes miners in software AND hardware!

Until you have your BTC from biparking in your account and then on MtGox or on another exchange it'll take 1-2 hours. Currently 2 hours make a difference of ~5 USD/BTC! |

Dude! Putting Namecoin in there will only make the NMC economy (and hash rate) explode like there's no tomorrow!  It is a TINY network, compared to BTC at the moment and what's worse: I don't know of any exchange where you can sell Namecoin for USD! Giving the BTC value in USD for NMC is a bit misleading - please at least state that you'd get x BTC for 100MH/s mining Namecoins wich would then be worth y USD on MtGox. |

That "single account" may very well have been a receiving address provided by MtGox. If so, those BTC will sit there up until the point MtGox uses that transaction to pay off a future withdrawal.
Hardly, did you even look at it on blockexplorer? These BTC were mined! Some as early as 2009... |
