Is anybody going to pussy out because now this bounty represent 15 K USD?
probably, maybe we should just collect that amount in USD (at the time of pledge).
4902  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Mining past 95% probability... at what point should I suspect a problem? on: May 15, 2011, 03:22:19 PM
I think you may be misreading your hash/sec number. If gethashespersec returns 640000, you aren't getting "640000 khash/s". You are getting 640000 hps = 640 khps (640000/1000).

In order to reach 95% probability, you'll need to run for 8483 days.  :/
this

Unless you have a very high-end video card, you won't be able to get that hash rate.

Why do you have to come from the US? I'm from canada, and craigslist works fine from here. oh, and i'll post for $0.10 per ad.

Canada should be fine. I'll send you a PM shortly.

I'm just trying to warn that Nigerian IP addresses and the like probably won't work for this Smiley

I'm already getting people started on this. I'm guessing people will update their prices once they get a feeling for how easy/hard this is.
how hard could it be lol
captcha is hard Sad

4906  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: easy protection from a trojan attack on: May 14, 2011, 05:55:54 PM
this only works if the drive is not mounted when the trojan is active. so it's pretty much useless.

    "difficulty" : 290.98376578,                 <---- Has it gone down it is it my fault for using the old version?
difficulty is just like bitcoin. if the block generation speed is too slow, it's decreased.

2.5 btc x 8.4/btc (mtgox) = $21. that's more expensive than buying directly from steam!

A few people were selling 50 namecoins for 1BTC when BTC was worth $2. What can 1BTC buy now? 150 NCs?
actually, 200 namecoins :p
4911  Other / Obsolete (selling) / Re: Selling Namecoins [Lowest Prices!] on: May 12, 2011, 11:32:34 PM
I'll buy some more from you since you were my original choice. Smiley My BTC is reserved for someone else right now, but after I get his product and pay him, I'll buy some more bitcoins and send them over to you.
ok, contact me when you have the btc Smiley
4912  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Stop building mining rigs people!!!!! on: May 12, 2011, 10:12:03 PM
Skynet killed because its designers killed and the tendencies emerged in the software (or if you wanna go scifi, the hardware).

Nothing to worry about.

If the mining rigs ever become self-consistent, they will attack the federal reserve and blame it on Anonymous, which Anons will have a hard time not agreeing with.
how exactly does hashing result in intelligence? That's like saying all of the calculators in the world will become sentient.
4913  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: 3 Transactions unconfirmed after ~15 hours but new ones ok on: May 12, 2011, 09:51:00 PM
Is there a way to set a transaction fee for payouts from a pool?  I know you can set transaction fees from your bitcoin wallet, but it seems like a majority of the trouble is with transactions not happening from websites, etc.

Are transaction fees something that the pools/websites need to implement themselves to be able to give the user the option?

If there isn't an easy way to ensure that transactions go through quickly, it could be a real deal-killer for bitcoin.  There's far too many people complaining of transactions taking days to happen.  Even for free transactions, that's just ridiculous.  I understand the point about spam, but something needs to be done to ensure that legitimate transactions aren't waiting for more than a couple of hours, in ALL cases.
most pools include their payments into the blocks they generate. so no fees are needed.
4914  Bitcoin / Mining / Why is everyone defecting slush's pool? on: May 12, 2011, 08:47:05 PM
in the past 2 weeks, slush's pool has decreased dramatically, while deepbit is having a surge of users. any idea what's causing this?
4915  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Why is our hashing power declining? on: May 12, 2011, 08:42:31 PM
because the difficulty increase made it unprofitable for those miners, so they stopped.

How about Torrentflux and Rapidleech?
Sorry, I can't provide either of these services.
but do you allow those services to be hosted?

Hi, I work for the DMS, specifically the CTD, and we've been authorized by the DMSEDWWSOE to confiscate all of your belongings and hold you indefinitely while we conduct further investigations. You have the right to piss your pants.
have a "panic" button (destroys your hard drive), and keep a backup of your wallet on a remote server.
there are people that have implemented that, especially those that are involved in highly illegal works on the internet (no, i don't mean cp, get your mind out of the gutter).

even better - truecrypt your hard drive, don't cache passwords (of course), and pull the plug when you see the feds pull up. that way, unless we're in a total police state, you should *eventually* get your stuff back.
truecrypt has a huge vulnerability: YOU. think "enhanced interrogation techniques"
