Thanks for the news SG, it's interesting how close the USGov is willing to go without going all the way. Another issue that will help GLBSE is that it's operations are not based inside the U.S., what will not help GLBSE is that we use a .com domain name, which the U.S. government has deemed enough to consider a website in it's jurisdiction.
Would migrating to something like a .me domain eliminate that liability? |

It's very easy to setup proper Bitcoin loans, just use same way those pay day loans work, take ID, have the persons contact details and do it all properly.
I will do loans of upto 200 BTC per person.
13% of amount loaned for no more than 14 days, so you borrow 100 BTC say 1st Jan and Pay Back 113 BTC on the 14th Jan.
Very easy. ID required and as I say works same process like payday loans, you don't see them giving out loans without ID etc.
Inbox If you want a loan.
Uhhh.... So you'll give me 200BTC if I just scan a copy of ID you have no way of verifying? |

I believe my deposit (CD) terms are now adequate to function as I'd like without problem. I'd appreciate review, comments, criticisms. I should be ready to issue CDs and loans again within a week. (Edit: Might not be back by 29th)
(and thanks for the sticky!)

I've accepted collateral, but have so far never demanded a title. The last deal I did had (by his addition) associated lawyer costs covered by the lendee in case of damages collection due to contract violation.
It's not particularly efficient, and often not an option with BTC loans due to the parties involved being so far away, and frequently in different counties.
Fun fact fwiw: BTC loans without title demands are often lower in cost than typical US car title loans, and certainly aren't nearly as punitive in fees (for the few lenders who employ a fee system).

All the cards that have mined at 24/7 work fine as miners but all show artifacts when used in gaming. Is this anyone else's experience?
I don't think it's supposed to happen, for some percentage, yes, but not for all, unless it is some unlucky batch or something was overheating (GPU/MEM/VRM). A faulty PSU delivering high voltages could also damage GPU(s). +1. Worth noting your overclocks will likely not be stable in gaming because it's using more of your card (probably same case with underclocks if you're undervolting). I've been mining since April '11 and still use the cards in a particular rig for gaming every once in a long while - no problems, but I have to use different clock/voltage settings than when I mine. |

Run with admin privileges? I'm not familiar with the problem.
I believe he wants to run the GUI while bitcoind is already up and running, without shutting down bitcoind first. I would love to be able to do this as well, but I've never read anything suggesting this was possible. Of course, I'm a complete noob when it comes to much of this technical stuff. Maybe Armory could work? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=56424.0/quits talking on the technical support forum before getting chewed out for ignorance |

Edit: Oh, wait -- you may need to close the other client you have running, then start up the GUI.

I think what Clark's trying to say.... don't forget the BTC donation link on the website for this great improvement on an already-very-useful tool.  |

As Goat will probably soon announce, I have purchased all the "non-20%" IPO shares, as well as a large stake in the "20%" IPO shares controlled by Goat at a significantly higher purchase price than IPO shares were originally set at. Currently, I own 250 TyGrr shares, which will increase to 375 shares ~1/30/12 pending check clearance from my bank, making me 1/4 owner of TyGrr. This put a few extra thousand dollars into TyGrr and, because no shares were actually created, will increase dividends and share price significantly. I'll let Goat handle dividend increase projections once he figures out the components he'll purchase.
I feel very positive about the performance of TyGrr and competence of the Goat, and have faith TyGrr has a long, prosperous future ahead of it. Until I run out of USD to pay bills, I intend to hold TyGrr stock, and largely keep out of TyGrr's operations, having faith in Goat's ability to operate our company. Early adopters likely won't have much more time to buy anything but after-market shares, and I'd like to note buying from Goat will only help to increase dividend and share price further.
Edit: I should probably note I intend to vote against any attempt to create new shares, though I'm willing to offer preferential loan terms.

Perhaps a silly idea, but would you consider fundraisers for specific expenses like adding new servers. I'd imagine you'd get extra donations for something like that.

I've noticed there's no voice for miners/users/enthusiasts who don't care one way or the other in this conversation. So.... Hello - I don't really care, and would opt-out of using this feature. I appreciate dumbing the conversation down so I can understand it, but I don't think I gained anything from reading it, except to learn Bitcoin users & devs have explosive, friendship-shattering arguments over whether to secure two pieces of wood together with glue, screws, or nails.

Wow. I was trying to find an article about a device talked about a few months ago which controlled a sex robot remotely, to poke fun at how far behind the times y'all are. Little did I know there's now a Wikipedia article on "Teledildonics." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teledildonics |

She says she believes that but that she acknowledges SOPA and PIPA were the wrong way to go about things.
And yet she was more than willing to pass them. Read the links I posted. So? On what planet do people not have the right to admit they were wrong? Nowhere in the email was anything like an apology, or admission of wrong. She said she voted in favor of a bill, and is working with corporations and lobbyists to "improve" the bill. |

I have never used or intentionally used pirated software.
How many of you can say the same thing?
Would you like a pat on the back or a prize for being a good lil boy? EDIT: I like to try full functioning software before I buy it, not some nerfed down piss poor excuse they demo. If its not what I am looking for, I delete/uninstall and try something else +1. IP is one of the very few goods where you're expected to buy something before using it. I'm very picky about software I buy, but when I find something that really does what I want, I buy multiple copies. |

Wow. I was really skeptical of this project at first, but.... this is really cool. I'm floored you're able to get the magazines out to the public as you have. I'll be buying a subscription as soon as I'm back in the state with my wallet files.

Ok, brace yourselves..
Here's a conversation I had just a second ago in IRC and rather than retype it, I'm gonna paste it.
[2012/01/24 01:37:00] <+imsaguy> The idea is kinda cute, but the implementation sucks.
[2012/01/24 01:37:21] <+imsaguy> Typos, layout, validation are all lacking
[2012/01/24 01:37:50] <+imsaguy> He's got numbers for comments, but the comments are actually redundant, so why are they getting unique numbers?
[2012/01/24 01:38:07] <+copumpkin> it seems to be an attempt to reimplement a sort of WOT
[2012/01/24 01:38:17] <+copumpkin> but without any of the strong identity guarantees
[2012/01/24 01:38:36] <+copumpkin> I'd like a WOT with multi-step signed statements though
[2012/01/24 01:38:39] <+imsaguy> Plus at some point, my privacy is compromised.
[2012/01/24 01:38:51] <+imsaguy> My credit report [IRL] is only available if I authorize it.
[2012/01/24 01:39:06] <+imsaguy> Here, I have some third party just plastering everything out there.
[2012/01/24 01:39:15] <+copumpkin> yeah, ugh
[2012/01/24 01:39:19] <+imsaguy> Personally, I have nothing to hide.
[2012/01/24 01:39:22] <+imsaguy> But its more the idea.
[2012/01/24 01:39:22] <+copumpkin> plus there's no connecting it to the actual person there
[2012/01/24 01:39:30] <+copumpkin> identity thieves would have a field day
Only a lender who PMs me is given a link to their own individual sheet. Insofar as that, identity of the lender is guaranteed. They are not permitted to edit others' sheets, and only I have privileges to the master list. Privacy could be an issue. The only identifiable information included is forum handle. Loan information is typically laid out publicly on the forum. AFAIK, there is no information in the spreadsheet which is not already available in the lending forum. I don't really understand where "identity thieves" come into play. ETA: I can personally guarantee the "anonymous lenders" all have legitimate loan info, but lenders in that category have opted to remain anonymous. |

I've finished adding 43 loans manually picked up from the lending forum. There are currently over 50 unique loans in the master list. More will come soon.
If you want your info added before jfreak's done with his website, but don't want to give me your email address, I could enter them in spreadsheet with little effort if you send me your loans in spreadsheet form.

I'm announcing my continued support for a demand-free economy with a new IBB loan-matching program to go into effect the beginning of next month. BDK strongly supports a generosity-based economy, even if we're not quite ready for it, yet - I'd love to be a part of pushing us there. Any loan IBB is willing to put money toward, contact me (after 2/1/12) and I will match their loan terms up to 5BTC for up to 21D. There is a maximum amount out toward these loans at any given time of 25BTC. (BDK is not in any way affiliated with IBB.) |
