Do you have an outline you could share with us, Alex?

Most of those hash computations haven't been recorded, though. Only the ones meeting the difficulty requirement.
Think about it. A wimpy GPU can generate 100MH/s. Do you really think it's going to be more efficient to pull pre-computed preimage/hash pairs over the network?
It is just possible that there are some interesting relationships in the preimages to the hashes which met the difficulty requirement, but they will probably be very hard to tease out.

You are lucky to have such a Mom. She has a lot to teach you.
You know her better than I, but what she is saying appears to have nothing to do with religion, she is pointing to the need for emotional support. ("It's going to be alright" in this context means "I will take care of you.) An anonymous currency like bitcoin, though I find it fascinating, disconnects us from communal interaction. This also has practical implications (we can't trust each other, "everybody's a scammer," massive friction in economic transactions, etc.), but what your Mom is pointing out is that it's very lonely.
Express your feelings to her, don't gossip about her to us. She cares about you. We are just words on a screen to you.

It would be worth tracking the temperatures to verify that it's not overheating. The fact that you have been using it for months does not necessarily imply that heat is not the issue.

Traffic to SR never goes through an exit node.
When you go to a hidden service the "exit node" is the node hosting the service. So its an unencrypted http connection to (I assume) localhost
Oh. Thanks for the explanation.

Ah, PGP authentication would help a lot.

What would be the regulatory implications of such a declaration?
|

Yes, it's pretty remarkable that the Silk Road doesn't do https, only http. I wonder why that is. The CIA/NSA must have tor exit nodes... You could really have some fun by hijacking some high-profile accounts there...

The fact that all we have to go on is sentiment is the core problem.

Primarily in the fiat currency of a country which has not yet resorted to inflating its way out of debt.

For everyone else, the LX150 isn't supported by the free version of the Xilinx tools. You'll have to buy the full version ($5K?) to develop for this board.
Thanks.

Heh. Very convincing comeback!

If anyone has any comments or suggestions for improvement, I'd very much appreciate it. Hi, I read your document. I don't really see what this gets the parties over a simple "You pay me $ x now, and I will pay you y bitcoins at time t." Also, I am fluent in the notation, and did not have a problem reading it, but you really buried the lede by describing the contract using mathematical equations. The document would be more accessible to more people if you had a subsection of the introduction describing the key ideas of the contract in words. If you do that, you will probably get more people asking the same question I am, but you need to answer that question anyway.

Yes, it's not going to go down to $1 without quite a few miners throwing in the towel...

Interesting, wisdomtool. That is about where I would be comfortable getting in, too. But it's just based on a gut feeling. What is your reasoning?
|

It probably reflects my relative cluelessness about computer hardware, but what surprises me about these caseless rigs is that they don't get damaged by dust and other insults.

Financially, zero. Timewise, I've done quite a bit of research.

Will it be possible for the end-user to reprogram this thing? Might be fun.

The last two days are a blip on the screen. Go take a look at a chart from the last two months. And yes, there has been progress, and it is important, but in terms of price in USD, it is a tiny factor compared to the publicity bitcoin enjoyed at the start of the summer, the effects of which still have a long way to fade.
