My brother has a motherboard with several PCI-E x1 slots. He currently has a 4850 hooked up that he uses exclusively. If I hook up one or more GPUs on the same board and use them at full load with Bitcoin, will it affect his video performance on his 4850 in any way? This is assuming I can pick and choose what video devices I want Bitcoin to generate on. Can I?
In addition, will a quality 500W dual-rail OCZ power supply be able to support a dual-core CPU (E8200), a 4850 and a 5770?
Thank you.
To my understanding, most manufacturers underrate their power supplies and overrate the wattage requirement of their GPUs. Your mileage may vary. |

This problem solves itself in anarchism because barriers to becoming the capitalist employer are removed. Therefore the capitalist pig can't pay his workers too little or they set up in competition to him. Employee exploitation is only a problem in statist systems. It's in the capital holders' self-interest to create barriers to keep wages low and prevent the working class from revolting. I don't think you have any say in what Adam "ought" to do with his basement and property.
If not, he needs to do something else with his money.
*sigh*
Whose money is it again?
Adam's, of course. And with it he can chose to exploit, cooperate, or keep to himself. I encourage the hypothetical Adam, and everyone, especially us bitcoin pioneers, to avoid exploitation and cooperate. |

I don't see how it can be considered exploitation if both parties enter willingly, no matter how much the cost. It doesn't matter that either party entered the agreement willing if one party only had a selection of exploiters to choose from. Nefario is paying me to develop the software for his bitcoin corporation. I know he will try to make a profit off of it. Meanwhile, I will get paid 120 BTC a week. That's an actual agreement in real life.
Is that exploitation? No. I like the arrangement in question.
This is after all, an amicable agreement between two moral agents. You, the outsider, is just an observer, who have nothing to do with the exchange. Whatever you think is exploitation is completely irrelevant to what I thought is a good deal, or what is moral. Just because someone is unaware that that others exploit him, doesn't mean that he isn't subject to exploitation. For the record, I don't think your relationship with Nefario qualifies as an exploitive one. You still have the the product of your labor, the software. If Adam wishes not to exploit Bob, he should offer his basement at no greater cost than the expenses Bob would incur, like heat, water, and general maintenance. Providing Bob with a dwelling is incentive enough for Adam to allow Bob to live in his basement. Taking more than that is exploitation. I presume you mean 'no greater cost than the expenses Adam would incur' ? Yeah. If this is the case, you don't account for the expense to Adam of not having use of his basement. This is exploitative of Adam. He's losing something valuable and not getting it back from Bob. There is no such expense. Adam ought to get enough satisfaction out of simply housing Bob. Of course, if Adam agrees that providing Bob with a dwelling is incentive enough to allow him to live in the basement for free, than that's fine. If he does not think this is the case, then such an arrangement would be exploitative of Adam. If Adam doesn't get enough satisfaction out of housing Bob, he needs to do something else with his basement. I'm not sure what you mean. Say Bob wants to borrow that money to pay his heating bill while he's in college, and he wants to pay it off a year later when he's got a high paying job. What would you say is fair interest?
Adam ought to enjoy that Bob has heat and can afford college. If not, he needs to do something else with his money. |

Are you saying that if I had an online shop all my Bitcoin receipts would go straight into my online Bitcoin bank and so would be retained securely for me?
He's saying that if Bitcoin goes mainstream, we'll see a huge demand for really good security. However, we'll also see a demand for really good thieves. To reassure you, I'll say that you'll have less vulnerability to theft with bitcoins than with regular paper money. It's harder to counterfeit, and no one can print it on a whim. Also, you can't back up paper. |

What is "exploitation"? What's wrong with profit? Have you been reading too much commie literature lately? It's the capitalist concept of profit that's the problem. If I build something with hired help, I can sell it in exchange for other goods, like bitcoins. If I were a capitalist, I would then keep as much of the bitcoins for myself and give my employees as little as possible. Compare that scenario to one where I divide the bitcoins between myself and the other workers according to the amount of work we've each contributed because we act as partners. The latter scenario exemplifies cooperation while the former exemplifies exploitation. I posit that these things are cooperative relationships.
Adam wants $500 per month more than he wants to use his basement. Bob wants to live in his basement more than he wants $500 per month. They cooperatively exchange these things to their mutual benefit. If Adam wishes not to exploit Bob, he should offer his basement at no greater cost than the expenses Bob would incur, like heat, water, and general maintenance. Providing Bob with a dwelling is incentive enough for Adam to allow Bob to live in his basement. Taking more than that is exploitation. Adam wants $6 in interest more than he wants to use his $100 this year. Bob wants that $100 now more than he wants $106 a year from now. They cooperatively exchange $100 now for $106 a year from now and they are both happier for it.
Adam's fair interest is that which Bob intends to accomplish with the $100. Demanding any more, beyond external transaction fees, is exploitation. |

The richer people are the more people they can put in jobs and the more charity they can give money too. Meh. Not a fan of trickle down economics. It only facilitates the exploitation of the masses. That said, nothing about Bitcoin requires its pioneers to exploit others. We ought to eschew interest, profit, and rent in favor of cooperative relationships. |

Many days later...we don't know if the situation is resolved or what? Is Baron refusing to talk to MtGox?
Why would Satoshi ever call any of us little people? |

Which bitcoin, or fraction thereof, have users transacted the most? I understand that some folks like to collect freshly generated bitoins, but let's show some respect for Bitcoinville's community bicycle.

You would need a lot of space to make them effective. They're also getting more efficient. You could always just connect a generator to a stationary bike. How about a BTC4Fat mining pool? |

So, does one have to refrigerate dried P. cubensis? Storage and use instructions would help customers. ...Not that I currently possess any or have ever visited the Silk Road.

Can't dM just manually resend the funds with a fee attached? Wouldn't it beat his earlier attempt to the block chain?

Why not print the note on a bleached FRN? Not stiff enough to support scratch-off paint, but invisible ink will work.  |

Testing the water here. I am not (yet) a confident Bitcoin user, I can not yet find anything denominated in Bitcoins I want to purchase. To transfer Bitcoins into debit cards etc carry some fees so as a business I would like to be compensated a little more - selling guns is my business but I have vendors and bills to pay which are in dollars. My thought is that a unique item as this one being offered to the Bitcoin community may have one are more persons interested even if the exchange rate is not as favorable. I will gladly consider all offers, please send them through Gunbroker. The listed price is a starting point - not etched in stone.
What about listing on Bidding Pond and then referring the winner to Gunbroker? I think this would be an easier way to determine the best offer and bring attention to your item. |

Guys! Baron is just Satoshi testing the resilience of Bitcoin and its community! Welcome back, Satoshi. What other shenanigans have you been up to?

Would anyone care to give us late-joiners an "executive summary" of just what exactly, supposedly, transpired, and what the conclusion was.... so that we don't have to read 19 pages of philosophical non-nonsensical debates.... please? Would you like a coffee with that Mr. Wagner? |

MtGox seems to be acting to solve the case below. This is part of an email Jed forwarded to me, between the victim and Jed: On Jan 10, 2011, at 3:26 AM, Jed McCaleb < x@mtgox.com> wrote: > Oh jeez that's bad. > I would go to IRC channel #bitcoin-dev and talk to theymos. He wrote a > block explorer that you can use to possibly track where the coins > went. > Any idea how someone got your password? > Jed. > > On Sun, Jan 9, 2011 at 11:36 PM, [victim] < x@gmail.com> wrote: >> Somebody is conducting unauthorized withdrawals on my account. They've >> taken 9k in BTC so far. I changed the password. Please Advise. All were >> sent to 1DVQEpTFjxYpZMVy4Bam9MCxeGEtmMmQCh(My emphasis -- it's Baron's address.) Hopefully MtGox determined with certainty that the victim in the email did, in fact, have his account compromised. Either this plaintiff speaks the truth, or has made a false claim in order to scam Baron. As the site owner, only Jed has access to the server logs necessary to implicate anyone. |

I offered to mtgox.com solution, I will send him those 3000 USD , and he will unblock my account.
Curently I don't received confirmation from mtgox.com that he is accepting with this solution.
sincerely I don't understand what is going on.
Also Now he is asking me that I send him passport scan. Try bribing with more money. |
