The constantly high current draw of you mining rig may have stressed the old breaker.  I had a similar incident in that my rig went down for a day once when an old power strip finally fried from the constant load running through it.  One new power strip later and I was back in business.  However, until I figured out it was just the power strip I was sweating bullets trying to figure out why my entire rig had failed and would not do anything.

Personally you could not pay me enough to be a mod.  That is one very difficult job.  Thanks to all the mods for all of your fine work.  We all really appreciate it!

Now that I think about it, maybe that first statement was rash.  How much does a moderator position pay? Wink

I meant a guy on the forum.  He has Patrick star as his avatar.

Oh yes, I think I know who you are talking about.  I have had a few run-ins with him.  But are you sure that Patrick is his real name?  Anyway, talk to "Patrick" and if that does not work out let me know.

You were supposed to give the money to me, and I was supposed to give you 50% of the profits I made.

I do not understand.  If we are splitting the profits 50/50 they why would it matter who actually plays the game?
Example, you give me 0.1 BTC and I that to play the 5-mine game.  I pick only 1 square.  If it's a safe square, I get .013 profit, which we would split 50/50 among each of us.  There is only a 1 in 5 chance of picking a mine square.
Sorry for all that giberish in my previous post.  Thank's for explaining it to me.  I was probably playing the game incorrectly so, now that I think about it, maybe it does make a difference who plays the game.  Let me know how it goes with the loan from "Patrick".

Also note that I was kidding about the 1,000 BTC loan and may be willing to loan you less if getting that large of a loan make you uncomfortable.
5006  Economy / Lending / Re: Looking for a 0.5 BTC loan (repaid within 24 hours!) on: April 12, 2012, 03:28:10 PM
BTW I have a question about this post:

It's ok.  I already have someone paying.

I assume you got that guy named "Patrick" to lend you the 10 BTC.  Are you sure he is reputable?  Please note that this lending forum is full of scammers and I don't want to call him a scammer or anything like that but, for obvious reasons, you do not want to borrow BTC from anyone that does not have the highest reputation.  Be sure you check him out before accepting any BTC from him.

I don't know about that guy but I can assure you I have the highest possible reputation on these forums.  If, after you check him out, you decide he is too shady I might consider a loan to you.

Please note however that the loan would have to be for 1,000 BTC since I do not want to "mess up" my nice clean wallet.

EDIT:  Finally broke 1000 Wink

EDIT:  Matthew, you are going to miss it - no way you can quit cold turykey.  Just read above.  Maybe not up to your high standards?  I know you want to show me how it is really done.

Thos x's could still represent 0's, but I have a feeling at least one of them is a nonzero number Roll Eyes
Well now that I have transferred out the 1,000.00045099 BTC from my wallet (see above) my wallet now has XX1,000.00000000 and that one there kind of bugs me.  If I can get rid of it then my walled will have XX0,000.00000000, and that would be so much nicer.  An even "rounder" number if you will.

Any ideas on what I could/should do with that extra 1,000 BTC?  I don't want to use it to play that darn minefield thing again because I was unable to make a profit.  I don't want to call it a "scam" or anything like that but I will say that I have this feeling that the web site may be rigged against making a profit.

Suggestions?
5009  Economy / Lending / Re: Looking for a 0.5 BTC loan (repaid within 24 hours!) on: April 12, 2012, 03:03:37 PM
One of your posts really caught my eye:

I'm still open for payments!  Minimum 0.01.  I am using all proceeds to play the minefield game, and I will give anybody who gives me bitcoins 50% of all the profits I make on that donation until I lose!  Yes, I promise I won't lose on purpose.
1DRsLdyY3DULk5sw7u1PEUchYyTUHf8EuP

I have never seen this paticular system/offer before so I decided to try it out, help you out, and get rid of my anoying 0.00045099 BTC all at the same time.  Since I could not transfer just 0.00045099 and I wanted a nice round number in my wallet (I have OCD) I had to transfer 1,000.00045099 to the minefield web site.  I am not that familiar with this web site but I figured "what the heck".

Following your system above I played my first round and lost.  I tried a different setting an lost again.  The third time I played I actually won, but, alas I still did not have a profit.  I kept playing and playing.  I noticed that sometimes I would win and sometimes I would lose but it seemed to me like no matter how long I played I never made a profit.  I kept waiting for there to be a profit so I could give you 50% of the profit.  I played on and on until I lost, just like your system said to do.

So not only am I out 1,000.00045099 BTC I am sorry to report that I have no profit to share with you.  Mabe I did not understand your system especially the part where you say:

... I will give anybody who gives me bitcoins 50% of all the profits I make on that donation until I lose!  Yes, I promise I won't lose on purpose.
1DRsLdyY3DULk5sw7u1PEUchYyTUHf8EuP

Obviously I did not lose on purpose - I don't even know what the would mean.  Did I miss something and not properly understand your system/proposal?
5010  Economy / Lending / Re: Looking for 15 BTC Loan Over 14 Days - 10% on: April 12, 2012, 02:43:24 PM
Congrats!  You should post the loan details here so you can build up your public reputation.

Almost all borrowers with your post history profile are scammers.  But, you are right, there is a small possibily that you are not one of them.  Time will tell.
5011  Economy / Lending / Re: Looking for a 0.5 BTC loan (repaid within 24 hours!) on: April 12, 2012, 12:38:18 PM
After my most recent transaction in my wallet the total is XXX,000.00045099 which I though was pretty cool since the total was sooooo close to XXX,000.00000000!  I was thinking to myself that I should do something with that 0.00045099, do you see what I mean and where this might be going?

Well I decided to just give it to you - since your post history just made me laugh so hard this morning at breakfast that milk almost sprayed out of my nose and on to the keyboard.

I tried to send it to you but alas the client wanted to charge me 0.0005 to do it.  That would never do since my total would then not be the nice round number that I am shooting for.  However, later today, if the system will let me do it without that darn fee, I will send it to you!

Thanks for the belly laugh!

I will sell my 25 BTC DI debt as well.  PM me if interested (or post an offer here in public if that floats your boat).

The other day I bought a case of Girl Scout cookies for BTC.  Yum.
5016  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Evidence for Goat lying on his TyGrr-Bank operation? on: April 10, 2012, 05:57:35 PM
OP:

Can you clearly state when/where did Goat die? Pirate confirmed at (02:42:08 PM) that it was an overpayment, still an hour later (03:51:36 PM) you had posted this topic?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=50822.msg844669#msg844669

I also expect your apologies for your inability to read.

I actually expect yours now, as well as for the cowardly deletion of your posting. Smiley
Goat is dead now?  That rumor will hurt the stock won't it?  Wink
5017  Economy / Lending / Re: [Looking] for a Loan on: April 10, 2012, 05:29:37 PM
For only 9.35 BTC?  Has not been on since April 7.  Hmmm or is it Hmm (?) I forget.
5018  Economy / Services / Re: Collection agents needed on: April 10, 2012, 05:25:06 PM
Lame. Burt, you're wasting your time with this.

If your lending model requires such actions, then you're doing it wrong imo.
You are almost always (w)right.
5019  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: BurtWagner sold me 10btc's (Buying more) on: April 10, 2012, 05:12:44 PM
I certify that BurtWagner sold me 10 Bitcoins for $49 USD using PayPal.  I sent the PayPal USD as a gift and swear and promise that I will never try to issue a chargeback on the PayPal transfer.

BurtWagner sent me the 10 BTC from 1BurtWEejbnKeBRsvcydJvsNztB1bXV5iQ to  1DoPEHwSfvs7X4tRKoJfBDHenuyG14mEQC in transaction number 8f9cea4ef2c9e8439febb23e7bdcdd6c6e7aac69a2b335ef11a52d13a3fa65ac

I certify that I received the funds and the transaction went smoothy.



I am buying up to 20 more if anyone is willing to sell me more via paypal.
All true.
5020  Economy / Services / Re: Collection agents needed on: April 10, 2012, 05:11:29 PM
I might have a business trip down in KY soon.  I can bring a co-worker who is 6'8" and 425 lbs. Wink


Not asking for that kind of help.  I am looking for someone to do some detective work.  Possibly meet the guy.  Then we will look at legal options.  Your suggestion would come into play much later in the process Wink
