Often, people will bid up an auction far beyond the actual value of the item just to prove that they are power bidders to hopefully deter people from bidding against them in the future. So which one were you? :p Not one of those two! My name on there is just SgtSpike... which I need to change, because it's not intimidating enough.  |

I'm disagreeing with the charge that NOTGONNASTOP is a site bot; it's entirely possible that he has his own built autobidder.
Users can create their own bot's to autobid for them, but they still have to buy credits like everyone else.
Oh, that was my original though. It's pretty easy to build your own bot using greasemonkey. Or, there's several out there that can be purchased for < $100. NOTGONNASTOP is on several other penny auction sites, obviously has a lot invested in it, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if he built or purchase a bot of his own. |

I am pretty sure NOTGONNASTOP is a bot and I think your a cheat.  Serious allegations. I know that NOTGONNASTOP is a bot, but mokimarket's already stated that there is no policy against using bots. Why do you think he's a cheat though? |

I think an interesting website would be a no-betting speculation site with points and high score charts. You can predict prices in the future, but you cannot change those predictions once made. You get more points for making an earlier prediction that is correct (within a margin of error), but lose points for making an incorrect prediction. Then, you can chart various users' predictions on a graph, along with the actual bitcoin price to find out which user is correct the most.
It could help give credibility to those speculators who are actually good at predicting future prices, and would be a fun, competitive way of doing it.

Trying to think if this would work between my wife and I.... lol.

At least horses will be worth more now. Unwanted horses generally only sell for a couple hundred or so, if that, because they have to be shipped up to Canada to be slaughtered.

This is downright hilarious now. At least for me.
My question is, what hardware was Tawsix planning to sell to shakaru? I can understand a closed-door liquidation to a "3rd party", because he could just pull out a part of that $15k he scammed everyone and say that was what he was able to get for the hardware, but if he was serious about giving a hardware list to shakaru in order to sell the rigs to him, what would have that hardware list said?

What I do not understand is the following...
1) Why cant we know what the hardware is? You were very pleased to give me a list when you thought you could sell the hardware, why not now?
2) Why is the motion to transfer all of SIN over SDM still not up despite your saying you would do so?
3) After looking over the SDM contracts and books, on May 19th I was contacted by a client who requested 4month long contract of 8ghs. That contracted ended according to terms on September 26th. After noticing that one of my contracts basically started when SIN started paying dividends, and ended when "The price of bitcoin is to low to operate", I decided to email the former client asking some questions that could possibly show if it was Tawsix, and I still have not gotten a responce.
This is all speculation on this, but 8ghs, 4months, that was all we got out of Tawsix and it would make some sense.
Clever... very clever scam indeed. |

Come on... I just sold 30 @ $2.50 a couple of days ago, now it's almost touching $3.00? Ergghhh... that little extra would have definitely helped with the electric bill!

Props to actually finding flowers to take pictures of! I have no idea what plant is in the middle picture, but eh, close enough.  Any way to get higher-res versions of those photos? Like... 1920x1200 (or similar)? So you charge about $125/hr for photography services? Not bad... my sister is a photographer, though she just started a few years back. She's done a few weddings and whatnot now though. I think she charges per event for weddings though, not sure on the cost. A simple photoshoot would probably come out to around the same amount you charge though. Best of luck with your photo hours on eBay! |

Just, make sure it's still simple for the end user to redeem them. That's the key. If I had to set up a python script in order to combine the two pieces of paper and get the final private key that has the coins, it would upset me.
Also, I really have no idea how this would work. If neither of the entities involved ever sees the private key, how would you know what address to send the bitcoins to? Serious question, this is just beyond me and my knowledge, but I'd like to learn more.

Great idea. because i'm sure the pool would need some heating while you use your AC to cool the house. You're know its fcking hot outside.
Are you really that clueless? People heat pools all the time in the summer. ALL the time. Sure, if it's 100F outside, you're probably not going to need to heat it, but when it's 90F, and the pool is 50F, it's not very comfortable and you get cold rather quickly. So you heat the pool, despite the weather being plenty hot enough to warrant the use of an air conditioner in the house. |

Whatever burned out there, it isn't repairable. I don't know if those are resistors or what, but there's actual dead components on the PCB, not just dead circuit paths or solder points.
I'd either figure out how to RMA it, or ghetto-rig a fan up to the heatsink.

Hi Crypto X Change, Your site looks very professional, congratulations. But I wonder what are your takes on privacy. The "Extensive logging and tracing of all activity" statement on your security page is particularly worrisome, and combined with the "Account freezes on suspicious activity" one it really suggests a MtGox-like behavior of holding people's money hansom in exchange for identification, what I find particularly disgusting. I mean, I perfectly understand that by operating legally the way you intend to do, you cannot fully respect people's privacy. But you can at least make everything clear from the start, to avoid misunderstandings. For example: - How do you define suspicious activity?[/i]
- How one unfreezes his account, once it got frozen?
- Will you ever ask governmental identification? Which? Under which conditions would you ask them?
- Will you keep a record linking outgoing bitcoins to incoming bank transfers (or IDs), thus linking bitcoins with people?
- If forced by "stronger powers" to give away your customers' data, can/would you at least make such fact publicly known?
Thanks.
You don't necessarily want to announce what suspicious activities are being looked for. That just lets criminals know what activities to avoid.[/list] |

To outside ground water? Are we living in the same planet ?
Last time i checked the heat was pumped out by air.
Google geothermal heat pump and educate yourself. Second even in a air source heat pump (AC unit is simply a uni-directional heat pump) the heat isn't pumped out BY AIR. The heat is transfered via a working fluid. It use to be freon and now is the enviro friendly stuff. so heat inside ------> working fluid -----> coils outside. In ground source heat pump the heat is pumped INTO ground (either ground water or closed water loop underground) In air source heat pump the heat is pumped INTO the air. There is little difference between a ground source heat pump (aka geothermal heat pump) or an air sourced heat pump. The only thing that changes is where you "dump" the heat. Given the ground stays cool all year round it is more efficient to dump heat there in the summer and pull heat from there in the winter. Maybe you didn't know but in an AC unit the air inside the house stays inside and the air outside the house stays outside. There is no movement of air. D&T get off your high horse cause you dont know what i know. At first the other poster talks about AC and you brought up geothermal? As if its already available for us to buy. Hence i asked if you lived on the same planet. You didnt get the hint and still thought you're educating me ? Re-read what he said again, he wanted to run water to the pool as a reservoir and back to the AC. The AC use liquid gas not water. Why would he want an AC if what he said is a liquid cooling setup? hence does he know how AC works? I built a rack (server rack) using chilled liquid cooling. My controller is a simple Arduino board that connects to sensors to read dewpoint and auto adjust the compressor to have no condensation at the heat block. I guess i dont know how AC works at all eh? PS. btw as the matter of fact, I did use geothermal heat pump. In 2002, after couple years of building liquid cooling system, i got sick of using heatercore (rads werent available for PC yet here), i dug up my ground and buried 100 ft of copper tubing. I used Iwaki pump to push all the liquid thro it. It was more of an experiment. My PC desk has to be by the entrance cause i couldnt route the tubing indoors. You're making yourself look stupid. You're talking about a non-heatpump underground source of cooling. The other posters are talking about a heatpump whose hotside radiator is modified to be cooled with pool water. |

Once we get Perl/PHP/Python/etc. running and instantly compiling within browser, a lot more doors will be open.
However, Javascript is still pretty powerful.
Because the browser is the whole computer now and we don't need local storage because we keep everything in the cloud. Look, you and I, we're power users. We like control. However, --most people-- they just want Facebook, their email and little hassle. When they have to do their taxes, play a game or write a document, they rather not have to mess with software. Click and run is the game they play. If the future is going to be made for regular people, it's all going to be in the browser. That's the way to go. That's what will make most people happy. I like people to be happy. It's a very selfish pleasure of mine. When you build a system for the dumbest user you make them dumber. ordinary people have managed to use non "Fisher price learn to compute" computers for over a decade now, lets not lower a bar that's already low enough. I don't think a tool should challenge the user. It should make their intended objective easier. Software is not the place to make the population "smarter". It's to make them work smarter and not harder. Is there no point at which life becomes "too easy" though? What if everything was so easy that we all sat in lazyboys to work, and only for 15 minutes a day? I don't think there'd necessarily be anything logically or morally wrong about that, but just from the standpoint of humans being naturally lazy and selfish, I imagine that most people wouldn't exert themselves and end up as fat couch potatoes. It would be a sad state of civilization. I don't think anybody has the authority to say somebody can't be a fat and lazy couch potato. The US still gives you this right. I find that beautiful. Personally, I don't want to be one although easy-to-use software is preferable. I certainly won't orgasm in permanently-paralyzing pleasure from it though. Fair enough.  |
