Now this is a great idea. I can just imaging the increase in BTC transactions the next time there is any kind of high tech show/conference in Vegas!
One issue I see: When a guy puts a bill in a G string the stripper can see the amount. When a guy scans her card with his smartphone how does she know it is 1 BTC and not 1 Satoshi?
From what I understand, the balance should show on her smartphone - but what stripper keeps her smartphone on her at all times? It seems like it would get in the way.

You should make them into some type of vinyl sticker to put on their as.... err wherever. Scan here please ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I think the little keytag/nametag things look a little more classy.

What is the recommended way to run p2pool as a service on Windows? I have bitcoind running as a service using BitcoinServiceWrapper (somewhere in the forums), and I would like to do the same with p2pool.
Also, how many peers is the maximum? I obtained 10 peers rapidly, but then it never went any higher than that. Additionally, there is (xxxxx/17381 Verified), which is increasing extremely slowly. What does this number mean? P2Pool only tries to make 10 outgoing connections, so if your port 9333 is not open, that is where it will stay. P2Pool tries to get 2 days of shares (~17280 shares), so that many is normal. It's just the number of shares back that your node knows about. I did open the port for it, that is why I was wondering. I already have a static IP and use the same machine for a few other things including a web and mail server. Also, can p2pool talk to a remote bitcoind, or must they both be on the same box? I haven't found any sort of --connect option, but perhaps I'm doing it wrong. (also, any word on running it as a service?)

That means they had no value to begin with. If BTC dropped to $0 every time I sold some, I wouldn't bother with BTC to begin with.
Sure it would drop to zero if you obtained all the coins from the profits of having a Massive percentage of the mining power, and dumped them all at once.

(because large parts of the chip shut off).
I know that the shaders are used to do the hashing, but is it possible to utilize more of the chip, even if it were at dramatically lower efficiency?

But not to the extent that is being claimed. The way merged mining works is when I give 400 mhash to the pool, that 400 mhash goes to Bitcoin AND namecoin AND whatever else without diminishing the original 400 that went to Bitcoin. He can merge mine 9000 other alt chains, and I still get my 400 mhash worth of Bitcoin shares.
But are you getting your 400mhash worth of altcoins? No, he is keeping them. Lame. That implies said altcoins actually have value, of course. He could setup signed message shit for the rest of the alt chains just like he did for nmc, but the other chains simply have no value. Some of them did have value, until he spent them on an exchange and reduced said value to nil.

What just happened? My bot was down and when it came back up, the price went wild. Was there a problem with Mt Gox API which made the market go crazy as soon as it came back online?
Any time there is a wild swing in the market, the sockets go MIA. Wonder if it is the gox's way of damping the swing.

I predict that all payments received in this manner will be from fat sweating geeks, and it will soon go the way of the dinosaur. Just kidding, it is a great idea! And, it looks like the perfect platform for regular noobs too, with a little rebranding ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Having an iFail app is a big plus for noob cred.

I might be able to sell you a parachute, it may have a few blown panels though.
p.s., Wanna buy a bridge? Goes well with your parachute.

even if the exchange is half way around the world, the max ping you'll get is 350ms. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Quick compared to the speed of my mouse clicks, slow for an arbitrage script. Sorry I should have stated that my intentions were for an arbitrage script. http://bitvps.com... 25ms to Mtgox, and never oversold.

How many real $$ has Luke mined in I0coin, ixCoin, and CLC, using Eligius pool power, that has not been shared back to the Eligius Pool members ?
Is this in any way relevant? Those coins are nearly worthless and there is a much bigger matter at hand. Those coins happen to be worth even less than previously, because of this use of pool resources to attack those chains and reduce the market for their coins to shambles. So yes, it is somewhat relevant. The miners should have received their share of I0coin, ixCoin, and CLC instead of him using them to attack the markets for them and also gain monetarily by that. The sticking point is that there is no way to sign up to receive those altchains, even if you wanted to.

If anything, it's been the price increases that have incentivized more miners to join the game.
This is correct; even the pool operators have noticed an increase in old accounts becoming active once again.

Luke is. In my opinion as a user here, he SHOULD be banned and have his pool blacklisted by the forum Glad to see someone else hates his homophobic, Bible-thumping, market-cornering, self-righteous ass. fully agree +1

Luke, could you please shed some light on the CLC events related to eligius or point me to where I can find this info.
Specifically: were eligius pool hashes used to merge mine CLC or any other chains besides btc and nmc?
Thanks.
Well, he's pointing well over 250 GHash/sec of mining power at CLC, and he's also been begging in IRC for remote access to computers with OpenCL-capable GPUs for unrelated software develoment purposes due to not having any of his own, so it'd be rather... surprising if he didn't use Eligius users' hash power for this. Edit: Coiledcoin block #6948 corresponds to Bitcoin block #161234, the 3rd most recent block mined by Eligius, so yeah... So in other words, the following quote is indeed a lie:While there are personal attacks in this thread which are bad, most of the discussion of what was done with the pool and coilcoin (or whatever it is) are relevant to the topic of the pool and should not be deleted. Why does it seem like people don't read anything? The Coiledcoin nonsense is NOT RELATED TO THE POOL. Shameful. Utterly shameful.

Hey Yochdog, I noticed you are using Deepbit - was just interested in your reasoning for this choice. (Not trying to start a flamewar or anything) It just seems to me that the associated fees might be something that would nibble into your business's profits, and I wondered how much the monthly difference revenue difference might be versus using some other pool. I assume you have explored other options, of course. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) You certainly make a great point.....at this juncture, it is more about not wanting to take the time to change the setting on 30+ miners scattered around different locations, many without monitors. I kind of figured it as a cost of doing business, figuring we are sacrificing 3 coins every 10 days or so. I am sure one of these days I will get a wild hare up my a** and make the plunge in changing all the settings......have just been too focused on expansion for the last few months. If you are continuing to expand, you may find it extremely worthwhile to look into PXE booting your miners, assuming they are all on the same network. Then, you change a setting once and remotely reboot all machines, which pulls in the new settings. Alternatively, cgminer recently obtained RPC control courtesy of a sizeable bounty - if you have a programmer friend, he could probably code up an app to change cgminer settings remotely.
