Then get the girls to come to www.cam4btc.com!  Regarding anonymity: IP addresses are hidden by a layer of abstraction. Even in code I have no access to ip address, just ids which are larges hashes. If I watch my network traffic, I won't see the IPs that I'm sending to and receiving from? Are you sure about that? That sounds impossible without something like Tor. |

Are you trying to replicte MyFreeCams?
@Phinaeus There are a lot of girls over there, your bound to find someone with zits.
Getting myfreecams to accept bitcoin would be awesome. But for now  Hadn't heard of that site before I created the site. They use a central server however whereas this is totally peer to peer for audio/video distribution. Further this is totally anonymous
Totally anonymous? If this is using p2p for the distribution, can't I tell who my peers are (and therefore who is watching the same cam) by IP? |

I'm not trying to undermine your opinion though. If it helps, wherever I said "restrictions" doesn't necessarily equate to "the gov't requires an extensive background check, age limit, and tax stamp," it could just as well mean "children may carry firearms if properly instructed and given permission by their parents."
Those 2 things are very different and should be 2 separate choice for the poll. A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
If someone could explain to me how regulations don't at all infringe, then I might change my mind. Till then, I believe that American gun laws are unconstitutional. Not that I can really do anything about it  |

Problem #1: this is an nVidia card Problem #2: this is an entry-level nVidia card Let's compare with an nVidia 8600GT. A 7600GS is a (much) slower card than the 8600GT, but let's keep things simple and assume the 7600GS will perform on par with an 8600GT. An 8600GT has a hashrate of ~5Mhash/s. http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator.php tells us that a 5Mhash/s card will generate 0.10 bitcoins/month. That's 51 cents. Per month. So your cluster of 10 computers will generate no more than 1 BTC PER MONTH. Maybe you don't pay extra for electricity, but by any measure this is a monumental waste of time and resources. The 'profit' of 1BTC/month will not be enough to cover the extra stress your hardware is exposed to (increased chance of hardware failure). Bottom line: it is not worth it. Even if you don't pay for the extra electricity, this is a losing proposition because you'll most certainly experience a higher failure rate due to the stress of mining. Decide for yourself whether 1 BTC/month ($5/month) is worth the potential loss. What he just said. I also think his calculator is assuming 24/7 mining, so you won't even get 1 BTC/month |

I think that a large, transparent mining company would be good for bitcoin.
Glad to see someone trusted in the community is trying to do it.
I thought (and still think) that 1 million BTC is a lot to raise. Hopefully less is enough to get a top-notch mining company going.

I was wondering if anyone uses the wallet as their "main" wallet to hold more than smaller amounts, and do away with a traditional wallet. I understand the security risks but it looks like the bases are covered very well with multiple forms of authentication, automatic email of backup. Despite the risks I think I would feel pretty secure.
For people that travel frequently or those that don't want to remote into a PC to load up a normal wallet to check a balance this seems ideal.
I bet there are others like myself that are ok with a little downtime here or there and still feel secure about their coins with the backups etc.
I use blockchain as my primary wallet and keep around $100 USD in it. I treat it just like I treat the wallet in my pocket. I use armory for the rest of my funds because it allows me to have a secure offline system. I also have my blockchain.info private keys in armory so I can still move those funds around if blockchain.info is offline. |

Make guns illegal and then... "gangbangers" will give up their guns? What is the real state of gun ownership in the UK?
Handguns are illegal. We still have criminals who shoot one another and occasionally an innocent gets caught in the crossfire. We still have nutters who go wild with shotguns and kill a dozen or so unfortunates. Murder by didn't go down after the ban. Suicide by gun did. Personally I think the law is a typical English thing where they get into an emotional frenzy about something, all agree "something must be done" and they do something totally pointless and useless. They did the same stupid thing with "Pit bull terriers." Totally banned here. However deaths and injuries by dogs remain the same. Its almost comical in its stupidity. I had seen numbers showing murder and armed robbery actually going UP (by a lot) after the gun ban. I hadn't heard about the suicide number though. That's interesting. Did the total number of suicides actually go down though? Not noticebly. Rope is still legal.... That's what I figured. People aren't rational though, especially those that are offing themselves, so you never know. |

derp, I'll go change it
I already fixed it for you by uploading it to bitcointalk.org. But what if the image was infected. Oh noes, virisses be infectin mah jaypegs. I know there has been arbitrary code executed by PNGs. That's how one of the iphone jailbreaks worked (after the TIF and then PDF exploits that worked similarly IIRC). I'm pretty sure resizing the image would kill any malicious behavior (if any at all). |

So whats going to happen to your bot and all of your shareholders?
I assume in a day or so once they look over the new documents everything will be back to normal. This is not a big deal, but everyone should know about the issue. Can't you still run the bot on other exchanges? I know Gox is the biggest, but you didn't have ALL the money there did you? |

Why are you assming electricity doesn't matter? The OP doesn't mention electricity. Not sure where you think he says it is free.
He said he got this to mine with. This is the worst mining system I think I've seen that still has a graphics card.
He also doesnt mention the power supply which is very important for a dedicated miner.

I think it does matter - that is what I'm saying.
Why does it matter? I fail to understand your contention. With paid electricity, you lose money. That doesn't qualify as an "OK" miner IMO. With free electricity, it is a really slow miner that is likely not worth the time it takes to configure the mining software. So, still not an "OK" miner. What, in your opinion, would not be an "OK" miner? I do agree with you that mining won't "hurt" this computer. Although high load on a low-end (or even high-end) card is going to cut into the card's life. |

I'd say 27 MH/s is FAR from "OK"
What's wrong with 27 MH/s? It won't even pay for the electricity needed. Even if you aren't paying for the electricity, someone is. It doesn't matter whether or not it will pay for the electricity needed - that isn't what I'm saying. I think it does matter - that is what I'm saying. |

Short answer: No. If you mine with this PC, you will be LOSING 31 CENTS (mining income 9 cents, minus electricity cost of 40 cents) per day. You would be further ahead of you leave it turned off!  Check out this online BTC calculator to run different scenarios: http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator.phpThis is only true if you personally pay for your electricity. Is it "OK"? Sure, go for it, you won't break anything. Is it optimal? Not even close. I'd say 27 MH/s is FAR from "OK" |
