Updated.
602  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: P2Pool Server List on: April 01, 2012, 12:54:36 AM
I PM'd everyone in the list but no one has responded if they have updated their software for the BIP16 transition. It would be nice if those running public nodes post in the thread that they've updated and I could add BIP16 to their connection information.
Sorry I didn't reply.  My nodes are (and have been) up to date.
Thank you Red Emerald, I've updated the list.

Sorry, didn't know you were looking for a reply.

No, it's on me. I sometimes assume everyone else is psychic.  Embarrassed  I did put in the PM "Reminder" and neglected to mention  about replying so it could be added to the list, I appologize.
604  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: P2Pool Server List on: March 31, 2012, 09:06:36 PM
List Updated.

Quote from: vindimy
Please add my p2pool server to the list! It's in my signature.
Added, with some guesses. Please check and verify the info I've put in the list about your node, if any of it is incorrect let me know.

Quote from: vindimy
Thanks for maintaining this list.
Your welcome. Would be nice to see more nodes from Asia, Australia, South America

Quote from: thirdlight
An update for my node...

thirdlight.dynalias.com is now in GB, fee free and accepting connections on port 80. So any UK miners with port / firewall issues should give it a go!
Done. I have the city as Manchester in the UK. Wink If this is incorrect, let me know.
Also, do you want the port in the list to show as 80 or both?

Quote from: tiker
40% of the p2pools haven't updated according to forrestv's post.  Hopefully everyone here has updated.

awesome, i need a tester now to see if i did indeed do it all right hehe.

who wants to be my guinea?
Hello jme621. If you ever want your node to be public, let me know and I'll add your info to this list. In the OP is the format for submitting node infos.

@NothinG  I'll slice it up and get it over to you. I'm not that familiar with PHP but I'll work on that as well as I can.

More nodes please. Grin

Cheers

Make sure you link your Bitcoin address to your Namecoin address to receive payouts.
So how do you do this? Username=bitcoin address password=namecoin address?

For awhile I thought 'dog's bollocks' or 'bollocks' referred to arse, but now knowing the facts I'm a little disturbed with anything testicle related being a seal of approval Cheesy


By the way.  I'm looking at the 80 Plus Golds.  Seasonic and XFX are very close in pricing.  Are there any cheap 80 Plus Platinums to be had?

If you need a primer on cockney, I'd suggest Guy Richie films, like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

Maybe there's a pr/marketing person on the boards who can help with advice about emails like this.

Everybody considering to push Bitcoin like this, please follow this advice from evorhees:

Quote from: evorhees
Rule number one of your first email to someone in business (who you don't know) is that it can't be more than 4 or 5 sentences. This means, you should basically just say something like, "Hey are you guys planning to accept Bitcoin as a payment option soon? "

Then if they respond with the question "WTF is that?" then you can write a couple short paragraphs of what it is, and why they as a merchant might like it.

Then if there is a second response from them, it means they're clearly interested and you can provide some links, more comprehensive info.

Especially for your first mail, less is definitely more! Starting with an essay about Bitcoin's advantages, no matter how witty and thoughtful, will probably not get you very far.

This makes sense from the Merchants perspective who may be receiving 100's to 1000's of emails a day. With the "Less is More" approach you may increase your chances of the Merchant being receptive. It is better than where too much information may become classified as SPAM in the mind of the Merchant.
Thanks

You mean to tell me merchants don't realize how powerless they are when it comes to control of their bank accounts or paypall accounts??!
This is pretty much the answer, unfortunately.
Yes. Please stop this spammy and pathetic evangelizing. We don’t need any stupid merchants or people taking Bitcoins as donations, they are useless at the current stage.

What is needed are successful applications for Bitcoin like Silk Road, which are actually used by lots of people because they have NO BETTER CHOICE. I hope ogrr and coinworker will be such ones in the future.
Aren't you being a bit exclusionary and near sited?

I want the value of my BTC to rise, the higher the better. Developers, merchants, and charities all help to improve BTC's value. The more who use it the stronger and more valuable it becomes.
612  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to make merchants aware of Bitcoins advantages? on: March 23, 2012, 02:21:43 PM
Using phrases like dictatorial control is just gonna turn most people off, and they'll just think of you as "that guy".

I said "almost dictatorial control" which is a big difference. I'm exaggerating, sure, but I didn't go overboard by saying something crazy like "I hate those fascistic vampire dictatorial banks". So if they share the sentiment at all with me I think my message should hit home pretty good.
I appreciate the effort, but unfortunately that message has too many trigger words and phrases that make me think spam right away. It would be ideal if you could partner up with a copywriter or someone that would polish it up into a fine sales piece. I'm pretty sure my email filter would block it based on heuristic analysis, but with some tweaking it could sail right to the top of an enterprise and become gold.
Lend us a hand rjk. Teach us thy golden pen methods that we can improve.

Ok.. introducing bitcoins to more merchants sounds good..   now perhaps you could introduce the coupon clipping part to any bitcoiners who might be as bewildered as I am.

Why do coupons need to be 'clipped' and why is it so difficult that there are services to do it?  (scissors??)
Is a 'coupon clipping service' a peculiarly US thing?

In the US coupons come in the mail and inside newspapers, are sometimes region specific. The only way to get these coupons is via others who collect them and resell them. For instance, search for "coupon source mailer" on Ebay. Some services offer bulk purchase options, like 10, 20,40, or 60 at a clip. Coupons help people save money when shopping for items. Extreme Coupon shoppers can save $300-$400 per trip, sometimes walking out having paid nothing for their order. People who are raising children and are looking to save money for their family use coupon clipping as a way to help out, especially when you can save 40%-50% on the food bill with little effort.

This type of retail business is the perfect fit for Bitcoins. It will put Bitcoin information into key consumers who can help improve Bitcoin value. This group of people is already active in doing something and are already more knowledgable. The Bitcoin community can tap into this to help grow the value of BTC.

Reading another thread I had a brilliant idea (All my ideas are brilliant at the time.). Basically, I was thinking about a way to spread the word and get people involved when I had a light bulb moment that could hit a lot of the valuable points for BTC use.

Create Bitcoin awareness with low value item retail merchants!

That's it. It's that simple. And what better low value item for sale than coupon clipping services.  Wink

1. Exposes decisions makers to Bitcoin
2. It fits into the micro-payment architecture
3. Will expose Bitcoins to large groups of conscientious and aware people
4. Simplifies purchases for an existing market
5. Gets people involved with very little expense, sharply reducing risk for participants
6. Will be utilized frequently, weekly if not daily

Examples of Coupon Clipping services:
http://www.couponsthingsbydede.com/Categories_s/22.htm
http://www.lorihas3kids.com/
http://couponcarryout.com/

Here is a sample of what I sent:

Quote
Subject: Payment processing choices?

Hello,

Do you accept Bitcoins for payments on coupons?

Bitcoins are a digital currency designed to be a micropayment system for the internet. I think it would be a perfect fit for coupons because of their low value cost. I have included some links about the value of Bitcoins in the Bitcoin world.

Trading - https://mtgox.com/ (This shows the current market price for 1BTC)
Merchants - http://bit-pay.com/  https://bit-pay.com/faq.html (Similar to Paypal or Credit card processing but for BTC)
Buying Bitcoins -  https://www.bitinstant.com/  (Deposits can be made at many banks to fund Bitcoin accounts like Mt. Gox)
What is BTC - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Um63OQz3bjo

I stopped banking and using credit cards online because of the amount of theft going on, I have been a victim. My bank account at one point was even used as a transfer station for stolen funds. Currently I buy prepaid cards if I have to do any shopping online.

I hope you would consider using a service like this, it would make my shopping safer.

Cheers

Who I sent this to:
dede at coupondede dot com
lori0479 at cfl dot rr dot com
info at couponcarryout dot com
admin at kuntryklippers dot com
lucinda dot wolford at gmail dot com

There may be other coupon clipping services I didn't notice. There may be other low value item retail merchants that sell online and could benefit, like seed sellers or small parts suppliers.

Spread the word, make our Bitcoins more valuable!

Cheers

Edit: Added coupon clipping services examples.

Put the Bitcoin logo on everything they will use or need, from Depends to pill bottle caps, belt buckles to wrist cuffs, broaches to hatpins, coffee cans to scotch bottles, pillow cases to bedsheets.

I was trying to make useful suggestions while someone with more experience was able to provide better assistance. No one stepped up though. :shrugs:
Attempt#3 Maybe the X.org file needs to be deleted, then when you reboot it will be rewritten. There's an aticonfig command I believe as well.
When you add cards the x.org remains the same recognizing only the original video card layout and errors in booting occur.

Good to here it's hashing away though.

620  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Sheriff's investigators release initial findings on Obama eligibility on: March 22, 2012, 04:05:45 AM
Funny thing is, if the CIA or whoever wanted to install a candidate they themselves controlled, there are FAR more and likely better choices among those definitely born in the US. Why would they pick a foreigner, and then try to hide it? I mean, what does Obama have that plenty of others don't?

This post gave me an interesting thought. If the CIA, or whomever, want to put in place a candidate they could control and already knew the rule book cover-to-cover, they could have gone with Hillary.

~Bruno~

On the show '24', the Secretary of State killed the black President. Is Hillary currently the Secretary of State? Is Obama a black President? Coincidence?
I heard that the CIA uses Hollywood to presage events to preparing people for their next goals.
