Bitcoin is the new gold.
+1  I bet on parity with gold within much less than a decade !  1 BTC = 1 Gold what? Oz? Ton? Liter? How about a new comparison thread? Bitcoin is on parity with an X made of gold... Currently it looks to be a "Disney Dee Bee Pin" (Whatever that is).  Personally, I'm holding out for a gold toilet.  |

This thread is all hype. I to, wish and pray that Bitcoin may one day reach 10,000$ a coin, but lets be realistic. It can as easily fail from another superior cryptography as much as it may succeed.
Burn the Heretic!  |

I'm hoping that my tax return this gets gets me enough to afford one of those fancy MakerBot x2's. If I can pull it off, I'd gladly sell print time for BTC. Ouch. 8 weeks lead time. I'm hoping to get into 3d printing soon but I'll probably go with one of the more homebrew solutions. OTOH, I kinda got excited by cnc aluminum milling over the weekend. Decisions, decisions... |

if this is meant to be put in your back pocket you might want to round out the edges.
+1. Though you may get sued by Steve Jobs. Rather than thickening it for more rounded corners, you could just make it a bit wider on the thin edges Now, if you were to have the public key embedded in the plastic, possibly in a contrasting color... |

Does this mean the new rally already ended before it started, or is this warning signal obsolete now?
Double hump rally!!! |

You might be best put to focusing on the antenna. Have you considered a cantenna?
Lol, tried gutting the core out of a cheap generic one and punching a screwdriver through a bean tin with the help of an online calculator and got a 30% boost in signal strength  Might make a one properly sometime but decent non-directional outdoor high gain ones are cheap should make a big difference on the AP. Building to building is a PITA, particularly if there's any metal siding or metal structural members involved. I spent ages getting it just right at the in-laws place then someone parked their SUV in between and killed the connection so I gave up. If you're on the same phase, it might be worth considering one of those ethernet-over-power-line things or maybe go fiber optic. Wifi is definitely the easiest and cheapest if you can get it to work easily though. |

A wireless router would be the best route for me to, I needed a connection in a hurry so used a spare PC for now but I'm looking for a router, need a decent range though as this is going between houses. Nothing suitable on Bitmit atm and there's nothing like the cheap ebay listings on Bitcoin Store :/

Windows has nothing to do with the POST process.
If it's not making any kind of beeps or anything, first guess is your PSU is dead (even though lights are turning on). Try and swap it out with a known-good one. After that, it's real troubleshooting.
Or the motherboard could be fried. Could be. That would fall under the real troubleshooting. |

What you need is enough confidence that you'll be able to physically track down the person you're loaning to and a goon that looks like he'd enjoy and is capable of making peoples' knees bend the wrong way.
And how much is a goon paid to perform this retribution so that the banker feels better after losing out on a $100 loan? Hell, come to think of it, I'm not sure if a goon has even been approached to perform said task on any of the scammers who have gotten away with big chunks of loot from individuals. It's no good getting the goon after the fact. He's supposed to be a deterrent. Don't forget that this happens with mainstream banking. They just give the goon a nice shiny badge and you can end up with worse than a decent knee-bending. |

It's possibly been discussed elsewhere but assuming bitcoin takes on, I wonder what the future of bitcoin exchange will look like. Little booths like you see in large European cities? Presumably banks would offer it as a service (at unreasonable cost most likely). Presumably there will be some online competition too.

I'll just chime in that rather than messing with all the hostapd stuff and making sure you have the correct chipsets and all that guff, you might just want to get hold of a small Tomato capable wireless router* and throw that on there. I think I paid $20 for mine. Of course, you might have good reasons for going the hostapd route in which case, good luck to you.
*Stock firmware may do what you want.

15-pin D-sub RGB video connector, commonly referred to as a "VGA connector" In fact, I picked up 4 used LCD monitors for $60, and none of them had DVI (and they're not that old). All VGA inputs. There's a reason they're only $60. VGA gives an abysmal picture on LCDs compared to a decent digital connection. |

VGA? WTF?
More correctly known as a 15-pin D-sub RGB video connector, commonly referred to as a "VGA connector" because it was first used on ye olden VGA graphics cards (though some VGA cards used the earlier 9-pin connector). Of course, nobody uses VGA cards any more, but the connector is still the most widely supported today, which is probably why it was chosen over DVI or HDMI. Or they could have gone with DVI-I which would have worked with DVI and HDMI as well as stuff people are pulling from dumpsters (I kid, I know there are a lot of embedded displays that are still analog RGB but still, why not move things forward?). |

I always enjoy it when people say dump windows...  the majority use windows, and I fix the usual problems, but would like something that checks the computer hardware too. You could look at some of the free rescue CDs. I know they usually contain the memtest program. Other hardware might be more difficult to diagnose. Each of the disk manufacturers have their own validation programs for example (though the one from WD seems happy to run test on other drives). dxdiag might help you with the video cards. You might want to check AMD and Intel for processor validation software. I'd be wary about using commercial full-system testing software. Too much risk of it going out-of-date. YMMV. |

He ran the site with a server that had only ONE gig. That's the mind-boggler. But maybe if CoinURL took the whole gig, the site would run. I need to trim down some excess services.
1 Gig is not really all that tiny, especially for a headless server depending on what you're actually doing. If you're not swapping, adding more memory may not help much (but it never does any harm). In fact, if it's costing you $$$ per month for memory, you definitely want to profile that to see you're not paying for more than you need. Presumably you also pay for CPU also? |
