I don't have adobe illustrator. I have a macbook pro as my main computer. I don't have photoshop but I do have gimp.

I have a feeling blockchain.info or weusecoins.com wont' go away ever but you never know. Websites have a tendency to turn into cobwebs in the long term and my customers seem to hoarding long term. That said I like having both of those domains in the text. The only one I have an issue with is the bitaddress.com address since this information is not going to help the buyers of my paper coins and instead confuse them.

If it is trivial to make a change, I think that one of the following quotes  would be great in place of the text "Print more of these: bitaddress.org". I'm willing to donate .25 BTC for this change if you make it casascius.

Number 1 choice: "Store in a safe dry place"

Other choices which I would like in no particular order.

"Join the revolution"
"Bitcoin, an idea worth spending."
"In cryptography we trust"


I completely agree with you. Us geeks take so much for granted. Most of us do not understand how people have a hard time buying/spending coin. It seems so simple to us. Not to them though.

Casascius, do you have a layered image file of this design? (xcf, psd) and a copy of the font used?

I really like it a lot. Since I am using a modified version of the BitPay design with my notes, the "print more of these:" portion would need to be changed for me. I have nothing against bitaddress.org it's just that my customers are paying a premium for printed coins and bitddress.org does not offer the desgin I added to RobKhor's printcoins project.

On a side note, Casascius, you are one of my bitcoin heroes because of the physical bitcoin implementations you have followed through with.

This is quite nice. I don't use the pay design but these look great on the back of any design!

I'm not sure if half the fun here is not knowing what the images mean.

I totally need to know if this is a  photoshop now.

My parrot's name is Charley, this is the one strange image for a search on that....



It's art because you can't see any peni.

I have the MSI R7970 cards (three of them)

They have a doohickey that lets you overclock them more than some of the other cards. It's some sort of voltage smoother thing. They come from the factory at 1100MHz and I run them at up to 1190MHz without trouble. 720MHs per card at 1190MHz. 700Mhz at 1160 MHz.

keyboard double press bug?

I haven't had this problem at all, can you elaborate?

VVVV wants to own an oosik collection.

I put my nick into google images and this came up...

eBay/Paypal will not look at videos sent to them as proof of anything.

Once again... NEVER, EVER... (ever) SEND BITCOINS DIGITALLY THROUGH EBAY/PAYPAL SALES.

Always ship them a physical product. Always use the integrated shipping tools with PayPal.

There are several very nice printing options available with a multitude of designs.

http://print.printcoins.com by RobKhor is my favorite as it has the most designs available (and more on the way).
search github for aristus for a command line application which prints on a turing note.
bitinstant.com has a javascript based note printer.

I wonder if anyone currently employed at eBay even remembers auction web programmer turnover is 5 years on average.

Even if you send a physical item, which is how I sell on eBay, there is still a chance someone can charge back.

Many PayPal chargebacks are actually initiated through the buyer's credit card company.
If you run your own CC gateway, people can still charge back, use stolen cards, etc.
If you run your own CC gateway, you lose what little seller protection that PayPal offers.
If you run your own CC gateway, you have more ability to dispute chargebacks but you also have to provide your own infrastructure to validate buyer addresses.
If you run your own CC gateway, eBay is not going to be as easy to work with to resolve disputes.

Not trying to talk you out of it, these are just things to consider before jumping into a coins for CC venture of any kind. There are some failed attempts at this service which you can find by searching this forum.

Ok so it's been 6 days now most of those days with all workers combined using us3 server which gives me diff 1 shares based on my relatively low has rate 2 GH/s... More often reported as 2.2 GH/s now with diff 1 as opposed to before with avg diff 3..

The reported speed by the account page continues to be very good and the daily earnings continue to be over the 69 bitcents/day I estimated with the one hour tests. Using real earnings / six days = 76 bitcents / day. I'm pretty sure we also had a difficulty change.

So whatever changes were made have made me more bitcents. thank you very much inaba.

There was a release on around september 19th which was supposed to improve on this issue. Has anyone been able to verify a fix with the latest wheezy?

All your luck is belong to ME >

I don't think it is purposely rigged but I have noticed that there are lucky periods and unlucky periods. I don't know if it is still true, but it seems that if you play 5 times per transaction and the first bet wins, they all win.

Dude aside from mining (and mining related) and speculation/coin resales, EVERYTHING else is a scam. I wouldn't call that very little fraud.

I used wheezy distro and someone has bfgminer compiled for the RPI. You should be able to google it but there is a link in the BTCFPGA thread.

I love my RPI. I hope I win a MMQ

Luke, I ran bfgminer with the debug log yesterday morning and so far it has not frozen up.
If it happens again, I will send you log files. Aside from this problem, it has been noticeably more stable than cgminer and continues to use 5%+ less electricity.

I would normally blame problems with my hardware but this was happening on both of my rigs and all cards. Perhaps it was some kind of network related problems. During the issue my cable internet was working fine otherwise.

I would like to be in the contest again please
