I just copied my command line shortcut over from the previous version.  I never knew about "--failover-only" before.

**later**
That did the trick.  My pool list is abcpool.co, btcguild.com, api.bitcoin.cz, mining.eligius.st.  Without --failover-only it seems to just switch among all 4 as if it were load balancing.  I'm running 200 Mh/s on cable modem.

Right off I noticed 2.7.0 is mining on my backup pools even though I'm using failover.  Version 2.6.5 says pool 0 (my primary) is online and it stays on it.  Version 2.7.0 seems to mine all the pools in my list in spite of my pool management strategy being failover.

Actually she left him because she had grown tired of living in his mom's basement.

Well you sure don't sound like a safe bet for a woman looking for financial security.

Be patient but BTFD.

My "agitation" comes from my passion for civil liberty issues in modern society.  Being able to photograph or record police.  Being free from continuous monitoring and surveillance.  The issues go on and on.  Most people don't care about their civil rights until they're gone.  Along the way they were willing to give up little bits of civil rights to feel "safer".

I have to agree with Mr. Anarchist.  MSM coverage is either irrelevant or positive.  Negative reporting on an issue like BTC simply draws more attention from average people who want to see what it's about.

Disclaimer: Any knowledge I have on the subject of illegal content is purely from reading slashdot and similar sources.  I have a nerdy legal interest in the interaction of technology and peoples' rights.

I thought of this but CP isn't a good example.  I can only speak for the US but authorities have to actually see CP (or illegal music files etc) on your computer or receive CP from you before they can act.  Merely running file sharing software like uTorrent, LimeWire etc isn't illegal.

The legal system would have to go beyond current limits to do what you say.  It's like saying that they can ban the use of port 8333 and if you're caught using it they can get a search warrant.  Impossible.

Guys.  You can't make software illegal (well maybe viruses and trojans).  You can't make using a particular TCP/IP port illegal.

If through some freak of nature something like this happened all the activity would simply be driven to TOR or something like it.  The world is full of clever people who would come up with hundreds of strategies to obfuscate BTC traffic if TOR didn't work for som reason.

No, he means this one.

FTFY

For sure, bitcoin is not something most members of the human race are familiar with.

yeah but everyone know the answer to that question would be 42

Awful lotta buses and trains 

Uh-oh.  A black helicopter just flew low over my house.  Better put on the aluminum foil hat.  (Tin foil is for pussies).

Yup, all they could do is outlaw the exchange of BTC to fiat currencies.  That isn't such a bad thing if you think about it.  Yes it puts an end to the exchange rate speculators on MtGox but so what?  You would no longer have a real reference to the USD or other fiat currencies.  So what?

We need to get away from thinking in terms of "Oh boy I have $2000 worth of BTC!  I can't wait to convert it to USD and spend it on something!"  The path ahead for BTC is for it to have its value anchored in real goods and services.

Exchanging it with USD is just a crutch and keeps BTC mired in the realm of conspiracy theories and other kookiness.

Keep in mind that even if TPTB decide to "do something" about BTC, what would they do?  BTC operates on a distributed network with open source software; it can't be shut down.

Cash, especially greenbacks, are the ultimate magnet for illicit activity.  Less traceable than BTC.
