1) You cannot destroy Bitcoins, you can only lose them (and they CAN be found, albeit with difficulty)
Uhh... Could you please give some info about finding lost bitcoins? It would take billions of years of utilizing the entire GPU force we have mining bitcoins to do it. I wouldn't count on finding any lost coins anytime soon. |

Thanks. I get this error though: assertion "check_upper || ((bnlow2 == NULL) && (bnhigh2 == NULL))" failed: file
"vanitygen.c", line 482, function: get_prefix_ranges
113 [sig] vanitygen 956 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to vanitygen
.exe.stackdump Wow SgtSpike, you must have been trying patterns prefixed with varying numbers of 1s in order to trigger this bug. Well beyond my humble test suite. Anyway, it's mostly clear what went wrong and I'll post a new version in a bit. I excel at breaking stuff.  And thank you VERY much for posting a binary as well. Much appreciated - I hate trying to compile on a Windows box, and I'm a chicken with my head cut off in Linux. |

I'll take whatever free coins you want to give me. I will then promptly return them to one of the two who were scammed.

My 26 yr old Son went from Chicago to Miami Fl. to watch a Bear's game Nov 18th 2010.My Son is a decent 5 yrs of college. and working man now. . Has never been arrested in his 26 yrs of life. very liked by everybody. My Son and 35 friend's and co workers also went to see the game in Miami Fl. they wittessed the false accusation's. My Son was rooting for the Bear's just like the dolphin's were rooting for their team, this happened outside while they were walking to the gate to see the game. when suddenly four policemen jumped on him and threw him on the ground my son did not know what hit him he was shocked as everyone else that was with him were, the police handcuffed him while everybody stood around my Son an everybody asked why were they doing this to him,the police would not respond. the police put him in a air condition very cold car for 3 hrs. the sargent told my son you know you threw beer at me, my son said no I did not when you grabbed me of course the cup of beer flew out of my hand and the beer spilled all over, then the police said you also spit at me the police was just making false accusation's my Son said I was shocked by all the thing's he was saying, my Son said is this for real I cannot believe this is happening
And this has fuck all to do with bitcoins, overclocking, the exchanges, or pools. GTFO. Mods need to lock this thread. I just saw this in his sig: "Thanks@@ *Link Removed* *Link Removed*" Just a bot looking for some clicks. |

By too long, do you mean too tall? Or too wide?
Would you be against laying out specific guidelines for people to follow? i.e. larger than 500x60 is not ok, or something like that?

100% on the separate account. The sent donations write off falls under the "ordinary and necessary" clause. There may be limits to deductions but not to write-off's. So for this type of operation I think you can claim this and are well with in your rights and operating with-in the tax-code. http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=109807,00.htmlActually, delving in to more detail, it looks like the max a person could deduct for charitable giving is 50%, even if the sole purpose is to give the funds away. The 50% limit applies to the total of all charitable contributions you make during the year. This means that your deduction for charitable contributions cannot be more than 50% of your adjusted gross income for the year. But there is a higher limit, discussed later, for certain qualified conservation contributions. Only the following types of organizations are 50% limit organizations. ... 11. A private foundation whose contributions are pooled into a common fund, if the foundation would be described in (  above but for the right of substantial contributors to name the public charities that receive contributions from the fund. The foundation must distribute the common fund's income within 2½ months following the tax year in which it was realized and must distribute the corpus not later than 1 year after the donor's death (or after the death of the donor's surviving spouse if the spouse can name the recipients of the corpus). Further limits also apply if the donations were made to some specific types of charities. The only way to not pay at least some tax on a project like this is to create a non-profit, then apply for tax exempt status. As far as I can tell, the OP's organization would meet the requirements for tax-exempt status laid out here: http://www.irs.gov/charities/charitable/article/0,,id=136459,00.html |

Link to Letter of Protest for said mark if anyone wishes to check it out. http://teasg.uspto.gov/gf/spring/nonteas?execution=e1s2Should be a lot easier than waiting until the mark has been published for opposition, which would cost money to file against and a fancy lawyer to make sincee of the extra paper work. ;p "Error Please select the global form from the main page" Is what I get... |

Just sent another ticket to their support. This is frustrating. "Ticket"? Are you referring to the "Send a Message" which is accessed from: - https://www.mybitcoin.com/login/mailbox.phpI don't think they communicate through email so any response would be seen only using that Mailbox feature. Within Blockexplorer I did see the address that 'my address' eventually sent its BTC off to sent it somewhere else, but since this is an EWallet, I'm not sure if that means anything. Correct, incoming payments to an address assigned to you from an eWallet get credited to your eWallet account, but payments from those addresses are not likely from your account. I don't think they communicate at all. This is the umpteenth time I've seen someone lose coins or their account at mybitcoin, and mybitcoin refuses to respond. Talk about a scam... |

This. OP is full of smoke. He's not mining, and he's not destroying coins. It's someone on this forum who has registered a second profile for the simple purpose of trying to get a rise out of us. |

I already remove annoying signatures.
Can you give a specific definition of what qualifies as "annoying"? Beyond a certain size? Animated? It would be nice to know what the specific rules are on signatures. |

Common law trademarks versus federal registration:
The term "common law" indicates that the trademark rights that are developed through use are not governed by statute. Instead, common law trademark rights have been developed under a judicially created scheme of rights governed by state law. Federal registration, a system created by federal statute, is not required to establish common law rights in a mark, nor is it required to begin use of a mark. However, federal registration, if available, is almost always recommended and gives a trademark owner substantial additional rights not available under common law. See the BitLaw discussion of federal registration for more information. http://www.bitlaw.com/trademark/common.html |

I am more concerned about "FIRST USE IN COMMERCE: 20110622" than someone holding a trademark to a name. I sure don't want Bitcoin to be used in commerce at all, maybe some of the folks here do.
Isn't the purpose of bitcoins to be used as a currency? |

Most forums that allow images in signatures have a clearly defined size limit.
I think that this would greatly help to clean up the forum and to make it more readable.
I think I've only seen one person with a signature image larger than the two posters above us. I don't see this as really helping forum readability, personally. But I think a size limit is a good rule to put in place in case people DO start abusing their sigs. I just haven't seen much abuse of it myself. |

Its not income. AGI for a individual or company is Money-In Minus Money-Out. Its quite common for a company to move large amounts of money to make a small profit. It perfectly legal to run a raffle where you accept cash donations and have no idea who paid you what. It does matter that you know where the money went. So you take in 1M pay out $980K. Your liable for tax on the 20K you kept. You may get audited but its a pretty simple profit/loss and balance sheet to show what your doing.
I know it's not income, and you know it's not income, but the IRS won't know it's not income when they see unaccounted-for tens of thousands in transfers in and out of the donation-distributors bank account. If the OP did file his taxes properly, he would have to show it all as income, then show himself donating the same amount away. The thing is, there could be limits on deductibility of donations (or limits on other deductions/credits due to the high unadjusted income reported), and he could end up paying more taxes as a result of funneling all of that money through himself. And I can guarantee that the IRS won't take his word for it anyway, that he donated potentially 80-90% of his income. He WILL get audited, and he'd better be dang sure he kept all of the receipts for all of the donations made. This is why I suggest he set up a non-profit org, a separate bank account, and keep all of the records completely separate from himself. And those records better be well-kept too, or he could be out a good deal of coin when the IRS audits his newly founded non-profit. |

Not cash by mail bitcoins by internet = (Same thing). Then we do a check run once a month.
How do you turn bitcoins into checks though? That's my point. Whenever you exchange the bitcoins for USD, you'll create a record for (potentially) thousands or tens of thousands of USD. And that record won't go unnoticed by the IRS. They'll ask questions about where you are getting all this income, what it is being used for, why you aren't paying taxes on it, etc. |

People confuse the patent process with trademarks.
Anybody got a dumber than dumb idea to fix that much? Globally? Besides distribution by language.
I am not 100% sure how the trademarking process works in the US, but in the Netherlands you would *never* get a trademark on a widely used and acknowledged term or name. That's how it is supposed to work in the US as well... but apparently, the trademark office failed to do some due diligence on research. A simple google search for "bitcoin" would have assured them that the term has been in wide use for some time now. Heck, all anyone needs to point to for proof is the many news articles that have been written over the past several months. |

I actually don't much like this idea. To me it seems better to withhold donations to charities until they accept Bitcoin. We know Bitcoin is good - so perhaps we accomplish double-charity when we put market pressure on others to realize the same.  That's the point they probably have no idea about bitcoin so its not a conscious decision like the EFF. Donations are supper simple with bitcoin. I think soon we will be seeing QR codes on TV ads soon. But this would help jump start it. As nothing like an unexpected check in the mail to make you think and research something. You dont have to report money on your taxes by name if it is cash all that is important is how much you kept/profit for tax purposes. So the audit trail is we received x in cash causes thats what bitcoin is. And we distributed x. Paying tax on x that was left over. Also think about the PR and how much good it would do if politicians were seeing donations come from the bitcoin community. So you propose exchanging coins via one of the cash-through-mail services? Sounds like a bad idea, especially if someone knows where you live and knows you have envelopes filled with cash delivered to your house on a regular basis. Excellent way to lose lots of people's donations. |
