- Backup notifications - Making a backup is really important if you don't want to loose your coins. With this change a backup notification is displayed on the main screen whenever the app is restarted and you have a positive balance. The dialog allows you to disable the notification so you don't get nagged if you have made a backup already
Might be nice to have a bit of intelligence on that. Rather than every time, just when first started and when new keys are added. |

If I paid 20BTC. Could I have my friend and nemesis get into a fight? Who would get the television rights?

If bitcoin can't deflate in a stable manner, then fiat will be seen as more stable, and people will not store wealth in bitcoin as anything other than a risky investment. If bitcoin can't deflate in a stable manner, what incentive is there for people to "invest" in it?
Maybe the difference between carrying your wealth home on a thumbdrive or in a wheelbarrow. Bitcoin has its issues but the other options aren't looking so hot themselves. That's largely why it's interesting to me. |

I'll be your worst enemy for 1BTC per day.
Enemy is OK but a little weaksauce. How much for a nemesis? |

Cute. But what I really wanted to say is that I really like you avatar Richy_T  Your daughter got a well deserved tip. Thank you. We are just getting into the bitcoin thing and I'm trying to explain to her what they are and where the value comes from (They're educational for sure  ). I told her about this thread and she said "I can do those in 30 minutes" so I'm sure commissions are available too. |

Woot, not a newb anymore. My daughter drew these for this thread.   Her BC address is 1J5Vi3EZjTVG12PP47w8oCzzkzkmMPrggo Larger versions with transparent background also available. |

Command line options might be a good way to go too. I haven't looked into those too much yet. Maybe have a special user which runs a very restricted shell, with multiple levels of escalation, one-time pass-codes etc and throw putty on a thumb-drive (though it's a very simple/small download in any case).

Happening again. Grrr. I think the RJ45 might be sliding out of the socket as it reconnected when I pushed it back in this morning. The little spring clip had been squashed flat and broke off when I tried bending it back. Guess I will be re-crimping tonight.
Doh! -1 Internetz with cable unplugged.  Oh, it was still plugged. It had just worked out far enough to break contact I think. It's been running all day so far but there's no reason it should have worked its way out. Thermal expansion contraction and/or spring loading maybe. |

Would it not be a good idea to replace Captchas with small Bitcoin payments? Less annoying and actually gets the spammers to hand over some money. Possibly make it an alternative and see which people choose.
That would be a terrible idea, unless it's a very Bitcoin-specific site. I was more thinking of this site. But it might work well as an either/or proposition on other sites. Of course, before long, it wouldn't be bitcoins just for registration but bitcoins for everything. Though for some sites, that wouldn't be so bad. |

VNC and VPN might go a long way |

You can add alternate power. There are supplementary PSUs for such things (without the mainboard connector) or you could just use another PSU (I have done that before when adding hard-drives caused my main PSU to shut down due to drawing too much power to tide me over until I got a more capable main PSU). I have also used a 12V supply for a IDE/SATA to USB adapter to power an internal hard-drive in a pinch. This is slightly risky in that if your voltages are slightly off, you could theoretically end up having too much current flow where it should not but that has never been an issue for me. Here is one pulled at random from google. Not recommending, no association, etc. http://www.cputopia.com/fsp-group-booster-x5.html?utm_source=googlepepla&utm_medium=adwords&id=20206522684&utm_content=pla&gclid=CKuR--TJxLICFQQ4nAodgkIA_w |

I really can't afford to have that many BTC lost.
Invest Only What You Can Afford To LoseThe problem comes with what to do with what you can't afford to lose. It has to go somewhere (though at this stage, new Bitcoin institutions are particularly risky). |

I understand your position. How frequently should I adjust the price to match the exchange? I would think the beginning of the day would be the best.
Don't think of it as Bitcoin appreciating, think of it as the dollar depreciating |

I'm mining in a pool for now. I think this may be network card related. I have disabled the power saving option on it and will see how that goes.
The card is stock setup.

OK, I am a new miner of just over two days (I'll post in the introduce yourself section in a bit). For the second day in a row, I have come home and have apparently not been mining anything from a little after I left the computer the night before. Yesterday, I just figured the computer had gone to sleep so I set it to never sleep. Today I got home and pyminer had something about a communications problem in the status bar, my hash rate was saying 998GH/s (I wish, normally 126M). My pool page shows no blocks submitted during that time. Internet was accessible. The standby mode for the monitor is set at 10 minutes. Could that be causing it? This is on Windows 7 with a 6770. I restarted pyminer and it appears to be running normally. If it did do any work during that time, it's gone  Thanks |
