I haven't read the Bitcoin forums in a while, since essentially all the bitcoins are mined by ASIC companies or people that like to lose money

but...  uh, wasn't this like $8 or $9 before?  and even then it was like 2x what it should cost.

or is this scrypt?  am i missing something here?

hoho, i seem to recall saying some time ago that slush, bitminter, and eclipsemc will have the least amt of orphans

and ghash.io will have the most (also how eligius was "funky" and btcguild needed improvement)

either ghash.io has been lucky or they finally fixed things up.  can't tell myself since i havent run bitcoind in many months

find it in your PM history!

dont see how this .dat file could be a virus

scam, yes

last call on these two things, i've decided i dont have enough time to play deus ex human revolution so i'll just give it away to whoever is fastest on my facebook friend list in 3 hrs, unless someone wants to give me .01 bitcoins for it ($5.50-$6.50 or so).

the other thing, "Firefall Exclusive", i'll take .01 for also, or just going to facebook that shit too

ed: they are junk from amd silver promotion from buying vid card.   the steam code might be region locked to NA

ah, nice, just noticed this

i'll probably start up the doge pool again

ah, long live doge, too boring to monitor all the new shitcoins, just leave it on there for a month or so

got your PM and responded... thief gone now 

Thief (sold)

Deus Ex Human Revolution sells for between $5-$12 on eBay (I could have gotten the higher selling Dirt 3 instead, but I was thinking of just using this myself)... anyway, I'll sell it for .015 bitcoins, which would be around the average of what it goes for on eBay.  Not too concerned w/ this since I'll just play it if nobody wants.

I also got this "Firefall Exclusive AMD Operator Bundle" that includes:

20 Pilot Tokens
3x 1 hour resource boosts
3x 1 hour XP boosts
a random ARES cosmetic
AMD Warpaint
AMD Decal

I have no clue what to value at, PM me an offer or something (or if it's worthless, let me know that too).

since it's such a small amt of bitcoins and I've done a lot of trades on here, I'd want the bitcoins sent in advance

(*note: these could possibly be NA region locked, not sure)

OK, agreed, quark is crap then.

Though I don't really agree that the 5-6:1 ratio of 290x vs i7-4770 should relegate protoshares to the 'eliminated' list..

You can get around 1000cpm from a dual core Opteron 6274, which would be something like 4-4.5:1

Is there a good GPU miner for Quark now (well, one that is publically available, that is), or is it still Smelter?

Any of these algorithms could have a GPU miner developed for them (hmm, or maybe not primechain?)?  The only difference is how many people have access to them?... but there are some where the difference won't be as pronounced, eg protoshares/bitshares/whatever it is now.  Could get ~725c/m on a i7-4770 (not overclocked), best public GPU miner gets you around... 4000-4500 cpm on a 290x?  (so i'm not sure why PTS is eliminated, it probably should be CPU/GPU.. doesn't even compare to something like Vertcoin, where CPU is blasted away)

I was planning on selling ~100 PTS, but the exchange I had them on decided to shut down withdrawals 10 hours before the midnight GMT 'conversion' time.

Shame I didn't leave them on cryptsy.  Thanks for costing me close to $1000, jackasses.

Anyhow, I wasn't planning on actually having any of them at midnight, so now wtf do I do?  I assume this pool is doing something?  Is there a separate client for these other thingamajigs?

Correct response?

discuss pls

They've started spamming me in the last few weeks w/ messages about how they're running low on "division manager" spots is what brought it back to mind.

How do I get Paid?You can be paid with Payza, SolidTrustPay, EgoPay, GreenDot MoneyPak, Western Union, Check or Money Order, or Bitcoin.

hah

Oh, just noticed the message subject line '<jibber jabber>/ Bitcoin Is Dead‏'

First off, I never used their Java client since I figured it was scrubbing for passwords or something.  I did post my referral link on here as a sort of joke many months ago, and now it's saying I have:

Total Balance   $9.98

38 direct referrals, 12 'level 2' referrals, and 1 'level 3 referral'.

I had to LoL at this:

Information Releases
BitCoin / CrytoCoin Completely Self-Destruct02/26/2014 With the total collapse of MtGox, the largest trader in Bitcoin, it is all done except for the shouting; Crypto-Currency is dead.Anyone who attempted to use BTC in the past as any type of currency already knew is was completely useless as a means of trade; worth $50 today, $1200 tomorrow.Good Riddance.  Now if all the smaller outlets would simply do the right thing and realize that they are now meaningless, and they should lay down and die.Needless to say, IPU Services will not accept any form of Crypto Currency.

...

but, uh, this place is BS, right?  *scratch*

I mean, according to their "balance sheet" @

http://www.ipuservices.com/12.31%20bal.pdf

They claim to have $2,550 in Mt. Gox (*cough*) and even if we were to trust these figures, the random amounts to various shady currency exchanges as well as the "$123,300.00 Undeposited" amount (wtf is it under a mattress or something?)  It claims to have damn near zero expenses, and, well, too much income for some place with a PoS website that nobody's ever heard of w/ no apparent clientele.

I wouldn't recommend using their, uh, "idle processing power" using application, but signing up probably isn't too harmful, as long as you use unique passwords.

If you want to check it out, it's at www.ipuservices.com ...

... *or* if you want to be a Super Nice Person and make me more imaginary Zimbabwean dollars, you can use my referral link at www.ipuservices.com/user/signup/?referred_by=IPU077019 (temptation too great, hoho).  It might be beneficial if I wasted $150 on a division manager spot, I really have no clue.  It does give me a few imaginary pennies.

I did a bit more research & apparently there was some "semi-legit" company called "Digital Generation" that did something similar and actually did issue a few payouts before stopping (?). 

Some junk at:  https://www.google.com/#q=%22ipu+services%22+%22digital+generation%22&start=0

But it's hard to find anything of value, since you'll mostly just find a bunch of disguised referral links (or worse -- exercise caution if you navigate those results, hah).

htf do you have a pool efficiency if this isnt being mined

lol what

Charts are nice and all, but on bter.com can't even withdraw since 'ZCC withdrawal is disabled due to blockchain fork. ZCC 因网络分叉问题，暂停提取，稳定后开放。'.

Fork, where?  It looks like one pool has 90% of the hashing power.

shame that I can't go to some sports betting site and put $1000 down on a (*ed: 5:1) that mtgox pays out bitcoins owned

those bitcoins are going to end up somewhere

and a lot of them will be sold, once they start moving

though i'm puzzled as to why anyone would sell at $120 on gox, i think any bookie would take that 1:5 spread

ffs
