Yep, paid!

I've had it for a month now and I'm still not paid. :/

You guys need to fix the HTTPS certificate on BitSumo. Google chrome is directing me to the old HTTPS url by default for me.

They will get every cent of their balance back and have absolutely no case on which to sue.

You don't seem to have noticed the part where Chase basically said "we might give you back some money".

Either way, Banks still have to be regulated, controlled, backed and insured by the government. So the government has a lot to do with the banks. I doubt the government would let a bank confiscate a bunch of money just because it wants to. It has to be a court order or something.

you got no clue how the system works.. so here goes..

regulators such as fincen/FSA dont proactively shut down businesses. they work off of reports known as SARS reports given by banks and individuals where there is a real risk of a crime happening based on the best judgements of banks and individuals evidence at hand., so the FINCEN/FSA will never tell a bank to shut down an account, on a whim.

now stepping down the ladder to the level of banks. it is the banks responsibility to monitor its customers (not the regulators) and if a bank see's something dodgy or gets a complaint from a customer they are suppose to freeze an account and investigate the legitamacy of the business and or the complaint. the bank are not allowed to reveal to the bank account holder the exact nature of why they are being investigated.

once the bank has done its internal investigation and decided a crime has been committed then and only then would a SARS report be generated and FINCEN/FSA(SOCA) made aware of the potential crime. for further investigations to occur. if other bank account holders are involved fincen/FSA would suggest to those banks to begin investigations and if enough info is there to freeze the account then they will but only after fincen/FSA receive a SARS report with enough evidence to act on.

the banks don't freeze accounts on a whim, they have to have good reason. and even after the good reason they have to have enough information to make a sars report of an actual crime.

i repeat
fincen/FSA will not ask a bank to freeze an account on a whim. fincen/FSA need to have received a SARS report about the people involved to then get the banks to act.

take mtgox for instance.. they had a confidential informant send them a SARS report before anything happened to MTGOX

now the weakest point is the banks.. as they are the point where a account can be frozen on less legitimate reasons. and if a crime has not been committed they HAVE TO release the account.

the banks do not simply run away with the money on a whim.

it may be worth reading the regulations once in a while. so having a working relationship with the local bank manager more so then just one hand shake and a business plan you can quash any concerns the bank has and ensure your rating with the bank is not high risk.

Well then.

I was just going by what the BitSpend team and the Chase employee said.

I'm not quite sure how this could be done in a cheat-proof way, though.

If we need to regulate Bitcoins, we need to regulate cash.

BitSpend. A bitcoin-based company which allows you to buy items on regular websites using Bitcoins have closed down indefinitely (apparently) because their bank (chase) has confiscated all of their money, saying that they are a "high risk client" to excuse their actions.

Chase has also said that:

"We will decide within 30 days whether or not to return any or all of your funds"

As of yet we are waiting for something new in this regard.

http://www.reddit.com/r/BitSpend/comments/1go95b/updatenews_why_we_have_been_slow_and_taking/

What are your thoughts? Should BitSpend sue Chase for their massive loss of profits?

Perhaps it's something else.

http://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_22.html

Here there seems to be some documented vulnerabilities for the version of the webserver you are running. Perhaps that's why and perhaps you should update to the latest version?

Am I now qulified to receive bitcoins?

thanks.
Yes but read the OP, no third party ads.

Just to make sure. Am I qualified too?

Were the credentials for the database the same as credentials for ssh or any other file server running?
692  Economy / Services / Re: Hack my site, receive bitcoins on: June 19, 2013, 04:27:04 PM
Have you got input sanitation in place? I think the method they used was simply SQL Injection. I can't test, though, since the database is either offline or the form php file isn't configured correctly. But you just have to prevent SQL injection by sanitizing the input.

Php.net has a huge article all about it.

http://php.net/manual/en/security.database.sql-injection.php

Shows common attacks, and the solution.

"Never connect to the database as a superuser or as the database owner. Use always customized users with very limited privileges."

Sanitize anything coming from the client that you're going to insert into a database using mysqli_real_escape_string.

PHP.Net documentation for that here

Who has got activities?
I has got activities!

Do we know what this activity thing is yet?

And what happened to ratings?

Yes. Check the post by that admin guy in this section about it.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=237597.0

and ratings are only visible when posting in the marketplace section i think

So hash rate will not suffer if a 7950 PCI-e 3.0 slides into an old mobo only capable of PCI-e 2.0 or even 1.0?

Yes. No problem whatsoever. You can even put it to a 1x slot that's PCI-E version 1x and it won't suffer.

This is because the GPU is a computer in it's own right, and it's running it's own computer program in it's own ram space and such. consequently, all that needs to pass over the pci-e lane is the program to run on the card and then the results of the program.

I've used a 7950 with an old pentium 4 mobo and I got the full 500-600 khs.

Youre going mad. It says "activity", not "post count".
696  Other / Meta / Re: Activity on: June 19, 2013, 03:38:33 AM
I miss post counts. Activity is fine and all, but I still want to see post counts without having to click on the user's name.

Make a greasemonkey script.
That will load 20 new urls per forum page?

each page has dozens if not hundreds of URLs to load. 20 is no big deal.

(each image and css file and ad is a url)
697  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: Passively splitting a single PCI-E 16x slot into 16 PCI-E 1x slots on: June 19, 2013, 03:34:56 AM
I can see where having a Cable Y adapter w/maybe an inline chip would be a great thing, because it would free up the limited motherboard selections that allow 4 or 6 GPU's

However, a main problem is the Windows OS + card drivers seem to currently be limiting the number of popular GPU cards to 6.


Linux has a hard limit of 8 cards. I see reports of people using 13 on windows.

I think the OP is pointing out that you can use much older hardware (and no warranty issues if so) to do some mining without waiting for the mail from China with the risers in it (or paying through the nose for US shipped ones).  This is a good way to repurpose older hardware that you may have lying around.

I have access to a few older PC's that only have X1 slots, and I may buy some of the 7790's on sale now at newegg and use this to mount them properly in the case.  Thanks for the idea Smiley

Why a 7790? is the price point just right for that gpu? the power draw of a 7850/7950/7970 too much for an old LGA775 mobo? limited by PSU capacity\connections? Sorry for all the questions but there is a bunch of old hardware in my basement begging for new/used GPUs.

I've drawn 200+ watts per card on this mobo. THing is none of the power is actually ever drawn through the mobo. It's through the PCI-E plugs that go straight to your power supply.

I have limited funds but electricity is included in my rent. All things considered, what's the cheapest reasonable way that I can get into mining?

Buy one of those big rigs!  but becareful as your electrical usage will attract the authorities ad they think you're growing weed.

lots of electricity usage means growing weed? wat?

no, it means lots of electricity usage.
