lol I know what you mean with the work units accepted actually, to this day I have never been able to set up solo mining because it's too damn frustrating and members here will troll you about profitability rather than help you

I can guarantee you that because this is JPMorgan who are essentially stooges of the federal reserve like Goldman Sachs aren't making a trading platform for Bitcoin purely because their masters told them not to.

There may be a short term price increase in the Euro but as you and others have said they're also increasing the money supply, if they continue to keep printing money as they are then countries entering the Euro zone will mean nothing in the long run because there will be so much money you'll have to trade thousands or millions of the stuff to buy anything.

Edit: Sorry, I had to

IQ tests have to be the most bullshit way of identifying a persons intelligence I have ever seen, especially the ones that are largely maths problems because not everyone is good at or likes doing maths.

One of the biggest problems I think that Bitcoin and all the alt currencies are facing is the complete lack of basic economic services, while the currencies do an incredibly good job of handling basic transactions there is absolutely fuck all support for merchants who are actually going to sell goods to people and help the currencies grow. I've seen some fairly promising stuff come out like bitfreaks digital shop but that only works for Bitcoin. There are the payment gateways sure, but frankly that stuff pisses me off because all they really seem to be is some half-assed plugins for bloatware and SCI clones of each other which barely work for the digital environment to begin with and what makes it worse is they're almost certainly making millions off this. Another sad thing to see is that you have these other sites with some nice, clearly custom made stuff that they paid for but they don't seem keen at all on at least putting up the software for sale.

I have no knowledge of PHP which is why I'm going to see if I can organise an effort to an open source cryptocurrency store released, I have some design ideas I can post to point people in the direction I was thinking and maybe we should offer bounties for people to make something, I don't really care about making it functional for paper currencies but that's why I'd like this store to be open source so people could try on their own if they wanted.

here's a very basic mockup of what I was thinking of:



A lot of these merchant solutions we have now were originally designed for paper money and not for cryptocurrencies, so they go and pester you for personal information etc. when it's not needed and they're not friendly to digital products which just pisses me off, we need to get something made just for cryptocurrencies.

You know what would seriously help these alt. coins? Shipping with a nice SCI that isn't extremely restrictive with the options or filled with bloatware and I mean that, there's no point in making a digital currency if normal people can't even trade with it properly.

Also, the wallet is acting up again so either I port forwarded it wrong or there's a bug somewhere.

You can't outlaw mathematics, if you did it would be a bit like medieval europe where we'd get intelligent people being persecuted by the church all over again.

I'm aware of the basic rules behind mining the cryptocurrencies in general, when you've got low difficulty it's easier, when you have a pool you spread the misfortune amongst you all and get a better average/consistent return than if you were solo mining. So does that mean though that you can also have really bad days as well even in a pool? I've been mining away at DigitalCoins for the lulz so I can pay for a new webhost ( It was the only one that seemed to work alright too >_< ) and I noticed there were days when I did bloody fantastic and could get a good number of coins in just one night but then there have been times like now where I only manage to get out a couple occasionally.

I'm actually fairly happy with my return at the moment and I might even mine DigitalCoins each night when I'm not using my computer just to build a little stockpile for myself, I'm just wondering what everyone elses experiences were with these alt currencies.

I think that's done it, will wait and see if anything happens to the wallet again.

The port forwarding is asking for an I.P address, is there a specific one I should use for port forwarding Digitalcoin?

I have come to the conclusion that governments are largely paranoid schizophrenics who should either be in a mental hospital or in jail, they are constantly chasing after largely imaginary enemies and anyone who is against them doing what they want suddenly become targets, adding to that, they are somehow exempt from being under the same type of surveillance we are because they say so and it has been proven from these leaks that they have the most to hide.

I managed to get bitminter client working comfortably now, I just wanted to mine some Bitcoins so I could pay for a new webhost that shouldn't suck

Thanks, I'll try and see if it works.

aw nuts, I thought I had it for a second but then I got this

Well I'll be damned, I think it was windows 7 firewall being paranoid and blocking it that was the problem.

Edit: Scratch that, problem started again >_<

Port forwarding shouldn't be an issue, the other clients I've used including Bitcoin seem to be fine.

Edit: I'll give it a try to see what happens though.

Does anyone else have this weird issue with the wallet where every now and then it goes out of sync for no reason? This can be easily fixed just by restarting the wallet but it is getting annoying now.

Avoid synweb lol

I've seen this happen with my site when it goes down, sometimes it flickers to life even though it's still being worked on, better to just wait it out or send an email to find out what's going on until it all gets back to normal.
