So, I got married when I was 20 and my wife was 19 (7 years ago), and I certainly do not regret it! We are very happy together, have one beautiful daughter and another on the way, etc. I view marriage and divorce differently than most of the world, and that's probably why it matters to me, and not to some people posting here. To me, marriage is a commitment for the rest of my life. When I say those vows on the alter, I mean it, and I won't break them for anything! I've always told my wife that divorce is not an option I would ever consider no matter what she does. She says the same, with the exception of if I ever cheat on her.  If you view divorce as an option, then I agree that marriage is really pointless. If you want to keep the option open of someday leaving the person, then don't commit to staying by their side for the rest of their life! |

Well obviously you just want a free website and do not want to pay for it. But if you want to become a proffesional website owner rather than 'I have this idea' type of guy. There is this ; http://ultraplay.co/index.html , they can offer good deals. I already have some people in this partnership, a graphics and HTML/CSS person, a security person, a hosting person, another graphics person, and myself. Why pay for expensive software when we can have somebody join our partnership and probably make lots of BTC? I'm not an 'I have this idea guy,' the company so far is a 'We have this idea.' No, everyone on the project gets 20%. Equality!  What kind of magical company is this, where the project generates 120%? 140%. He needs the game developer to code. I counted 5 original people, + the game developer. Look at the commas - the first person does both graphics and HTML/CSS. |

Lol, at least they tell you to wait.
I have received a more fantastic reply today, they are literally doing the opposite of what I want done:
Me:
I am sorry, but I regret my decision to withdraw the money. Could you
cancel my withdrawal if it is not already made. Sorry for the trouble,
thank you.
MtGox:
Thank you for the email. On checking I can see that the withdrawal is still being processed due to lack of funds on our Okpay account. We have already sent more funds to it and expecting the withdrawals to be processed soon. I will keep you updated.
I want my withdrawal CANCELED and they replied they are trying their best to hurry the withdrawal.
I feel I am trolled.
//********************
// MTGOX HELPDESK

if (strpos($input,'Withdraw') !== false) {
$r = rand(1,4);
switch ($r) {
case 1:
echo "Sorry for the delay.We request you to wait for the update.";
break;
case 2:
echo "We will keep you posted on this.We appreciate your patience.";
break;
case 3:
echo "We will check and update you on the status of the transaction.";
break;
case 4:
echo "Thank you for the email. On checking I can see that the withdrawal is still being processed due to lack of funds on our Okpay account. We have already sent more funds to it and expecting the withdrawals to be processed soon. I will keep you updated.";

Back on topic, I think the only possible way to do a "Proof of Human" coin is by using something that is unique to each human, but verifiable to be a human. In other words, you can't just use a person's name and address, or social security number, because those could be faked and a headless decentralized system would be none the wiser. The advantage to using such a system is that distribution and verification is incredibly simple: Simply give each person an equal amount of coins, and let the currency inflate slowly along with the birthrate (since babies would also be given coins upon birth, unspendable until they turn 18 or something).
So, you have to have something that cannot be machine-faked, which is DNA. But it can still be electronically faked, in that you could create an artificial DNA sequence. How could the headless system verify that such a human actually exists? With images!
To receive your initial distribution of coins, you have to give up a sample of DNA. A scratch of skin cells off the back of your hand, perhaps. Then, in order to spend your coins, you must verify that you are, in fact, the owner of said DNA. Fingerprints are unique - perhaps a machine could match your fingerprints to your DNA. Definitely not now, but 10, 20 years in the future? Maybe.
But then, if a machine can match your DNA to your fingerprint, what is stopping someone else from grabbing a sample of your DNA, mapping it, and then figuring out what your fingerprints should look like? And subsequently making a model of those fingerprints to be used on whatever is scanning the fingerprints, of course.
The problem with humans is, there's no one-way function for us. If you know the fingerprints, you can discover the DNA. If you know the DNA, you can discover the fingerprints. Etc. There is no human hash function.

Do you have a way to test power consumption on the unit once you get it mining? Just a Kill-O-Watt meter, nothing fancy. Alright |

when did you order, what is your order #? As far as running it, you should just have to plug it in via usb and run your miner.
Order no. was #1950 on June 23rd. I'm hoping to run this off of Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.5 (squeeze) on a 12-year-old Powerbook G4 which runs silent and only consumes 15W. However I wonder if the the Powerbooks USB 1.0 or anything else about that setup is going to be problematic. I hope like you say it's plug & play but I would be surprised if this doesn't involve a fair amount of fiddling around. Either way, is CGMiner the best choice of mining software? Do you have a way to test power consumption on the unit once you get it mining? |

Ok, so 10k XRP is worth only 1.53 BTC currently. If you're willing to do 2 BTC worth of XRP, then I'll make the trade. Otherwise, no go. |
|
|
|
10k is around 1.8-2 Hmm... so 10k XRP?
Isn't 10k XRP worth like... 1.2 BTC? Where can I see the latest XRP price? |

1.8BTC? And would you accept XRP
Nope. 2 BTC is pretty much my bottom price. And yes, I'd be willing to accept an equivalent amount of XRP. |

A bit too low I think. I did get an offer on eBay for $250 already, but I'd have to pay $25-$30 in fees at that price. I just thought it was too low with the fees included. But, if someone here offered $250 of BTC (heck, make it 2 BTC even), then I'd take it.

Finally I bought it. I had the fetish of having one of five first Casascius Series 1 Bitcoin graded by ANACS  I will confirm the transaction when I recieve it. A proper fetish to have!  Thanks for the sale, and I will get it on the way here shortly. |

What's wrong with the rich becoming richer? If the rich want to invest their money and make more of it, so be it... as long as they do it legally.
The rich could also pay another person (or many people) for their 24 hours a day - would that not be the same difference as paying for a large number of GPU miners?
Nothing wrong with that. BUT in this life, EVERY TIME some1 becomes richer some1 else becomes poorer. When you mesure wealth with countable things like land, gold, oil or bitcoins THATS HAPPENING. And when there is no more land or gold to collect, you start collecting drinking water and maybe someday breathing air. Snaider. Edit, ..Couldnt help it.. More often "legal" is the way for the rich people fucks with poor people life. That's kind of how economies work. If I pay you for an apple, then you get richer and I get poorer.  |

+1000000 to OP I was thinking the same thing couple of days ago. The fact is that all the coin that arrived till today make use of the real wealth of the people mining them. if you could afford a room full of 4gpu/pc you obviously have huge adv to some1 who have just 1 pc. What did you do? You aren't smarter, you didnt work harder, nothing. You just turn your $$$ or Euro's to bitcoins. Just like what already happening in everyday life. THE RICH ALWAYS BECOME RICHER. What we have all people in common is our lifetime, we all have 24 hours a day. So, a coin that needed actual interaction from the user could turn the same old story real life upside down. Every1 could have the same opportunity. you want to spend 8h/day in front of your PC, do it, you want to spend the whole day, DO THAT!!! Sorry for my bad english Snaider.

Selling my wife's iPhone 4S 16GB with a single crack in the front glass. The screen also has some scoring on the glass just above and just below the display due to the case that was on it. Other than that cosmetic damage, it works perfectly. Comes with iPhone headphones (volume control + mic), the charger cable and charger block. Originally AT&T under contract, but will be unlocked tomorrow when I call AT&T and get it unlocked. Want 2.4 BTC shipped. Pictures |
