I sent my info along with 1 question well over a month ago & have forwarded it again a few times but have had no acknowledgement or reply from either Carlos or James. Huh

Has anyone ever had reply from this mythical lawyer?

It seems Quentin was having some issues with emails going directly to his spam folder. He has since turned off the spam filter and replies to email once per week.

This has a distinct air of pain to it. Poor Quentin.

Yeah he has it tough all these emails never getting to him, damn that no work must be hard to do.

Of course it is different, you idiot. Not only that one can buy so many useful items with bitcoins but one can also earn bitcoins by doing
some useful work. 90% of bitcoins I have are actualy earned that way. People actualy pay for others' work with bitcoins, which then can
be exchanged for almost anything. With bitcoins, I have bought full right for a song which I now use in my game. Once game is completed,
I will mass-promote it on BitVisitor, Project Fabulous and few other places, with bitcoins. Since number of daily visits will explode, I will most
likely go with better webhosting plan, and pay for it with bitcoins.

Whatever still BS little nothings offered by kiddies playing at the real world, much of the same can be done with LTC right now.

1.3M LTC still there, still overpriced. It is like that when you let average or bellow average IQ people access the (stock) exchange.  Grin

the market decides if it's overpriced.

Yes, and market decided LTC is overpriced. Price is right when there is equilibrium inbetween sell and buy volumes. Sell 1,347,524 / Buy 1,216  Tongue

You people mining and hoarding LTC are so stupid that beside not working on adding some usefulness to LTC for over a year now, you can't even
play market properly. You generate coins and just toss them on market, without ever realising you actualy stabbed yourself and anyone else on LTC
train in the back because you just added to the already huge problem. Unenlightened, dumb, incompetent, self-interest faggots who think they are
adding some incredible value to coin by plugging miners into Litecoin network.

Yeah like bitcoin is any different.

Looking at last two month's price action, it's more like a sell side's managed advance/cashing out, rather then buy side's orderly retreat/accumulation. 

However if that's the case, putting 1.3 million in sell orders is really retard. so I am confused.  Huh

The market manipulators got confused as well when the ASICs did not arrive and their pump and dump plans went tits up.

Well, if it's because ASICs got delayed, then "manipulators" = speculators, because that kind of "pump and dump" is what every speculator does.   

Sit there and watch them bot wars that go on for a while then say that or for that matter them manipulators talking openly about what they are doing in the chat window...

I assure you I'm not trolling you or anyone Graet.
I admit I didn't explain it properly at first but saw that I didn't and corrected it.
I also am pretty well certain that Pay on Target is enabled on Notroll as the shares that are being accepted are as high as 2032/3 on CGMiner...
you know how mining works right?
without shares > Difficulty no blocks are found
just because cgminer shows the difficulty of shares returned DOES NOT mean the pool has enabled Pay On Target payout system.


I didn't once say it did...

BUT when the the shares HAVE higher then average sized difficulty and every share is much much higher then the average and the pool is paying for larger difficulty shares and offers larger rewards for them. We can assume the pool infact DOES have Pay on Target enabled.

That method pays for all shares submitted Pay on Target I believe is the idea you only get paid for shares that reach or exceed the target set by the pool.

A block with no transactions it only takes and gives nothing back to the host (the btc network if that did not filter into your brain) hence a parasite.

Who ever said to make a block with no transactions? We are talking about COINS with no transactions.

Let me give you an example, maybe that will help you understand better.

http://blockchain.info/tx/3ea44e636930806ef302022f6e770ec6e4b6edcbd1dd965cd0ca0731d388a1f8

Take a look at the link above and you will see "No Inputs (Newly Generated Coins)". This is what I mean about COINS without a transaction history.

Make sense?

Not at all that block is greater than the 50 it was supposed to be so has old coin included in it to be a virgin block it has to have no transactions. As I have said before this is just another scheme to separate people from their BTC nothing else.
88  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Virgin Coins on: December 27, 2012, 06:13:39 PM
Sure encourage parasite blocks that are of no benefit to the BTC network get enough of them no transactions get done, hardly surprising you would come up with this idea though based on your "business" dealings of the past fits you to a tee.

You usually make sense but what exactly are "parasite blocks"? How is mining and finding blocks of no benefit to the BTC network?

SAC, did you take your medications today?

89  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Virgin Coins on: December 27, 2012, 05:54:47 PM
My idea is to simply give non miners a chance to also own coin without a transaction history.

91  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Should Giga be tagged as a scammer? on: December 27, 2012, 03:18:14 PM
I don't think GigaVPS deserves a scammer tag.
He has done the best out of a bad situation, instead of shutting down his business or backing away from his contract he has tried to keep following it while not taking any more risks. He has done this by going the legal way in his country and you can't blame him for trying to make the best out off this situation.
I also don't understand what giving him a scammer tag will help?
He's no longer selling any shares and considering all the drama he never will never try to issue and asset again, the people who could get hurt have gotten hurt.
Giga is trust able and hasn't actively stolen, he's still here and he's still helping his share holders out.
A scammer tag will probably hurt more then it will help at the moment.
//DeaDTerra

He took no risk all machines were paid in advance by a margin of at least twice  if not three times the costs of the equipment being bought, his profit was locked in at the start. If you don't consider a free to him upgrade to the ASICs that he has attempted to charge people for scamming them then I guess you are right. Giving scamming pieces of shit the scammer tag allows people to see just what they are all about that is the entire point of the tag.

Some where i read that gigavps issued shares BEFORE releasing in glbse & he didn't asked/took any legal papers for it.

Please, if some one quote it, will help.


He was attempting to do a bypass of the GLBSE issuing process to not pay the fees Nefario got  a little pissed and was not going to list the shares, that is until everybody's favorite starfish patrick among others started complaining how this oh so promising venture was being not listed. Yeah worked out well you would think after that rocky start with people going on about how unreliable the GLBSE was there would have been backup plan in place for $100-200k+ in assets but when your not risking your money what is it to you if you have no way to give back. With this deal he already had his in the pocket anything not given back is extra bonus scam..

The buy order book is drying up for LTC.

I wouldn't put so much emphasis on the books, as market books are vulnerable to quote-stuffing and manipulation of the perception of liquidity... focus on the legitimate trading that takes place.  Wink

I would...I've been manipulating this market for over a year now. I know when the price is going to go lower. Now isn't a time to buy.

FTFY.
94  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Should Giga be tagged as a scammer? on: December 27, 2012, 02:51:12 AM
I find this case interesting. It is my speculation GigaVPS will not get a scammer tag because he has an active court case against nefario (according to Diablo) and therefore has plausable deniability that Nefario has not turned over data or money. Therefore, it is not his fault, and it looks like Giga really is merely doing the best he can in a bad, bad situation.

I change my earlier call -- I don't think he should get a scammer tag anymore. Didn't know he was suing nef.

Ah the old two wrongs make a right theory and no one knows if he is even suing Nefario if he is where are the case references that is all public information so should be disclosed.

Not to mention everyone of these "exchanges" I have seen allow you to buy and sell to yourself very cheaply, then you have the market manipulation bots as well. If these two holes were ever closed then we just might have hope in hell of actually seeing what all these *coins are really worth until that happens it is all based on the whim of the manipulators of the day.
96  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: CGMINER GPU FPGA overc monit fanspd RPC stratum linux/windws/osx/mip/r-pi 2.10.3 on: December 26, 2012, 06:39:14 PM
cut/paste ...

2.10.3
An Xubuntu 11.04 x86_64 executable is in my github called cgminer-2.10.3a
https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer-binaries
(it also works on Fedora 16 and 17)

Yes I had to create a seperate git for the binaries since github has disabled the download feature

To get the binary simply:
wget https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer-binaries/raw/master/cgminer-2.10.3a
chmod +x cgminer-2.10.3a
md5sum cgminer-2.10.3a

b0ce7640a66efd1e83a7bc31ea545703  cgminer-2.10.3a

For anyone who didn't realise, it's just the executable file to put in place of 'cgminer'
Nothing else needs changing
First get and extract the full binary release from ckolivas and then copy my file in place of 'cgminer'

No problems so far (15 minutes) on my GPU, BFL or 'MMQ+2xICA'

Since I'm no longer GPU mining, I just run it for a while on my single 6950 to see what happens

MMQ+ICAs (1.6GH/s) on OzCoin Stratum with fixed 8 diff
BFL (858MH/s) on OzCoin Stratum with fixed 8 diff (BFL now on 864 bitstream)

The same configure options as cvolivas' binary version
In case anyone was wondering:
CFLAGS="-O2 -W -Wall" ./autogen.sh --enable-icarus --enable-bitforce --enable-ztex --enable-modminer --enable-scrypt
make clean
make


Thanks again Kano. Does this also work on normal Ubuntu 11.04 by the way? Thinking of changing from windoze on my other rig too - cgminer runs soooo much more stable on Ubuntu....

Should libraries used when compiling would be the same unless Xubuntu has done something crazy like change the base system for their distro instead of just the graphic environment like it should have done.

Edit: display driver and sdk used would have to be the 12.6 or newer as this has scrypt compiled in so you would need better than is available in that distro installed as well, you need to download then install newer version for it to work.

You are using the pubic api when getting ticker it does not need all that validation stuff a simple get will do it for you. An example of doing it I found in python below as you can see easy to do.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# If you find this sample useful, please feel free to donate :)
......

import httplib
import urllib
import json

conn = httplib.HTTPSConnection("btc-e.com")
conn.request("GET", "/api/2/ltc_btc/ticker")
response = conn.getresponse()

print response.status, response.reason
print json.load(response)

conn.close()

Which gives a result like this when run for ltc/btc just change the pair to what you want then parse the json output to get the final result wanted.

Code:

./ltc_btc_ticker.py
200 OK
{u'ticker': {u'sell': 0.0057299999999999999, u'buy': 0.00577, u'last': 0.0057299999999999999, u'vol': 708.32758999999999, u'vol_cur': 122349.03096, u'high': 0.0058700000000000002, u'low': 0.0057099999999999998, u'server_time': 1356545001, u'avg': 0.00579}}

Indeed as old PT said there is one born every minute and all these collector fools are just a shinning example of it.

Oh, who's got too much angst and an internet connection  Roll Eyes  People have always collected things and when those things are rare things the collection can become valuable.  Certain gold coins coins are worth >x10 the magnitude of 'spot' price.

Sure they are that gold in there has them super special atoms never to be found again ...
You sound like a real bore; hung up with a super dull idea of value. I say "Thanks" to all the imaginative and visionary people in Bitcoin, technology companies, artists, art dealers and just about anyone who isn't quite so dull - for making this world a more interesting place to live. What I can't understand is why you bother wasting your super-valuable time being so critical of people.

Most certainly I believe in value for your money spent not this pie in the sky BS most around here seem to think of as normal, it does not turn my crank at all. And I hate fucking scammers with a passion and that is all this is just one more opportunity for them to ply their trade. In case any of you have not noticed it is pretty much always the same group of people who show up in these threads designed to separate people from their btc short a few members now that pirate, nefario, patrick among others are gone but still out in force when they come up with new one.

I'll still take 1 for novelty....let me know your BTC address and how much you want.

You can have bitcoins generated directly to your address by mining at a pool that does it's payouts like that. P2Pool and Eligius might be the only ones, here's an example of an Eligius payout. But that's still not the same as having the whole block reward generated to you.. or is it? I don't really know what's the value-adding thing here.

The value add is in finding the morons willing to pay over the odds for a bitcoin block and as I expected the usual suspects are in with how great this can be hold onto your wallet their at it again...

SAC,

Please refrain from personal attacks on these forums. If you want people to give you respect, you should respect other people.

Some peoples garbage are other peoples treasures.

For those of working on the front lines of Bitcoin, sometimes these small novelties and memento's of Bitcoin excite us. We have the right to enjoy what we work so hard on every single day.

If you can't see the value in a free market economy, and true value by someones own accord, there is a bigger problem here.

-Charlie

Whatever free market manipulating more like it but you people are used to that anyways. So in short if your fine with these scammers pulling another one give it your full support.



The value add is in finding the morons willing to pay over the odds for a bitcoin block and as I expected the usual suspects are in with how great this can be hold onto your wallet their at it again...
I don't see how this is different than coin collecting. Collectors always pay more than face value for anything considered rare or special. Is it moronic to pay for fun, entertainment or simply enjoying something besides calculating your net worth? What a sad life that would be.

Even from a strictly investment pov one has no idea what value a virgin block may someday have. People collect the weirdest things. If someone would pay 124,000 Euro for this then why not a virgin block?


Indeed as old PT said there is one born every minute and all these collector fools are just a shinning example of it.
