They would only have to borrow more money from China to do it.  |

As much as I wish my baby thread could do this I doubt the market even knows we're here.
thats what i thought. maybe the US gov is buying up the bitcoins, b/c they know USD is going to be worthless! Now that's more like it. |

In the current interface, it seems that a miner must be linked to a pool, but it cannot be linked to more than one pool for failover or load balancing. Is this also something that will be improved in the public release?
Yep fail-over is on the list. One other request, if I may - the usernames are cumbersome, will there be a way to change these? For the site, maybe... for the workers never. Sorry  |

This sounds like a great idea, but I'm wondering how "hands on" it will be for miners. Will there be some kind of option to set a %, for example, set the PPS amount you're willing to accept as (whatever pool) current rate +10%? I'd hesitate to use the service if I had to keep track of what the going PPS rate was and adjust after every difficulty change.
Yep, its coming in the public release. |

Would it be wrong to rent out early investor space?
Sure, but only to squeeze ineededausername out. |

storage availability going up again? i guess some people can't resist selling their coins for $6 each  Spikes kill my storage numbers but with the higher price less coins are needed so its not as crazy as it could be. |

how about i test it for you?  I'll be in contact if we need some more help. As it is now we have some dedicated members that do the testing for us. |

Update:
I've had a lot of questions about when the purchasing side will be enabled and wanted to update everyone.
We're going to enable purchasing by the weekend. The payment process is going to be manually done until we work out the workflow, so bare with us. I will also be sending out an email as soon as we have it enabled.
Thanks for all the feedback and support guys, it's very appreciated.

i think i wasn't clear enough, lol.
i want to purchase shares to hop for me. i assume it's not gonna be available for awhile, but on your first post it's on the trusted list for buyers.
Yes, we're working on a way to identify a "legit" pool from a "malicious" one but it's not ready yet. We should have something ready by the time the site is public. |

As I solo merge mine, will i be able to point miners to my ip address, when i buy shares? (I can show proof that it is my ip by upping sth to the webserver for example)
No, we are only allowing Trusted pools to be listed for purchasing shares. The list is growing and all of the pools are being verified. how can you verify bithopper servers/ip address? if i want to use the service to hop for me, i have to point it to my server, which may or may not be trusted by gpumax. I assume individuals will be allowed to get their hopping pools verified? As a miner you can point your worker(s) on the site anywhere you want. For public work, those purchasing shares on the site will have a drop down of the approved pools they can point to. |

How do I check if I can lend anything?
I don't see any message that says that I can lend an amount on the website.
Or do I have to transfer some Bitcoins first?
It's in the original post under storage availability. where are you storing our coins by the way? mybitcoin.com? No, you know better than that. They are safe at instawallet. Ok, the real answer. I keep two wallets, one storage wallet and an operation wallet. The storage wallet is zipped, password protected and stored on a TruCrypt volume that is backed up by my mirrored drives, Dropbox and Carbonite. The operation wallet is open when I'm at the machine but when I'm away its stored on the encrypted volume. That's about it. great. also i'll ask you what i asked of shakaru... what recourse do investors have if you drop dead tomorrow? can your wife/girlfriend sort us out or are we s.o.l? Can't go into many details but I can assure you that a dead man's switch is in place. No worries. I often think about my wife killing me for the insurance money. |

I am late to the party but I am also okay with how things are going. It took me a while to figure out the system but that's fine.
I had some coins get sent back. How do I know when it is okay to send them again?
Thx
Check back tomorrow around 10 AM CST. |
