True. My camera produces quite low quality pictures.. But here are the pics:

Could the PoS blocks be used to determine the blocksize limit / capacity limit change? For example, if the system sees that there's too little coins being staked or too little amount of PoS blocks being generated, it decreases the limit. In other words, could this scheme be used to determine the safe capacity zone of Bitcoin?

As I copied this from my last auction, failed here. Here is the correct rule:

Starting Bid: 2.3 BTC

Bidding Increments: 0.01 BTC

Auction Ends: 1/21/2016 @ 20:00 PM UTC

Item location: EU

Forum Downtime: If we go down I will announce if we add more time or not

Shipping: Paid for by winner

Bids after 19:50 PM will extend the auction time by 10 minutes, to a maximum of 10 minutes extended since latest bid.

This looks brilliant to me. Feels like this would be natural development for Bitcoin.

• This fixes the 51% attack problem.
• Increases the general reliability of the system as mining centralization risks would be gone and there would be an incentive to run a node.
• Normal nodes could also show their opinion about soft forks.
• Hard forking would be a lot harder, and it would be easy to see what actual nodes (with bitcoins) are "voting" for.

I think the best way to implement this scheme would be to change as little as possible of the current system. PoW blocks interval could be kept at 10 minutes target with same block & tx fee rewards as of today. PoS blocks could be made with with 10 or 20 minutes intervals. It would decrease the block interval slightly. PoS blocks would earn only through fees from the transactions they include. I heard it could be possible to do this without the need of keeping staking coins online, too, which makes this secure too.

With this scheme there could even be a possibility to implement properly working mechanism to adjust the blocksize limit. Nodes, which currently pay the costs of the network, would be able to vote for their preferred blocksize limit, or adjustment.

Please let me know if I fail here.

I will be re-auctioning this coin in near future.

Less than 5 minutes to go.

Camera is sucky, soz.

Well.. Note that you don't have to let others handle your bitcoins. This means you don't risk of some service running away with your money. Top 3 risks I can think of right now with Joinmarket are these, not in any particular order:

1. Yield generators wallet must be kept on online machine, as the bot needs to (or may need to) access it frequently. You could of course have yourself between the bot and the wallet but I guess that's hardly worth for the 1% gains per year. Especially when coinjoiners will not accept too long delays from yield generators.

2. Code errors. There might be a bug which could cause coin loss. After all the program is interacting with the Internet and complete strangers in there.

3. Regulation. Some goverments could rule that running yield generator is illegal as it attempts to hide the traces of the money flow. One could use Tor or such, though.

You don't need to trust some 3rd party service and their wallet management here to gain that 1%. Using some margin etc. services may get you a lot better interest but holding gets you 0%.

I thought you're reasonable. Anyway, what is fucking bullshit? That you can use Tor wisely and someone instructs you how it works?

Hello.

I'm willing to buy a old, cheap Haswell CPU (socket LGA 1150). It should be very cheap as it's only used to upload new BIOS.
Location: EU

Pm me offers or reply in the thread.

Well, I now took a pic of the backside too:

Thanks ducatitalia, it's indeed S3. Let me know if you want pic of the holo side too, though there's not much to see.

I am aware of the chain of custody thingie. BTCstore.eu is ran by the same people who operate Bittiraha.fi (leading bitcoin service provider in Finland) who also operate largest bitcoin ATM network in the Nordics. They're also behind the Denarium physical bitcoins. They can probably ask for the chain of custody from Casascius.

Then it is Series 3, indeed.

I'll upload some if I can find a decent camera.



How do I find info about the series? It's from year 2013, that's what I know.
