What are 'Common Law Rule' nations? Somalia?

I also just noticed that the usage of each GPU is perfectly matched. That is not the case in ANY of my rigs. You have some bottleneck, likely a voltage, CPU or windows issue.

What mobo has eight PCIE slots? What are you using to power eight GPUs? What extenders are you using? The PCIE bus can't handle the draw of eight cores running full blast...

Likely he is using dual GPU cards.  The perfectly matches usage may be due to Crossfire being turned on in Catalyst Control Center.  Although it shouldn't hurt mining I would turn it off.

My trifired 6970s all ran differently. There is just no way their usage would match perfectly in real world conditions.

I know that eight gpus can be done in windows, I just don't think it is easy.

The point still remains, I would like some help figuring out what services to create for you all, and no there is condescending meanings as the service is not for me, it would be for you all.

We want services from the community, not someone from the outside with no skin in the game merely using it to profit.

Have you taken a look at https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Trade ? I don't know that the list is well maintained, but it should give you a good start as to what is out there and where you could find a niche.

As far as laws being "the fundamental rights and freedoms of a nation"...government defines nations, and rights are not laws, they are completely subjective community standards. Either way, in the majority of the US, the age of consent is 16. If I found a grown man banging my 16-year-old daughter, I would fucking castrate him with my teeth. So is banging 16-year-olds government law, or societal law, or just a right?

Anyways, good luck with the whole 'sovereign citizen' thing.

mods, please.

Yes, mods, please intervene if you feel necessary.

I feel I am morally, ethically, and rationally justified.  I have absolutely no problem with having this thread locked/removed if they, too, believe I am only blowing smoke.

A good game is fair for all players.  His rule created a statistical imbalance.  To win this game, skill is involved to a certain degree; a date 1 year from now is obviously a lot more likely than a date 10,000 years from now, and is a more skillful guess.  My skill was nullified as a factor the instant this rule was implemented for it prevented me from having the opportunity to change my answer to the winning answer.

My pms to both OldEngineer and Goat were civil.  I obviously have no issue with Goat other than I think he is holding 5 of my BTC, but 2.5 would be acceptable to me, and that's because I feel that it would be generous of me to allow him to keep 2.5 BTC.  I do not think he won, pure and simple.  Similarly, I have no problems with oldengineer outside of this situation.  I'm sure he's a good guy.  I just think he should understand that I think he screwed me over on this one, even if he doesn't see it the same way.

You've got no skin in the game. Get the sand out of your gyne and go to bed.

also, I am not exactly 'trusted' in any community, so a service of trust like escrows is kinda difficult or off the table all together for me.

You, and basically everyone else. 3rd party escrow requires a level of trust and centralization that run afoul of the purpose of the currency. There is not one single 'trusted' escrow service out there.

What counterfeiting are you talking about? Actually, what are you talking about in general? You do not concern yourself with legal as you do not associate yourself with 'criminal gangs (bank, governments)'? Unfortunately, you cannot disassociate yourself with an institution that you are actively participating in. You only conform to lawful...which is what exactly? Laws are put in place by the government...

Lastly, I hate to be a grammar nazi, but 'thou' is an archaic second person pronoun...the word you are looking for is 'though'.

And what do you mean by 'you people'? Did you run this through google translate or something? Cause you sound incredibly condescending or seventeen-in-your-parents-basement...I can't tell which...

It appears you are running eight GPUs under windows...that gets my vote as the problem.

Are these shipping yet? If not, what's the ship date?

-rph


We're currently in manufacture with our revision B PCB with the larger power regulator.  Our expected ship date for pre-ordered BitForce Singles is mid January.

So in other words, 4-6 weeks?  Cheesy

You guys just won't it die, will you? What next? Connecting me to Tom Williams and MyBitCoin? All I have to say is bring it on! But please don't let that big Randy guy sit on me.  Grin


Tom William isn't a far stretch is it ? Wink   The big Randy guy is nasty!

I even heard Randy eats his pets: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzbmqbmuVsY


I eat anything that isn't nailed down or metal. What?

Are Phinnaeus Gage and Bitcoin 100 the same person? They seem to carry on conversation ... discuss?

That was done with complete transparency. Bruno just likes to talk to himself . . .

(note the bruce wagner ellipses)

NOT TRUE, RANDY!


I'm afraid it is, Phin! First time Randy got it right.


As my prize, I am willing to accept the first bitcoin100 wallet, though this is short of the agreed upon payment.

there's plenty of 'islands' out there that are just a few metres below sea level, I wonder how much it would cost to build your own island on top of one such 'island'.

Well, most of those are either within the coastal space of an existing nation, too unstable to form a foundation, or both.

There are a fair amount of US controlled uninhabited islands (read: bird shit covered rocks in the middle of nowhere), many of which you could probably squat on without ramification. No one has really cared about them since WWII.

side note about submerged islands: look up Cortez Bank off of San Diego...you don't want to live where 120ft swells pile up...

835  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mining Spike in December? on: December 16, 2011, 10:38:11 PM
So when I move bitcoins around I can pay a fee to speed up the transaction but don't have to. This fee then goes along with the 50BTC to the miner that helped me with the transaction by mining.

So that spike could indicate that somone needed a presumably very large transaction that a large fee would only be a small percent of to go though very quickly. Perhaps part of tranding.

It could ofc be a mistake, a somewhat expensive one.

It is definitely a mistake, the transaction was not very large and even a small fee nearly guarantees entry into the next block right now.

Some pools don't pick up no-fee transactions though, so it can take a while. I just pay a fee...I've got a nickel on bitcoin's success any day.

Only major question: where will money come from? Teleworking? Fishing? Harvesting and recycling floating garbage? Rich investor types only? (buying up lots of Bitcoin and making money on skyrocketing deflation?)

Obviously you didn't read the thread.  Money comes from selling infrastructure services to some yacht owners on the move, many of whom are pensioners trying to save living money while seeing the world in retirement; among other sources.

Sorry, I was thinking more ahead as a means for people to permanently exist as part of this flotilla, not as just a business venture for a "mother ship"

Gotta start somewhere Smiley

One misconception about the ocean is that there is stuff in it. That really isn't the case once you are away from the coast, save for migratory species and huge pelagic predators which are only there because they are on their way to a coast.

Places like the Sargasso Sea are damn near devoid of higher life, and are so far from anything that it is impractical to think of them as a garbage dump you can pick through.

I am all about the destructive scratch test...I wouldn't do it on really nice stones since you are gouging them, but having a beefy mineral collection let's you determine authenticity pretty easily. A steel file and a chunk of zircon go a long way for determining hardness.

Then he posted this and I made the ban permanent and also banned his alts (all 21 of them):

21 alts?!  I was giving him shit because I thought he had four or five. 

Seriously...I think the Atlas Identifier only has like, six of them pegged now?


Yeah, I've been trying to figure out the other 15.  wtf man, I guess he really can disguise himself?! Tongue
Or maybe the other 15 are just 0-post nobodies.

I am about 95% certain sabiwabi is atlas: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=51322.0
