I'm affraid that elite, seeing they are loosing battle, don't make just a little bit more fair digital currency compared to nowadays fiat, but still centralized, and use all of their media and political power to promote it as a new-world currency.

Seems that we're having only one lone idiot here, and that's you. Do you see how many people are against you?

You have my full support. I'm linking this on Reddit already and Tweeted about it. Such behaviour of betting sites is outrageous, they should loose their reputation and credibility!

You are a cold-hearted *erk. Guy lost 10k dollars! I'm on his side and he is fully right! Anyways, the problem is that Bitcoin-qt sometimes asks and sometimes doesn't ask for tx fee? So how can it be forced? I don't see that option.

That really sums it up, and it's fundamental difference compared to fiat. No one is forced to use it, but people do want to use it because they know there is no central issuing agency that can play with inflation however they fucking want.

OKPay is Bitcoin processor also.

Here's Reddit link. Please give me ups there if you feel like.

Everything started actually few months ago when I decided to try to order Mastercard OKPay plastic debit card. It turned that they do not want to send card to my country. I said OK, I will keep on checking and maybe some day they will remove my country from the forbidden countries list.

You should know also that I'm verified member there and they have all data about me. Gone through some shit while I was verifying myself there, but that's another not that much fucked up story.

2 days ago, I saw my country is delisted, and I decided I should apply for card. I submitted my real data, not a single lie or intentional fuckup.

Today I received an email stating: "Hello, we are sorry to inform but card issuer bank does not produce and send card to XXX. The card order has been canceled. Thank you."

So I said ok, at least I can tell them to put my country back on the list of forbidden countries... But I was unable to logon to site and make support ticket! After I received that email, they blocked my IP address, sending me to blank page in Firefox. Tried the site in Chromium, I was redirected to some generic ad site. Tried the site from Tor network - yep it worked.

You should remember this is happening while my OKPay account is filled with money. No explanations, site just ceased to work from my IP.

So I managed to send money back to BTC-e somehow (details not needed, but it wasn't direct), and I decided to once again tell the community, and I'm not the only one.

DON'T DO ANY BUSINESS WITH THEM, THEY CAN TURN THEIR BACK ON YOU AND STEAL YOUR MONEY FOR NO REASON AND NO EXPLANATION. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED...

P.S. They blocked 2 Tor exit IPs also, but one "new identity" solves it all.

Listen to what Vitalik the wise man says:

"No honest (or semi-honest) miner would want to join a selfish pool," he suggested. "Even if they do have a small incentive to [join], they have an even greater incentive to not break the Bitcoin network to preserve the value of their own Bitcoins and mining hardware."

And this smells the most like a paid jewish FUD.

No, they are not idiots, because idiots don't make money. They use just use "good" excuses for their uncivilized adventure of picking the scapegoats. Fines is what they're looking after. And sad thing is, they get 'em occasionaly. We all know they win a battle here and there, but the war they can't win, but guess what: even they love it that way. As long as there are false laws on the copyright matter, we will have to fight against these greedy and unhuman lobbies.

guys, you're going too far, it's enough that you have your wallet.dat stored on 2-3 computers which are linux.

I dare to say youre full anonymous with bitcoin if you connect through Tor. And being anonymous is good news, not bad news as you say.

Thanks..... So it's whole new way of spamming people. Given the fact it's kind not annoying (because finally you get some bucks , I can say it's even ethical way of pushing ads.

Yesterday, I received 0.00000002 BTC in my wallet. I don't know who sent that. Transaction id is: 02341dbe4198915f807be0a0720d0a4ac37ca4b50bb2e957c49f400a21e7c65f-000, but what's most interesting is that I can't find that transaction at blockchain.info, it does say "Firstbits not found", so it's all a complete mistery for me... Somebody care to explain?

Thanks...

Don't ever order anything from BFL! My single arrived almost 1 year late, and it now can't be paid off. Equipment arrived was already working a lot, that told me very good friend of mine who is hardware expert. They mined with our money. Butterflylabs is SCAM business. Never again!

Long story short:

cgminer output:

Someone can help or recommend what distro and version of distro and ati driver should I use to make cgminer work with 6950?

Thanks

Also, I have the problem on the black machine: for the second time, hashing power drops to about 4-5 Ghps with no obvious reason, frequency stays the same, but the temperature drops to 32-37. Only restarting cgminer helps.... Someone experienced the same?

Please continue discussion here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=270214.0

I ordered batch 2 avalons, 2 pieces, but I received one silver and one black. I suppose silver is batch 1, and there are some differences in temperature readings actually affecting speeds that Avalons can achieve:

I use cgminer's --avalon-auto parameter for them both:

my black avalon shows the temperature for all three sensors: 34, 49 and 51, and frequency is about 340 Mhz, making about 77 Ghps.
my silver avalon shows these temperatures: 37, 53, -1, frequency is about 274 Mhz, making about 65 GHps.

Have in mind that I originally received silver avalon with temperature sensor attached to P4 connector (like on picture), and now it is attached to P3 with above mentioned values, because I tried to make things better. While it was attached to P4, temperature readings were like 37, -1, 53.

It's not clear to me, do I miss one sensor in silver machine? If not, should this one be attached to P3 or P4?  And, where is the connector for the first value (37)?

My firmware is 20130723 on both machines.

Received my Avalon few days ago, installed it with almost no hassle. I can say software seems to be very good, still I lack some knowledge about numbers I get about how well it works... Someone please check them and also you can post your's... I have 20130607 firmware installed. I don't know if it's needed to get it updated...

Temp2 sensor shows -1, and I guess it's not working, but it's not a thread to malfunction of chips or it is?

I'm most worried about discarded number, but actually I don't really know if the numbers above are normal...

Thanks, if only anyone could explain "the wallet has 100 (=keypoolsize) spare keys", that would be nice...
