I'm pretty sure that when someone spend years in the darkness of a room, working on a computer, at some point it has to have some negative impact on his physical appearance.

That's right, they're all 40 year old virgins with permabeards who still live in their parents' basement.

Living in UT, it is really easy to do private transactions, so I most likely won't buy out of state.
But I have a question...

My kids have Front Sight memberships and two are now old enough to take the handgun courses.
I need some 9mm handguns for them and would also like to have a 22 conversion kit so they can practice with the cheaper rounds on the same gun.
I also want something that is DAO so they don't have different trigger pulls.  (Personally I like Sigs which doesn't fit the discription).
Maybe Glocks?

Any suggestions?

Glock 26 (sub compact 9mm)

I carry a G19 and my wife carries a G26.   I highly recommend the G26 for your kids.  All the 9mm's can take from 10 to 33 round mags.

Personally I don't like the conversion kits.. and I don't feel that you get much out of "practicing on the same gun" without recoil in .22lr.   9mm is cheap enough to practice enough.. can cut the cost in half if you teach them to reload.

Futhermore.. i have a Lee Loadmaster with 9mm dies for sale Smiley



You let your children carry lethal weapons? That's scary.

Just so you know, the account would usually be worth less than the game key, since people prefer to activate games on their own personal accounts.

Please edit the title. It scared me to death

It obviously didn't, since you'd have to be alive to post that.

Mt.Gox is a good alternative to Intersango.

8949  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: satoshi-client: why are the balances in "listaccounts" bogus? on: September 30, 2012, 01:18:25 PM
You created labels (accounts) for some addresses, and then you received bitcoins with them.  Then you spent them without specifying a label (account) that they should come out of, meaning they were deducted from the "" account.

Accounts are just an internal bookkeeping system.  The actual transactions in your wallet don't carry the tags with them.

Now that's new to me.  I thought, by assigning some address to an account,
I'd essentially tell the satoshi-client to consider any tx-endpoint (input or output)
involving that address (no matter how or where it was generated) as belonging
to that account. Kind of like partitioning the wallet.  (I didn't really understand
how "move" worked in that model, but when one is new to a concept then
perceived inconsistencies are not immediately minded, but sometimes kept until
it becomes clear how to really resolve them.)

As it seems to me now, each transaction's money itself is associated with an
account. Received outputs are associated to the respective address's account,
but spends (at least, those not generated by the satoshi-client itself) get booked
on the "" account. And "move" may be used to update the inter-account balances.

Getting money to one account and paying from another (already negative
balanced) account now seems oh so "real-world-money"-ish to me ;-)


Yes, you can consider Bitcoin real world money. Smiley

Hello all, I've been watching the forums and GLBSE exchange for some time and want to ask few questions. I own some considerably big mining rigs and considerable amount of money held in it. However lately I had some financial problems so first I thought of selling part of it. Then I came across GLBSE which could help me to solve the problem: I could get some money for shares sold and also keep doing what I like most.

I'd like to ask a few questions here before starting anything serious:

* There are already quite a few Mining "companies" running on GLBSE, would there be even a place and interest for new one?
* How does the verification procedure go? I don't want my ID scan and other details floating over the internet.
* Is it safe? Well, I guess it is, there wouldn't be so many listings if it weren't. Right?

Thanks.

Answer to 2: Nobody can know whether the ID you submit is yours or not Smiley

And to respond to your other questions:

1) Depends on what you would call decent speed, you can expect to make ~0.04BTC per day at current difficulty.

2) There will only be around 21million bitcoins, ever. Supply and demand, the more people use it, the more value it will have.

3) Get some better/faster hardware.




Awesome thanks man, I plan on getting a new rig set up specifically for bit mining and a couple other projects, something that I can run for weeks without worrying about it Overheating. I just wish I had jumped into Bitcoins when I found out about quite a while ago. Maybe a year or so. But better late than never!

You're too already too late, Bitcoin was only good from the beginning to around late 2010.

My Name is razalloverain, as you can see. But you may call me RAz.

Just wanted to introduce myself quickly and ask a few questions:

1. I recently started mining, i'm running at like 115Mhash/s, Is this a decent speed? Can I expect to make anything at all?

2. I expect that bitcoin is a currency that consistently gains value? Could someone explain this to me a bit?

3. Is there anything you guys could tell me to help me increase my earnings?

Any help or suggestions to help me make best of this would be greatly appreciated.


=D

RAz

1. You can make BTC if you are poolmining. If you are solomining (in 2012 lol), you probably won't get lucky.

Also, I am away from my PC right now, and I wanted to take advantage of some of these *free bitcoin offers* (the very small .0001 amounts for watching an ad and what not) Is it safe to use one of the free *wallet* sites that generate a wallet for you, then I could just transfer the Bitcoins when I get home? Thanks in advance for answers!

Yes, of course.
Many of them are trustworthy enough to keep 0.0001 Bitcoin safe for a few hours.

You'd be surprised at how many states in the U.S. have some sort of "open-carry" policy. In a lot of states you're usually ok to open-carry your weapons so long as you do so responsibly.

Yes, you will get the occasional person who will call the cops freaked about the "guy with the gun" but when the police approach so long as you make it obvious that you are not dangerous, you are licensed to open carry (if necessary to be licensed in your state) and so long as your weapon is holstered in an obvious location where it can be seen.



Is that even related to OP building a supercomputer?
8958  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Solo mining - Do the coins automatically go in to your 'Wallet'? on: September 30, 2012, 12:10:07 PM
You are good there then although solo mining BTC is pretty much an iffy proposition with the diff being so high, you may want to give LTC or PPC a try those are lower rate chains where you have good chance to get a block within reasonable amount of time then you could trade them for BTC.

I actually have my two least capable miners pointed at solo mining. One is solo mining LTC and the other is solo mining BTC. I figure since it's pretty much a long shot for me anyway until my first 5870 arrives either Monday or Tuesday I might as well put my two most useless miners (my cell phone is doing solo LTC at about 8 hashes per second (LOL) and I have the cpu on one of my computers soloing BTC at about 50 KH/s (again, LOL)).

Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, BUT some day at least one of those two miners will get lucky...

Then I have the rest of my miners pointed at OzCoin with liecoinpool.org as my failover...

Heh, good luck with that.
I tried solomining with CPU (3MH/s) for a week, no luck at all. Smiley

LOL, thanks...

I forgot to mention the CPU died after that week.  Sad

Both of my cpu's have been mining just fine for a month. If you keep your hardware properly ventilated, dust-free and your moving parts well-lubricated you're generally ok...

I don't think CPUs have visibly moving parts, but meh. It's gone anyways.
