Isn't "joeyjmr848" enough of a scammer tag already?

Weed addiction?

PS: If you have a real medical condition you need a doctor's prescription and those don't normally require you to buy meds with bitcoin.
I know that health insurances are quite different around the world, especially in developing nations such as the USA where getting medical help might be difficult if you're not able to pay :-)
But there should be a standard way of getting your needed medication in your country even if you are personally broke.

We need an ignore+ option to ignore all posts from someone plus all posts quoting him :-)
Maybe the next forum software can include this...

Onkel Paul

You shouldn't do that. See what can happen when you aren't awake?
Maybe you should arrange with your mom to watch in shifts so you don't miss the next delivery.

Self signed with GPG key is good but depends on two non-trivial assumptions:
- GPG key of the site's operator is known and trusted
- customer knows how to use GPG in the first place.

Onkel Paul

Use the source, Luke!
(it's open source, you know...)

Changing the code to compute a sliding average over the last half hour or so should be a bit easier than implementing a faster prime finding algorithm :-)

Self-signed provides security against network sniffers but unless your users import the certificate into their browser from a secure source they could be subject to a man-in-the-middle attack.
Commercially issued certificates are quite a bit better because they are always traceable back to a root certificate - MitM attacks are much more difficult for ordinary criminals, although I think there have been cases where criminal governments have compromised CAs to obtain fake root certificates for such purposes.
As a buyer, I would be a bit uneasy when a site uses a self-signed certificate and switches between http and https "arbitrarily". Those sites that use https only for the payment pages typically state that very clearly to avoid confusion.

Joey obviously is a big a**hole and deserves all kinds of shit, but sending pizzas his way is hurting the wrong people: pizza maker and delivery driver.
Whoever is doing this, stop it.
If you can't come up with legit ways of pestering Joey without annoying innocent third parties, just leave him alone.
His life is already pretty miserable, and it will most likely get worse over time by his own actions.

The link to the Newbies section is right there in the open on the starting page of the forum (you admittedly need to scroll a little).
If a newbie can't be bothered to scroll down to find it most people here are very likely not interested in what he wants to say.
Newbies can still read forum posts, and if they "accidentally" find the newbie section they have hopefully read enough to write meaningful posts themselves.

I think I have a little bit from that time and would perhaps sell it for the price.
However, I would have to add storage and maintenance fees on the order of $90/BTC ... :-)

Welcome!
There are more than enough trolls here, so tread carefully. Be extra cautious about those who use no punctuation :-)

It's probably stolen from somewhere. If his intent was to scam people, he would most likely not use a real photo.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. I must admit I never tried to transfer the ~20 XPC that my aging i3 CPU mined when XPM was young :-)

Currently Primecoin seems to be set up with no transaction fees.
I don't know whether that will change when the network is swamped with transactions.
I think that since there is no rigid reduction of mining rewards, transaction fees are not needed to keep miners happy as with Bitcoin :-)

localbitcoins.com könnte ne Möglichkeit sein. Oder finde einen Bitcoin-Stammtisch in deiner Nähe.

Aber es stimmt, so simpel wie man das gerne hätte geht es wohl nicht. Der Markt ist einfach zu klein und zu speziell - Gold wirst du zur Not bei fast jedem Juwelier los, aber bei Bitcoin gucken wohl die meisten Leute wie Auto.
Verkaufen hier im Forum ist auf jeden Fall auch eine Option - aber dazu muss man sich erst mal schlau machen, wie man das sicher regelt. Keiner will sich gern besch*en lassen, aber man weiß nie so genau, ob das Gegenüber nicht genau das versucht...

Looks like mikhael's github repository has been DDOSed :-(

Sorry if I am a bit unresponsive ATM - real life/work consumes 100% of my time Will have some time in one or two weeks (hopefully).

Onkel Paul

Actually, primecoind also runs the wallet (you can execute transactions using its RPC interface) but it does not have a GUI.
If that's what was meant by "without running the wallet" everything is fine :-)

I'm considering to throw out my TV set. Bitcointalk entertainment is definitely of better quality.
