So FTC has been the most profitable coin to mine on and off for the past 24hours and multipool is ignoring it, forcing 66MH/s worth of miners to bypass the mutipool feature and point directly at the FTC pool. Tell me the reason you have multipool again?
The 66MH/s might as well be using any old FTC pool.
The 66MH/s might as well not be mining. Have you not been following what is happening in the FTC world? All the blocks that are mined are being 51% attacked, and valid blocks found are being orphaned. So if all the blocks you find disappear before you get them, why should Multipool point all of the miners at a problem coin atm? Of course I have been following it, there has been an attack and it's up to pool owners to make sure they peer with trusted nodes. The more hashing power the less likely the attack will succeed, so I thank the FTC miners that kept with it. I don't know who the trusted nodes are, I haven't heard shit from the FTC devs, as far as I know they aren't posting here and FTC forums are down. If this coin is so great they should be supporting it here. I can't make the decision to point the pool's hashing power at FTC just to help them out and having people lose out on their earnings. When this happened with SXC I just shut it down. I left the FTC pool up so that if people want to mine FTC they can mine it directly. And it's obivous that we don't have anywhere near the hashing power to match the attackers, otherwise all of our blocks wouldn't be getting orphaned. Uh, I've been on the Feathercoin forums all day. I'm guessing you're using the wrong link. It is: http://forum.feathercoin.com/It hasn't gone down at all that I know of. On that note, for the time being I agree that leaving FTC off the multipool is a good idea. Hopefully they get the issues resolved soon. The forum was definitely getting DOSd last night and at some point today (I tried to access it earlier and got a MySQL error). But anyway, if someone was to distribute a list of trusted nodes I think that'd be a great step toward combating the attacks. I put in a request for a list of the trusted nodes. Also requested that they be posted public somewhere. I'll let you know when I get a response!

What ways are there to earn Bitcoins that are not mining or buying them ? Guess what I'm asking is are there jobs that pay in Bitcoin ? Y'know earning the good old fashioned way, honorable, away from the games of speculation and all the sordidness that comes with that. If people had ways to earn Bitcoin other than using a country's currency than maybe these so-called powers couldn't manipulate their laws to accuse bitcoiners of whatever they think up; laundering, etc.
One way is from free faucets. http://coinfaucets.tk has a lot of them and rotates them/keeps up with their timers for you. Just bookmark it and run through them as they come off cooldown, ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) .

I've never even heard of that before. How does this work, or how do you do it?
It isn't used much as it hasn't been fully integrated into the client yet. It's only possible to do it from the API and even then it's complicated. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Original_Bitcoin_client/API_Calls_listHave a look at addmultisigaddress, createmultisig I came across this site recently that supposedly makes it easier to do this: http://www.bitescrow.org/Haven't tried it out yet though. Thanks for the info! This is kind of cool, but the site is pretty confusing. They really need a guide that helps better explain who gets what and exactly what steps they need to take.

I wouldn't use an escrow unless I knew the legal address of the person / business holding the coins. That's just common sense.
You might not need to trust the escrow as much as you think. You can do a 2 of 3 tx. These can be awkward to do as there is no GUI for it yet, but basically how it works is the BTC are paid to an address where each person has their own private key for it (one for buyer, one for seller, one for escrow), you need 2 of the 3 private keys to spend the money. This way the escrow cannot take the coins and run. The only way the BTC can be spent is if any 2 people agree to the transaction. I've never even heard of that before. How does this work, or how do you do it?

Yea better payout here. I'm betting really aggressive, because I'm trying to complete the challenge before bike sells. Huge chance I go bust, lol
What is your method anyways? Just going based on stated odds and hoping for the best, or using knowledge of performance to try and evaluate who will win? I follow sports a lot. I'm def not a pro handicapper though. I will take some iffy picks if odds are there though. Got ya. I don't follow sports at all, lol. So I've looked into doing the betting thing but I wouldn't even know where to start. ranlo feel free to follow me xbox or kingofsports is good to.! I'll follow you guys for a while and see how it goes,:).

Hi everyone, I've just set up a server-side pool node based on standart bitcoin+pushpool+SimpleBTC frontend scheme. This pool running on one of my servers and have NO FEE AT ALL. No transaction fee. No pool fee. For now I'm just testing the server on enough resources to handle the load. It would be great, if together we could find at least 1 block solution. =) I'd appreciate it if anyone would participate and join the server. Pool use Last N Shares (1/2 Difficulty) round scoring. If you interested then after registration arktos . tk/register.php use your miners with following settings: Host:arktos . tk Port: 8341 Username: <your user name>.<miner name (default is 1)> Password: <your miner password (default is 'x')> Address: arktos . tk:8341
Let me know how it goes!
P.S. Sorry for my English - it's not native. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
Without a fee, how are you going to handle the financial burden if more and more people start joining? The hosting costs will keep rising.

Now this was a pretty handy link! Thanks for aggregating all the sites so easily. =)
One issue that came up for me -- NoScript consistently reported click hijacking/redirection errors if the area I was clicking on was in the main frame, within an inch or so of your header or footer frame. I'm guessing whatever layout system you're using is causing the header and footer to stretch invisibly as a top layer over the main site being visited. The solution was to scroll so that the element I wanted to click on was at the center of the main frame.
Thank you very much for your input! I will see what I can do about that, ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) .

Wow, that's a great image, ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . I read through it as well. The problem here is that these laws are still theories and can be broken. Will they? Probably not. But there is still a slight possibility.

Hey Goat, give up this idea. Buy the car of this video and youll be king ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I'm lost. No idea what kind of car that is, lol. Is it rare/expensive or something? It's just an old mustang with some sort of really stupid side mirrors. Thanks for the info. Shows why I didn't recognize it, XD.

Got ya. Thanks, ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) .

lol I remember Dank once asked for a loan of about 1/4 of all Bitcoins that had ever been mined at that time ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) But this is different, he was a scammer. I never consciously scammed anybody, I failed to make one payment. And I don't have a brother. Well, it seems that the mods also consider you as a scammer. He was once a hero it seems... Imagine if there was sucha movie. "The scammer hero" directed by mprep. The text on the poster of the movie says„He was once a hero it seems...”... Ah... imagination. Please give Samuel Jackson a role in that movie! Instead of "from zero to hero" it is "from hero to zero" XD

What do you mean when you say that you bet "2 units?" Is this like 0.01 BTC (so 5 units would be 0.05 BTC)?

its ok.
Thank you. Hope you find it useful, ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) .
