Dynamic difficulty is still planned to go live today, just working out a few issues with it.
Will dynamic difficulty affect the optimum intensity/threads settings on cgminer?

That's a nice looking webpage you got there. Be a real shame if anything was to happen to it.
Send the bitcoins to 1B6MKB2MqY5LpM66fz4WJAeoer6ELGVGTx and nobody gets hurt.
/Russian gangster accent Hmm, doesn't sound very intimidating. Why would cybercriminals target such a tiny place anyway? Is DDOS that cheap nowadays? Hmmm.... *registers BitCannon.ru* *creates site that automates the DDOS<->extortion<->BTC process*

decentralized digital currency is the people's weapon against international banking cartels. Nice turn of phrase. Mind if I steal it? ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Who cares? I mean really, why seek approval of a dead guy? It's not like he was infallible and everything he approved of was smart and good... Yes he did some important and by the looks of it correct thinking on the subject of economics, but I see no reason to cling on to his persona. It's his good ideas that we should be spending time on. I like to think that the Most Honorable Sir Hayek would be a fan of Bitcoin. But I would never presume to speak for the master. Let's let the facts and future history speak for themselves. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) He is your master? He certainly isn't mine. Hayek's body of work represents his mastery of economics. Why would you take what I said in such a silly, personal way? "by the looks of it correct" Hayeks' massive intellectual influence speaks for itself. We don't need your half-assed pedestrian appraisal of his theories, much less your snotty critique of our great respect for the person who elucidated them. Nobody said he is "infallible." Take your strawman argument and shove it. Then grow up, son. ![Kiss](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/kiss.gif)

What am I doing wrong? ![Embarrassed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif) Worker names are case sensitive in the pool currently. I think thats your problem. Copy it _exactly_ as it appears on the My Workers page. I swear on the St. Satoshi memorial that the problem wasn't case sensitivity. Anyhoo, it seems to magically have started working. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Ragepost of Bill O'Reilly "freaking thing sucks" meme posting averted. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Things like the debate over global warming are purged, and Wikipedia presents one side of an argument as 'consensus'. What Wikipedia's insistence on 'consensus' means is that only one view will ever be presented and the most aggressive group purges all dissent. And the most aggressive group over there is an authoritarian left-wing - that hates sound money. Knowledge is power and their goal is to limit and shape everyone else's. NPOV is of course totally Orwellian, they've simply declared their POV as 'neutral'.
UNACCEPTABLE. Nuke them until they glow. I am very willing to pay good BTC to make it happen. For the Lulz; Viva Satoshi!

Firewall is off. Proxy is up (ran as Administrator), getting templates, and listening on port 8332. CGMiner won't connect. I've tried network IP, computer name, computer name with full domain, and even 127.0.0.1. { "url" : " http://10.10.XX.YY:8332", "user" : "icebreaker_NN", "pass" : "Z" }, What am I doing wrong? ![Embarrassed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif)

The Deep Space Vagabond is worst than any lottery, any gambling casino, any search for alien life, and gives false hope. Other than that it is fun. :-)
OK that settles it, I'm in. *fires up Beowulf cluster*

Fire them all!
There are plenty of unemployed Americans (~10%) that would love to have a cushy, secure job with tons of benefits and paid vacations.
This would be pretty much the best thing ever. I really hope it happens, but it never does. Reagan did it. He knew the only way to deal with communist union thugs is to take them out back and shoot them! Peace through Strength

Soo much for freedom *uch* ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Freedom? In Italy? ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) If enough Italians wanted to be free, they would have long ago hung from a tall tree the obscenely rich creepy old charlatan in the Vatican. These are Romans after all; they voted fairly recently for actual capital F Fascism, 2000 years after trading their Republic for an Empire.

Tell me, why are people so bothered by Bitcoin now?
These people hate Bitcoin for the same reasons they hate gold, Ayn Rand, Ron Paul, and libertarians. They know they are second-handers. They know they are parasitic leeches. They know they are useless tax eaters, living off the productivity of virtuous rational value holders. They hate anything and anyone that threatens to dispel the illusion that they are moral, and superior to their betters via the sanction of the victim and death worship of altruism. They know their time is limited, and the day of reckoning draws nigh. They know they will perish when the IRS agents' US dollar paychecks cease and the welfare checks stop. They hate this reality, and will strain with every misguided ounce gram of self-preservation to prevent or delay the inevitable. They are ashamed of their own worthlessness, and have created this entire world order dedicated to hiding their shortcomings behind a tissue of lies and a wall of coercion.

2) refused to comply in good faith with pirate's request for PPT account information
3) refused to comply with his own BitcoinMax account holders' requests that their account info be passed through to pirate
He had to do these two things, for reasons that I explained elsewhere. He had no other way to protect those of his investors who did not wish their information given to Pirate. I don't care about his other investors, especially those who decide to not accept the terms of the default. They forfeited their right to a share of any settlement by refusing. PPT customers agreed to pirate's terms for PPT funds by signing up. At the point where they stop abiding by pirate's terms, they have broken the agreement. As an aside, it's ludicrous to trust pirate (and an anonymous PPT operator) with your bitcoins but not trust pirate with your account info. Had he passed through information to Pirate, there is no way he could have prevented Pirate from trying to settle his debts directly, depriving other of his investors of their rightful share of those payouts. If you and I each half own a house, you can't cut the house in half, sell half of it, and keep all the profits as "your half". We are each entitled to half of the proceeds of the sale of any part of the house. You are not fully entitled to all the proceeds of the sale of half of it leaving me to try to sell my half by myself. The recalcitrant other investors have no "rightful share of those payouts" for the reasons I stated above. In contrast, I (by intending to comply) do have a rightful share. And paybtc had no right to deprive me of the opportunity to negotiate or whatever directly with pirate. That's why he deserves a scammer tag. You are using the wrong (outdated) frame to conceptualize the PPT fund. Before the default, your metaphor was apt. After the default (IE during the wind-down) the PPT fund is no longer like a house. That is the same problem paybtc encountered (and unfortunately passed through to his customers). Previously indivisible assets become liquid in a bankruptcy, for purposes of distribution to creditors. We asked him to leave the Before Time (the Long-Long Ago) and join us in the post-default present, but he refused to accept this scary new reality. In terms of the house metaphor, think of it as a foreclosed property being sold at auction (liquidated) and the proceeds being divided among those following the rules set by the executor. The executor is pirate in this case, which is a conflict of interest, but who else could do it? ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Um, I didn't understand much in that post, or the one above. You high bro?
You aren't supposed to understand. It's all part of a viral teaser ad campaign for next seasons' mind-bending plot twists. Will our antihero, the erstwhile pirate, be caught by the intrepid Phinnaeus? [OR ARE THEY THE SAME PERSON?!?]
What will become of the swarthy PPT operators' reputations?
Can iCEBREAKER ever get his coins back from BTCMax?Keep watching to find out!
