1  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: BTCShop.org - I can finally reveal my online store that accepts Bitcoin! :) on: May 21, 2013, 11:31:20 AM
Hi Zakendoen,

just placed an order & the bitcoins are on their way from my MtGox account ;-)
Will the order details site (the ??">https://btcshop.org/checkout/order-received/?order=???&key=order_?Huh?? URL - censored for the forum ;-)) update on how much has been received?

Maybe you should make it more clear which shipping option to take - I ordered from Germany and was presented with a 0.19btc and a 0.09btc option, of which I picked the latter. Seemed appropiate as Germany is in the EUR1 Zone and your FAQ stated 9 EUR shipping fees.
At least translate the table under that FAQ point to English and add BTC prices for shipping to it Smiley

Out of curiosity: How do you handle your local taxes stuff?

Last but not least: Please add your legal information to the site. Even if this isn't required by law (in Germany it is, but I am not sure if that's a european directive or just some local thing to us), this will increase trust massivly (!).

Cheers,
ArchimedesMP

(ofc I will let the forum know how long shipping took)

I always thought operating this kind of service would not work, but it seems like there are enough people out there who just can't wait to make a few BTC/USD from... well... nothing? oO

welcome to what we do! do you never question the ethics of playing with money to make yourself money at other people's expense?

you are providing no service. I have worked many jobs, and while day trading (crypto or otherwise) may be one of the more profitable, it is not one that I feel good about morally.

when you fix a man's roof, you can feel satisfied knowing you have provided a service. speculating on currency, or potatos, or virtual potatos, or whatever, is just bullshit in any form. to differentiate between one form or another as more or less crude is a bit... tunnelvision.

Who is speculating on currencies? In case you meant me: I just mine, I don't trade (except BTC->EUR when they are worth more than what I invested energy-wise).

What I meant with "service" is offering a website to speculate on virtual potatos based on a ponzi scheme. Unlike a bitcoin (which value could be determined by the effort, that is by the time and energy used to produce it), there is no economic value associated with some dataset (if you think otherwise, I can sell you a script to create a lot of datasets in very low time!).

Take a look at wemineltc news:

It came to our attention that some payouts last night did not go out as they were supposed to. Long story short, we were trying some new code to try to avoid paying fees and we made a typo and a few payouts went through before we noticed. As of now we have manually resent all the payments that failed and you should have them now.

I can't post the link (newbie), but just go on the website and press news. It's also mentioned on the homepage.
The news is a bit longer, maybe we will be getting fees...

Hm, I got an offer for a spanish car a while ago, was a scam.
I don't want to say moketillos offer could be illegit, but nobody with his head in the right place should buy anything for close to 10000 bucks if he can't be sure to get it, especially if he uses a irreversible transaction like BTC.
And a car? How do you know it's in good shape (technically speaking) without looking at it?

But, well, if you wanted to take holidays in Spain anyway, than why not?
Just make sure to include the Bitcoin payment (including a fresh target address) in the contract.
That way, neither the buyer nor the seller can argue there was no transaction.

Nice machine man Smiley
But I am afraid even for what you use it usually, programming a GPU might be faster (but, depending on your memory requirements, you might want to take a look at a nVidia Titan or an equivalent AMD card).

One other note:
You might want to compare that performance to linux. When I use x264 for encoding on my Xeon the performance gain is close to 10% Wink

And another blockchain waiting to go down, similiar to FTC (though mining it was lucrative for a day or two).
I bet a lot of people are going to sink their BTC into CNC like they did with FTC.

I'd like to request whitlisting because:
* I operate a small cluster of 13 miners (one GTX680 each, they are used for another project but are idle every other day) & a stratum proxy
* I can administer linux & windows servers (though I only run one physical and a bunch of virtuals nowadays, as I am not working as a sysadmin anymore)
* I wanted to ask technical questions about the cudaminer implementation (I know some CUDA)
* I have been reading the threads I was interested in for a few month [not to many], but never saw any good reason to join in until now
* Oh, and having a B.Sc. in Computer Science with focus on security/cryptography, I understand the theory behind bitcoin quite well...

Yeah, problem is: Experienced users are forced to spam around before they can join the discussion for which they signed up.
So now I have to make 5 spamposts just to ask one legit question.
