1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] TOKENCARD on: May 02, 2017, 08:03:25 PM
Site didn't allow contributions immediately at 16.00. So don't know how some sent instantly - anyway it all went so fast...

Contribution button was working right away, had no troubles.
Only sending to the ETH address was a bit of a hassle, too many transactions for ETH to handle.
But that's a scalability problem, not caused by Tokencard but by ETH.

How did you try to send them? I didn't have that issue at all, I sent and confirmed in the first minute via Mist.

How can someone send ETH before the time of the opening? Some one sent ETH 5-8 mins before 16.00 GMT and took all the bonuses....

I don't see that in the history for the address on the blockchain?

You can get it for just 1 cent, I don't want the other stuff that you get for paying over $4.

I'll pay you in Bitcoin, just name a reasonable price Smiley

Just bought Deus Ex: Human Revolution from this website and all went well. There was a small delay with getting the Russian VPN online on their side, but they fixed it quite fast.

It was a simple process and very painless, the support was also very nice. Recommended.

God damnit programming logic didn't help with this one!

I didn't even think about the alpha bravo stuff, I've never known any of those really besides the ones you hear in war movies/games :p

Do another sequence game Smiley

315 Mhash/s with my Sapphire HD 5850, I've also overclocked it to whatever the maximum is in the standard ATI overclocking part of Catalyst Control Center. It's 85 celcius on maximum load at all times.

Anyway...to make a long story short, I finally made it into the bar and had to belt down a couple of beers while I told my customer to fuck off for making me come out here so late with such a shitty neighborhood around. I told him he could have his BTC once it passed and that there'd be an extra 10% if that didnt happen before Wednesday.

You went drinking alcohol when you had $10,000 worth of Bitcoin in your stomach? LOL

http://www.expansys.ie/nokia-n8-symbian-smartphone-silver-white-16gb-218588/

I won it from a competition, it was open but it was never used. It was only opened by the people who ran the competition to make sure that all of the stuff was in it. It's in perfect condition, it has never been used, it even still has the screen protectors on it. Comes with all of the standard Nokia accessories you would expect.

Serious offers only please!

12  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: [MINER] Phoenix - New efficient, fast, modular miner **BFI_INT support!** on: July 09, 2011, 10:02:22 AM
Code:
[09/07/2011 02:36:59] Phoenix r101 starting...
[09/07/2011 02:37:03] Connected to server
[09/07/2011 02:37:03] Currently on block: 135403
[0 Khash/sec] [0 Accepted] [0 Rejected] [RPC]

It never moves up in hashes....can anyone help?

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 with an ATI 5850 and using these parameters:

Code:
-k poclbm DEVICE=1 VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=7

I ran it without the device parameter and it showed me a list of my devices, the second one which is ID 1 is displayed as Cypress which I assume is my ATI card? The first one is my processor. It does work when I select my processor as the device, although as expected it's extremely slow.

Followed this tutorial exactly, except I didn't use 11.04 as I don't have access to it currently. Any suggestions besides updating to 11.04?

try to remove vectors and BFI_INT and probably will work... I guess it's something wrong with your drivers, or your card doesnt support neither vectors or bfi_int

Have tried it like that too, same results Sad


hmm, try another kernell...

and why your phoenix starts with r101 starting... when you download this?

I got it from the topic I linked with the git clone command, only a few hours ago so it should be the latest version.

I think I'll just switch to a lightweight Windows installation, Ubuntu has been causing problems on that mining rig that I've setup. 11.04 wouldn't even boot on it.

Yes, you used -D 0. I swear I'm going to add an error for that.

Do not use -D unless you want to exclude cards. DiabloMiner by default uses all cards.

Actually I didn't, I used this exact command:

Code:
./DiabloMiner-YourOS.sh -u myuser -p mypass -o api.mining.cz

Link says 403 forbidden, mate.

If you click on the link it doesn't work, you need to put it in your URL bar and press enter.

But yeah, this is clearly not legitimate, don't do something stupid like downloading and running whatever that site gives you, it's clearly malicious.

Of course I know about 0day exploits, the odds of you getting hit by one of those is very low. What kind of websites do you hang around in order to get hit by a 0day exploit? I don't really want to know, insecure websites maybe or else some black market websites that are suspicious in the first place. What are the odds you visit a large compromised website with a 0day exploit before either the website is fixed or your program has been updated?
Those odds are actually pretty large.

http://www.zdnet.com/blog/security/businessweek-site-hacked-serving-drive-by-exploits/1902
And those are just two massive-scale examples, that I found in 5 minutes of Googling.

Also I'm aware of the fact it's not the plugin that is exploited, but it is the main source of where people get exploited by it, because they click on a link to a malicious PDF file without even thinking about it, or even noticing that the link is to a PDF file. Also you can remove the plugin just fine after installing it. Also you're assuming that I use Adobe PDF Reader, when in fact you are incorrect, I use Foxit PDF Reader and have been for several years.
You mentioned Adobe PDF Reader in your own post. And do you honestly think that removing the PDF reader plugin is easy enough for the majority of people to do it? How many people do you think are even aware of the capability to remove it?

Please spare me your conspiracy theories about Microsoft, they aren't giving you spyware like you said.
It's not a 'conspiracy theory'. There have been multiple articles that detailed Windows updates that were sending back more information than they reasonably should (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2003/02/28/windows_update_keeps_tabs/ , http://irregulartimes.com/index.php/archives/2010/10/22/important-windows-update-microsoft-privacy-bing-bar/). I have in fact seen two updates in the update list myself in the past few years, that explicitly mentioned the information they would be sending back... which was way more information than was reasonable for a system update (these were not even security patches, but 'enhancements'). Not to mention the WGA tool and the dubious privacy consequences it has (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/03/09/ms_wga_phones_home/ , http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9001540/Microsoft_faces_class_action_suit_over_WGA_tool?nlid=38&source=NLT_SEC). And yes, the WGA tool was automatically installed through Windows Update.

Oh and in future when talking to me, please don't use such disgraceful language, I'm treating you with respect, I expect the same in return, even if you disagree with me. We're all adults here, so start acting like one by having a mature conversation rather than blatently attacking me verbally. If you do not start doing that, I will not respond to you again.
And what disgraceful language would that be?

I can see why you may be paranoid, but the way you're talking, it's like you're saying that just because your connected to the internet and using a web-browser you're going to get a virus, but it's just not true. It's giving people a false paranoia of how easy it is to get a virus, when really for most people who are PC savvy and not stupid, it isn't that easy to get yourself infected with something malicious. I've never gotten a virus in the several years of using this PC, I use a light-weight but powerful anti-virus of course, but that's not the point. I simply don't do the things that most people get infected by which are:

  • Download random software
  • Pirate software
  • Turn off automatic updates on everything
  • Give permissions to Java applets (or run Java at all)
  • Hang around on black-market websites or other websites with a malicious userbase

Although if I was keeping a large amount of BitCoins, I would probably secure it in a savings account which I have the all important wallet for stored in an encrypted key, just to be secure. Although there's no reason to start making everyone panic and think that they're just going to get exploited out of nowhere, there are steps you can take to prevent the chances of you ever getting a virus, some of which are common sense, some maybe not.

I've gotten viruses many years ago in a few different ways when I was still new to computing, but after learning how software exploitation works and what viruses are and so on...I've never gotten anything as far as I can tell. Of course you could say that I've been infected and I simply do not know, but if I have been, then they've done nothing with the vast amount of accounts I have and information I store on here.
And there you are hitting the crucial point. The vast majority of computer users is not tech-savvy. If we want Bitcoin to really succeed, it will have to be accessible and secure to a lot of people who are not tech-savvy. Knowing how software exploitation works should simply not be a requirement for using Bitcoin.

I agree with you there.
