I understand why it is happening, but to force him to pay a fee because someone else got nuked/banned etc is ridiculous. He shouldn't have to reconfigure his VPN do to this. This sites owners need to handle this better, especially since they are banning their sponsors customers.
He has notified PIA, I'm curious to see what they say about it.

So I recently turned on a friend to Bitcoin and he just registered here on this site. He is a Private Internet Access customer and when he registered his account was automatically blocked. It says he has to pay a fee to post on the site because he has 2.8 evil points or something, just because he was using a VPN.
So Bitcoin.org is blocking the customers of one of its sponsors and forcing them to pay money to post?
Is PIA aware of this?
I understand there is a spam problem and the site owners can do as they please, but doing this to a sponsors customers doesn't seem like a good idea.
Now my buddy thinks all this "Bitcoin thing is a BS scam".

May I suggest: Sellers may not list on BitMarket Square any goods or services that would be illegal for them to sell under any laws which apply to them. Buyers are responsible for any laws that apply to the goods or services that they purchase from listings on BitMarket Square. BitMarket Square will not be held liable for any transactions that occur due to the listings on BitMarket Square, and will comply with laws and investigations if and when needed.
That way, you don't end up banning items simply because they are illegal in one place and not the other, and you still state that illegal goods/services are not to be listed. If you personally aren't comfortable with certain items being listed, add that as well, but you'll take flax for it. Just my .02BTC, I'm no legal expert though. Yes, thats good. Thanks for the tip.. We dont have any personal objections to any particular items, just want it all to be legal. Its better for the site, and better for the Bitcoin image in our opinion. |

Well, it was meant to be a bit funny to illustrate a point, but maybe it doesn't come across that way. I'll re-word it here in a bit.
Thanks for the feedback...

Hello All, I would like to let you all know about a new site we have started, BitMarket Square - https://www.bitmarketsquare.comThe site is online marketplace forum dedicated to the Bitcoin Economy, a place where people looking to sell, buy, or trade goods and services can go and advertise their wares. BitMarket Square gets its name from Market Square, which was the town center "Farmers Market" area of Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia since its draft in 1699. In 1722 King George I officially authorized markets and established fairs at Market Square for “for the Sale and Vending of all, and all Manner of Cattle, Victuals, Provisions, Goods, Wares and Merchandises, whatsoever”. By the end of the century, there were six markets a week selling hams, oysters, fish, fowl, sheep, wheat, corn, and a good deal more. Most famously, on July 25, 1776, Lawyer Benjamin Waller proclaimed Thomas Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence from the Courthouse steps. We feel that BitMarket Square embodies and combines the spirit of the original Market Square, and that of the BitCoin movement. Please come by and check it out, and sign up if you want to sell or are looking to buy. Its free to all users! **UPDATE**For anyone interested, we have rewrote/shortened the rules to what we hope is more to your liking.... https://www.bitmarketsquare.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6Thanks, The BitMarket Square Team! www.bitmarketsquare.com |

Seems correct. What you see is your client chugging along at about 2300 khash/s until it found a share in the pool. Chances are high that you didn't find a winning block that the Bitcoin network would accept, but you've obtained a tiny sliver of the pie once that block is eventually found by someone in the pool. Your client thinks it found a winning hash though, so it reports it as such.
As you have a relatively powerful CPU there, I'd look and see if your GPU supports CUDA or OpenCL. A GPU miner (like one of the 4 *.exe files you already have downloaded in the RPC package) can achieve fairly high khash/s figures with less strain on your CPU. The GPU on my laptop, for instance, supports CUDA although it required a driver update before it would work, and it's just as fast as my two CPU cores combined running at max speed. This is with a relatively weak GPU, even by laptop standards.
I have a nVidia GeForce 6150SE which, according to the GPU Caps viewer does not run OpenCL or CUDA, only OpenGL. That after I updated to the latest driver from nVidia's website. |

So I got up and running puddinpop's RPC miner for cpu on my machine. I have created an acct at slushes pool, and registered the worker. Here is a sample of the output of the cmd prompt. The [".........b4e31fcd......."] is a really long string I didn't feel like typing out  ...
2349 khash/s
2346 khash/s
2347 khash/s
2348 khash/s
2343 khash/s
2333 khash/s
Server Stats : 719 active workers at an estimated 0 khash/s
0 shares in current round, which started
2346 khash/s
2347 khash/s
2348 khash/s
2343 khash/s
2333 khash/s
2011-02-15 14:37:43 Found Hash!
Sending to server: {"method":"getwork","params":[".........b4e31fcd......."],"id":1}
Server sent" {"result": true, "id": "1", "error": null}
2348 khash/s
2343 khash/s
...
1. Is this the expected output? 2. Is it working properly? On my Bitcoin client window the bottom info area says this: {blank no khash/s} 20 connections 108257 blocksIs the khash/s being blank supposed to be like that? Thanks for the help..... |

You cannot GPU mine unless you have at least one of OpenCL or CUDA.
OK, that solves that. Thanks |

First, here is my computers stats: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ @2.6ghz NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE Nvidia driver: 8.17.12.6099 Windows Vist Home Premium 3gb ram GPU Caps Viewer says:OPEN GL: Core:2.1 - GSL: 1.20 No OpenCL no CUDA OK, so I have installed and am running the latest Bitcoin for my PC. Im getting about 2100 khash or so from the CPU. I am thinking I should use the GPU to mine, and enter a mining pool also. I'm not a programmer, and am somewhat new to the Windows OS, but I am familiar with MacOS and the MacOS command line. I am running Bitcoin on a pc because I don't have an Intel Mac. Some limited experience on Linux also. I have read LobsterMans write up but it still leaves me with these questions: 1. GPU Caps says there is a new Nvidia driver, called R266.58. Should I install that? 2. Can I even GPU mine with only OpenGL, or must one have CUDA or OpenCL? 3. If it is possible to use my GPU, will using it in such a fashion shorten its life? 4. Can I just enter a pool using the CPU? 5. If GPU mining on my machine is possible, what miner should I use? 6. If only CPU is possible, what miner should I use? 7. I was thinking on entering the " http://mining.bitcoin.cz/" pool (i think that is called the "slush" pool?). Which of its listed miners should I use for my machine? It lists: • jgarzik's CPU miner • Diablo's GPU miner • m0mchil's GPU miner • puddinpop's CPU/GPU miners Thanks for the help in advance… |
