Hey, do you still want to trade BTC for ISK?
Sorry, I'm back home now. Loved Iceland very much though! Fantastic place. |

Hej allihopa!
Imorgon flyger jag till Island. If anyone feels like exchanging BTC for iceland kronor, let me know. Exchanging for cash is nice for anonymity, so that is why I'm writing this now. I need to know tonight, if I bring it or not.
Ha en fin kväll!

I don't think anyone here, even if they knew, would admit it.
I can tell you for sure though that no government will ever declare Bitcoin illegal. It's too dangerous, too ineffective and it exposes fear. What's gonna happen instead is that they are going to attack everything significant that is Bitcoin-related. The first and most obvious aim are Bitcoin exchanges (this is already happening).
Don't for a minute think that any government would appreciate the idea of Bitcoin.
They could label it as a tool used to fund illegal activities and terrorism (and they would not be wrong). Even if they technically can't stop it, they can make people lose trust in it and therefore make it into something only a small niche are using. |

Hi all,
I have currently just over 10k Kh/s (LTC) and roughly the same for BTC ( 10 k MH/s ). All GPU based. What would you recommend I mine to yield the most profits?
Thank you.
Just do the math - there's a lof of bitcoin and litecoin calculators that even help you with it. |

Does this work with 10.8.3? Is there any way you can put this back online? I've been trying to get LTC mining going on my hackintosh for days and I can't find anything that works. It's driving me nuts! I like to have my laptop mine some btc and ltc while I am at work, and today when I was lying in my bed (and I think about life and I think about death) I packaged my litecoin and bitcoin miners together in a nice little .app. If you would also like to save two seconds in your terminal routine feel free to download the package and use it. It's quite ugly and absolutely not made with any kind of quality. Expect nothing of it. But if you have to, you can download it from here. Bittorrent: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27720447/Mine%20everything%21/Mine%20Everything.torrentHTTP download: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27720447/Mine%20everything%21/Mine%20Everything%21.zipTo configure! First! Put BOTH the apps in /Applications/ You need to edit one file using the Terminal. When that is done, you won't have to do any hard Terminal things, promise! When you have placed the two apps in your /Applications folder, open a terminal and write this nano /Applications/Mine\ everything\!.app/Contents/Resources/script and on the second line you should write the url of the pool, your username:password. This line is about litecoin. Save it by hitting F2 (hint! on a mac you hit fn+the button that makes the screen brighter!) and pressing Y when it asks if it should save or not. Close the Terminal! Open the Mine Everything! app. It will open one window that is for your litecoins and one terminal with Diablo's miner. In there you enter your pool url, username and password. And, well, you're done. If you want to close the btc miner just close the terminal, if you want to close the ltc miner, just close the window named "Mine Everything!" Neat! If you want to get rid of the coins you've earned, here are some addresses. Thank me for this package: 1M7nzsWq6buBMRiVdLee4JvBRaB6fwnqj9 (btc) or Lanzaazo95LxRYejoyGpNto39CRuvtZPCt (ltc) But you really should thank these people: Diablo-D3 (who wrote the bitcoin gpu miner): 1DbeWKCxnVCt3sRaSAmZLoboqr8pVyFzP1 MacCompiler (who packaged DiabloMiner): 14V7RiwD3joqDF2Jv6zst3ZnQsR686u9iH I've stopped using this, and hence supporting it. Luckily, the world is probably a better place without yet another ugly GUI  . I suggest that you compile it yourself - then you can get it optimized for your hardware. But compiling can be a daunting task if you've grown up with graphical interface and binaries - don't worry. I know that the cpuminer by pooler (I think) is avaliable as binary to download. To run it, you run a simple command in your terminal. If you save the command into a file and name it WhatEverFileName.command it will be double-clickable in MacOS. Good luck, if you require help please reply here  |

You can attempt recovery with the experimental build linked here by "PullTester" (Windows), it will keep on recovering when previous salvage attempts would fail: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/2410Backup your wallet before and after. Try to recover old backups of your wallet. The link to the binary there is now dead. Still lost trying to recover this wallet... it's just downright insane that Bitcoin doesn't use a standard, human-readable file format for the all-important wallet.dat file. >.< Sure is ridiculous. This was quite a while ago, but I remember * Backing up my ~/.bitcoin (~/Library/Application\ Support/Bitcoin on OSX) * opening bitcoin-qt * quitting it * copy the wallet.dat from the backup to the new ~/.bitcoin * Start bitcoin-qt again, let it download the block chain * Moving my funds to Electrum |

I know some governments have taken note on what we are doing, but there has not been any ban or moves against bitcoin, yet. What would happen if, say, a rich western European country decided to make bitcoin illegal? What would happen with our trust in the bitcoin?
Do you know (not speculate) any people in government, and what they think of it?

Updated to Bitcoin-QT 0.8.1beta. When loading the program I get the error "wallet.dat corrupt, salvage failed". Where do you start troubleshooting? I have tried recovering from a backup (`scp me@server:path/to/my/backup/of/wallet.dat ~/Library/Application\ Support/Bitcoin`), but still get the error. I've removed everything in ~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin except for the wallet.dat (recovered from backup) and reran the client, to no help.
Extremely thankful for any help in troubleshooting this.

Don't listen to the trolls, OP! Apples computers are no more or less compters than other makers/posix distributors, and they come shipped with a GPU and opencl for the most part (so you save a couple of hours of configuring!). I doubt Apples defaults are optimized for crunching hashes, and AFAIK there is no easy way to change them but to install Linux. But we arent going to be bitcoin millionaires on our crappy single GPU anyway! Diablo's miner is written in Java (i.e. platform independend, but will take some extra CPU if that's a problem for you). I use it. There is someone who wrote a interface with menus in sh, but he had an old version of the miner so I recommend you download if from DiabloD3's own threads. Here's a little guide to set you up, easy as 1 2 3! 1: Download and extract Diablo's miner somewhere. 2: Then in the terminal, type (without quotes) "vim /usr/local/bin/bitcoin-miner". This will open the VIM text editor. You hit "i" (as in Insert mode) to insert this text: /Path/to/your/extracted/DiabloMiner/DiabloMiner-OSX.sh -o us2.eclipsemc.com -u lorem_MacBookPro -p qwerty -r 8337 -v 2 -w 64 -na Obviously replacing "/Path/to/your/extracted" with the path to your extracted miner, and changing the username and password and port to that of your pool (if you don't want to mine on my behalf of couse ). To save and close VIM, you hit <Escape> followed by (without quotes) ":wq". The : means "command mode", "w" means "write file to disk" and "q" means, well, quit. 3: Then when you feel like smashing hashes, just type "bitcoin-miner" in your terminal and it will automagically start and be super nice. That is it! Ask me anything if you wonder! And never be mean to noobs, and never be a troll! |

Alternative blockchains are a blast, we all know. I mine some, and have for some time been selling them on Vircurex for bitcoins.
They have a neato API, and I wonder if anyone has written a script (or program) to automate it, something along the lines of this pseudocode
if $altchain_balance >=0.01
sell for askprice+askprice/10
end
?
If noone has a script in that manner, I'll write one an publish here when it's done!

If realsolid had been a scammer, he'd cashed out within the first 3 weeks. When 1 SC was 0.03BTC, and there was a market volume > 200k on bitparking. Instead he sat down, reacted to threats, changed a lot in the networking of solidcoin, and released SC v2(and soon v3). Sorry, but putting much hard work into a scam after you missed the opportunity to cash out big just doesnt sound practical for a scammer.
I of course know nothing about whether he is a scammer or not, but if CH was one he maybe thought that SC would be worth more than .03 btc, and decided to wait. And not he would be putting a lot of work into it so that people may get confidence in it again. But who knows! God know I don't . Really couldn't care less about SC and the drama around it. |

Most of the pools I've seen ban botnets. Are there any pools that encourage them, or just don't care?
Just wondering.
I know nothing really, but bitparking and eligius pool require no registration and a botnet could use that to their favor. But why use a pool at all? If a botnet is big enough to generate whole blocks then they should all solo mine but have the generation sent to the bonnet operators wallet, and if the botnet is not big enough to generate blocks, then it's a waste of time to even write the malicious code. In any case, to write a botnet is really really bad and I'm sure you mum would be disappointed in the person who did. So don't. |

Hm, just wanted to put this out there and see what are your opinions.
But let me ask you this, if someone attacks you and your family, what do you do, do you just stand there and let the attackers run over you, or do you fight back with all you've got ?
Isn't it so that you receive what you give (most of the time) ?
So I was thinking, in the case of Afghanistan, Al-Qaeda and the US was on terror.
From what I've learned the US and the coallition forces are trying to eradicate Al-Qaeda from the surface of earth. I'm not the slightest surprised that this really leads to even more anger and willingness to attack US and US friendly parties by Al-Qaeda and their supporters.
I was thinking, what if the US forces stopped killing and stopped attacking, but rather did their best to help building infrastructure, social systems, providing a higher standard of living etc. Would not this make the people of Afghanistan welcome the US more, and the urge to do terrorist attack etc. would be reduced ?
After all, who wants to kill your helping hand ? But the attacking hand, who wants to be kind to it ?
Sure enough, the 9-11 attacks was devastating, but haven't there been enough killings now. There's been so many reports about drone attacks, and innocent people being killed by the US. Would it not make sense to stop waging war against 'terrorism' if the goal was to stop terrorism ?
Or perhaps there really is no wish for peace, because what should the US forces do if there was peace everywhere ?
What do you think ?
I think you need to learn about the history of Islam before making such suggestions. This is also true for every culture that once has been military dominating. Therefore you can't ever trust a brit, chineese, american, native from the maya or inks tribes, someone from mali, someone from former babylon or egypt, swedes, germans, french, portugeese, russians, spanish people and a fuckload of other people. Also, most wars and terrorist attacks and murders and other gruesome things are done by men, and most commanders in both historical and present wars have been men, and most soldiers are men. Therefore, no men can be trusted. OR! Guilt by association is a filthy thing that should not be confused with arguments. Also, to distrust muslims. Really? |
