Nope, guess I didn't make it clear in my EDIT:, I got it built after installing the *-static packages. Which I probably could've avoided by just doing the ldconfig thing you mentioned. Thanks for the cool script.

Now if only someone would make a .rpm and keep it up to date...

I donate blood every 8 weeks, and I go see movies about once every couple months. I earn 'points' that I can redeem for free movie tickets by giving blood. This makes going to the movies cheaper. If I didn't earn points, I would still donate blood, and I would still go to the movies.

What BitVPS is doing is similar. They are offering a discount for people who want a VPS, and also want to donate to slush. Without this, they would probably still be getting a VPS, it's hardly an impulse purchase market afaik.

Have you thought about selling shares on GLBSE? Instead of paying back a loan you could just pay dividends. I'd buy shares.

I get the same error, I have both zlib and zlib-devel installed.

EDIT: Installing zlib-static solved that error. I then got a second error for -ldl and installing glibc-static solved that issue too. Now that I look at the output from TT I notice that the build failed in a completely different place, mine failed at the very end when it's using the new makfile on bitcoind. So his problem is probably just not having zlib/zlib-devel installed.

Also, I think my problem may have been because I didn't remove the Bitcoin/ directory after some failed builds earlier from missing dependencies.

I think he said earlier that the jobs are provided by different people and the company he gets them all from just puts them together. So the different people are 'competing' for you to do their jobs by providing more pay and making them easier than others. So by not doing that job, you're convincing them that they need to pay more to get it done.

I'd rather not post my website and brand ideas on a public forum..


So putting the request in fiverr is the only way to not have everyone see what I want my logo to be?

I would like a logo as well, PM me for the details. Is there any way to do this through fiverr and still pay in BTC? It would be nice to be able to give you a rating there, but I'm not sure how it works.

This! Allowing perhaps millions of transactions per block would open up the possibility of something being done with m/ (messages) namespace. Pruning them seems like the ideal solution if it's an instant messaging scenario, but keeping them around would be better if it's an email sort of scenario. Either way you'd need lots of transactions to be possible.

Imagine a decentralized  IRC or IM client where you control your security with encryption and no centralized authority censors,limits access,or monitors messages that are difficult to encrypt without plugins.

For example, say you want to have a secure place to discuss terms, perhaps you need to give some personal phone or address information, or website access passwords, and don't want it getting into the wrong hands. You can use their n/ name to verify who they are with a GPG key and/or signed message verifying their ownership of a public bitcoin address, you can then discuss terms with a secure namecoin instant messaging client (encrypted text that if desired gets pruned from blockchain), then you send your bitcoins to the address you verified belongs to the person you're talking to.

If problems arise, the agreement is stored in the block chain, and you can provide the decryption key to anyone to verify that the other party has not fulfilled their obligations.

I understand that i left some security holes in there but you get the general idea. I think it would be very cool.

/end lofty dreams for namecoin

Yah! Just showing 'the highest was x in total people earned y' and other things that don't identify people sounds great.


I can't find a simple explanatory wiki on it but I managed to find some discussions on it when it was first made:

Forum discussion: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=6428.0

Original pull request: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/183
Second pull request: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/524

GUI pull request: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/582 - has some discussions on the use cases for it

tldr, basically you have them do signmessage either through the gui or with bitcoind like so:

signmessage <my public address> "I own this public address and coinworker.com can use it to identify me"

This would return a signature, you'd have them put this signature on your website and then you would do:

verifymessage <user public address> <user supplied signature> "I own this public address and coinworker.com can use it to identify me"

which would return 'true' or 'false'

True would mean they own that public address and signed that message "I own this.."

False would mean they gave you an invalid signature.
 

It was up for awhile but now pplns is down again.

PPLNS seems to be down. :-/

I ran into a task (32 pts) where it had part 1,2,3 and then the same exact part 1,2,3 right after. Is that an accuracy test or..? I'm using chrome if that's relavent. Also another task's instructions, I think a 'is this a good image advert' one, tried to imbed a pdf as an image and it didn't work so I had to view source on it.

I also think it's a bit weird to automatically send you on to the next task without telling you. People like knowing they completed something before they have to start the next task.

I also think it'd be cool (and good business) to have a leaderboard like system where you show "Look at all the BTC other people are earning!" so more people get involved.

You could use the new 'sign message' feature in .6.0 to have people sign a message saying "I own this public address and coinworker.com can use it to identify me" and then use the verification address as a password or something, and let them use that to set their payment threshold.

You can sign a message to prove you own the address. This is a feature coming in .6.0.

Idk how it works, but basically you choose a public address, and you can add a bit of text like "This is a refund for x and x and x" click 'sign message' and you get a verification key that the other party can use to confirm that you signed the given text "this is a refund...", and you own that public key.

At least that's my understanding of what it does, could be mistaken.

To specify a specific card you can use the -D option and add a number at the end. This number will always be the same afaik as long as you dont remove/install cards.

For example:

DiabloMiner-Windows.exe -u user -p password -o pool.address.com -r port(e.g. 8337) -v 2 -D 2

Where 2 would be the number for your mining card. Since you have 2 cards, it could be either 1 or 2. Diablo tells you what card it's found and is going to use so trial and error will get you what number you need to put there.

I don't think the people who ideologically like bitcoins are against corporations, they're more against central banks and money being in the hands of others and capable of being locked and taken away by government intrusion. These are more libertarian ideals (re: Ron Paul). I think the fact that the more hash's and btc you have the more power you have is kind of super capitalist in a way.

Having traders get involved is a good thing imo, people familiar with the industry are adopting it more and more.

That google maps link throws an error for me:
"https://mtgox.com/api/stats... could not be displayed because it is too large."

Does it make the UI unresponsive with no indication as to what is happening? Sounds like a bug to me.

Fwiw, I wouldn't use a GUI that used wxWidgets. Love the Qt version though. Guess everyone has their preferences.

Lol, no no no no, it was an error that was shown for only a few minutes or so, I shoulda taken a screenshot, it showed me having 77,000 *M*H. Basically everyone who got automagically switched to PPLNS from PROP had crazy hash rates, including you.

That's what the UPDATE: simplecoin posted was referencing:


I only have ~700 MH and i've had to take it down quite a bit in the past few days as I've been fiddling with the setup.

Woo! Took like a week but I can finally reply here. ;p


[what I wanted to post on the 10th]
I thought it was cool when the prop block was found and everyone who was there had huge hash rates lol. I was pullin 77,000 MH
