This is the first time that I have come across this form of restriction to stop trolling / spamming etc.
Inconvenient, but understandable.

As Steve Gibson says though "convenience and security are mutually exclusive"

Hiya Guys and Gals


I have been mining bitcoins for nearly a year (approx 360MH/s across two machines)

I just want to post about two problems when my probation is over.

The first is regarding
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=78307.0

I have one machine stuck at the same block. (was running Bitcoin 0.3.24, then upgraded to 0.6.0) same problem.
I have moved the entire contents of appdata\bitcoin folder (backing up wallet first) and redownloaded the entire chain. The chain is at 99% having got stuck at block 176947 again.
I have checked the correct port forwarded on my router (to the correct PC) and added bitcoin.conf with the correct port number.

The second problem is minor at the mo, regarding CPU usage (100% of one core) when minimal or no CPU should be used. I havn't concentrated any effort on this problem as I can do with the extra heat being generated at the mo :-)

Other than that...

I am batman
