Yea I saw those, but was curious if anyone had cheaper offerings here.

More or less solved it on my own. Updated electrum on my windows machine to try to get it running but i gave up, installed electrum on my ubuntu machine and retrieved my wallet from the seed.

Like it says above, i need a cd key to play dark souls on games for windows. Single player can be fun only for so many hundreds of houra. I'll offer 1 btc for it starting, otherwise just name a price.
5  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Electrum.exe not starting, any help? on: November 26, 2012, 03:41:48 PM
I've been using the Electrum wallet over the past month or so with no troubles but the other day it wouldn't connect to the servers. I opened the wallet yesterday and it gave me a "connection problems" error at the bottom right and it wouldn't display any of my funds or history. I tried switching servers and restarting the client but nothing happened.

Finally i just restarted my rig and tried running electrum but now it wont even open. It shows up in my processes everytime even indicating cpu is diverting attention to it, but its not visible anywhere else.

Anyone had a similar problem?

Yea, the only thing was that i was running one instance of guiminer and even checked my process and apps to make sure. I have done the half and half like a dummy before, but i really have no idea what happened this time :p

Im not entirely sure what you mean. I did try restarting various times trying just different workers on deepbit, then i added a worker for mtred and it worked. However even now ill get connection errors after a few hours of mining on deepbit and it stops my miner. The mhash issue is no longer a problem though.

I'm not entirely sure exactly what it was, but switching pools for deepbit to mtred corrected the mhash issue. Now i can switch back to my original deepbit pool and have it work just fine too.

Don't rush to help anyone  Grin i already figured it out myself.
10  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Seemingly random drop in half of my mhash. Any help? on: October 15, 2012, 10:12:01 PM
if it helps i know its not a reporting error on guiminers behalf because the hashrate deepbit has been reporting is the same as guiminers.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Im nearing the moment where i have to make the most important decision of my day and my bowels are not giving any me anymore time: Rise to relieve myself in the local library bathroom in which both toilets are overflowing a brown, green and yellow slur onto the floor or do i make my way down the block in search of another public restroom?

update I pooped in the second floor of the library, safely inside a well groomed bathroom stall.

^^ You should talk to my uncle. He lives in Argentina now but lived in the Brazilian amazon for a year or so and took ayahuasca with the local natives.

I've been considering DMT for a while now. I've tried lsd, mushrooms and salvia and they were all pretty fun and had me in a definitely spiritual state of mind but nothing near what DMT can do, id imagine. When winter comes around and the stress from making enough coin before the paycut dies down i might mingle with some cubes again.

So I had my 5830x2 set-up running smoothly for about 5 months, OC'd and everything at about 520-560mhash and running from guiminer. I never had any trouble overclocking or going between different clocks until last night when i switch my hdd out of my 5830 rig. However now, both cards are ranging between 50mhash and 200mhash as a rare high. At one point guiminer told me both were getting 30,000 ghash, i wish  Cry

I replaced the hdd i had that was running win7 with another hdd that was running ubuntu natty narwhal lts. I did the hdd switch because i've been trying to set up a second rig but ubuntu and the hardware from my backup rig were having a bit of a disagreement.

When i had the ubuntu hdd booted up in my 5830x2 machine everything seemed like it was working fine and i was trying to set up a miner that would actually work on it. I tired the how-to guide here to no avail then tried other methods, ultimately trying out BAMT which seemed like it was working up until it didnt work. BAMT was the only place that i edited anything regarding my gpu; in the config folder i uncommented the lines that set each gpu clock at the very bottom and reset the numbers so that i'd get the same mining performance as before. After some frustration and a few hours of not being able to properly start mining with ubuntu, i switched the hdd back to the original win 7. Thats when i first notied that my cards were not reaching their previous clockrate.

I tried a few things already such as rebooting with just the win7 hdd in, restarting guiminer, changing flags, a whole lot of afterburner tweaking and thats about it. When i changed the clock on afterburner it did show that mhash would drop and raise with the bar, but it each gpu is capped at 160-200ish mhash even when im clocking at 890mhz.

Sorry for a wall of text but thanks ahead of time if you read through it.

Are you saying this from experience or only by definition?  If I told you I meditated and left my body, would you tell me what I experienced wasn't real, even if I said it was?

Yes.  It is by definition, not real.

"Hallucinations involve sensing things while awake that appear to be real, but instead have been created by the mind."

You either have to accept that it was a hallucination, or decide that it wasn't a hallucination and was in fact real.

There is no such thing as a 'real hallucination'.

Do you accept that experience of the hallucination was real?

The experience was really created by the mind.  It existed.

It was not real.

So then youre saying something can exist without being real. With that logic we could infer that heaven exists through his "hallucination" of it. If we want to go down that route then we can say that every experience is created by the mind and therfore all experiences exist but are not real, i.e music, relationships, movies, conversations etc...

The big difference you seem to be misunderstanding is the source of the experience.  Was the experience caused by our interpretation of real external stimulus?  Or was it caused by the brain itself?

Here's another definition for you.  Words mean things you know...

"A hallucination, in the broadest sense of the word, is a perception in the absence of a stimulus. In a stricter sense, hallucinations are defined as perceptions in a conscious and awake state in the absence of external stimuli which have qualities of real perception, in that they are vivid, substantial, and located in external objective space."

i understand what youre saying about how hallucinations arent real in the sense that theyre not physically present so that others can verify their existence. Like you said, words have meanings and deeper implications, so in this case to hallucinate is a personal experience, much like being in deep thought, a trance, or dreaming. That being said you cant deny that those experiences mentioned exist in some way. The thoughts a person were thinking exist, the dream state a person was in last night existed, the state of mind of someone who is meditating exists. They exist because of real phenomenea such as someone who is dying from something real and in that time they bring this heaven thing into existence, nawmean?

Dank is making a good point. This guy might not of seen heaven in terms of my heaven or your heaven, but he probably saw a "hallucination" of what his heaven is as a defense mechanism to keep his ego intact during such a life or death situation. Although what he saw might not be "real" it is still real because it was real to him and him alone.

Let me tell you a story. I'd always been a responsible person with money. I worked long hours, day and night, just to get the check and pay the bills for this run down apartment i can barley afford. Also, the wife had been without a job for some time now but had the appetite of a six figure earner. Boy did that broad really burn a hole in my pocket. Either way, between the rent and the gold digging wife i was usually left in the middle of no money. So i spent a month putting together a plan to make me some extra cash, maybe get out of this dump and get the wife a boob job. I heard about bitcoin mining and it caught my fancy and after putting some time researching it i decided to lay my nest egg. Now you see, you can help me recoup this initial payment. Ima just need bout' tree-fiddy.
