1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: MC2 ("Netcoin"): A cryptocurrency based on a hybrid PoW/PoS system on: December 26, 2013, 08:48:41 PM
This seems interesting.  Similar enough to PPC but still different. 
2  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [ANNOUNCE] Abe 0.7: Open Source Block Explorer Knockoff on: December 26, 2013, 11:33:33 AM
Hi! I have a problem with ppcoin. Quantities seems to require a 100 multiplication to be right. For example, a transaction that ABE stores as 0.100 should be 0.100*100= 10 PPC

With bitcoin, litecoin and testnet ABE works very well

PS: I'm using the ppcoin branch merged to the master from git


How did you get past this ?
Chain not found for magic number e6e8e9e5 in block file /home/dirrk/.ppcoin/blk0001.dat at offset 0.[/u][/u]



Nevermind I was able to fix the issue.  I was not using the peercoin branch.  Now my issue is that the address are in the wrong format.  I changed the config to reference the 0x0037 type but it still displays incorrectly.  I am rebuilding the database now in hopes that it will fix it.

I think I have everything set up and ready!

I will be promoting the same way I did with btc/ltc/ppc.  Using social media and word of mouth.  I work with a group of 300+ IT engineers for one of the largest Newspaper / Media companies in the US.

I would like to purchase $3000 USD worth of bitcoins.  I can cash deposit into your bank account. I have 6 Transactions with Tangible Cryptography and 2 with Alexmat.  I am only interested in US transactions and real people.  I live in VA so if you want to do local cash transaction I could do that too.

It can be done, and it's not easy. I don't think you need to worry about it for the next 10 years at least.

I lay awake at night, worrying that by the next day, Bitcoin prices will have gone beyond 10^8 USD and the divisibility limit will be a problem. Wink

Counting down the days. Wink

12  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: VPN Providers (That Accept Bitcoin) on: September 14, 2012, 02:39:58 AM
Recently my VPN provider asked me to upload my scanned ID, showing my picture, full name etc.

They claimed it is for "fraud" prevention, which makes sense from their perspective, but not from mine.

When I'm connected to my VPN I expect some privacy, isn't it (one of the things) a VPN is for?

Besides that, they already have my credit card number, full name and address on their records. Should I dare to misuse their service, my bank would identify me in a second and they could be in my door within minutes.

But they still feel it's Ok to ask their customers for even more data, I didn't like it at all.

What if they're (secretly) recording all websites and data transmitted via their VPN and now they'll be pinning it my ID on their systems. Not that I have anything that secret, but it shouldn't matter, I want to keep my private stuff private.

I have written back to them complaining about this policy, but haven't heard from them yet. I might be better off just leaving them.

So please if you know of VPN providers with more respect for it's customers privacy, please share them here!

Would be great to find one with:

- Fast speeds
- Written promise of not logging customer's traffic
- Private payment methods such as Bitcoin
- Servers in many countries

I use https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/

They do not log
They have fast servers all over the world
Bitcoin Payments accepted

I stopped doing the 2x play and started doing the 1.338 on BTC Dice today and instead of doubling you just quadruple.  Start with .025 bets or .1 depending on how brave you are.  I played it for an hour and won 2 bitcoins using .1,.4,1.6,6.4,26.6  @26.6 you would have lost 5 times and the odds of that happening are 1:841.  In the end I did play again and lost .5 bitcoins because I didn't want to wager a bunch but I feel like the risk is less mine.

try 25.6 next time.


Good catch

The only people profiting from bitcoin are hackers. Fuck this shit.

I haven't lost anything yet from bitcoin but it does seem like hackers are just having a field day with it.  As much as everyone hates Mt.Gox because of the cost to put money on there and the loss of anonymity, it seems like they have the best methods on there.  I feel like bit floor should have known better than to have all of their coins in a hot wallet after btc-e and other hacks.  
16  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Its Official Pirate Has Defaulted!! on: August 29, 2012, 06:25:59 PM
I followed that texas corporation link.

One of the 3 owners of gpumax being Michael Thalasinos, whom is also involved in another corp. titled J Q Greetings LLC.

JQ Greetings = some texas greeting cards store located:

545 N Cowan Avenue # J
Lewisville, TX    75057-3198

somebody needs to show up and start asking questions about one of his business associates.

Added: http://jqgreetings.com

If you show up there and this Michael dood is somebody completely different like a 88 year old guy, then we have to add fraud to the list of complaints against GPUMAX and friends.
the other is this guy;
http://labs.mirror.me/googleplus/117414643911834461861


Speaking of fraud...  Is anyone else curious if the "some company name I've never heard of" was on that bad check written to Lowes, is actually going to be that of a little known company called 'Intellipants'?

no clue either, but the clerk was happy to send copies.. still waiting on them though..

Brother: Rylan Shavers: http://labs.mirror.me/googleplus/102130329224092004752

17  Economy / Gambling / Re: The price of bitcoin will be >$12 on August 27th, 11pm PST on: August 27, 2012, 04:27:39 PM
I feel like this was the best accidental scam and here is why.  If you use the bet quoted above about the "Mt.Gox high price of the day", the person who bet for it to go above $12 can always just place all the bets and then at 10pm PST place a buy order for $12 and win even if the average price was $5.  In the future you guys should use the weighted price. 

tl;dr I am willing to bet at least 50BTC in escrow that Mt. Gox high price of the day will hit $15 within 9 hours!

LOL. Try that.

I'm willing to take that bet.

If only pushing the market was that easy.

So it won't allow you to overpay? Well I didn't know that.  Still new :-)

Did I calculate the stats right? How should I calculate house odds? Thanks.


Assuming balanced die Wink

Solving
x=.0278*3+.0556*0.5+.0833*0+.1111*1.5+.1389*0+.1667*x+.1389*1.1+.1111*.5+.0833*1.7+.0556*0+.0278*7
x=0.98691948

Payout=98.6%
House Edge=1.4%

Get out of here with that math.
