You have so much criminals there? What is the reason for this?
simple; too many laws. the more laws you have the more criminals you will create. making laws against guns only creates outlaws with guns. if you want less criminals abolish the laws that create them. |

I'm confused. You are certain Bitcoin is doomed to fail on a soon timeline (as opposed to the obvious infinite timeline) yet when the best news for Bitcoin since its' inception is announced your week was made? The sooner Gox goes under the quicker Bitcoin can and will bounce back. It's really just doing damage existing as it is at the moment. Just so we're clear, you just agreed with me. |

Because change was necessary and good but the transition is going to be a little bumpy. mtgox was a hinderance. Ridding our community of this hinderance creates a vacuum in transition. Ultimately our market will flourish where it previously could not. This is all good news for those who aren't preoccupied with the near term state of things.

80 port is down
Is this a permanent change? This is the issue I am having. |
|
|
|
Pool is not accepting connections from my miners all of a sudden. Using newlc.ozco.in on port 80. Web frontend indicates the pool is up but i suspect newlc.ozco.in is not.
Can anyone confirm or deny this? All my miners have been dead since January 28th. |

I will definitely look into doing international shipping! Any games you think I should add?
Race for the Galaxy and Dominion would be nice additions. |

The question is akin to this,
If you walked into a crowded parking deck and hit the unlock button on your key fob for your Honda Accord and the nearby Maserati lit up, the door swung open and a voice came over the parking deck speakers and said your name and welcomed you into the vehicle as if it were your own then when you sat down in the car the key also just happened to fit and start the engine... then would you take the car?
The voice over the speaker system is giving the man the car, even if the voice is lying he might think its a publicity stunt and play along. The OP's Bitcoin example involves the theft of Bitcoin without almost any repercussions. The question here boils down to an ethical one, without the chance of being caught do you steal a random's Bitcoins. Many will steal them, and most of the people that will steal them have to rationalize the theft to themselves. ("No one should put so many coins in one address!", "God gave them to me", "Fate, nuff said", etc..) However no rationalization is needed in your example because you are literally being given a car and the whole thing smells of a publicity stunt. In fact he probably expects himself to be apart of a show on TV and is probably researching hidden camera shows to see if any filmed in the local area. I am tired and rambling, if I make no sense please disregard the above. Yeah, you missed the point, entirely. The described circumstances are not supposed to be rationalized into some episode of Punk'd or anything. I'm talking about honest to goodness magical voices from heaven that possess the speaker system that is really just part of the fire alarm and doesn't have a microphone on it anywhere. I'm talking about the real odds that a Honda Accord key will fit and activate a Maserati ignition with no Ashton Kutchers hiding behind the bushes. That you will generate an address containing 100 BTC is just as likely. |

I notice a great deal of items are out of stock... as in the ones I am specifically interested in. I think the prices are reasonable and the reputation precedes the business but I would like to know what degree of wait time a typical backorder involves.

My wife has been making beaded jewlery for years and finally got around to putting up an Etsy shop. Etsy has a small but viable contingent of shops that accept cryptocurrency payments. There is no built-in functionality but the payment can be arranged once the merchandise is selected. She will be placing more new items there in the coming days and weeks and the foreseeable future as she routinely makes new items while watching TV or whatever. She also takes custom orders and does repairs. http://www.etsy.com/shop/GoddessGemsDesigns |

We would not want newbies to be able to search the forum I guess.
The OP title is fallacious. Login counts as an intensive database query (rightly so). The forum software limits repeat intensive database queries (which include searches) by enforcing a reasonable interval between queries. This results in a better user experience for every single user of the site. Ultimately, this means the enforced interval must expire between logging in and initiating a search (which is only what, 20 seconds?). If that is too big of an issue for you consider quitting the internet. |

Lastly you seem to think that all blocks must need a solution in order for the next valid (solved) block to be found. That isn't true. MOST blocks have no solution eventually miners will (collectively) by random chance find a block which does have a solution.
This clarifies things a great deal for me. I was operating under the assumption that all miners were attempting to solve the same block. |

I think you are mistaken. There is no guarantee that a any solution will work for any given block. While the pool of possible answers is finite, it is so large that it can essentially be considered infinite for the purposes of considering an increase in statistical probability. If we consider the pool of potential hashes to be "finite" then we also have to consider that a resulting hash is not removed from the pool, since that same hash could be calculated again with a different set of data.
The next hash you calculate after incrementing the nonce is no more or less likely to result in a solution than then previous or the next hash.
I'm trying hard to follow you here. Your first statement insinuates that it is possible to build a block that has no solution whatsoever which I think is patently false. In the next statement you conflate a finite pool in which there is a correct answer with being so large as to be infinitely sized. If that is the case then it would possible and even likely that any given block could result in an infinite amount of time being required to solve it. Strangely enough, the network tends to solve blocks at roughly 10 minutes each with no happenstances where the network stalls out because it is going to take infinite years to solve this one. I will concede the point that hash collisions can be found in a sufficiently sized pool. |

A vision flashed before me:
You walk into a dingy bathroom and notice a crude hole cut into the wall at about waist height. Scrawled just above this hole in barely legible print are the words, "For a good time point your miner to 1FWzsfKbQijhL7R7AZhg1oumsfTTBD7iVS"

There is no "making progress" towards a solution. Every attempt has as good of a chance of being the right solution as every other attempt. Think of it like rolling dice. If 2 people each roll a die until one of them rolls a 1, are all the previous rolls "wasted"? Has anyone's chances of rolling a 1 gotten better (or worse) just because a 1 has (or hasn't) been rolled yet?
I don't entirely agree with this. In the dice analogy it would be more accurate to say that once a "1" is rolled the person who rolled the "1" will no longer roll another "1" because "1" has been proven to not be the solution to the problem at hand. That is, he would reduce the number of faces on the dice before rolling again. I agree that each attempt has equal chance of being the right solution in that the chance of rolling a "1" was just as good as rolling a "6" and that on the successive roll the chance of rolling a "5" will be just as good as rolling a "6" but chance of rolling another "1" has now been made zero and the available pool of possible answers has been reduced. Since the pool of possible answers is finite and thus every attempt proven incorrect will not be reattemtped the next attempt does run a statistically higher chance of being the correct answer than the previous attempt. |

No, I would be more interested in a nuclear powered aircraft carrier or destroyer. I mean, we are talking "the money" here. I also want the full crew to man it including gun turrets and at a minimum a personal helicopter to ferry me from my well-armed ocean faring vehicle onto exotic beaches with exotic women. Should I somehow run into this amount of money I will make a personal invitation to my 10 closest friends to abandon their current lives and to embark upon the journey of sailing the oceans and exploring exotic women the world over with me.
