A very useful link, thank you  |

Maybe if a site accepted credit cards instead of paypal.
Most credit cards allow the owner to initiate a charge-back for up to 60 days after the purchase. The bank doesn't ask any questions if the owner simply says it was illegitimate - it's up to the merchant to prove the transaction was a legitimate purchase, which in many cases is almost impossible. I once lost $10000 worth of artwork due to this policy even though I had a swiped card and signed slip. It took me a private detective to prove the delivery address was that of a relative to the card holder, and even then, I had to institute a civil procedure to get the art back. Once all that was done, I laid a criminal charge which was never taken further by the bank or the police. Now imagine dealing with "digital" goods and in which you don't have the advantages of a "swiped" transaction. I place my little example here to illustrate how difficult it is going to be to create a "fool-proof" method of taking payment, especially with cards and mobile transactions (since mobile companies place the same burdens of proof on the merchant). I fear only mass transactions with transaction fees can buffer the effect of a planned 10% charge-back. A free or low fee service simply will not show the profits to buffer it's clientèle against fraud and thus, ultimately, find it impossible to survive.. |

You can send me a portfolio of your work, if you wish. I often need to use freelancers.

Why would you run bitcoin through Tor? What is the security advantage?
I wouldn't say running bitcoin through tor would be a security advantage, rather more of an anonymity advantage in that it would be almost impossible to link a transaction to your ip. |

Ooh, I see.. I didn't notice there were images attached. In that case you can ignore the line added at end of my post (appears in quoted message after). Also, I converted to links.
 I was wondering how much 29 seconds were worth. Thanks for doing the links they are awesome. |

Thanks for your screens Willsway, but I placed a bit smaller screenshots on the front page, more similar to the old ones.
Hehe, it's all good. Trying to help is as much fun as actually managing to help  . Long live Bitcoin. |

... I am impeded by my own laziness.
LoL, well no currency system is going to solve that particular problem . I found finding something to be passionate about solves this particular problem - good thing you found the Bitcoin movement then . I've only been involved with bitcoins for little over a week now, so I haven't had much time to implement any earnings instruments yet. I have access to many products, so one of the first projects will be creating an online retail store to accept payments in bitcoin only. I have some financial games in mind where trades would happen in bitcoin - the primary idea here is not to "earn" bitcoins, but rather to encourage some movement of bitcoins. The following idea is a hobby of mine and does not really relate to the crux of this thread: I am currently putting together a solar powered machine to generate bitcoins - the idea is to process "green" bitcoins, making it the cleanest money in history Anyone know of some decent deep cycle batteries - it's all I'm missing. |

An excellent guide. Thank you so much for your efforts - it will certainly help me |

I currently have a Core2Duo which is outperforming a i7 and several Quad Core machines even though they all get an equal opportunity to generate uninterrupted. I don't think we should underestimate the "Luck" factor. |

To remove all doubt, I went over to my brother's house to use his older Windoze machine; which isn't all that hard considering that he lives over my garage. I started the client on his computer (which uses my broadband) that I know does not have *any* security programs at all, and running over a broadband connection that does not have any blockages at all (because it's mine). The client started up fine, and within a minute was reporting 60+ connections. I'm thinking, "I'm good now", but an hour later it still had not incremented the block count even one from the blockchain that I downloaded at the same time as 0.3.10. I think is was 67,300; but it never moved. I tried to turn on and off generation, which I didn't expect to work and it didn't.
Any ideas?
I don't mean to state the obvious, but your post does not mention shutting down Bitcoin and starting it up again. When I upgraded to the new version several of my machines also stalled on the block count and restarting Bitcoin solved the problem. I think the same problem was mentioned in an earlier post and restarting also solved the problem on that occasion. Just something to try. |
