Just wondering how much people are willing to pay for this. it's new in box.

there's a user, named bitcoincrazyminer posting phishing links on the forums. here's one of his posts:

somebody here should be able to help you

http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=3889.2120

looks normal right? the link actually goes to: http://bitcoinindexphptopic1083.t35.com/login.htm

There's probably more people like him. be careful when clicking links.

edit:
the user has since been banned, and all his post has been deleted. The site has also been taken down. But remember, be cautious.

Whenever i try to sell/buy at mtgox, it always gives me "Your entire order can't be filled at that price. What remains is stored in your open orders.". even if i set the price way below (for selling), or way above (for buying), it still doesn't get processed. The order doesn't even show up on the "Your Open Orders" table, even if i refresh the page.

I currently have a OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W power supply.

Based on one review (http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/article/2008/11/12/ocz_700w_modxstream_pro_power_supply), it seems that the PSU isn't the best. So here's the question: will this PSU power the following computer?

AMD phenom x4 910 @ 2.6 GHZ
2 Sapphire 5850 xtreme (currently have 1, but would like to add one more)
2 2Gb RAM
2 hard drives

The calculator here says it will use less than 500 W, but I'm skeptical about the accuracy of the calculator, and the quality of my power supply.

tons of people with 1 posts asking to buy mtgox USD.

This program would start miner(s), query pools to see their progress. Once they reach around 40% (optimal time to get off), the miner will be killed, and another miner will be started (pointed to another server).

Has anyone done any tests to prove that pool hopping actually works? i know there's a paper published a while ago with mathematical proof that it works, but is there any tests confirming this?

How do pci-e extenders, seen in this topic: https://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=6128.0 work? Can someone post a picture of a mining rig that uses those extenders? I'm having a hard time picturing how they could be useful, because the card will be more or less dangling from the cable.

It's the best card in terms of MH/$, but it seems to be super rare. any idea why? I can't imagine all of them being bought by miners.

in the past 2 weeks, slush's pool has decreased dramatically, while deepbit is having a surge of users. any idea what's causing this?

I'm selling an TorrentLeech account, for 5 BTC. You're free offer lower, but keep in mind that it's a fairly high-level tracker.

One of the problems with joining a pool is trusting the operator, so he/she doesn't "skim" your hard earned coins. Bitcoinpool tries to solve this problem by making statistics of every user public. While that's better than other pools, it's not enough. The operator can still make fake users, and inflate their share count.

A solution to this problem would be to publicly show EVERY share that is submitted by a user, and its corresponding getwork. This way, if someone wants to inflate his/her share count, they will actually need to do work.

Comments? Problems with this proposal? Hopefully, we can get all the major pool owners to implement in this, unless there are any problems.

just noticed this. yay for karma system!

Current price is:
<250 namecoins: 0.010... BTC per Namecoin, or 100 Namecoins for 1 btc.
250+ namecoins: 0.008 BTC per Namecoin, or 125 Namecoins for 1 btc.
(prices increased  05/31/2011 due to higher difficulty)

what's namecoin?

Namecoin is a naming system based on bitcoin with a few modifications.  It is inspired by the bitdns discussion and recent failures of the DNS.

The quick facts:

* This is a new blockchain, separate from the main Bitcoin chain
* Name/value pairs are stored in the blockchain attached to coins
* Names are acquired through new transaction types - new, first-update and update
* Names expire after 12000 blocks unless renewed with an update
* No two unexpired names can be identical
* Block validation is extended to reject transactions that do not follow the above rules
* The code is here: https://github.com/vinced/namecoin

Initially, two name spaces are defined - DNS and personal.  The DNS name space is targetted towards a new distributed TLD, possibly .bit.

[there's only one left]

I've sold 6, and there's only one left!

EADM account with Crysis 2, limited edition. There's only one left, the price 1 btc.

i don't understand how a pool combines the effort of multiple computers toward  finding one block. How does each "share" help the server solve a block?

What's the most important factor that determines a card's hashing ability? From what i heard, it's based on the amount of shaders. is that correct? what about core clock?

if i wanted to build a mining rig, would it be better for me to buy a USED GPU? With the rapid devaluation of computer parts, i can potentially get more computing power for my dollar. has anyone considered this? would this work? are there any problems with this?

After someone "mines" a block, any transactions with fees going through the block will earn the block owner some money. But is there a way to trade blocks? for example, i give someone 60 BT, in exchange for a block that he owns. the owner then relinquishes control of that block, and sends it to me, and he pockets 10 BT.

Im wondering if there's any software that allows me to set up a pool server. i've seen this thread: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4224.0 , but im not sure if that method is effective as a real pool (where clients get smaller work sizes).
