21  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / UK Bitcoiners - Let's get Just-eat to accept Bitcoin on: November 28, 2013, 10:14:56 AM
I sent them an email suggesting that they add the payment option, here was the response:

Quote
Thank you for emailing info@just-eat.co.uk

Thank you for your suggestion. We are not currently considering using this option of the payment, unless we find that there is enough demand for it.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Kind Regards

Jade

So, they need more demand before they will add the option to pay in Bitcoin? Let's all email them then!

24  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / The return of Satoshi on: November 04, 2013, 05:00:16 PM
Thought this could make for some interesting discussion  Smiley

Will there come a day when Satoshi returns?

When will it be?

Where will Bitcoin be by then?

How will it play out?

Looking forward to some creative responses/conspiracy theories/jokes/memes/whatever else you crazy people can come up with.  Wink

25  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Stolen coins on: October 21, 2013, 05:30:41 PM
My friend had a wallet at blockchain.info created back in april - he has just checked the balance, and it's all gone. I've had a look at the transaction - over 500BTC in one go. My guess is that someone got hold of a bunch of identifiers and had a go bruteforcing the passwords. Any weak passwords would have lost coins. Can anyone shed a bit more light on this?

Can someone please explain to me exactly how to increase the size of the keypool in bitcoin-qt? I've tried messing around creating a .conf file but can't get it to work and I've decided it would be a lot quicker to ask somebody who knows how to do it.

Thanks in advance.

30  Bitcoin / Group buys / [Group Buy] [On hold] KnC Miner Jupiter shares: $77 ~4Ghash/s on: June 27, 2013, 05:08:32 PM
Smiley GROUP BUY Smiley


EDIT: Updated prices with a live ticker to keep up with changing prices. Cost per share is 77 USD.

EDIT: I'll be away from July 4th for a few weeks. I should be able to check up on things regularly, but also feel free to message Bitwhizz who I'll be working with on this.

EDIT: On hold - we are looking to restructure our group buy, and won't be taking any payments at the moment


Leviatus crypto-mining group

We have decided to organise a group buy for the KnC miner Jupiter. We are issuing 100 shares at bitcoins each. Price may vary based on exchange rate. 6 shares will be reserved for the organisers. 94 shares at BTC per share will cover all costs including shipping and set-up.

Are we qualified?

Yes, we already have a mining operation which has been running for several months. We are looking to expand into the ASIC game Smiley


Are we trustworthy?

Yes, we can offer photo identification of the team behind the mining operation if needed. I have been an active member on this forum for almost a year. I have been involved in several transactions and currently run a Litecoin mining operation with an associate.


Where will the mining rig be situated?

The KnC mining rig ‘Jupiter’ will be situated in southwest London, UK. The shares issued are only for a holding in the KnC Jupiter, not part of our overall mining group. The Rigs will be covered by insurance.


When will dividends be paid out?

Dividends will be paid out every Two weeks. Each shareholder will be paid a dividend depending on the amount of shares they hold.


Why do you need an investment from the public?

We don’t, we are financially capable of ordering several of these mining rigs with our own capital, however there are risks involved when ordering from KnC miner. We want to share the risks and rewards for those that invest with us.

Any questions, Identity verification or anything else, please let us know and we shall supply it.

Below is a description of our share offering:


Payment Address -


This group buy is intended to give forum members the opportunity to purchase hashing power through the recently launched KnC Miner (https://www.kncminer.com) company located in Stockholm, Sweden. I have structured the purchase so that members can get involved in ASIC mining using the KnC Jupiter device without having to pay the full ~70BTC for their own machine.

Offering:
- 94 shares at each are available. (100 shares in total, including 6 shares owned by the organisers)
- Each share is worth approximately 4Gh/s of hashing power
- Each share entitles the owner to 1/100 of the BTC proceeds from a KNC Miner Jupiter mining 24/7 for a minimum of 30 months*, payment will be made to the address of the shareholders bi-weekly. (*Miner breaking after 12 month warranty, random acts of nature like data center burns down, internet downtime, etc. not covered in 24/7 for 30 months. If mining is no longer profitable before the end of the 30 month period, mining will cease)
- The 6 outstanding shares will be owned by the organisers as payment for maintenance of the miner, peripheral hardware needed UPS, possible router etc.
- After 30 months we will consider decommissioning and possibly selling the miner if it is no longer profitable to run. This can be put to a shareholder vote.
- Organiser shares will cover maintenance, insurance of equipment from theft, and work including initial set up (not electricity).

IN CASE OF NON DELIVERY:
We take no responsibility for the possibility that KnC Miner does not deliver the miner. There is a certain level of risk which is taken on by shareholders, you can never 100% guarantee anything when it comes to pre-orders. By purchasing shares, you agree that you understand the risks involved and agree that the organisers accept no liability in the case of non-delivery. We will, of course, do everything within our power to recover the costs and reimburse our shareholders, less a 1% fee for our time/management.

To purchase shares, send per share to address:


- PM me/and post the transaction ID in this thread. ONLY use sending addresses you fully control. I will use the sending address for BTC payouts for your share ownership and if you request change of payout address I will require that you can sign your share purchase address to make this happen OR I WILL NOT CHANGE THE RECEIVING ADDRESS. This is for your own protection.

If I have forgotten anything or you require more info etc. Please feel free to ask/post in this thread.
Should the Group Buy not sell all 94 available shares within 3 weeks I reserve the right to refund all share holders their purchase price -1% for transaction fees and management of the group buy.


(Thanks to TheSwede75 and SilentSonicBoom for their similar group buy that I used as a template for my group buy)

32  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Lost encryption key on: June 16, 2013, 12:40:58 AM
Looking for some help with this:

I have a friend who has lost the encryption key to his QT wallet (despite my stressing to him the importance of not losing your key  Roll Eyes )

Anyway, he reckons he has a vague idea of what the password should be, and that its 12 characters at most. I'm wondering, what's the feasibility of brute forcing it, with 9 GPUs (7950s) at my disposal?

34  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / A way to spread Bitcoin on: May 27, 2013, 09:18:03 PM
Okay, so this idea has probably been posted before, but I though it would be worth sharing just in case.

I have a few music channels on youtube that I pretty much treat like my favourite radio stations, as they are always updated with music that suits my tastes. I'm sure many of you are the same, and maybe some of you have wanted to show your appreciation to the person who continually updates the channel with great new music. So why not message them and tell them you would like to send a tip in the form of Bitcoin, and suggest they post a Bitcoin address as a convenient way for fans to show their appreciation?

Bitcoin would be a great way to tip artists etc. the same way you might tip a journalist for writing a good article. And it would introduce the concept to a very wide audience. As I said, I'm sure others have thought of this idea but I figured it would be worth posting again anyway.
35  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Only 1 of 3 GPUs Mining on: May 09, 2013, 05:04:14 PM
I've built a rig with 3 7950s, running on ubuntu 12.04 bootable USB. Finally got cgminer working, and running one card at ~650khash/s (LTC)

For some reason ./cgminer -n shows all three cards are detected but when I start up, only one of them will run. Has anyone else had this issue, and how did you resolve it?

Thanks

38  Bitcoin / Mining support / Ubuntu crashing... on: April 24, 2013, 09:02:36 PM
Okay, so basically me and a few friends decided to build a rig and mine some litecoins. None of us had ever built a computer before so its been quite a learning curve, but we've managed to get it up and running. Unfortunately I've run into a problem that I can't figure out, so finally I've given in and decided to ask for help. I wanted to take the opportunity to move over to running linux, seeing as I keep hearing how much better it is once you learn how to use it.

So I'm running ubuntu desktop 12.04 on a bootable usb, but it keeps freezing up on the rig. Thing is, it works fine when I boot on my laptop. I thought it might be the driver for the GPU that needed replacing, but that hasn't seemed to help (although theres a high probability I haven't installed it properly). I don't really want to give up and revert to using windows, so I thought I'd post here and see if anyone has experienced a similar problem or could (hopefully) point out the simple mistake I'm making (if its 'using ubuntu' then fair enough, but I've never used linux before and wanted to make the transition as smooth as possible)

Heres our setup:

CPU: AMD Sempron 145 2.8GHz
Motherboard: ASRock 970 Extreme 3
GPUs: Radeon 7950 x 4
RAM: Komputerbay 4Gb
Power supply: Novatech Powerstation Black edition 1000W < Yeah we'll probably need more than this...

Any help would be much appreciated  Grin

Its hard to get your head round the figures...

What if Bitcoin really is successful to the point that the value of fiat crashes completely? What happens to the debt?

Interesting to think about.
