This is pointless. If the seller never sends the item then the buyer can't get their money back.

The buyer will lose money, the seller will lose nothing.

That's not entirely true as a person loses trust and gains nothing by not getting the coins. It would be perfect to do on someone you absolutely hate, but other than that, what would be the point? What's your solution? I've used ClearCoin in the past, and I wouldn't do Bitcoin transactions, especially larger ones, without some sort of protection.

With the current model, if I wanted to sell 100 BTC for $100 then I would send the BTC to the escrow service. But if the buyer backs out and chooses not to buy from me then I (the seller) just lost 100 coins, and the buyer didn't lose anything. There is no way to get my money back. This is why I like PayPal, I have no idea why everyone hates it so much. It gives the protection against scammers.

A functional model is where the escrow service takes the money from both parties and releases them simulatenously.

Where party A sends 100 BTC to the escrow and then party B sends $100 to the escrow, at which point the money is released to both parties at once to prevent something like the above.

Rarely do I see the voices of any speculators here.

What price are you buying at? 7/10/2011
What price do you plan to sell?
What do you expect the price to increase to?
In what time frame are you expecting all of this to happen?

Ever since June the price has been going down, down, and down....

Really not sure how all of you think it will be worth $30 or more by the end of the year

Have you by any chance looked at the prices throughout the past year?

Yes, it has been going up.
Until June.
Since then it has just been going down and not stopping.
(or lingering in the same price range)

211  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / New computer, new wallet on: July 08, 2011, 10:03:46 PM
So I got a new computer and I formatted my old drive. Before doing that I sent the remaining BTC to my new wallet. Does that mean my wallet is permanently erased from the Bitcoin network?

I would avoid PayPal because senders can easily reverse transactions:

Just logged in to my account with Yubikey. So I'm assuming my account has been tied to my key. Is two-factor withdrawal authentication automaticay enabled now?

If that number is in C
.......I don't know what to say. Except that your ambient temperature might be just ridiculous

If that number if in F
You need a heatsink remount.

Interesting, I have never seen that before...
Have you taken those temp measurements yet..
218  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: [0.25 BTC bounty] Radeon 6990 2nd gpu overheat on: July 06, 2011, 11:42:34 PM
Don't know how your card looks like, but my guess is that it have reference cooler and that it is blowing hot air from one GPU past other GPU heatsink. Was a minor problem in some HD5970 models.

try to buy card with fan positioned in center between GPU's or but aftermarket heatsink for 6990.

The ultimate solution might be installing water cooling on your video card. Forget about the special thermal compound, in my opinion it's marketing bullshit. Properly installed Arctic Silver 5 or similar high-end compound will be just as good.

All dual GPU cards have a single heatsink with two GPU mounting bases
That heat transfer issue is not what causes one GPU to be hotter than the other. Each GPU is transferring an equal amount of heat to the same heatsink...which would just make the heatsink heat up faster than a single GPU heatsink.

My guess is that the TIM application on the hot GPU is bad and the application on the cooler GPU is fine.

But a spread with any quality aftermarket TIM will improve temps on both GPUs anyways (provided you do it correctly)
219  Economy / Marketplace / Re: TradeHill's security seal was removed? on: July 06, 2011, 11:39:10 PM
I don't trust MtGox/TradeHill/any other site that requires you to "deposit" funds into before making a transaction

Interesting that the seal would just disappear though, I remember seeing it yesterday
