Yes, but even if you have free hardware and free electricity, you are still an idiot for GPU mining Bitcoin.

You can Scrypt mine on middlecoin.com and make a much better return.

Yep definitely a lesson!  

He was at least clever in offering a loan first and then trying to get me to loan him money back.

He just picked the wrong guy, because I am not going to send any large sum to someone I don't know.  A few bucks here and there means nothing to me, though, I'm a gambler lol

Just don't want him going around scamming someone else.   Not sure if you can track any alts that he might have, but I'd imagine he has plenty more and he is not as easy to track as dumbass Joey.

What happened::
marjamrob pulled a fast one in an atypical way - well more clever than most scammers that I have seen on here.  He originally loaned me 0.1btc through the lending forum, I repaid that and then he asked me if I could loan him 0.1btc… I figured why not, I will make the interest that I paid him back.  So that was successful and then he gained my trust.  He asked for a 0.5btc loan but I declined because I didn’t have that much as I was moving my money between a few alt-coins and didn’t want to sell them yet.  So then he came back and asked for 0.1btc again.  After which I never heard from him again.

PM/Chat Logs:
Second loan, done through PMs from me to him – 0.1btc:

Attempted to get a .5btc loan from me after repaying that loan.  This was the set-up.  He built confidence in me through lending me money, and then borrowing from me, and then wanted to set it up for a bigger score.  However, I didn’t really notice it because I didn’t have that much in my wallet at the time so just declined him.  A day later I received another request for a 0.1btc loan:

3rd loan:


Additional Notes:
The loan was supposed to be paid on July 30th.  His last log-in date was July 28th for quite some time.  I sent him a message asking for repayment on the 30th and did not get a response.  Then I sent him a message last night saying that I was going to make a thread about him in Scammer Accusations.  He clearly logged in afterwards from looking at his profile. 

Not really too concerned about the 0.1btc, he fooled me and it’s not really a significant amount of coin to me, so I don’t care.  I just don’t want him to try it again on someone later and I don’t feel like monitoring his profile to see when he is logging in and if he is posting. 

Slap him with the scammer tag, please!

I'm about the same.  I'm almost done trying to tell people that they are stupid for using GPUs on Bitcoin mining. 

Some people just can't read or something.  Anyone in a Bitcoin mining pool with a GPU is ignorant.  It's as simple as that!

hahah yeah, needless to say, no parlays today.

Going to bet on the Tigers, though.  The line isn't great, but Scherzer is a madman this year and he made me pay both times I bet against him

That sounds much better than "I give zero fucks"

Sounds like you give a few fucks, or at least an iota of a single fuck.  If you truely gave no fucks, then you wouldn't have felt the need to say so... FUCK.

Tough guy is tough.

Yeah, I think a lot of these have past due utilities and taxes that the buyers will be eligible for, and the residential to commercial is probably valid concern, too.  Zoning laws are a bitch.

But, for the most part these houses are legitimately for sale.  I have about 40 relatives in the suburbs of Detroit and every one of them has said they wouldn't even drive down the majority of those streets if they could avoid it.  One of them is a former Army MP

I'm still going to look in Warren and Sterling Heights.  I gotta get to a colder climate.  I love Texas, but these Summers make me want to kill people.  I swear the summer I spent in Iraq wasn't as bad as this... too humid here.

The same reason no one will actually follow through on their threats of violence. 

It's only $30...

Haha!  Well my wife knows more about football than some of my friends, but she definitely gets distracted when she sees some Witten booty lol

That looks good!  Feel free to submit more.  There is a week left

Any sketch works.  I love taking sketches and importing them into Photoshop and making designs.... I just can't do the sketching part

What mobo are you using?  Do you just have the one PCI-E slot?

The reason I ask is because I was using a Abit IL9 Pro which has 2 PCI-E slots... well my 5850 would not work in the primary slot.  I had to put it in the secondary slot to get it to work properly.

I'll be sending you .2btc after work today.  I figure I might as well have two chances to win... maybe I'll let my wife make picks on one of them

Thanks!  I'm just upset I didn't bet $2 like I usually do!  lol

Where in Detroit do you live?

I have family in the suburbs and it's not that bad... they just say stay away from downtown.

I think a lot of people don't really understand how LARGE Detroit really is...

That shouldn't cause an issue.... I use 2 6 pin plugs (I assume thats what you meant?) on mine.

What are your command lines like for CGMiner?  Have you successfully run CGMiner before?

If not, it's best to run it very simple with no custom settings, and then after getting it to launch correctly, you can start playing with the fun stuff like intensity, thread concurrency, overclocking, etc.

Card received and works great!  The only problem is the unfortunate location of my PCI-E 1x slot... gotta go get at least one more riser, but am just going to get two more and get better air flow between them!  

Thanks!  Positive feedback left!

Edit:  Nevermind, it wouldn't let me leave feedback

What's sad is that you can point people in that direction and still get a response of "I don't want to mine alt-coins" and every day there is a new thread about how GPU mining is dead.

Oh well, you can lead the horse to the water, but you can't force them to drink.

LOL!

I was thinking the same thing a few nights ago when I was scoping out some of the homes on Google maps.
