so you're holding onto your hashpower forever?  why not just play the buy/sell game for gains?

If I only got a bitcent every time this stupid annoying (no research on my part) question is asked here...

I have a plan/pipe dream...to offer this as a gifting service.  I generate a random wallet qr code which is on a keychain.  Comes loaded with .05 btc.  Could wear it with their keys and NOW they can accept bitcoin easily.   Give them the private key stored on a laminated card.  ON the back of the laminated card, have generic directions that say to import your coins into a new wallet to be able to spend them that right now as it stands this wallet only acts as deposit only and requires a different wallet app to "import" the savings key in so that the funds can be spent.

If I make these for sale on honeybadgerofmoney.com do you guys think that they could sell?  I was thinking about selling them for .06 BTC but pre-loaded with .05 BTC.  I'll make an [ann] thread when this idea is in motion.  I was thinking of a generic circular keychain that I would print the address and store inside of.  (page would be printed on both sides so that one side shows the bitcoin logo the other side would show the Public QR address)  The private key card would have the public address and private key in case the keychain itself is destroyed or stolen.

dam dammit i just updated my client yeterday   

welll thanx for being an active dev

black arrow stays self moderated...I'm seeing a pattern here.

lmao....frankenmint says "womp womp!"  Someone forgot to do their due diligence homework 

I find that this is just like the internet in the 1990s...you just need a few major first party businesses to get interested and integrated and it could eventually be a domino effect.  Your friends are really short sighted...shouldve told them that starting in 2010 with a plain pc and building your way up would've made enough coin for you to retire....3 years time....

I bumped my to .97  I did actually experience issues the first time ever today...dropping hashrate...interface would freeze up when trying to connect to it....I tried everything I could...what seemed to fix it was when i disconnected my asic board from the controller board (everything off!)  then connected it to another port.  I dont know if my port is shot, I don't really care though my shit is working and I don't want to fidangle it until difficulty is at 10 billion or higher.  It was clear skys before and now it seems to be hashing really strong at 148 but it was at 135-145 before all that happened today. 

.024 btc per day?  that means you need hashpower that exceeds this correct?  If my back of the napkin calculations are right that is roughly 15 GH a day isn't it just to break even?  Now throw in that extra 30-50 percent increase every 10 days and you're basically playing the inflation game it seems like.   

I'm weary of something utilizing an aggregator because its pulling data based off of small blip or activity in buy or sell orders....convince me otherwise and maybe I'll check it out

I have a raspberry pi and a thermal printer and a desire to figure out how to make a version of this!  I saw something called Numbwallet or something that used a few lines of python...couldn't a paper wallet be created with the press of a button?

I swear as soon as I linked my signature I saw a flood of others doing it too.  I learned to stop chiming up my referral real quick.  So we've come to a thread of bickerings here eh?  Not one person wiling to share their lucky flukes?

  oh well im missing the boat!  I wasnt on the buying end for a while now I am!

lol same here.  trigger finger getting itchy to pull onto ppc on a solorun for a few weeks.

how has that been working for you?  I was thinking about solo mining ppc with my block erupters setup

little people and the huge egos they seem to have.  Stop being ignorant about it...its possible....hell its totally possible with QE going on to where the 100 dollar bill is worth 10 dollars in the next decade due to ridiculous inflation.

My client was stuck at block 31999.  I downloaded the lastest client which was a different version and that fixed it.  Moved to cryptsy now.

 laser beam? you mean line of sight.....yea right thats totally economical to limit internet to a 20 minute window each day.
back to reality - don't you think btc will be antiquated?  I don't see humans populating mars at all...or by the time they do, bitcoin will be obsolete completely.  Just cause its a thought doesn't mean it makes any sort of good sense. Mars makes sense like living on the moon does....it doesn't.

Didn't seem to resolve it for me..however I didn't have the joulecoin.conf file before.  I figured it was only needed if I were trying to solo mine using the wallet as the host to point my miners towards.  (miners are running in a diff location altogether)  Wasn't sure if it was catching up or not so i decided toscrap the blockchan and redownload it.  I'll followup with you guys here to let you know if I could get it to resolve.

keep in mind...everyone in here has a common interest to deter you away from mining.  You are literally taking away from the pie by entering into the bitcoin game.  This is the way it works with all hardware and cryptocurrency mining.  As far as time to get it up and running, these guys are right.  Its an upfront investment of maybe 5 hours tops if you are using an asic (a little longer if you were stupid and went the gpu route (gpu requires you to test settings and find an ideal middleground setting that won't crash the pc) not stupid totally if you decided to mine alt-coins, but absolutely dumb if you thought you would buy gpus to mine for btc)

I think we've all found out the hard way here, that by attacking the same pie....no matter how much money you throw onto an asic - you're likely to lose btc if you plan to only mine btc with it.  I spent an hour getting my knc miner configured and only because I did a lot of checking here and there I could have just simply entered in my pool credentials (join a pool like btcguild or eligus)  and it began hashing away.  Make sure you have a wallet on your phone or on a secure pc and point your account on the pool to the wallet. 

If you used something outdated like bitcoinx.com/profit, then stop, goto a place like mining.thegenesisblock.com and see where you stand for at least the next 90 days.  ignore anything beyond that as there is no way to have the system double upon double upon double every month like their calculator is expecting.
