LOL I disconnected miner at 99.97% because I had to (powerful thunderstorm). Don't tell me that all work done before that is worthless [0.000000000] because [insert excuse a/b/c/d....]. It looks like returning to Slush pool was a mistake. End of story.

Lol........Slush is like that Ex you always end up with. All hot and heavy one day, then bam.....that time of the month, now EVERYTHING is your fault. So glad I missed that 14hr tantrum. Grin

My address is 18j7VDYhePaYCqUmSo8JgjpybpsgvJwfdb - feel free to go through my Bitmit or Coingig stores if you'd like escrow.

I can easily send it via DHL with tracking, it will take 1 or 2 working days to Zimbabwe. Courier service will cost $23 bringing the total to 0.31BTC.

Just sent 0.31btc to that address. Send me the DHL tracking via PM when available.

It was at the top of the WIKI page. There's like ten others.
What's your BTC address. I will also require tracking. Send via DHL, FedEx or the equivalent. Add shipping cost to my final invoice.
.............if only I could somehow record the receivers expression........*Dhl guy shows up and hand over package. "Huh?!, Wtf is this! Where's the private key!?"  Grin

Bitcoin Examiner has been gathering rumors around the web and was informed by an anonymous source about this highly secretive meeting, which is set to occur this Monday or Tuesday (August 5 or 6).

I stopped reading at that point. What's next, Paypal will adapt BTC, oh wait....... Roll Eyes

I just did a search and it seem Kenyans are at the forefront. I'll buy one but haven't decided where to send it.
I'm thinking Great Zimbabwe University or such.
How will you package and send it?

Unfortunately, in order for ANY of this to work I have to first believe.

I was speaking in the first person. Subjective only to me.
This thread is about Handmade African Bitcoin Keychains.

Unfortunately, in order for ANY of this to work I have to first believe. In any case, I'm gonna browse around Africa and see who's ready for financial revolution.

Ah, yea. You can just feel the Batch3 energy Grin
Remember, tilt back and forth to check for any loose objects.
Oh, and it's heavy.

Do they come with magical powers? Not the placebo kind.
1034  Other / Meta / Re: How to unsubscribe from some topics? on: August 03, 2013, 10:48:17 AM
1. Go to https://bitcointalk.org/watchlist_posts.php and click "Do it".
2. Make sure that replied-to threads are automatically added to watchlist (I think this is the default but doesn't hurt to check).
3. Unwatch all unwanted threads.
4. Forget that "Updated Topics" ever existed. Use the watchlist.


So the only solution is "Forget that "Updated Topics" ever existed. Use the watchlist." 
Why not have the entire "Updated Topics" as an option removed already.
I even went as far as to ignore the OP, yet there it is in my "Updated Topics", grayed out as if that's enough.

Very possibly a list for the NSA.

Oh, I'm not worried about NSA, they already own everything and care not about my measly live savings. I'm worried about half-baked Skids and the countless SQL injections.

No, you guys are approaching it wrong. It's following Facebook's aesthetics.

Look at Coinbase, now look at Facebook...

Naw, not even close. Coinbase, by comparison makes Facebook look good.

That freaking Coinbase blue is an assault on the human eye, crappy fonts.

Don't know who these guys are but they want your full info else no more Ripples. Subscribing to mail-list with endless disposable emails to get Ripples was annoying enough, now they've gone too far.

This only serves to encourage and perpetuate identity theft.

"Unfortunately the information you submitted did not match records in the
national databases that we use for identity verification. In order to perform
verification please email to us scans of a government issued photo id, a void
check to your US bank account and a proof of residence (telephone or utility
bill with your name and the current address printed on it)."

OFFICIAL UPDATE

It is not as simple as it might seem. The problem comes from peering and poor bandwidth/internet connectivity in China and software optimizations used to deal with the situation. Companies like Amazon(.cn) also suffer from these problems in China. It isn't necessarily a problem caused by the Great Firewall itself.

You're either TPE or not. Simple.

This is like staring at a lava-lamp..........stoned. My question is, why should I or anyone cares?
Am I missing something important here?

The idea behind firstbits is that it allows you to identify an address without having to use a really long impossible to remember bitcoin address.

Assuming the following:
  • My bitcoin address is 1Danny49wgfnwlkhiw4sf9wfp9wfeasps9fgu
  • A transaction has been received and stored in the blockchain to this address
  • No earlier transaction has ever been received to any address that starts with the characters "1Danny"

Then I can tell people that they can send bitcoins to my firstbits address "1Danny".

It's easy to remember and convenient for brand recognition (imagine McDonald's receiving bitcoin payments and advertising their bitcoin firstbits address as "1McD").

So, someone has gone and generated LOTS of addresses that use common words in the beginning of the address.  This means that they are sitting on these addresses and nobody else can use those words as a firstbits address, since the person sitting on them is the first person in the blockchain using an address that starts with that sequence.

Now the person doing this might believe that they can re-sell control of these addresses to people who desire them, but anyone with any knowledge about bitcoin at all will realize that the addresses are not secure since the seller would know the private key and could steal any bitcoins received there.


Got it.
I wasn't aware we have the firstbits concept, very neat and sweet.

There's even a WIKI....https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Firstbits

Uh.
So.......If said party is trust-worthy enough, they can actually license the use of such firstbits and insured against miss-use via contract.

Other than that, the blockchain bloat will need a solution. SatoshiDice is like a constant reminder of a need for balance.
