I believe that cgminer requires specialized usb drivers or libraries for low level/direct access. There's a package called "Zadig" that often provides such.

Do you see the Erupter in your device manager?

What are the specs of your machine? Are you using the CPU, videocard or specialized device?

With Guiminer, you must perhaps increase the "intensity" parameter. Or check out the bitminter software and pool.

Please provide a long, uncut video of consistent gains, where you are gambling

Nowhere he is offering to store/backup your wallets. He is providing cloud storage/backup like Dropbox and similar services to store pictures, videos, archives and whatever sort of personal crap.

I'm really tempted! I have a few doubts though:

1) What payment methods do you accept?
2) Can I resell my contract? Saying that cex.io is more expensive isn't the full story. cex is both rented mining and trading. I can sell my Gh/s when I feel I may incur in further losses or if I need quick cash. I can even use it primarly as a trading platform if I'm so inclined
3) What does "lifetime" really means? What happens if the particular device where my contract is running, malfunctions?

Are these devices overclockable?

There is someone very reputable in this forum that may be able to help you technically, and to whom you can trust. I believe that is DannyHamilton ...

lol, are you guys trying to set the terms on 0% interest loans ?

There's also an extensive (biased I admit) site comparing java and python that I didn't manage to find at the moment. Some other comparisons can be found, I'm sure.

 they gave you the wrong language to learn. I insist, do not let that hold you back.  

Don't let your bad experience with java, set you back. Java is garbage. Python otoh is fantastic for learning

Luis, are you from Portugal? You can order BTC at https://btc.pt and pay with Multibanco

As I said elsewhere, people need to start involving the police/law on these matters

The fact of the matter is that police and law needs to involved on these matters. I agree with the OP, an exchange holding funds this way is theft.

Next time he will not even bother to ask for a loan in the first place.

This is garbage. A coin has either exploit resistant proof-of-work or it doesn't. "u be banned" is not only "social related" but also exploitable on the side of the pool, devs, etc... It is not the miners that have to prove themselves to a "central autority" to compensate for laziness and incompetence. The burden is on 100% YOUR side, don't try to push it elsewhere. Make it algorithmic-strong from the beginning or the coin is dead.

Yes, I see your point and agree with your stance on the 10%.

Indeed. Don't take the website for more than it is

Also someone said Chinese buy more than the U.S. ... Well I guess it depends on what time it is.

Look megacoin dude, and I know this is a big tangent to your posts ... The fact of the matter is that exist 400 billion $US available to renew fucking nuclear weapons and afaik never were a few million to compensate folders or BOINC participants worldwide to help find cure for cancer (provoked by the atmospheric detonation of the weapons a few decades ago, and lots of other garbage). I'm surprised that so many paid for power, burned hardware, had hassle for the altruistic or very far-sighted self-interest of folding.

Now, none of this weakens most of your points. What I have to say is that if exploits are found or discontent arises, the coin will be dead, and the devs lost their time, money, effort and cash cow. Who wants to mine, will mine other coin; who wants to fold, will do so directly. So, the burden is already on the curecoin devs to prove themselves.
