what do you mean by join a signature program here? Could someone please explain?
You can sell your signature space to people that wants to advertise their sites. Mine is currently sold to RitzGrandCasino.
Here's a list (don't know how updated it is though!): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=333916.0

 Grin LEt me see if I get this right, so you sell your signature space... I understand that... but how is it monitored and how do they calculate how much to pay you?
You post how many post you've made when you sign up. After a month (or at a specified date) either you report how many posts you did during that period, or the person buying the space checks for him/herself. The rate is specified in the thread. Some pay you per post, and some pay a flat rate. There are many options! Smiley

False positives or someone actually embedding these in the blockchain for kicks?


False positive. Many people has reported about "virus in the blockchain" lately. Nothing to be worried about though.
Just curious, does your client still work even though you've deleted parts of the blockchain?

I rarely use IE, but I have IE8 installed and with my SSD, IE8 x64 is fast.

Firefox is slow compared to my palemoon. Palemoon implemented decrease of bootup time along and with adblock plus dev build holy shit, startup times is in Milliseconds,

I had swiron installed, that seemed fast as well same with chrome fast and dragon by comodo is fast.

I think all your slow problems rely in your old or new slow ass HDD's. :p

Get an ssd then talk shit Cheesy
Not necessarily, it depends a lot on the processor, operating system, RAM and stuff. For example, my fathers old (not even good measured with the standards back then) laptop from 2005 earlier ran Windows XP. It would take ~40 minutes to boot up, and then it would need another 10 minutes to start internet explorer. However, since the XP support was dropped last week, I managed to convince him to let me install Lubuntu on his computer. Now it boots up in less than 1 minute, and firefox starts within seconds. So it depends on lots of stuff.

Read/writes is the heart of it all Smiley. Take that laptop, slap an ssd in it with that original OS install it will be much quicker. Proven fact.
Yes, but only to a certain degree. Lots of other factors as well.

Where would you guys recommend to purchase bitcoins... a legit site where the majority of you guys here from the community actually buy it from. I'm from the UK if that makes any difference.
Try https://localbitcoins.com/ Smiley

Thank you guys, that above site actually looks interesting, I see they also offer to purchase in person by cash???
Yes, exactly. You meet up with the seller (usually on a café or something), you hand over the cash, and the seller sends the bitcoin to your wallet. Very easy. The exchange rate is pretty bad though, but if you want to get the bitcoins fast, then this is the way.

Guess I will need to wait until I get all my parts and build my new computer. :/ Unfortunate. Is it worth it to keep syncing the network to my EHD or should I just give up and wait? Could I move the entire client to another drive later on or would there be repercussions?
I don't know what this "EHD" is? But I guess you're referring to your client, right? Well, you don't have to sync with the network right now if you don't want to, but if you don't do it now you'll have to do it some other time. Where you store the client doesn't matter, since the important parts like the blockchain and your wallet is stored in another place. But I can't see any reasons to why you would wanna move the client?
My suggestion to you would to install some lightweight client like MultiBit. Then you wouldn't need to download the blockchain. You can then import your private keys into MultiBit to keep all the money you have in your current wallet.

EHD: External hard drive. Sorry for not defining that. I have multibit, it's what I started off with doing faucets and PTCs. I like it, but I was hoping to try my hand with mining directly, not earning a penny here or there... I have about $1.09 worth in BTC right now, or roughly BTC0.002.

I guess I'll let the syncing continue since I can sync overnight easily and just sync daily or weekly so all I would need to do is download the client onto the new computer when I have everything built and set-up. I have the memory for it lol.
But MultiBit doesn't need syncing in the way you describe it? To me it sounds like you have Bitcoin Core!
And you don't mine directly to multibit either. You mine using a pool, solo mining is just a waste of time.

Use something reliable. I'd recommend Bitstamp myself, however that could take some time with bank transfers and stuff.
The other option would to buy from a seller on localbitcoins as apsvinet proposed, however that is usually much more expensive.
Otherwise I don't know, I'm not really updated on UK based exchanges.
369  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: cex.io or scrypt.cc on: April 16, 2014, 10:14:32 PM
I have a GH/s in cex.io (yes, only one. I got it for free however), and it's a reliable site. Just remember that the price per GH/s could drop very quickly. Now they are selling FHA:s (future hashes april) and FHM:s (future hashes may) however, so you could possibly get some cheap GH/s.

But I guess what you mean with them being bad is that they control much of the combined mining power on the bitcoin network. Recently they were close to 50% which would have been very bad (even though the CEX.io guys seem to be on the good side anyway).

Just realized that there is a button for inserting the bitcoin symbol in the forum text... Wish I would have caught that sooner. :/

I noticed how newbies aren't allowed to do very much, but I have some investigating to do in mining, now. I got my bitcoin-qt synced up to 17 weeks behind after a little under 24 hours, and have about 20k blocks left (approx.) to sync. My machine may very well be good enough to at least mine in a pool. I'm glad I built my own rather than buying one stock back in the day. HA! Who says a woman can't create a good machine?
Yeah, about the mining part; Don't bother trying. At least not bitcoin. Unless you have an ASIC or something you'll just end up damaging your computer.
If your graphics card is good though, you could try your luck with some alt-coin. Remember to keep it cool though, if not it might break faster.

Btw, Newbies are allowed to do very much. Not many signature things though, and you have to wait 360 seconds between your posts.

And also, if you're going to buy. Remember to HODL. No matter what happens, no matter if we're heading for a crash and it might seem as you'll lose money. Do. Not. Sell.
You'll regret it, so just hold, hang on to something, and when you feel the time comes, then you sell. But never sell because of fear, because that's when you lose money and/or miss the big money.

Try near Benham Rise or in Benham Plateau.
Nope, that's a part of the Philippines.
Right in the middle of the pacific

As remote as possible to make sure telecommunication is almost impossible (apart from satellite), make it very difficult to get supplies in, be as unprotected as possible against hurricanes.
Great location  Cheesy
Also we could place massive cables on the sea bed, like it's done across the atlantic. I mean, with this massive budget we're thinking of that would be no problems.
It would not be hard getting supplies there, we'll just build an airport. No problems.
Hurricanes, well, we'd simply have to build hurricane safe buildings on the island. Shouldn't be that much of a problem using modern architecture. Smiley
I was thinking it might be a good place but it wooed be better to start building a 1 km x 1 km platform and then if the need for more land you build 1 more square, until you fulfilled the demand for land. The cheapest way doing it wooed be building a box of cement around it 2 m thick and then add stone on the outside of the cement wall and sand inside, and then place trees whit deep roots. (what I think no ex) In order to finance the project someone shude start up a fond, the thing is we want a land whit no oppression but we still want to get back our investments, whit will be huge, around 100 millions dollars. But I think it won’t be hard to get it back if we can make a safe heaven for tax dealers. They have to pay to stay on the island but it will be cheap compared to the huge amounts of money they have to tax in the own land.

Well my English is bad I aren’t native English speaker   Cool


love the ide ;Grin
I agree that it might be better to build it piece by piece, that would make the funding problem a bit less.

Yet another report showing even casual cannabis use in DEVELOPING minds damages them.  Fully developed minds, like those in people over 25-30, don't seem to be affected.

http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2014/04/16/casual-marijuana-use-may-damage-your-brain/?hpt=hp_bn13
They didn't test the theory on people over 25 in this study, so that's not sure.

Anyway, the article doesn't specify what the actual effect the change have on you as far as I could see?

I already said this but you can change size

Yeah, I know, but the file size is to big. It's 5.8MB, so the image proxy doesn't allow it.
