Officer,a bad man called pirate from the internet stole my bitcoins
[Police Guy]
OK, so this bad pirate man hacked into your computer and stole something?
[BitLame]
No, I gave him the bitcoins 100% voluntarily.
[Police Guy]
Um, why would you give your magic internet money to someone who you've never met named pirate?
[BitLame]
Because of greed. He was offering impossible profits. I can't resist free lunches and deals too good to be true.
[Police Guy]
Son, you need to stop wasting police time before I show you what pepper spray tastes like. We have real issues about real people to deal with.

I'll take them both at BTC10 for each set.

If you think it is a ponzi/some other risky venture, why are you screaming/whining now that you may have lost? If it is true that it is a ponzi then you are only stealing others' money by withdrawing anyways
Sorry....Who's screaming/whining Ponzi ?
Let's hope alot of people re-invest so that I can get paid.
Ouch! That's going to leave a mark. Good catch. LOL. THE DUDE WAITED ALMOST 13% (3/24) OF THE MAX BEFORE THROWING A CONNIPTION FIT!!! THAT'S TOTALLY REASONABLE!!!11!
NOTHING SAYS "I AM NOT PANICKING" BETTER THAN RANTING IN UNDERLINED BOLD ALLCAPS, RIGHT?!?!?!?!?!?!/  |

Should we bid % of spot silver or number of BTC?

Better get a new account and start posting in the noob ghetto.  Is that how you got those last 169+ posts ? Bit late[Asshat member]  Date Registered: July 18, 2011 iCEBREAKER [Full Member]  Date Registered: June 02, 2011 Sorry I have a life, and can't waste as much time on here as you spent stalking the people on your little sig. Please note however, that I joined 1.5 months earlier than you. So respect your elders, young asshat.  If you shape up and start making progress on learning about the concept of delayed gratification, maybe I'll tell you a story about the good old days. The good old days being, of course, the golden age when you were not yet a member spreading FUD via redundant, panicky vanity threads. |

I NEVER meant for this to happen. This end result was NOT my goal.
This is NOT my fault. I only wanted 114 BTC out of over 2000 available. I NEVER PANICKED.
Do you understand anything about investing? Has it never occurred to you that money 'tied up' in investments is not perfectly liquid, and that fact is part of why you get paid for the use of your cash? Throwing a public tantrum because you were not instantly gratified is ridiculous. And thus, you are being ridiculed. You aren't the leader of Team Ponzi, but amplifying their FUD makes you a fellow traveler. After a tiny 3 hour delay, you made yet another Pirate FUD thread about how awful it was that your ass wasn't being kissed fast enough. OK fine, you didn't panic. Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt was is full effect however. Congratulations, you will be forever known to have a reputation = asshat in this community. Better get a new account and start posting in the noob ghetto. |

AGAIN...FOR THOSE WHO NEED IT SPELLED OUT.
IT WAS NEVER ABOUT THE DELAY. ONLY THE LACK OF COMMUNICATION DURING SAID DELAY.

Anyone here have any idea as to what Gavin was alluding to? The Bitcoin Project will be making a major announcement in September that should contribute some stability, he said. Still, he predicted things will continue to be exciting in the world of Bitcoin with "continued controversy and chaos." http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/15/3243200/bitcoin-ponzi-schemes-savings-and-trustSecond to last paragraph. Multisig? Ecuador is changing its name to Wikitopia, appointing Julian Assange benevolent dictator for life and making Bitcoin ("Bitpeso") the official currency. All foreign debt will be repaid in LitePeso... *looks forward to more exciting controversy and chaos* |

Bump because we need to tilt more undecided, dithering VC's to our side of the Bitcon fence.

I'm still trying to figure out exactly why some miners are freaking out and others are not. It almost seems like they're keeping the old DNS entries (that go directly to a backend) and adding the round robin on top of it, so some shares go back to old IPs that they shouldn't.
I for one would like to be the first to blame the Windoze IP stack. Maybe cgminer could add a server validation thingy that activates after a reject threshold is reached, but this is so rare it's probably not worth it. The crazyiness is cycling through now. Only a couple of miners still derping half rejects. |

Anyone else getting ~50% "Other" non-accepted share on mine3?  Edit: Mine2 is working just fine BTW. I had a warning up for a few hours, guess I should put it back up. It looks like some miners threw a fit with the DNS change. mine2 and mine3 point to the exact same servers right now. A simple restart seemed to fix all issues for the miners that were affected. EDIT: One thing to note is that the new servers have one quirk that shouldn't affect an average user. The new servers direct you to a backend based on your source IP. This means if your IP changes a lot (TOR?), these new servers can cause havoc to your reject rates. "Other" means the share received by the server did not come from that server. If you are in a situation where your outgoing IP changes at random (not dynamic IP, more like a network where your outbound IP can bounce between 2 or more connections on any given packet), please send me a PM and I'll work on setting you up with a special connection. Sorry I should have tried the obvious solution before panicking/complaining.  I saw the notice about the new load balancing proxy layer but it looked more FYI than cautionary. Of course I'd find a way to screw up something that should be transparent. It's just strange that some miners are affected and some aren't. I'm not using TOR or anything. |

Wow this is a nice positive thread, and for a good idea.
The fun flavor themes I would like to purchase are
-Smoky Saltoshi (plain with smoked sea salt)
-CryptoCurry (Rajah, Sun, or Penzeys brand if you don't make your own)
-VGA Vindaloo (ask your local IndoPak store)
-FPGA FGBP (Cambodian pepper corn sourced from Bitmit)
-CyberChili Cook Off (Gebhardt or Penzeys, plus epazote)
-Megahash Mole (cocoa powder, ground pepita, cumin, etc)
-Gigahash Gumbo (gumbo file, onion, green pepper, celery, garlic, bay leaf, cayenne, parsley)
-Jalapeno Overclock (habanero, guajillo, jalapeno, naga ghost, arbol, etc)
-PPS Pizza (tomato, basil, oregano, garlic)
-Javascript Jerk (Scotch bonnet, cloves, cinnamon, scallions, nutmeg, thyme, garlic, and salt)

On US2 and since about 1AM EST relatively 0% rejects. That has been the longest span without a spike in reject rate.
Well lucky you, I'm still getting high rejects. edit:   Oh that's nasty. But thanks for sharing, glad to see I'm not the only one with the problem. Do you think the problem is (lack of) hardware? If it is, shall we pony up to get PX on a really badass server? I recall coinsauce having high rejects on EC2 as well. |

Very good idea for a unique PPS pool/monetized distributed computation hybrid. As regular reader of gpgpu.org, I've been waiting for something like to come along. Can't bother doing it myself, so cheers to the LazyNet. Bitcoin establishing a price floor for the market is an incredible catalyst for suchlike. You're going to need lots of $$$ to be competitive in this space, doing Big Science and whatnot. Are you talking to VCs yet? I suggest starting by supporting a couple of well chosen proprietary products, such as Schrödinger Suite 2012. http://www.schrodinger.com/news/63Run it cheaper than EC2 and profit! There's also plenty of open source platforms to host, like GROMACS and BLAST. CloudBroker was moving towards creating an open market for this stuff, but seems to be down ATM. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:XLHUSI0BwDUJ:www.cloudbroker.com/&hl=en&prmd=imvns&strip=1Be careful. I've seen many companies enter, fail, and leave this space. But since Bitcoin, conditions seem ripe for revolution... Thanks for the support. Great leads too. I'm passing your post along to Biz Dev. If you (or anyone else) has suggestions of companies that you think we should contact, we'd love to hear your input. I've been monitoring the emerging nexus of distributed computing and online markets since before buzzwords like crowdsourcing and cloud computing existed. 10 years ago, I made my first bit of internet money by running Porivo Peer for a few days. Sure, it only earned a nickle ($.05USD) but it was proof of concept. So I could go on about this kind of stuff for days. Send a PM if you want a consultant with tons of ideas and a deep background in this space. Plus I know some very key people. We could be the world's first trillionaires by playing our cards right... |

In our HPC sales process, we are often finding that the first question we are asked is, "How big is your cluster?". We want our pool to grow fast so we can get the most lucrative compute jobs online as soon as possible. Because HPC pricing is time sensitive, 100 miners mining for an hour is worth more than 1 miner mining for 100 hours.
OK I see how having a big cluster is good for marketing. But the weird terms of use severely limit your potential pool size. You aren't going to find a more advanced user base of early adapters than here on BTCTalk. So what does is mean when when the whole "future earnings insurance" idea goes over like a lead balloon, confusing some very smart people and even generating accusations of OMGPonziScam? It means keep it simple sweetheart. If you want to get everyone to consider using your pool, you must offer a more competitive rate for the same quality of service as OzCoin, DeepBit, or BTCGuild.Look at how well CoinSauce did by initially offering 100% PPS. All you need to do is beat the market rate of 95% and viola, instant user base of up to 200Petaflops!Don't try to make your users share the burden of future risk, it's now obvious that they are not interested. Bitcoins talk, BS vaporware walks. /tough love Focus on your core competency of linking *coin miners' supply of processing power to the HPC market's demand. The drama and risks of running a pool dilute and threaten the CoinLab brand. Have you thought about partnering with existing pools instead of running your own? The tax implications alone are sufficient reason to deal with a small number of pool operators instead of a large number of pool users. |

OMG FOUR pci power connects? I love it! This will be the most epicest video card since the Voodoo5 6000.  Maybe ATi should include an external power supply too? |

Hi Marty! I tried out us3 last night. Results were not good.  >10% rejects on my 666MH 7970. Changing threads from two to one and lowering difficulty helped, but killed my utility.  If we're still using Amazon, I suggest getting a dedicated box at Serverpoint. Pentium E6300 2.8Ghz 3TBs 2GBs 500GBs $49.99/mo. I'll cover half of the cost, because it's worth it to me economically and psychologically (endless tinkering with cgminer.conf is driving me crazy).  |

The reason is that due to Dwolla having a tendency to lock funds at will
This is not what has been happening and is not what happened here. Can you name one instance where Dwolla has locked funds? [* If you are thinking of the "30-day probation" restriction as being a case of "locked funds", that's incorrect, and see below for that.] Yes. Locked would be a rather light term for what they did to Tradehill. The danger (as percieved by MTGOX) is that Dwolla will do some kind of freezing/locking/taking of funds that mtgox holds on the Dwolla side. As far as we know Dwolla never returned said funds to Tradehill. http://betabeat.com/2012/03/dwolla-was-just-sued-by-bitcoiners-for-2-m/That's a great article. First comment nails it: Jim • 5 months ago Let's review the facts. For me, this is one of the the smoking guns: Using wayback machine no wording of "chargeback": http://web.archive.org/web/20100730001213/http://www.dwolla.org/help/terms-of-use/After the TH fiasco they added chargeback wording: https://www.dwolla.com/tos (Current tos) And Ben Milne's lies: "Most all merchants are well aware of the problem, which is why we’ve always had something in our terms of service about chargebacks since Day One. " - Ben Milne Note Ben's uppercase use of "Day One". Ben is a liar. As a midwesterner, I am ashamed Ben is from Iowa. Ben Milne of Dwolla is jealous, and mad that Bitcoin made his cheap Paypal clone obsolete. If he died in a fire, it wouldn't bother me at all. One less bankster monopolist douchebag selling outdated buggy whips. And if that wasn't bad enough, he's a hipster (pic at link)! |
