Atlantis was Litecoin only last time I heard. Looks like selling my Litecoins was a massive mistake!  Tell me about it. At least there's a chance the ounces of silver I paid thousands of LTC for will regain parity, someday.  Atlantis accepts BTC and LTC. Source: some guy on reddit. Proposal: Split Silkroad by category into several .onion sites. One for stoners, one for ravers, one for tweakers, etc. Give the adversary multiple targets to attack, diffusing their (hopefully limited) resources. |

Hi BTCo2,
I'm mining LTC ATM, but wasn't using any unusual cgminer flags. Just straight stratum and default values for 7970s.

Sadly - this beautiful ring is now hiding somewhere in the sands of a beach on the island of Rarotonga Good thing you didn't inscribe the ring with your private key! *books flight to Avarua* *fires up metal detector* *beep beep dig* |

Max and Stacy are Silver Liberation Army, not gold bugs. Big diff, esp for populists like them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_of_Gold_speechthe reason Max Keiser loves bitcoins silver so much is because he was a early adopter and has thousands of them ounces.
^^^There, all fixed.  |

This isn't a hash function we're talking about here. Folding (at least decent algos) is quite a bit more complicated (even talking about the basic molecular dynamics calcs, much more if you're going to introduce solvation models, etc). Also, folding is very much a floating-point intensive operation, which is really tough to do on ASIC, unlike hash functions. The more fundamental problem is that most folding algos are amenable to parallelization only up to the # of atoms in your system - if your system doesn't have more than 2000 atoms, for instance, then 2000 or 4000 cores doesn't really make a difference.
Folding and other molecular dynamic computations have great potential for replacing SHA/Scrypt in a some kind of CureCoin. They are memory intensive, and not trivially parallelizable. |

Great, im glad other people have been thinking about this too. the bitcoin community should start working with stanford on an open source project to make it all happen.
"Bitcoin miners save the world! All crypto currency prices soar as all venues start accepting these coins in their never ending quest to be the ultimate currency" Let's get real and forget all this altruism and donation BS. If you really want people to use their resources for finding cures, make it profitable. Check out BOINC. It's what SETI@Home evolved into. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Open_Infrastructure_for_Network_Computinghttps://boinc.berkeley.edu/I propose a BOINCoin, redeemable (at market rates) for computer power, to monetize and incentivize an infrastructure for distributed computing. Kind of like what Coinlab wanted to do, but building on successful existing tools instead of re-inventing the wheel, engine, and automatic transmission.  |

Crikey, this is escalating quickly!  |

I want it to be 100% legal cause that is how you get ahead in the bitcoin community and promote bitcoin for good.
I understand. But Bitcoin's legal implications are uncharted territory. You will have to make the precedents, or wait for somebody else to settle the open questions. We want the first legal tests of virtual currency to go our way, which is why I've pointed you in the direction of giant, powerful, well-connected good-old-boy firms instead of Joe Schmoe, Atty. at Law down on Pickle Street (across from the Quick-E Mart). |

We try to purchase absolutely nothing that is marketed specifically toward lawyers, b/c it tends to cost 10x as much as it should, and has 1/10 the featureset of its equivalent product that is aimed at say, engineers. Hey now. Huge Lexis-Nexis fan here. Sure it costs a fortune, but so much information! Do I need a money transmitter license for an Angel fund/forum? I am not selling bitcoins for cash, once I would give a company the bitcoins they could turn it cash, but that would really be against what my type of fund is trying to do. I am trying to keep it in the bitcoin community instead of just moving to the dollar.
Do whatever you want, then pay a lawyer to argue it was perfectly legal if you get in trouble. That's how the fat cats operate. It's easier to seek forgiveness than ask permission. Especially when everything not permitted is forbidden. |

I can't imagine how an auction for 300 of these will work. Sounds like someone needs to create a website to manage the auction. It's already been done. Sell half on BitMit and half on another forum thread. Problem solved! *PMs friedcat my BitMit referral link* |

Hi Rasta!
Where do the 25.2Mh/s and 0.12 BTC numbers come from?
Thanks!

Really don't believe in LTC. I think we shouldn't divide forces. Lets make BTC rule them all.
We're all on Team Crytocoin. Our adversary is Team Fiat. Satoshi is our coach; Bernanke is their's. Bitcoin is our team's star quarterback. Litecoin is the rookie showing potential and ready to get off the bench. /doesn't often use sports metaphors |

If they are paying just the right amount, it makes no difference whether we sell or mine.
Except that if you sell, its coin in hand right away vs mining which takes a while to collect the coin. A coin in the blockchain is worth two in the mainframe. IOW, it's better to get the money now because of the risks associated with mining (difficulty, hosting, hardware failure) and invest it in the next gen of 28nm chips. |

OK that helps narrow it down. In general, you should always talk to at least 4 or 5 lawyers, because they'll all give you different answers. Here's good one specializing in tech start-ups: Grellas Shah LLP is a Silicon Valley business and corporate law firm with a specialty in early-stage tech startups. Since 1984, our attorneys have helped many small to mid-sized businesses, startups, entrepreneurs, and executives throughout California – several thousand in all. We are experienced: nearly every business and corporate lawyer in our law firm has at least 10 years' experience as a practicing attorney in California. Our attorneys represent entrepreneurs, founders, executives, and owners - and the companies they lead - as well as individuals dealing with such companies. We do not represent VCs. http://www.grellas.com/ |

It seems there is a lot of antisemitism on this forum and I'm curious as to why it's acceptable, whereas other forms of racism are not.
...
I have no problem with criticism of Israel or Zionism.
...
What i do resent is the idea that as a Jew I'm part of some grand conspiracy to run the world. I assure you I'm not. You can't directly compare racism to antisemitism. Skin color and biological prejudice are fairly clear cut, compared to the murky complexities of 'who's a Jew.' The term 'Jew' can connote biology (genetic Jews), ethnicity (semetic Jews), religion (fundy Jews), politics (Zionist Jews), and culture (Jewy Jews). Sometimes this slippery ambiguity is cynically exploited and used to avoid scrutiny or derail uncomfortable conversations by digressing into the semantics of Semitism. Furthermore, Jews (unlike all other minorities) are hyper-represented in the (non-military) institutions of power: technology, government, finance, law, education, media, medicine, entertainment, etc. Understandably, this often results in jealously, leading to resentment and fear: "If Kagan is confirmed, Jews, who represent less than 2 percent of the U.S. population, will have 33 percent of the Supreme Court seats," former presidential candidate Pat Buchanan gripes. My advice is to not take the nasty things people say personally. When people talk about "the white man" keeping them down, I understand they mean the WASP elites, not Joe Sixpack or me. Full disclosure: I'm not any sort of Jew but do tend to like their women, who also often like me. Two reasons: Christian girls usually think I'm the antichrist, and my brainy bohemian worldview reminds them of their fathers. |

Hi gweedo, You aren't going to find an established, successful lawyer advertising a specialty in bitcoins (it's too new and controversial) much less one willing to expose themselves to the potential liabilities of accepting payments in BTC. Only a new, fresh out of law school type would be willing to take that risk for the sake of getting in on some cutting-edge, precedent-setting, possibly career-making case. The closest thing you'll get is a firm focused on the intersection of technology, finance, and intellectual property (IE patents/copyright/trademark). Wilson Sonsini is the white-shoed 500lb gorilla of that field. If you need the best, it's gonna cost you $$,$$$. There are a few others in the same class: Morrison Foerster, Fish Richardson, and Baker Botts. Morrison Foerster's domain name is mofo.com, so they deserve special consideration!  LMK if you need somebody to translate Modern Lawyerspeak to and/or from Old High Nerdish. http://www.vault.com/wps/portal/usa/rankings/individual?rankingId1=16&rankingId2=211&rankings=1®ionId=0&rankingYear=2013http://bestlawfirms.usnews.com/search.aspx |

The key thing is that ASICMINER won't be able to sell at that price again. We won't know that until the next auction. AM's proven record of rapid order satisfaction (which has now removed any uncertainty about their ability to deliver) and the resulting publicity may increase the final bids for future offerings beyond the initial results. |
