while BTC.price != stable {
difficulty--;
}

OR

while difficulty > 1000000 {
BTC.price = BTC.price*(difficulty/1000000);
BTC.price++;
}

Great post.  Glad those still happen occasionally here.

If you dropped $4 worth of singles, would you have posted an ad on Craigslist about it?  Just curious.

Hey now, it is important to find the source of these issues. Better it something small than something like the allinvain situation (I still think someone he knew took it).

If he were one of the first 5 people to complain about losing BTC, or read any of the dozen or so security posts on how to avoid these issues since, maybe...

As far as allinvain, I'm on the fence as to whether or not that really happened... not sure one way or the other.  As far as who took it if it did happen, well, to me, it's a sort of leaving your house unlocked with 500,000$ worth of shit and no insurance, coupled with all of your eggs in one basket.

You don't get to 25,000 BTC without ACCIDENTALLY learning SOMETHING about how to protect your shit.

Can you put in a setting for adjusting down the difficulty?  I'd like to produce about double the coins I currently do.

It's unethical to let a sucker keep their paypal money

It's almost 5 days... if they don't surrender, shall you taunt them a second time?
448  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [ATTN!!] Bitcoin Security nearly Breached on: July 07, 2011, 12:40:51 AM
There are nearly 50% of pool miners there for one reason - they like DeepBit better than the others.

When other sites are more reliable, cheaper, produce more coins, have a nicer interface, whatever the reasoning people are choosing deepbit - they will switch to someone else.

It's not about hacking or stealing coins or any of this other nonsense.  3% commissions on 50% of 154 blocks a day... lets see... excluding the "change", and neglecting the 10% fees on the share miners:

77 * 50 BTC = 5775 BTC per day * 2% = BTC 115.5 per day, or $1732.50 USD at $15/BTC...

Now tell me, when you're already making $52,000.00 a month, or $623k a year conservatively, why are you going to muck around?

People need to stop and think before making these idiotic posts.

450  Economy / Goods / [WTB] 2x5870 or 2x5890 - 10-32 BTC on: July 04, 2011, 10:10:58 PM
Only interested in these two models, thanks in advance Smiley

10 BTC each for two 5870s
16 BTC each for two 5970s

PM if interested.

If you're not interested, or you feel the price is too low, then just pass :-)  I know what I'm willing to pay, and am not interested in opening up a debate on what you think your stuff is worth.

Sorry for the slow progress, working as fast as I can.

EDIT: At the request of several people, I am spending all of the coins in each address I come across to a secure wallet on my machine.  I will publish a complete list of compromised addresses and where the coins they held are after I finish processing the (growing) collection of wallets that I have.  We can iron out claim details later.  I have a process fetching and deleting new wallets automatically now, so hopefully he won't get his hands on any more.

After all the warnings given out, I think you should spend all of these coins to a charity for the mentally retarded

I just got an email advertising this wonderfull scam

I thought there already was a topic on it but couldn't find it so i thought i'd put this up as a warning.

It's funny how hard they try to make this look legit, the awards are epic!

DO NOT USE THIS SOFTWARE!

If a $750 lesson in bitcoins helps you learn to keep things that are important to you in life secure, it's a lesson well learned.  Its not much worse than getting your car broken into with a $500 deductible.
455  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Anybody else getting slaughtered by this latest difficulty? on: June 29, 2011, 09:49:39 PM
0.06 BTC/day is less than electricity.  That may be what he's trying to say.

If you're that desperate, go check ebay for buy it nows.  I got a pair of 5870's for $500.  They're probably even cheaper right about now Smiley

I get about 750-850 MH/s pool mining, which at present difficulty is about 0.50 BTC.  So, it's still covering electricity, and maybe a little bit more, but not much.  At 0.06 you might as well use this:

Indeed.  Bitcoin's value requires a constant infusion of new market participants. 

That's the definition of a Ponzi scheme.

I really resent you implying our Pyramid Scheme is a Ponzi scheme.
457  Economy / Goods / Re: Selling 17-GPU Mining Cluster (Whole Cluster Only) on: June 29, 2011, 02:23:26 PM
That's awesome that you guys nitpicked over how many GPUs, but missed the claim of 5400 GH/s, which is about half of all Bitcoin's network hash rate.

I'm going to assume he meant 5400 MH/s, and just say I'll look it over and see if the economics make sense Smiley
