162  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [announce] Namecoin - a distributed naming system based on Bitcoin on: July 06, 2011, 07:29:55 PM
After some trouble setting up, the namecoin client is now downloading blocks and the Phoenix miner is setup to start as soon as all blocks are downloaded.
I understand why it's not popular... The client looks like it's made in 1983... Tongue

I'll mine some Namecoins on one of my rigs to speed things up a bit Wink Can't let all of you wait till august until the difficulty drops...


Difficulty should drop in ~8 days, to ~22,000

Unless more people come in seeing it about to drop causing it not to drop Grin

Get a newer client, problem solved. (Well, reduced to 0.0005)

The size limit is the transaction size, not teh value in BTC. If you received the 0.38BTC as many small transactions, you'll have a large transaction.

We are aware of that. We have no problem with helping other people get rich. You can thank us for our "donation" by destroying a few bitcoins Smiley

That simply divides the bitcoins up into smaller portions. Every bitcoin that is lost, is gone for good and simply reduces the amount of bitcoins there will ever be. So every coin destroyed is a small step Smiley
Unless you can convince EVERYONE to destroy their bitcoins, you only give away money to other people.

167  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [330 GH/s] "Eligius" pool: almost feeless PPS, hoppers welcome, no registration on: July 06, 2011, 12:31:51 PM
I had one miner failing to connect intermittently and realized that one was connected to mining.eligius.st, while the other machine has been pointed to s3.mining.etc... since the change from EU server. So, I pointed the first one to that address as well, and I haven't noticed any connection problems since then.

If it has anything to do with the local connections or the redirection on the server end is beyond me, though.

All now appear to point to teh same IP, ending in .78.7, although a while ago one pointed to .78.8. :S

luke-jr, which is the correct server? Tongue

Solution: wait until someoen writes something to allow one to not use JSON-RPC, stateless = bad for BW usage... Sad
169  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin economy on fire on: July 06, 2011, 12:11:22 PM
The price decrease was probably a good thing - it encourages people to actually go and spend their bitcoins, which in turn shall hopefully make BTC less volatile Cheesy

proof of shipping could be provided through block explorer and email correspondence.  whether or not paypal would actually do anything about that is another story.

But if he told paypal his account was hacked just to steal btc, that's fraud and you could always report him to http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx and then send him some nice threatening messages.

I got ripped off by this guy who sold me some pirated, completely fake microsoft software.  ($800 worth ) 

after not responding to 10-20 emails, he responded to the one where I gave him an ultimatum and let him know I was contacting local law enforcement.  of course, he was in my general area so that helped.  he promptly sent me $800 via paypal and asked me to return his bogus software just to make me lol.
Ship a pendrive with a wallet.dat on it. Then you have seller-protection? Smiley
173  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin economy on fire on: July 05, 2011, 12:17:00 AM
This will give you a somewhat more accurate metric.  Though it's still not foolproof.

Code:
wget -O '-' --no-check-certificate https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Trade | grep -c '<li>'

Anyone with a reasonably-reliable server want to set something up? Smiley
174  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My earlier google trend correlation still holding strong, crash predictable on: July 04, 2011, 11:28:04 PM
Is there tabular data for that index?

I would like to take a closer look at it and quantify that correlation a little more precisely.

http://www.google.com/trends/viz?q=bitcoin&graph=all_csv&sa=N

I'd love you to take a look at it, your statistical analysis is always very good.


All I got from that is a bunch of weird characters

Code:
⁙⁵†⁵⁳⁴†⁢⁥†⁳⁩⁧⁥⁤†⁩†⁴†⁥⁸⁰⁲⁴†⁤⁡⁴⁡†⁦⁲†⁇⁧⁥†⁔⁲⁥⁤⁳

How do you make Google give you the list?
Your browser's a screwing up the compression.
175  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My earlier google trend correlation still holding strong, crash predictable on: July 04, 2011, 11:27:36 PM
I think it's more of a feedback loop than just search volume -> price.


Up price = news = speculators = up price = news, repeat, until speculators bail.

Why wouldn't the correlation break at that point? A huge drop in prices should generate news, which should lead to a higher trend then price. Or are you arguing that speculators haven't bailed yet?
I guess more detail: It generates news, but investors don't want have as much incentive to invset from this news, which is bad news. It's liek teh difference from a micropone being newar enouhg to a speaker for a feedback loop, or near enough fro an echo.

(Above theory is probably wrong Smiley)

May I ask that you keep doing these stats? Smiley

Also... brilliant! Cheesy
179  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Was just gonna set up a couple CPU's to mine, and find out about the price drop. on: July 04, 2011, 10:56:09 PM
CPU/Rigs, I understand the whole GPU/CPU thing now what I'm saying is I was going to put together something a little more efficient for mining but with the price drop I'm not exactly sure it would be worth it. Not that it's drastic or anything but it's making me nervous.

It can drop even lower and stay low... It can go sky high... No one can tell...

No-one? What about me? Wink

Uhmm... how does it feel to get free bitcoins from a giveaway after a scam?  Huh I am not sure I want to know...
Maybe they gave them back to the scammed people? Unlikely, I guess! Tongue
