Thank you for your input Stephen.
Although i didn't have something like this in mind ,a service like this makes things a lot easier.

Some people could say that my subject could be a bit misleading since english is not my native language but bare with me...
I was thinking the other day that i didn't want to exchange btc with usd/eur but i preffered to exchange them with hardware.
So as a noob in electronics , but an enthousiast in anything that i've encounter , i would like to buy an arduino board or something similar with lan/wireless addons .
Although the wiki site has a pretty long list of people and services i havent stumbled upon something similar (that is available now). Maybe i've missed something. The other part was that international shipping was a bit tricky .
I happen to live in Greece. Some of the merchants are using shipping only inside US ....
If anyone has info on a merchant that sells electronics  in btc and uses international shipping , i would be very obliged for a reply or a pm.
thank you for your time
604  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Casascius Bitcoin POS system on: October 20, 2011, 06:54:03 AM
Since I develop software for POS machines, I'm probably qualified to speak on the matter

POS machines are computers with tight security requirements (PCI-DSS). They are not web browsers that simply shovel data from the server to the screen. Further, they only run signed binaries. A gift card app is a signed binary.  No, they would not send coins themselves (nowhere near enough storage available for a block chain), a server would do it.

You are welcome to tone down the attitude, your insights will be welcomed more.

As a self professed qualified speaker on the matter, how can you deny that all any credit card processor machine would need is a server connected to an e-wallet system?

That would streamline this whole thing and open it up to the entire world instead of limiting it to people who like your box.
dear matthew,
Respecting your  1188 posts (in which i guess had the same attitude)...
Topic starter casascius invested time, his know how and produced a solution for a problem that exists.
You on the other hand with your dick-attitute managed to create problems than solutions. You are far away from constructive criticism...
There is a saying that if you are not part of the solution , you are part of the problem.
Think for a moment  where are you putting your self.
In the end i have a question.
can you do it better?
a)do it.
b)you can't. just applaud and stfu.
the only thing that came out of your crap posts was that casascius should integrate bitcoin functions to the existing system.
Casascius TRIED to explain to you that these are signed.
As you know bussiness world is not full of tech savvy persons and this is a fine start.
This might not be the final solution (for a number of reasons) BUT its a proof of concept that can be done and its pretty damn good.

actually the number that you see is the number of bits on a byte.
You can see the same one on typing usd/bit (with more details).
606  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: help needed in fpga (actually enlightment and instructions...) on: September 14, 2011, 07:25:34 AM
i'm also a bystander on this...
so , with as much as i've gathered there is no way to "send" instructions to a pci card without a soldering iron , and a cable with direct access to the board. fpga mining is not applicable to fpga cards in general.(and probably will never be)
It was a question that i had to be clarified. Smiley
thanks for the info.
607  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: help needed in fpga (actually enlightment and instructions...) on: September 13, 2011, 10:31:27 PM
ty for replying.
when my total hash rate is no more than 130 mh/s , 10-15mhs is good....
ok. so i have that card in pci. what can i do with it ? how? do i need a special driver? software to send to the card what to run?
608  Bitcoin / Mining / help needed in fpga (actually enlightment and instructions...) on: September 13, 2011, 09:32:55 AM
reading through the forum i stumpled upon a claim that someone could use a fpga card from a dvr for mining..
and i remembered a dvr that is presumably dead in my office. long story short i have a pci card with an altera cyclone chip ep1g20f400c8 .
Does anybody knows if this can be used for mining purposes?
can someone instruct me how to do that?
609  Economy / Goods / Re: Help me to get fit! It's easy ;) on: September 13, 2011, 07:42:55 AM

610  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Possible false alarm: MtGox break in on: September 13, 2011, 07:32:04 AM
It seems Mt Gox has been broken into again. My account was just liquidated and send to a foreign address, the IP of which seems to be in the Ukraine. I assume I was targeted because I'm a Bitcoin developer.

Since I use Linux and use unique high entropy passwords, I am ruling out any nonsense like local trojans.

Everyone: Clear out your accounts if you have anything in them.
again?

they seem to have more holes than a sponge...
and the bitcointalk incident these days..
ppl should implement temporary accounts..
611  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Time for something better than MtGox? on: September 12, 2011, 08:46:06 AM
I use the alternatives because I want to promote competition. I don't like monopolies.
+10000000000000
i'm very glad that there are people with this kind of though (same as mine)
612  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoinica - 15169.57 BTC Traded in the last 24 hours on: September 12, 2011, 08:42:28 AM
I post at most one thread per day. Getting it on first page means it's fairly popular.
Bitcoinica is now the second largest exchange, but there are only three threads about it in this forum.
More people should be invited to join and see.
i'll ask this one as polite as i can..
are you high on something?
ok it might be a good (or even the best) exchange in design /services/safety. dont write things that a just are not true.
www.bitcoincharts.com . check the trading volumes please.
 
613  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: at 7$ per btc i need to pull the plug on: September 06, 2011, 02:16:10 PM
Dang... It hit almost $6 today.... will this drop ever end?  ~$2 in 2 days .... what the heck is going on?  Is everyone pulling out?  This feels like a big sham!
well imo its better for ppl who don't want to support all of this to go now, when it is a bit unprofitable.
For ppl like me (i hope that there are more) bitcoin isn't about profit.
i didn't "invest" on rigs.I have nothing to lose.
Even if its price is -1$ (just like when it started) i'm still going to be around.
Its a financial burden i can take.
Just like seti/folding and a whole lot of projects that you didn't expect anything in return..
614  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Concerns about the fluctuation, even dramatic, of the price of Bitcoin... on: September 06, 2011, 11:23:22 AM
Also, mtgox screwed mtgoxlive up. The graphs are not at all even close to accurate
actually greedy and /or naive miners did (and do ) have something to do with the price.
when you actually expect to sell @ 10$, 8$ , 6$ ... it is going to get ugly. Until someone with resources decides to buy it in just before the next bubble.
as for the tesla subject that someone mentioned.
i think that tesla was working with dc. global electricity is used with ac.
615  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Something to pick your brain on... on: August 04, 2011, 06:33:00 AM
aparently there is something wrong with the module  and in the part of the code that should suggests a variable's value (usd) , suggests the btc variable.
contact with the creator of the module or you can post code here and let ppl find the bug.
616  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: 4hrs (now 14) and still unconfirmed? on: August 04, 2011, 06:14:16 AM
i happen to have the same problem with a deepbit transfer with now more than 12 hours.
i'm on block #139544 .


617  Economy / Speculation / Re: SELL EVERYTHING!!!!! on: August 02, 2011, 07:35:46 PM
i see some ridiculous trading move at mtgox of 0.01~0.10 btc @ 11.68 .
is this bots trying to get a fix on the price?
in any case i would not sell under 15$ . its not my estimate that this is what bitcoin worth. no one can estimate that.
its my psychological barrier.  Grin
618  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Public distribution of wallet.dat? on: August 02, 2011, 11:33:06 AM
well, sort version , no.
long version..
an online backup of wallet.dat would not reasure me (an maybe other people) of the practices of the exchange/online wallet service.
how would you know that the encrypted wallet is the wallet of the exchange?
its at least amateurish to not backup. 
619  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Catalyst 11.7 and 11.8 preview drivers available !!!! on: July 29, 2011, 10:52:56 AM
i too tried catalyst 11.7 and experienced an ~10% down in mhash  rate.
also another side-effect was a constant  use of cpu for every poclbm instance run with guiminer.
of course a downgrade was the solution to 11.6.
