So, when I was away for vacation my miner's power supply just up-and-died. When I got home, I check to make sure it wasn't anything else and it was all good.
How would I be able to tell if it's dead or just something minor is wrong?
--The back of the adapter-- --------------------------- Replacement AC Adapter Model: ST-C-120-12001000CT Input: 100-240V-2.5A 50/60Hz Output: 12V |: 10A ---------------------------
I'm probably going to head to my local nerd-shack to buy a new one, but I wanted to make sure it wasn't something that maybe I did?

[Sorta-off-topic]: I'm wanting to setup my own DNS server for this, how would I go about doing it? I've read the tutorials on the site, but doesn't get much detail on ports and stuff.
That's very much on-topic. You run the php script at the top of this thread and it should generate a zone file you can feed to bind. If you don't know how to configure bind the o'reilly book DNS and Bind comes highly recommended. Say I have other projects on that server (and on that IP for this case), would it lock the whole IP up or just use specific ports? I also heard setting up a DNS server uses a bit of bandwidth which is why I'm thinking about renting a tiny VPS somewhere else just for testing.

Has anyone tried getting google or opendns to support .bit ? It would rock if getting access to .bit domains was as simple as using google's or opendns's nameservers.
I would think there would need to be more registrars and registered domains involved before that get into it. [Sorta-off-topic]: I'm wanting to setup my own DNS server for this, how would I go about doing it? I've read the tutorials on the site, but doesn't get much detail on ports and stuff.

With a simple API, it wouldn't be too hard to pool mine and have getworks. Although, getworks would probably be at 1 every 10 minutes. Might be better to setup a MineChain?

I'd say it can do 10Gh/s with 10w of power.

Cool! One question though. If I have a wallet on another PC and use another one on another PC. Is it still the same wallet account that I can or or is it a new one? coz, it'l be more easy if you can see your transaction history using same wallet account on both PC's. sorry for my english. I guess technically if you copy the wallet.dat file between computers it would work. I haven't tried it yet. If doing that, I would suggest using https://blockchain.info/wallet as it has the most advanced settings for being an online wallet that I've seen. [Edit]: Also, if you know the address of the original wallet, you can just track it on the block explorer. https://blockchain.info/address/1dice8EMZmqKvrGE4Qc9bUFf9PX3xaYDpYou can view this on any computer and see transactions. The wallet would need private keys (originating from the original client, but are able to be exported for other clients or just to be backed up) in order to send bitcoins.

Mine and my friends wallets are showing as disconnected. Is this happening to anyone else?

With a little bit of timing, I was able to capture a picture of it booting up before crashing. Know any good app's that can print-out (at least in text) a stacktrace?

i am confident that it is a ponzi. I do not have proof, because I do not need proof. If it is a ponzi, there is no proof to be had. Sort of like how you can't prove that unicorns do or don't exist. in what universe does somebody offer 7% weekly when half that much would still have people lining up to get in? The 7% keeps people from withdrawing their principal. It is set at 7% for that reason and no other. If this were a real business, run by a real business man, all of that excess profit would be kept by the promoter. Depositors are too greedy to withdraw with those returns on the table. It really is very simple.
I have only 10 btc in BTCST as I type this (hedged with betsofbitcoin). But that is also most of my bitcoins atm. I am looking for a quick buck or two. But honestly, the sooner this shit defaults, the sooner bitcoin can start recovering from all the damage. But go ahead and flame me anyway.
This is the one post I will make regarding the ponzi issue. Peace.
No further comments.

I'm very interested in getting started.. I'm already planning on investing in a rig. I just wanna make bitcoins and begin spreadin the word out to my friends about bitcoins.. I find the whole concept to be fascinating.. Well before you invest in any hardware, lurk and ask around the hardware section ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=44.0 ) and see what will work best for your environment. I'm running a BFL Single at ~850Mh/s (rig @ 54-60*c, room @ 26-32*c) [haven't done power checks yet]. At the cost of $650, I find it the cheaper solution in the long run. And, I can use it in the long run for decryption SHA256 hashes (like I'll ever need that).

I honestly don't know.. I'm working off of an iMac.. I'm a noob so I don't really understand the whole bitcoin mining process.. Don't know where to begin or how to begin Well depending on how or how much you'd like to invest, that can be a start. If you're looking to invest in a new computer (called a "rig" around these forums) and built specifically to mine Bitcoins, if you're looking to invest in monetary trade and play the market (which recently has been very stable compared to the past few months), maybe you're just interested in coding or doing some graphical work for members within the Bitcoin community, or maybe you're interested in working with people to bring Bitcoins to attention to them. Anyway you're interested to get started, just let us know.

Someone deleted all of Bitcoinica's servers?
Oops.
I'd do the same thing if I just lost 18k coins.

Could this be used to attack Bitcoin?
No. Bitcoin connections are TCP, so you can't forge the IP address. I've also implemented denial-of-service checks that automatically ban misbehaving peers to make network disruption attacks more difficult. Trying to anticipate future DoS attacks is hidden engineering work that you will never notice if we get it right. I haven't checked, but are there other IRC's to bootstrap on if the main one goes offline?
