Should have stormed their castle, torches and pitchforks in hand, weeks ago.

Way too soon.

http://www.btc.sx is always good for some long/short gambling fun.

HAY!
nice plug:

http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/05/weve-got-a-butterfly-labs-bitcoin-miner-and-its-pretty-darn-fast/

can you post the configuration you came up with?

Thanks for the info... I guess I learned my lesson the hard way.
My apologies to tom/cablepair for jumping the gun on my assumptions; was going off of reviews I'd seen here and other places.

You have to add your order manually at the top of the list, then it puts you in the queue...

There's one on here that says delivered

http://bfl.ptz.ro/

Don't know how official this page is though. Anyone?

So this tom/cablepair guy has videos of these little "mod miner quads" all over youtube. is he just making fake props and showing fake stats on the screen? I mean what the fuck? The shit that people come up with.

anyone know whatever became of cablepair and btcfpga.com?

I fool heartedly got into an email convo with the poster of this CL ad:

 http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/bar/3758244601.html

last night and was sent a custom coinbase checkout link to send them 1BTC for this item... of course today there is absolutely no response to multiple emials asking about shipment.

And the sky... She just might be falling.

If you go looking for drama... You'll usually find it.

Just seems goofy to lie around in bed in the wee hours of the mornin contemplating odd fantasies like this.

The following is for running a ruby script with Bitcoin-Qt in terminal on OS X 10.8.3, not sure if this works on previous systems.
I'm pretty sure you have to install Ruby on Rails (http://createdbypete.com/articles/ruby-on-rails-development-with-mac-os-x-mountain-lion/)

Open a terminal and run the following to set up bitcoin.conf so that Bitcoin-Qt can operate in server mode. This will allow you to send command lines to it:

Then startup Bitcoin-Qt as a server by entering the following into the terminal:

Once it is up and running, go to the Applications folder and find Bitcoin Qt. Right click on the app and choose "Show Package Contents." Open the "Contents" folder and copy your .rb script into "MacOs" folder. IMPORTANT: Make sure you edit within the .rb script "rpcuser" and "rpcpassword" to reflect the info from your bitcoin.conf file.

Open a new terminal and type:

once there do:
(assuming the script name is brute.rb)

and you should get to crackin... hope this helps any mac users out there.

Not quite the dinning experience but foodler.com accepts bitcoin. (see foodler.com/user/Bitcoin.do)

They aggregate restaurants in most major cities for take out and delivery. Had some pretty good spots listed in my area in LA last I checked.

oh cool!

badabing badaboom and it's working.... THANKS!

I have installed MacPorts and some other things, is that the dependencies you're talking about?

from total noob standstill, that has set up a mining account on mining.bitcoin.cz, how do I setup MacMiner from the beginning??

do I use my site login info? or the worker/password info?

this is what I've got so far:

here's a google news search of the past week with "zimbabwe + bitcoin"
