It's like 30 seconds.

Is bitparking going to have an i0 pool?

Based on the i0guild pool speed during the test, lots of people did indeed lose money.

It's not how big your share is it's how you use it that matters.

Love the layout I'll try it out this weekend. =)

WTF.

Can you run phoenix manually from the command line with the new kernel? I assume that works fine it just won't work with gpumon?

I used diskpart

Just make sure you use diskpart on the right drive (flash drive). you'll be wiping the contents.

You can also google "recover space flash drive partition" which should give you lots of solutions.

So when you write the image you can browse the folders, see the files, all that jazz? It's just when it tries to boot from it that it chokes and dies?

I also assume you updated the bios. I didn't read back.

Donation sent. That will put you back to work for at least 5 minutes. Maybe 4.

I'd delete all the existing partitions on the usb drive. Format it. Then try with win32 diskimager. I had a usb drive I was using for ubuntu, then bamt, then bamt again, somewhere the drive got messed up nothing would work. I deleted all the partitions, new format and it was back to new. I used diskpart

Cool project.

Beyond pretty graphs, what have you learned? Are some pools luckier? Do some pools out perform the average?

Before everyone starts lecturing me about statistics and probabilities, all pools are not created equal. Bitcoins.lc runs very very low invalids. I've seen other polls run as high as 3%. They're running different backends. The code that manages the workers I'm sure varies and has an effect on how effective the pool is.

Maybe there's not enough data to draw any conclusions, blocks don't happen very often. But if anyone has any theories on this data do share.

I have no clue what you're going on about.

He doesn't see value in it. You're arguing he should value IxCoins? He should worry IxCoins is stealing hasing power? He should worry IxCoins is a scam?

Regardless, whatever point you're trying to make is more or less retarded. Show me the significant bandwidth that has left Bitcoin for IxCoin. Secondly, if 3000 ghash left Bitcoin (25%) that's really not a big deal. The network runs just as well at 1k ghash as it does at 15k ghash. Miners work through it, difficulty adjusts, it's not a big deal.

Shit 80% of miners could start a mass exodus and the effects are minimal. It would take 1-2 weeks for that many miners to GTFO and during that time difficultly would already be adjusting. Even if they magically left at once we work through it, transactions go from 6 minutes to 30 minutes. People survive and within a few weeks things are back to normal.

I've diverted more hashing power typing this post then IxCoin has "stolen" from Bitcoin.

I understand the situation, you didn't want to destroy the exchange by telling people "Hey our accounts are frozen no one is getting paid!".

But really, that's probably what you should have said much earlier. I have a withdrawal from the 1st of August that's pending. Then I notice there's now a check option, I was not e-mailed about that option. I was not e-mailed about other options to cash out. Also my funds were not unfrozen so I could re-buy as Bitcoins value dropped. I'm not sure I would of but it would have been nice to have the USD back in the account since it was going to be weeks before it was sent.

I plan to keep using TradeHill they seem fairly honest and competent.

I understand that BoA pulled the rug out from under you. But the whole "we're working on it" isn't enough. 2 day air people certified checks. Heck even money orders. What I would have done is just e-mailed the people with pending withdrawals. Deal with them and avoid making a big blog post about it. That buys you some time and takes care of the main people effected.

I was surprised there wasn't more stink about it. TH kept accepting money, but wasn't able to send it back out via ach/wire. That's sorta important. Maybe it was my fault for not asking the money to be unfrozen so I could use another method. Maybe Paxum? Check? I don't know.

Next time work with people to get them the money quickly. Tell them the other options, tell them wires are down for the moment, people could have even withdrawn bitcoins and sold them on MtGox and gotten the money back out that way. Sure it sucks to send them to the competition, but that would have been then my deposit being on hold for 12 days. I don't need the money but it concerns me that all the wires/deposits were just in limbo this entire time. On August 2nd (I assume it started then since my deposit wasn't sent) everyone pending gets the usd back in their tradehill, informed of other options and it's done.

If they cash out and go to MtGox that would have been a lot better then having my money tied up with "we're working on it" for almost 2 weeks now. Like I said I'm still going to use TH but I'm not too pleased they weren't more proactive to solve the issue and just let my money rot in limbo. There were a number of solutions that would have resolved it and I would have been happy with, the only one that I'm not happy with is the delays while I keep waiting. The day you added the check option everyone with pending wires should have been informed.

Overall wires going down isn't that big of a deal. There's other options. People can buy back bitcoins, move it around, give them free trades for a week, use paxum, checks etc.. It became a bigger deal because wires were held in limbo with no timeline and honestly not enough solutions from your end. Next time put the usd back, tell them of the other options, tell them you're working on getting wires back, and that's the end of it. This whole 'wtf is going on with TH' could have been avoided day 1.

So he has like 6-7 years to push a new client with the fix? Or people fork it and make the fix themselves? I mean at least within lets say 5 years.

How is it a scam?

When Bitcoin reaches 21 million all new blocks minted by miners will be rejected.

They fact they didn't raise the max blocks hardly makes it a scam.

Great job Gox!

You've gotten a lot of shit on the forums (with good reason) but you've worked hard to restore your name and products. As a show of faith on my end I'm going to return to MtGox as my main exchange for the foreseeable future. Keep up the good work!

I've seen people pay $1100 for 6990s and these are far better. I posted it so I wasn't interested either, but I know some people will be.

Gogogogogo!

Only 1 available.

It's funny how hackers flooding the market with 75K coins from mybitcoin.com is called a "crash". When someone with 150k buys up the market it's not a rally it's "temporary blip".

Hash rates have nothing to do with anything. Bitcoin works just as well at 1.5k ghash as it does at 15k ghash.

Bad press? You heard the press on the USD? Do you still use USD? Have you moved all your savings out of USD? Do you still get paid in USD?

People use Bitcoins as a currency. What that currency trades for on the open market doesn't mean jack squat. Sellers don't sell at a fixed BTC price. They sell at a fixed USD price. Bitcoins could be worth 10 cents and it doesn't change how these transactions work. When you go buy $50 worth of bitcoins to buy that bong you've had your eye on, does it really matter if you buy 100 bitcoins with that $50 or 2 bitcoins? The buyer/seller don't really care.

The people who care are the miners, investors, day traders, get rich quick crew. None of those people are needed. 80% of miners could fuck off and it would barely be a blip in the community. An 80% exodus would take 2-3 weeks plenty of time for difficulty to adjust. Even if there was a span where transactions took 15 minutes instead of 5 to confirm? Big deal. Eventually it adjusts and things are back to normal. No more trading bots? Sign me up for that. Get rid of the drama queens, the pumper and dumpers, get rich quick crew, and most of the cancer of the bitcoin community is gone.

Trust me they're not nearly as important as they'd tell you they are. And the USD value of BTC isn't nearly as important as people tell you it is. In fact, it isn't important at all. If Bitcoins magically stayed at $2 for the next 10 years it would work just fine. People mine at a loss at various folding projects, lots of people don't pay for electricity, there'd be plenty of miners still cranking away.
