Posting the actual errors you are seeing would help you get an accurate answer of what to do.

Uninstalling and reinstalling Bitcoin won't help if one of the databases has been corrupted; the data and the program are kept separately on the computer, and the Bitcoin data/wallet directory is not removed by uninstalling the client program.

If you have never used your wallet addresses for anything, than the wallet file certainly doesn't need to be kept.

What if I were to upload a copy of the blockchain to the web, and post complete instructions for you, so you could quickly fix a corrupted blockchain? Oh, wait, I already did that in this newbie forum: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=51456.0

It would be banks. I doubt any sane exchange would take credit cards, the story should be "Bitcoiners won't accept disputable, reversible, high fee payments, or reward companies that extract fees from person-to-person commerce." If you have a merchant account, you know very well that processing a credit card payment is being given money that you hope doesn't get yanked out of your account months later, with a $25 fee to do the paperwork of disputing the chargeback when it happens. Too many disputes, and the merchant services will start demanding a minimum 10%-20%+ of your transactions held for months.

Your big mistake was not closing your PayPal and the associated bank account while you were ahead, to even the score of consumer vs PayPal by 0.001%. Otherwise PayPal gets to close it when they have $2000+ of your money. They'll never complain while the money is going in, but attempt a big withdraw, and that's when you'll get your account locked, along with any recent withdraws or payments being reversed, so they make maximum bank when you can't get it unlocked. Of course that's after you've already sent them photo ID, bills, SSN, passport, business license, lists of suppliers and invoices, proofs of shipping, shipper's account numbers; they just use that to mess with your credit and suppliers, steal your business model, and keep you from opening another account.

Put it on silent. Then put this wav as your voice mail message. It'll confuse at least 1/3 of the callers to all hell.

I learned that Windows 7 task scheduler sucks big balls. I have a server I've been trying to consolidate, but two weeks later it is still running on an XP machine because the completely rewritten tasks just don't run correctly regardless of effort. It's a fustercluck.

If you send coins, your client will immediately "debit" your account and show your balance as 0. However, the balance isn't actually taken from your address until the transaction is broadcast on the P2P network and included in a block.

The bad transaction where you spend twice the bitcoins you have would not have been accepted by a mining node, your original Bitcoin balance would not be affected. However, your bitcoin client's wallet keeps track of the balance it thinks you have, and would continue to say you have a zero balance unless you went in with a third party utility and manually removed the bad transaction.

I've found DSL to be much better an option for businesses than cable. You can pick your own real full service ISP, and they don't decide to randomly upgrade for two hours a week every other week with no downtime announcement.
You could make the argument that is more profitable to use the open Wi-Fi next door, but I wouldn't want to offer that to others.

They have been around for a while. Probably a semi-private pool for some big producers. It's a sticky dynamic IP from Telefónica de España, which is the largest fixed phone and ADSL operator in Spain", they have a /16 of IPs for subscribers.

Bonus points if you can find their Bitcoin port or a web interface; they haven't found a block for a while and aren't connected to blockchain.info right now.

Here's the address where most of the generates were being sent through...http://blockexplorer.com/address/1P9zu23E131FR9eTubaSt6WExmcs5zAGSx, now scattered to dozens of addresses..

Reminds me of mystery miner, or another big miner:
2010-Dec-10
15:12 < ArtForz> yeah, I'm down to 1250btc/day
15:12 < ArtForz> at least until my next 12 5970s arrive

T1 is the DSL for non-noobs. Costs you $500+/mo but has 99.99% uptime, guaranteed bandwidth up and down, and can connect to anything you want, not just one consumer dynamic IP on a crap ISP who's TOS do not allow servers.

Aha.

Yes, that blocks were a complete fabrication from a random number generator, and they were proxying and hopping with miner's hashes. Note that there are no real Bitcoin blocks linked or mentioned on their stats page. Making their fake blocks unprofitable to hop would be first priority in such a scheme, hence why the minimum solve time is >1/2 difficulty. Plus they can fake "unlucky" which they couldn't do if they were PPS.

The pool better publish their entire list of found Bitcoin block numbers and real finding times and submitted shares...or get tarred and feathered.

The graph shows three distinct stages, blocks <100 are more spread out, with just the expected short rounds missing (stolen?). Then after that, nothing that looks like pool rounds.

The first thing you have to do to tab this is tune your guitar 60 cents sharp and throw out your sense of pitch...

lol, "my purchasing choices are the best that could have been made, so you should do what I do". A.K.A. my religion, sports team, race is what I could recommend.
At least independent testing does show that the Corsair TX 850w holds it's own.

Well done, I stopped responding after I realized my comments were not being read or comprehended. Why must he install SDK 2.3 (which is not recommended by anybody, and does not replace the 2.6 opencl runtimes in %system% anyway) over a working install?

For anybody else that has no clue what is being talked about here, this is a guiminer error. When I googled, the answer was in the top of the results: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3878.msg167122#msg167122

You will likely need to get the 6-14-2011 guiminer version, pick "new miner" from the file menu, and use the ufasoft CPU miner. It has been removed from the recent versions because CPU mining costs 10x more in electricity than the Bitcoins it generates.

Crazy pool luck this week! Average shares per round were 1,053,076, at difficulty 1,379,000. Plus 18(!) rounds in a row under difficulty. Something karmic happening down under (volunteered shares still going your way?).

The difficulty is updated every 2016 blocks, here are the most recent blocks where the difficulty changed/will change

I thought I would add to this thread - the motherboards listed that require shorting simply support PCIe hot plug card detection, they are not doing anything wrong. What is doing something wrong is the 16x-1x adapter.

I thought I would investigate whether the video card should be connecting all available hotplug pins (there is one at 1x, 4x, 8x, and 16x card length). The highlighted section of the PCISIG spec says cards should only short the last hotplug detect pin back to hotplug ground. Therefore we can conclude that 16x=>1x adapter cables should ideally have been designed to connect all PRSNT2# lines on the 16x connector together (B81, B48, B31, B17) to pass any width card's hotplug signal through to the 1x detect line.

As you can see in the diagram below, PRSNT2# only detects if it has been grounded, B17 (the pin for 1x cards) can be shorted to B16 or B18 for ground as mentioned by Zoomer. The A1 hotplug ground has a shorter finger pad; this along with a short finger hotplug detect at the other end of the complete card length ensures the card is fully inserted before the hotplug signal is connected. The PCIe 1x adapter should likewise have a shorter B17 finger on the card that plugs into the mainboard.
