It's not volume-related, and being "old school" has nothing to do with it either. Free Yubikeys are given to people who had a transaction rolled back back when prices dropped to $0.01

While the idea is nice and all, I do have two concerns:

1. What jimbo77 said.
2. If 50% is given to charity, the odds will be horrible. I doubt anyone will play. 10%, sure, but not 50%.

I hope you understand that noone around here will ever use norton since it uses a lot or resources.
Not to mention that Avira finds more viruses than Norton does... and is free.
164  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why is Bitcoin tanking this afternoon? on: August 03, 2011, 07:11:18 PM
1) we have a lot of miners.
2) we have a lot of mining hoppers that jump in for a day with massive Giga Hash and then switch down till next difficulty.
Why would these have any effect at all?

Haven't gotten in on the Bitcoin Pyramid and Bitcoin Randomizer action yet? If you're still undecided on whether you should jump on the bandwagon, I've got an offer that you can't refuse.

Anyone who signs up using my Bitcoin Pyramid referral link and makes a deposit will receive 20% cashback on all of their deposits. For example if you make a 1 BTC deposit, you will get 0.2 BTC from me. The bitcoins will be sent to the withdrawal address listed on Bitcoin Pyramid. Just drop me a PM or post here with your member ID to take advantage of the offer.

Also, anyone who signs up using my Bitcoin Randomizer referral link will receive 0.2 BTC cashback. The account must be activated. Post here or PM me with your username and the bitcoin address you want the bitcoins sent to.

Hope you choose to sign up! Cheesy

are you saying that i have stolen?
say if i did have a exploit against mtgox.
i could steal anyone's money.
i did not do that, i just released the exploit to the forum.

how does that make me a bad person?
are locksmiths also bad then? they can unlock people doors?
Locksmiths in general are not bad, no. But if a locksmith handed out keys to the bank to everyone in town, then yes, that person is bad.

Look, I didn't even directly call you an asshole. I said it was an asshole move to expose everyone's money to a security risk. You only took offense because you yourself have committed this act. This is akin to a murderer taking offense to someone saying murderers are criminals and sinners.
169  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bug Policy --- Admins need to enforce this on: August 03, 2011, 03:18:40 PM
No, I'm calling you an asshole because you've made an asshole move.

170  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bug Policy --- Admins need to enforce this on: August 03, 2011, 03:13:16 PM
I'd say it's everyone's responsibility to not be an asshole.
171  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bug Policy --- Admins need to enforce this on: August 03, 2011, 03:07:04 PM
uuhhh! people are really mad at me. Cheesy
i do as i do, work with it!

say i found a flaw in mtgox, that allowed me to empty random accounts.
if i just publicly showed people how to do it, they would fastly abandon mtgox, beacuse it was insecure.

problem solved!  
It would be a better idea to follow these steps:

1. Inform MtGox about the flaw so they are given a chance to fix it.
2. If it is not fixed, tell people that there is a flaw that MtGox refuses to fix, so they should empty their accounts, but do not post any details.
2a. After people have been given a chance to withdraw their funds and abandon MtGox, post the full details.
3. If the problem is fixed, post the flaw, in full, on the forum. Then people can decide on their own if MtGox should be abandoned or not.

Otherwise, people may not even have a chance to abandon MtGox. All their money may get stolen, because of you.

Hmm not applying here, in fact just bad argument regarding full-disclosure. Cause it was made to protect users (not the developers) In this case the dev is the guy not locking his door and users none. Maybe saying he didn't lock the door to his wife after the second time you catch him will make his wife mad and wanting to make something for that won't happen.
I was just portraying his general attitude. But for a more extensive example:

Let's say I'm responsible for the money of a few of my friends. I keep the money stored in my house, in a safe. I always make sure to lock the door when I leave home, to protect my own property and the property of others that I am responsible for. However, one day when I leave home, I do remember to lock the door, but the lock somehow breaks without me noticing it. Someone else (like kokjo) notices the unlocked door, and tells everyone in town about this "security flaw", to protect the friends whose money I am responsible for.

However, by doing so, he is exposing their money to a security risk. If he hadn't told the whole town about the security flaw, no one might ever have known about my broken lock. If he had instead chosen to tell only me, so I could fix the lock, or tell me and the friends who store money in my house, the money would be much safer AND the problem would be solved.

maybe you should just lock your door.
Yes, of course. But everyone makes mistakes once in a while, and this is especially true when it comes to software.

Who benefits from you informing everyone in town about my unlocked door, aside from burglars?

"Hey, I just told everyone in town you left your door unlocked instead of just telling you so you could lock it. But I did the right thing, you should be glad I didn't break into your house and steal your stuff."

Great thing. Hopefully not a scam...  Grin

When will payout be available?
Most likely not a scam, considering it's run by bitcat.ch
176  Economy / Gambling / Re: Free Lottery on: August 03, 2011, 12:59:31 AM
Make sure you don't have NoScript or something activated.
177  Economy / Gambling / Re: New BTC-Randomizer (Bitcat.ch Randomizer) on: August 03, 2011, 12:57:16 AM
And I'll send 0.2 bitcoins to anyone using mine: http://rand.bitcat.ch/?ref=18  Wink

Nice. Only two referrals to get back your investment, or four random payments.
179  Economy / Lending / Re: I need a loan. on: August 02, 2011, 05:10:32 AM
IBB has been granting a lot of loans lately, so it wouldn't surprise me. You'd have to wait until some of them get paid back.
180  Economy / Lending / Re: Need a loan on: August 01, 2011, 10:45:47 PM
My apologies for not returning your PM. Frankly I felt hoodwinked at best and was trying to keep my emotions under control.

You loan someone money to "pay his bills" but do not loan towards mining equipment. I do not understand your business model at all. I wish you well.
If you're referring to me, I can explain the difference to you. The main difference is that I am 100% certain that I will be getting around $2200 between the 22nd and 26th of August, while I assume (correct me if I am wrong) you were relying on the income from mining to pay the loan back.
