I am right outside philly and turning mine off as well. I believe he meant to say "tarp" not "tap".

Oh!

Even though I was sure it was a typo, I still wasn't sure what he meant... I thought perhaps he was taping the seals around the windows.

Well, I tried that link just now and it redirects to a Romanian blog site on a .ro domain.

EDIT: For example, It could be that the G-prefix should be interpreted to mean further protocol parameters required where 'ga' is one such parameter.

Yeah, or an X for eXtended info. Has X been used on some project yet?

BitCon == Bitcoin Confidence Trick?

I'm moving my miners away from windows and covering them with a tap.

Like, a faucet? Huh

Good luck with whatever it is you're trying to achieve.

If anyone cares about their privacy they'll put their old unwanted storage devices through a shredder.

Hard drives, cell phones, thumbdrives, gps units, in fact anything that contains flash memory should be turned into milkshake once you're finished with it.

That's ridiculous. Since it's not magnetic media, a good full null format will do the job.

Null format 100% of a thumbdrive? How is that done exactly, making sure you nuke all the reserve areas?

And how would you null format all the flash inside a phone or gps unit?

I thought it wouldn't let you send twice to the same address?  I thought there was always a big warning "Do not send anything but this amount to this address," blah blah blah...  maybe I'm remembering a different BTC service though.
That would be TradeHill. Mtgox will give you a bitcoin address you can use once or use forever to send any amount to your account.

That also describes Tradehill since more than a month ago at least. (Your permanent deposit address is shown in your profile page).

Repeat.

Repeat until around August 2012 when the upcoming reward drop to 25 btc will start feeling more real.

Go create a new forum for advertising bitcoinduit games if you want.

No need to create yet another forum... alternate fora seem to be popping up all the time anyway.

so we call any old meetup an expo now as long as the idea is to talk about bitcoin a bit?

An exposition definitely should have merchant booths.

Were there counterfeit Bitcoins on the live Bitcoin network? No. Were "phony" Bitcoins sold to crash the price? Technically, yes.

Actually, no. No "phony" Bitcoins were sold in any way. REAL coins were sold, but from a hacked account. Big difference. One could say the sale was phony, but not the coins.

That's not what I read. I read what elggawf suggests, that the hacker simply added a row to the mtgox database that says "me, +1,000,000 BTC" and then started selling them. Phony within mtgox's database, but no counterfeit coins on the network.

Citation for that?

Everything that I read about the mtgox thing said that it was a readonly attack.  They got a copy of the database table with the hashed passwords, and started cracking them until they had an account with a large balance.

I can cite https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/History although that page itself has no citation.

Someone was able to access an admin account* at MtGox and issue sell orders for hundreds of thousands of fake bitcoins

*not just a regular user account.

Well, your site looks really good... I do hope it's all legit and I wish you good luck with it.

Will try a small deposit...

how do you force it not to force you to send the transaction fee?
With the official client you can't

With older versions you can but then you run the risk of it never getting included in a block.

I have so many ideas...  Grin

Likewise, I feel like listing many things... here's one more:

A 'dig-dug' clone where instead of searching for diamonds/rubies, etc you pay a certain amount to play and then search for bitcoins which you can then actually withdraw.
