Looks like were going in circles...
So you are attacking USD for being backed by nothing at all (and now I'm thinking you want it to be backed by gold), but support Bitcoin which is also backed by nothing... That's where you lose me. Your given reason for disliking fiat can be also applied to Bitcoin. Back OT, I support Bitcoin because I think it will kill Paypal. This is a much shorter term and much more realistic goal than ending world fiat, and it will probably fly better in the geek subforum as well. Hold on, there is a huge difference between fiat and bitcoin Governments can print as much fiat they want and inflationate it like hell Bitcoin is limited to 21million maximum bitcoins, and no more. No inflation. No governments printing money as they wish. I didn't say there were no differences... I was saying his argument against a currency not being backed by anything was simplistic and wrong. |

If I where to buy one share how much is one dividend?
And how often do you pay them out?
I pay out every Tuesday evening (Thai time) and you would get 1/1500th times 49.75% of what we mined that week. I get 5% for managing things and 50% goes into savings. Uh... 49.75% + 5% + 50% is not 100% |

Is there any way to add public keys to a watching-only wallet?
I want to monitor some addresses on a web wallet from inside Armory. For now, I imported the private key, turned the wallet into a watching-only wallet, and then flagged it as owned by someone else. This works fine for now, but is a bit too many steps and a pain to do again if I add more keys.
That only works if change gets sent back to your original address instead of a new address, otherwise the public key will show less money than is actually in the wallet. And there's no surer way of scaring people than telling them they have less money than they thought they did: "Okay, so I'll send 0.5BTC and... wait, why'd my balance just go down by 20BTC? I only sent 0.5BTC!! Didn't I? FFFFUUUUUU!!!" My web wallet is blockchain.info. They allow you to send change back to any address so this is not a problem. |

You should try posting this stuff on bitmit. You can post things there as auction or with a fixed price, and you can fix the prices to USD if you want to. |

yes sorry cgminer, and no the hash rate is now lower
Is cgminer setting your clocks? Posting logs and your config would be helpful. |

I wish people would stop calling bitcoin an investment.
While it can be used as an investment and people have invested a lot of money into it, that is not at all the main point and Bitcoin cannot succeed if this is people's main use for it.
If you want bitcoin to succeed, use it as a currency.

Is it possible the "receiving wallet addresses"-process overwrites locally generated addresses that haven't been synced up to the server somehow?
The app needs to be online when generating a new address. If you receive an "error saving wallet" and the logout button turns red then the changes you have made maybe lost after restart.  I'm colorblind and have a hard time with red/green buttons. Any chance you could do blue/red? Or maybe make the green brighter? |

Hey Guys,
Trying to get CGI miner to work, Looks like everything is set up and running, however I noticed that the load it usually around 70-80%. Before I switched to CGI, my load on my GPU would always be 99%. Any ideas?
Do you mean cgminer? Is your hashrate the same? |

Well this isn't the 'Building on OSX' thread I expected, but I suppose this is still on topic. I don't think that electrum works like you think it does. Last I checked electrum feeds off of full nodes with a special server interface, but isn't tied to any one server nor requires owning one. Oh sorry. I misread. I thought you meant you either wanted to use electrum instead of bitcoin for getting the blockchain, and then still use Armory or wanted to run an electrum server which also requires bitcoind. Those didn't make any sense, but you were saying that want to use the Electrum client. That would work (assuming you can get it compiled  ) Nifty. Is there anything in particular that I might have trouble compiling/updating? For example could I compile and run GNOME3.x on this box, or is that asking too much? Well that is a link to xubuntu which uses XFCE instead of gnome. I gave you that link to xubuntu rather than ubuntu 10.04 (which uses GNOME2 IIRC) because XFCE has lower system requirements, but still looks nice. Compiling Armory in xubuntu 10.04 should be easy. It's new enough to have all the libraries you will need and there is a PPC build. There's even a PPA to install bitcoind and/or bitcoin-qt. Hopefully those work with the unofficial build. Otherwise, bitcoind isn't too bad too build from source. Not too worried about it, although I'm not sure what dependencies bitcoind has. Except for Qt (which tries to use newer cocoa bindings) I haven't actually had much trouble compiling things on this machine, and on linux I should probably be able to compile Qt easily enough  . For ~800MB it really doesn't look bad at all. Well you won't need to build bitcoin-qt, just bitcoind. Try installing the PPA and then 'sudo apt-get install bitcoind' That's what I did in my VirtualBox VM and it seems to work fine (Although DO NOT import that wallet since it will use 0.6's compressed keys which aren't supported by Armory's import yet). If that fails, then the steps to compile (without UPNP) from source are pretty simple. sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y git-core build-essential libssl-dev libboost-all-dev libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev libgtk2.0-dev
git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git ~/src/bitcoin
cd ~/src/bitcoin/src
make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=
Good luck! |

how do you update your p2pool folder using git? I thought you could use the "pull" command but that gives an error...
What error? |

When I click "receive bitcoins" a dialog pops up asking "send from wallet...".
I'm trying to receive, not send.
You have to tell it what wallet you want to receive the funds into. EDIT: Oh. I misread that the first time. Are you trying to say that the dialog should read "receive to wallet..." or something like that? |

I was just in the "Geek" section of this forum and I decided to throw out Bitcoin and i got alot of mixed responses, Makes me wonder how to make people listen... it seems people are really happy with worshiping their green dollars that has absolutely no backing at all...
Money is backed by the economy it is used in. Bitcoin is backed by the Bitcoin Economy. USD is backed by the American economy. Neither of these economies are "absolutely nothing." Also, the American economy is currently WAY LARGER than the bitcoin economy. Money doesn't need gold or some other arbitrary physical item to back it. That is a fallacy that people need to move past. Are you sure because I'm almost positive that USD was originally notes for gold back in the day. I could be wrong of course. "was originally" Not anymore. |
