Maaaaaaaaarrrttyyyyyy?
I've just cut my hashrate at projectx by 70%, I was getting a reject rate somewhere around 12% for the shares I was submitting here over the past half hour or so. Will be monitoring the situation with a couple of gigahash until things improve enough for me to bring some more hashing back.
it was another pool, that was super slow. BTW, I fixed the payouts. I was almost paid out all of the 25th and I figured that 35btc for 30ghs was not right. First, the 25-29 all had the 29 as the end of work for each day. So, after I paid 2-3x in one day, I redid the formulas. No estimations and the data is accurate. Also, I will keep the rate for as long as i can. Cool, I want to start pointing workers your way again, it's just difficult for me to point the amount of hashing I was sending to projectX when I can't even tell how much I'm owed and I have no timeline on getting paid. I'll point 6Ghash/s or so your way in the morning, the rest will come back when things are a bit less crazy. |

Hey guys, I am in need of BitCoins for personal reasons, and I would like to buy some via PayPal. I am looking for a trusted buyer with whom I can exchange Canadian Dollars for BitCoins. If anyone is able to help me out, please post below or send me a private message,
Thanks.
It's okay, you can talk about the silk road here... |

Out of curiosity, do any of the server ops here actually get considerable hashrate from this? I remember back when I ran one for a bit it was a cause of great excitement to see my node running 2Ghash/s  |

Did anyone notice that intersango, the second most successful criminally incompetent boobs in the history of bitcoin is still printed on the face of the tickets as a sponsoring supporter?
The fact that Patrick Strateman is still a guest speaker at the conference speaks volumes about the extent to which it's a personal, pet project. They should invite Trendon Shavers to give a presentation, just for good measure.It's disingenuous to promote the event to potential sponsors using the "700 people" line, too. There's little reason to believe that another 500 people are going to buy tickets in the next 11 days. Might as well, they should invite Zhou Tong and the guy that ran Mybitcoin too, get the whole scammer contingent together. |

Mother of god I do love the ignore feature. This thread is so much less irritating than it was a few hours ago.

Just wanna mention CoinLab pool here. They have an interesting offer, basically giving you some extra profit after GPU mining becoming useless. Mine there for say 3 months before difficulty rise and get extra 3 months profit after. More details at their page: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=99643.msg1089915. They even talk about using (and you get paid for) your GPU outside bitcoin mining. Until then they are basically a PPS 5%-2% pool like any other, so far I am (...almost) satisfied with it. PS: I just mine there, I am not their employee or anything. If it's anything, it's still possible to earn substantially more elsewhere for the moment. For example, I'm still buying hashing power at 105%+ PPS. I'll be really interested to see what they come up with though, If they can work out a way to do it and the prices aren't bad I'd buy GPU time for CFD crunching  Unfortunately for something like that the amount of info that'd have to be streamed to the miners would make it very bandwidth-intensive, so I don't really see what they can do with it right now. |

OH MY GOD GUYS! PIRATE JUST PAID OUT!

Ok, group effort, no more comments to Rarity. She died. Go.
Kay. So, what are you doing with deposits? I understand you have your designs business but you don't need deposits for that, so what are you doing with them currently? |

Can you ship one of these to the UK? How much for that?

Not bad! I'm holding a few of your shares, 2.3% per week for a scheme that's not an elaborate ponzi is pretty good! By the by, what do you think of this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=79637.msg1157524#msg1157524Could be worth acquiring one or two to reduce your exposure to rising difficulty post-ASIC? @ $1069 each a 205BTC share issue would get two of them pre-ordered, 263Mhash/s per BTC looks pretty nice from here  |

Someone mentioned Tom Cruise? What I can't stand are organisations who take advantage of addiction sufferers - organisations like Scientology. Yup, somehow an organisation that kills (Lisa McPherson, look it up, there are others), and poses as a religion whilst taking hundreds of millions of dollars from people isn't really in the position where they should be preaching morality. Not to mention that they're fucking creepy, ever seen some of the stuff they do? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXBeXVbHh2g |

I once got scammed by someone named "manipulator". Taught me my lesson back then to not get scammed by this pirate douchebag.
+1 same here; I got scammed by a shady named shades minoco (Andrew Nollan - shakaru), that $200 has left a sour taste in my mouth. but then again my nickname doesn't look too good either  I nearly bought a 2Ghash/s mining contract from that rampant twatsicle. Very glad I stayed away... If the FBI considers this an illegal money laundering operation they will just seize any coins under proceeds of crime legislation.
How does one seize a wallet inside a true crypt hidden volume? Or a brain wallet? How does one seize a wallet inside a True Crypt file? Imprison the suspect until he or she tells them the password. Authorities will of course ask for the hidden volume password too (they've not stupid), so the suspect had better be prepared to hand it over too. I hope they have a hidden volume, as if they don't they can't prove a negative. What if the suspect refuses? Hold the suspect in detention until they agree. Withholding passwords to encrypted information is a criminal offense in some countries (like England). Brain wallet? Maybe if the user can memorise the entire wallet.dat. They really don't even have to do that. In many fraud cases, sentences are reduced if the criminal cooperates and returns funds. If he's convicted, lock him up for 10 years, or 5 if he returns the money. So, what you're saying is, for years 6-10, he's earning ~$1mil per year? IF it turns out to be a ponzi he will have a lot less than 5 million left. That is just how ponzis work. Will he? Do we actually know how much he took in? I'd wager it was over 500k. ^Can't someone use this info to sue him directly in Texas? |

No he did; in IRC at the time of closing. Now he may have been full of shit but all the guesstimates and theories were based on that.
I missed that then. Then again, it seems entirely plausible Pirate would refer to the number of coins in his wallet(s) instead of the principals + fictional accumulated interest. yup. He was talking about how much he got away with. That bad boy: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=94675.0 had 500k ish BTC in it, the wallet was built over the course of 2012. Best fit numbers for this scam: 1,000,000 BTC on paper ~700k BTC collected ~200k BTC paid out in interest over this year, most of it last 3-6 weeks ~500k BTC left when he now owes ~70k/wk BTC on paper, some will take only interest out, most leave it in, but then with the interest takers + a few principal withdraws, the writing was on the wall for Pirate that he'd be broke in just a few short weeks of interest + withdraws, so just stop now with 500k+ BTC. This makes no sense... I thought it was already confirmed that the big account belonged to silk road. It makes perfect sense. How? Why would the silk road: 1-Make 80k in withdrawals coinciding with pirate's attempt to "manipulate the market" with big selloffs when the price hit $9? 2-Suddenly decide to start emptying the address and laundering the coins as soon as BS&T collapsed? |

You're right in thinking that Bitcoin's market penetration is currently fairly poor - There is, however, a lot of room for expansion - I know of no other payment method online with such low fees, or that is irreversible (could be extremely handy for the likes of ebay sellers and other online retailers who suffer chargebacks regularly). On top of this it seems to be the perfect currency for online gambling - it allows poker sites to pick up US customers, for example.

it seems many bitcoin gurus are very Wall St oriented You'd be surprised - there's more of a "geek culture" here than a "trader culture" I'd say. As for FIX, no, it's really been implemented to my knowledge - it should be, but it's not There's actually a surprising amount of scope for arbitrage between the various bitcoin exchanges if you're well capitalised on all of them. In terms of the levels of cash on wall street it's barely even a rounding error, but hopefully things will advance a little with time |

Linking to illegal sites is forbidden. If you bypass this censorship, you will be banned.
 for reals?? this place just ain't what I thought Yup, we have standards here. Unlicensed securities trading and ponzi schemes are fine, linking to tor sites that major news sites have also linked with impunity = ban. |

C'mon James
enough with the show already man
you know damn well you are only doing this because of the past we have
He hates me and I hate him, we have never gotten along
If this were someone else you would not be doing this.
You have my official statement on the matter, and its not going to change. You posted your question and I gave you a response, if you continue to harass me I will report this to the staff
thank you.
Hi Tom, I certainly do not hate you. I'm sorry that you have room in your heart to hate me. If you would like to report my posts for asking you to back up your claims, be my guest. So, since you are unwilling to back up your claims with proof, you statements cannot be taken seriously. Peace & Love, gigavps c'mon, it's not like BFL have presented loads of evidence to back up their ASIC figures. |

Variance. Don't complain too hard though, I could do with a difficulty drop |

I know, I'm waiting on the ISP to get off their holiday. We will be up as soon as I can get them.
If you've been able to keep it up on 0% PPS for all this time, surely even a 1% fee would allow the site to move to better hosting? 1% of 800Ghash/s would cover a dedi server. Hell, 2% or 2.5% would still make you the lowest fee non-hopping PPS pool. |

Tom, please provide a video of the prototype working on a pool.
Thanks,
gigavps
Ditto, I'll buy 3 right now |
