People have been maintaining living standard despite falling (relative) wages by increasingly getting in to debt for almost a generation.  Most of this debt was mortage debt. This has kept the economy going for a while, but as you can imagine its not exactly a long term solution. As for other countries, this may interest you:  |

I'm glad you admit the article isn't entirely interesting but I did read it and the followup. It boils down to the claim that without customers, there would be no jobs. Which is true. But wait, without the sun, there would be no jobs either. Therefore the sun actually creates the jobs. All hail Apollo, the sun god!
We already have a sun, so thats not relevant. We already have companies making just about everything that people desire and that money can buy. What we dont have is customer demand for their products because the customers are broke. Its not rocket science. |

Why not  1P99tan9oX16aFgSaLWR8N8pZR4pndhxvx Thanks, and happy holiday! edit: looks like I received them already. Very nice of you |

Well, i see a 'maturation' of about 150 confirmations/day for every transaction in my history.
That means that to send a 0,05 BTC i need a maturation of 2592 confirmations/ 150conf/day = 18 DAYS
To send a 0,1 about 9 DAYS
To send a 0,5 about 2 days
To send 1 BTC about 0,9 days
To send 10+ BTC, almost immediately.
Assuming the above is accurate, you should add it to the wiki. Thats quite useful information. |

You have obviously never worked in IT or with the "1%" (snark). The more degrees they have the more incompetent.
This. If there is a correlation between wealth and basic computer skills, its probably the inverse of what the OP thinks. |

Radeonvolt does vrm temps on some cards: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=10228.0The GpuIO temps are not your ram temps btw, they are temps of the memory controller which is integrated in the GPU. Unless your heatsink is mounted incorrectly it should be close to , but usually lower than shader temps. Ram chips themselves are never monitored. |

I dont like where this is going...

I gave up on BTConTilt months ago. Always problems. My account kept disappearing, terrible lag issues and than a fat EXE client. No thanks. There is a good solution though: https://sealswithclubs.org/Zero issues so far. Instant deposit and almost instant withdrawl. Operator is almost always available and very helpful . Never had a single issue there. |

if I can replicate it this evening.
IIRC it went something like this
a) start cgminer using command line params (all valid).
b) cgminer runs & mines fine.
c) use save configuration to default file option.
c) open file and some params (not ones I explicitly set like voltage) are 0.00.
d) launch cgminer and it complains about file format. removing VDDC and other params fixes issue.
I can confirm this. I have the exact same thing. Only VDDC is "wrong" and set to zero. Trying to launch cgminer results in an error unless I fill out the VDCC values or remove those lines. |

Does anyone know a mining pool that shares the transaction fee along with the generation fee of 50 BTC?
The one in my sig among many others. No pool fees at all either. |

Short term, I agree. Long term, the bad speculators will go bankrupt.
If by bad you mean unlucky; yeah sure. |

I dont know the precise criteria, but a few days. 2 or 3 I think?

The most effective way to stabilize BTC price is speculation.
 And here I was, thinking that bitcoin constituted the absolute perfect proof that excessive speculation doesnt stabilize. It provides liquidity yes, and it helps assessing future value provided speculation is not bigger than actual trade. If speculation becomes more important than underlying trade, you dont speculate on future value but you speculate on short term speculation. Thats inherently unstable, as bitcoin so nicely illustrates. |

Its not possible. Transactions are confirmed by being included in the next block. Finding blocks is also known as mining. Mining isnt just for coin generation, in fact its mostly for confirming transactions (the coin generation is a temporay bonus to get things started and spread coins). You can try and find that block but your chances of finding it are proportional to your hashrate, which makes that chance +-zero. You can not just confirm your own transaction, for obvious reasons I would think.

Ah, excellent news. Cant wait to buy some cheap 58x0 cards from gamers upgrading to this. |

The error in the article is taxes have gone up. Federal, State, and local taxes now take up 42% of GDP. Before 1929 it was never higher than 5%. And things were so much better in 1929. This forced factories to move overseas, thus the jobs are created there, why we have high permanent unemployment. The solution end minimum wage and all business taxes. Quite the opposite. Corporate taxes have been going down since WW2 while labor tax has been rising. The result is the rich got richer but the economy is in shambles because consumers have no spending power.   |

Thank you for the offer btc_artist. However, perhaps I was hoping for an "up front offer" that could be paid at the end of the week. something simple.
Having said that, I will not discount your offer just yet.
Actually, now that I think about it, you probably don't need my offer anyway. You can just use your namecoin deposit address at one of the exchanges, and the namecoins you mine will automatically go to your exchange account. Just make sure your deposit address is permanent. 420. +1 Thats how I do it. My namecoins go straight from my pool to btc-e where I sell them for copious amount of btc *cough*. |

What Kokjo said. Just let those coins "mature" before transferring them.
As for generating coins with the client. Honestly, dont bother. If you have appropriate hardware (mid/high end AMD videocard), then feel free to try out mining with a more optimized client (for an easy one, check out my sig), but even then dont expect actual profits unless you also have very cheap electricity. CPU mining is pointless.

I don't have any theories about what happened to Iceland at this point. I don't know what happened.
So, when you watch a documentary that explains what happened there, you stop watching after 5 minutes because you dont like what its saying and assume it to be wrong despite not having a clue? As for "too much regulation" and "government intervention" mantra's; please, dont confuse them. Government intervention as in bail outs or other market distorting actions are bad. But a free market needs regulation, regulation is not evil its a dire necessity. Its not regulation that caused this crisis, if anything its a lack of good (and enforced) regulation. |
