I keep having problems communicating with bitcoin RPC via poclbm (not sure how to use pheonix) can someone give me a hand on this? Also, what does the flag -f# does? Higher number gives higher priority? or what?
I agree that this guide has gotta be re-written. Theres too much errors on it, especially on the x86 parts.
Just one more thing, I've never really experienced with clocking stuff, so I need some brief explaination to
1. Underclocking Memory
2. Undervolting - ??
-f increases frames every second or something like that. Increase it if you want less desktop lag. People usually use -f 1 for pure mining rigs. 1. Well if you are in linux, there's no real solution right now except for changing the bios, and you have to use Windows for that. Guide : http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=9569.02. Same thing with overvolting, I think.. Basically, any big under/overclocking has to go through a bios change for linux. Depending what card you have, there will be limits of how much core and memory can go. Asus is the best, can go up to 1000core i think. (5850's) However, underclocking/volting is harder because all the cards have a high lower bound. You are wrong about 1). The memory can be underclocked in linux without modifying the bios. Read the forum threads titled the same. Yes but not much. If you are going to underclock to the "sweet spot" to raise hashing, you have to modify bios. Lowering the memory just to the lower bound isn't going to do anything. Wrong again. In linux you can lower the mem. clock of 5970 to 300 without altering the bios ... read the forum threads titled the same. (I do it all the time.) |

Just turn them on to bitcoins ... $8, $0.8, $0.08, $80 ... who cares what the exchange rate is? It is a decimal point and you are on a computer, it doesn't matter what the exchange rate is, only that it CAN be exchanged ... and what is this "mining chaos" you are obsessing about,  Humboldt County then eh? nice countryside. |

http://www.freshbooks.com/wonder if these guys will start catering for bitcoin currency invoicing? Already do Paypal, Canuck bucks, and others.

and the abnormal ramp on hash-power before the last difficulty rise coincidence?
Is it possible some well-organised entity is probing bitcoin network for weaknesses ... the mining pool attacks are most definitely co-ordinated.
Gathering network intel before speaking with lead developer?

I would say that using bitcoins as savings vehicle is a fine idea and an encouraging attitude coming from a young fella.
They have some nice properties built in for this purpose but be prudent around securing your bitcoin savings.

mtgox
dwolla
I think it is probably better if we direct him towards nanaimo-gold for the full bitcoin customer experience. |

I don't know what I'm getting more tired of reading about, that Bitcoins can be used for illegal activity or that they can be used to buy alpaca socks.   yeah, do they come with an embroided bitcoin logo? |

You can try linking your bank account to dwolla and deposit to mt gox from there. https://www.dwolla.com/default.aspx
Mt Gox also has a chase bank account and if you try Keefe on #bitcoin-otc he will also help you. How do you deposit using this account? I assume you send him an email. Paxum is another easy way to get money into mt gox. MtGox, not Keefe (unless they are the same person). Seriously, I felt much like the guy who started this thread did initially. You need to treat his feedback respectfully as it will help you tailor your products better for the end user. IT guys are often rude because they can get away with it- demand for their services is greater than supply. Businessmen (you know, your bosses) don't have that luxury. The customer is always right. The consumer is king in the free market. When was the last time you showed up looking to buy a financial asset and said to those using it "How do I buy this piece of shit?" The technology is great. it's the implementation that concerns us. You need to seriously grow up and quit getting your wittle feewings hurt. Guys like this are our future. They can make us wealthy if we learn to cooperate. Guys like this doofus are definitely not "our future". He thinks he intelligent and IT savvy and got his "wittle feelings" handed to him on a plate, it sounds like ... has he posted again? he was probably just a troll anyway. The implementation is at exactly the level you would expect for a beta open source project, your concern is touching. Put up or shut on that front is all I can say. File a bug report; "The implementation concerns us" we'll get back to you. |

It's an economic reality that most women are not prostitutes. Try telling that to the large proportion of men that have been through the divorce courts. "I've never paid for sex but that marriage bankrupted me!" Crackpot theories aside there is a kernel of truth but it is too easy to poke fun at the fairer sex and get a rise .... we'll agree that bitcoin, for now is a men's toy, and women will get it when they need it. |

minute_of_angle: how do your crackpot theories account for people that are not heterosexual? what about families with two breadwinners or a female breadwinner?
They are stressful and dysfunctional because of the fundamental conflict with the instinctive emotions surrounding "breadwinning" ... but all situations can be worked around with therapy or prayer, lying to oneself and other compromises I suppose. I just chop wood and tell it like I see it. (You do not want to go into this, trust me.) |

Let's not be naive. Politicians are just the hired help. As are/will be many "geeks" (the new warriors?). Unless/until the new bitcoin paradigm reaches critical mass, the old paradigm in which the Powers That Be can `create` as much `money` as they choose, in control of an `asleep at the wheel` populace, has them in the driver`s seat. They can buy the regulation or shutdown of whatever they choose. What are you going to do about it? We get the geeks and techies to want to be paid in bitcoin ... then anybody working for the man will have an incentive to defect or sabotage the anti-bitcoin faction from the inside. It's the army that is paid in gold that wins. Bitcoin is the techie gold ... tech. adoption of bitcoin is essential for the coming battle. Spreading bitcoin to techies is the most crucial audience at this point ... it sells itself on this one mostly. |

Yes, there are prostitues and trophy wives. I never denied this.
I hope you're aware that the majority of female consumers women aren't prostitues or trophy wives. That is also a reality.
Bitcoin is money. It will be used for all of the same things money is used for. That means it will be used to exchange sex for money. It also means it will be used for other things. Okay?
Okay. Trophy wives and prostitutes are symptomatic outliers of the basic female condition, that most women spend most of their lives living in denial about, they are instinctively drawn to good providers, and in the abstract that represents money. The feminist revolution expects to be able to gloss over the home truths on the female set of basic instincts, whilst denigrating males and their basic instincts. You think 50 years of denigrating males is going to come without some kind of backlash? Welcome to the front lines ladies. Generally, women will come to value a glossed up BitCoin emasculated "product" AFTER men come to value bitcoin the money tool, it was never going to be the other way around ... it's just how we are. |

If nothing else bitcoin will flush out the crypto-facists currently inside/behind the halls of power.
They will have no choice but to make themselves and their evil intentions known in order to fight it.

I was being kind ... now you've asked for the truth ... you think you can handle the truth?
Bitcoin sells itself ... doesn't need any spin because it is just the facts that it works.
Whoring is the oldest profession known to man. Money for sex.
Woman, by and large, prefer good providers, the science on that is incontrovertible and probably massively over-studied too.
Everyone's got to accept reality eventually. Sorry that I had to be the one.

Then they start lending it, more than what is deposited, then fractional reserve starts and then inflation follows, then interest rates on Bitcoins need to be regulated by a Central authority, and Bitcoins follows the same route as gold has - becomes a fractional backup for lots of paper of more value issued.
Maybe. It was more of an idle musing than saying "this is a good thing" ... if bitcoin infects the banking system in any way shape or form it can only be bad for the fiat, fractional reserve model I think ... it will be like a trojan attack. They hate gold enough as it is, but this would be like gold 'n silver in the vampire's veins rather than the solid physical lump anchoring them down. Electronic money is how things spun so out-of-control in the fiat money factory in the past 2 decades. Electronic gold will be a death sentence. |

Can't happen. I've yet to hear politician speak that actually understands how the internet, or even their own PC works at the basic level.
They have no chance controlling something they do not understand. Perhaps if there was a geek politician they might have a chance ... but when did you last see a geek politician?, they are all lawyers, accountants, PR spin types or teachers ... tech. beats power-parasites, always has, always will ... the H-bomb was not built by politicians.

If you don't see this, RobertFawcett, I'm afraid it's you who has few things to learn. You may be different, and it was not an attack - just a mere observation
If I don't see what, exactly? Do you honestly think women will be more interested in using Bitcoin to judge male social status, than they will be interested in, say... buying and selling stuff? I'm not denying that women do not like to take risks, women are less likely to invest in anything, and women are a lot less likely to adopt new technology. That's not what my gripe is, my gripe is with the stupid reasoning people come up with to explain why there aren't a lot of women using Bitcoins yet. If this was a mere observation, you would have something other than lame stereotypes to back it up. Statistics or something. Trophy Wives. It's the digit in the accounts that matter ... the TW don't know about bitcoin digit accounts .... yet. |
