8041  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: What Is Your Favorite ATI Overclocking Software In Ubuntu? on: May 02, 2011, 06:52:57 AM

$aticonfig --adapter=0 --od-setclocks=770,1126

check out ...

$aticonfig --help

GUI based tools should be treated with caution when you are thrashing the GPUs as hard as you can under linux using a miner

Thanks for that moa!

And the --adapter value is the same as the "d" value for poclbm?

No, aticonfig use 0,1,2,...
and poclbm uses 1,2,3, ...

Just give it a

$aticonfig --list-adapters

or

$aticonfig --lsa

and it will list the adapters that the fglrx (the graphics driver) has intialised and aticonfig is 'seeing'.

Gold almost demonetized in the mid 1990's dropping to below production cost ... at US$256 ... the remonetization of gold and silver in the last 10 years has been the financial story of the last 30 years. The MSM has missed the rise until recently and completely missed the fiat currency crises of confidence driving the rises.

The market is on the hunt for better money, with oppressive financial regulations, effective capital controls and rapacious govt.s stymying global commerce in a futile effort to protect their discredited fiat currencies and central banking failed models from the free market for money which has marked them down hugely.

A proven, digital currency that has all or many of the requisite properties to qualify as sound money could be monetised very rapidly in the current global currency market environment. Gold and silver will not be immune from such a competitor, although less so than the fiat currencies imo.

Hmmm, thanks for thinking this through 's'.

I haven't open/close browser tab or window or done anything that would have changed the cookies. All I did was send, and thus empty the initially assigned wallet address.

I back-paged to the one containing the initial wallet address and it has the same assigned token in the http:// field as the new one.

Edit:  further test, i deleted the cookie folder associated with instawallet and then launched another tab with the provided http link with personal token and it brings me back to correct (new) wallet address. Something else changed the wallet address after I performed the send from function, what was it?
8047  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: New, simple online wallet: www.instawallet.org - no signup required on: May 02, 2011, 04:11:18 AM

How does the address allocation work for this?

I sent 0.02 btc to the generated address at instawallet, works okay.

Then I sent those 0.02 btc back to another bitcoin client. When I return to instawallet page a new receiving address has been generated, why does it do that?

What happens if I now receive a payment at the old address that I was allocated first, who has control of that?

Looks like the whole "terrorist" ruse for patriot act must have been getting threadbare .... Osama Bin Laden's body has been dragged out of a morgue somewhere with much fanfare and imagery of the Sept. 11 spectacle to re-sear into the minds of the tax-slaves and keep them distracted from the financial criminals that are free to run amok, raping and pillaging ...

Edit: basically the CIA's most famous rogue agent has just been neutralised by the CIA

A corporation is something that gives pleasure to people through means of a tangible item.
Why do people do corporations? Its because of that pleasure that each corporation gives to an individual which compels them to use it.
Corporations give a relative "high", a feeling of absolute bliss and without care in the world. For this very reason though the
nature of corporations in relation to the human psyche is addictive. A person is inclined to abuse corporations because at a first look the risks vs reward
is very much in favor of the reward. A consequence of this is that a human will become growingly reliant on corporations.

Quote
(1) the term “unlicensed money transmitting business” means a money transmitting business which affects interstate or foreign commerce in any manner or degree and—
(A) is operated without an appropriate money transmitting license in a State where such operation is punishable as a misdemeanor or a felony under State law, whether or not the defendant knew that the operation was required to be licensed or that the operation was so punishable;
(B) fails to comply with the money transmitting business registration requirements under section 5330 of title 31, United States Code, or regulations prescribed under such section; or
(C) otherwise involves the transportation or transmission of funds that are known to the defendant to have been derived from a criminal offense or are intended to be used to promote or support unlawful activity;
(2) the term “money transmitting” includes transferring funds on behalf of the public by any and all means including but not limited to transfers within this country or to locations abroad by wire, check, draft, facsimile, or courier; and
(3) the term “State” means any State of the United States, the District of Columbia, the Northern Mariana Islands, and any commonwealth, territory, or possession of the United States.

So a Bitcoin miner would qualify, then.



I disagree. The bitcoin mining is legal since they are dealing/transacting purely in bitcoins, an unregulated virtual commodity. Maybe the only part of the network, other than local bitcoin clients and wallets, that is currently indisputably legal.

The exchanges that exchange from fiat currencies into bitcoin are the gray area since they transact in the money of the state.

Personal transactions of small amounts of bitcoin involving state monies are legal in most places.

Merchants accepting bitcoin would do well to check their current, ever-changing laws regarding financial transactions, if they care what the state thinks about how they conduct their business.

Actually, having things like psychoactive drugs and gambling on the wiki is a good reverse psychology ploy.

Any serious govt. enforcer shows up for a browse around, can't understand how the heck bitcoins function anyhow .... looks at wiki and thinks, ".... god-damn amateur hour, nothing to worry about here ..."

then goes onto to wondering how to infiltrate sicilian or russian mafia

.... longer we are under the radar the better, it is not corporate adoption we need to worry about, it is political .... keep it amateur looking and chaotic for as long as possible.

The "we need a corporate face" pushers can go and create there own slick BS wiki somewhere else for the banksters absconding from their current crappy mess.

and how does this make us money?

im sorry no serious goverment enforcer will look at wiki and be like
"OH GOOD THERE ARE DRUGS HERE NOW WE CAN INFILTRATE MAFIAS THAT WE COULDN'T HAVE BEFORE"

it seems like you are anti-corporate without just reason.

I think you missed the point, it was that they would discount bitcoin as serious threat and go on to something else, not that they would think about how to use it ...

And while we are "at it", would you like to prove to me that corporations have done less net harm in total than psychoactive drugs?

Just seems that if bitcoiners want to censor one perceived evil (drugs) in favour of another perceived good (corporate image) then first you would want to prove those goods and evils exist objectively?

I won't bet against that one ... I will post it though, thanks again.
8058  Economy / Gambling / Re: Bitcoin Poker Room on: May 01, 2011, 11:05:24 PM
Good work hippich and anisoptera, bitcoin poker has good potential imo ... limited downside due to it being legal in many countries.

It is great example of how bitcoin community can make s/ware (web) projects happen very quickly because there is huge surplus of competent coding potential from all over the globe, just sitting out there watching bitcoin marketplace and etc for work to come up paying in BTC. Some good entrepreneurs/managers to organise the work and run businesses will do well.

Any future plans on implementing some BlackJack tables? .... I might have a dabble at that Wink
8059  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin & the Banks on: May 01, 2011, 10:47:05 PM
The main way banks make money is not via "fees", it's through their *monopoly on the creation of money*. When you sign a loan, they create the money from nothing, and then *charge you interest on it*.

One of the reasons the British were hopping mad at their American colonies was that the colonies started to use their own currency. This meant no need for loans (in British pounds), hence no interest! Moreover, no transaction fees either...not using British Banks or pounds as an intermediary for exchange of goods.

Bitcoin is therefore like sunlight to money sucking vampire banks...it sidesteps them and their whole model completely. If bitcoin takes off, I predict governments (read banks) are gonna start pulling all sort of BS out of their **sses to regulate the hell out of it.

You got it ... it's gonna be crap fight for the ages ... we haven't had a good upstart money to rival the banksters monopoly since the American Revolution ... I'm serious, this is gonna a be big battle, choose sides carefully, history is not kind to losers.

Fiduciary.

That's the word I was looking for, had forgotten that one.

That's what bitcoin is, it is a fiduciary currency. Thanks gareth69, nice post, good clarity of thought on the political situation surrounding bitcoin. Time for ethical lawyers and law-makers to stand up and not get co-opted by the oligarchs. The technologists have supplied bitcoin, look after it.
