What are you going to do with a public key? To do anything meaningful you need the private key ...

Heh, yeah, that is the obvious answer. Bitcoins are great, the others are all pure speculation.

I was just thinking the same thing, there is BitMit which is built for doing auctions.

I think part of it is people like to have the reduced anonymity of the forum as a partial system of trust, or something like that.

What? why change it? You can still check to see how many posts people have, and the number of posts is the number of places their signature shows up, so it makes sense that is what you would be paying for, right?

Difficulty is changed based on the number of blocks. When the block number is hit, the new difficulty is changed. So yes, if the network rate doubles the new retarget happens in only half the time.

Maybe you should talk to the people you were actually interacting with, rather than shouting in a internet forum they probably are not reading?

You profits are getting low because other people are increasing their bitcoin mining and getting the bitcoins before you do.

Also, your title is obnoxious, on this forum we generally discourage using superfluous characters in the title.

Take a look at ripples too. There are some very heated debates about whether they even count in the same context, but clearly some people are trying to use them as an investment.

It is a crapcoin and nobody ever used it. There was just the creator and a bunch of his alts/sockpuppets promoting this, it has been abandoned and nobody cares but you.

just looked at gunbroker, it looks like most of the bids are in the 250-400 range, but maybe I am just reading it wrong?

Actually I would prefer to have the factory 10 round fixed mag, less likely to run into problems with "assault weapon bans" that way.

I saw one a couple years ago for 1.2 btc (in today's exchange rate), kinda kicking myself for not buying it then. I guess I was thinking if I could get something for near 2.5 btc would be a good deal, but I wold consider offers above that.

Such thing as google? mpex.co

Oooo, I think you might have just opened up the floodgates ....

And honey is easily converted into Mead. Yum, yum!

I might take you up on some of this, have to check with the miss.

Anybody have an SKS lying around? I would prefer a Russian or Yugo, but Chinese could work too.

I would prefer a working model, but with a decent discount I could take something less than functional.

I made some Mead at home, and I used some fresh Michigan apple cider to make a batch of hard cider, both were very yummy. The process takes a few weeks but is overall very easy to do.

Back in 2011 there was a massive problem with people making new accounts to spam the forum and using multiple accounts to run scams or just scam people and start a new account and scam again. So the forum administrators created the newbie forum, it has helped to some degree but you still need to watch out for scammers.


I think that information is in the sticky at the top of the the board, 5 posts and 4 hours of activity.

Don't know if anybody has said it yet, but there is the whitelist request thread, that is a simple way to get around the 5 post limit.

Lol - But after that it looks pretty rough. 

This is bitcoin ... there should be a way to pay for a DDoS against them ...
