Hmm, I wonder if it would be appropriate to have anything that is in the watchlist also show within "show new replies". (But not vice-versa, of course)
1162  Other / Meta / Re: Watchlist on: June 27, 2012, 01:57:27 AM
When you click "notify", it tells you whether it is already enabled or not. Could this work the same way?

It does; click "watch"and the link changes to "unwatch."
Heh, I didn't notice that. Perhaps it was changed within the past few minutes.

"Virtual World Services GmbH" is going to be rich as fuck pretty soon, if they aren't already. At least until PayPal boots them out.

Let's bet: How long until they are forced to cease operations that are even slightly Bitcoin related? I give them 4 months, tops.

Shaving ones head every 2 weeks is easier that shaving ones head every 2 months.  Grin
Strange, I experience the opposite phenomenon. I however never go lower than 1/2 inch or so, so perhaps that makes a difference. Low maintenance ftw.

And there we have it!  The question is, can you have threads be auto-watched when you reply to them?

That would be nice, but I don't know how to add new profile settings.
Roger that.

In the effort of keeping all of my watched threads in the same place, I guess I'll have to keep posting disguised "sub" posts.  Wink
There's nothing like an actual response that means nil for subbing. Grin
I noticed that this was your first reply to this thread.  You aren't subbing, or anything, are you?  Wink
Oh no, me? Never!
1169  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Adapt this checklist for Bitcoin on: June 27, 2012, 12:37:18 AM
OooOo, I can use this in the context of botnet owners:

Your post advocates a

( ) technical ( ) legislative ( ) market-based (X) vigilante

approach to fighting collectively managing Bitcoin. Your idea will not work. Here is why it won't work. (One or more of the following may apply to your particular idea, and it may have other flaws which used to vary from state to state before a bad federal law was passed.)

( ) Hackers can easily use it to harvest Bitcoins
( ) Bitcoin Wallets and other legitimate uses for Bitcoin would be affected
( ) No one will be able to find the guy or collect the money
( ) It is defenseless against the 51% attack
( ) It will slow down difficulty increase for only two weeks and then we'll be stuck with it
( ) Users of Bitcoin will not put up with it
( ) BFL will not put up with it
( ) The police will not put up with it
( ) Requires too much cooperation from the Bitcoin Network
( ) Requires immediate total cooperation from everybody at once
( ) Many Bitcoin users cannot afford to lose business or alienate potential exchange partners
(X) Hackers don't care about your feelings
( ) Anyone could anonymously purchase black market goods with Bitcoins

Specifically, your plan fails to account for

( ) Laws expressly prohibiting it
( ) Lack of centrally controlling authority for Bitcoins, like the U.S. Dollar
( ) Open trusted nodes to foreign governments
( ) Ease of searching the public transaction addresses removes your privacy
(X) Asshats
( ) Jurisdictional problems
( ) Unpopularity of forking the Bitcoin to solve your problem
( ) Public reluctance to accept weird new forms of money
( ) Huge existing software investment in GPU
( ) People are going to ASIC, get over it!
( ) Willingness of users to install any beta wallet client no matter who made it off even if its open source
( ) Armies of malware riddled broadband-connected GPU mining boxes
( ) Eternal ASCI arms race involved in all mining approaches
( ) Extreme profitability of deflation
( ) Extreme profitability of inflation
( ) Technically illiterate politicians
( ) Extreme stupidity on the part of people who do business with Bitcoin users and businesses
( ) Dishonesty on the part of Bitcoin users themselves
( ) Electricity costs that affect mining equipment profitability
( ) Linux

and the following philosophical objections may also apply:

( ) Ideas similar to yours are easy to come up with, yet none have ever
been shown practical
( ) Any scheme based on central issuing authority is unacceptable
( ) Blacklists suck
( ) Whitelists suck
( ) We should be able to talk about anything without being censored
( ) Countermeasures should not involve wire fraud or credit card fraud
( ) Countermeasures should not involve sabotage of public networks
( ) Countermeasures must work if phased in gradually
( ) Sending Bitcoins should be free
( ) Why should we have to trust you and your servers?
( ) Incompatiblity with open source or open source licenses
( ) Feel-good measures do nothing to solve the problem
( ) Temporary/one-time Bitcoin addresses are cumbersome
( ) I don't want the government knowing all my financial tranactions
(X) Killing them that way is not slow and painful enough

Furthermore, this is what I think about you:

( ) Sorry dude, but I don't think it would work.
( ) This is a stupid idea, and you're a stupid person for suggesting it.
(X) Nice try, assh0le! I'm going to find out where you live and burn your
house down!

True, Derringer style arms are great for CC. The Judge and the Governor are more suited to bedside-table duty or varmint blasting.
1172  Other / Meta / Re: Watchlist on: June 27, 2012, 12:22:38 AM
Not sure if this is a bug or I am just missing something.  Tried adding 2 posts to my watch list by clicking the watch button and then clicking ok on the pop up.  However, clicking the Watchlist under the new replies link on the top left shows no messages.
I'm assuming it only shows them if there are new posts that you haven't read yet.
1173  Other / Meta / Re: Watchlist on: June 27, 2012, 12:17:30 AM
Cool. One thing though, when you click "notify", it tells you whether it is already enabled or not. Could this work the same way?
Also, Auto-watch and a list of watches are important things that need to be used to avoid "sub" posts.
1174  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: 50-core Intel Xeon Phi of no use to us? on: June 27, 2012, 12:13:28 AM
Floating point is the thing we don't need for mining. Search the forum; there are about 2 other threads on this device. Estimates for hash rate are around 280mh/s, and it should be pretty good with litecoin.
1175  Economy / Goods / Re: Come in and Trade Ammo or Talk about Guns! on: June 27, 2012, 12:08:13 AM
You want a better brand? How about the S&W Governor? .410, .45 long colt and .45 ACP

Yes, and also fuck you for linking to goatse. Tongue
1177  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: ASIC as a 51% "weapon"... Mmmm... I don't think so... on: June 26, 2012, 08:44:27 PM
I too would like to hear this from those that claim to know, as far as I understand a 51% attack can rewrite the block to invalidate recent transaction, this means reversing the money that you sent to someone, but as the Bitcoin documentation clearly states (those who ever bothered to read it will know) you cannot create coins out of thin air and put them in your wallet.
As a side-effect of creating a longer chain in order to reverse transactions, you also can control the payout of the block reward in the blocks in that chain. Therefore, you get as many bitcoins as are in the longer fork until you stop mining on it.

You can invalidate (at your discretion) all transactions contained within all the blocks in the longer fork.
1178  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [ Bonus PPS Pool - 110% ] - Public Beta - WAITING LIST OPEN on: June 26, 2012, 08:09:21 PM
Looks like Clipse doesnt want you to outhop him  Tongue

Anyway;  for those miners that Clipse no longer wants, and those that dont mind truth and transparency, who dont want to be limited in how they can maximize mining profits between pool hopping and gpumax, here is a solution:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=90062.0

Why settle for 110% anyway?

Well that was real classy.
1179  Economy / Marketplace / Re: BFL May be Lying about Incorporation Status on: June 26, 2012, 07:54:42 PM
Did you read any of the previous thousands of topics in this regard?

I'm not sure if it's been fixed yet, but they had an expired Wyoming incorporation.

Wow! this BitPay deal made it into the news!
Which in itself might be worth the hassle.

I wish BitPay a success and hope they manage to liquidate their BTC stash efficiently.

>PRWeb

They paid to get into the "news". Same as BFL did, lol.
