I think Jan has fixed it now, but his mobile wallet used to choke on the capital B in Bitcoin, I believe the spec says it should be lower case.

This is awesome, I love the way you guys think.

If you were going to consider a PCIe based modular system, note that PICMG 1.3 is an industry standard already, and seems to me that it would suit. This would allow modules to be swapped out when the future performance increases come along. You could cut costs by using a single cheap PCIe switching/fanout chip and splitting the lanes so that each slot would only get 1x electrical connectivity. This is plenty for this application, and would even work for some video and GPU compute applications such as regular video card based bitcoin mining.

There are cases and power supplies already designed around the standard too, so that is an advantage.

Also, making the join and part messages a little less intrusive would be cool. Perhaps a smaller font and in grey, instead of red.

It works!

But it shows a mobile phone icon lol. Unless you did that on purpose.

Only marginally more secure, unless you can encrypt the disk.

I'm still trying to figure out how you bypass Google when using their hosting? So your website has a set of forms asking for things such as bitcoin address, email address, etc. Where does the form POST to? I assume it gets stored on a Google Docs spreadsheet, which you then access to transfer the data to your setup. I hate to sound paranoid and tinfoil-ish, but I can't reasonably expect Google to actually delete anything that gets submitted, even if you request them to, based on their business of data collection on anyone and everything.

I didn't hear it, I am just making an assumption based on the fact that his email server was compromised.

Education is about learning how to learn, just as much as it is about the knowledge itself. I think you need to learn how to do some independent research and analysis.

I'm guessing it's going to be all Patrick's email, unfortunately. Seems logical anyway.

Yeah... the LED is SMT, so it probably didn't fall off, but the little plastic thing easily could have if the package was thrown across the room or tossed onto a truck carelessly (not infeasible). Watching a large package sorting operation a la USPS, UPS, FedEx, etc, is a hair-raising experience.

Ah yes, I remember that incident now, it was during the Comodo debacle -


Yeah this is lame. I wonder if there is a list of CA's that can definitely and for sure say that they have never been breached. I bet it is fairly short.

So even a merchant service provider (paysius, bit-pay) won't make your bank happy? You don't actually ever touch the coins yourself with an MSP. Also fees, but PP charges them too.

A registrar with a built-in Route 53 frontend. That's actually pretty cool.

I actually like that second one: Ƀ

^ that's what I get from alt+2285, using ctrl+shift did nothing at all.

Hosted by Google, no less. What makes you think that things deleted after 7 days are actually deleted?

Price negotiable, bumping for sales!

Bump for sales! Price reduced, this is a nice compact powerhouse that will easily run an overclocked 7970 or even 7990 if they ever get released...

It is also very very quiet due to the watercooling system. The rad is attached to the bottom of the main 200(?)mm case fan, which is a low velocity high flow unit. It also has a 120mm Scythe fan on the other side of the rad - this fan makes a lot more noise, but isn't needed if you aren't overclocking. This system hasn't been overclocked, but if you want to do so, just connect the Scythe fan and turn it up to 11.

Um, that is a new certificate (did you look?) generated 5/16/2012 by Patrick's personal account. After the hack. Presumably the previous cert was compromised and then revoked afterwards, but I don't have a copy of the fingerprint so I can't check its revocation status.

Yeah OK, well I thought you meant they might have had the private key to their root certificate compromised, or their systems broken into and bad certs issued, or whatever. My projects aren't anything the gubmint is interested it so I'm not really worried.
