Wanna bet?

Yeah that reminds me - not sure if it applies to recent versions, but the config file generation from cgminer on windows always exported a broken config for me. I never figured out what was broken, i just had to keep poking at it until it started working. Not sure if it is a bug because of no video cards or because windows, or what.

May I remind everyone of the following quote from Bitcoinica's blogspot page:


As far as I can see, other than username, email, and transaction history, none of the information you are supplying on the claims form is had by the cracker(s). I agree that asking for the password would have been a good idea, since it would theoretically take the idiots that stole the database a while to recover them, assuming the users didn't use dictionary passwords or the like.

BFL doesn't owe you any kind of explanation. Neither is New Old Stock related to being "lucky". What does a distributor do when there is no demand for some ancient product? Simple, supply and demand curves - they discount it.

^^ does not mean secondhand or used.

It's a valid StartCom certificate that was just issued, but connecting via IP doesn't allow the browser to do various automated checks on it.

Vanitygen has a little-known ability to use regex, which - if written carefully - could make the job easier. It could also be sped up by running on many GPUs.

And after the 1EML part, it says wAweso
Looks like the beginning of "Awesome", not sure what the "w" is all about.

$0.35 or $0.035? 35 cents per kwh is EXPENSIVE, not cheap.

EDIT: I see your edit now. Yes that is a very good price.

And narrated video, of course.

They both sound great, but I'm also interested in whatever happened to the cards. Lost in the mail?

seekrits! NDAs! *foams at the mouth* We trust no one with that info, not even the engineers that developed that formula! Hey you engineer over there, come over here so I can do the obligatory daily Blackbeard-style execution!

We're pretty sure you won't grow extraneous limbs from using it on your rigs, but who sits by their rigs all day anyway?

Try a comma, like so: -S \\.\COM23,\\.\COM24,\\.\COM25
Not actually sure whether that will work, but the comma delimited settings are common in other options for cgminer.

It's a bit worse than that, the nameservers are acting really weird. http://www.intodns.com/bitcoinica.com
I did a bit of nslookup'ing, and the DNS servers don't respond when asked for SOA, NS or A records. OpenDNS has cached copies of the A records, but not all of them, and no cached copies of NS records.

I was able to connect to the claims.bitcoinica.com site once in firefox, but have never been able to connect to www.bitcoinica.com. Now, I can't access it either. I'd guess the DNS is either being DDoSed, or it has a major problem with its round-robin setup.

The weird thing is that Firefox won't connect, but Internet Explorer will.

This +1. To start with, we never saw any communication from them indicating that anything that Zhoutong said was in any way incorrect, or that there was need of an apology to begin with. Of course, that could have been communicated privately, but from what I have seen so far even Zhoutong himself is becoming frustrated with the obvious stonewalling that we are seeing from the Consultancy.

Indeed, stonewalling is the best description that I can imagine for this series of events; to the public, and to those that wish to fix the problems, as it appears - since access to even the domain name has been fraught with problems such as a poor DNS implementation, leading to those that don't even use the forum to be forced to come here and find out the problem, and wait here for a resolution.

No. I'll add a bit of Awesome Sauce to that:

HUGE

Thank you, Mr. Manager. If I may provide some insights into the sorely disappointing news that rjk's Awesome Sauce will not enable the mentioned superpowers, but would instead give them to the steak itself - the digestive process breaks down these benefits after the steak is eaten, so it won't work that way. You seem to have stumbled onto something though, and that is that we plan to make it work with a direct application - I.E., liberal application twice daily to the skull area.

However, we cannot at this moment recommend the treatment on humans, because of the rare and thus far unexplained side-effects that appear to manifest themselves after the enjoyment of some of the superpowers, namely that which gives the ability to go without food. When the dessert portion of the "going-without-food-but-still-tasting-it-as-if-it-were-there" superpower is activated, the strange side effects manifest themselves as follows:



Unfortunately, this requires a trip through the mangle, leaving the poor subject looking somewhat like this:



However, our engineers are always advancing! Please contact us if you wish to offer yourself for the cause of science!

Singles have those too. But I see all kinds of cool goodies on the board, to be honest.
