Since these adverts seem to be working here, it might be a neat idea to implement an automated system where people can create their ad and bit on spots. The ad would have to be approved, of course, but then it would show automatically in its slot.
I've thought about it, but I intend to remove ads after we switch to new forum software, so it seems like a waste of time. Oh, okay. That works. Tasteful, useful, toned-down, relevant (text) ads can actually be a good thing too. If they are relevant, people don't necessarily see them as an intrusion. |

Sure. It's a wonderful idea to encrypt the backup of your wallet. Just remember that trojans and keyloggers can nick your Truecrypt passphrase, just like any other (unless you're careful).

£10 for 1BTC sounds awfully high. Does it cost a lot to operate/accept payment via the mobile phone companies?

This is why penny auctions are evil.

Bitcoinica is dancing on the razor edge of legality What exactly is/might be illegal about it? |

I don't purport to know how the math works, but this is a *very* interesting discussion that will hopefully result in some new innovations with bitcoin.

Answer 1: If she is worried about a fire starting, I don't see how the odds are all that different if you are away for a week or away for an evening. Preaching to the choir man.  Answer 2: Marital bliss is more important than some BTC. Indeed. *insert thumbs up smilie here* |

we have some of the toughest gun laws and I thank God for them. Do you think they actually help keep violent criminals from obtaining weapons? Honest question, not trolling. So long as people don't want to die, laws work. That's changing more and more everyday. That doesn't really answer my question. But you're right. Laws work for people who obey laws and they don't work for people who don't obey them. Violent criminals, by their very definition do not obey the law, so why would they obey gun control laws? If we had a law that said breaking laws was illegal, it'd fix all of this. You know, that just might work.... we have some of the toughest gun laws and I thank God for them.

Your general statement is flawed though. |

I'd like to simply make notice to any of our customers that if you're uncomfortable with your pre-order purchase, you're welcome to cancel your pre-order slot and get a full refund with no questions asked.
If anyone cancels their pre-order slot, will it become available again for purchase at the lower price? Wow, I wouldn't even consider this so close to an answer. I mean in ~15 hours or so you'll at least have a good idea if this is fantasy or reality. Why pull the trigger now? Just asking a question. Questions are free. Fair enough..forgive, certainly no insult intended. No worries. |

If the Bitcoin project is going to have a donation address at all I think it needs to be implemented as described in this topic ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=53177.0). The system that they work out in that topic requires two separate parties to generate private keys that are then matemagically turned into a single private key that neither of them know. Then they matemagically make a public key of that by doing some crazy math with the separate public keys. Anyhow, boils down to multiple parties having to corroborate in order to spend the money. Either that or https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BIP_0011 needs implemented. I just don't trust one person having control of an address that is listed to be donated to on every copy of the Satoshi client. I'm all for the idea of having a donate button, but trust comes up as a big issue if we add one. This is a fair concern, and I like the idea of spreading the trust among 2 or 3 people who would have to be in agreement to redeem the BTC. |

I mean if it was hitting 1.5GH/s I doubt they would want to keep that a secret.
They might if they planned to throttle it to 1GH/s and then in six months come out with an improved version that does 1.5GH/s for a higher price. |

Also, if you set threads to -1, will it not run on systems with 1 cpu?

It would be nice to have some more granularity in throttling the miner. A way to accomplish the following: 1 cpu = use 25% of it (25% of all resources) 2 cpus = use 75% of one (37.5% of all resources) 3 cpus = use 1.5 (100% of one and 50% of the second) (50% of all resources) 4 cpus = use 2.5 (100% of two and 50% of the third) (62.5% of all resources) The goal would be to not overtax old systems, but give a little more work to newer systems that can handle it. |

How will the client make its first connection then?
