Be careful if you choose bitcointalk. I've heard there are a lot of scams on there.

FTFY  Cool

Just use IE to download proper web browser....

Sadly I'm forced to use IE8 at work.  They're stone-age Nazis.

I run the client 24/7 because I'm a miner.

Get a lightweight client like Electrum
Don't trust a centralized server with your data.  It defeats the decentralized purpose of BTC.

You can download most of the blockchain using bittorrent which is much faster for initial start-up.

Payments made only for account balance over 0.67, how about those with lower unpaid balances?

Wait for wizkid to change the reward algorithm and start mining again to kick it loose.
(I have about 0.49 BTC tied up too)

With so many conversions available to various fiat currencies, BTC value for goods is usually tied to the exchange rate.

In the absence of fiat exchanges (yes, yes I know) you'd be on your own to figure it out.  It's called Auction Market Theory.
It starts out with a loaf of bread that someone with BTC wants.  If he has lots of BTC and starts haggling for the bread, the bread's owner is going to start fishing for how high the buyer will go.  After thousands of such transactions the price settles around some mean which is "the price".

What does "Punishing share for 'Block-stale detected!" mean? I gather it happens after a new block appears on the network.. but what is the punishment?

You must spank her well.  And after you have spanked her, you may deal with her as you like.  And then, spank me.

You can run bitcoind and p2pool on different machines.  I believe it's even suggested that you do that.

What advantage are you gaining running things on the RPi besides looking for things to do with your cool new toy?  Cool

Black Market Reloaded has everything mentioned.

I don't suppose you have that onion address? Smiley

I've probably said too much already.

It was crazy last night with howling wind, reported gusts of 60 mph.  This AM it's less windy but the rain's still coming down.
Officially we've received 5-7 inches of rain so far and they're expecting 4 more inches today.

Amazingly the power stayed on without a glitch so far.

Wow you don't get the day off?

Only government employees get days off for weather.

I can assure you the customer did not slip the product schedule for us because of weather.  The work's absolutely positively gotta be done by the due date.

What happens when the threshold of version 8 clients is crossed?
456  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Frankenstorm! on: October 29, 2012, 10:46:13 AM
It's raining hard and steady here near Washington.

Should be an interesting commute.

Oh yeah gotta get me some of this.

I live in the mid-Atlantic and supposedly ground zero for the damn thing.
