Haha good luck with making source code illegal. Once the genie's out of the bottle that's it. And it is out.

I'm only making like 0.07 BTC/day but I'm just happy to be participating at all.

Well then I guess I have no idea. I'm a C++ guy in my day job but I haven't looked into the fine details of the BTC algos.
OP hasn't posted for over a month so I'm not sure he's around anymore.

Hmm perhaps my question wasn't very clear. I'm aware of what you said, what I meant to ask is, does it search within the full (2^256) range of possible private keys or a subset of it. I would have checked the source myself but my C/C++ is a little too rusty...
It picks random starting points within the 256 bit private key space and increments from there. So yes it considers the entire 256 bit space. |

Wow it looks like this is the longest block ever for eligius at 80+ hours.
|

Wow. A bunch of angry nerds pushing a false dichotomy. If you don't completely support Bitcoin, you are Bitcoin's enemy.
Yeah, that is the attitude that will encourage the greater public to adopt Bitcoin.. Nice job boys!!
LOL don't worry. The general public is not only not paying attention to BTC, they haven't even heard of it. |

Eligius is in the middle of a 75 hour block right now. That's gotta be frustrating.

Actually if you dig a hole in the ground and go down a couple of feet it's like 50 degrees year-round (at least at my latitude).
Just stick the whole thing in a metal box and bury it with the cables coming out of the ground. That's free!

Fine - except that their public statement is a nebulous pile of FUD and their direct statements to other non-profits downright discouraging of adoption.
They should be more cognizant of their effect on the rest of the non-profit community.
If their statements are so untrue, then why are people following their advice  H. L. Mencken once famously said "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people". I'm going to stretch here and say this applies to people in general. |

Maybe the EFF doesn't consider BTC important enough to warrant their attention. They have limited resources and have to choose their battles based on their own agenda.

I have 0 as well.  |

Bitcoin is interesting, but I really can't identify with this religious fanaticism that requires companies, organizations etc to either be "true believers" or "heretics".
|
|
|
|
Exactly. It's like a dick size contest where you measure yourself.  |
|
|
|
|
Of course such polls are of questionable value anyway. Who's more likely to vote at all? People with more BTC or less? Or something more in the "middle"?

I didn't used to be one of those, but now I'm not.

I accidentally the whole thread.

Does the Tor hidden service for the mining portal still work at xg3mjrqqxal4i5g7.onion:8337?
