And where is "ebay-like" auction service ?
+1

I've not used biddingpond, so the answer may be obvious, but what's missing from it with respect to ebay (except for PayPal and apparent world domination, obviously!)

it would probably have been a good idea to note that as soon as you realised your error, with a short apology.

If I had known I would have simply removed the comment. And why should I apologise for someone else using vulgarities in my thread and on a community forum? Was it really so hard for him to say "Please could you clarify where it says that on my website. If it does say this, it is a mistake and we will rectify it immediately. However I think you are mistaken and may want to check your facts."

I really don't have the patience to deal with immature adults, they never get anywhere in life beyond a ground level job. Simply cutting out the vulgarities goes a long way, there is nothing wrong with an aggressive argument approach and it often works in the business world. But using vulgarity is just a sheer cut sign of short mindedness.
I'm not suggesting that you should apologise for someone else's comments; I'm suggesting that you should apologise for your error, rather than taking offence at their response to your error.

Edit: Incidentally, I'm struggling to see any vulgarity. There's a "WTF", which is a fairly common idiom, but I suppose someone could take offence to that, but really - is that the vulgarity that concerns you?

You can buy GBP from Nanaimo Gold at a (current) rate of 0.5969 GBP/1 BTC.

Not sure if that's any help or not, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

Can the site be trusted? The site says the don't accept responsibility for transactions, so seems like a good place for a scammer to lurk. It does also say that previous transaction info is available so I suppose it could be fairly obvious.

What are you talking about?

> The site says the don't accept responsibility for transactions

Where? Why would I say that?

> It does also say that previous transaction info is available

WTF are you talking about?

What's with all the hostility. Anyway, I posted that in the wrong thread and it was meant for another website.

For a guy trying to make money maybe you should think about using some better manners.

"What's with all the hostility [?]" - I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that someone making honest money from a website probably didn't appreciate having his business defamed.

"Anyway, I posted that in the wrong thread and it was meant for another website." - it would probably have been a good idea to note that as soon as you realised your error, with a short apology.

...awesome logic removed for brevity...

I hope I spanked LMGTFY hard enough Wink
You certainly did, and I bow to your awesome summary of the situation ;-)

lol bobR you're too much I have so much fun reading your posts thanks.
I have to admit that initial annoyance has now turned to bemusement and even amusement. And, were it not for bobR, I'd never have made the transition from "lurker" to "poster"... so I suppose I have bobR to thank for something.
1365  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Has the bar been raised too high on: March 16, 2011, 10:39:07 PM
DOES PISS OFF
mean anything

Any other takers? Or, for that matter, anyone who supports bobR's nomination?
1366  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Has the bar been raised too high on: March 16, 2011, 10:29:22 PM
A true troll
even admits to thats all he does is follow me WOW
Nope, I don't recall saying that *all* I do is follow you. Link to the post where I said that, please. In the previous post I said I'd read all your posts - not that "all [I do] is follow [you]".

Now thats a TROLL

do I get your lousy bounty
Patience! Two other forum posters need to agree that your post (whichever one it was, you didn't link to it) was positive and useful.

I posted about time error (WHICH was Ignored)
I posted about bs ask rate ( had to ask in another thread to get an answer)
If this is the post I'm thinking of, it was more of the wah-wah-wambulance nonsense we've come to know and "love".

Whose ass are YOU SUCKING
Touché - you've got me there!

I've been abused for asking questions
Diddums. Poor old you. Maybe if you used punctuation and stopped shouting and whining you'd get a better response.

Stop following me and ....
I'll be polite
I live in hope... but you were behaving like this long before I got involved.
1367  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Has the bar been raised too high on: March 16, 2011, 10:03:52 PM
Another TROLL with their BS
Thanks for nothing
If you possibly could contribute please do
as for the CRAP
well   no one needs to say where to put it
What a schmuck

Here's fun. I've just trawled through all of bobR's 58 posts. The only one that I could find that makes any form of positive, useful contribution is this one.

(Compare and contrast with ronaldmaustin).

Can anyone else find any other post from bobR that contributes anything positive and useful? I pledge 5 BTCs if you can!

(Small print: if two posters, other than bobR, agree that a bobR post other than the one listed above makes a positive, useful contribution to the community I'll pay the poster who first identified the bobR post 5 BTC. bobR can nominate posts, but two other posters will need to agree before I pay up. Other forum members can nominate posts, and if one other poster agrees I'll pay up).

Feel free to post your order to www.bitcoinusd.com. You are not required to deposit coins there. Just wait when somebody interested in will contact you.

I would but I don't know of a way to get from BTC>USD>GBP without incurring very high tolls.
I *think* bitcoinusd also does other currencies.

You might also want to check out bitcoin-otc.com, which is an "over the counter" market for all currencies - you place an order to sell your bitcoins for Sterling, and if someone with £s is interested they'll get in touch.

...though for a relatively small amount, here on the forum is probably not a bad bet!

Who squeezed your head
That's another problem here
people think they HAVE TO say something

If it's not an answer to the problem ... WHY did you post ??


U can opt put, if u want, who is stopping u?
Looks like an answer to the problem...

If u want bitcoin, there always the option of solo mining or u can create ur own pool.
Looks like another answer to the problem...

Also, if u want instant answers then better go to IRC Freenode, #bitcoin-discussion & #bitcoin-mining...
Looks like yet another answer to the problem...


people think they HAVE TO say something
Too true, sadly too true. Check out these hilarious examples: one, two.

No.

my machines are struggling to find shares

Enough
It already costs at least double in  electricity to find any gold
What IDIOT keeps advancing the difficulty  HuhHuh??
I don't know whether you're for real, or whether this is an elaborate troll, but just in case... RTM.

nice my last several posts are # 50

WTF    is anyone paying attention


gee they all now 51
guess every post changes every thing shown
Sorry


Every post shows "Posts", yes. Not the post number, the number of posts. Hence "Posts" and not "Post". Guess you weren't paying attention, hmmm? WTF OMG LOL !!!Eleventy1!!!! :-o

1373  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin-GBP - How to? on: March 14, 2011, 03:10:07 PM
Anyone know of a good way to convert directly between BTC and BGP (Aka Sterling)?

Any non direct methods very much appreciated too, such as converting to USD and over to GBP? I understand there is something in the works along these lines, info of which can be found here:

https://www.bitcoin.org/smf/index.php?topic=4118.0

bitcoin-otc has worked well for me in the past (buying GBP with BTC). Right now the site seems down, however.
1374  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: A table comparing Mining power of ATI and NVIDIA cards and their respective energy consumptions? on: March 11, 2011, 03:36:07 PM
Has anyone compiled a table, with a list of ATI cards sorted by their mining power, with NVIDIA cards aligned with their closest equivalent ATI ones in the table by their mining power,  with the electricity consumption of each also included? (i would expect NVIDIA cards would be aligned with much weaker and cheaper ATI cards, it's my understanding that ATI's are optmized for the type of processing used in mining, while NVIDIA's are optmized for somthing else)
This isn't exactly what you're looking for, but it would be trivial to compare the two lists and align Nvidia with the equivalent AMD card.

Edit: Incidentally, AMD cards are optimised for integer processing (which is ideal for hashing), but Nvidia cards are optimised for floating-point processing.
1375  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: 4870hushs and Questions on: March 11, 2011, 01:44:31 PM
Got a 4870toxic(780/1000mhz) and after clocking it abit more(820/500) got 93000khush/s.(using poclbm_py2exe_20110222)
93Mhash/s looks pretty good - compare it with the hardware comparison list, where another miner was getting only 78Mhash/s.

Also a quad Q9450 2.66Ghx o/c to 3.2 getting around 5500khash/s (using bitcoin)
Sounds about right for CPU mining, but my advice would be to turn off CPU mining and just use the 4870. You'll be generating a lot of heat, and using more power, for very little gain.

I see in my Bitcoin that im generating around 5500khash/s and have been doing so for a day and gone up to the max block atm 113132.From taskmnger i see this is maxing out all 4 cores to 100%.
Still "0" transactions .Am i doing something wrong whipping my rig for nothing ?_?
The Bitcoin client will only report the CPU miner's hash rate: it won't tell you what the GPU miner is doing.

At the present rate of difficulty, it'll take your 4870 nearly 41 days on average to generate one block: I'd recommend you look at joining a mining pool instead of "solo mining".
1376  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Thought Experiment: Is Bitcoin a Ponzi scheme? on: March 11, 2011, 12:06:51 AM
With a little research, I found that one can change USD -> Yen -> BitCoin -> USD  and come out ahead. That should not be possible.
I think you mean:
1. Exchange USD for JPY *now*,
2. Jump back in time to March 5th and exchange JPY for BTC,
3. Jack back to today and exchange BTC for USD.

Or is there a JPY figure that's more current than March 5th?

Arbitrage is certainly possible. It's possible, though harder, in far more liquid markets. But I doubt you'd find it to be as easy as you seem to suggest.
1377  Economy / Economics / Re: WTH? why a sudden drop by 10 cents? on: March 10, 2011, 03:54:18 PM
...probably by going after exchanges.
But bitcoins can be traded either on an exchange, or over the counter. I've used both, and OTC (bitcoin-otc) was far more convenient that exchange trading (MtGox). OTC is far harder to attack, as it's decentralised. A private, possibly encrypted, discussion takes place somewhere online between two parties, one party sends some bitcoins, and the counterparty transfers some money from their account in Singapore to an account in the Caymen Islands.

tl;dr: The State will need to find a better way to bring Bitcoin down :-)

You are probably not aware that Jesus did not actually exist:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFsmmMTMCHU
Not had a chance to see the film yet, but that'll be quite interesting. Richard Dawkins, in The God Delusion, argues that a case for Jesus' non-existence could be made, although Dawkins personally believes Jesus did exist. Personally, I think existence/non-existence of Jesus is, for atheists and agnostics, as irrelevant as theists arguing over the esoteric arcana that seems to divide different churches.

MSI Afterburner in windows will allow you to go lower, afaik. has anyone written anything does something similar?

Strange - maybe different manufacturers set different ranges? I'm out of options, though - given the MSI Afterburner stuff - I'd assume that it *must* be possible to go outside the configurable peak range on Linux, too. (There's a thread somewhere here - you've likely seen it - where Windows users with MSI Afterburner are finding a "sweet spot" around 300MHz; it'd be good to have that available on Linux...)
