Hmm, well actually I'm looking for a "full android" phone, so yours doesn't fit perfectly.
Maybe some other people show interest in it.
Good luck with selling it.

Well, I'm selling it to buy a full android phone myself, so there you have it Smiley

How old ?
Is there still warranty ? Do you have the bill ?

Can you install android to the phone, or only use it from card ?

approx. 3 years, no warranty, no bill. You can't flash android directly on the phone because windows does a buch of init stuff the guys at xdandroid didn't reverse engineer yet. There is an util that boots android automatically after windows mobile loads, but I haven't tried it.

XDAndroid is here: http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Main_Page the HTC Touch pro is the Raphael.

Can we see pictures ?

Sure. Sorry for the suckish images but the only cameras I have available right now are webcam and the actual phone, so webcam it had to be. I can get better quality pictures soon if there's an interest in the device.


1324  Economy / Goods / HTC Touch Pro Smartphone on: February 28, 2011, 05:21:08 PM
So I want to buy a new phone...

I'm selling my trusty HTC Touch Pro, unlocked. The phone has pretty much the same battery time as when new, which is not amazing but usable (I have to charge it every other day if using as phone, and every day if I use it for ssh administration or web browsing).

The phone is this one: http://www.htc.com/www/product/touchpro/gallery.html

There are two things of note on this device;
- The screen is scratched from carrying on the pocket. Lots of small scatches, a couple larger ones but nothing that blocks the view in any way. They are simply perceptible.
- The volume up key stopped working, go figure. Not that I use it regularly, so maybe it was lack of usage that killed it Smiley

Other than that it works great. It charges using the USB port, but I don't have a mains adapter. I will provide a cable for connecting to the computer.

I'll also include an adapter so you can use your phones with it (I use that on the car) just like this one: http://store.androidcentral.com/htc-multifunction-audio-adapter/A11A4401.htm

I don't bundle a minisd card, but you can use at least up to 8GB there (that's what I'm using). This phone runs on Windows Mobile 6.1, but it can run android pretty well from the SD card, except the battery life will suck deeply (slightly less than a day per charge, if mostly on standby). It is pretty good for development testing, though.

So, BTC 150 shipped to Europe? To the US should be around 4~5 BTC extra, I think.

How cheap is "cheap"? I'm always buying music CDs and LPs and DVD movies, but only when they are real bargains. I would certainly love to see a sample with prices of this offer.

So the Bitcoin economy is already valued at several million dollars, and yet we can't find a person to write a Windows GUI?

It only goes to show how self sustainable bitcoin is! All real windows coders are busy rewriting their PHP into C# anyway.

Because:
Code:
$ ./configure 
[...]
checking for pkg-config... /opt/local/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
./configure: line 4301: syntax error near unexpected token `,'
./configure: line 4301: `LIBCURL_CHECK_CONFIG(, 7.10.1, ,'

autogen could not find your libcurl autoconf macros.  Sounds like you have a non-standard installation, outside the normal autoconf/automake paths.



Yeah, I'm probably crying wolf a bit. My development environment is highly customized, both for work requirements and laziness factors. I'll work my way around these issues myself, sorry for the inconvenience Smiley

Tried this on osx 10.6, using gcc 4.2.1, which does not have the builtin byte swap, apparently:

Code:
#if ((__GNUC__ > 4) || (__GNUC__ == 4 && __GNUC_MINOR__ >= 3))
#define WANT_BUILTIN_BSWAP
#else
#include <byteswap.h>
#endif

But the current master HEAD (6d2882937f8b2a5291ae68ae9ea985ad5271d0fb) does not have this byteswap.h file.

byteswap.h is provided by your OS.  cpuminer will probably need a few minor patches before building on osx.   Patches welcome!

Right, I'll find where that is on my OS and why it isn't picked up using the default paths then.

Also, using ./autogen.h left me with a weird check for libcurl in configure:

Code:
LIBCURL_CHECK_CONFIG(, 7.10.1, ,
  AC_MSG_ERROR([Missing required libcurl >= 7.10.1]))

Why is that weird?  That's the standard CURL autotools macro invocation.

My own experience is the opposite of yours. Jed has always been *very* responsive and I have successfully withdrawn to EU bank once. I asked him on Sunday, he immediately took the money from my account and it arrived today. Now, having said this, he has been silent this whole week. I've sent a couple of emails and have not received anything back.

But, seriously, I have no issue trusting mtgox with cash or coins. Trust wise he's very, very positive. He may have some personal thing preventing him from replying, I don't know, but I'm sure that if you keep trying he'll eventually come around.

Btw, he also hangs around the bitcoin-* rooms on freenode, try there too.

1332  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: More divisibility required - move the decimal point on: February 10, 2011, 06:18:00 PM
I'm not saying we should complicate anything. Actually, all this should be transparent to the user, with at most a simple fee/priority option, and *maybe* a notice that 'maybe you should include a fee' when last block was topped up, or something.

What I am saying is that with the current implementation there is a chance a tx stays in limbo forever, by being back logged by miners consistently. Hence the proposal for a default 'allow X free tx in each block' structure. Of course I run my own version of bitcoin and can hardcode whatever I feel like, but most casual miners make up most of the network, I guess.
1333  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: More divisibility required - move the decimal point on: February 10, 2011, 05:48:10 PM
Say all miners enforce fees (which is unlikely right now, but still). I send a transaction without fees, does it get accepted but kept in backlog? If so can it be cancelled, does it timeout?

Reasoning is in a high volume situation I may send a "free" transaction but it may be ignored by miners for a long time, as most other transactions have non zero fees. This is all good, I can resubmit my transaction with a fee so it gets processed, but what with the original "free" request?

As a miner myself, I'd say I would never attach more than a certain (low) number of free transactions on my newly found blocks. This rule would allow the free transactions, but prevents spam from taking down the network without cost.

In fact, why not a default increasing fee structure for block transactions in miners? Each block would take 10 free tx, 10 @ 0.001, 10 @ 0.01, etc (10 is just a number, substitute with whatever makes sense). Then the market forces would keep this structure fair, I guess.

At the time of your post, there are no open wagers to bet on. The MtGox wagers close at the end of each month, the end of March wagers will open in a couple weeks.

We offer national televised games as well, currently NCAA basketball and NBA.

Then why does it say that the difficulty bet and the Mt. Gox bet are under "Active Games"? I'm a bit confused...     Undecided


Semantics, semantics... the game is "active" until it is settled, but that doesn't mean you can still bet on it. Like a soccer game is active until the game ends, but you can only bet up to the game start. Any hints on better wording for the 3 states?

1) game open, bets open
2) game open, bets closed
3) game settled

Thanks!

I have thought in the past that the data on SSDs, if they fail, cannot be recovered. Is this true? I suppose you could have a backup system in place but without one you are walking on ice, IMO.

How does that make sense? Even if the data is irrecoverable, you do not want to keep your coins in a simple drive, ssd or otherwise. I can assure you, from experience, that retrieving data after hardware failure on a platter based drive is neither guaranteed nor inexpensive. You'd have to have a LOT of coins there to make it worth your while...

Backups, people, lots and very often.

"It's not if your drive will fail, it's *when*"

How does what make sense? If you're going to make constant backups anyway, why have a more expensive solid state drive where there could be a platter drive for 1/2 the cost? Space issues? Use a 2.5" laptop drive instead. Just a thought.

True. I wasn't trying to stress SSD are a better option, in fact I don't think they are, but just addressing the concern that SSD's are not safe enough for bitcoin mining. I mean, if you are going to depend on the reliability of any drive, you are bound for a surprise, and not the good kind.

Just saying...

The thing is, Sirius has already seen this and the heroin store threads and has chosen not to lock/delete them. Assuming that the success of Bitcoin is in his self-interest, this non-action means that he believes these threads won't impact Bitcoin negatively, and you probably won't convince him otherwise. You are just gonna have to let it go, being a control freak is the surest way to unhappiness.

Hey. I repeat - we do not deal with illegal stuff at all! All our girls are 18 years old! Here is fresh webcam video from our Martha - http://ubitio.us/file/download/24
