LMAO I think a condition of this is after you do your business with them, you have explain LTC and BTC to that girl Also best part is you look at the girls two of them have there faces covered  LMAO even they are embarrassed to be in that profession LMAO I would say it doesn't necessarily mean they are embarrassed. But rather it might mean that they don't plan to do that line of work forever. And there are people out there that look down upon people who are in this profession. Therefore, they don't want to be penalized later in life because of the morality judgments of the holier than thou crowd. |

I am having a problem with the BTC shares. No matter how I configure my miners, your site is not giving me my shares. I currently have only one GPU mining on cgminer for testing, here is the config;
cgminer -o stratum+tcp://coinotron.com:3333 -u modcom.mc1b -p xxxx --shaders 1408 -I 12 -g 1 -w 64
I show approx 300Mh'/s, you site shows about the same. But no shares that are being accepted are increasing my share counter. I have been trying to get this up and running for the last day to no avail. I tried guiminer as well, still no luck on share counts. I feel as though I’m giving away my shares, because your pool site is not recording them.
At one point I pointed all my miners at your site, for BTC, showing 1.9 Gh/s and still no BTC shares were being recorded in my account.
Any and all help would be appreciated.
I may be able to give you somewhat of an answer until coinotron gives a more definitive one. I have noticed when I am mining alt coins at coinotron the counters update every few minutes. But I have noticed when mining BTC that the counters take a long time to update. You're still getting credit, it just isn't showing. |

This thread had crash and burn written all over it from the beginning.  |

you need a flashy website with a picture of a platinum bar centered at the top of the page only then will the coins flow through you...  I knew I was missing something! |
|
|
|
I "borrowed" the idea for this game from someone else, but here are the rules. 1) You buy the Platinum Bar at the buy price. 2) You now wait for another person to buy the Platinum Bar from you at the selling price. 3) You profit. The only way to lose this game, is for you to be holding the bar and for 7 full days to pass with no one purchasing it from you. At which point the game will start over.
GAME #1 | Transaction | Time (UTC -6) | Owner | Buy | Sell | Fee | Profit | 1 | 11:36pm | Nolo | .1BTC | .2BTC | .02BTC | .08BTC | 2 | | | .2BTC | .35BTC | .04BTC | .11BTC | 3 | | | .35BTC | .55BTC | .06BTC | .14BTC | 4 | | | .55BTC | .90BTC | .10BTC | .25BTC | 5 | | | .90BTC | 1.4BTC | .20BTC | .30BTC | 6 | | | 1.4BTC | 2.1BTC | .25BTC | .45BTC | 7 | | | 2.1BTC | 3.0BTC | .30BTC | .60BTC | 8 | | | 3.0BTC | 4.3BTC | .40BTC | .90BTC | 9 | | | 4.3BTC | 5.9BTC | .50BTC | 1.1BTC | 10 | | | 5.9BTC | 8.4BTC | .75BTC | 1.75BTC | 11 | | | 8.4BTC | 13.0BTC | 1.25BTC | 3.35BTC |
I will add more rows to the table as they become necessary.
To play, post in the following format: "Transaction #2. BTC Address: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" Then send the amount in the "Buy" column to: 1Ht5dCJ9xgvF6MqiMbRBvZaxLPk2dutX4F I will then post that I have received the BTC and add your name in the Transaction #2 spot. Once the next person buys, I will transfer the appropriate amount (Your Buy price plus your profit) to the BTC address you provided. Enjoy! And keep buying! Remember, the only way you can lose is if 7 days passes without someone buying. You can always buy again yourself to extend this for another 7 day period. *Disclaimer* I will make every reasonable effort to update this thread several times a day as necessary. I reserve the right to make adjustments based on extenuating circumstances, such as extending the game time beyond the 7 day expiration time of last purchase for reasons such as me getting hit by a bus, stuck in a coma, and I can't update this thread regularly. |

So is the object to not be the last person holding on to the gold bar? As long as someone keeps buying it, there aren't any losers correct?
Does the game ever reset back to the bar being worth 0btc?

Yeah looking at the post 2 up that does make it tough. My guess is that the bankrupt company isn't trying to pull a scam. They likely wouldn't remove the toner until it was used completed and then probably wouldn't hang on to it. If it was a printer cart I would say check the printer to see if it has a MICR toner cart installed. That would indicate they probably started printing checks at one time and the "spare" toner is probably the original and partially used. Being a copier that doesn't apply so my guess is it is new. No real way to tell, not without access to a compatible copier. The higher end toner carts have microchip so loading it into the correct copier should show the number of copies made (somewhere in the setup menus  ). BTW: My first job in IT was tech support for Cannon. That's what I was worried about. It weighs 2lbs 12.6oz. I'll try to find the weight online of a new cartridge, but I doubt I'll be able to find that. |

If it is using the word Canon on it and doesn't come sealed in a Canon retail box with hologram it is at best a fake and at worst a used fake.
Note I got no problem with off brand toner but Canon is a trademark of Canon so there is an honest off brand manufacturer calling their product "Canon L50 compatible" and then there are the dishonest ones trying to pass theirs off as a genuine Canon (or HP or xyz) part. If you can't trust them enough to be honest with the labelling who knows what else they are faking. I mean it is very easy to design a toner cartridge which has 1/4th the toner (and more plastic makes it weight about right) so even new it could produce less pages then a used one would.
I should have been more clear in my original post on how I came into possession of it. |

look at the price
you ALWAYS get what you pay for.
I'm selling it. And need to know what to make people pay for I purchased it (along with a ton of other stuff) at a bankruptcy sale of an office. So I don't know if it was used or not. The packaging it was in was a silver wrapper you would expect it to come in, but it was open. |
|
|
|
I don't have the copier, so I can't put it in the copier to test it. It appears to be very clean, and doesn't "look" as though it has been used, but I didn't know if there was any test I could do on it, to determine for sure whether it has been used or not.  This is the cartridge I have. |

Lol, no dirty carpets around that girl Vendor GBTC on bitmit has has found a few things at the right price for me, might be worth asking. I'll give him a shot. Thanks. |

Have at me! I might as well be the first one to get stones thrown at.

I was in a store immediately after the Sandy Hook massacre. There was a woman in there talking on a cell phone. She was being a little loud, and while I wasn't intentionally trying to snoop on her conversation, I couldn't help but hear what she was saying.
"It is hard to get upset about 20 kids getting killed, when 1,000 babies are killed every day in this country because of abortion."
(I don't remember the exact number she said.)
I normally have a pretty relaxed personality, but it really took everything I had from asking that woman if she knew how mentally disturbed she was.
Of course I knew the answer already, she has no idea how screwed in the brain she is.

I buy tons of electronics second hand. Typically these come without the power adapter.
I need to purchase a universal adapter that will allow me to test these items.
Examples of things I receive include cable modems, routers, children's electronics (such as LeapFrog items), old NES & SNES systems, etc.
Something with the most possible "tips" would be great.

I understand difficulty can only increase a maximum of 4x at each adjustment period. Is there a limit on how far difficulty can decrease per adjustment period?

ok thank you so far, I will check the traces. The connection between the keys came from bitmarket.eu data which should be sufficiently acceptable as proof before court. But how accurate is this information? I mean is it SURE that the personal information posted above is PROVABLY connected to the email address? Or was ist just a name search? (I mean I could also easily create an email adress sam.ranking@gmail.com or whatever) Samuel Rankin used that email address you provided to register with Pandora and Vimeo when he was living in Scottsdale AZ. I guess my question is, where did you get that email address from? |

With respect to my post above, I believe I have met the requirements of OP's first post: If you have a hint that discovers the identity of this person so i can get the bitcions back, i offer a reward of 600 BTC or bitcoin equivalent. I relied on the information provided in OP's subsequent post as a starting off point: the hacker also owns the key 1AFs9GrQyPQpN5W73RzizcEap1CQ7whPZT and his "real" email address is sam.rankin@me.comhe used IP address 97.106.160.84 on 2012-10-05 at 20:51:51 he used to mine on deepbit, but they do not hand out any info about their users and do not answer to my mails. Maybe one of your guys are smart enough to get any useful information about this case the 600 BTC reward are still available Everything else was just tracking one lead after another. My analysis being correct, of course depends on OP's statement of his real email address being correct. Here is my bitcoin address: 19GpqFsNGP8jS941YYZZjmCSrHwvX3QjiC I'm very happy to have been able to have helped you |

Extrapolating from the information OP has made public: Samuel Patrick Rankin (about age 41) previously lived in the Scottsdale Arizona area. He works in the field of semiconductors. He has patented a "current to voltage converter" (whatever that means). This same Samuel P. Rankin also attended the University of Nebraska at Lincoln where he studied Physics. The IP address that has been posted, appears to originate out of Tampa, FL. This guy works (or worked) for Linear Technology Corporation and Medtronic, Inc. Those are two companies whom the patents he invented are assigned to. This guy's father is Samuel H Rankin (age 70) and lives in Chadron, NE. Scott Vernon was his co-inventer on one of the patents. Here is his linkedin page with a picture. http://www.linkedin.com/pub/scott-vernon/54/901/b?trk=pub-pbmapHere is Rankin's LinkedIn page but no picture: http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=5046482&authType=name&authToken=gERZ&gobackIt says he still works at Linear Technology. He is a Senior Design Engineer. Corporate Headquarters: 720 Sycamore Dr. Milpitas, CA 95035-7417 Phone: 408-432-1900 He also studied Physics at Arizona State University. Brendan Rankin has extensive experience with FPGAs and ASICs. (Something that might have led him into the bitcoin scene.) His father is dead, and Brendan and Samuel are brothers. Here is his father's obituary: RANKIN, Dr. Samuel H. age 70 of Huber Heights, passed away September 30, 2012. He was born September 25, 1942 in Dayton to the late Samuel H. and Jane E. Rankin. In addition to his parents, Sam was preceded in death by an infant brother, Tom; and grandsons: Remington and Camden Rankin. Sam is survived by his wife of 44 years, Sharon (Altendorf) Rankin, whom he married at Holy Angels Church in Dayton in 1968; children: Brendan (Pilar) Rankin, Sam (Vicky) Rankin, David (Tracy) Rankin and Mary (Aaron) Tucker; grandchildren: Robert, Laura, Allen, Grace, Claire, Lyndsie and Ashton; sisters: Peggy (Tom) Weckesser, Mary Ellen (Robert) Davis, Rita (Kurt) Rinehart and Sally (Don) Carter; many nieces, nephews and dear friends. Sam attended St. Agnes elementary school, Brunnerdale High School Seminary, St. Josephs College in Indiana, University of Wyoming, where he received his Master's Degree in History. He taught high school for one year in Delano, California and one year at Walnut Hills High School in Cincinnati. He completed his PhD in History at Kent State University. At Valley City State College in North Dakota, he served as a Professor of History and then Vice President for Academic Affairs. He served as Vice President for Academic Affairs at Eastern Montana University in Billings, MT. Sam was very proud to lead Chadron State College in Chadron, Nebraska as President for 12 years. During his tenure he was praised and respected for his many accomplishments. He was fortunate to return to his passion of teaching for 9 years before his retirement. Post retirement, he said often that he failed at retirement. He continued to teach online courses in History for Chadron State College and served as consultant for the Higher Learning Commission. He was on the Board of Directors for National American University. Sam was a loving husband, father, grandfather and brother. He was generous beyond his means and was known for his quick wit and dry sense of humor. Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11:00 am on Thursday, October 4, 2012 at St. Peter Catholic Church, 6161 Chambersburg Road, Huber Heights, where the family will receive friends for one hour prior to the service, from 10:00 am to 11:00 am. Father Robert Hadden Celebrant. Contributions may be made in Sam's memory to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, 1500 Rosecrans Avenue, Suite 200, Manhattan Beach, California 90266 or pancan.org. To send a special message to the family, please visit www.NewcomerDayton.comThe obituary points out that Sam now lives in Phoenix with his wife Vicky. Here is his wife's facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/vicky.k.rankinShe graduated from Hanover College in 1993. She donates to the school. Here is their address and property tax information: http://mcassessor.maricopa.gov/Assessor/ParcelApplication/Detail.aspx?ID=214-50-116Looks like their home currently appraises for about $120,000. They purchased it in 1998 for $146,000. Bad investment it looks like. Although that is just the property tax assessment, so the real market value might be much higher. In fact it looks like Zillow puts a value of about $177k on it, and realtor.com puts a value of about $207k on it. http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/1826-E-Sheena-Dr_Phoenix_AZ_85022_M14205-84656?source=webHere's the deed to his house: http://156.42.40.50/UnOfficialDocs/pdf/19980647620.pdfI want to put out the disclaimer: All of this information is freely available on the internet. I have no knowledge of any wrongdoing by this individual, and I am certainly not accusing this individual of any wrongdoing. mralbi asked for information on someone associated with the email address sam.rankin@me.com. All I have done is provide information on whom I believe is associated with this email address. |

I wonder how many people who don't regularly follow this forum or the btcfpga forum, have no idea about what's happening, and therefore have not asked for a refund. You know, the people who trusted the bASIC team and believed their money was in good hands? The people who would never imagine that tom might have "left town".
Law of the jungle and they are just sol? @Sitrow or any of the other bASIC team members: Will all the customers be contacted w/ the advice from the forums that they should ask for a chargeback or is it up to everyone to discover this for themselves and hope there's money left for their own refund?
After I get my refund back, I'll start to worry about them  |
