Probably the limited edition 2013 Red Accord Double Rib. It's sexy as fuck.

Although the 1998 Wilton Skyblue deluxe is considered a classic.
Yeah those are nice, but this one's a real beauty!

Don't use google translate for whole sentences since usually the translated text will not really make any sense. And also please provide evidence for your statement. And don't use bold like that, it makes you sound really angry, so calm down before you get a heart attack!

I don't really know who sings it, but this version is from Assassins Creed IV and is sung in some tavern. Beautiful song really!

It's pretty funny actually, it exists because people are evil. Let me explain this a bit more in-depth. All of us humans are untrustworthy, we all have this darkness inside us, if we are forced, even the most "good natured" person can steal,kill and whatnot. Why do people keep secrets? Because they did something bad. Why the need to lock our doors, keep our "data" safe? Because someone can steal it.

Bitcoin exists because encryption exists, and encryption exists because people were evil and didn't want their war plans to be discovered by the enemy. Get it so far?

Everytime I hear new encryption was discovered, I giggle a bit, because the reason they make encryption/ciphers is because one the first chance they get, humans will compromise some data.
That's a kinda dark view on humanity, isn't it?  Cheesy
But, well, you have a point. But, then, I guess most things can be traced back to selfish purposes if we want to?

If it was on an exchange, then no. In that case you only have yourself to blame for not reading how the purchasing process works.
447  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you plan to deal with your bitcoin in feature? on: November 21, 2013, 10:49:21 AM
Sell some of them when the price gets really high, keep some of them for further profit and spending (at that point Bitcoins has been widely adopted)!
448  Other / Off-topic / Re: What would you do with 25 bitcoins? on: November 19, 2013, 08:34:23 PM
if i'm to be honest, i'd just.. donate 1, and then save the rest. my main goal with BTC is not to be super wealthy, bu to just never have to worry about money again. i'd like to go backpacking through southeast asia/europe/central and south america.. to be free, without worries.. that'd be the life.
Ah, we have the same dreams you and I!  Smiley

600$ on gox!  Grin


Just don't be to hyped about it, as any bubble it will burst in time.
Party pooper!  Sad

No, not really Smiley I'm just realistic, we all know that at least 90% of all bitcoins trades are done solely for "shady" businesses, what will happen if Bitcoin reaches, some magic number of 10.000$ ( that most people here hope it will ). I'm atm holding some 60BTC that I keep just to trade ( buy low, sell high ), that is the amount i am willing to risk. What do you thing will happen when price goes to even few K? Everyone will start to cashout, If you are not lucky enough to be in the top few % who will sell for that you will lose. And keep in mind that someone has to be willing to pay that amount for 1 BTC Smiley
It could be that way, so I hope at the time when 1 bitcoin goes for 10.000$ there will be a bitcoin economy big enough to handle a cash out from all speculators! Smiley

Hey Donnie Love,

I'm experiencing the same exact problem with my Bitcoin-qt wallet here, but on a Mac


I've located the ~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin directory and have come across the folders "blocks," "chainstate," & "database" along with my db.log, debug.log, peers.dat, & wallet.dat

Which of these do i need to change somehow to get it up and running again? DOn't mean to add any clutter, just looking for a simplification of the problem o_0
You can try to delete/move all blkxxx.dat files in the folder "blocks", then it should redownload!
453  Other / Off-topic / Re: ITT we pretend its 1996 on: November 15, 2013, 10:28:43 PM
What do you mean 'google it' ? What's a google  Huh
Yahoo was around back then, though.
And you must not forget AltaVista! Wink


I watched an introduction to internet from 1996. The guy tells us that the term "surf the internet" is very popular, but he prefers to use "navigate the internet" since "surf" sounds like you just sit back, relax and see where you end up, but "navigate" means you have to actively click links and do searches.
His idea never broke through. Atleast I've never heard anyone use the term "navigate the web"! Cheesy

Bitvisitor isn't really worth the effort.
Not at the moment. But in Sweden we have a saying: "What is little today is much tomorrow", and the year I've been in to Bitcoin it has been proven right many times. So take the uBTCs you can get, be happy, and in a couple of years you have become rich! Smiley
455  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin wallet suddenly stopped working on: November 15, 2013, 09:07:15 AM
I did attempt to back up the wallet under File>Backup Wallet. All I got was a text file full of gibberish.

It should be a .dat file named to whatever you want like "BTC-wallet.dat" or something. If it wasn't then something is wrong.
If that is you could just copy the wallet.dat file to another directory.

I don't know where the blockchain is located in Ubuntu. Not a clue.
It's located in the same directory as the peers.dat file. The blkxxxx.dat (replace xxxx with the files names, like blkindex.dat, blk0001.dat) files contains the blockchain. Move them and then it will redownload the blockchain.

I didn't know that 11.10 ever was supported. It sucks and I hate it, but it's the best I can get in my price range.
It became unsupported in May this year. I however liked that distro! But you should really upgrade to at least 12.04 LTS!


Did you try everything in the thread I linked? The last thing posted especially:
I moved my db to a new drive and did a symbolic link and at first it worked then I stopped the bitcoind then started it again and it failed with...

Code:
ubuntu@cs3:~/.bitcoin$ bitcoin server starting


************************
EXCEPTION: 11DbException
Db::open: Invalid argument
bitcoin in AppInit()

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'DbException'
  what():  Db::open: Invalid argument

Not sure whats going on.

I hit this exact same error running on an instance of Ubuntu 12.04. I then checked the debug.log file created in the .bitcoin/ directory and found:

Code:
LoadBlockIndex(): hashBestChain=00000000000001b38e93  height=197280
Verifying last 2500 blocks at level 1
ERROR: CheckBlock() : block timestamp too far in the future
LoadBlockIndex() : *** found bad block at 197280, hash=00000000000001b38e93f02be1f00ae3f39c4ab32dfb989154d38cfce2b29a4a
ERROR: CheckBlock() : block timestamp too far in the future
LoadBlockIndex() : *** found bad block at 197279, hash=0000000000000088246a0a90732f7fca77d0b0087c1997a91311e70a54b33da8
ERROR: CheckBlock() : block timestamp too far in the future

This further led me to discover that my server time was far off the correct time (by several hours!). So I then explicitly set the time via "date -s".

Example: sudo date -s "Tue Sep  4 22:37:51"

Rerunning the bitcoin server after doing that worked great (fixed the problem!).
Try that if you haven't already!
456  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin wallet suddenly stopped working on: November 14, 2013, 09:07:51 PM
You can also try to fix the problem by telling Bitcoin-QT to re-download the blockchain.

How do I do that?

Also, I've tried downloading a newer version, but it doesn't seem to work (or I don't know how to make it work).
You can just delete the blockchain from wherever it's located on ubuntu machines!
You should also backup your wallet as deepceleron said (and try his advices), cannot be stressed enough!

Btw, have you seen this thread? Might help! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=89639.0


And this might be off-topic, but you know that 11.10 is unsupported, right?
457  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: BitVisitor on: November 14, 2013, 06:57:24 PM
I have used BitVisitor for almost a year.  They definitely pay out once you reach threshold. 
Aye! Received a payment like an hour ago!
458  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: BitVisitor on: November 14, 2013, 06:56:40 PM
I've used it for over a year and I haven't had a single problem with it! It works Smiley
They must be paying higher amount a year ago, right ?
Haha, yes! I remember that I didn't visit any sites that paid less than 0.001 BTC, and thought that all advertisers that paid less than 0.004 were cheap! Cheesy

So now I take everything I can, even though it might not seem much right now, because I know it might be worth a lot more later!
Hehe, thats what I think get as much as possible !
So how many BTC did you actually make with a year of FAUCET'ING
Well, the first 3 months I made over 1 BTC using only faucets, giveaways and sites like Bitvisitor. But in total, maybe 1.5 BTC? Wink

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_leak

You could copy your wallet to another computer and move them from there. You can also try to fix the problem by telling Bitcoin-QT to re-download the blockchain.
If it's a hardware problem you have to replace the memory card(s).

Bitcrate has been empty for over a month now, maybe soon it's time to take it of the list? (even though it's been on there for a long time)
