So currently there is no good way to have both fast bitcoin transactions and double spending prevention?
You need a trusted third party for this. If you run a bar & grill and a regular pays you, it's good enough when it shows up on blockchain.info. Of course, this is a person who will eventually forget his wallet and have to go home before he pays a tab, and you will trust him that much anyway. |

Well, I had given up on it months ago. So if I don't get it, oh well.
But, I am holding out some hope since audenx has been holding Roman's feet to the fire, as they say, and there has been some promising progress so far.
On that note, I just checked audenx's Bitcoin Musings page. Didn't see anything new there yet. Anyone know if there's any new news on this yet?
There was news 2 to 3 days ago. Basically, the bank has received a legal opinion that it can open an account and return the funds without needing to obtain it's own KYC/AML documentation. The one concern I have: I can read the language in AudenX's report that all the customers have to fill out the KYC/AML documentation before the disbursement begins. If that is true, one nonconformist yahoo can hold up the wagon train for all the rest of us. |

I was there when she gave the speech. Someone needs to get a transcript of the Q&A because in that she pretty explicitly said miners of bitcoins and creators of virtual currencies need to follow the FinCEN three Rs (registering, reporting and record keeping).
We need a HowTo document. |

Use this
server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=bteuser
rpcpassword=hi
rpctimeout=60
rpcport=7352
port=7353
maxconnections=20
printtoconsole=1
working thanks. (And no I didn't just copy paste the username and PW  ) Good. For a straight copy & paste, the password should be "bye" |

Yes, just like that. If that gets added to the list of delivered or ordered Avalons, we can see if the delivery is following payment time. |

"Order #14xx made on February 18, 2013. Order status: processing."
clearly the order number doesn't mean anything my order was #19xx look at the time you sent the payment to walletbit my email says Date: February 18, 2013 03:24:44 PM The payment order matters, not the order number. Give your payment transaction or block number, then we can tell. |

Received my avalon today and followed the instruction to use an ethernet cable and now I cant access my avalon anymore. Any help would be appreciated.
1. Set your laptop to static IP of 192.168.1.2, mask 255.255.255.0. The 169.254.x.y address says it is configured for DHCP and does not find a DHCP server.2. Connect it to your router, and ping 192.168.1.1. If I understand the thread so far, your router will answer. You now know that the laptop is configured correctly, and also that the router will be a conflict with the 703n failsafe mode. 3. Disconnect the laptop from the router and connect it to the lost Avalon. Avoid the router in this configuration. I believe the 703n auto-senses so you don't have to worry about crossover cables. 4. Start the Avalon, and hold in the button on the TP-Link 703n to achieve failsafe mode (rapid blinking light) 5. The 703n now has address 192.168.1.1. This is the OpenWRT failsafe configuration, it is not on the 192.168.0.x subnet at this point. 6. Ping the Avalon. It should answer. 7. Configure the Avalon as you wish and shut down. 8. Restore the connections to your router. 9. Restore the laptop configuration. 10. Restart the Avalon and the laptop. |

How is "I don't do it" a dodge? |

The only thing that will set him straight is the police at his door with a search warrant.
How would it do that? Because it seems he doesn't realize he's holding onto a million dollars of other people's money. |

It just shows though they have far to much influence on something that was supposed to be decentralised. It also indicates why the stepwise linearity of difficulty is a far less important metric when massive swings in network capacity can and do happen, and how the centralized operations can and will game that. For example, right after a diff. reset, a big operator can bring a chunk of capacity online and jump BpH up to around 8 or more. In fact,the marginal small unit isn't going to contribute in that enhanced bounty, only the centralized power is mathematically positioned to extract that "bonus." Gaming abounds. With regard to this network drop, though, something happened somewhere, I don't think there's any question, and that goes right to the point you made. I am glad to see I am not the only one with concerns. To me the writing is already on the wall I am sorry to say - this is a fatal flaw with Bitcoins and will come to fruition. All anyone would has to do is take down a couple of the big players and that's it - everything will grind to a halt. Happens continuously with the alt currencies. I wonder if the technical solution is to set the difficulty based on the previous 1,600 or so blocks at the time the mining is performed. |

i disagree. i definitely understand the reasoning behind hiring a professional writer in order to get your foot in the door of the college you really want to attend. of course you will have to write your own after this, but this one is significantly more important than all of the others.
Not to mention, we're on the Internet, where information is freely transmitted and can be copied an infinite amount of times, and yet we still find it necessary to pay an institution several thousands to teach us what we would largely learn on our own to begin with, all for a piece of paper that reaffirms that we're this or that because we couldn't figure out if we were or weren't without it, so it seems. How long until we look back at this outdated method of knowledge sharing and laugh at just how much cash was thrown at degrees? Suppose you are really sick, and you have two choices: 1. A physician who learned everything on the internet. 2. A physician who went to class and shaped his ideas in discussion with experienced professors. |

I think everyone agrees, that if mainnet wanted to be used for testing/burn-in, I think Bitcentury's approach with their Bitfury service is pretty smart.
They mine against eligius with the bitcoin sender's address, and they might take a small hosting fee while this is going on.
This is great for everyone:
1) The unit gets tested on mainnet which is where it ultimately will be used.
2) The customer feels good because
2.1) they can see their unit is in the final stages of preparation and they know that shipment is right around the corner
2.2) they get to earn a small amount of btc while still waiting for their machine to ship
3) Producer can earn some additional hosting fees from the customer during the testing phase
4) Lastly and probably best for newbies... it becomes truly a turnkey solution with eligius miner address already configured for customer! Talk about customer service!
Any ASIC manufacturers out there should be learning from this experience (maybe Avalon Batch3?), as this is how you can make get a reputation as being a customer oriented bitcoin company.
I think this is good policy. |

This doesn't pass a basic sanity test.
Check your units.
Er sorry, 21M and $350,000 respectively. What about my units specifically? You are saying that all the gold that has been mined would fit into a ball the size of a melon. There is much more gold than that. Start with your number for the total tonnes of gold from your reference. Then construct the conversion factor. The way I teach this is to write down an equation of two things that are equal, such as x tonnes = y kg Then, for this problem, you want to cancel tonnes. So divide both sides of the equation by "x tonnes" and there you have 1 = (y kg / x tonnes) Multiply your number of tonnes by this conversion factor. I think you will end up with a cube about 0.1 or 0.2 Km on a side. I can believe that number. No, I am saying all the gold that has been mined could be divided into 21 million solid balls of gold with diameter approximately 3.5 inches each. Insinuating that 1 BTC will be worth as much in the not so distant future!  Ah. I see now. |

Maybe I am paranoid: The electric company no longer estimate my bills, which they used to do every other quarter. They send a man round, in a car, to my house, and only to my house, regardless. I get an e-mail once a quarter, asking for a meter reading. It doesn't matter if I give them one or not, someone still comes round to read the meter. I ignore the requests now. A while back, a helicopter kept circling my area, night after night. Cops on push bikes started cycling by, every day. Never seen that before. One time I looked out the window, and cops on foot were staring up at my roof, then walked off.   I'm going to invite them to show & tell. I like that better than a 3AM surprise. |

I think you will be sorely disappointed when you receive a 0.65BTC refund per machine for the coins that Avalon "stole" from mainnet  (780 BTC / 1200 miners ≃ 0.65 BTC/miner) That is if it was only 780 btc... This was just one machine. There is another payment this morning. Do you think they are still mining this one machine after Vicus has control of it? |

Today I finally received my units from Feb. 2 order. One unit was almost clean, while other one is moderate dusty. After checking all connections and desoldering F1 fuse, I started to configure units. First unit has been tuned to ozco.in and that is not surprise, cos same config was on my unit from batch one. Second unit has more interesting config: http://puu.sh/3hrak.pngAs you can see, first pool is eligius.st and most important is address: https://blockchain.info/address/1AYdAw8CcrQ2wx55LTbFHRn5bxgNZhaRLW?offset=0&filter=0716.40851602 BTC was mined from April 22 by various units. And only gods know, how much was mined on ozco.in. So, regardles what said Yifu, the answer is: YES, Team Avalon is mining with customer units.PS: I'm don't have any problems with fact, that Avalon is mining with my units, if this is burn test and not introducing shipment delays. Does your tracking information tell when the unit left Avalon's control? May 24 Is there an SSH key in dropbear? |

Hello everyone,
I need a college admissions essay written (~600 words) and I am willing to pay BTC for it. I would like to have something that is creative and inspiring, so I am willing to give you a decent amount of time (a couple weeks if necessary). We can discuss more details later, but I will pay at least $40-$50 in BTC for quality work. If you're interested, please let me know through PM or by posting on this thread.
Prompts:
1. Some students have a background or story that is so central to their identity that they believe their
application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.
2. Recount an incident or time when you experienced failure. How did it affect you, and what lessons
did you learn?
3. Reflect on a time when you challenged a belief or idea. What prompted you to act? Would you
make the same decision again?
4. Describe a place or environment where you are perfectly content. What do you do or experience
there, and why is it meaningful to you?
5. Discuss an accomplishment or event, formal or informal, that marked your transition from
childhood to adulthood within your culture, community, or family.
Thanks.
Why not write your own? |

Now Avalon is getting messy, very messy, my my they can't even get all their orders in sequential number, even 8 year kids could do that .. all their email and orders have a date from all the orders were received, talk about support and admin work they are probably at par with butterfly. Don't tell me engineers can do simple support and admin work? The delay was blame on this and that but now should blame it on your guys doing the mining on your customer miners. in future every customers of yours should provide a unused pool accounts for you to test the machines, so all the benefit should go to them.
I thought they were going to ship in payment order, not by order number. I haven't found any list of block number vs shipping date anywhere so I can check this. |
