You should publish the source code of the .exe you made, otherwise it's way too time consuming the verify it's legal. The only way to test it now is by reverse engineering your code, verify everything, double check it doesn't make connections to the internet, etc. Very few people can do this, even "normal" programmers probability won't be able to verify it 100%. So yeah, this shouldn't be trused.
Again, release the source code so we can review it and compile it ourselves.
This x 1000 Otherwise its just another homeless guy on the street asking to inspect your wallets contents. Seems legit right? |

Is there some sort of setting to NOT print out these client stats on top of everything else? I really like the easy config and backups and whatnot, but having the client spam on top of everything is not what I want.

Sorry, but no chance of a market price buy it now. Past research shows that eBay users are willing to pay as much as a 40% premium for BTC.
They bid over 40% because they can issue a chargeback risk-free, and get your BTC for free. DONT. USE. PAYPAL. FOR BTC. EVER. |

So, you're selling digital currency on the mothership platform of the company that will pay you and ultimately reverse those funds? Man, I wish I was a scammer at heart because I could have a field day with people like you. Since I am not, i'd highly advise you remove that listing and make a new paypal account immediately. |

Whoever the site operator of bitcoinmarket is must be the most ignorant asshole in the world to "close registration" but allow any jackass able to post on a forum to join. Enjoy your haven for scammers...

I recognize that set, I think i know where you got them  I would like to throw in my 2 here and say that these picks are great for beginners. I have successfully picked a variety of low-to-mid security locks with them, including a masterlock #3 and various locks on things like bulletin boards, "luggage locks" etc... The set could really use a rake to handle modern locks, but its a great start. Dont expect to be able to pick any vehicle locks or doublesided ones without the proper rake/tools. |

I bought a product from this site and received it successfully. Very well packaged (box was open, nothing missing etc, so im assuming it was for testing) Thanks for a great transaction. Site operator is very communicative (slight issue from the surge of demand, but remedied and was very up front about it). I will certainly buy more in the future. So, 10/10 |

I would like to pop into this to say that using paypal for btc is not advisable. You will likely get your account frozen, and the amount charged back to you. Anyone using paypal to buy BTC can simply dispute the transaction and paypal will automatically refund them. Please use alternative measures.

Buying dry ice to use as a long term cooling solution sounds about as practical as buying hot coffee frequently, to fill your radiators with, to heat your home in the winter.  Couldnt have said it better myself. And, STARBUCKS, at that. |

Honestly you'd have to be very lucky to find radeons and the like in these. However, older towers in a junk pile somewhere might be a treasure trove for mining operations. Mining activities really do not require almost anything as far as hard drive space, motherboard specs, processor specs, or RAM. Old discarded stuff is a great candidate for a rig. And hey, free case  |

I think you could not really pull a GPUminer on bots - that usually need drivers installed correctly etc and it really slows down system performace - I think it would slow down their computers too much so most of the victims would simply buy new hardware.
However, I'm administering a Computer pool with 80 machines here for work, and thos machines have to stay on at night but theres no one being able to use them, so what I can tell:
CPU: Intel Q6600 -> 4 MHash/s/Machine
GPU: GF 8800 GT -> 25 MHash/s/Machine
that makes roughly between 25 and 30 MHashes per machine, for me it's about 2GH/s, but of course a large scale bot network could do much better.
If using poclbm, use the flag -f120 or -f180 It will assign mining a super low priority in comparison to anything else that is requesting GPU resources. I can game perfectly well with it on. Dropd to about 40% of my hashing potential, and when idle i get about 3-5% lower hash. |

So transaction fees are collected by the block originator for all transactions occurring during that block cycle? is that correct?
Pretty much. When you "solve" a block, you get to decide what transactions go into that block. As a default, nodes accept any tx with a fee, and a limited space for free transfers. You can modify this however, to say, only include transactions with fees. The freeloaders will have to wait for the next block solver... (or indefinitely, if you keep solving them! ) |
|
|
|

Nope. The person who generates the block, includes (whatever they feel like / are programmed to include) transactions that are then verified by everyone else. The transactions contained in the block generated, have their fees given to the person who solved the block.
So, for now, solving a block is a "bounty" of 50BTC, plus tx fees. The 50 btc bounty shrinks over time, and will eventually reach zero, and the tx fees will sustain the network. That "50 btc bounty" is the way BTC "prints money". Eventually that goes away and all the coins ever to be in circulation are in circulation.

@bullox: Fair critique, and certainly SR's maiden trip through the media certainly left the impression with lots of people that bitcoin was simply synonymous with drugs. And perhaps SR, as it was known, may need to quietly wind down or transition into something else.
But I have to ask the following two questions:
1. Isn't there an inherent value to an electronic currency to have a large population of users who don't have an incentive to manipulate the currency or otherwise introduce fraud into the system? Miners have an incentive to promote the currency, in the hope of running up the exchange value of the coins they mine at an arbitrage to the actual cost (50 BTC - electricity - user time - computer expenses...) Large holders of the e-currency have an incentive to hype the currency, also to boost the value of their holdings. Both groups potentially have an incentive to defraud the system to gain a larger exchange value for their holdings. But large groups of people only using the currency for "normal" transactions serve to introduce stability to the economy as a whole. How is this different from tourists flying to Amsterdam, exchanging cash into euros, spending 3 straight days higher than a kite in every coffeeshop in town, and then exchanging those euros back into their home currency before the flight home?
2. Wouldn't generating, and informally peer-reviewing, ideas to improve SR also serve to improve the concept of any anonymous marketplace to follow after SR? Demand for illegal drugs just happens to be one of the most commonly pursued "anonymous" transactions, and it's hard enough to do in the non-virtual world that a critical mass of people are eager to try an online experiment to see if it works. Rather than discourage improving upon this first effort, wouldn't it be better for the community to rapidly evolve the concept of a truly anonymous online marketplace so that it doesn't just have to encompass drugs?
Don't get me wrong, I agree with you that as an anonymous currency, this is the ideal method of payment for such goods. They probably should (and will) stick around. My issue is that every highly publicized "illegal" (and I use this term only in the definition of the law, not the merit) merchant out there sets us back 100 steps for every step the legitimate merchants take forward. Public Relations is the name of the game right now to continue bitcoins extended future. As long as there is forward momentum, all is well, but if we are taking more steps back then forward.... |

Thank you. Is there any further documentation on these nodes you could refer me to?
Yep, visit the mining forum on this board. Everyone there is contributing to a node or being their own node. |
|
|

guess i'll have to wait till tomorrow to see if i actually get my coins.
Oh no, if you purchased BTC, and they showed up in your client, they're yours. The seller is the one at extreme risk here. Paypal is waging war against BTC, freezing assets. |
|
|

I had this question as well. Can some one explain to me in detail where these transaction fees go?
Transaction fees go to the person operating a bitcoin node (colloquially referred to as "miner"). In reality, there are not many people operating nodes by themselves and instead provide their computing power to a pool of others. In the current state of the BTC economy, the pools simply keep the fees as operating expenses (see:profit) but as BTC matures, the incentive to contribute computing power to the BTC network will slowly narrow in on those fees as the main prize. We shall see where our market model takes us in that time. |

I'd like to thank it for its service in injecting capital into the BTC economy, and for being a significant contributer to the growth of times past.
That being said, I'd also like them to quietly close shop and not come back. I feel that BTC has hit critical mass enough to sustain itself without it's trade, and the battles to be fought in the roads ahead are about legitimacy of BTC. Silk road undermines that by being a tremendous skeleton in the closet.
