Have you had any communication with cuddlefish recently? I understand that he had major computer problems recently and may not been fully operational for a few days yet.

The latest CGMiner Windows executable fails to start mining giving these errors Error: clSetKernelArg of all params failed.
Thread 0 failure, exiting
Error: clSetKernelArg of all params failed.
Thread 1 failure, exiting
et cetera et cetera... My GPU threads were constantly sick and dying. I had to revert to an earlier version. Something might be wrong with this latest build. The latest windows build works okay for me, what hardware and software configuration do you have? Win7 x64 Nvidia Drivers: 275.33 Edit: I just looked and there are updated drivers out right now. Will see if that makes a difference. AMD Phenom 9750 Nvidia Gefoce 9600 Nvidia Geforce 9500 Impressive, no? |

Okay so I had some generous people offer me BTC online to get the windows binary version working, and I DID see someone offer a BTC bounty to get the windows binary working, so I've fluffed around for the last 2 days on a windows virtual machine to build some win32 binaries. http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/cgminer-1.5.4-win32.zipHopefully people appreciate the effort. Actually the only binary that works correctly with CPU mining (for me at least) is 1.4.1. 1.5.1 only generates stales for me. And 1.5.4 doesn't work at all with any of the algo's. When I compile it for windows myself I do have the 4way algo, but it also crashes, so Ycros must have some magic wand to make it work or something like that. I've been noticing the same thing. Guess I'll have to use a different miner for cpu. |

What happened to 4way algo?
Edit: Actually a lot of cpu algorithms aren't working. Does an x64 version need to be compiled for them to work?

Thanks, looking forward to some useful clients now.

Show them the Money Masters video.  And then the Zeitgeist documentaries. |

Or you could just tell them that it's money for smart people and that they wouldn't be interested.

It is certainly a difficult task because money isn't useful or a positive force in the world to begin with. Everyone I've tried to evangelize BTC to has been burned by Mybitcoin or plagued with false virus warnings.

I've discussed a similar idea, except the content isn't hidden behind a paywall. Instead, the client stores the number of times you've viewed a website/article and keeps a running total, and then lists all the various participating websites that you can donate to based on how much of their content you've actually consumed. Totally opt in and voluntary instead of intrusive and exclusionary. Still, any progress is good progress.

This is a great idea and I hope it catches on. I think a p2p strategy in all aspects of BTC is a good one. Well done!

Ok, we replace 1000 farmers for 50 farmers and 5 engineers .
Can't all these 945 people do anything of value for those 55?
In a monetary system, they can either die or do increasingly menial, repetitive, unproductive, demeaning or otherwise slavish labor in their own or foreign land. |

Why would others be different?
Let me assure you that other people are not exactly like you. You, presumably having spent your entire life being subject to the dominant culture of the monetary system and its affects, are conditioned to believe that you will only do things for money, but I am fairly certain that you have not been in such a position. You most likely would not spend your time the way you have described. I don't know of anyone who is happy to be idle or completely self indulgent all or even most of the time. With relevant values, you almost certainly would not. |

Just had a thought/realization about this. There are people who live on welfare and food stamps, and have for generations. There are whole communities of people like that around the world. They live within the main aspects of RBE, having food and shelter provided to them, and not having to worry about anything, with having plenty of time to devote themselves to whatever they want. Why is it that those people generally don't do anything other than waste time in front of a TV or video games, don't study anything at all, have no drive to learn any employable skills, and generally don't do anything that leads to "an engaging, dynamic, fulfilling and rewarding experience?" Why would a society living under an RBE system not end up just like our welfare communities?
Interesting while in fact there is some problem with the people you describe , why i dont know i would guess it is more complex then you describe it , but on the other hand i know plenty that educate them-selves by their own free choice beside work in useful subjects like informatics , engineering just because they like it. Beside i dont care about people that "waste time in front of a TV or video games" it is their life to waste as long as they dont cause problems , isn't it true freedom that you are you so preciously strive for ? My friend and classmate graduated with a degree in teaching and english, and came from that type of background, so yeah, there are some people (mainly kids) who want to get the heck out of there. But I suspect they're in the minority. But the problem is, they're not wasting their life, they're wasting other people's lives by taking other people's inputs (wealth workers produced and partially paid back in taxes) and turning it into nothing. So, they don't have freedom; they are dependent on other's for survival, and contribute very little in return. But the main point is still, why won't an RBE society end up with a vast majority of the population being lazy and doing nothing, while being stuck dependent on the few people/machines that are actually producing something? Also, is the luxury cruise ship from Wall-E an example of RBE? Cause that sounds like what you, and I, are describing here. I doubt that you actually believe that the only thing that motivates you or anyone you know is money. If you consider the vast majority of actions that you and your friends and family take, you would probably realize that they are not a part of profitable endeavors. In fact, you might even realize that money related activities are what you engage in less willingly and joyfully than other activities. We function as a society in spite of the monetary system, not because of it. The fictional characters and situations in Wall-E bear no resemblance to the ideas of an RBE. However, the ending is indicative of the desire to return to understanding, caring for and learning to live on our planet intelligently. |

Ok, HOW will resource management be done if no one wants to do the hard work of learning it?
Your premise is incorrect. People are willing to engage in useful activity. What makes "learning hard" is the attendant pressures of having to worry about the necessities of life, social status, contrived and exaggerated crises and myriad other irrelevant issues that cloud our social and cultural structures. A monetary system demanding infinite growth demands an even greater attention span, and thus makes learning a stressful non-essential activity as opposed to an engaging, dynamic, fulfilling and rewarding experience that it is. This doesn't even consider the contrived competitive nature of our current educational system and the untold stresses of trying to game that system to advance academically, socially and financially.

Why would a society living under an RBE system not end up just like our welfare communities? Thank you for thinking. Unfortunately your premises are incorrect yet again. No one receiving welfare, food stamps or other forms of monetary assistance is in any way "living within the main aspects" of an RBE. They are still restricted by the social order, institutions, choices and opportunities confined to our monetary system. An RBE is not just handing people a pittance to barely survive on. It is an integrated system that revolutionizes every aspect of civilized life and encourages people to reach their highest potential. There is no such focus in our current society. |

Excuse my ignorance for not reading through this thread. I just happened to see that someone had written that "education is hard work." I had to snicker at that. I'll allow a caveat for the 'hard' sciences (i.e. those requiring extreme mathematical precision).
Meh, reading one or two EXTREMELY dull and boring 27 page business cases every day, because you have to if you want an understanding of the subject and a nice degree to go with it, is hard work too. Though most of the work performed is for staying awake and not zoning out. An example of the tedious and unnecessary work being done in service to a monetary system. It is most likely not relevant to sustaining life or the environment. Yeah, because business is ALL about money, and in NO WAY about resource management. Who will manage the resources in your Resource Based Economy? Artists and poets? The important question is how, not who.
