I'm not entirely sure about armory, but as for .bitcoin, yes, you can just copy the entire .bitcoin folder.

There's only one caveat: ABSOLUTELY NO ON-TOPIC POSTING!!!
If the topic is the lack of a topic, aren't all off-topic posts actually on-topic?



Guess we need even more chaos to ensure the thread doesn't stay on any topic then. So anyone has a completely weird and out of place response?

It's funny how it's gotten to the point that I can tell a dank post from a non-dank post just by the title.

I love the Logitech F310. Very similar to (fully compatible with) X360. Only differences are:
- D-pad on left with two analogs in middle, like Playstation controllers.
- Corded (long cord, unless you're using it on an HTPC the cord is probably more convenient because you don't have to change batteries. USB controllers are also universal, so I don't have to worry about getting it to work on Linux through a whole convoluted process like I would with an Xbox controller)
- Analog sticks are also buttons (Xbox might have this too, never used one)

Nice weight, perfect grip. I almost want to buy like five of these so I have backups in case they go out of production.

Do you release information about vulnerabilities once they're fixed, or is obscurity safer in this case?
188  Other / Meta / Re: Why on earth is bitcointalk running adds for a pyramid scheme ? on: March 13, 2014, 12:29:40 PM
When you get down to it, ponzi schemes are just a form of gambling that's illegal for the sole reason that they're usually masked as a legitimate investment. "Ponzi" has such a negative connotation, anyone who uses "ponzi" in their name obviously isn't trying to get users to think they can "triple their money with no risk" or any of that bullshit.

Seems strange that in addition to custom avatars, they also got rid of the 20 or so "generic" ones with Bitcoin logos, etc. Can theymos not trust himself not to exploit the site?  Wink

I get it once or twice a day, just refresh and it loads. Not a huge problem in my case.
191  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: New to Bitcoin ? 5 Bitcoin Mistakes you Should Avoid on: March 13, 2014, 12:06:03 PM
Nice info in general, but for number 2 I would say "Keeping All of Your Bitcoins in One Place, Period". No matter your experience level, but especially for newbies, it's best to assume that whatever security you have in place could be broken or worked around, and to keep at least two stashes on different devices. The only Bitcoins that are 100% secure are ones on an encrypted paper wallet with keys generated on a device that never has and never will access the internet, with a hardware random number generator, keys written down by hand instead of printed.
192  Other / Off-topic / Re: Will girls ever like bitcoin? on: March 13, 2014, 11:58:29 AM
Right now it's mostly a nerd thing, so you have the same thing as video games: 90% males, 8% females (top half of the image, see all the "girls gone bitcoin" subreddits), 2% females (bottom half of the image).

Once it becomes more mainstream, it will be popular with both sexes as the dollar.
193  Economy / Service Discussion / Mt. Gox Cold Storage? on: March 13, 2014, 11:51:28 AM
If I remember correctly, Mt. Gox claimed to have 90-something percent of their Bitcoin in cold storage, just like Coinbase, right? Was this just an outright lie? Or am I remembering incorrectly?
194  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: HOW DO I GAIN TRUST on: March 13, 2014, 11:48:06 AM
Same was as real life: make trades and don't scam.
Also, DON'T USE ALL CAPS, NOTHING SAYS NIGERIAN PRINCE LIKE ALL CAPS.
195  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Say NO to GMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! on: March 13, 2014, 11:43:37 AM
Genetic modification in and of itself is not a bad thing. The problem is that companies like Monsanto use a combination of GMO and lobbying to keep their Roundup racket going no matter the outcome, even if it ends up being harmful.
To be honest, I'd be more concerned about rBST. We know little about the process of FDA approval of Roundup Ready seeds, but we know for sure that the approval of rBST was rushed, and the FDA could have very well been paid off or mislead.
196  Bitcoin / Mining / Small-scale solo miners... on: March 13, 2014, 11:32:21 AM
Have you ever gotten extremely lucky when mining? A block found with a CPU in the age of GPUs, two blocks in a day when you make BTC0.5/month, or something else that's statistically near-impossible?

Codenamed Corona, this laser-powered contraption would handle 10 trillion floating points operations a second. In other words, if you put just five of them together, you’d approach the speed of today’s supercomputers. The chip’s 256 cores would communicate with each other at an astonishing 20 terabytes per second, and they’d talk to memory at 10 terabytes a second.
The question isn't necessarily how fast it can compute anything, it's how fast it can compute SHA256. By the time this is out, there will be better ASICs that will be faster for mining than this thing.

Part of me feels like this should be in the loans board, the other part feels like it started in the loans board and was moved here because it was so outrageous.
199  Other / Off-topic / Re: Anime is weird made for weirdos on: March 13, 2014, 03:09:23 AM
I used to like Anime but now it looks weird and feels weird. Like the old stuff like Kenshin was bad ass but all this new stuff Is ghay and weird.

I went to an anime convention and almost puked at the number of people telling me SOMETHING SOMETHING ISTINDAYO TADAIMASU GUZAIMASUU BLAH BLAH JACKFRUIT then they put a kawaiii look on their face right after that and a victory sign emulating anime characters

Well FUCK U
cosmyflyはばかです

I bet u go to those cosplay conventions wearing only an underwear
Pretty sure that's not allowed. What are you basing this hypothesis on?

1. All pools so far have acted very professionally when it comes to avoiding 51%, going so far as to intentionally detract miners to stay under 50%
2. A 51% attack would not destroy the network. It could be a relatively minor inconvenience, but as soon as it happens nearly everyone would leave the pool within 20 minutes and it would return to normal instantly.
