i like the idea of earning by skill, instead of just dumb luck(like in casinos, lotteries, ...)

suggestion: maybe you should make it less expensive to play... like 0.003 per kill. also a smaller fee 10% is just too high...
that way you will get more gaming and fun out of it, and in the end more money Smiley

The idea that old software is inherently better is bogus. Software doesn't age like a fine wine. Unless a software project is completely hosed new versions are less buggy than old versions. Regressions happen, but they should be rare.

It's also worth remembering that even in the case of the worst bugs possible that completely break the network, you can issue another auto update that fixes things again. It's only if you break the software and the update mechanism simultaneously that problems start.

Bitcoin is a system where people need to upgrade from time to time for the good of the network, this is especially true for people who are mining or who could benefit from upgraded security features. Auto update is absolutely essential for these people.
the argument for not auto updating is that it gives a higher diversity in the network, which i think is good.
in my opinion does more diversity mean harder to attack, and new bugs have less impact.

that was theymos's point too.


people who mine or need security features, would naturally keep themselfs updated, they don't need auto-update, they are tech people.
1245  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Satoshi client auto update on: June 16, 2012, 08:45:35 AM
so you want someone, to be able to download and execute unknown code on my machine. FUCK NO!

if you want this less secure auto-update feature, you must fork the code. and i will not use your code.

I, for one, am happy that positions will be liquidated around $5. That was the price when this shit happened, so it's reasonable. Plus, I have a short there Cheesy

Obviously you took a bad position so fuck you hahaha, just kidding

Long should be liquidate NOW at market price and shorts at a convenient time ($ 5)

Zhoutong's opinion was "all short positions can liquidate at 4.94".

Current positions will all be liquidated at a settlement price. We haven't decided the price yet, but my personal estimate is 4.98 / 4.94. (All long positions can liquidate at 4.98 and all short positions can liquidate at 4.94, we pay the spread for you.) All unrealized P/L will be settled in USD. If you don't have sufficient USD balance, we will use your BTC to settle, with the mid-point exchange rate (again, we pay the spread).

I have my pass written on a paper in my wallet so i know its correct. No reply to my last email i sent to them. WTF is going on? As patient as I normally am, I am getting pissed!
chill, we all are. they are bad at handling PR.

Not all the password hashes exist. Only a few of them. That's why it says no password hash found. The record is not an old record but simply a recent sample of a random bunch of users. It does not matter how old your account is.

Just tried the email and it seems to work fine for me.
my account has been validated by password, and i got a mail earlier from you(genjix at riseup dot com), saying that my claim has been accepted/validated, and that you would pay me out.

question: WHEN?
1250  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcoin too slow for many transactions on: June 12, 2012, 09:38:47 PM
this has already been discussed to length in other threads.

people for slowcomfirm: bank transfers are slower. slow confirm makes bitcoin more secure, and reduces spam.
people for fastconfirm: creditcards are faster. fast confirm makes bitcoin more liquid, smooth.

I'm not asking for anything. Just for a confirmation of username.

If you are not willing to proceed then this thread will be screwed.

Please contact Bitcoinica Consultancy for refund. They will definitely honor your claim.

You're allowed to communicate with me only after they reject your claim for any reason.

For others:
Please don't waste time (unless you want to play, like me) on someone who displayed explicit unwillingness to co-operate with the settling party to recover funds.

Tong Zhou, The reason I can not and will not tell you what my username is, quite simple.

If I tell or confirm my username, you or someone will then see that I am also a very trusted seller at a very important site, and this is information I do not want anybody to know. Please respect my privacy.

Because I do understand that it makes it difficult to confirm without a username, I went out of my way to prove that You Ryan Tong Zhou, know that Maria has an account with you since the beginning, you have solved problems and paid out Bitcoins in the past without any problems.

You insist to push the responsibility to these new "owners" who bought bitcoinica from you. How much did they pay you?

@bruno Sorry do not know his partners.

Maria.

I forgot your username, sorry. The last time we ever communicated about Bitcoinica account was almost 8 months ago.

Now I can only assume that this is a scam, unless you are willing to tell me something, either via post, email or PM.

I have absolutely no information about your account balance until you can confirm the username or email.

The only username that I think that could be you at the moment is: 2122397500

Should I (or someone) do a search about it to see if it's linked to a trusted seller on some website? If yes then I can get you refunded immediately based on the balance in record (which roughly matches your claim).
no 2122397500 is me Tongue

(i want the bitch's money!)

OK. PM me the email address registered with that your name and I will fill in the missing claim.
i can haz bitch's money, yes?

( i have found some threat talking on cgminer installation but i cant make it work as i have already download and extract on desktop and i just dont know how to install )

and i need to put a .bat file on desktop so i can open it easily

2) install best driver for 5850 driver maybe ati 11.11 ?

3) Install devcoin client on ubuntu on 12.04LTS

any help would be appreciated !
can you provide ssh or vnc access?

I was under the impression scrambling is just a measure to prevent anyone from just "listening in" by turning on their ham radio--I'm talking about the following

Digital Represented values are encrypted into a Digital format by a key the receiver already knows.
The digital encrypted message is converted into analog values that are represented by a key table that the receiver already knows.
Now the sender broadcasts the message in analog(sound/light spectrum) but it isn't represented with two values, instead it is represented by the whole analog spectrum.
The receiver decodes the analog signal with a key table... Then decrypts the signal into digital represented values.

Im not sure what my "theory" would make the broadcast sound like to a listener but at least it doesn't sound like off and on ticks and thus the FCC would get a signal but it would be static... so the FCC could prove a signal is coming from somewhere but not know why they are broadcasting static Tongue (of course im still assuming my broadcast would sound like static or weird noises of some sort... makes me want to try it out...)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrambler
Wikipedia gives me the impression scrambling is just packets of analog signals moved in different positions in the timeline where the reciever has a decoder that buffers packets and then puts them in the correct order for play back.

I'm interested in your opinion because you seem to know what your talking about.
i don't think you can do that losslessly. there needs to be some kind of binary system in it, so you can make it digital again.

You just need to quantize it, not necessarily binary.  For example you could take each byte of binary data, and map it onto an analog signal.  The low end of the signal would be 0 and the high end would be 255.  Of course, you will need redundant transmission and error correction because your analog signal will get distorted by noise.  The more bits you map to each analog value, the more problems you will have with errors.
exactly what i was talking about. i just could not put it into words. would such signal be detectable because of the "hops", like there is only 34 and 35 but not 34,5. would it not leave a empty "space" between 34 and 35?

would the Ellet be able to talk the Bitcoincard protocol.  That's the real question.
I don't see how anything standard would be able to talk to that non-standard device. I guess we could go out of our way to add specific hardware to our device that would allow it to talk to bitcoincard, but I don't see any company would do that that didn't have a contract directly with the other company. Put in other words, do iPhones have built in receivers for ham radio?


Technically, yes they do.  A standard wifi chip is capable of transmitting & receiving in the nearby ham band (I beleive 70cm band IIRC) and use of these features require a ham callsign to be transmitted with the SSID.  There are two channels available, and are traditionally called Zero and -1, since they are on that side of the unlicensed wifi band.  Unlockling these capabilities, at a minumum requires rooting your phone, though.  In the ham world, this is commonly called the 'Hinternet'.  Google is your friend.
I have found nothing on google about "iphone" and "hinternet" Sad

Also, the FCC doesn't allow encryption.  I know the standard bitcoin protocol doesn't use encryption, but does the ellet's use of the electrum protocol?

Now I really want to get out my HAM equipment.

I'm interested in see facts about the FCC not allowing encryption.
Also How would they prove the "static" they are hearing is encrypted code awaiting to be decrypted?
i think you would still be able to hear 1&0's. it would not be static.

Depends if you sent the values in analog or digital format Wink
true, but not if its encrypted. encrypted means digital.
if your gonna obfuscate analog signals, its called scrambling. Wink
