Whitelist Requests (Want out of here?)

[kingbc]

Request to be white listed.

I would like to learn and contribute in the other sections. I deal in virtual currency (runescape gold) and would like to get the community to move toward BTC. Thanks,

I request to be whitelisted. I'm interested in posting in the political sub forum, but this internet censorship is curbing that.

I have excellent grammatical skills, and I've got credentials in social science that would be of good use in a political discussion board on a newish forum looking to grow its member base. Let me in, and I'll give you some political dissections that will leave you hot and bothered.

Request Whitelist.

I'm requesting the whitelist because I'm being asked to provide logs about FooDSt4mP in the thread he started yesterday. They are irc logs from #bitcoin- channels in freenode, that show FooDSt4mP making various claims. In short, I have helpful information to contribute to that thread in particular.

However, I also want to be able to interact on the forums in general, and I read many threads here, usually when I see links in irc.

I only ask for the whitelist because the information I have might be timely. I don't have a horse in the race either way (I haven't done trades with FooDSt4mP, nor with any who have a problem with him, nor do I really know any of those who have a problem with him who are commenting in the thread). I only have some content to offer. so if you can even provide a limited whitelist for that one thread only, that's fine, I will take my time and earn my rights in the rest of the forum.

If you deny this request, so be it, and no problem. but I hope you grant it.

Thanks and have a nice day.

So we have to prove we have Bitcoin mojo then?

Here goes:

I'm currently running 2 mining rigs (~2500 MH/s) comprised of the following:

- 5 Sapphire HD5830 radeon cards. Settings (core @ 875 Mhz, Memory @ 300 Mhz, Volage @ 1.125 V)
- I'm running linuxcoin v.2a. I use phoenix 1.48 -k phatk and mine about 1.7 BTC a day.
- I use Deepbit's pool because the variance is greater than 20 days for me. Darn that difficulty!
- 1 GB RAM
- AMD Sempron 140. Don't need more cores unless you use Windows. An apparent OpenCL bug in the driver affects each core in a windows set-up. This can be fixed by setting the affinity to the first core, as each card seems to max the CPU core.
- A Gigabyte GA-770T USB3 (4 PCIe x1 + 1 PCIe x16 expansion slots)
- 2 x 650 W PSU's with grounds tied together. The 12V rails are tied together on one, but refused to play nicely on the other. My one GPU hit almost 127 C before it shut down. Yikes, toasty hot.
- 5 PCIe x1 flexible ribbon cable riser cards. These serve 2 purposes. To fan out the cards and keep them cooler, and also to reach all of the PCIe expansion slots, as the cards overlap adjacent connectors. I could have used a x1 to x16 riser card, but they were a little more expensive. Shoulda done it. It's a hassle to grind the connectors down.
- I had to cut slots in the female end of the riser cards connector so I could connect the x16 interface of the GPU cards to the x1 interface on the motherboard
- I'm aware of the PCIe x1 interface multi protocol issue (x1, x4, x8, x16). Some mobo's need A1 to be shorted to B17 on the connector for the communication to negotiate correctly. I just shorted B17 to B16 together because they share the same potential.
- Windows operating systems have better overclocking tools than Linux (MSI Afterburner, Trixx). They also have better miner GUI tools. Linux has more flexibility, and is slightly cheaper. It's a tradeoff.
- I've read read Satoshi Nakamoto's P2P crypto currency whitepaper. Very creative.
- My laymans version of what bitcoin is: It's like gold without the physical intrinsic nature of the gold itself.
- I'm aware that the Mt. Gox hack had nothing to do with the bitcoin protocol being compromised despite what the yellow journalistic pundits said to the contrary.

Hi, I have an idea for a bitcoin use that I was hoping to load to the project development section, or where ever you may think it's best located.

Here's my idea and what I was hoping to post:-

Use Bitcoins During Login to Make Brute Force Attack Expensive to the Hacker.

The use of bitcoins during a login process could be used to make life more difficult for hackers that use a brute force attack to access an online account. Here are my initial thoughts on how it could be implemented.

User signs up for an account in the usual way, eg user name, password etc, but is also asked for a bitcoin address.

When the user comes to log in to their account the user gives name and password as usual. They are then asked to deposit X bitcoins to an address of the website provider.

User name and password are then verified, along with verification that the requested deposit has been made.

If user name or password are invalid or the deposit has not been made, the user is denyed access.

If the user name is valid the deposited bitcoins are returned to the registered users registered bitcoin address. If not, the bitcoins stay with the website owner.

What a valid user would see is that they pay out X bitcoins but immediately get them returned. If someone is trying to get into their account, they would see a nice little bitcoin bonus being paid to them everytime the hacker tries a new password.

This method would cost a hacker everytime they attempted to break in, thereby detering brute force attacks on websites, with no prospect of ever getting the bitcoins back.

Depending on the sensitivity of the account being protected, could determine the size of the bitcoin deposit to be made each time.

I realise there may be problems with this method, the main one I can think of is the time delay between sending the bitcoins for login and getting a confirmation that allows access.

Anyone wanting to develop a service around this idea, feel free, I'm putting this idea out there to help encourage the use of bitcoins.


Hope this meets with approval.

I have never posted on a forum before, so I'm not sure if that immediately disqualifies me from being whitelisted.

My reason for creating this account: I was reading a (sarcastic) post on the economics forum discussing how we should move from a free market to a "fair" market.  One of the replies to the post stated that the author remembered a wonderful story in which beautiful people were forced to wear masks (among other burdens) to equalize everyone in society.  He said that he couldn't remember the name of the story.  The story (I assume) he is recalling is one of my favorites.  The post I was planning to write in response is below:

"The year was 2081, and everybody was finally equal.  They weren't only equal before God and the law.  They were equal every which way.  Nobody was smarter than anybody else.  Nobody was better looking than anybody else.  Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else.  All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General..."
-"Harrison Bergeron" in Welcome to the Monkeyhouse, by Kurt Vonnegut

A great read for one and all!

End post.

As far as bitcoin is concerned, I do not own any (other than a freebie from the faucet).  I have been reading about it quite extensively and am planning to invest if the price falls.  However, I am more interested in the social and economic implications of the cryptocurrency concept rather than the woes and triumphs of bitcoin itself.  I have read the white paper (by Nakamoto), and understand the concept behind it but not the technical implementation (I know C++ but have no experience with computer networking and large projects in general).  My greatest concern is with the 10 minute block verification time (could affect point of purchase transactions) as well as the scalability of the system.  I would estimate I've spent about 20 hours reading about bitcoin over the past two weeks.  I primarily want this account to make the above post, but might make future posts if I feel I have something to contribute or need clarification on a topic I cannot find an answer to.

I would like to request to be whitelisted.

I'm excited to contribute to the other areas of the forum. I recently came across the Bitcoin Forum last week and have been reading everyday since then. Today I decided to join and am happy I did. I'm excited to contribute on the technical analysis of Bitcoins. 

[iddo]

i complied with the requirements and haven't been whitelisted so far, please whitelist me?

[davidk]

i have met the requirements and am looking forward to participating.  thanks

[Maged]

i complied with the requirements and haven't been whitelisted so far, please whitelist me?

You need to be logged in for one more minute.

[TheMalon]

So ... if the process of "white-listing" it's fully automated just ignore this message (even if I have to post 5 "stupid" things in newbies board to fulfill the requirements)
If not ... this is a request to allow me to "pollute" (read it: con·trib·ute) with my humble, stupid, long time incubated brainless ideas the other boards.

Thank you!

[zenmetsu]

could ya please whitelist me so that i can contribute in the pool forum...  i've made my pre-requisites (time & post count).

btw, you could probably lower the logged-in time to 1hr and still deter the same number of spammers.

[ronwan]

Wow I did not see the newbie only for posting message.
I've been reading the boards and looking to reply to some Technical ones and the economic ones but was frustrated looking for a reply button. ARRRG.

Ok so if I get this right I need to post several times here to be cleared. Is that right?
Let me know. I want in.

Ron

Actually, the logged-in time is not a solution to spammers problem. But who are you (or me) to debate on this "political solution" to the problem?

[SoggyMoggy]

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please could I have a ticket out of the Newbies zone?

Many thanks in advance,

Moggy

If you have a need to be allowed into the forum beyond before you have completed the required 5 posts and 4 hours logged in, please post your request here. Reasons such as "I'm not a spammer" will be ignored. You must provide evidence that shows that you understand more about Bitcoin than the average newbie, or that what you want to post can only be done in another forum. Try to be as specific as possible.

For the current status of how far along we are in processing whitelist requests, check the Pending Whitelists thread.

Please note: If you see "Jr. Member" by your name, you have already met the 5 posts and 4 hour requirements and don't need to post here. Additionally, after you meet the requirements, it can take up to 10 minutes for your account to be automatically upgraded.

Hi, I've been a bitcoin-miner for 5 months. And I have been actively watching this forum without creating an account for my own.

I'd like some input on a farm idea i've been growing in my head, hence I created this account now.

[happyraul]

Hi, I wish to participate in the thread for the Ars mining pool since I am a mining for that pool. I've been reading various threads on these forums for the last month or so, and this is the first time I've wanted to post something, so I just registered.

[TheLuckyGuy]

Can someone please Whitelist me?

I'am trying to meet some guys in Vienna and so on I must reply to a German threat.
