NastyFans: The Bitcoin Enthusiast Fan Club (est. 2012)

[artisbigshirts]

Hey guys, I just checked out NastyFans.org and noticed they lacked a definitive logo.
So I took some time to create a nice logo that I feel accents the NASTY MINING logo nicely.
Check it out, hope you like it:

I'm curious about these micro donations as well as that big lump, is there any way they can be used to track funds? I don't think that fits in with the way bitcoin works but my tinfoil hat says someone is dirtying otherwise relatively clean coins for a reason.

All micro donations are handled special by my modified bitcoind. They will never appear in donation distributions. But the members get the correct amount still.

They are very welcome here and there is no need to worry about them.

I can not agree to StartSSL terms.

Do you mind elaborating on this? I was thinking of using them for my own site.

Please, elaborate. I use StartSSL for many websites (mainly because they're free). If there is something fishy about their terms I'd rather know sooner than later.

Maybe StartSSL is great. I do not know. I do not want to discourage people from them.

I personally can not trust them with my private data. The SSL certificate we purchased is through the nastyfans web hosting provider. It was purchased by the person that purchased the web host services for nastyfans.

Is that a GPU? ;-)

My own best-guess?

Visually, it looks more like a GPU board than any other type of hardware (mining or otherwise)


But I guess it's for enhanced consistency / logo recognition?

I would guess the NastyFans logo is inspired by, and based on a similarly stylized drawing of GPU boards:

See here:

Still the logo in this thread's original post

The current "nasty mining" logo seems to be based on a pair of GPUs.
(though perhaps from a different viewing angle / perspective)

...


Short version: Yes. They're GPUs.

... And none of our mining hardware looks like the stuff in the logo for NastyMining, nor the (proposed) logo for NastyFans.

I don't mind, though it depends on if it is going to be used for NastyFans.org, then if nonnakip would mind.

They are GPUs, it's a nod towards the iconic GPU mining period of bitcoin lore.
Sure it isn't the most relevant for today's hardware, but it is recognizable.

I used a different perspective for NastyFans to utilize the fan visual pun. hehe

soap opera

Today a nastyfans member buys 1 seat for 0.27 BTC at 03:59:34 (UTC) and has until block 217102 to send payment. Here is the transaction:

https://blockchain.info/tx/dfb30e8dd29628b3ee14ff6b0b2d9946845a919b240cefffc2ebeab6327e92b4

The transaction was received 26 minutes after clicking "buy". This should be O.K.. But the transaction was not processed by a miner until block 217111. This is too late and the buy was automatically cancelled at block 217102. But Bitcoins were sent! Normally this is handled as a donation to nastyfans.

I transferred the 1 seat to the buyer and manually sent the Bitcoins to the seller. This is against nastyfans policy. But I believe it is O.K. in this situation. I do not know why the transaction needed so long to process.

As alternate I could send the Bitcoins minus 0.0005 BTC back to the buyer.

If this happens often in the future we must decide how to handle it. It is expensive for me to manually check such things.

Couldn't you just set the seats in a kind of locked state as soon as the transaction arrives ( 0 confirmations) and transfer the seats as soon as it's confirmed?

If the transaction get double spend before it gets cancelled. I understand why there is a time limit to send the coins, but why is there some for them to confirm?

Also time to say, I really like the nasty fans solution, beats really beats any exchange IMO. Thanks nonnakip

This is a good idea. But the locked state needs some time limit. Maybe 24 hours?

Some blocks are orphaned. The 6 confirmations give some protection that the transaction is part of the main chain. When ASICs start to play I think we see many false chains until difficulty adjusts.

Thank you. I try to create a solution that lets us all play with Bitcoin without trusting each other.

The answer is that block 152218 followed block 152217 after a delay of 1 hour 39 minutes 7 seconds. This was the longest inter-block interval in 2011.

How about: 6 x 1 h 39 min ~= 12 hours?
