Has anyone successfully compiled this in 2024? Seems to use a lot of libraries that are now deprecated. Wonder if it might be better to compile using an older version of Ubuntu in a VM.

Firstly, I remember the favicon disappeared for a while a few weeks ago but now it's back. Has anyone else experienced this?

Secondly, what is it's copyright status? I am thinking of creating my own Bitcoin-related site(s) and the one used here seems to be the best one I could find. I tried generating my own using Bitcoin images that I found on the web but they don't look very nice at 16x16 resolution.

It seems that RSUnit has been delisted from Coinmarketcap. The price has collapsed too.

Why does the IRS want bitcoins and what is it that they plan to do with all of these bitcoins?

I can understand taxing someone who converts BTC to USD. But why should BTC that remains BTC also be taxed?

I'm getting errors here. First it keeps loading while displaying the message "Loading the world's most popular Bitcoin gambling website..." followed by the message, "Oh no! An error occurred! You may have a bad connection or our servers are down. You should try again later."

I was able to try PD3 out a couple of hours ago just after it first launched and it was pretty awesome and it is still the site's first day after all so I understand there might still be issues with the site and server, so I'm not really complaining.

What's the benefit of registering with a ref?

It's working fine here. I'm using Firefox 30 on Windows XP.

Just saw my account has a balance of 0.001 BTC. Was 0 BTC before. Haven't deposited anything yet and only played the faucet twice and don't remember winning anything. Is it possible that someone sent me a tip via the chat? I think I posted a couple messages there.

This is definitely true nowadays - at least for SHA-256 coins such as Bitcoin, but it wasn't case before SHA-256 ASICs arrived in 2013. Someone even mined hundreds of bitcoins on an old Pentium 4 back in the early days of Bitcoin. And even up until 2013, people were using high-end gaming rigs with expensive GPUs to mine.

More information:


It seems planes are dropping out of the sky like crazy these days. Very sad.

Edit: Also there seems to be conflicting reports about whether the plane was a DC-9 or an Airbus A320. There are also reports that it was a Boeing 737-200:


Edit 2: It was an MD-83 apparently:

I actually have five bank accounts. If any one of them decides to do something funny like the OP's bank, I could just spread the money around or close that account. It's a free market after all.

Strange to hear that a bank doesn't like its customers keeping too much money with them though. It's kind of like a supermarket getting mad at someone for buying too much groceries. You'd think that it would be great business for them.

Not a bad life. Working only 1 or 2 days a week and having the rest for yourself would be pretty good. Sort of like the opposite of what normal people have to go through. I wonder why more doctors, surgeons, bankers, etc. don't do this. I know a dentist who is 62 but is still working at his own clinic for the past 30 years. He even works on Saturdays and works until 5 o'clock. With that sort of income, I would have paid off my student loans and retired in my 30's.

What do the left and right hand columns represent? Which one is the total network hash rate?

New cars are a pretty bad investment because their value drops by 1/4 to 1/3 within the first year of buying it. If you want to be smart with your money, then buy a used car. Those don't tend to drop in value nearly as fast and sometimes you can even resell them for a profit.

History professor? English professor? History teacher? English teacher? Although for the latter two, you might need a teaching qualification as well.

I thought Jeanne Calment was the only person to reach 120 years:


Interestingly, she was a smoker too:


She died aged 122:

700 euros per year is very cheap for a college education. It costs about 5 times that where I live.

Interestingly, North Korea was actually considered the more successful country of the two and was richer than the capitalist South until around the 1970's. I wonder what went wrong.

Don't forget 9/11. It happened in 9/11 and 911 is also the national emergency number. 9/11 is also Emergency Number Day and the 11 look like the twin towers. One of the planes was American Airlines Flight 11.

It's very easy to reach Jr. Member status. Not sure why you want to buy one.
