Looks decent. Will check it out! Left crypto scene for a while but I am back and want to start mining again. I heard Grin is a good choice.

but you are also dealing with bitcoins, where a value of 15$ per btc can crash to 11$ in 24 hrs.

therefore i think the 1:1 price would be fair to account for risk for the seller
just sell the bitcoins right away...

speaking of finding a block,  shouldn't the lucky bastard that finds the block get some kindof bonus?  whouldn't that bring more Mhash to the pool if that is advertised?
nah, I hate those kinds of things.  everyone was putting in work, its not like the last share is a boss of shares. Tongue

Lol,
"i wanna buy it, but i will not pay fair price"
to be fair, the fair/market price isn't retail/full price, its about 30 to 80 cents lower for a key.  why would I pay a stranger full price when I know I won't get scammed buying them from valve?

Should I shamelessly promote my bitcoin escrow site https://mybitsafe.com?
yes, you should.  and also, I think you should implement this:
Quote from: site's FAQs
What's with this bitcoin faucet crap? Why can't I get my money back if the seller rips me off?

...there are situations where specifying a different address may be appropriate. For example, the buyer and seller could agree that the funds go to an arbitrator who will listen to each person's side of the story. We are considering adding this feature.

It's more like playing poker and some people have sunglasses on, but you don't like that.
Grin that's pretty funny.  I also think the piracy analogy was bad.

Free cash, baby. Cheesy
this.  my first BTC was donated to Dark Shikari, lead developer of x264.  haven't spent any coins yet.  you guys should donate some coins to him if you like x264. Wink (his address is 1M97B78c7TBvuU8XRfwifP5yxBZdLRhjaP)

Re: Choosing a pool

I do recommend going with 2.5% or more because you don't wanna have spent 5 or more hours on a block that ended up being invalid and not being paid for the work you did.  I'm mining over there now to see if their policy that intends to stop pool-hopper from taking away from 24/7 miners is working.
Can you explain more on what you mean by these two things?  I assume by the 2.5% you mean giving a percentage back to btcguild, but how does that end up helping you?

Also, I'm definitely not a pool hopper by any stretch of imagination, but I don't have a computer I can use 24/7 for mining.  Would this new policy affect me?

Thanks for the help!
when you pay 2.5% or more to the pool, you get paid for your work even when the block turns out invalid.  its like payment insurance.  most pools won't pay you for the invalid blocks.

the stats are now delayed an hour like at deepbit.  pool hoppers know that they get paid more for doing the first share of a block than doing the millionth so they try to get on the pool that has done the least number of shares.  so when they find out btcguild is starting a new block, they'd jump on there.  so with the delayed stats, they won't know when the new block starts and can't pool hop on the pool anymore. (well, without guessing)

someone that doesn't pool hop shouldn't be affected, except for getting more profit (in theory).

No, because it is this very utilization that is the primary use of money that's why it is intrinsic.
no utilization, no value.  it is an extrinsic value.  and I do not dislike bitcoins because 'they're not backed by anything' btw.  I'm not gonna keep going in this circle, go ahead and post the same thing again if you want.

bitcoins are not imaginary, you can imagine all the fake bitcoins you want, but they will never be useable in a transaction
why would I imagine fake bitcoins?, I need real ones dammit. Tongue

Yes they do, read my signature.

The utilization of money to create money through economic activity is the intrinsic value of money.
utilization is extrinsic.

[nitpick]
Bitcoins have intrinsic value.
no, they don't.  in a different thread I said they didn't have intrinsic value 'cause they were unnatural, but then I thought of radioactive things and changed my reasoning to it being 'cause bitcoins are imaginary.  imaginary things have no intrinsic value.[/nitpick]

What's your opinion on the two?  I've heard people like deepbit because of the immediate results (and I guess because it's so huge), but the 0% fee of btcguild sounds nice too  Smiley
I think that because deepbit has such a high collective hashrate it can solve more blocks and get luckier because of it.

btcguild is awesome 'cause of the 8 decimal payouts and the fact that you can choose what to give back.  I do recommend going with 2.5% or more because you don't wanna have spent 5 or more hours on a block that ended up being invalid and not being paid for the work you did.  I'm mining over there now to see if their policy that intends to stop pool-hopper from taking away from 24/7 miners is working.

the improvements made to the pool are scaring me 'cause so far I've mined over 800 shares and none have been rejected.  I normally expect a 2 to 4% reject rate.  its amazing.

edit: finally, the 880th was rejected, so 1/880 = a .114% reject rate.  way to go eleuthria!

I use deepbit and btcguild (2.5% 'donation') depending on the luck because they pay you for invalid blocks.  its worth it.

If you want to take this design job please say so.....so i can send you pm for contract and pay you deposit of 50%
no, no, I'm not an artist.  I was just wondering what kind of words/phrases you need to see on the ads so the people with skill could know by the time they start.
