That's what I've been told in irc.

No news on the official thread, but I can't post on there :L

anyone know anything more?

Oh and only bitp.it could get ddos'ed yet still keep your stales at 0%


The frontend is getting ddos'ed, or was and it's not recovered yet. but the backend is still up, so it's accepting shares and long polling new blocks etc.

can someone who is no longer a newbie post the above here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=12181.580 please?

I don't dare to use GPU for mining, I'm afraid it will burst some day. Tongue

I used to cpu mine, then I got all the parts for my gaming pc, a week of cpu mining = 3~hours of gpu. Come to the dark side.

Re: Proposal for a decentralized BitBank

Just posting what started as an amusing thought and not 100% in the know on the technical details of the bitcoin software as of yet to understand if this would be feasible but here goes....

Based on current bitcoin technology....
1)  Public wallet system, stored in a P2P network
2)  Block chains performing transaction validity
     a) correct balance to transfer
     b) valid destination and origination wallets
3)  User creates account, private client issued to user.
     a) Private wallet shows account balance
     b) Provides authentication mechanism to initiate transactions
4)  Miners block chains help ensure the security and functionality of the bank
     a) Miners are rewarded with a nominal transaction fee for banking operations


Obviously a lot more could go into this, but this could help further the bitcoin cause if it is feasible.   Smiley

Sounds like you are describing the existing Bitcoin network.

yeah, you might aswell just send your bitcoins out into the void and then load up a second client when you want to grab them.

It's kinda annoying when you come on here to post bug reports cause all the ops for your mining pool are not on irc. but I think I'll survive...
