since i can and have bought real things with it i guess its as real as any other money

FTFY

most accurate summary i hve seen so far.

if you cant prove a civil case you have no hope of proving a criminal case. the ftc obviously was not confident they could prove a civil case so decided to settle instead of pressing on with only a a 'possibility' of winning and obvioulsy they didnt think the possibility too high or they wouldnt have settled they are the governement afterall they have unlimited resources to throw at it. in the end we are left with nothing and the ftc case drained any hope of getting any money or hardware out of bfl. ummm yay?

I can has key, plz?

Did you now?



i'm not picking on you rik. i would like to make  aformal request to the ones in this thread that keep posting with no useful information to please stop so that ghose of us that want to watch this thread for useufl updates can do so. Gleb, puroto libre, sbogovac searing and a bunch of others just add nothing but noise to this thread. some of them post (like gleb) what looks like useful information but it just turns out to be false and fake. i have yet to see anything gleb posted be acted upon or turn out to be true, same goes for purto libre. before you to tell me that i am wrong plese review your past posts where you say someting is true and it turns out not to be. it has not happened just once but many times. please, i am asking for the rest of us who really care, stop posting in this thread and leave it for real updates with honest and factual information and not speculatio nand made up "facts".

No.
Ubuntu.

The Linux daemon works fine. I have it running on several servers without any problems at all. I haven't tried any GUI interface for it, though, so maybe it has problems?

Man gotta game! Man gotta game!

Wow... April 2015 and people still have 32 bit Windows? Just... why? That's like complaining someone isn't making an Apple ][gs version of the wallet, either. Where's my ProDOS Uno-wallet!!?>!

Can you define what you mean by "entertaining?"

I very seriously doubt it had anything to do with the algorithm. Scrypt was the second successful algorithm to come out, so it has the majority of the non-SHA256 traffic and really the only one to have ASICs built for it. I can in no way see how the choice of algorithm makes a single tiny bit of difference to the miner, as miners will mine whatever is the most profitable with the hardware they have. I doubt many of the people (if any besides myself and a few others) in this thread can even describe any of the algorithms or how they work, so why would they care? They don't.

Anyway, that'd kind of off topic. I think he should have left the algorithm bit out of the whole thing, as it is a red herring and data puffery.

So he concluded that the Scrypt algorithm somehow gave a coin it's value? That doesn't even make sense and makes his conclusion suspect. Bitcoin dwarfs all other alt-coins combined in terms of pretty much all those factors and does not use the Scrypt algorithm, therefore the Scrypt algorithm has absolutely nothing to do with it.

The trust is fine. I don't have any problems with VOD leaving negative trust to people for whatever reason he wants... (well, I do actually, but that's an entirely different argument). The problem is that he's in the DefaultTrust. If DefaultTrust went away, there wouldn't be an issue, but since it's here and VOD has clearly shown he's abused his position numerous times (and continues to abuse it) he should be removed from DefaultTrust, which is really the root of the issue here. He's demonstrated time and again that he's unsuitable to be given the power of DefaultTrust, yet he continues to wantonly abuse it and no action is taken.

Yes they are. They are just shadow deleted and can be viewed by Admins or anyone with the proper permissions.

It actually is an interesting legal data retention issue that I imagine is going to surprise Theymos one day. Someone will post something sensitive, it will be deleted, but Theymos will still technically be in possession of it and some legal entity will find out about it and all sorts of legal hilarity will ensue.

So because _I_ don't have thousands of posts, it's irrelevant? As for "If you did you would be unlikely to want to delete all of them" you are wrong, plain and simple. There are many people with hundreds and thousands of posts that would like a simple way to delete them.

This forum is a cesspit and I no longer want any of my personally identifying information associated with it, which is why I use this account for general banter and bullshit I don't care too much about. I made the mistake of signing up with my normal user name a long time ago and participating in this forum at that time. I no longer want any of that information associated with this forum, but there's no easy way to go about deleting it. Many of us old schoolers feel the same way and most of the important people have left this forum long ago or use throw away accounts like I do. We'd rather not be associated with the scam infested troll shitfest this place has become, but we're kinda stuck.

Have you ever tried to delete posts on this forum?  It takes forever for each one. If you have hundreds or thousands of posts, it would be an impossible task. You'd need to write a script to do it or something.

Yes, the option to completely delete my account would be very welcome. Maybe also add the option to export all data, too.

He needs to post some error logs or something before anyone can even begin to diagnose the problem.

Yes, possibly... however both of them are notoriously impervious to logic and what's best for the community. When you're in the goold-old-boy network, it's almost impossible to get someone inside to vote themselves or their cronies out (and really, why would you?). The problem is not really VOD, the problem is DefaultTrust. It needs to go away. That will solve much of the problem with trust system (not that the trust system is that great to begin with, but it is what it is). DefaultTrust shouldn't exist, but since it does, those in it should be held to a much higher standard than the average user. When you have someone that abuses DefaultTrust like VOD does, then it's a major problem. When you have people protecting the abusers, you really have no recourse and you're stuck, as Tecshare is, which is unfortunate.

The DefaultTrust keeps a lot of people from commenting on this forum and/or from espousing viewpoints that don't agree with the elite in DefaultTrust for fear of retribution, which makes the community that much poorer due to the terrorizing the people in DefaultTrust do to those they don't agree with.
