Since MtGox still has yet to process my withdrawal to Dwolla after a week, I decided to give Intersango a try. I sent them 2 BTC and sold them after a bit of fiddling with their interface. Their recommended sell price is way above the existing bids, so I had to look at the bids and match my sale price with that. I preferred MtGox's method of just typing in the amount to sell and clicking 'Go'. Transfer to my Dwolla account took all of 5 minutes and required no verification.
I will be using Intersango from now on for all my exchange needs. Thanks for bringing a worthy exchange to the table.

Jesus, I'm surprised people put up with Pastebin
That was my daughter being scammed. We never did receive payment for those bitcoins.
A fool and his money are soon parted. At least you didn't lose much.
people are watching and examining deepbit like hawks, I doubt deepbit will do anything fraudulent. Plus why would any established pool destroy their own investment by destabilizing bitcoin network? the reward is tiny vs the potential loss. What we need to watch for is if any non-established source has control of hash power over 50%.
But what if someone hacks deepbit and gains control of the pool?It would be a short lived win, because deepbit doesn't control the pool's nodes. As soon as the breech was noticed, and it wouldn't take all that long, the nodes' owners would just starve deepbit of it's collective resources and the takeover attempt would be useless.
But couldn't someone with control of 51% script it so they 'found' 1,000,000 blocks in the span of several seconds?
Re: NEW: Bitcoin Mining Calculator with Difficulty Change Adjusted Calculations
If you need help with anything, let me know, I'd love to help out. I was working on www.thevir.us/bitcoin before I got busy at work and realized that scraping a ton of hardware sites will require far too much work to gather prices. I don't do estimates on difficulty, but it shouldn't be too much work to implement given the available resources and past difficulty jumps.
Mining won't be controlled by botnets as GPUs will eventually be replaced by custom hardware (ASIC/FPGA). Difficulty will rise so high that having 20GH/s will be like having 20MH/s right now. Botnets will control a portion of mining for a short period of time, in relation to the BTC mining timeline. It's naive to think that GPUs will be the preferred method of mining 1-2 years from now.
Re: LinuxCoin A lightweight Debian based OS with everything ready to go.
I'm running .2b, so it'd be nice to see .2c. It doesn't make sense not to, it's not like you are going to run out of possible version numbers/letters.
Re: LinuxCoin A lightweight Debian based OS with everything ready to go.
Could you edit the title of the thread when you update the version, it's easier to tell than to load the first comment and scroll through it. Also, if you're worried about restarting the system, you could try getting ESXi up and building an image for that and then connecting to the VM server and restart that. It's a bit more work, but it's not too hard.

I shall laugh when people send Vegetta money and never hear from him again.
Lol that why I made everything about myself completely public. Anyone who has done enough research on me can easily find me on FACEBOOK, and TWITTER, and from there can easily hire a private investigator to come find me. It's not that hard to find someone, even YOU, yes you, everyone leaves a trail online, and to have the intent to scam is a really moronic one, especially when I have such a good opportunity to make money in the long term with this project. It's not difficult to cut all ties and run if there was serious money involved. Also, I can create a fake Facebook account with hundred of 'friends' and a bullshit twitter account. People that trust online personas are asking to be taken advantage of.
Go away..
EDIT: Hey clown, check your BTC account, I just donated 0.10BTC just so you stop trolling all my threads and hopefully anyone Else's threads who are serious about this medium of exchange. Obviously you are not serious about pushing it's future, so maybe I can at-least pay for your silence, since you have absolutely nothing useful to contribute other than baseless attacks. It's sad that you have to pay trolls to shut up, but it's that serious.
Please stay the hell away.
Thank you kindly, sir. Good luck on your project.
You run this for several weeks, months, years, and keep tabs on how much money is in the paper. You get bored and decide to take it all and move to another country. We have your thumbprint, woopty-fucking-doo.
What would I do with the 25-employee software business I happen to be running in South Jordan, Utah? Pack it up? All so I can steal somebody's bitcoins? This would make sense if I were a transient, but a little bit of Google and you'll see I'm not.
The payoff could be (much) larger than whatever the business is worth. Maybe you'd do it for the thrill. Maybe you would need a large/quick anonymous sum, which liquidating the business would not fulfill. Maybe you got into an accident that changed your personality. Maybe someone took your family hostage and made you do it. Whatever, there are a ton of reasons why this isn't something I'd bet my life on. And fingerprints can be lifted incredibly easily if you are as easy to find as you say.
That and it's not incredibly hard to create a fake online persona. The whole point of Bitcoin is to keep it peer-to-peer. Why would I put all my trust in a single source that isn't backed by anything?
Re: LinuxCoin A lightweight Debian based OS with everything ready to go.
New issue: Running in persistent mode and enabled encryption on the user's home directory. I also changed the auto-login script in inittab. I rebooted and was prompted with the desktop with the missing background/menu items. It seems to have auto-logged in as the user. I logged out and logged back in as the user using my own password, so far so good. I checked TTY1 and saw that the root user is logged in. Furthermore, the user is logged in on other terminals.
This isn't very secure if root auto-logs in at reboot. Kind of defeats the purpose of having a user.

Re: LinuxCoin A lightweight Debian based OS with everything ready to go.
Booted to .2b and tried to login, it fails. I tried user/live, user/user, live/live, live/user. Nothing works, neither on the main login window or a different TTY.
Edit: Rebooted to Default and then again into Persistent mode and it brought me to a desktop. Not sure what happened.

A membership management script capable of taking bitcoin costing $1000 plush an adult designer which costs $3000 to $4000? and custom CMS? why does it have to be custom if your going to pay THAT much just do it from scratch... and if your paying $1000 for a web design your getting over charged. I've never in my life have seen a $1000 web site design in my entire 10 years of porn viewing experiences they are all cookie cutter HTML+css with some gradients which take 2 seconds to make.
I was able to integrate bitcoins into my redistributable software in a day... A DAY!! why does it cost this much for porn??
Who are is your programming team so I know who not to get ripped off from... get a life
To anyone actually considering and capable of undertaking this project, I'd offer the following.
A membership site requires an adult designer (3-4k) and a custom CMS (2-4k), a membership management script capable of taking Bitcoin (1k if hardened). It makes no sense to offer shares (recurring income) for a one time expense.
If you build a site, it will then be on the radar of the large players- that's where they look. They think it terms of competing websites- not competing apps. So you've just substantially shortened your lead by announcing that your business model will work on their websites just fine. So their coders will get cracking. This website won't get any traffic without an affiliate program, that cuts into profits and requires a large advertising budget to get the word out to potential affiliates (1k month).
This is one of the problems with businesses started with outside capital- it's easy to spend other peoples money. If it was their own money the developers would come up with something simple and clever, if they have funding- lets have a money fight. If they don't get sacks of money, they claim they can't start anything because no one will fund them.
A simple App website advertising it's functionality (if you use the same UI designer as the app it saves money), and providing a Market link is sufficient. Ideally it's creation would be paid for by income generated from just the initial Android app. Done properly it requires more skill and planning than it does capital. The other guys always have more capital so it's a lousy tool to try and compete with.
All you need is a mobile app programmer, a lawyer and probably a UI designer- the latter two are a one time expense. There's really no need management or any additional staff beyond a single developer/owner. No one else is needed and they will just cannibalize profits and hurt growth. There is no reason this can't be bootstrapped by a single developer. The other skills required are modest, one time expenses.

Sure, let us all know how that works out for you.To anyone actually considering and capable of undertaking this project, I'd offer the following.

Because watching porn and making porn are interchangeable. How can cars cost $150,000? They are all cookie-cutter chassis with different paint jobs and some basic mechanics. How can games cost $100,000,000 to make? They are just the same rendering engine and some minor art changes.
ITT: Ignorance is bliss.
the problem is that it's an unprovable assertion. nobody can tell whether you've kept the private keys. all a thief would have to do in your place is keep all the data, inspect the block chain periodically for a very large balance, and strike once many years from now in an entirely untraceable way.
Of course. YOu are 100% right. But what is different here is my ass is on the line. Thief should plan on his ass being kicked if he is giving out his real name and address like I am. MtGox and MyBitcoin could stiff you any second, and your bitcoins could disappear if they get hacked (as has already happened to some).

Re: What are the odds to never mine a block with 500Mh/s solo?
My result: 70% to never mine a single block ever.
If you take "ever" as in "in eternity", you have a probability of 100% to mine a block, hell, you're even 100% likely to mine 1000 blocks with only 1 hash per second!Please specify a REAL timeframe like "within the next 5 years", not infinity!
Not true as there's a finite number of bitcoins.
But not a finite number of blocks. After we stop minting coins, there will still be new blocks with transaction fees.
True, but I was under the assumption he meant a block that produces a BTC prize, not a fee.
You don't get charged a fee for generating a block in the future. YOU get awarded the fee, so it's still a BTC prize.
I know, it was a poor choice of wording on my part.
