A very useful link, thank you
Maybe if a site accepted credit cards instead of paypal.
Most credit cards allow the owner to initiate a charge-back for up to 60 days after the purchase. The bank doesn't ask any questions if the owner simply says it was illegitimate - it's up to the merchant to prove the transaction was a legitimate purchase, which in many cases is almost impossible. I once lost $10000 worth of artwork due to this policy even though I had a swiped card and signed slip. It took me a private detective to prove the delivery address was that of a relative to the card holder, and even then, I had to institute a civil procedure to get the art back. Once all that was done, I laid a criminal charge which was never taken further by the bank or the police. Now imagine dealing with "digital" goods and in which you don't have the advantages of a "swiped" transaction. I place my little example here to illustrate how difficult it is going to be to create a "fool-proof" method of taking payment, especially with cards and mobile transactions (since mobile companies place the same burdens of proof on the merchant). I fear only mass transactions with transaction fees can buffer the effect of a planned 10% charge-back. A free or low fee service simply will not show the profits to buffer it's clientèle against fraud and thus, ultimately, find it impossible to survive..

Returns the error:

Why would you run bitcoin through Tor? What is the security advantage?
I wouldn't say running bitcoin through tor would be a security advantage, rather more of an anonymity advantage in that it would be almost impossible to link a transaction to your ip. Ooh, I see.. I didn't notice there were images attached. In that case you can ignore the line added at end of my post (appears in quoted message after). Also, I converted to links.
I was wondering how much 29 seconds were worth. Thanks for doing the links they are awesome. Thanks for your screens Willsway, but I placed a bit smaller screenshots on the front page, more similar to the old ones.
Hehe, it's all good. Trying to help is as much fun as actually managing to help
.Long live Bitcoin.
... I am impeded by my own laziness.
LoL, well no currency system is going to solve that particular problem . I found finding something to be passionate about solves this particular problem - good thing you found the Bitcoin movement then .I've only been involved with bitcoins for little over a week now, so I haven't had much time to implement any earnings instruments yet.
I have access to many products, so one of the first projects will be creating an online retail store to accept payments in bitcoin only.
I have some financial games in mind where trades would happen in bitcoin - the primary idea here is not to "earn" bitcoins, but rather to encourage some movement of bitcoins.
The following idea is a hobby of mine and does not really relate to the crux of this thread: I am currently putting together a solar powered machine to generate bitcoins - the idea is to process "green" bitcoins, making it the cleanest money in history
Anyone know of some decent deep cycle batteries - it's all I'm missing. I currently have a Core2Duo which is outperforming a i7 and several Quad Core machines even though they all get an equal opportunity to generate uninterrupted. I don't think we should underestimate the "Luck" factor.
To remove all doubt, I went over to my brother's house to use his older Windoze machine; which isn't all that hard considering that he lives over my garage. I started the client on his computer (which uses my broadband) that I know does not have *any* security programs at all, and running over a broadband connection that does not have any blockages at all (because it's mine). The client started up fine, and within a minute was reporting 60+ connections. I'm thinking, "I'm good now", but an hour later it still had not incremented the block count even one from the blockchain that I downloaded at the same time as 0.3.10. I think is was 67,300; but it never moved. I tried to turn on and off generation, which I didn't expect to work and it didn't.
Any ideas?
Any ideas?
I don't mean to state the obvious, but your post does not mention shutting down Bitcoin and starting it up again. When I upgraded to the new version several of my machines also stalled on the block count and restarting Bitcoin solved the problem. I think the same problem was mentioned in an earlier post and restarting also solved the problem on that occasion. Just something to try.
