Do you miss the good old days when it would take an hour to configure your AT-5000 Auto-Dialer? You had time to read, call your mom, maybe even go on AOL Instant Messenger to chat with babes on the internet... Those days are long gone.

We thought we were accustomed to life in the 21st century, until we updated our uplink speed to 1Gb/s. Uploads and downloads that used to take minutes now only take seconds, and we haven't gotten a 2048 tile since upgrading.

Briehost wants to give you as much freedom as possible with your bandwidth and storage. Now you can sleep easy knowing that we have doubled our storage space on all OpenVZ VPS plans. You get 6GB HDD with all 128MB OpenVZ servers, 14GB HDD with all 256MB OpenVZ servers, and 30GB HDD with all 512MB OpenVZ servers.

If USB Block Erupters are price at $5 each then it's worth it.

You should earn about $3.63 a month.

Before power usage and ignoring price increase?

Kind of a right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing situation if eBay is trapping virtual currency sellers into violating PayPal's TOS.

Or perhaps its one of those "whoops, we were supposed to announce that paypal is now cool with bitcoin first" situations

The winners will be determined using a provably fair method which will be outlined here

What method ?

I take the entrant's name and add a secret to the end then do an MD5 hash of that Smiley

Re: bitcoin-qt huge blocks file

these 12gb represent all the block headers as well as all unspent transactions. The Satoshi/original client no longer saves spent transaction details so at least it is not as large as it could be Wink

This is untrue. The reference client saves the raw blockchain on disk, which contain all blocks and therefore all transactions. Some orphan blocks are saved too, since the program doesn't learn they are orphans until too late. However it doesn't keep an index into transactions, which means you can't ask your client about arbitrary transactions—but they exist on disk nevertheless. The parameter -txindex controls this indexing and is 0 by default.

Oh! I must have misread something in my research but upon further inspection it seems you are very right.

Sorry for rebroadcasting misinformation and thank you for the correction! Smiley

Your drawing method is not provably fair. As it is, you could have generated a secret that results in a particularly low MD5 hash for you some name (real or fake), and enter the contest later using an alt account.

I'm not saying that you would do anything so nefarious, but you need some element unknown to you to prove fairness. For example, you could use the hash of the first BTC block that is mined after the contest has officially ended.

That being said, this is a nice contest. Count me in.

You are quite right, I love this forum because there are people like you who are smart people and critical thinkers who speak their mind!

I really like your idea of using the first block to be generated after the promotion period. Since the contest is over halfway though and already has got a fair amount of entries, which have already been given their hash/tickets, I feel it would be unfair to change the rules now. Entrants can not be working for Brie Host or any of it's affiliates, and winners must agree to be announced publicly in order to win.

We will absolutely be using the first block after promotion period for the next promotion we run!

How should we describe this promotion? Provably fair (if you trust us)? Provably "fair"? Probably fair?

Our first rule/term/condition might help with the provable bit, since you will be able to speak to the winners yourself, as to ascertain if they are real winners or sock puppets Wink

"You must consent to having your name or handle published on BrieHost.com, on our Twitter, and in the Forums. This is needed to prove the fairness of the promotion. You may choose not to consent however this will disqualify you from any prizes you have won"

Re: The Regret Thread
by

on 10/10/2013, 19:39:54 UTC
I read about Bitcoins somewhere on the Internet back when 1 BTC was $1.50. I started mining it, mostly out of pure technical curiosity, I just wanted to see it in action. After getting involved and having my wallet filled up a bit I started to think whether this could be an asset for the future and I should buy some, as mining with my CPU already wasn't really worthwhile anymore at that time. Talked it through with my girl, but our financial situation wasn't very good at that time and the maximum 1500$ we could have spent on it didn't seem to be much compared to what I knew about traditional investments. So we decided not to.

I stopped mining too and even completely forgot about BTC when I reinstalled my computer...without making a backup of my wallet.

Bitcoin got my attention again when the bubble started to grow this year and it was at $200. I remembered by decision about not buying the ~1000 BTC which would have been worth $200,000 (and still $140,000 today).

So what's your story for the Regret Thread? Maybe you have told it elsewhere already but please put it here, where it really belongs to  Wink

Probably not a popular sentiment on this forum, but Litecoin is trading at a comparable rate Wink
