Seriously, where's the subscribe button?

Most Central Banks are not and China is increasing its gold reserves as a strategic policy to destabilize our dollar.

At least that's what the US State Department believes. (3)

Shorting Gold is financial suicide.

So the Jr. Member of the forums, k9quaint, is supposed to be viewed as such an expert on the matters of the article and comments of the Hero Member, yourself, that we the unwashed masses would mistake his statement that you are a fraud as a statement of fact instead of a mere opinion?

Further we are to suppose that k9quaint's opinion is in fact an intentional false communication, and that it harms your reputation(assumes you have a good reputation, no?)? decreases the respect, regard, or confidence in which you are held(assumes you are held in any regard, respect or confidence, no?)? or induces disparaging, hostile, or disagreeable opinions or feelings against you(more than you induce yourself?)?

This is now twice that I've observed you reference libel as a defense in a debate. Here is the other: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=38668.msg474351#msg474351. Calls of libel are the last defense (or perhaps in your case, the first defense) of the coward. The only thing that appears to be factual in this whole exchange is the level of your pusillanimity and the weakness of your argument.

Oh and you are welcome for the bump.

It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!

This quote can be used over and over in the BitCoin community, it seems.

God, Vladimir. You throw libel accusations around far too often. Please go learn a new legal term. You have completely worn out this one through cavalier misuse.

Can you please address what is going on with payouts form solved blocks?

Now I'm displaying the following:

Date       Round Time     Shares     Block #     Confirmed(#)     Solved By     Your Earnings 
25 Aug 2011 7 42 UTC   673h 9m   1,795,770   142498   Yes (203)   1NgBrc1Ci5xi2kseykFc6SRiq7BEqscnfj   ~0.27368875 BTC


Why the change from ~0.44666868 BTC to ~0.27368875 BTC? after solved and confirmed?

Are you keeping payouts for yourself or what?

I still have:

Unconfirmed Earnings: 0.00000000 BTC
Confirmed Earnings: 0.00000000 BTC
Paid Out: 0 BTC
Balance: 0 BTC

Still no payout for the block to:

CP is a gateway drug my friend. You will be contributing code to BH before this is all over. I've seen your kind in the past
BH already has its own Saul of Tarsus, but maybe you can be a Barnabas or Mark.

Hi, I'm trying to understand the payout mechanism. I have the following information in block stats:


Date                   Round Time     Shares     Block #     Confirmed(#)     Solved By                                      Your Earnings 
25 Aug 2011 7 42 UTC   673h 9m   1,795,770   142498   Yes (126)   1NgBrc1Ci5xi2kseykFc6SRiq7BEqscnfj   ~0.44666868 BTC


But I have this information in My Account:

Unconfirmed Earnings: 0.00000000 BTC
Confirmed Earnings: 0.00000000 BTC
Paid Out: 0 BTC
Balance: 0 BTC

Since the block is confirmed, shouldn't my earnings be confirmed or paid out?

Here is the address with payouts from prior to the server switch:

Do I just need to wait longer?

Yeah it's sad that a p2p, decentralized currency is at risk from an attack against one organization (deepbit). If hopping deepbit can help drive away some of the hashrate currently there, it's just that much more rewarding.

Oh, don't worry. We ethical miners have seen the huge red flag and are hopping on Mt Red. That huge swing in hashing power has led to 6 blocks in the last 24 hours. Again, compare to the anti-hopping polmine who hasn't solved a block now in 5 days (corresponding with their full implementation of anti-hopping measures). It's all coincidence, of course.

But if hashing power = work done then the Samuel Goldwyn quote seems apropos:

"The harder I work, the luckier I get"

Hey, I just made the connection that you are a cherry picking user. I hope your earnings have increased and you are closer to your medical mission in Viet Nam.

And look! It appears you still have a soul!

When the easy prey dies off then we just take our strength, knowledge and numbers and begin hunting elephants. It's not even fun until that point, anyway

Nice tusks, btw.

A) Rational people act rationally - hahahahaha. That's a good one.
B) I'm likely the source of the "lazy" tag for miners who just sit on one pool and don't try to optimize their mining revenue. I'll add that if these miners are anti-hopper then they are more than likely intellectually dishonest as well as lazy. I only have to reference the polmine miners who are fleeing the pool now that they are stuck on a 9 million block. There are numerous examples of miners "hopping" away from pools when they hit long blocks. Those are just slow hoppers. The deepbit 24/7 miners really are lazy and are detrimental to bitcoin. We hoppers provide a valuable service to bitcoin itself, which is infinitely more important to me than some whiny miners.

I can't say it better than Vladimir himself:  "Guess just like predators in nature you serve your purpose, eliminating stupid miners and advancing evolution and making bitcoin stronger. Whoever mines constantly in one of the pools successfully hopped by you surely deserves what he gets."

Well, actually I guess I can say it better and did privately to Vladimir 2 hours before he started this thread:
"Taking your point to its logical conclusion though you have to acknowledge that it is we hoppers who are the ethical ones. We are working literally around the clock (check the irc channel and git commits) to improve our methods and that in turn improves bitcoin. The miners who just buy a GPU, point it at a pool and walk away are the true leeches on the system, the unethical ones. They are the ones looking for money for nothing. We hoppers are at least putting in the time to justify our small percentage of extra earnings. We improve and strengthen bitcoin - they add nothing. If we can drive them out, fine. Hell, you do your best to convince every other miner in the world to quit. We are simply aiding in your effort, we are an extension of your effort.

I understand you have to take a public stance against us. That's alright. We both know that you benefit from us. We can continue to play the game. We aren't enemies, we are both on the side of making bitcoin dominant. Everybody plays a part. You keep playing yours and we'll keep playing ours."

Vladimir launching a PR campaign to try to paint himself as the defender of miners is a little on the nose. He's the most predatory of miners and for that I applaud him. At least he gets it and is self-serving even in his "self-defense" diatribe. You bleeding hearts with your "concern" for those poor miners hurt by hopping are dangerous to bitcoin. The sooner you get out of the evolutionary path and the bitcoin gene pool, the better. You want to compete against world currencies and yet you weep for the weak and ignorant? You will be devoured by the global financial market and spit out before you can even get your boots on.

And you are just acting like the insufferable you that you are. My point is that N=0.5 means that only 24/7, no downtime miners will be able to make a decent rate. And the idea that you'd ever get paid double on N=0.5 is minute. Only on very short rounds would PPLNS with N=0.5 ever make miners any good coin. And very short rounds already payout good with less convoluted systems (apart from PPS).

And BMU is hardly a candy bar getting put back on the shelf. 2 blocks solved ever... 20% stales... hashrate < 5 Gh/s... slow website... IP only accessible site for most its lifespan...
Really, there was never much to love and there is even less that will be missed here.

Seriously, BMU, cut your losses, spare the arithmetically challenged who are still mining you and turn everything off already. Your existence makes BitCoin weaker.

really? with N=0.5? good luck making any coin
