Re: Bit Potato - Hottest bits since the potato!!

A life-saver indeed, just had to refresh my page and they all pop up! Unfortunately, before refreshing the page, I clicked on the platinum potato to see if it showed up in the message, and feel like a dick for locking a random potato. =P

So it was YOU! That would explain a bit from before...

Another quick update, we just added in a display for the current user who is attempting to buy the potato. We hope this will help end confusion in accidentally paying for the wrong potato!
right now people or bots are relentlessly clicking on all available potatoes simultaneously when they are available with no intention to pay... over and over again. I don't want to lose my ltc because someone is manipulating the site so nobody can buy? Does the 24hour timer get paused when waiting for payment? If not then this is a serious flaw.

It gets paused - and they should should set it up so you can only have one potato on waiting for payment at a time - and reduce the lock out period.

Q - how to we apply those updates (like that update 21 I saw a few posts ago). Is it just through normal means (e.g. apt-get) or is through some other method?

Same, can't register here - tried different browsers so I assume one of their coders stuffed up somewhere on the registration form...

Well they DID say it was in beta after all but even their support is still slow - 2 days and still no reply to my email Sad

Re: [WTS] 12 month Cyberghost Classic VPN

The code is for a 12 month subscription, but 20 GB max, so it'd be more or less a month or two.


Either way, thanks a bunch!

* Unlimited traffic volume included. Speed limited to a maximum of 512 kbit/s after 20 GB/month for traffic flat rate L.

Its 20GB per month, which gets capped to 512kbps after that.

2-3 days back Cyberghostvpn gave free giveaway of their product Cyberghost classic vpn for 12 months.


And paypal used to give away $5 for free to your own account in 2002 but we can't time travel can we Cheesy
I know a few Russians will be needing something like this since that new law passed that lets the government block access to any site at will...

interesting. would like to see some confirmations from some other members first.

I sent you a code, make sure to report back!

Protip: dont use trustno1 as your password (matrix fans will get this).

Essentially apply the same, if not stronger security that you would on your physical cash notes.

As for OP and bonds, security bonds by their very nature carry a large amount of risk. Bonds can (and do) become worthless overnight...

Re: Why do people assign value to Bitcoins?
by

on 02/11/2012, 07:18:14 UTC
Trust and security.

Basically everyone has complete tust in bitcoits not disappearing overnight and the security in which bitcoins not becoming worthless in comparison to other currencies (usd, gbp).

Compare to the Euro - people are losing trust in the euro, it could disappear and force everyone to revert to a localized currncy and the security of its worth is depreciating in comparison to other currncies (see the eur/usd swap rates over a three year period on forex sites)

And as for the taxes thing, if bitcoins became the next usd by some miracle governments would simply place high taxes on goods and services to compensate for the decrease in income tax revenue.

Re: Mt.Gox and Intersango no longer accepting UK bank transfers
by
mintcoin
on 02/11/2012, 07:10:40 UTC
lot of it about.

Does anyone have any insight into the exact nature of the problems intersango and mtgox etc have with UK bank accounts?

Is it pressure from the authorities re bitcoins in particular or AML in general?  Or technical?

Probably lots of transactions to a few accounts in a short period of time would lead to a block by the heuristics.

Might be the authorities as well - Silk etc etc.

How many hours is needed to get 1 Bitcoin mined?

Mine an entire block yourself and maybe the god of statistics might grant you with an entire block in 1hr xD

Re: HOWTO: create a 100% secure wallet
by
mintcoin
on 02/11/2012, 06:53:21 UTC
aren't sites like blockchain or instawallet secure aswell?

As long as you use the zerotrust method i.e. have the private keys yourself then they're fine.

But imo people shouldnt worry too much about bitcoin security - its far more secure than nearly all other forms of online transctions e.g. Paypal, moneybookers. The main problem is the flucuating exchange rate...

But this doesnt mean you can then use your bitcoin client on a comp which is used by other people who moght get it infected - still use a livecd.

The main problem though is that you have to trust the liveCD to not suddenly become infected...
