Very beautiful collectors item if its below 5k mileage. Prove you have the car in hand and its mileage and I might come to the US to take it off your hand.  Just do not understand why you would need a DEPOSIT from us just to PROVE you have the car when its the first thing you should of done. Why pay $2400 deposit for a car I have not seen before. Too many signs for me to continue

because there are too many people who want to waste my time asking for test drives, shopping quotes and such

Well, seeing as how I cannot get any funds to an exchange to buy any bitcoin quickly, cheaply and without leaving a ton of value in an exchange account, and there are thousands like me. I would speculate that is whey there is more sellers than buyers.

Re: Denominating a 'BitCent' as a 'Gavin' ?

The problem is not metric, but doing transactions in a fraction of a denomination. Its not just the perceived value problem of picking up a coffee for .04BTC. Its also keeping track of the fraction, i.e "whoops, I just paid .011BTC instead of .0011BTC per gram of grapes. It would make much more sence (cents lol) if the gram costs 0.11 GV, and I would not accidentally send 1.10gv. Sorry fraction guys, there is no explanation other than human weakness.

Re: What does it take for bitcoin to become stable

An entire local community must use BTC for its primary currency. It could be a block in NYC or a village in India. Also stable futures markets come before stable markets.

Re: Myths and mis-understandings about "decentralized exchanges"
by
screamingservers
on 12/04/2013, 07:23:55 UTC
There are three main problems with all these discussions.
1. Exchange Rated purchases are based on the market leader pricing, right now that id GOX, so if I buy a product on amazon, it the BTC goes through a proxy that bases its price on GOX. This would not be a problem if the rate was stable. All the evangelists love to say they are in it for the love, but if I posted my wildcard SSL certs at 3 BTC a month ago, that was a good price, but yesterday that would be outrageous, so prices for real goods need to be exchange rated. Vendors choose the easiest to do business with. MTGOX was that. Somewhere someone needs to agree on what a fair prices is.

2. Single systems can survive DDOS, enormous scale demands, hack attempts and natural disaster. DNS and other rarely changing content is actually the most immune from attack if done right with BGP anycast. Anycast lets you have the same IP in multiple places around the world, hundreds or thousands of networks can have the same IP if the content is the same (or different if you dont care). Actually you could have anycasted servers pushing dynamic content on a proxied back end that only proxies the authenticated users and the back end could be completely hidden secure backbone. Not only that, major backbone providers have a mechanism for blocking attackers by pushing a blackhole route through bgp. And that is just the stuff from 15 years ago. I am sure the new stuff is better. This is the stuff that cloudflare kind of offers as a service with public back end.

3. Craigslist is the perfect decentralized exchange. How do you upload USD to the Internet? Meet me at the coffee shop, hand me cash. I send you BTC, drink a latte while you wait for some confirmations, but I base my price on.... the leading exchange. ARG we keep going in circles.

So you are trying to spin a for profit attack on the bitcoin system as good for bitcoin? And that that is better than speculators buying into bitcoin and trading them for dollars. That is like saying that blowing up mountains is better than letting tourist ski down them. Fool!

Re: The Cyprus/Bitcoin connection is totally fake
by
screamingservers
on 02/04/2013, 14:31:40 UTC
From what I have read, it looks like a good portion of the Cyprus bank deposits are from account holders abroad, specifically Russia, so maybe include Russia and other eastern block countries in your stats.

The other thing is here in the US we have a bunch of conspiracy anti government nuts who buy gold bouillon to have currency to trade after government takes over. Cyprus reinforced their beliefs that they must have an alternate currency and the Cyprus-Bitcoin connection on the mainstream news gave them Ideas as to what that currency should be if not gold (BTC). I have been selling on Craigslist and bitcoinlocal to these types more than speculators. My problem is that I cannot get the money to gox before the price goes up and I don't have a ton of money to fill up my gox account ahead of time, so I can only sell a few BTC at a time.

Here are the download figures from other countries since March 16:

6100 in Spain
2735 in Italy
1234 in Greece
937 in Portugal

This all includes mutliple downloads by same person and perhaps previous users who're just downloading on another device. So maximum of 10,000 across impacted European countries over half a month is nothing to write home about. Sure there are other clients and other ways to 'use' Bitcoin, ignore this very important data at your own peril.

Just for comparison's sake - there's been 15,556 downloads in China over same time frame who're known to love to speculate and gamble in their investments. It's clear that speculators far outweigh people concerned over any type of financial confiscation.

My guess is we are not going to see it.  It's been almost a year with nothing.

I haven't given up on finishing it, but I also can't justify putting much time into it.  Maybe someday I'll get motivated.

Failing that, all of the source is included on every ISO.  Anyone anywhere that ever feels like spending their time improving or adding to it is more than welcome.  It's all FOSS.



I would put up .2 bitcoin to renew your domain... But I also saw bamtlinux.org is that you?

Re: I made a giant, overpriced mining rig
by
screamingservers
on 26/03/2013, 05:14:19 UTC
Just to clarify I have 12 GPU cards.    I do things for failover and redundancy because that is how I set up everything that handles potential income.  It might be excessive but it is just a habit.

As far as ASIC goes,  How many people do you know personally with ASIC rigs? 

As far as my huge amount of memory, I will need that to run numerous instances.  One thing I am just checking out is the possibility of adding nodes even if I could virtualize an ASIC chip.  They have such low power useage and would take up low CPU and perhaps GPU cycles that if I can virtualize and ASIC instance , then maybe this rig would not be a waste of money.

My one test was a dismal failure at about 26600 Mh but I was testing on cracking phpBB3 hashes when I got that speed, so I will see for sure in a day or two.

Most likely this will be a bad investment though.  I can face that but I am going to look for ways to "hedge" a potential loss.

No pictures yet.  On the off chance this does work, I really don't want copycats with my rig chugging away at what could be my bitcoins.  If it works I might be open to "leasing" as part of my hedge plan.  Being that if it works, I lease instances as a hedge against BTC for dollars.

Failover? Redundancy? can you elaborate further on those topics? because I don't think they apply to the bitcoin world unless we are talking about a pool that needs to be up 24x7 or a market exchange, but from the miner's perspective?

Failover means that when , lets say, The State of Missouri is destroyed in an act of clumsiness typical of that state and my rig is destroyed with it, my other rig either surrenders half of its tasks and takes on the tasks of the dead Missouri rig or it takes over in full by creating more instances to make up for those lost.  This is why I need huge logging space because the failover rig will have to collect data from the failed rig.  The colos provide 24/7 AC and backup power so I figured I might as well take advantage of them. 

Redundant means they are the same and have the ability to failover.

There is no data to collect, No reason to fail over. Your rigs are running calculations and reporting the results to the pool operator. If you want to solo mine, you may want redundancy in your main wallet but not for the whole rig. JUST RUN BOTH RIGS. No need for virtualization either. Like the guy up there said, you can run the os on thumbdrives with write errors. Hopefully those 96gpu are 6990's

I think I have already posted 4 posts and have spent hundreds of hours trolling, especially last week when the fork happened. I am really wanting to ask some questions in the ozco.in thread about his switch to stratum. At first he posted a dire message to users that he was shutting off getwork "Saturday" with a link to a thread here. Then he just posted that he was looking into proxy getwork to stratum. More details would be helpful but I doubt he reads the newbie column.
How about an elevation.

LOL! It was an ACH.

Ok that makes more sense, I do not think you can fraud a wire transfer because its a push not a pull, but ACH you can. HOWEVER there is a simple procedure: They should run the ACH, and keep the money in suspense for a week.

You said it. Since he govt does not recognize btc as currency, you only have to report, when you 1. translate the currency in to USD or you purchase Items in USD... or for example you use a BTC to USD purchasing converter like the amazon thingy somebody made up.

I just switched pools. The forum is offline. Half the time I try to log in it says "moving database" and after that happens the worker stats are all off. They had two orphaned coins during the .8->.7 bug, did not make any announcements if they participated in the fix, and the very next block after the fix took almost 18 hours (I thought that was because other miners were jumping ship faster than me, but it looks like it was just bad luck .05)

Re: Best way to get bitcoins?
by

on 13/03/2013, 13:42:26 UTC
Pooled mining works with spare resources. I have a 6990 (about $400 on ebay) running phoenix 2 on win 7 with aggression at 3 and barely notice it running all day while I am at work. My fan is at 30percent right now and I am getting about .07bc/day. Currently that is about $3/day . I just cashed in my btc from the last year for about $700. Although most were earned while difficulty were lower, this was only a part time rig.

What do you think the best way to get bitcoins is?

Is it mining solo for a year or joining a pool?

Or is it doing random surveys that steal your info?

EDIT: Without using any money generated not by bitcoins

You are doing great for windows. I have a 6990 and cant get more than about 600mh in a windows miner phoenix 2... GuiMiner I was gettin about 500 and tons of having to stop and start. Same card with bamt gets me about 725mh, also pheonix2. I think the main difference other than windows/linux is the aggression setting.
