Bitcoins

Dear
Your withdrawal request has been confirmed.

Transa_ction data:

I believe i have been guilty of a breach of bitcoin etiquette. It seems they dont want you to sell them straight off and just rake your cash in asap and fuck off. They want you to be spending those coins and keeping them circulating. If circumstances had been differnt i wouldve helped the BC economy, but have other priorities at the moment.
 
i dunno, sometimes it helps to play along a bit to keep them happy just for the sake of better business relations. If you can be arsed.

I reckon a lot of business deals are heavily influenced by the extent to which they like or hate each other. The disliked are gonna get fucked around endlessly, the good ones will get what they want when they want.

I dunno, i could be talking out of my arse again, as i am particulary wasted atm....
 
I don't think that's true re business deals. The weak are buggered by the strong and left bleeding in their wake, otherwise it would be called something else, like friendship.
 
Actually I think what MDB said is fair enough, as much as whether you like someone or not depends on how easy they are to do business with, or how lucrative doing business with them is ;) which is probably the case for people you know only through faceless internet business transactions. And somewhat the case in face-to-face business transactions.


An example from real life: some years ago I did a piece of work for a guy, upgrading processors in the PCs in his office. I spent half a day doing this and asked him for £50. Never saw the £50. Since then I've thought he was a cunt! I also dislike the guy that put us in contact with each other, not just because he did so and told me the cunt was OK, but partly; and since I developed my dislike for him, I've turned down work I could have done for him.

There's listings on Silk Road and such to have currency mailed to your house for bitcoins

just saying, not sure how legit the guys doing it are as I've never had to use it myself but it seems like a better way to withdraw than all this waiting for transfers red tape.
 
I didnt know that. But there are tons of stuff i dont know about it. Once i get my grubby mitts on the cash i wont need to learn any more. The velvet lane has many temptations, some that im sure would be disasterous for me. If i could rewind 2 years and being a 'weekend warrior' id just be gettin a nice bit of speed or mephedrone.
Im too tempted by all the heavy shit on there. Id soon be out of control.
 
if one positive thing came out of bitcoins you could say they are more or less saving AMD's ass right now.

I used to be all Intel / Nvidia but now that I'm looking at it objectively

Intel: more expensive with faster processing but you dont't really notice it unless you benchmark
AMD: cheaper and mining is not done by the CPU anyway (if youre doing it right)

Nvidia: better for gaming slightly but horrible for mining
ATI (AMD, w/e): barely noticeable performance decrease in gaming and the only cards worth mining with

so unless you are one of those people who gets their dick hard over an extra 5 fps while playing Crysis 2 maxed out there is really no reason to buy intel or nvidia products if you are building a PC and are interested in mining.

gl finding a Radeon 58xx or 5970 series card for a fair price though, cat's out of the bag at this point

lol ati gpu's are better value for money than nvidia gpus in terms of raw processing power, and intel cpu's are great.

i'd rather use a gpu for something useful though, waste of time buying one to mine *coins.
 
No software can ever be completely bug-free. As it happens I know the developer who reported that bug upstream personally. The bug is purely a software-thing, not a design flaw, and the system stood up to the bug because they recovered quickly from it.
However, the stability of Bitcoin depends on many factors, not the least competition from rivaling systems.
Also, I don't think it's easy to predict the stability of bitcoin as the hard limit of about 21 million Bt is getting nearer. The mining difficulty is already exploding and it will soon get much worse after the new cheap ASICS really hit the market, which is about now BTW (although.... I *still* don't know of anyone actually receiving his BFL).

All miners run at the lowest scheduler priority and use up only idle time (i.e. time when the CPU or GPU is running in an endless loop doing "nothing"). Note that most computers are idle more than 99% of the time. Such least-priority tasks work well, but I must confess that for GPU mining, I do notice some lag.
 
So id make £1.50 a day?

Remember in the days when bitcoins value was just starting to rise, as in worth at least a few pence. Loads of IT guys at schools etc linking all the PCs on the network to go, id imagine youd make quite a bit ;)

The PCs at my uni are on 24/7 though in the 24 hour library, only get turned off like once a month maybe for a reboot, cant imagine trying to sleep though with your PC bitcoin mining.

Also 1.50 a day and the risk you might overheat your graphics card, probally better going out and scouring the pavement for loose change, daily.
 
At this point, unless you have a fair wack of cash - not some high spec PC, to spend and know what you're doing, it is practically pointless to bother trying to mine bitcoins. The ship (of opportunity) fucked off about a year ago and as the days go on it only gets harder.

Well I got a ATI 7970 that so far has 50% paid for itself mining away at the litecoins. Not bad when you consider its a £300+ GPU

Feathercoins: you missed the boat a lil there though!
