The only thing it demonstrated is that financial crimes are committed when the payoff is perceived bigger than what the laws can punish you with. This is just as rampant in the traditional banking sector. And there we talk about 5 orders of magnitude larger crimes going unpunished.

Re: Bitcoin mining made easy
Bitcoin is controlled proportionally by every miner, limited by the Bitcoin software every user run. Mtgox was a private company that ran a sort of ponzi scheme.

Re: Bitcoin mining made easy
I see no justifcation for this statement whatsoever - what "control" does mining a bitcoin give? They control what they add to the blockchain. The client software controls what they accept as an addition. Together this is all that controls Bitcoin. In fact the head of MtGox was a "bo...

Re: Bitcoin mining made easy
Since i cannot seem to adequately explain it, let me give you an example: Mentioning litecoin/scrypt in general was not off topic because it ties in via sha/scrypt. What would have been off topic is discussing the different parameters used in litecoin/vertcoin scrypt implementations. I use the word ...

Re: Bitcoin mining made easy
At no point did i not allow critique. I am sorry if you felt that way, but discussing maidsafe implementation details in this thread is in my view offtopic. Not because it would critique Bitcoin (does it even?), but because it is about maidsafe micro details, and so much in the future i would not ev...

Re: Engine Testing - 97.0.1-20-gcd4602b (10. Jun 2014)
Same cfg file was used in both (+the nonexistent file. whats up with that?)
But you are correct. I deleted the cfg file and let springlobby create a new one, and now the performance is equal with both versions.

Re: Cannot Start Game Access Violation error message
I do not know why this config file works but if I edit the settings via "Test Spring", even if I didn't change any settings, Spring will stop working. It appears that the default settings that got appended to the config file caused the game to stop working. This sounds interesting because...

Catalyst 14.10 did not affect the FPS noticeably, but i have not seen a single assert error since upgrading. Only bw & packet limit reached.

Re: Engine Testing - 97.0.1-20-gcd4602b (10. Jun 2014)
The same test without /debug gives these fps:
96: ~50
develop: ~35
This would indicate it has nothing to do with profiler? I will next try and install latest catalyst and see if it changes anything (the testing was done with latest catalyst that is provided by os)

I did a proper test this time with only one spring instance running at a time, 1000 moving flash, and ...

Re: Bitcoin mining made easy

Thats not fanaticism from me, but from you. I was just trying to stay even remotely on topic. I am glad to compare ...

Re: Bitcoin mining made easy
As long as there is nothing better, then even an almost perfect system is worth pursuing. Now 5 years later comes maidsafe, promising to make the almost perfect perfect (also fixing the internet while they are at it). Maidsafe was partly made possible by Bitcoin. Notice how maidsafe and bitcoin have...

This was about the same time i lost my passion for Bitcoin and realized that we need something that fixes its shortcomings. None of the altcoins ...
