I cant really see the melted plastic that well in the pictures, but maybe someone could remove it with a dremel and a very small burr tip. You'll need to clean the pins too, otherwise you won't get a good connection and they will heat up again.

Sounds like a huge hassle, all I know is that my 700 dollar dinner took a millisecond to verify using Bitcoin and I was on my way

Not every place out there has the time to fix every problem on the spot as they happen, BTC is just another means of payment and is a pretty convenient way to do so, the store also benefits on the less fees they pay,

I know the BBQ joint doesn't let you tip with bitcoin. So last time I paid in bitcoin and tipped in cash.

Servers definitely prefer cash tips over debit/credit, so if this is the standard procedure for restaurants that take btc, servers should definitely be promoting payment via bitcoin.

This last time part of me felt like the server wasn't interested in the hassle of bitcoin, and that in fact that machine may have worked but she didn't want to use it, or know how to use it. When she said it had been finicky lately I just opted to pay with cc rather than press the issue.

I asked several times before I was seated which could have avoided the sudden surprise , not everyone knows how to use or know what BTC even is for that matter so it would depend on the server whether or not they want to be tipped in BTC

I'm guessing they use the coinkite terminal but the bitpay app on a tablet is probably a lot easier and most people could pick it up and use it

I also tipped in cash, BTC is still so very new obviously there are probably going to be some issues its just amazing that I got to pay with it when 3-4 years ago when I first found it all you could do was invest for speculation, buy drugs, and alpaca socks

Any future difficulty predictions or thoughts on whether the Bitmain S3 will ROI?

Im not into mining but from what I can see windows and prompt errors are USB related. There was supposed to be just first solution but since you have AVG installed I have to ask the rest of the questions too.

1. In case You havent tried it yet, just unplug from USB port and plug into USB port again, it should load correct drivers. If not working, first time, dont bother inserting again and just leave them plugged in and restart your computer. Wait for a while to load completely, if You have a lot of things on AUTOSTART wait longer. It should work now. If not, try again to unplug and plug into USB. Try changing to port which you know works, one that your mouse uses or keyboard. It could be that just one pair of USB ports is not working.

2. Go to Microsoft Security Essentials website and download MSE. AVG is complete junk when it comes to security or simplicity. Lots of bells and whistles but no substance. To cut it short, it is just bad. Use windows firewall if its Internet security version of AVG. But it will most likely be very hard to successfully perform full uninstall of that piece of s..t called AVG. At least it was last time I gave it a chance.

3. With AVG installation in mind, I have to ask You to look into your update history and perform update of your operating sytem because there is more than one update related to USB compatibility and performance issues. Specifically driver related errors in certain situations.

On the other hand, nothing is error free, including the USB drivers so this could just be driver crash which will be resolved with 1. solution. Hope this helps.

the hashrate doubles almost every ~2 months.
the next adjustment is in 3 days. next one will be around the time you have the miner in the mail. ROI will probably be positive but not by much (if you can start soon)

given that this is a poker forum: this dude is rocking bitcoin at the wsop

5Dimes now accepting bitcoins for USD deposits in an expanding group beta and planning to support bitcoin withdrawals in the future.

Quick question for us gamblers to make sure I'm not completely off base here, I'm thinking about trying to borrow a a few hundred LTC and pay back that amount of LTC + 20% in a years time. Plan is to sell them for BTC, then sit on the BTC. 1 year later sell the BTC and give back LTC. Good bet? Probably wont be able to do it but think there's enough irrational people out there to try it.

you can short litecoin on b i t f i n e x ... (got censored?) and no, i dont think its a good bet right now.

Where did you here about this? There is no info on their website.

I already have a bet on Germany and don't feel like hedging, but currently betting Germany won't win the world cup at: http://bitbet.us/bet/993/germany-wins-world-cup/ pays 3.8:1

Make sure you read the rules and understand their weight system. If you get a heavy bet in on No right now, it should alter the weight big time.

I emailed them about their beta program but don't really see the point. They don't offer any benefits.

value gone, it got hit.

20% might be a bit high, but definitely a bet I'd take.

So you'd be shorting litecoin at its current state? I own a decent amount of litecoin along with bitcoin and was considering going all in on litecoin with the ratio being as low as it is.

Not sure how shorting litecoin right now and having a contract for a year could be a good bet.

Truthfully if you want to go all in, go doge.


The community is amazing and they get awesome press. Litecoin right now is like dealing in pennies wrt to bitcoin, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

All altcoins suck and are bound to fall. I think there's a reason they are all falling. The only alts I'd consider investing in are 2.0 type coins/platforms

Most alts are falling because majority of people are expecting a runup in the price of bitcoin relatively soon. A lot of big things are on the horizon for bitcoin, which is driving the prices of alt coins down. I expect litecoin to be back to the .025-.030 range before the end of the year, and possible much much higher depending on some big news.

What is the point of any alt? I see no reason for growth of any alt at present.

Alts are all pump and dump and none of them can have much longevity.

Shorting over 1 year, pretty sure the gap between LTC/BTC will just grow by more than 20%. I can't really see any instance where LTC grows significantly but BTC doesn't.

I think it is dumb to bet ealy on a game where other people can bet at least until half time.

ATM you can get 2.62 on Argentina here (compared to 2.25 on bet365)
