Mining to Purchase Items
Does anyone buy miners in order to purchase things instead of just trying to turn a profit? Ex: if you purchase X product every month and have a miner that can produce the btc for you instead of having to buy the coins from someone else. I'm trying to decide which makes more sense, mining my own then selling the miner later for probably a net 0. Or just purchasing product for a net less.

Any examples of the "10 minute script" that's a theoretical danger in 2mb blocks?
On the bitcoin.org Capacity Increases FAQ, it states that one of the reasons not to have larger blocks is that
it’s possible to construct a transaction that takes up almost 1MB of space and which takes 30 seconds or more to validate on a modern computer (blocks containing such transactions have been mined). In 2MB blocks, a 2MB transaction can be constructed that may take over 10 minutes to validate which opens up dangerous denial-of-service attack vectors. Other lines of code would need to be changed to prevent these problems.
Does anyone know more about this?
Specifically, is there any examples of a single 1mb transaction that takes 30 seconds (or an example 2mb transaction). The FAQ says transactions like these have been mined. Does anyone have any links to those transactions for examination?
I'm trying to understand how a transaction can be so complex that it could do this, like how many inputs it would take, how many outputs, what sized fee it would require, etc.
Next time XT does large block testing on the TestNet, would anyone be able to use that to test a large script like this?
Seems like it's an opportunity to profile the processing subroutines to figure out optimizations and test simple mempool policies to prevent this from occurring.

Devs are strongly against increasing the blocksize because it will increase mining centralization (among other things). But mining is already unacceptably centralized. Why don't we see an equally strong response to fix this situation (with proposed solutions) since what they fear is already here?
Am I missing something simple?

Its been almost a month now since I attempted to transfer 3 BTC from my Cryptsy account to my Coinbase wallet. Despite multiple attempts to contact support there is no response from Cryptsy. I know from this community Cryptsy is no good and its my mistake. Lesson learned thankfully not too much damage but I just want to keep letting people know. DO NOT USE CRYPTSY!

Buy Anything in Korea with Bitcoin with New Korean Buying Service - KoreanBuddy
Hello Bitcoin community. “Heygodard” and I “medicinebottle” are pre-launching our Korean shopping agent service, “Koreanbuddy.” Koreanbuddy.com And as your KoreanBuddy I'm offering "no fees" on your first order! And we take Bitcoin of course.
Why use KoreanBuddy?
Korean sites have great deals and product selection but are extremely difficult to use as a foreigner, trust me I’m starting this service because of personal experience. Now you don’t have to be frustrated, only happy. You can get help from the many shopping guides on our site which give step-by-step instructions on how to find products on various popular sites here in Korea. If someone here wants us to create a shopping guide on another website, just ask.
Anyone can message us here on the Bitcoin sub or through the messenger on koreanbuddy.com and we will get back to you ASAP, remember that we are on Korean time though ;) Also, if you like making your own shopping lists you can upload your own excel file on the site or just email it to us ;)
How do you get the products?
If you want the product quickly 3-5 days? Then EMS (express). If you want to save money and can wait 10-14 days, then regular Korean Post. You can checkout the FAQ section for more.
How much will it cost you?
For your first order it’s free! 10% if you provide the URL of the items you want, and 20% if you don’t have a URL or it’s an in-store purchase. If you pay in bitcoin you get 50% off on fees. So 5% with URL 10% without.
About us
I am a Canadian who has been living in Korea for 4 years. I help organize the Seoul Bitcoin Meetup and I do those monthly meetup growth reports. My partner is Korean.
Please send any comments and suggestions. Thanks!
