[X] My Assistant

Umm, so all I have to do is go to this page.
https://e-hentai.org/bitcoin.php
Type in $20 USD, and click donate right?

1) How much more will I end up paying?

2) If the BitCoin currency is wiped in the near future (cuz virtual currency hur dur) after I donated, will my donation amount of $20 still remain? E.g. I still have my Bronze star.

All the talk about bitcoin mining and how 1 person can have 0.0023432sa234rewed of a BitCoin hurts my brain so I just need 2 simple answers. Thanks.

A lot depends on the current exchange rate.
Which has kinda been fluctuating, to put it mildly.

This is so aggravating... I loaded some money to donate but the market price keeps fluctuating so at one moment I have enough and when I click to pay, the price goes up so it says I don't have enough funds...

I'm gonna burst a blood vessel.

There is a small leniency on the exact amount donated. If the price keeps going up when you try to buy $20 exactly on Mt. Gox, try paying say $19.95 if it's just moving by a few cents.

As for me, I borked my verification request, yay! Back to 4920 in the queue!

Not quite, transations that have any outputs (including [en.bitcoin.it] change) less then 0.0001 will likely be rejected by the network if it doesn't have a transaction fee. The default client won't even let you sent a transaction if any outputs are less then 0.001 without a fee.

[en.bitcoin.it] https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_fees

Yup, yup, you're right sigo, I was thinking about a transaction of 0.0000001 BTC "theoreticaly" only. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Yup sending to Tenboro directly is a lot wiser that transfering through another wallet in between. On the other hand, I haven't mentioned a few complications there. blockchain.info is not available to the US neither to many countries in europe, therefore it is not a general solution for bitcoin exchange, people in other places will need to use different exchanges. These exchanges might have different (read: excesively high) fees, for example, Frostbite is struggling for a long time to get a decent bitcoin exchange available in his country (I think he is somewhere in oceania).

The same is valid for payza, it is not available for everyone. For example, I live in UK: I can transfer money directly from my bank account to blockchain.info and exchange to bitcoins within minutes, but I cannot use a payza account at all. Britain banished payza from it finacial ecology, we cannot even create a payza account aorund the islands. Strangely enough the headquarters of payza are in London.

After a looong reading, I'm a bit confused on the difficulty thing. Sure, greather difficulty means it will take more time and effort to find blocks but that's how the network works in general.

How difficulty works in a pool?

Slush's pool lets you set a desired difficulty or a calculated one based on the expected hashrate (BUT in GHash/s) for your worker.

My HD 5770 works at 190MHash/s, does that mean I should use the lowest difficulty out of obligation? Or should I use the closest integer to the current difficulty of the network? (ie, 5)

Use 1. Pool difficulty is only for ASIC (Application-specific integrated circuit) miners who work so fast that at difficulty 1 they start DDOSing the pool with their shares.

Which that explains the awkward hesitation for exchange, thanks again for making things clear Blue ^^

@Tenboro: I like you & respect you but it seems I can't do anything to support you via btc.

And definitely not...

Pool difficulty and network difficulty aren't the same thing, and they probably should have used another word for it. Network difficulty is adjusted every 2016 blocks so that, on average, it takes 10 minutes to generate each block.

Don't sweat it. But we're actually getting more donations via BTC than the last shitty jumping-through-hoops payment method we used.

They're different values used for different things but they work exactly the same. You get shares by submitting blocks solved at difficulty 1 (or what ever you set your pool difficulty to) to the pool.

I'm glad that Bitcoin works better for you & most of the donators at least ^^

If I use Direct Donation to donate Bitcoin directly, how will the exchange rate to USD be calculated?

Mt.Gox average at the time I process it, plus the usual 10%.

Is paypal donations not possible anymore, now when the bitcoin thing is there? And would a paypal donation reward the auras, still?

They haven't been possible in a long time.

Ah too bad. Guess i can't do it then. Been looking around and Bitcoins are way to much work to get into, i just want to give money. I'll check later to see if this Bitcoin thing has become more user friendly in a year or so.

You'll never be able to buy them with a credit card, and the need to prevent money laundering isn't going to go away, so it's not going to suddenly get a lot easier.

Those gold stars isn't supposed to be easy to get, i suppose. You really need to earn them after alot of work, figuring all that out.

At the end of the day, the problem is with the large US-based credit card companies, who demand that everyone enforce strict "standards" about their content - and for the most part, that means no porn. By extension, that means that everyone who wants to deal with them has to do so as well.

("But Tenboro", I hear you say, "what about all those other porn sites who accept credit cards?" Well, they basically fall into two categories: safe vanilla porn, and fly by night sites that are small enough to go under the radar. We are neither.)
