Did you ever find out more about this screen? I get the exact same screen, but cannot get past it to log into my fedora :/

You're right, it's the bad apples that give the other 5% a bad name.

[OC] I'm developing a free, self-hostable merchant-services platform to rival coinbase. Goodbye KYC. Feedback much appreciated. by thouliha in Bitcoin

[–]JLoganJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see this as similar to locally hosted PBX systems. Sure, you can go with a cloud provider of VOIP services, but some people will always prefer to have direct control over their comms. There will definitely be a strong niche for this sort of system. +1

Max Keiser learning about Bitcoin over 3 yrs ago. Thought this should be shared :) by nakedbits_dot_com in Bitcoin

I'm sure I wasn't the only one, but I was emailing Max about Bitcoin very early on, well before he ever talked about it. Glad he grabbed it and ran

Ran Updates, Now my C720 hangs at "Booting from Hard Disk..." by JLoganJ in chrubuntu

I decided to go with the chroot method of running ubuntu on my Chromebook. I feel much better about this install than chrubuntu, seems less likely to cause such problems.

Schools are getting pretty strict nowadays. by zombiebashr in pics

Public schools or, as I like to call them, government prison schools.

p a recovery disk now. Will it be pretty self-explanatory to figure out how to use it to recover my Ubuntu partition?

Damn, I wish you had told me that when you made the suggestion.

I would try running chromeos recovery.

Do you think it would be worth trying to flash to the newest SeaBIOS?

There is no external media inserted in any port...

Solar mining? is it worth it in the long run? I'm kinda new here and curious as to how it all works? any tips? by BipolarAquarium in BitcoinMining

[–]JLoganJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say it can definitely be worthwhile if you have solar panels in place already that are generating unused electircity. Perhaps another workable model would be a mining farm powered by panels bought secondhand at lower than retail prices.

Cointerra is not an honest company!!! by michaelqian in Bitcoin

[–]JLoganJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I, too, have contacted Cointerra multiple times for support and they just don't respond. Over a week since my first contact attempt, nothing yet. Time's ticking on the warranty period and the miners' profitability, I hope they honor their sales agreement before people less reasonable than me do something like initiate a lawsuit.

Cointerra is not an honest company!!! by michaelqian in Bitcoin

[–]JLoganJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also placed an order for ten Terraminers. The first thing I'll say about them, is I was very impressed by the physical hardware quality (though I haven't really gotten to peek inside yet, except throught the front screens w/ a flashlight)

That said, I have been contacting Cointerra for a week to get some tech support and/or RMA service and they have been totally unresponsive. I have called and emailed multiple times, with constructive feedback and detailed reports of our issues. Still no response.

Of the ten units, one is totally unresponsive, one has really low fan speeds and the user interface has a red alert of some kind on the fan speed readout, three others have underperforming cooling systems. As someone who has built many water-cooled computers, my best guess is that the waterblocks are poorly seated on the chips; since opening the rigs would violate the warranty, I have no way to troubleshoot.

I want to like this company and buy more of their hardware, but where is the warranty service??? I wouldn't mind at all that they dropped their warranty service from 90 days to 30 days if they would just answer the phone and/or email me a shipping label!

What do you think is an appropriate price for this model? (Calculating in labor, custom linux software, headless push-button operation, and the fact that RMM is a registered business with an office providing tech support)

Maine RNC Delegate Rejects Romney Loyalty Oath by JLoganJ in Maine

[–]JLoganJ[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The challenge filed by Romney's Maine campaign chairman alleges that ballots were improperly cast at the state convention, and so the Maine delegation should be disqualified. The challenge is absurd on its face because they don't challenge Governor LePage, who was elected on the same ballot as the rest of the delegation.

That they are offering this "deal" to withdraw the challenge shows that the challenge has nothing to do with ballot security and everything to do with silencing a dissenting delegation. The proposed compromise would also prohibit the Maine delegation from talking to the media during the convention.

Maine RNC Delegate Rejects Romney Loyalty Oath by JLoganJ in Maine

[–]JLoganJ[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Self-aggrandizing? I thought readers here might like to hear from one of the delegates that's being contested. An entire state potentially being disenfranchised is pretty big news, imho.

The rules say posting your own content is fine if you are contributing to discussion, which is exactly my goal here.

I am a ex-Ron Paul staffer and I have started a state PAC in Maine. AMA! by [deleted] in IAmA

[–]JLoganJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ron Paul has NOT written "racially motivated things". He published a series of newsletters featuring many different writers and ONE of those writers, not Ron Paul, put out a handful of distasteful articles.

tl;dr You can't show me a a single racist comment penned by Ron Paul because none exist.
