Bitcoin lingo for "Would you like a present?" Haha!

I have a slightly slower computer which generated five blocks between the 10th and the 16th of April, but it hasn't generated any blocks since then. Your problem is most likely just the increased difficulty of generating blocks and or bad luck. If you leave it running for long enough, statistically it will eventually generate a block. But the electricity may not be worth it to you. You're experiencing what people with faster computers will experience once the number of computers generating bitcoins doubles a few more times over. Anyway, if you don't think it's worth generating bitcoins on that computer, perhaps there's something, perhaps a service which you could offer in exchange for bitcoins.

You're welcome to send test payments to me at 1Dnvwj3hAGSwFPMnkJZvi3KnaqksRPa74p . I'll announce any payments to that address by editing this post for the next couple days, but I won't offer refunds since the sender can't be reliably verified when a bitcoin address is public. You'll also find more test and donation addresses scattered about the forum. There's a thread for posting static IP addresses which can, whenever a client at a particular IP address is up and running, accept payments and bootstrap your client in case the IRC bootstrap fails.

Does anybody happen to know how transactions sent and received to and from IP address show up in the client? Does it show the other person's IP address in both cases?

I received the following four payments, which just happen to total how much I gifted you. Hey, thanks! I censored the hour to preserve the anonymity of my super top secret time zone. :-P But they all arrived in the same hour.

When total blocks equaled 52727,
94 blocks 04/23/2010 XX:50 39.00
94 blocks 04/23/2010 XX:50 9.99
95 blocks 04/23/2010 XX:32 0.01
95 blocks 04/23/2010 XX:32 1.00

I wish you good luck to generate a Bitcoin fraction with a computer today.
Chinese people have made this so hard to do now...

And more, much more than this, is that I feel like the GPU mining is also getting harder and harder.
Hope you funded enough before the recent difficulty levelup !!
