#150 Esea Client Mining Bitcoins in Off Topic

Lure.

TronPaulfrknsinnerI'm going to play a little bit of devils advocate here and just say the amount of people coming out and saying their hardware got borked is almost as sketchy as esea using users to mine for bitcoins.Yes. I ran folding@home on my (overclocked) cpu and gpu 24/7 for 4+ years and never had either fail. I'm sure some people actually did but most of them are full of shitThat depends on how well the mining code was written and how "nice" it was (ie how aggressive it was in taking resources). Folding is written by people who probably know more about what they're doing than the ESEA anti-cheat developer team. Would love to see the bitcoin part of the source code, but I don't expect that to come out unless there's a lawsuit.

Oh, if there is more to it than just 100% load then I don't know what I am talking about. Figured that was the basis for failure.

#129 Esea Client Mining Bitcoins in Off Topic

I'd be willing to pay $30 to play in a TFTV league, 60 teams * 6 players * 30 $/player = $10,800.

There would be A LOT of obstacles to overcome but it would be possible. Would be a long time before it could reach the scale of ESEA, but as least it wouldn't be run by scumbags.

Honestly though, I hope this doesn't kill ESEA.

#77 The Future Of Competitive Team Fortress 2 in TF2 General Discussion

infinite-What would be best, IMO, would be for UGC, ESEA, CEVO to combine resources, work together, and throw a large online tournament for 6s and highlander. Between the three leagues there are enough resources available to do something awesome. ESEA's infrastructure (Anti Cheat Client, servers), UGC's huge player base and community outreach, CEVO possibly expanding to highlander finally, and then of course all the community leaders who cast, write predictions, etc. I guarantee if we did this right we could get valve to support it in one way or another as long as it's not-for-profit. LANs are extremely expensive, tons of cash is lost in overhead, and then of course there are some serious liability issues that make it impossible to run one on our own unless it's under a blanket company w/ insurance. An online tournament with the goal of making competitive tf2 accessible to the masses is the only way to go.

Won't happen, ESEA is a business.

#41 Your smoking story in Off Topic

AMCWhile it is true that you replace one addiction with another, an addiction to coffee and energy drinks isn't going to be as life threatening, or quite as long lasting or powerful/hardtostop in the long run.

This is very true and of course a caffeine addiction is certainly a better choice. However, quitting via this method can also make you more prone to relapse. But it seems to be working for you, so everybody's different and it can work.

#39 Your smoking story in Off Topic

AMCI worked cigarettes out of my budget immediately, (the strongest thing you can do to kick the habit is spend that money on other things. If you get the craving, scrounge up 6 bucks and go to the gas station, make sure you walk out with energy drinks and candy or something similar, preferably a stimulant, or tightly budget your free cash so that you can't buy it at all. If you quit smoking, look at your budget and understand how much money you saved by quitting and spend that on something else. Actively thinking about the money you are saving and using it on other things turns the element of greed in your favor, instead of it being against yourself.)

I feel like replacing one addiction/dependance with another isn't the best way. But hey, if it worked for you, more power to you.

#36 The Future Of Competitive Team Fortress 2 in TF2 General Discussion

Stochast1ccrumpet#11 nobody wants to pay for pugs on a shitty client when they get them for free already
And that's why I said make them not terrible. Incentives such as winning small prizes can mitigate the cost to pay. Actually having a system where hackers can't ruin pugs would be something that is worthwhile. The more we were to actually use ESEA pugs the lower the possibility of ESEA dropping us.

ESEA just increased the tf2 prize pot, made invite bigger, and appear to be scheming up a main division in the future (moving up all 16 open playoff teams). I don't think they're going to drop us.

Not that I disagree with the notion that using the ESEA pug system would be a good idea.

#244 how do you think australia will do at i49 in TF2 General Discussion

mustardoverlordSalamancerI think it's because the US teams didn't have a lot of extra time, and they were both feeling some pressure to perform well. I know those guys can have a good time when they put their minds to it.
hrg is like the worst invite team at drinking tho, too many relatively straight-edge nerds and the 12 year old lansky

shade is going to have to hard carry

TheFragilefrknimo plat is a better pocket than demo...however there are more good pockets then demos, hence why he's played demo a lot the past few seasons.
He's also one of the only demos that could match b4nny.

Yeah, exactly my point. He didn't trust other demos to be on his team against b4nny so he did it himself.
