Title: Are people buying more hardwares?
Post by: ninjapug on June 27, 2011, 01:41:29 PM
Just after The difficulty increases, the Network Hashrate was 9975.
Today it is at 10375 and increasing. (bitcoinwatch)

Are the existing miners adding new cards or are we seeing more new miners?

If the hash rate remains at 9975 we could see a decrease in difficulty.

 At this point it Looks like difficulty will never decrease now and forever.

lulz! I've located a warehouse full of defunct plasma screens. By the time we've pulled all the FPGAs out and strapped them together we'll be pulling 100+Ghs!
GPUs are history ngas

How are you going to program these FPGAS to get these kind of hash rates?

EDIT:If you get this working somehow I am willing to pay you for the program.

Let me know thanks. I am highly interested in FPGAS but I have seen that their mine rates so far have been really slow.

so lies? no 100ghs? I would imagine you need about 10000 tv's for that at the current rate of these cards in the public forums. Probably even more..

I just acquired a few truckloads of silicon that I'll use to brute-force keypairs and generate coins. I'm mainly in it for the science. Luckily I also know of an abandoned factory that still has active power mains, so I'll just be tinkering in there, setting up a large array of power-hungry machines to fuel my ambitious scheme.

Since I got all the parts below cost, (ie., free), I feel I have a good business model. If you hear of a large fire on the outskirts of town, don't mention my name. Also, I'd run because I'm pretty sure those tanks outside hold more than their share of heavy metals. Nasty stuff.

Lol the characters we get in here  ::). If you were even close to cracking 256 SHA the government would throw you in jail before you even got a real wack at it. Do you know what that would mean for our society ? Every bank that uses that encryption will be rendered useless, and trillions of dollars stolen. Financial collapse, world war 3, lol bitcoins will be the last thing on peoples minds.

Uhh, two posts above you offered money to a guy who claimed he was going to turn a warehouse full of defunct plasma TVs into some kind of bitcoin supermining operation.

You...you are one of the characters here.
