1 GHash/s = 1,000 Mhash/s so 6.8 Ghash

I always wondered about that - cos really it should be 1024MH/s (call me pedantic)

I know the difference is not much, but it really does add up, if you are running a decent set up (like my upgraded LS & Jalapeno will be putting out a combined 37GH/s - which if it was 1024MH/s per Gh/s would be the equivalent of an extra 888MH/s)


Why do you think it should be 1024 MH?  These aren't bytes... (or bits, from whence your confusion likely springs)


Yup - that was where my initial confusion came from - logic dictated that it would be a straight 1000, but some tiny bit of me wanted that extra 24 (it is my optimistic side, and therefore tiny, sadly)

At least I have the right of it now. Cheers Smiley

I'd agree and say that it is confusing. A lot of people just use it incorrectly, and aren't aware of the difference between a megabyte (MB) and a mebibyte (MiB) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mebibyte

Hello,

Just used BitInstant for the first time. Everything worked out nice and quickly. Unfortunately, in the half hour it took me to run to the store for the money gram, the price of BTC went up a bit. When all was said and done, I ended up with ~0.978 instead of 1.0 BTC. I guess there is no way to make up that difference? I'd hate to do another full order + fees + trip to the store just for that tiny amount.

Thanks.

Your price is not locked in when you create a quote.  Regardless, if you think you have an issue that needs correction then it should go to support.bitinstant.com

Alright, that's what I had figured. Guess I'll have to make another trip to the store tomorrow. Lesson learned here: purchase a little extra just to be safe. And maybe keep some extra BTC in your account on the off chance that you do come up a little short.

vrusso123,
Yes, it was for a purchase. I was hoping to make the purchase tonight, but I should be able to make it just fine tomorrow. I was just hoping to avoid having another trip to the store and fees.
