Another bubble and people would just laugh, its still to early...
The second bubble would be different psychologically. After all, bitcoin has survived the first bubble. While that was deflating, a lot of people assumed it would burst bitcoin out of existence. On round 2, most people will probably start speculating at what point the reversal will be and thus the bubble probably wont deflate as far as the first one. It might not even be called a bubble in the end, for exactly that reason. |

We _will_ see price movements the coming days. The question is, is whether it's going to be up or down. Personally, as I've explaining before, I believe there's a strong chance of it going up =)
Question answered, Mushoz right, indeedausername wrong. ^^ |

Alternating funding of both Iran and Iraq wars over the past forty years has been classic Machiavellian divide and conquer.
Yeah, the U.S. concurrently arming both sides in the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s was indeed classic, but I'm not sure it did anyone much good long term. Dammit, they quit fighting before they had completely destroyed themselves, what's the fun in that? On the other hand, getting the Iranians and the Israelis to smoke each other for good is an idea with legs. People aint stupid. Shit like that backfires in the long run. US foreign policy is outdated imperalist bullcrap. Listen to Ron Paul and vote for him if you're US citizen. |

No code improvements for higher hashrate yet?
Sorry for the very late reply. Unfortunately, no improvements yet. Once these boards are finally on their way out to customers, we expect to be able to devote a lot more time to that work. When updating software, can you keep in mind your first customers that have x5000? Yes, absolutely. Unfortunately, I really don't know much about the X5000, because it was before my time. We need fpgaminer's help, but he's mostly MIA lately because he is swamped with work and moving to a new apartment right now. Hopefully he will be able to work on this stuff soon. I do know that if you could switch from the Xilinx platform cable to an FT232R breakout board, the hardware and software interface would be identical to the X6500, so all code would be completely compatible. This would also eliminate the need for ISE. Actually, this cable soldered to the correct connector would probably be perfect. If you were willing to pay for the cable, I'd be happy to solder it up and send it to you. At that point, I think you would just plug it in and run the X6500 software (with the X6500 bitstream) and you'd be off and running. fpgaminer, can you confirm that my idea makes sense? Do you have other ideas for how to maintain support for the X5000? fizzisist, I would happily pay for the cable if that method works. I hate that "xilinx platform cable" anyway. You would have to ship it to germany, but it should probably fit in a letter, right? If shipping is prohibitively expensive, I can solder myself given you tell me what goes where. fpgaminer, would that work? Hm, doesn't seem fpgaminer is reading this... |

I personally do not think anyone need to rush to buy Silver. I will pick them up when we have silver prices below 10 $.
You where correct on silver before (May this year?), if I recall correctly. However, past performance is not indicative....  Thanks for your appraisement. |

If you control DNS, you can do all kinds of bad stuff, obviously.
The attack you describe doesn't really involve google analytics, that's just your way of "showing off" you p0wned DNS.

Runs fine on XP, which is good for occasional use.
Sadly still fails on W2k, which is bad for constant use.
Maybe it would make sense to add an option to pause the blockchain download. That might come in handy during the initial download, when you sometimes need all resources for something else.
You can just quit the client and start it again, no problem. You'll have some overhead due to the network reconnect, but it's negligible, I'd say. |

I have to correct my original post: my dealer currently charges €29 (USD 37.88) for a 1 oz maple leaf. That's about 28.5% above spot (using USD 29.5 as spot price). Still high it seems, so I'll look for another dealer. Thanks for your info. |

The politicans of power are not sponsored by ordinary people and credit cards. They are directed by shadowy organizations, you might call them zionists, illuminati, freemasons. The Obama is only a puppet in theyr hands.
fun fact: this guy is a nazi (and I'm entirely serious!) who knew that Bitcoin would attract such people  Confused! Who you referring to as a Nazi? The writer of the post you quoted, or Obama? Personally, I care less, but am curious, hence the question. ~Bruno~ +1 and how does bitcoin come in? who did bitcoin attract? |

@dancupid: yeah, that is the glitch I was referring to in post #169. It was a small code error that would immediately bring the user to the torrent complete status page under certain circumstances before the file had completely finished downloading. I had this problem originally when I first implemented the javascript refresh script too. I have patched it up now, so it should all be fine.
Just happened to me, so not yet fixed. Luckily I know the meaning of !ut, otherwise I might have downloaded a couple of Gigabytes of garbage. "!ut" ?? |

Then again, how much is being donated by all the credit cards companies toward all the political candidates nationally, Good point. let alone worldwide?
I wonder how many other countries have legalized corporate bribery. AFAIK this is pretty much a US thing. No, it's done everywhere. The extent of the openness varies, however. |

I hope someone with a real vision is working on a book about Bitcoin. This forum itself would fill volumes.
lol. making a book from forum posts would probably not make a very good read, though . You're correct, though, in saying that there is plenty of material for a book about bitcoin... even several. Some guy asked somwhere here if a "trader" could write something up for him, because he was writing a book about bitcoin. I guess he's likely not the only one preparing a book. |

SOPA mostly deal with online piracy, and pirates don't pay for the things they download. They didn't pay with fiat back then, and they are not going to start paying in bitcoins now.
http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2011/12/seasonal-flame-bait.html says the piracy target is a diversion 8. So I infer that the purpose of SOPA is to close the loop, and allow the oligarchy to shut down hostile coordinating sites as and when the anticipated revolution kicks off. Piracy/copyright is a distraction -- those folks pointing to similarities to Iranian/Chinese net censorship regimes are correct, but they're not focussing on the real implication (which is a ham-fisted desire to be able to shut down large chunks of the internet at will, if and when it becomes expedient to do so)
Doesn't lessen your argument, though. Also: look at bitcointorrentz.com. Dunno if they're pirates, but people _do_ pay for downloads. |

Then it dawned on me: that was probably the bot that placed these orders Maybe you, maybe someone else using your code. Probably not mine. I never had enough funds to make those nice obvious staircase patterns. There are other bots that do the same thing, such as this one. I checked that one out at some point. Maybe it can be configured that way, but it's standard behaviour does not produce such a pattern. |

Hey guys, maybe someone can answer some questions I have about the silver market: 1.) why do I pay about 35% 29% above SLV (I look here: http://www.kitco.com/charts/livesilver.html) for physical silver at my local dealer (include 7% VAT (!!)) for 999 silver coins, and doesn't this mean the physical market is already decoupled from the paper market? 2.) Some people say SLV is a "slight scam" and you might not get your silver when you ask for it. Instead you might just get "your money back". Is that true? 3.) Some say the current drop in silver price is due to loss of confidence/trust in SLV (people (institutional investors, hedge funds, "normal" people) waking up to 2.) ). Does this sound like it could be the case? 4.) If, as some say, the physical silver will decouple from paper silver at some point, how would that go down? sorry for slight off-topic post, looking forward to answers... |

From a MH/W basis it is hard to beat 5970.
My rigs pull about 250W per card (memory underclocked to 160Mhz).
I run 3x5970 per rig.
Using usb key for OS, underclocked sempron, and MB w/ everything unecessary turned off the entire system pulls ~860W at the wall.
Rigs get ~2.2GH to 2.3GH on 860W or ~2.5 to 2.7 MH/W.
I don't think it is possible to do much better than that unless you go FPGA or wait for 7800 series cards.
that's pretty awesome! |

Awesome GUI!
I must admit I've not been looking at bitcoins gui for many months (since 0.3.x).
Congrats to all devs/testers and whoever else made this nice release possible.
Also: cool, I'm now a millionaire (in µBTC)

I'm pretty sure this is at least a "known" strategy, since it's naive and trivial. Maybe it's too naive and trivial to even be called a "strategy", I don't know.
I believe this is known as a "market maker" strategy. You're not making predictions about price movements (other than that there will be general volatility), you're just profiting by providing liquidity and dampening volatility. I think maybe this is something one can have running when one doesn't know what to do, sort of as a housekeeping strategy.
This is what I've done. It's not nearly as good as correctly calling the big moves, but it's better than doing nothing. I wrote a bot to do the trades for me, although it doesn't specifically try to keep BTC balance equal to USD balance. ahaaaa! gotcha! I've been seeing these equally spaced orders of equal size a while ago. (they where quite big (in sum) and densely spaced, something like 0.05 BTC/USD apart) Just looked through your code and definitely this code will do exactly that: place a given amount of orders equally spaced with equal amount above and below current ticker rate. Then it dawned on me: that was probably the bot that placed these orders Maybe you, maybe someone else using your code. Thanks for clearing that one up for me |

My farm is now nearing physical capacity, both in terms of space and power load.
It is readily apparant that the only way to push my hash rate beyond 14,000 MH/s will be through more efficiently utilizing space/power.
Is there a consensus on what the most efficient GPU's are in terms of hashing power per kw consumed, as well as hashing density?
I know that 5830's are awful, and that 5970's are pretty awesome. Beyond that I am having trouble finding information.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
I had a 5970 doing 799 MH/s (stably for months), while whole rig drew 385W from socket. Whenever I've seen people report similar efficiency, they used 5970. I'm guessing other tech is excluded here, GPU only, right? |
