Are you talking about temp measured on the board (under the heatsink) or directly on the BE100 chips themselves?

My board temp stays around 32°C right now in a vertical setup, but it used to go up to the 40s °C during summer. Sometimes I would get x'es instead of O's in the Chip: status line, but tuning voltage (V1 blades here) and a fan cleared the problem.

I'm afraid the answer is that the Windows HAL will not recognize more than 4 GPUs (categorized as display device) on any system.

So the culprit would be the OS, not the hardware. If that is the case, I would suggest a Linux-based rig instead.

EDIT: more info in this old post that I just Google-digged.

The order book for both coins is still pretty shallow, I think the profitability of these coins would fall once enabled on Multiport

Thank you guys, you convinced me, you've got my money

Now please show the world how Swiss guys handle things when it comes to timely delivery

I can't wait already...

Cheers and Happy New Year to the Bitmine team!

For those who like alt coins and would like an automatic profit-switching pool like Middlecoin, but without automatic conversion to BTC, there is Multipool.us with a friendly user interface.

My best guess is that it will be back to $1200+ within 3 months.

Obviously, China triggered a selloff that chilled off some investors (i.e. big whales in China)

This is just temporary, it will pass...

Good luck with that... especially when your lawyer will ask you about the ToS.

This doesn't mean that it's okay that they don't refund the money, I lost about 1 BTC myself from my account so obviously I'm not happy with it. But the most efficient way not to get ****ed again is just to set the auto payout threshold as low as reasonable (i.e. at least once every day).

I would also advise you to be careful, or at least expect delays with withdrawals.

Bitstamp is a safe alternative, especially if you are in the SEPA zone.

I still believe there should be a better way to distribute the money supply.

I have bought a small amount of NXT already (about 3000) but even so, I can't imagine forging more than a few, hopefully, every month.

There should be some clever incentive to bring more coins during a 'land rush' phase of some kind

Don't forget about the block reward halving at block 100'000... it will happen much sooner than other coins out there!

If Ripple scares you because you think it would get you rich, but you will miss the boat, then... buy some XRP

There are so many nice things about Ripple, I agree with saying that it shouldn't be compared like "another altcoin out there". Both Ripple and MasterCoin are interesting to watch, even if they are very different by philosophy (open) and carrier (Bitcoin block chain), they share some features in common especially the multi-currency aspect.

BTW, I have more BTC on my (evil, closed source) Ripple account than I have XRPs

It's possible that it falls below BTC profitability at payout, but no one can predict the market

You can still use the BTC port to be safe if you don't want to take chances.

I'm not in the UK, but thanks for the advice.

I will also post in the Bitcoin Foundation forum, in case anyone has a contact address to investigate further.

Sincerely, I hope nothing bad happened to him (just like creativex, although I had already liquidated all of my assets with him)

In other words, the most likely cause that you can't express would be something like: I did not, <gag>I trusted someone who had control over the BTC and misbehaved, but I can't say it, because I have started a legal procedure in hope for a bargain agreement / partial / total recovery of the funds, and exposing my facts / claims to the public could be used against my interests during that procedure</gag>.

Or maybe that person is a relative of yours. I don't know. I don't really care... should I?

While others seem so upset by the mystery, I am simply concerned about the recovery of my debt, and I think everyone should mostly focus on the most promising path towards that recovery. All the rest should stay a private matter, that's the best resolution for everyone. May it be as quick as possible!

This is a very good piece that pretty much says it all...

I still believe the US has all the dynamics needed to move forward, adapt and compete in this new world setting, but those who missed the wind of change have yet to acknowledge that new setting first.

With all due respect, let's rather:

• Just focus here on getting the remaining 95% repaid to BF/WeEx users (this topic)
• Create or join another topic for the Ukyo.Loan, because if you granted Ukyo a loan, I'm all sorry for you but at least you did (and he did not repay it yet), while "we" (here on the topic of BF/WeEx) never granted Ukyo any loan at all in the first place

I'm not denying your right to ask Ukyo's attention to repay his loan eventually, but let's not forget the above, please.

I think you tend to oversimplify things a bit.

Of course, I agree that any amount of Bitcoin that you are sending away from your own wallets are at risk of loss, by definition.

But you have to admit that beyond the pure technical aspects of transactions and wallets, any economical system involves contracts at some point.

There is a significant difference in the semantics behind:

a) bitching about a breach of contract for "ethical" reasons (i.e. boo hoo),
b) defending one's interest after a breach of contract (i.e. due diligence)

While your reasoning applies pretty well to a), it ignores b) and makes it like there is nothing to be done after a breach of contract.

I will not waste my time and others' for a) here. If Deprived never shows up again, I will write off my loss as you say. I will survive, and yes, I knew it could happen. But I would be a fool and a bad manager if I wouldn't try to identify Deprived IRL and use any legal means necessary *and* proportionate to my debt due to recover it, by due diligence.

I'm just too poor to do nothing about it, at least yet

You know what?

As a liberal, non-US citizen, I agree with the last part of your reasoning.

When I was 14 (I'm now 32), I was admiring the US so much, it was really the land of my dreams, as it embodied my ideal of a leading nation in the world, producing most of its technological advances, enforcing an ideal of freedom and democracy, etc.

I had the map of the US pinned to my wall. I learned the (US) English language, the geography and the 50 states, the history, the constitution, I impregnated myself with the culture through the exported TV shows and movies (at least the mainstream thing, carried by the mass media). I learned about Thanksgiving, Halloween, jocks and nerds, bullies in high school, the proms, US football and the cheerleaders, so many things we didn't have on the other side of the pond.

Overall, my vision of politics and the world — as a teenager in the 1990s — was that US standards were indeed far above those of other countries, and that what could be perceived as arrogance was merely a byproduct (or collateral damage as they would later say) of excellence, or simply plain jealousy. But all in all, the US deserved respect from the rest of the world because they had achieved so much.

It's hard for me to say that my vision has changed since then. Of course, I'm no longer a teenager and even the thought of any nation embodying any ideal seems totally naive to me now. But specifically about the US, I have visited that country almost 10 times in my life now and since that infamous 9/11 (or is it a coincidence?), and I feel like things have changed.

I still have a positive opinion, overall, and a lot of respect for the US as a nation in the world. But I'm afraid that many US citizens are blinded by the fantastic achievements of their nation in the 20th century. The world is evolving, very fast, and the focus of economical growth has shifted to Asia and other places in the world. The US is still among the world leaders, but it's got competition.

tl;dr:
You WERE right, 30 years ago.
Now that we're in 2014, I would strongly recommend more modesty towards the rest of the world, for your own sake!

Cheers

PS: some useful fact checking here (i.e. US still doing good but competing with many others)

• List of countries by GDP (nominal) per capita
• List of countries by GDP (PPP) per capita
• List of countries by Human Development Index
• PISA 2012 test results
• List of countries by military expenditures

... and don't forget about the debt, we are Bitcoiners for a reason ;-)

The NSA almost succeeded in making the whole encryption process a ridiculous masquerade by backdooring the PRNG

Actually, the NSA are doing a really good job, since they are by definition supposed to crack any kind of encryption, and establish global surveillance over global communications.

The question is why bother with "official" encryption in the first place, when we know that it's so weak. If I wanted to plot against the US Government, I wouldn't trust my /dev/random to be really (even pseudo-) random, when it comes from a "Designed in Cupertino" machine. Likewise, I wouldn't use any cipher algo that was designed by... the NSA itself

IMHO, the real Snowden effect is just a confirmation that mainstream, consumer-grade encryption is a farce: one the one hand, you have the US Gov. (DHS etc.) admitting that they will spy on any foreign (?...) communications, on the other hand, you have legal systems that are sold with the claim that they offer "privacy". It's just not compatible.

Many non-US businesses (i.e. cloud) are already benefiting from the Snowden effect, and the trend should continue. It's so obvious...

LABCOIN had the taste, the color, the shape, the smell and the sound of a scam.

Wouldn't say that for Ukyo's exchange, even though WeEx was always looming behind.
