After my most recent transaction in my wallet the total is XXX,000.00045099 which I though was pretty cool since the total was sooooo close to XXX,000.00000000! I was thinking to myself that I should do something with that 0.00045099, do you see what I mean and where this might be going?
Well I decided to just give it to you - since your post history just made me laugh so hard this morning at breakfast that milk almost sprayed out of my nose and on to the keyboard.
I tried to send it to you but alas the client wanted to charge me 0.0005 to do it. That would never do since my total would then not be the nice round number that I am shooting for. However, later today, if the system will let me do it without that darn fee, I will send it to you!
Thanks for the belly laugh!
You mean you have 100 000+ BTC  ? |

WOW. Those fans are incredible.
Sounds like a jetpack.
But, do they provide enough power so the air goes through all the cards and there are no hot spots ?

Once I can cash in my Gold I am ready to order.
Good luck and pray that you will not find this inside : http://silverdoctors.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/tungsten-filled-1-kilo-gold-bar.html  Also, why not buy BTC directly using gold or after converting gold to USD if you believe in the cause of BTC and willing to invest $25k in something that is a paperweight outside of BTC ? I think people are fooling themselves with these boxes in terms of ROI. I am quite sure that when all these 25 ghash/s rigs come online we will quickly get to difficulty above 2 million very quickly. I don't believe in BTC, only in mining it while it is worth something. If I spend $15k on BTC and then it drops to $1/BTC then I have forever lost money. BUt with the mini rig at $1/BTC it will still bring $4000 USD per year. So it's a no brainer. Funnily enough it is exactly this profiteer nature that I think will be the death of BTC come block reward halving and December 2012. What we need right now is people buying BTC because it has a value ( SR for example ) not people leeching and jumping on the "get rich" train and giving nothing back. Have it your way |

Well i installed simplecoin since i am starting a new ( and for right now Private Mining Pool ) and I am running into issues with not being able to register new users and the site not accessing the Database at all, it tells me the reg was sucsessful but upon trying to login i am unable to get in
if someone can help me out with the setup of simplecoin i would be willing to to pay some BTC ( what little i have which is 0.01387628 but you can have it if you can get me up and running )
When I read this I get the goosebumps. Sounds like another one of the mu5stang / a1bitcoinpool type of pools ... As said before in this thread, running a pool is a 24/7 job for professionals and not something to be done in your mom's garage. I just hope some other poor souls don't get trapped ( like I did before, myself ) in your schemes ( be they malicious or not ). |

I can confirm that there is in fact more people working on the BFL stuff than just Sonny and the Ninja Lady. I've spoken to and worked with one of the engineers... how do you think EasyMiner is being made, out of thin air?
No, we just assumed you and 'Sonny' are one in the same.  I know this is going into conspiracy tinfoil territory but I would not surprise me if gigasvps and Inaba were actually employed by BFL since they seem to be doing a lot of their PR work on these forums ... I don't have any evidence, however ... |

There was some discussion about pin B3 being listed as "reserved" in the older specification for PCI-E.
Are we sure that this should be 12 V and it works without problem ?
Otherwise, excellent guide !
Interesting... I found some other specs online showing the B3 connector as reserved too. Looking a bit deeper though, it appears the spec changed with pcie version 1.1 in March of 2005. ( http://www.fpgarelated.com/usenet/fpga/show/65714-1.php) Original specs are a bit hard to come by but here is another reference supporting B3 as 12v.( interfacebus.com) I am currently using the connector pictured without issue and cablesaurus is using the same 5 connectors. Still, if someone is mining with a 1.0 spec card, x850 or lower, sending power on B3 may not be a good idea. I'll update the guide to reflect that. Thanks! Glad to be of use. However, I doubt anyone is mining with ATI x850 or lower But still good information because I have an old ATI x700 Pro card and if I used that card on an extender it would have fried and people could be blaming you etc. |

I don't quite see why running 100% would be better than autofan setting  100% gets the bearings hotter -> oil evaporates at high temps -> bearing damaged -> fan fails / rattles Autofan can only prolong life of fans I think ... this is questionable theory. fan turning faster means more airflow to cool bearings. its possible that bearing temp is much higher at 30 or 50% than 100. i don't think anyone has done enough actual research to make authoritative claims. I can only offer the information found in my own use, which involved 30 some GPUs from mixed vendors and models over the course of nearly one year. failure rate on fans using variable speed was nearly 50%. no failures in the fans using fixed (high) speeds. whether this was coincidental, or due to the slower speeds the variable fans used, or simply the fact that they ran at many different speeds, or some other factor, who knows. I would like to see D&T's opinion on this. So you would suggest leaving fans set to whatever speed if autofan / variable is prone to failures ? 60% all the time OR automatic ATI setting ? Thanks ! |

Probably the most shady thing about BFL is the long lead time. I still think they are using this to mine on the units so they get half of the unit already paid before they ship them out to the customer. How many units did you see they were "testing"  |

I'm curious about how to acquire these ASICS and how much power they use,the MHash/s (or GHash/s) they produce,how easy they are to setup and how much are they?
I think that I may have to acquire an ASIC to make mining profitable.I was interested in the BitForce type miners though as they look reasonably priced to me (as a man from the UK as USD=less cost in GBP and I'm looking at the 80W power model for 0.8GHash/s)
Since my GPU only gives me 400MHash/s (stable OC for 24/7 operation),that'll put me out of the mining game unless I can get access to ASICs (cheaper than FPGA maybe)
Whats the difference between an FPGA and an ASIC in general as well as mining ability?
Thanks.
Are you bulanula? Sure he is. Did you not know that everybody on this forum is me In fact, it is just you ( terrytibbs ) and my 10 000 sockpuppet accounts on here ! It is the Matrix ! Not everybody that puts spaces in their lines is me ... |

Why not leave autofan on ?
That way it maintains a constant temperature for the GPUs which should be good for longer-term usage.

announcement?
There is talk / rumour of pirate announcing some radical changes to how the purchases run and how the price is determined rather than the current confusing system. Or so I think / hope |

I live in the UK. Got any more information about this icaras guy ? I think he scammed 200 BTC with his bitcoin london con  |

Would SATA cables rated for SATA III work better than SATA II? I don't know if the cables are actually different, but maybe they are.
This made me LOL. Cables are exactly the same. SATA III is just controller mambo jumbo magic. |

i hope this resolves.
Me too. I don't have anything in there now but I could in the future. I thought they were spotless ... till now. |

Looks like too much time to be just sleeping to me Can anyone say "announcement"  |

An update.
I did all the proper steps and modifications to try and get this working on my reference ATI 5870s.
Will post back later with some results but on first sight the VRM temps are too low to be real and probably just core temps.
Runeks fork was even worse and did not even show anything other than "supported device".
Again, 100% reference ATI branded 5870s here ...
Some VRMs are higher quality and are around GPU temps: say, GPU temp is around 85c, VRMs could be around both 120c for older/shittier VRMs (and be within the spec for the VRMs too), and 85c for newer/less shitty VRMs. Turns out you were right ! I started mining and the core on one card using a special cooler was at 39 degrees. Radeonvolt reported the VRM temps as 50 on that card so it seems to be working. Thus, it seems like VRM temps are very close to GPU core temps. Others are having 70 core and VRM at say 90 so that is a +20 difference. On my other cards the core and VRM are almost the same. Does that mean that these GPUs were straight out the factory or something |
