Under linux? Under windows that's not true. What do you mean? Can you underclock more than 100 Mhz below the GPU clock or can you not underclock at all (meaning that you can set the value but it wont be honored)? |

If i'm not mistaken we got a difficulty decrease only 1 time.
nope, twice |

I've done this before but the card itself appears to ignore the settings. I have 6950, 6970, and 6990 and they all seem to blow through the "peak", whereas a 5870 follows the clocking request quite closely. Do you actually get the 69xx to clock down the memory when it's under load?
Ah, you are quite correct. The peaks show lower but the actual clock doesn't come down. Do Windows users get this as well? aha! just found some info in another post: https://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=18107.msg229587#msg229587apparently you can underclock ram down to 100Mhz below core clock. EDIT: actually, it seems here, I can go down to 800Mhz |

I don't know of a way to underclock a 6990's memory under Linux as yet. amdoverdrivectrl will lower the minimum memory clock but if you look at it in aticonfig, current will still be at 1250 even though target is set to 300.
I'm wondering this, too. The card just seems to ignore the "Peak Clock" setting and use "Current Clock" above that anyhow. What good is this? I hope someone finds a solution. |

Ah, you are quite correct. The peaks show lower but the actual clock doesn't come down. Do Windows users get this as well? I can verify this problem. Using my self-made tool that uses adl-calls to set the clocks of all 3 performance level. This method works on a 5970 and it works to set the Peak clock, but the card simply ignores the peak and aticontrol --odgc reports "Current Clock 1250 Mhz, Peak Clock 150Mhz". Damn you, amd |

It ran up from $1 to $30 really quickly. a price drop back down to $15 or even $8 is not going to cause a loss of interest.
The reason why it will cause loss of interest is that mining is not profitable anymore. I think this is a big part of the whole bitcoin craze. It will still have some interest, but it will lose alot. Bitcoins are mined at the same rate regardless of difficulty. This seems wrong. If that were true then what would be the point of having "difficulty" at all? I thought difficulty affected how long it took to solve a block? It affects how long it will take given a certain hashpower (of -say- a single miner). It keeps how long it will take for the combined hashpower of all miners at a constant level (50 BTC in 10 minutes) |

MtGox won't let me put in orders smaller than 0.1
Everytime I put in a value less than 0.1 (such as 0.05), it gets red and won't accept it. How are people doing that?
use the mtgox trading api: https://mtgox.com/support/tradeAPI |

If you look at the 'Related information' section beneath: "IMF boss calls for global currency 10 Feb 2011 Dominique Strauss-Kahn, head of the International Monetary Fund, thinks a new world currency would calm economic instability and curb the dollar's power" and "World Bank head calls for debate on new gold standard 8 Nov 2010 Robert Zoellick argues more co-operative monetary system would increase investor confidence and stimulate growth" Oh the irony  whaaat? That's perfect! These bigshots want bitcoin to succeed... awesome! |

Sending the wallet file does not send the money to the recipient. At best he now has an equal access to the money - he must trust that the sender deleted the wallet file. Unless he perpetually trusts the sender not to spend that money, he must execute a transfer to a wallet of his own creation, over the bitcoin network.
True, it's just like a "normal" transaction. |

I'm getting deafening silence from my python websockets client today. This is sad, since I use it to give pricing cues on bitoption.org; I've noticed some websockets-gox stuff is working right now, some is not.
Any indications as to what's what and why?
There have been 2 periods where no trades happened and the websocket was dead, apparently some mysql troubles. Maybe you stumbled into one of these. |

Gold's initial "use value"? was a lot more than that. Gold has over a dozen properties that make it an excellent store of value over other resources. One of them being durability. How durable is a hard drive?
A bitcoin wallet can be made quite durable by distributing an encrypted copy to many places. You can even extract the keys and print them (maybe also encrypted) on a piece of paper... or carve them in gold  Maybe not as durable as gold, but durable enough, I'd say. |

Bitcoin has pretty strong privacy for the average person or business.
True. And the way for police to investigate / monitor by looking at ip traffic is not as simple as Jeff tried to make it look to the journalists. How are they going to detect a payment to - say - silkroad, let alone after the fact? Am I missing something? Also: when time comes we can move to btcfn (bitcoin over freenet) You know what? There is a simpler way: create a new wallet, fill it with money, encrypt it, sell and send the whole wallet to someone via email. Done. Do it via multiple jurisdictions and the trace is easily lost. There's a patch (I think it will be pulled in) that allows import/export of keys from/to a wallet, making what you suggested even nicer (also makes bitbills easier to redeem) I fail to see how that's simpler (from a user perspective) than btcfn would be. Start freenet, start bitcoin, use as normal. |

Wenn das so ein lukratives Geschäft wäre, und ohne viel Bürokratie,
Rechner zusammenzubauen, zu warten und zu reparieren,
und sogar Software dafür zu schreiben, dann hätte ich mich schon vor über 10 Jahren damit selbstständig gemacht.
Ich kenne den Markt, und muss sagen, dass es sich imho nicht lohnt einen Computerservice in die Welt zu setzen.
(Die Kunden rennen lieber in die einschlägigen Fachgeschäfte, lassen sich beraten,
kaufen sich dort 'nen 0815-Rechner, oder bauen sich ihn selbst zusammen.)
...
Dann noch die Garantie, Gewährleistung und Produkthaftung, da ist mir das Risiko zu hoch.
Einen Monat läuft's gut und sechs Monate sitze ich auf'm Trockenen.
Ne, da wünsche ich viel Spass.
Es ist derzeit durchaus ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal, BTC zu akzeptieren. Daher halte ich solche Unternehmungen durchaus für möglicherweise lukrativ. |

nice! When I looked at the site, I thought I'm seeing my own python app.  very similar display of depth data. One differency strikes me, though: you're ordering the asks the other way around than me. I think having the lowest ask at the bottom makes sense: You have the bids coming down on the left and the asks going back up on the right. So it's shaped like a "U" with the lowest point of the U being where the action is. So by looking at the last line, you can already tell what the lowest ask and highest bids are. With your ordering, I have to look at the last and the first line.. confuses the hell out of me. While that's probably because I'm used to my own ordering, I would still like to suggest you think about this and maybe change it. Thanks for your work, Clark, it's really pretty cool. |

I like the subtitle: "Shock: people buy drugs with currency" that subtitle is actually extremely funny and also hits the nail on the head. could've stopped right there. |

Kann mich dafür begeistern, akzeptierst du pp?
er sagt: "zum aktuellen BTC-Kurs", also will er wohl bitcoins, oder? Hast du denn keine? |
