there is at least one major problem with this:
say we would use two dumbphones with bluetooth (or IR, w/e kind of communication that doesnt need internet or SMS)
so both owners would load theyr wallet.dat on theyr phone
person A buys a beer off person B, and transfers X BTC to person B
thats your idea, right?

now, the current system works becouse person A's wallet.dat will update a block, and delivers that info to the network. the network then verifies this new info (did that specific wallet have X BTC from that block?) and then tells person B's client that the transfer is OK

now, with 2 offline dumbphones, person A could upload a modified/old/otherwise tampered wallet.dat and pay person B with BTC that dont exist/are already spent

person B wont know that, untill he syncs the wallet.dat at home, after wich person A is long gone


paying with mobile phones are ofc the future, but we do need everyone to have internet for it, otherwise its just not safe enough

also, the confirmation time needs to go down, becouse if person A had to wait 5 min~5H for his beer, it wouldnt go very smooth

as for the massive block count: we could use cloud computing for that (use the BTC client on your own computer through the internet for example)

+1

why do i always forget to remember good quotes?!?!

btw: this is going to be *so* epic if the thread is still open when BTC's hit 100 dollar or even 1000 dollar

so peach: do save at least 1 BTC at all times!

just dont use the Xfire cable

and just to be clear: does generation matter? (4xxx+5xxx+6xxx)

cardboard +1
actually, you could just use the box from the motherboard, has some edges too in case something gets spilled or something
and ofc, perfect size

thanks! tried them, and with 128, i get 194.7 as my highest result
what does this do exactly?

edit: found another setting: -v -w128 -f0 gives me 198 max
keeps getting better and better
two days ago i thought all i would get was 140Mhash/s  

edit2:
*dances* using the phoenix miner now, and i broke the 200Mhash/s barrier, doing 208.2Mhash/s now wich is pretty damn good imo
using: VECTORS BFI_INT FASTLOOP=false AGGRESSION=12 -k phatk WORKSIZE=128

thanks for pushing me in this direction, 40~50Mhash/s for free thanks to you

im using CCC 11.5 and im updating to 11.6 right now edit: updated, no noticable improvement
and what are those flags and where can i find/change them?

got a massive increase on openCL miner, from 159 to 166 max
well, okay, not massive, but in terms of % its above what the others got

and it'l come in handy for my mining rig

thanks for the tip and effort, gonna send you a thank you

im running my HD5770 on 925MHz, but only getting 160Mhash/s max (no other use)
on windows 7 ultimate, GUIminer using the openCL

if i read other people's post, i see that theyr getting 200+ Mhash with the same or less clock

what am i doing wrong?

PCI-E x1 to PCI-E x16
and
PCI-E 1x to PCI-E x1

note, im not the seller, i just spotted them and thought more people should know that theyr overpaying for em
only downside is that since theyr located in hongkong and china, the shipping will take some time (~2weeks)

if the ads are gone, click here for the ebay search and looke for em

or search for PCI extender yourself 

das waar
ben van plan te kijken wanneer de prijzen lekker genoeg liggen om ff te cashen wat ik heb geinvesteerd, en daarna gewoon lekker te sparen en eens in de zoveel tijd (denk aan 1jaar oid) extra cashen
mss m'n mining zooi wat upgraden (ga nu voor 1x6990, als ik die kaart kan vinden, later dan mss 2 ofzo )

he forgets to mention that if its not a good PSU, itl take the rest of the hardware (mobo, CPU, GPU, RAM) with it
you can skimp on anything, except PSU imo

i think its far from sailed
already the prices on tradehill are going back up again (17.2 dollar latest as of now) and mt gox opening up in 3 hours, alot of extra trading will start

so im guessing itl rise to 20~25 quite quickly

not really, just a whole damn lot of luck...

will you ship to the netherlands? and how much would that cost?

you can get these for free easely mate

hmm, so i havent had a reply yet from all the companies, is this common?

edit: i've received an e-mail from shopto saying that they might consider it. the e-mail got stuck in my junk box so i didnt see it right away
also, ive sent an inquiry to the game lord of ultima, part of EA, don't think a huge company like that would accept them on a large scale right away, but who knows what happens if a smaller part of them accepts them...
snowball effect ftw

dan gaan we zien wie er ballen heeft!
ik ben gewoon van plan om te blijven minen als het niet rendabel is met elektriciteit (heb ik het geluk dat ik dat niet betaal)
maar zelfs als ik het wel betaalde zou ik doorgaan, want zodra het niet meer rendabel is voor de meesten, zullen er een hoop afhaken en wachten tot het weer goed zit
in de tussentijd word de difficulty (met wat geluk) wat lager enzo, dus dan kan het júist een stuk beter zijn

bovendien ben ik toch niet van plan om die bitcoins die ik mine snel te verkopen, mss wat speculeren en wat extra mining spul ermee kopen

groeten uit den haag!

true, but then theyr generated at others (ie theyr own) pools, so more profit for them
most pools handle a fee of at least 1% or so, so the more people hash with them, the more money they get from it
ofcourse blocking one pool doesnt mean that all the users go to your pool, but at least a portion of it will
