If I where you. I'd sell 1000 BTC every month for that current prize and fuck my day job. I'd happily pay taxes on that and life my life for the next 31 years in peace and riches..
This sounds terrible. I would pay whatever was required to have all my needs met for bitcoin directly. I bet it would be easy and hardly cost extra in about 3 months. To never touch another dollar would be sweet. +1 Bitcoin is not a get-rich-quick scheme. The end goal of bitcoin is to create a self-contained economy. Why so modest? Let's make it the most trusted global currency. Of course I agree having even a small economy is a step in the right direction  |

I think the solution you referenced will work to resolve the issue. There are some caveats and details to take care of, however, and it will probably take a while before someone implements it and gets a pool going. For now, my suggestion is to let no pool go >50%. I never mine in biggest pool. |

Why is everyone getting upset over FPGAs? They're not a threat at all, and when they do become a "threat", they will be freely marketed to miners.
+1, exactly my thoughts they become threat, after SHA256 become really unusably unsafe[quicker than initially expected], cuz GPU's isn't very suited for majority of other hash'es crunching  while FPGA's stay afloat :-) but by then, fpga code and hw (or ready-made mining stuff based on fpga) might be "freely marketed to miners", so anyone sitting on then-unsuitable GPU can switch. Also, I'm not sure GPUs are unsuited for calculation of the majority of other hashes. Where do you take this info? It would be a great threat to people using ASICs, though. Also: you don't seriously believe SHA256 will become "unsafe" soonish, do you? |

I hope there's still some spots available by the time bitcoin falls to $3.66, because I'd sign up at that price point. Its worth two subcriptions at $1.10. I don't think it will, but if it goes below $4, I'll pay.
1 BTC is 1 BTC. And I humbly predict: it will still be 1 BTC in the future. In other words: I don't quite understand your thinking, unless maybe, you have no Bitcoins at all. Because if you do, that service will be no less expensive for you in the future than it is now. 5 BTC is 5 BTC. |

I am against dark pools. If we are to have a true an open exchange all price data should be immediately available to all market participants. No backroom deals!
+1, magicaltux? just talked to magicaltux on irc. He said implementation of iceberg orders (as discussed here: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=5564.0;all) is in progress. |

I'm hoping a slide down to 5$, hopefully even 4$, but not much more than that.
You intend to snap up some coins at that price range? So what does everyone think is the strongest reason for this massive selloff? Maybe these guys who liked bitcoin enough to totally forget about it and then find 40kBTC on their hard drive. Interesting thought, there's probably something to it. |

Hi everyone,
Is it possible to put together different gpus?
I tried putting my 6990 and 460 together today, but it didn't work. The miner opened and closed before I could read anything.
Use linux, then you'll be able to read what's happening. |

Oh goodie goodie..*jumps up with excitement*  Don't know why, but this made me laugh. Thanks man, you gave me a good start into my day |

I have the computer in my room and have it mining 24/7. I'm leaning more towards the non reference 5870's so that I might actually be able to get to sleep at night.
Sleep? No way! I tried (5970), tried again... then I put miner in wooden box outside on balkony. Don't do it. Noise can cause serious health issues. Think FPGA, maybe? No fan at all |

That's fucking genius! Don't thank me, send me BTC.
Doing both: Thanks! |

please just be careful.
linkedin had an ipo today. if i say 'if everyone on the planet got all their future jobs through linkedin, it would be worth $70,000 a share', that shouldn't make you want to buy it even slightly more.
anything can skyrocket. you still have to decide among all those possibilities where to put your money. a bitcoin in the current block chain isn't the first thing that has experienced exponential early price growth. as they say in america under the regulatory safe harbor, 'past performance does not predict future results'.
BTW, I'm selling tulips. BTC 30 each. Wow almost as bad as my local garden center mike was probably making a reference to the dutch tulip bubble of 1637 ( http://www.damninteresting.com/the-dutch-tulip-bubble-of-1637), no? |

Needless to say, this made me hot.
(looking at your profile picture)... Do you have a rather small head or is that not a cigarette? |

luke-jr, I remember you talking about making a pool with direct payout transactions directly in the mined blocks. I loved the idea, and it's great to see "Generated (1.10078153 matures in 9 blocks)" in bitcoin client. Congratulations on actually doing this, it's awesome! Now if I could just find the address for the european server (couldn't find this in wiki), I'd point all miners (2) there. Maybe you could put that in the wiki: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Eligius ? |

I think you are the single greatest comfort to me right now. I've been freaking out a little about cypherf0x's FPGA claims and the recent jump in difficulty. :-/
what claims? |

Brazil is a completely different culture. Particularly one that doesn't have nearly the faith in, or co-dependency with, their federal government.
Maybe a people using bitcoin would also have a completely different culture. Particularly one that doesn't have nearly the faith in, or co-dependency with, their federal government. |

If the continues rate of hashing growth continues at the current rate of ~2.5%/day then my first number becomes 243254
Okay— so I was off by 0.36%, so sue me. you win |

So in about seven hours the difficulty will change. Where do you see it going next? It is going to be around 156000 today.
My guest.... 170000
My guess.... 222222 So... I'm closer, new diff is 244139, I'm off by -8.9% Did anyone else get closer? |
