Well fuck me, I'm out of coins, and MtGox is acting funny.

Satoshi Nakamoto, faceless, extremely anonymous, perhaps shy, with an unknown home of abounding alacrity, advocated to pulverize every of the worst shortcomings of Fiat; and had endured for many years on the Internets, intending very much to replace and vaporize banknotes.

Processing a proof of work server-side is just like mining, isn't it? In regards to the hashing operation that takes place - it just processes specified nonces and not random ones. I haven't really thought about it until now, but for a 1Thps pool, about how many nonces does it need to validate per second? I can see how a slow CPU would be a bottleneck, and I wonder if pool software could offload that processing to a video card - otherwise faster devices will trounce 'most any pool.
I haven't run the numbers, but if we assume that a dedicated server might be able to process perhaps 10mhps in a single thread (and that might be a bit high), is that enough to deal with (perhaps several) 1Thps miners flooding it with nonces to process?

Yes I believe it's about time the sticky was un-stuck; let it sink to the bottom.

MtGox fucked up precisely once in their entire history.
Bitcoinica fucked up 3 times.
I guess that depends on how you define "fucked up". They have had several errors along the way, but only 1 known major hack. Remember ~ BTC2k that disappeared? Thanks to mtgox screwup in conjunction with Eligius processing nonstandard transactions. |

p.s. write in the first post what theymos said  Thanks for the suggestion; I've added a few notes relating to that to the first post. So you may be wondering whether you should trust someone based on those fancy coins under their name, or perhaps their post count. The short answer is: Do not use these rankings to determine trust!
This post is intended to show you as a future trader how easy it is to get a rank, so that you can be wiser when conducting a trade. As a side note, I always recommend using escrow when possible, especially when you have not previously traded with someone. Always read their posts in their profile to help determine whether they are contributing positively and to attempt to determine trust. Search the forums for more detail and read the other stickies relating to trading discussions and trust. Basically, escrow means that you agree with your trading partner who to deposit coins with for safe keeping. Once you have decided on an existing known user that has provided such services in the past, negotiate with him for rates (some do it for free), and then the buyer deposits the coins with the escrow provider. Once he has confirmed the deposit, he will notify the seller to ship the item. Once the item arrives and is to your satisfaction, notify the escrow provider and he will release the coins (minus a fee, if any) to the seller. |

Mtgox has a market in pesos don't they? Maybe he is doing some 3-way arbitrage with bitcoins, USD, and Pesos.  |

Given BFL's previous supply issues, does anyone think they'll be able to put out more than almost 1300 singles in a 3 month period? I think the initial runs of singles will be massively profitable for the early adopters.
Not knowing the current sales numbers, it's hard to say. However, if I made a guess that the ones actually posting on the forum that they have gotten a device represents one fourth of customers (number pulled out of my ass), then I would say they might be able to hit that especially since they have an opportunity now to tune the production line. |

Wow, $90 for that? Wouldn't you be better off picking up a decent 850W PS on sale than running that in one of your drive bays?
I'll bet you would be hard pressed to find a PSU for that old of a PC that has the correct 24 pin mobo connector or enough wattage.An aftermarket PSU dosen't just plug & play when they are IBM,Dell,Compaq,etc,in most instances  Uh, yeah they do. Most good PSU's have the last 4 pins of a 24-pin disconnectable, to be compatible with any of the older motherboards as well as the newer ones. Surprisingly often, old Dells had a completely rearranged connector pinouts, even though the connector fit. Swapping a non-dell PSU would fry the board. |

Those are SATA drives? Looks like the caddy has SCSI connectors.
Also, what are the audio jacks for?

Unfortunately, it isn't in n00bese, so I would need another source for the difficulty factor. Difficulty is the fourth column from the right. |

Satoshi Nakamoto, handsome, brilliant, and rich, with an unknown home and happy hashes, seemed to demolish some of the worst shortcomings of Fiat; and had endured over nine-thousand years in the Internets with very little to distress or vaporize Blueseed. I'm not sure of the grammatical correctness of that last bit ever since Blueseed (?) was introduced. |

Wow, what an interesting thought. A curses based ticker/orderbook integrated with some kind of command-line trading client. I wonder if someone could create a frontend/proxy to do that. Sadly, it would probably be used only by a dozen or so hardcore nerds around the world.  |

Are we going to build a house? I can do basic structured wiring.
Plan is not being divulged at this time.Do you have qualifications or work experience? Just trying to accurately determine the level of experience for each person in their field  Aha, none that I care to share. No qualifications that I will list but I am capable of the following: Medium and low voltage wiring; residential, commercial, and industrial. Panel building and control wiring. Network cabling (but not fibre) and interconnects, including punchdowns and telephone. Basic network and server administration. Troubleshooting <-- this is the big one. Hope it helps. |

How much power do these SC devices use?
I don't think there is any info about that yet, just that the Jalapeno is powered via USB so that's like 5V ? Quoting from Wikipedia in regards to USB power limits: The USB 1.x and 2.0 specifications provide a 5 V supply on a single wire from which connected USB devices may draw power. The specification provides for no more than 5.25 V and no less than 4.75 V (5 V±5%) between the positive and negative bus power lines. For USB 3.0, the voltage supplied by low-powered hub ports is 4.45–5.25 V.
A unit load is defined as 100 mA in USB 2.0, and 150 mA in USB 3.0. A device may draw a maximum of 5 unit loads (500 mA) from a port in USB 2.0; 6 (900 mA) in USB 3.0. There are two types of devices: low-power and high-power. A low-power device draws at most 1 unit load, with minimum operating voltage of 4.4 V in USB 2.0, and 4 V in USB 3.0. A high-power device draws the maximum number of unit loads permitted by the standard. Every device functions initially as low-power but the device may request high-power and will get it if the power is available on the providing bus. |

All the profit come from new customers without trades.
If you or anyone else actually believes that I have bridge in Brooklyn going real cheap.. Put on your reading glasses and stop misquoting me. I said that was my best guess, not that I believed any such thing. Since you seem to have inside information, would you care to share any more with us? Preferably in sentences that could be read easily, utilizing useful things such as punctuation. |
