I know you said we can't turn in two items to get a "free" single back. But if we want to upgrade to even something higher, can we turn in singles to get the 50% credit of that purchase price?
That's what it sounds like. My best guess is that they are priced 51% above cost. All the profit come from new customers without trades.

Let's say I place an order for some ASIC singles when you start taking pre-orders.

When they are ready to ship can I drive my FPGA singles up there and get the ASIC's?

I plan on using a 1000W inverter in my truck and my verizon wireless internet connection with a hp thin client to start mining in the fucking parking lot.

I will mine all the way home to Dallas.

I have made it from Dallas to KC in under 5 hours averaging 115mph on the Turnpike.

I will drive slower on the way home since I will already be mining.  Cheesy
Lol awesome, but I doubt the cell connection would remain connected at that speed. Grin

Well,if you really want use these PC's for mining get one of these & put it in your drive bay  Cheesy

May not run a 5970,but anything smaller should be no problem.
450 watts would run a 5970 easy, even with an overclock. But the funky PCIe slot would be a PITA.

An entire pallet of those usually go between $750 and $2k depending on the quantity and quality/type at the local state auction every 2 months. Just to help you get a feel for the value. Most of the ones I have seen being sold were old P4s, but some has C2Ds.

1326  Other / Off-topic / Re: I forgot how much reading the bitcoin lifestyle demands... on: June 22, 2012, 07:14:56 PM
Dear God we read a lot,
I cant believe how much time i spend reading and have spent reading in the name of btc.
Only now rejoining the communnity do i see the contrast, for the first time in the last three months i stayed up until 2am while having to get up at 5 am, also i am typing this and reading at work lol.
Basically I relapsed on my addiction to bitcoin.
What's the best way to kick it in the first place?  Undecided

And yes, the board allows you to ignore entire sections in your preferences in order to make it ever so slightly more manageable.

Just on a general note:

Be careful with buying codes of prepaid card from strangers.
Also, use escrow. Not difficult.

I am afraid it is not that easy.

If you are not sure of the actual orginating source of the prepaid payment option, you should be very careful. Did the codes come from a legit source, or is it attached to criminal activity. In the latter case, you may think you're completely okay, until you find yourself in a host of legal trouble, and then - unfortunately it's to late to avoid the trouble. Even though you are rightfully 100% innocent, law enforcment will have to establish that fact before agreeing with you, and that procedure is not always the most pleasant to go through..

Personally I would never buy a code for any prepaid payment option from anyone but a reputable seller or reseller, that doesn't include internet strangers.


That's why I mentioned above that obtaining the receipt is a good idea.

oh, and your namecoin address has to be the same as your bitcoin address

which leads to all sorts of shenanigans, which i'm not going to trifle with!
No, you as the node operator get all the merged mining profits unless you set up a way to distribute them.
1329  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why is CryptoXChange so slow? Or is it just me? on: June 22, 2012, 06:12:36 PM
I mean 30 to 60 seconds per page slow.  

I remember them being slow when I last used them 6 months ago it seems nothing has changed.
Same for me. I think they moved their servers out of AU, which is why it was slow for me previously, but if that's the case it didn't help much. If they are still hosted in AU, well then blame the shitty submarine links.

Network speed usually doesn't affect web server speediness as much as coding quality
Sure, but it seems uncannily common that AU sites are slow for me. Even Ozcoin was 300-400+ ms latency and really slow loading when it was in AU, but now it's a bit better. I think it's in Texas now, unless that has changed since I last looked.
As far as I know, there is only one submarine cable that goes direct from LA to Sydney, all the rest route through Japan and NZ and some random islands down there.

1332  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [Pre-Announce] OpenPay, use your bitcoins at any merchant that takes Visa! on: June 22, 2012, 04:48:40 PM
And I'm guessing it would be like cash. If you spend cash on something at a store and you don't like it. There's no magical button to get it back, you have to tell the store and hope they help you solve it. if not, then maybe you try to sue them. But I guess in the end, It would be just like cash. That reminds me, someone was making Bitcoin physical coins or something, that you could trade offline. I guess it had the key info inside as a QR code, but you could tell if someone attempted to open it or not. Forget who.
Quite so. But I am working on the assumption that Bitcoin transactions would be converted to fiat instantly to prevent exchange fluctuation risk, and sometimes refunds don't even happen the same day. This also assumes that the customer gets their refund back as bitcoins, and not fiat.

Not sure if anyone has already suggest this or not:

Tom Leykis at www.blowmeuptom.com

He used to be on national syndicated radio and now has a live streaming daily (weekly) show from 3:00 - 7:00 pm PDT from Burbank, California.

Anyways, someone just phoned in and suggested he take donations for his staff using PAYPAL.

I have just written and suggested he use Bitcoin.

My copy to the station:

Tom and staff,

Why are you not taking donations using Bitcoin?

Get with the program and use Bitcoin as an accepted method for making donations.

www.bitcoin.org

www.weusecoins.com

AWESOME PROGRAM, way better than RADIO. Keep it up.

Woah. That isn't "suggesting", that's being pretty rude, and sounding entitled. May I humbly suggest that you read this link carefully: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Public_relations

Ah I thought it did! My bad. You still use EasyMiner to upgrade the firmware, right?
Yes. Even when it does work, it will work only on Eclipse.
1339  Other / Off-topic / Re: BFL Single Received - how do you mine with it ? on: June 22, 2012, 02:57:52 PM
My main problem is when I start CGminer, first thing it asks me to input server URL, it doesn't give me a chance to type other commands.
Read up on how to use either the command line or the config file.

The ufasoft link works fine, http://ufasoft.com/open/bitcoin/
Read the cgminer manual, it really isn't as complicated as it looks.

Here is the BFL recommendation. I'd try their EasyMiner?

Easyminer doesn't mine, yet.
