I think you should do this.

Tell him to buy about $100k at first so as to not raise the price too much.

Start the rally engine !

I don't agree.

I want Satoshi to be exposed.

I want to know who is holding onto 1.5 million BTC.

I also think others that are not invested into BTC want to know this before investing into it more heavily.

The anonymity reason is bollocks for me. You can be anonymous behind a screen name.

No need to disappear randomly and never come back though ...

Why they would be stupid enough to leave the PCs on during night hours is beyond me ...

Maybe they are manufacturing then as well as during the day

Yeah. This is pretty strange. I have heard numerous people that are saying that P2Pool <<< normal pool in terms of payouts but I have not tried this myself so it could be FUD.

P2Pool really needs to be easier to use IMHO and provide MORE not less payouts in order to gain traction.

This actually made me laugh. No joke.

But still if you want the LEAST possible variance DeepBit is good because it is the biggest pool.

Especially if you only care about the $$$ and not about security of BTC and possibility of 51% attack ...

That is what I meant. It seems this guy has found a way to speed up the hashrate using DSPs so what is so hard to understand Turbor and gigavps ?

I was asking why couldn't BFL also do this "trick" and a valid question indeed. One bitstream or FPGA "trick" likely could be applied on a range of different FPGA hardware because the basic operating principles are the same for all FPGAs etc.

I'm no expert but I understand ( reasonably well ) how FPGA works and this DSP trick allows you to do 3 loops of SHA256 in the same chip ( cheap Spartan 6 ones ) that previously only allowed us to do 2 loops etc.

What makes you think this cannot similarly be applied to the single ( even after a hardware modification )

Out of the game ?

I don't think so. As long as the fans are spinning, the miners are mining

Let me know in some years how well your FPGA junk lasted because GPUs are proven to last for ages while FPGA will die in / after 6 months according to BFL's shitty warranty.

Yeah. I know how PSU works ( if you have 1200 W PSU it does not pull all the 1200 but only how much you need ) but the sign that a bigger PSU is needed means that the power consumption was AGAIN underestimated and will probably end up being close to 3000 W.

The good news : it can work in the US.

The bad news : it is now 3000 W or needs that big a PSU for stable operation & still no concrete details about dates or chips etc.

Loving the poll option.

Really nice options to choose from

I think it makes sense for the guy to be Irish because there is a lot of UK centric stuff about "Satoshi" ( like that Telegraph article ) and all the Japan stuff is probably a distraction more or less.

You don't say

I think he will deliver though.

I am anxious to see the magazine whenever it comes out anyway.

Indeed. I am tired of all this BFL and ZTEX and other FPGA junk in the GPU forum.

I won't be buying any FPGA any time soon so might as well move it out of the way for now.

Thanks !

Yes but I don't think they will accept you to buy it without the PSU they are selling you

Not selling you their PSU and not charging so much for shipping = less profit for them = unacceptable for BFL

Just some mirror links of the "best" version without all the mouse sensing things and prompts :

Thank you GenTarkin !

PS : All the hiding functionality and mouse sensing and process evading is useful for other people but for me ( running on family computers where there is no need to hide ) this version is ideal and I don't need any hiding thingies.

Thank you very much for this great software and I love that you are constantly making updates !!!

Same is true with GPUs. Never seen a botnet of 5870s. Whoever is geeky enough to buy a 5870 knows how to be secure usually.

Quit the marketing and BS talking. You are not using custom ASIC as that requires millions to produce and nobody would take that risk.

Probably using sASIC in the best case ...

Also, this rig box and box that makes 50 ghash/s or 20 ghash/s will only centralize BTC to the few that can afford paying over your threshold amount of 10k+ which I doubt many "casual" miners are willing to pay. Stop trying to sound like you are making BTC more secure because this simply is not it.

ASIC will be devastating to BTC and make it 51% easily in the early true custom ASIC times until everybody gets same HW and drops GPUs.

ArtForz mined about 60k BTC in the days everybody was CPU mining with a single 4870 AFAIK. Someone with secret ASIC could do the same and 51% this easily taking all our coins.

Yeah. What is the cheapest mobo with that layout ?

Thanks !

Well I just hope all this FPGA messing about does not break the GPU functionality.

Only a fraction of miners are using FPGA ATM and the majority are using GPU.

No because TBH 2500W vs 100W is not really relevant to me and probably lots of others with cheap electric rates.

All that matters is MH/$ and the ability to deliver the product.

All this DRM is just total BS. I don't want any backdoors from the gov. in my miners.
