If you are able to prove that you can ship anything on time I may start to be interested.

I think your personal best so far is 3 months late, though you're back to 4 now. I'm rooting for a 3 months late March again. You can do it!

However, $6000 for 2TH is overpriced even for May... considering you can buy 2TB of Antminers today (which you will get 3 days from now!) for $8650 and mine $4000 with them before the HashFast imaginary "May" shipdate - never mind the actual shipdate based on track record.

Oh, right, the EVO draws 1650W less power than the Antminers. That's $180 more per month - mmm, still not worth waiting 1 to 5 months longer, and having to deal with HashFast "customer" service.

There's mining companies that treat their customers like customers. Bitmain & ASICMINER come to mind.
There's mining companies that treat their customers like investors (investomers?). BFL, Avalon, KNC etc.
There's mining companies that treat their customers like enemies. Actually, there's only one. HashFast has no competition in this field.

That's your other key.

Ok, thanks - missed the perl path. But still needs python (and nasm) as well. Unfortunately the build scripts don't check for it in the beginning, so you could be compiling for an hour, only to have it fail after.


Visual Studio doesn't have a 'nasm'. It has masm (launched via ml.exe or ml64.exe). I don't mind using ml.exe but your openssl build script specifically looks for nasm. (In this case ml.exe was in my path if it wanted to use that instead.)

What is missing from these instructions is that it requires perl, python and nasm to be installed, and paths to be set up to it.

Ahh, now I understand why you posted this!

With all due respect, you're an idiot for selling something via Paypal in person (or to any non-verified address). If you exchanged cash or gold for PayPal in person you would have been in the exact same situation. That doesn't mean cash or gold is bad.

Learn how to think for yourself. Be gladded the price of the lesson was only 2 BTC - it could have been worse.

That's because your house has weak locks. Put an infinitely strong lock on the house, and try the analogy again.

You can build an ASIC to do anything you want it to do, but I take it your question is whether you can use one of the current Bitcoin mining ASIC's (e.g. a Blade Erupter) to hash passwords.

No. The output of a mining ASIC is not a Hash, it's a nonce.

Does it matter?

The porn industry initially caused VHS to win over Betamax, accelerated DVD deployment and was the driving force behind the initial growth of the internet.

Does that mean porn is still the major driving force behind all the information technology in the world? Of course not. It was just first.


Bitcoin solved a transaction & trust problem that is highly important to drug deals, but is useful to anybody else as well.

VISA and banks have tried to make payment systems for legitimate transactions that are barely tolerable, with various fraud protections and chargeback mechanisms etc, but the fact remains is that a payment system that is based on having to trust the payee is inferior and outdated.

So you couldn't trust a drug dealer with a credit card number. Well... turns out you can't trust Target with it either. Bitcoin solves it for both.

Yes, I've solo mined > 50'000 TAK to date, so reasonably sure my hardware knows what it's doing .

Also, since it's an ASIC, it can't really do anything other than SHA256.

Oh, let me rephrase - Chrome on Windows. And scroll within the first few seconds of it opening up, otherwise it stops working.

Other than that, works great .

You know of many GPU's that can get 420 gh/s doing SHA256?

It's an ASIC, not a GPU.

It also depends on the type of cards though. Even though you can theoretically have 5 cards, if you try and put e.g. 5 x 7990's on there, apart from the power supply to the card issue (which is solvable with more power supplies), the cards themselves will starve the PCI bus of power, causing the machine not to boot.

It's generally simpler getting more cheaper motherboards - also if you have a crash, you don't have 5 GPU's going down.

I am solo mining some SHA256 coins that sometimes changes blocks rapidly (<10 seconds). I have a pretty high reject rate (20%) which always seems to do with finding a block within a few seconds after a switch.

Even with the 20% reject rate, I'm still doing better on average than I would do in a pool though.  Is 20% rejects just expected in this case? Is that what the pools are also facing? And most importantly - is there anything I can do to make it better?

* Mining gear runs at ~420gh/s
* Connecting over 100mps to do GetWork against a -q wallet.
* Internet connection is 60mbps up, 10mbps down.
* Queue size is 30. If I make it lower than 30, I see a lot of "Pool x not providing work fast enough". If I make it higher I can see it submits blocks 5 or 10 seconds after change. Not good.

Why was that unbelievable? It seems overpriced now that it's listed, but it wasn't listed at the time I posted it.

If someone actually bought it from me at that rate they would have been able to sell it for more than that at the opening on CryptoRush.

Of course by now, logic and math has set in, and the coin is more correctly valued at 0.000001. It was incredibly offensive that Mikitsu tried to sell it at 0.0017 - I hope nobody bought it at that (or maybe if someone did, it serves as their punishment for not paying attention in math class.)

In their defense, they don't acknowledge that the upgrade board was ever for sale or even existed:
