Per topic, why are people still using mtgox when there is no way to withdraw your money?

I think the real reason big money people (those that have say, $100,000 or more to play with Bitcoin) aren't exploiting this ( because 10% in your timeframe is an EXCELLENT return) is the risk, risk, risk - of having that money move through so many unregulated and untrustworthy locations ( BTC-E for example, I love em' don't get me wrong, but lets face it for American's it's very abstract, and partly written in Russian ) and than MtGox unknowns, cash transfer freezes, banking concerns, etc. It's all a risk/reward premium, and 10% is worth it to a lot of people so it must be 10% risky...Cheers for doing this though, excellent to see it in action. Once GOX bites the dust, I honestly believe the arbitrage will be left to sub-pennies very quickly as new exchanges come online that are more like "real-world" exchanges. PS. If I wasn't paranoid about hvaing MtGox freeze the account, or my US Bank Accounts frozen, or closed, I'd call up a personal friend and say: "Hey you want 10% every two weeks? Give me a $1,000,000 cash. I'll prove it to you and I'll throw in $100k myself!" but like I said, your bank account gets frozen there goes $1 million of my friends money, and $100k of my own...and if that's easy to get 10% than you gotta think about the realization that the operation is REALLY RISKY Agree, especially now that Gox haven't processed USD withdrawals for 2 months.

Did you wire to OK Pay from your bank account or MtGox?
Because if it's from your bank account then the loop isn't closed. My bank charge $15 to receive a wire. Or maybe it's possible to do MtGox --> OK Pay --> BTC-E directly?
Great experiment. Thanks for sharing.
Ahh true. I wasn't really thinking about closing the loop. The initial payment was a $1000.00 bank wire to okpay from my US Citibank account at a cost of $30.00. You know I didn't think of this but now I have to get cash back to btc-e or out back out to my bank account for additional fees! UGH. But I'll probably just but more bitcoin. Assuming OKPAY did not charge you crazy fee. I once did a wire of $2000, on top of what my bank charges, OKPAY charges me around $200. Opened multiple support tickets, and they could not explain why the crazy high fees.

i am also not able to withdraw. mtgox -> one time tested -> never again i tried to do a little abitrage.. its not even worth if there is 50 USD difference between prices to other exchanges. My guess is that with the consistent >10$ difference everyone's trying some arbitrage at the moment, hence the exhaustion of the hot wallet! :O How is that? With Gox price higher, people would want BTC to be IN gox, so they can sell high. But what I don't get is, how are these people getting the USD out?! Since there is almost no way to withdraw USD from Gox.

My miner is working, but the pool website says I have not submitted shares in the past 2hrs. Is this normal? 2/4 of my workers says no shares in the past 2hrs.

Do not sell SATA to molex. B/c people are going to start connecting those Molex to PCI-E 6 pin. This is a perfect recipe for fire.

finally 2 of mine got labelled "Completed" today. the countdown begins!
congrats!!! your order number and date? anyone got info about order #3xxx? Why do people keep asking about the order date? I thought batch 2 orders are ALL on the same date.
|
|
|
Of those that got the package, how big and heavy is it? Can someone post the dimentions?
|
|
|
Could people please include their order # and order date when reporting a delivered Avalon... It would be a great help to others.
the order date is all the same. These are batch 2.

I am building my first mining rig for bitcoins/litecions. I am using MSI 990XA-GD55 mothercard and I want to connect 6 radeons msi twin frozr 7950. I was advised by somebody that there is no need for powered risers, because the mobo has 2x8pin + ATX24 connections for power supply. Do you think it would burn mobo? please give a good explanation for your anwser cheers The 2x8pin is for the CPU, not for the PCI-E. So your mobo is the same as any other, pulling all the PCI-E juice from ATX24.

that GPU have one center fan. There are many reviews out there saying that design is the worst ever. Good luck trying to cool it.

Did You submit your support ticket to them?
I don't think you need to open a support ticket if your order shows up on the website.

GPU will be relevant for several years to come.

If someone interested - 8x gpu hashing 4600 Kh/s in scrypt mining. Working with only 1 psu Lepa 1600w (drawing 1700w at wall). cgminer 3.2. drivers 13.1. core 835 @ mem 1375. 4 cores voltage lowered to 0.925 and 4 cores voltage defaul (not accesible at bios). Mobo gigabyte ga 990FXA, cpu sempron , 8 gb ramm. win 7 64 -bit.
What GPU?

Asrock H61DEL has got 1 PCIE x16 + 5 PCIE x1. Installed Ubuntu 12.04, plugged in 6 x 6970 and 2x1000W PSU with 3 x 8(6+2) PCIE plugs in each PSU. Day after mining LTC, Mobo died, and now refuses to start, not working, no matter what.
So here is the question: Which Mobo can truly handle 24h 6 GPU load?
That's why you need to use powered risers! PM me if you need any.

The problem is: does the Windows operating system recognising 10, 16 or more GPU?
virtualization.
|
|
|
Well, that method did not damage the GPU, it just got modified. Either way, you would need to modify the GPU or the motherboard. Or just use riser.

Is it possible to run 8 GPUs (not cards but GPUs) on the same motherboard using Windows 7 Home 32bit Many of you missed the key point. Windows 7 home 32 bit. 32 bit windows is limited to 4GB addressable memory. 8 x 1GB GPU's want 8 GB addressable ram. Folding enthusiasts discovered long ago that 4 or more cards generally require a 64 bit os. ymmv of course. exactly

I am actually looking for a cheap 5k BtU unit for cheap, so if anyone has suggestions what make/model and where to buy I would be happy.
The GE unit I mentioned gets 4-5 star reviews on walmart. It is good in my opinion.
