141  Economy / Trading Discussion / Why are people still using gox when there is no way to withdraw on: August 28, 2013, 09:13:00 AM
Per topic, why are people still using mtgox when there is no way to withdraw your money?
142  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Buy on BTC-E and Sell on MTGOX on: August 14, 2013, 08:38:48 AM
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  Wink ) 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  Huh
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.
144  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Withdrawing BTC from MTgox 'Invalid bitcoin address, please confirm your input' on: August 14, 2013, 08:30:32 AM
i am also not able to withdraw. mtgox -> one time tested -> never again
i tried to do a little abitrage.. Cheesy 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.
146  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: What items/accessories are preventing you from mining? on: June 28, 2013, 03:55:18 PM
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.
147  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Avalon batch [2] countdown! on: June 26, 2013, 10:14:00 PM
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.
148  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Avalon batch [2] countdown! on: June 25, 2013, 07:36:01 PM
Of those that got the package, how big and heavy is it?
Can someone post the dimentions?
149  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Avalon batch [2] countdown! on: June 22, 2013, 03:00:39 AM
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.
150  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: 6 x msi 7950 - can I use non powered risers? on: June 21, 2013, 04:01:22 PM
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 Smiley
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.
152  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [ATTN] Is there anyone still not receive your batch#2 machine or tracking #? on: June 21, 2013, 04:17:28 AM
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.
153  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: Are GPUs still relevant and for how long on: June 20, 2013, 07:18:06 PM
GPU will be relevant for several years to come.
154  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: 7/8 GPUs per Motherboard on: June 20, 2013, 07:17:12 PM
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?
155  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: Motherboard that can handle 6 Video Cards... not H61Del AsRock on: June 20, 2013, 07:04:08 PM
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.
157  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: How to put your unmodded PCI-E x16 card in your spare 1x slot without a riser. on: June 18, 2013, 02:29:11 PM
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.
158  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: 7/8 GPUs per Motherboard on: June 18, 2013, 02:26:37 PM
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.
