Hey guise, my UPS takes 2 hours to charge, but can run for up to 5 hours with no load attached. Clearly 5 > 2. Free energy!!!

Dude, don't blow up my secret to free power. Now everyone is gonna be mining bitcoin.

OP, just don't be like the superdouchebags CoinHunter, OldMiner and BitCoinEXpress and gloat about how you are ignoring someone and then quote them every other post and respond to every bit of their goading.

Tried to mine bitcoins about a year ago...the client was buggy on my machine so I figured screw it.

BTC was less than a dollar at the time...
Got you beat, I discovered BTC early 2010 and didn't mine any with cpu because I felt pooled mining was too much of a hassle  Embarrassed



Phinnaeus! How was fishing?

I am not going to scan through 15 pages of retardation to see if this has been addressed, but, in english, to geld is to castrate.

Have fun running around with your balls chopped off, forktards.

I can't bring myself to ignore anyone on any forum. You just miss out on all the hilarity.

I don't know about that company. They claim every acre they own is 'Prime View'. Me? Imma get a piece of Io, holmes.

Randyfolds- you are not an asshole.  LOL.  It makes sense that you want to verify a source before you order.  There are no "chargebacks" with bitcoin!  I hope that when you receive the product you will post your experiences with me on this thread as some others have been so good to do.  It means a lot to me.


You've got some mail and some BTC. I'll definitely post up my experience here. It has been very helpful thus far.

The board has been full of scammers and lunatics long before SA started trolling it. What do you think attracted them in the first place?

they're ~2x more power efficient.


says who?

Educated guess. 

Hashing power is simply (clock speed)*(Stream Processors)/Code Efficiency

Code efficiency being how many ALU Ops are required for each hash (currently ~3450).

6850   (775MHz)*(960 SP) /3450 = 220 MHash/s  @ 120W = 6600 GH/kWh
7850   (850MHz)*(   1408 SP) /3450 = 350Mash/s @ 90W = 14000 GH/kWh

Not quite double but pretty close.  Also we can look historically.  Every die shrink AMD has completed  (55nm to 40nm for example) in the past has roughly increase performance per Watt by 60%-80%.

Current gen cards get about 6000 to 8000 GH/kWh.
The 7000 series will be in the 12000 to 14000 range.


I didn't know the released the specs on it, but it sounds like you know your shit.

It is not able to be this high naturally? Did it get here unnaturally?

It's the old myth that nature is whatever man doesn't do. It's as old as Aristotle. Spiders weave webs. Terminates build mounds. Humans use tools. It's all natural.

If only ctoon6 would figure this one out...

He is claiming that our current population is unsustainable. It seems to be working pretty decent thus far, as the population is still growing while life expectancy is up and infant mortality is down, worldwide. A population with a long lifespan can only rise above carrying capacity for a generation. I don't believe we are there. We are still turning crops for subsidies...sure some people are starving here and there, but again, logistical/social problem vs. capacity problem.

i believe this image is useful, because it shows that the human population simply is not able to be this high, naturally anyway. i think oil and other carbon based energy caused the spike, and i think the downfall of the population will be the result of oil/other running out.

Are you retarded...again?

It is not able to be this high naturally? Did it get here unnaturally? Cause it is where it is, and humans weren't synthesized. Once again, read up on ecology.

Modern medicine is what allowed it to get this high, not petroleum products.

Also, side note, there is a SHITLOAD of arable land that is not being actively farmed. We aren't anywhere near a global food shortage, there are merely logistical and bureaucratic hindrances.

There is not a shitload of arable land out there. The logistics are real (transportation, irrigation, soil sustainability, ecosystem damage, etc.). The bureaucratic hindrances are not enough. More effort should be put forth in further hindering any development or change to existing wild lands.

On the other hand, if you're talking about conversion of parking lots to agricultural use, by all means...

We were arguing the same point a couple posts ago...I am not sure what happened. I was just saying that food is not going to be the breaking factor, at least not in the near future.

The government is paying people to turn their crops...so no one actually knows what the capacity of already developed farmland is in the US, for example. Beyond that, there is plenty of arable land that is not farmed, even where there is no shortage of water. Ever been to the midwest? There is no shortage of water and there is plenty of access to transcontinental train shipping.

Going even further, is your garden planted? A well planted acre can damn near feed a family.

A forum that costs $10 to join would never work. 
Metafilter charges $5 to join, has been going strong for years, and has a thriving community with low-noise discussions.

Goddamn, you're retarded.

Corn is your solution? Do you have any idea what monoculture does to the environment? Learn something about agriculture and ecology and then come back and have a real conversation. Look into some material science as well...bioplastics are not a replacement for petro-plastics. There is not enough water and space on this whole goddamn planet to grow enough corn to synthesize a month's worth of plastic. How do you plan on powering that extremely energy intensive process?

Wood - not a substitute for rigid or rubberized plastic. How many wooden plumbing systems have you seen?
Glass - also not a substitute for plastic. Again...material science, son. You can make windows and bongs and kitchenware with glass...that's about it.

You seem to have very little understanding of the industrialized world. Perhaps you are in an internet cafe in Ethiopia, but I doubt it. Being a 14-year-old who has it all figured out is a much more likely culprit.

a notice before you start saying any bs about this post i am about to make, I DO NOT CONDONE KILLING PEOPLE TO LOWER THE POPULATION

throughout history, we have been able to keep a very healthy number of people, below 1 billion in the entire world, with the advent of steam(coal, wood other nonrenewable) and oil, the population has grown over 6 fold.

now tell me, how do we possibly maintain a population that has grown to such a size, when we know for a fact that we are unable to maintain this growth. obviously the alternatives will require LARGE amounts of land to use, versus oil where you suck it up and use it. and ill say it again, not everything has a viable alternative, so ill say it again, you will just have to live with more expensive synthetics. this is something you can not and will not be able to avoid as the world worships oil, whether you like it or not. 10 calories of carbon based energy in the production of every 1 calorie you eat. mostly due to moving it around. id also be willing to bet that figure is inflated, but it still goes to show, it probably does have some truth.

So, you failed to address that your 'alternatives' are a delusion, and also failed to address the fact that there is no way to produce those 'more expensive synthetics' while also producing food to sustain us.


yes i did, it all has to do with population, less population, less goods needed, less land needed.

So, your solution is to not have experienced the last 200 years. That seems...unrealistic?

if that's not enough, go back to your paranoia cave.

Awesome. That is all I was asking for, some kind of validation. I am sure you are aware of the ongoing plagues of ridiculous scams with shill account after shill account.

e: I just connected that you and I have been speaking via PM...man, that makes me seem like an asshole! Sorry.

You're probably going to find a lack of feedback because of the type of goods this guy sells. It's not illegal, but it's not exactly legal either.

In any case, I've ordered from him and received the goods - twice.

Yeah, but who are you? Again...this is bitcoin we are talking about.
