This is the free market in action. Let the man sell his girlfriend's streaked up underwear, Elvis had a pair of dirties that sold for a pretty penny recently.

1525  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ASIC where are they? on: December 13, 2012, 06:54:43 PM
Ok, it's a scheme and a scam...
it's a scheme if they used the pre-order's money to profit from it while investing in the required machinery to produce something they are yet to have working. It's a scam because they have failed to deliver in the times they specified making the product less valuable every day (difficulty increasing, halving, etc)
Yes, by the time they release a single jalapeņo, the $150 jalapeņo's ROI will be 6 months or more like I read somewhere here...
that is IF they ever deliver one...
lots of dreamers our there...
And I'm amazed of the imagination that some people have. Thinking some big rich guy is behind all this to secure the network releasing ASICS or crazy theories like that...
This is not the humane society, this is a business, like the stock market, I know there are anarchists out there, but I doubt there's one with the amount of money required to support such theory.

I'm a dreamer and I do not believe ASICs are a scam.  But the releasing of them to secure the network doesn't make a great lot of sense.  It's been brought up, why would they sell these processors so cheap given the current MH/$ of FPGAs.  Given what we pay for an FPGA if it was a direct conversion we'd be paying $3,500 per Jalapeņo.  It's hard to say how or why.
Because they will be cheaper and easier to make. No one is going to pay 3500 for a jalepeno when there are 100,000 jalepeno chips on the market.

Not sure if it works on 2008 model... I bought it for a beat up 2009 model I planned on buying from a forum member but I didn't go through with the MacBook purchase.

Heads up, you would be lucky to get .25 for them here. I tried to sell mine about 4 months ago for $5, no bites.
1529  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: 5,210 stream processors - Dual-GPU AMD Radeon HD 8990 on: December 11, 2012, 02:04:47 AM
I remember when the 7990 was launching in March of 2012. Still hasn't launched...

Reference is pretty much canceled. TDP is supposedly too high for AMD to comfortably work with. Let the OEM's worry about it they say. A couple "7990"s have already come out from powercolor and asus.

Yeh, I remember when those were called 7970 X2s and were supposed to launch after the reference 7990. I wonder if the 8990 will end up being 8970 X2s launched next September?

1534  Other / Off-topic / Re: BFL to not match competitors products not shipped on: December 07, 2012, 06:34:49 PM
All I care about is who is shipping first. If BFL does end up shipping weeks or months ahead of competitors, the 12gh/s loss is inconsequential. I also predict that within a few moths, the market will be flooded with ASICs, bringing ROI well above a year. At that point, ASIC manufacturers are going to need to adjust prices to create demand. The real battle is going to be the coming price war and unfortunately I think the early adopters (me included) are going to be the losers.

Can offer 1.5 BTC if that works?

Is this still available? Where did you get it from?

I can do 1.6.
1537  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Transfer My Bitcoin from slow computer to faster computer on: December 05, 2012, 03:57:30 AM
Once the folder is copied you will need to run bitcoind with the command line switch -loadblock to load the backed up dat files. Otherwise you will be waiting a while for the blockchain to re download.
BTW, this is wholly incorrect, please ignore this poster's instruction. "-loadblock" with no trailing parameters is incorrect usage and will do nothing. Whatever the poster's intent might have been is also incorrect and unnecessary - the loadblock command is for performing a full blockchain reimport and signature validation using a specified external blockchain file, likely to take a similar amount of time to complete as a fresh re-sync off the network. In addition, attempting to run this, specifying the blockchain files already in the datadir, will do something between nothing and completely corrupting the existing blockchain.

If the entire Bitcoin data directory contents (%appdata%\Bitcoin folder on Windows aka C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin, or the hidden directory ~/.bitcoin aka /home/username/.bitcoin on Linux) are copied to the corresponding folder location on a different computer, then Bitcoin (after the client application is also installed) will start exactly like it did on the old computer, with no interruption in service or difference in operation. One must discontinue use of Bitcoin on the old computer though, renaming or removing the old wallet.dat or completely removing the Bitcoin data directory, as running the same wallet in two locations is not wise (they will quickly become not-the-same-wallet).

One should take a few precautions to prepare the datadir before copying for the highest probability of success:

1. Install the latest version of Bitcoin on the old computer
2. Run Bitcoin on the old computer one last time, starting it with the command-line option bitcoin-qt.exe -detachdb
3. In Setting->Options->Window tab, de-select the options "minimize to tray" and "minimize on close".
4. Close Bitcoin, and wait the several minutes it may take to completely close and detach database files (which is not normally performed without the previous command line option).
5. After verifying in Windows task manager that Bitcoin is no longer running, even in a hidden state, you may then make a complete copy of the data directory, including subdirectories.

I didn't say use loadblock without specifying a corresponding dat file, although I could have clarified that. I was pointing the OP in the same direction I've used to restore my wallet and blockchain on a new machine. With that said, I was unaware that detaching the db from your original setup allows you to restore the existing blockchain without using loadblock. If that's the case, it's a much easier way to go.

I can vouch for coinhoarder, he's a trusted trader. Also 4 of the 5970s may be cards I sold to him. In my possession they each got at least 30 minutes of Battlefield 3 playtime.

Free electicity aside, unless you are using the rig for quad crossfire gaming, I would sell the 5870s before ASICs and 8970s come out. Both are going to drive down the price of your 5870s at a faster rate than you can recoup with mining.
Plus, why you gonna do your parents like that? You know you are just cutting into your inheritance.
