The miners mine and hold, other mine and sell.
Investors and speculators buy, hold and sell.
You can buy random items in auctions and through the forums.
What are the reasons for the bulk of the bitcoin transfers? I read an article underlying the "dark side" of the internet and TOR network, and they seem to point out that bitcoins are now nearly the exclusive currency for the online "black market" (Note, they are not saying bitcoins are exclusively used for black market transactions)
What have you used bitcoins for?

Running BAMT, how can I see what memory clock my cards are at? Reading this thread I thinking they're probably not running at the rate I tell them to...

I'm sure the building owner and local Fire Marshall are quite happy that you punched a hole through a 4 hour fire rated wall to exhaust hot air to save on cooling costs.  Actually a 16 hour fire wall, you're so wrong. The fire Marshall helped me to it too. I also had to take on a few I beams that were in the way. Not sure what to do about the large crack that started forming in the concrete. |

You've got to have serious HVAC...
The winder was a breeze, I punched through the wall to an abandoned 6 floo elevator shaft. I pump the heat into the shaft, then bring in cold air from the shaft (Shaft is not insulated). Beautiful temps all winter. Now that it's summer, I simply only vent into the shaft, that air is replaced with cool air from the HVAC. The HVAC is set up to create positive pressure in the server room, thus the exhaust of the hot air balances nicely. |

AH, yours is a sealed system? MY system has the overflow tank, thus there is a positive and negative pressure. Thus if air enters from the suction, it's released in the overflow tank.

P.s. Snag some pix of the innards.

I have a high pressure pump on my LC rig, and I found that when a tiny leak appeared, I lost the card. I shifted the pump to after the cards, thus creating a negative pressure where the cards were. Now if a leak were to occur, I'd simply be suckin in air, rather than forcing out coolant.
That may be a good idea. Cetrifugal pumps tend to have poor suction so if a small leak did develop the flow would drop way down once enough air is sucked into the system and that would trip the flow sensor shutting everything down. I might need to think about moving the pump. A shutdown sure beats a fried card. Need and water blocks for 5870's? |

Even though newegg business and the normal newegg are not exactly the same (and sometimes even has different prices), you can still make an account on newegg business and shop like normal.
Btw, with the 7970 being nearly the same performance as the 5870, is it even worth it, even at this sale price? Unless people are planning to buy it to flip and profit.
Can I get your setting? I'd love my 5870's to get 650MH/s |

The best way to ensure bitcoin remains strong in the government, is simply to give the politicians bitcoins.
Start an organization that accepts political donations in cash, converts them to BTC and make the political donation. You can guarantee they'll use them.

Used P4 system (e.g. HP DC7600) $25
4GB memory stick $8
Bamt, $33 per Pcie slot (max 1 GPU).
Or get a $50 PSU and use dual GPU boards, or the x1 PCIe slot they also have

So for the 5970's do I need ram cooling, especially if the ram is underclocked?
Looking at different options for liquid cooling.

Let's hear your vote. I sent in my Asus 5970 for RMA, got an EAH6970 in return.
Does that sound like a fair replacement, or should I press Asus for an alternate option?

I switched all 55 rigs to BAMT leaving Windows 7. Best mining decision of my life.

If it's going to be a dedicated rig, grab an old P4 system and mine away. HP DC7100 or DC7600 work beautifully with BAMT as well.

Hello, I am interested in buying the configuration specified here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_rig with the 1 ATI 5830. I don't know a lot about hardware design or computer assembling. I'm afraid that if I order the parts I'll have no idea to how to assemble them to get the mining rig running. Is there a tutorial or an article I could read on how to assemble computers or specifically the mining rig listed? Thanks! lol, in all seriousness, if you want a dedicated rig, buy a used P4 with a decent PSU and you'll be fine. I run HP DC7600's (Dc7100's also work great) They have a PSU that'll power an OC'd 5870, so for a single 5830 you'd be golden. |

You'll want to make sure to grab an i7 with at least 32GB of ram
