Mine at a SMPPS pool and then you will love the longer rounds

well I don't agree with that. This may appeal to some people but I can't ever imagine wanting the pool to sell any coins for me. I don't see anyone who mines at eligius would want a feature like that. As miners we want more control over things not less.

My post before was mostly just a joke, Luke-JR does a great job with eligius, IMO its the best pool available right now and for many good reasons.

Merged mining may lower the value of NMC but if it is a viable and useful thing it will certainly not die.

cool and if your ever bored and want to mirror more stuff from the official wiki feel free to start some more pages on that wiki - back months ago when the wiki was down for a couple of days I put that up to serve as a mirror for times like that

stop selling your nmc so cheap guys! Luke-Jr you single handily are driving down the price of nmc ,,, lol - I refuse to sell mine less that 0.02 - i will wait and I suggest you guys do the same, dont worry the price will go back up

bump - 2 days left to vote!

TOR is not foolproof by any means and if you think the D.E.A. is not all over SilkRoad by now than your just being Naive. Don't forget fellow U.S. citizens about G.W. Bush's Patriot act. We have no rights at all in regards to privacy over the internet, and in this post 911 era being a drug dealer selling drugs online you mine as well be a terrorist because they can blur the lines so easy and turn one into the other.

The funny part is - its most likely safer to be a seller in EU then to be a buyer in the US.

Awesome Luke-Jr, welcome back. Expecting a pretty hefty NMC payment, btw: its ok to have the same NMC address tied to multiple BTC addresses that are mining on Eligius correct?

give me a country and what you would want to order and I will give you an estimate

thats a good question and something I did not think of, I will have to charge actual shipping costs for anything leaving the continental USA.

I gotinto bitcoin a bit late in the game, Sometime in June 2011. I'm a 45 year old retired software/network engineer, and bitcoins are my hobby of the moment. The stack contains three rigs with 5 5970's each, It does about 6800 MH/s. The blower is a 450 CFM exhaust bower I bouht from a hydroponics ship, and it vents all the hot exhaust air outside my appartment. Curently the rig is running off 240v.

8 ) Custom-Built Lexan / Aluminum Mining Case by Loglow

This is my mining rig, entirely built from scratch! My goals for this project were to build a machine that was reasonably self-contained, quiet, cool, attractive, solid, functional, and small. This build went through a few iterations and revisions, but it's now in a finished state. Prior to construction, the design was modeled in SketchUp. No mounting brackets or motherboard trays were used; everything was made from raw materials.
Specs:
    AMD Athlon II X3 3.2GHz
    Corsair XMS3 4GB DDR3 SDRAM
    Intel 320 Series 40GB SSD
    Asus M4A79XTD EVO Motherboard
    4x Sapphire Radeon HD 5830

It has 1 x 5970, 1 x 5850, and 8 x 5870's for a total of about 4.5 G/hash
The Large Fan blows cool air from the outside, the two exhaust fans suck hot air from the rigs and blow it out which also serves to heat my office during the cold fall / winter. Optimus Prime serves as a security guard and also gives me advice when needed by pushing the blue button on his chest - which I will do now for advice for the competition - Optimus Prime : "Don't Make Me Use This!"

Thank you for this cablepair. I find documentation is a bit lacking or hard to find otherwise. Anybody know when Luke is back to pay out people ?

your welcome!
I know right... I should be getting like 1000 namecoins or something

you dont need to register at all you just put your wallet address in as your username
for example if you are doing a command line mining program it would look something like this

Lets pretend your wallet address is 1JVi8s2x8XM3B7giutjjjSogBd1UShz9eS
at the command line put
c:\miner.exe -o http://mining.eligius.st:8332 -u 1JVi8s2x8XM3B7giutjjjSogBd1UShz9eS -p pass

the wallet address you want your reward sent to - thats your username - password is unimportant you can put anything you want there it does not matter

Make sure you replace 1JVi8s2x8XM3B7giutjjjSogBd1UShz9eS with your actual wallet address

Now go download Namecoind for windows

follow this very good tutorial on how to install namecoind make sure you follow the windows instructions

http://dot-bit.org/InstallAndConfigureNamecoin

After you have that up and working and you have your Namecoind wallet address save that

Now go to http://eligius.st/~artefact2/5/1JVi8s2x8XM3B7giutjjjSogBd1UShz9eS

but replace 1JVi8s2x8XM3B7giutjjjSogBd1UShz9eS with your actual Bitcoin wallet address
this is your stats page for mining at eligius

you will see at the top

Good Luck!

I'm not sure what's going on but I just want to say that after I submitted a support request ticket they did put through the Dwolla transfer and the money showed up in my account , I sincerely hope MtGox is not having issues this is a crucial time for Bitcoin and we need fundamental services like MtGox alive and well

About 15 or so hours ago I initiated a Withdrawal from MTGox to Dwolla, now it hasnt taken more than an hour or two to get a withdraw since back when they were hacked. In fact MtGox website told me "should see money within a few hours" or whatever it says when you do a Dwolla withdraw.


I am getting a little concerned, is anyone else having a problems?

damn I wish I poo poo'd Bitcoins, talk about a solution to the debt crisis!
