It's not just chase deposits that are messed up, I did a dwolla withdrawal about 15 hours ago and money still hasn't shown up in my dwolla account. I know something is wrong because usually it takes about 1 hour and never more than 2 or 3. This is not cool guys, This money is part of a transaction where I sold some items on these forums and now I need this money to be able to ship them out, MTGox is holding up the whole process - not cool man.

I am selling 6 x Radeon HD 5830 3 of them are XFX - the other 3 are Saphire I purchased all of them brand new. I also have 1 x 6950 and 1 x 5870 for sale (willing to entertain offers if the price is right) the 5830's are $75 each shipped. I will accept BTC, and Dwolla Payments. You can PM me, Email me, or Call me 315-514-0269 thanks for looking.

A majority of the hashrate still comes from big miners with custom rigs, this might change in the future if the current outlook holds. Overall I think we are at the near end of the gpu mining cycle. The mining factor has been decreasing steadily with no end in sight and while some people might hold on for ideological reasons investing in new gpus would be a dumb thing to do right now.
I even think we might skip the 7XXX series cards altogether and go straight to fpgas, some people might fall for it but I doubt they will exit profitable.
although I thank your response, and I must note I was not at all blaming hashrate decrease on the playing of BF3, I was really just trying to be funny and remark on how amazing of a game it is - really not a serious post at all - sorry. But I do want to comment on your post, I am not sure what you mean by custom rig? every rig is a custom rig if you think about it, and I agree with you the days where people are going to invest in new gpu's for mining is gone unless of course we see a BTC value increase like we did when it went up to $30, thats what started the first one. Also FPGA mining is a neat idea and is a much more energy efficient choice but again anyone that makes a major FPGA commitment is going to have to invest major cash into something that is not going to pay off well (unless the value goes up as my statement above)

Just something silly I am curious about, BF3 is coming out tomorrow (I have been playing the cracked version today and it is UNREAL) do you think we will see drop in network speed due to collectively every other mining stopping mining with one of their GPU's and using it to play BF3? I currently took a 6870 out of mining to play this game and it is well worth the loss of 300 mhash! any thoughts?

just want to say, I just played BF3 for the first time and it is AMAZING! I have never seen graphics like this in a FPS, its unreal. The crack came out today and I am checking out the game single player a day early but I must say I am going to buy it for the multiplayer - its worth it seriously if there is one game that is worth paying for this is it. ...back to playing now...

Looks like the pool is back up as of an hour ago.
Thanks whoever fixed it.
I remembered he posted his google talk ID a while back and contacted him there today, and told him what happened - thanks again Luke-Jr

twmz: how do you like mining at eclipse?

How about 1100 USD? since those 5830s are dropping in value on this hea forum and that 890fx mobo is now defunct. I'll even drive to your place. I live in wisconsin too.
what exactly do you mean is defunct? that statement does not make any sense to me.

I just want to give a little update as to what's been going on here at CoinConnect. We had someone who tried to hack our database and because of that the hosting provider shut us down. We are back online now and things are more secure than ever.. luckily our main database was never compromised and I thank the hosting for acting quickly enough to stop it. We have a lot of great things in the works so stay tuned and enjoy CoinConnect the Bitcoin social network. www.CoinConnect.org

Just want to say I support both Slush and Eleuthria, you guys both run two of my favorite pools and have both made huge contributions to Bitcoin. I dont believe either one of you has done anything wrong, your both trying desperately to keep your pools running just like anyone else would do.
Websites of mine have also been attacked and because of those attacks I am currently looking for new hosting, and although I am not sure why the attacks happened - I think that being a part of Bitcoin makes us all targets in some ways.
One thing that is a cold hard fact about these DDoS attacks is they are based from greed, and as long as it is profitable for someone to attack - attacks will continue.
