Since Avalon released their reference design does that mean it could be used to make 10 chip boards instead? Would that be easier / more reliable than the Klondike design?

Where are you located? I might be able to loan you a scope if you're local.

I think DannyHamilton is right. If a non-empty block is mined right now, then the time distance from now until the next non-empty block is (which will include your transaction), on average, 10 minutes. If an empty block is found in between, then it's still 10 minutes.
If a miner has just mined a block which includes your transaction, and is about to broadcast it, but then it receives an empty block, it doesn't say "Oh dang. Someone found a block. Now I have to wait another ten minutes until I'l allowed to mine another block. Better shut off the ASICs until then so I don't waste electricity" No. It just keeps on mining and will mine a block with your transaction much sooner than that (on average, because it's already been mining for a while).
The miners producing empty blocks increase the difficulty. So they do have an affect.

The mortgage company will ask to see your stubs or previous statements. You can't just invent 2 years of income.
I don't follow. It is entirely legal to create your new company, as a sole proprietor, and then hire yourself to work for it. He hired himself for two years and paid himself x amount per month. He is paying taxes on this income, therefore it is all legal. If this weren't allowed there would be no small business owners. Yes, but you'd have to start now and pay yourself for two years. He wants a more immediate solution.

It just happens sometimes, it can take hours, especially if your fee is low.

You can be sure that he'll ignore this post: The frequency is the only thing that matters. Frequencies above (or equal to) those of UV light cause cancer. It's that simple.
holy crap you get more EM radiation at a higher frequency with a 60 W lightbulb (assuming 5% lightbulb efficiency and 100% antenna efficiency). No, light bulbs output visible and infrared radiation. And perhaps some 60Hz line noise. None of which cause cancer because all of those are lower frequency than UV radiation.

They're your change addresses. Which wallet do you use?

the more likely explanation is that the block is mined by a botnet owner. if you don't include any transactions, you wouldn't need to verify them. if you don't need to verify them, you don't need to store the entire blockchain, which decreases detection.
Ah I've always wondered about those bitcoin botnets and how many computers they have working for them. (And what percentage of compromised computers actually have a decent hash rate)

Does this just mean the transaction fees aren't high enough? Shouldn't the fees be such that it's worth the overhead to include them in a block?

Didn't read most of your wall of text, so hoping I didn't miss something relevant. CPUs have been made obsolete in BTC mining, except in some cases of free electricity (unless you count pissing your landlord off) -- but even then, it wouldn't be worth your time.
You want the Radeon HD 5870s. 2 5870s = ~800MH/s = ~.0331BTC/day until difficulty changes. If you can run the cards for significantly less in electricity than revenue you'd be bringing in, then yes - it's worth it.
Yep, you'll make about $4 / day minus electricity.

Google authenticator should work just as well as a yubikey. Just remember to keep a backup of your key, or some one time passwords.

if these computers are being purchased from a grant, then it's not worth the risk. it sounds like you're non tenured on soft money, and getting caught using NSF or NIH or even university equipment for financial gain and not to mention your grant overhead goes toward power. it's one thing to run folding at home, but once you're trying to make money off of the computing power it's a bad idea. imagine if you rented out computation time to other universities and just pocketed the money.

Yes it's all possible, just be careful -- if your company pays for the electricity they won't be happy if they find out.

So you have the money for a down payment, but no real job? It's going to be real tough finding someone to cosign for you. If you do find someone to do it, don't forget that you have to justify where your down payment came from.

Here's my plan.
Buy 1 BTC through MTGox (when/if I get approved).
Trade/mine until I can afford a better miner.
Then I'll mine/trade/invest, and save 50% of the profits.
Use local bitcoins instead, much faster.

I read that Google wasn't allowing people to sell their glasses and was going to remotely disable them somehow.
