Also ( forgot to mention in other message and can't edit ), who at 17 years of age has that many credit and debit cards Huh

I am like WTF at that age you can only get a "student" card here in the UK and he has like 8 or something LOL
FWIW I only saw debit cards, which makes sense.

I have yet to see any indication that these products actually exist.
That's because you are a stupid fuckup that is running around with his hands over his ears and eyes shouting "LA LA LA LA LA LA LA" in order to drown out all the real actual evidence that they do, in fact, exist. There are photographs all over the forum from many different users, and I know of at least four videos of these things on the interwebs.

I don't know whether it will have handles on top, but from the pictures it seems to have four vertical posts of threaded rod that appear to run all the way down to the base of the rig that could possibly be structural or used to carry it. If they screwed into a plate in the base, the plate could support the rest of the rig when picked up by those.

Now that I see the cooling design, it makes a lot more sense to me and I think it will work better than I expected.

For those that haven't quite figured it out how it works, it seems that the fan intakes (or maybe the exhaust? Not sure which way they blow...) are set up against a metal(?) plate with holes in it, and not just spinning freely in space. That plate acts as a duct from one side to the other, allowing for cool intake air evenly across all modules, not just the ones on the side of the intake fans.

As for the exhaust, well it isn't quite as pretty of a picture as far as I can tell, but it certainly should be much less of a problem with all the fans.

All further communication regarding bitcoinica will be posted on bitcoinica.com
It's about fucking time you started using that website for more than just a placeholder.

It works on my blackberry with Opera Mobile, that's cool. But the secure password that I created didn't work for logging in via WAP, even though it did work for logging in to the website. The secure password included symbols such as #, !, and *, and was 16 characters log generated by LastPass. When I chose the password reset option, the password was reset to a shorter one with only numbers and lowercase letters, although the new, reset password allowed me to access the site via WAP.

It looks like you can only send coins via an email address somehow, is that correct? EDIT: Apparently recipients must have a Walletbit account, but the limitations might be because Opera Mobile is crappy.

Yeah most industrial equipment that I have seen is rated with humidity tolerances between 5 and 90 percent, non-condensing. Servers are only a little tighter on those restrictions, but still far outside the normal human comfort range.
1872  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [IDEA] Dirt cheap online storage on: June 10, 2012, 04:01:18 AM
If cloud storage is superior, then why is it so expensive?  $125/TB/month?
In the case of AWS, it is costly because it is so extremely redundant to absolutely paranoid levels. You can save 30% by choosing Reduced Redundancy Storage, but even then they store you data across several servers.

For Standard (paranoid) redundancy, they say "Designed to provide 99.999999999% durability and 99.99% availability of objects over a given year. Designed to sustain the concurrent loss of data in two facilities."
And for Reduced Redundancy, they say "Designed to provide 99.99% durability and 99.99% availability of objects over a given year. This durability level corresponds to an average annual expected loss of 0.01% of objects. Designed to sustain the loss of data in a single facility."

So for the first option, you could literally wipe out two whole datacenters with missiles or whatever, and they would still have a backup copy.

I've just got to wonder why you want to power an amp with an ATX PSU lol.

EDIT: I just remembered some new user advertising this site: http://www.caraudioauction.com/ however I have no idea whether it is legit or not. Penny auction site that takes bitcoins.

And about those extremely careful database backups from the Coinexchanger website... well as careful as they may be, they offer no protection against the stupid coding of the rest of the website. The thread where I posted all the information to was moved to the trashcan, but suffice to say that when I created an account on the site, it magically contained 300 and some odd bitcoins, a complete transaction history from another user, and would not allow any trades or withdrawals because of database errors and other mysterious problems.

And besides that, there was no market depth charts, nor any way to see how the market was moving... in short the entire website was rigged together with duct tape and twine, and offered no way to actually exchange any coins.

Also, can you please tell me, if you can have access to that information when was #fuckBitcoinica started for the first time?
It isn't registered:
Code:
/cs info #fuckbitcoinica
[21:11] -ChanServ- Channel #fuckbitcoinica is not registered.
And I haven't been on IRC for a while to know when it first was opened or how to check that.
1876  Other / Off-topic / Re: rjk, please enlightnen us about Bitcoinica on: June 10, 2012, 01:03:29 AM
What bugged me most was seeing phantomcircuit's(Patrick) answer on IRC when he got questioned about it: he just wrote it off like it didn't matter at all, saying ageis was surely trolling #FuckBitcoinica, when the site where the log was taken from doesn't even log any Bitcoin related IRC channel.
Now let me ask you: Isn't that the slightest bit suspicious to you? If someone stole 18K BTC from you wouldn't you follow even the most absurd lead just to be sure that wasn't the person?

IRC clients can change nicks and post statuses as well as messages across several channels and servers. Although most will default to only changing a nick on a single server, it is also possible to change it across some or all of them, as well as broadcast messages to all the channels that you may be joined to, regardless of whether they are all on the same server. It's harder to tell unless someone wants to post a complete log of #FuckBitcoinica, since it was new and unlogged.

I understand Phinn may be a little over the top saying that ZT doesn't exist,

The problem is, most noobs won't know that Phin is just trolling for the lulz, since he acts so serious.
1877  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Algorithmically placed FPGA miner: 245MH/s/chip and still rising on: June 10, 2012, 12:17:53 AM
well, there are definitely some interesting issues to consider.  I for one will be happily running this bitstream on 30+ enterpoint boards...  I would quite imagine making the server as secure and stable as possible would be priority one. I know I would not spend too much time flopping bitstreams on that many units. If the servers are stable I'll be there if not then no biggie, load the next best bitstream and move on with my life....


I ask again, any word on running this on Enterpoint hardware?
For it to work on existing hardware, the specs for the pinouts and things have to be sent to ET since they all are different. He will then modify the design to fit each hardware platform and run on it. It would probably be best to contact Enterpoint and see whether they have plans to submit their designs to ET for consideration.
1878  Other / Off-topic / Re: rjk, please enlightnen us about Bitcoinica on: June 10, 2012, 12:13:19 AM
Good idea to finally have a thread that is outside of the main thread for discussions.

The reason I said that is because it seems obvious to me that Gage is/was posting all sorts of things that I found to be completely impossible to believe and/or correlate with real life. He claims to have pierced some kind of secret veil and found that Zhoutong ....wait for it.... doesn't even exist. I'm sure that any of the people here that may have met him in person can attest to the absurdity of this kind of conclusion. I find no reason to pursue such a ludicrous and contrived parcel of things presented as evidence which are nothing more than proof of the opposite position.

Furthermore, in regards to the statements you made against ageis, I won't stick up for him personally. I just find that him being the hacker is hard to believe, given the fact that so much of his information is available already for those that care to actually look deeper into his online persona, which you appear to have neglected to do.

Finally, I will state that my involvement with Bitcoinica et al is nothing more than as a customer who deposited no more than a superficial amount of coins to try the service with. Those were withdrawn months ago and I now have a zero balance.

(P.S., Interesting that Liberty Payout also seems to think that I am involved with CoinXchanger and owe WME some money. I also hereby state that I have no involvement with that organization either, besides as a customer with a zero balance.)

Use search terms like BFL and/or Single as well as mini-rig. Also, forum search sucks, maybe try google with the site: parameter or look in the dedicated FPGA section (within Hardware) for individual thread titles that look promising.
1880  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Personal Experiences with BFL BitForce? on: June 09, 2012, 11:20:40 PM
I have searched the forum and found a couple threads with about 2000 posts and a lot of yelling, but I didn't have the patience to dig into it to find anyone who said they've actually purchased and tested a BitForce Single. 

I was thinking that I could sell a few of my power-hungry GPUs and replace them with a BitForce single, but the specs seem too good to be true.  Does it really achieve the stated performance?  830 MHash/s with 80W power consumption, for $600...? 

Also, how difficult is it to get setup and grinding in Linux?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=77796.0 <-- the wait list

I have one, but I haven't used it in linux. Basically the current downside is the ship time, which is quite a bit more than they say. You may want to lock this and dig some more, otherwise this will just become another one of those threads with 2k posts and mostly yelling. There is a lot of info although most of it sucks.
