Yeah, I'm curious myself..
I haven't had to read through and (dis)agree to any new ToS, so right now I'm still trading through Gox.

i know it was already mentioned, but
The creation fee is set to 0.0005, the source can be modified to set the creation fee to 0.0001 and at that point since the relay fee is 0.0001, it'd be relayed to any pool/miner that hasn't modified the source code to change the min_relay_tx_fee.. sure, it'd be placed below all those 0.0005's, but with blocks going out at the rate they are now, you probably wouldnt have to wait any longer than at 0.0005. maybe a block or two at most.
if something happens like several months ago when there actually was a large amt of unconfirmed transactions queue'ing up (too much satoshi dice and the declining hashrate jan-feb), you'd probably want to set the fee to 0.00050001

The pricing seems to have increased dramatically compared to the 1st and 2nd batches. 1200, 1500, and currently ~5300+. It seems to be a very large jump, but if you have had the coin, then you can justify the cost.
You've got to think of it in BTC, not USD. Batch 1 was like ~125BTC, Batch 2 was ~77 BTC, Batch 3 ~ 75BTC. They're getting cheaper. You're paying BTC to mine BTC to use in a BTC economy. Don't value the BTC as USD and it's not a problem. yah, but the BTC economy isn't north korea how about i sell you one of my 5830's for 5 btc? that's cheaper than they were 6 months ago |

I have noticed that my mining pool (50btc) are now offering the option of selecting share difficulty. A higher difficulty share pays more, but takes longer to generate, so what is the advantages if any of selecting a higher share difficulty? I am mining in pps.
thanks
Dunno how it works on 50BTC, but on HHTT increasing the difficulty to certain points lowers the fee. Over a long period of time, you'd get the exact same number of difficulty 1 shares regardless of your set difficulty level. Umm, if the fees are the same regardless, I think the only benefit might be that it uses less of your upstream bandwidth? i occasionally mess around on HHTT and set difficulty to 10000, 20000, sometimes the max (65536) and just see if I get lucky... 65536 hit pays about .34 bitcoins or so... |

Well just dumped another $427.00 on another 7970.Since i don't see a way to buy an ASIC yet. So that's 3 7970's and 2 6970's so far. Hope i didnt make a mistake as i plan on buying 1 more 7970 also if this one pays for itself.
Well wish me luck and love the pool its been very good to us lately.
yeah, this bizarre behavior going on i was going to buy a card for gaming, but i guess i'll have to wait another month or so. if you think bitcoin price is going to go up, then you should buy bitcoins, not gpus i wouldnt touch either, but then, i suppose i said the same thing at $35 |

I need the twin fans only, I cant buy two fans as they are connected and go in to one mini 4-pin fan connector, I cannot find this anywhere.
Please list postage to U.K. i have BTC and varified Paypal.
get 2 of these: I've replaced many gigabyte fans. http://www.ebay.com/itm/271169460280?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649You'll need to remake the one cable. The RPM is read on only one of the fans. Not affiliated with that ebay seller, just ordered many fans from him and been very happy with his fast shipping. can vouch for crazyconn as well.. placed several orders & got them all within 3 business days can't stand those 5870 gigabyte cards. i strapped a 120mm fan on mine.. i don't think it's worth the cost to replace those fans, to be honest |

I have a ref design 5870 that I need to replace the fan on (and remove the shroud to do so), and the screw heads are all stripped. I'll probably be drilling them out.
Once I do, I'll need replacement screws to put it back together.
Does anyone have a set they wanna sell me? I'll offer 0.05 BTC for a set shipped to me in the US (US seller preferred).
PM me.
I have a nonfunctioning 5870.... it's missing one of the screws though... the stripped one that caused me to destroy the card in a fit of rage |

I am currently moderately interested. That could be bumped to very serious by providing PSU info and amount of pcie slots used/unused. And a price ballpark that could confirm this could be advantageous vs the 1.8khs/$ I can get with new and current hardware.
Just curious, what configuration produces this 1.8 khs/$ rate after you buy the GPU, motherboard, memory, processor, power supply, hard drives, riser cables, case/frame, networking equipment, KVM equipment, and invest the time to set it all up? I could see 1.8 if you are only buying the GPU, for example a 79xx series card... What have I missed? Thx, Planman You are adding a lot of unnecessary stuff there.... Like a lot. CPU/mobo/PSU/ram 450$ per 7 GPUs. In fact, might even be able to get almost 2khs/$ getting good specials new. But I'm not here to argue, just trying to get you to sell me second hand 3 generation old gear for fair price. you left out the $5 USB stick... |

What would you offer me for a 7970 that mines perfectly overclocked to 1100/950mem or so @ 660MH/s, but artifacts in Windows? I'm currently mining with it, which makes a few bucks a day, so I'm not dying to part with it.
Are the artifacts present even if you underclock/undervolt the card? |

use ramfs, and it only needs to be 8GB for at least another couple weeks
you can have getwork be a couple ms, but only if you use a small blocksize. at 50k, mine was usually around a second (ed: sorry, .01 seconds)

if I had one and actually believed that bitcoin prices would continue to increase, I'd probably try to get you up to ~15k, then use that 15K to purchase bitcoins. the second option would be to reinvest that 15k in even more ASICs.
i don't think they're going to keep going up, but apparently some other ppl in this thread do. so, what's so bad about the offer?

i had the same problem w/ not being able to connect. it was because it was trying to connect to 54.240.188.x instead of one of the new IPs... the pushpool address, I guess. So switched them all over to one of the new IPs. yeah, pretty horrible luck. 4 orphans, I think 1 of those occurred during that, um, 'version regression' though, eh? addnode 5.9.24.81 anyway  i have 5 found blocks w/ 114 paid out, with about half of that 114 being before the halving...  |

What if the .7 chain never catches the .8 chain?
Correct me if I'm wrong but if many miners abandon the .8 chain won't the difficulty adjust down, so that even though there are much few miners on the .8 chain they will still be able to stay ahead of the .7 chain due to the decreased difficulty?
If this were to happen would the .7 miners have to concede defeat to the .8 chain and switch or would they continue on and at that point we'd have 2 versions of bitcoin?
The .8 chain still seem to be growing and still has pools mining it?
it has grown by 1 in the last 2 hrs, some btcguild block difficulty adjusts don't happen that frequently ed: nm. looks like that btcguild was on the other side. yeah, just 1 How often does difficulty get adjusted if the hashing power is greatly reduced? Looking at this http://blockchain.info/pools BTCguild has a large 22% of total network hashrate, should we be worried that they are still working on the 0.8 chain? From what I understand, it's just one of their servers that hasn't been downgraded. Not sure how much of the total hashing power (of BTCGuild) that it has.. Difficulty is adjusted every ~2000 (ed2: 2016... I think. hah) blocks. I suppose some people could keep going on the orphaned side, but it won't matter anymore (after this pre 0.8 side catches up).... Uh, I forgot what that other orphaned chain was, but it depended on people upgrading their clients, not downgrading... orphaned blocks on that one continued to grow for months... I doubt it'd be the same for a downgrade |

Please explain how the timestamp of block 225449(2013-03-12 05:30:02) is before block 225448(2013-03-12 05:33:45)?
one of the two has the wrong time on their server |
|
|
|
...unless a miner adds another block to the 0.8 chain, in which case the height to beat will be greater than 225454. yeah, true enough. but then that'd show up on blockchain.info's main page |
