21  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Why is everyone trying to sell the USB Asic K1 Miner??? on: July 31, 2013, 07:02:24 PM
Before you say it, no I don't sell BEs.  I do have 3 of them.  But I do still have a number of GPUs mining, too.  Did I also waste my money there, too?

No because GPU's have alternate uses such as video display for a pc and processing power for gaming.  They can mine alt-coins.  They can run protein folding for cancer research.  They also have a resale value.

USB miner sticks will be landfill...just like the huge box full of 8MB-128MB usb thumb drives I just tossed.

Watching also, need a bit more hashing power .1 sounds awesome .6 is still to much :/

Yup, even with a GENEROUS 15% per 11 day diff increase these things will only make .44 BTC in their lifetime ( starting at currently difficulty of 31.3m)

June 2013 was the 340th consecutive month of above-average global temperatures.

Yes because the last 100 years as a sample size is all we need to determine AGW as fact.
25  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [LTC] An (even more) optimized version of cpuminer on: July 18, 2013, 09:25:14 PM
version 2.3.2
32bit version for sha256d is not working for me (just hangs) but works fine on scrypt.
I have no problems with the 64bit version for scrypt or sha256d.

Tested on 32bit win xp and server 2003

I use v2.2.3 if I need to run sha256d on 32bit systems.

Confirmed on Windows XP, though interestingly enough it seems to run with no problem at all in wine.
Even more interesting is the fact that if I build it with a different version of gcc it appears to run fine everywhere. I have now uploaded this build, please see if it works for you.

sha256d is working on XP 32bit on new build.
no more stratum proxies yay!  (Although I did like seeing the difficulty level for each share)
Thanks Pooler!

if i can't buy them, a lot of people can't. what's that mean then?
demand is high, we should raise the price.

somebody gets it.

Greed?

Seriously.  Happy customers = repeat customers and invaluable word of mouth advertising.  Its not going to be pretty when they realize their 1BTC device can only make .5 BTC in its lifetime.

So let's say someone decided to mine a huge portion of the network, such as Friedcat does.  Then they get paid by someone who wants to destroy Bitcoin to deliberately slow their latency down so that they are able to solve blocks with a very minimal amount of transactions.  

You get a few people doing this, and it would destroy Bitcoin.

Much more creative than a 51% attack..

It would not destroy bitcoin.  It would drive up transaction fees until either not including them is too expensive or more honest miners come online.

driving up transaction fees could destroy Bitcoin as an alternate currency, seeing as how low transaction fees is supposed to be one of it's strongest points.

I don't see low transaction fees as among it's strongest features.  More important are decentralized control, potential privacy, and censorship resistance.  In fact these features provide the business case for paying more for transactions than with fiat based systems.  Lower fees are just a nicety of the current economics.

I strongly disagree.  As a merchant paying 1.75% to 3% for credit card transactions (100's everyday) it adds up.

I'd like to be whitelisted so I can participate in some of the group buys...when the price is right.

Pic shows 1 of my 5 gpu mining rigs.

I bought some at $102 and then some more at $83.  Almost bought more at $70 but missed out.
33  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Hi, my name is Bill...... on: July 09, 2013, 08:22:03 PM
I'm mining with 7 USB ASICs at the moment. Not much I know but they were given to me and they run in my data center ( free electric and AC). My startup costs were zero so anything I make is profit at this point. I'm looking to add more equipment as soon as I have available funds.  I have tons of space in the data center.

Bill

Sounds good, but don't buy USBs anymore.

Unless the price drops to about $20 each
34  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcoin is Dead on: July 09, 2013, 06:41:55 PM
I agree but its not dead yet.  ASICMINER is in it for the money.  They do not care about bitcoin's future. Otherwise they should NOT be mining and just sell hardware.  They could limit the amount of GHs per order so 1 person cant order several THs.  This would at least slow down the centralization somewhat.
