21  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Windows GPU limit? on: June 07, 2011, 06:48:54 PM
I'm still waiting for even unofficial evidence of this. So far it's been nothing but hearsay.

The only evidence I've seen thus far is people having trouble physically getting 5 video cards (not gpus) into place. But 4 double-gpus seems to be ok (meaning 8 gpus). Still waiting on some evidence either way.
The company building my 3x6990 system says windows isn't recognizing the 3rd card. I told them to test again with Linux, we'll see how that goes.
22  Bitcoin / Mining / Windows GPU limit? on: June 07, 2011, 06:39:01 PM
I recall hearing that windows has a GPU limit that prevents running 3x6990's because that would 6 GPU's total. What is the windows limit and is it possible to run 3x6990 on Linux?

you mean i have 60 days to reverse my PP purchases? Freaking sweet! I'm just kidding.

I'm glad i was a purchaser and not a seller. If PP did wind up reversing my transactions, I'd find a way to pay the seller but i guess that's just me newbie 5233 at BitcoinMarket.

I'd love to be able to use PayPal and have my ebay and paypal id available for potential sellers to review prior to accepting my offer to buy. As I've been on ebay since 2001.

I'm just glad i got in before just before the paypal issues and prior to going back to invite only, otherwise I'd be on the outside looking in.

PayPal was a good option especially considering the velocity that it was driving the market, it did have a lot of new people looking at picking up some bitcoins. Alas, it also attracted some less than desirable characters too.

The reversals aren't happening by accident. They occur when someone says their account was stolen (perhaps even rightly so). Paypal then sides with the buyer and returns their funds because on paypal the buyer always wins.
24  Economy / Marketplace / 250GB Hard Drives for Xbox 360 - 5.5 BTC shipped! on: June 01, 2011, 02:53:47 AM
I can't figure out how to get the Bitcoin module for Zen cart working so purchasing straight from my website with bitcoin doesn't work but I can do it via email/PM if anyone wants to buy a hard drive with bitcoin.

A 250GB hard drive for an Xbox 360 Classic or Xbox 360 S (aka Slim/Kinect/4gb) is 5.5 BTC and includes free First Class Mail shipping within the US (You can upgrade to Priority Mail for .33 BTC, Express Mail for 1.7 BTC) .

You can get the 7200 RPM version (10-15% faster) for 1 BTC more.

If you want a flashed hard drive with no case so that you can upgrade your existing Xbox 360 hard drive subtract .5 BTC from the price.

International shipping (Priority Mail International) is 1.1 BTC extra to Canada, 1.35 BTC to the rest of the world.

My website is www.cfventure.net if you'd like proof that these hard drives aren't imaginary but, again, this only has USD/EUR/GBP/AUD/CAD so PM me or email cfventure@gmail.com if you want to buy with bitcoin.

edit - Didn't realize I wasn't in the selling forum but rather the general marketplace section and I can neither delete my own post nor report it to an admin so if someone wants to move the most that would be swell.

edit 2 - Made my own bitcoin payment module that doesn't use JSON (which I couldn't figure out) so you can now buy with BitCoin straight on the site, the price is a little higher because I used a $8.50 valuation for the site. If you PM me email me to do a bitcoin transaction I will honor the prices in this post.
25  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Is mining on Linux any faster than on Win7? on: May 30, 2011, 06:52:55 AM
For that matter, is 64-bit any better than 32-bit?


Yes, mining on linux will give you a -little- fast result, result of the less overhead from linux. Don't think 86/64 makes a difference.
Care to quantify that? Does it reduce output by a percentage or just a set amount? I'm more familiar with windows (making a miner run on bootup, etc) so if the difference is negligible that would probably be the route I choose.
26  Bitcoin / Mining / Is mining on Linux any faster than on Win7? on: May 30, 2011, 06:40:10 AM
I'm going to be building a mining rig in a couple weeks (3x6990) and I wanted to know if anyone had tested the performance difference between any linux distros and Win7. Is either OS more efficient than the other at mining?
27  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: [MINER] Phoenix - New efficient, fast, modular miner **BFI_INT support!** on: May 29, 2011, 05:24:00 AM
Is there a performance difference between phoenix for Linux and Win7? Is any distro better than another? I've got a 3x6990 system coming that I want to use as a dedicated miner so I want the most efficient setup possible. If there's no performance difference I'll probably go with Win7 because I'm more familiar with it.
28  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / What is an RPC? on: May 16, 2011, 03:26:18 AM
I've added a bitcoin module to my website so that people can checkout with bitcoin but it asks for a BitCoin RPC host address as well as a user name and password. I've google a bit and found API calls for RPC but no explanation of what it is and what this address should be, nor the login credentials.
