Just wanted to share this interesting article I just read. Time to speculate

Is there any way to tell what process was used to make the device just from pictures? 130nm?

The physical package dimensions won't really tell you anything  Undecided

That's what I figured. Although, I was only guessing because I know next to nothing about the subject.

I highly doubt November will happen. I was beat to the punch.

Man that's pretty awesome you found 2 blocks with 2 5770's! I've only found 1 block in 8 months but that was through a pool.
206  Economy / Goods / [WTS] Audiobahn ACX693Q 6x9 Speakers on: October 18, 2012, 08:50:28 PM
Here I have a set of new Audiobahn 6x9 speakers that I purchased quite a few years ago. I never got to use them because of some situations that were happening at the time(very long story). I decided to hang on to them because I thought I would someday use them but now I have changed my mind. I just want to point out a few things about these particular speakers: They are HUGE! SO if you don't want extremely large speakers...don't buy them. They are designed to be very LOUD! So if you don't want extremely loud music...don't buy them. They have been discountinued, because they are older models. So finding these particular Audiobahn speaker unused from anywhere would be extremely difficult.

This box probably weighs 25lbs or more so it's gonna cost a bit to ship it. I plan to ship via UPS in the states. I will ship other method if absolutely necessary. If someone outside the U.S. really wants these then I'm sure shipping this will be costly, but I will do it if the buyer pays. If I do not sell it here I will sell on ebay. Just giving it a shot here first. Thanks

Cost shipped to the U.S. 20BTC

I just posted about this in another thread but I didn't post the link. For those who don't think Bitcoin has a possibility of bringing huge innovations in waves(kinda like the Apple graph), you might not have heard of some of the interesting things built into the Bitcoin protocol. "Smart Property" and "Contracts" are the ones that I am most interested in. Here Mike Hearn explains...

Those new innovations may be just around the corner. Did anyone here listen to Mike Hearn talk about "Smart Property" and "Contracts". It is some really interesting shit that's built into the Bitcoin protocol.

Crazyates is right about underclocking your memory. If you just use MSI afterburner to underclock them to around at least the 300 mhz range you should see a decent drop in heat and power, and you really shouldn't see a noticeable drop in hashrate.

@Lebing
I live in an area that has cheap electricity and very good internet service. Since I am a business owner I get to come and go as I please, so maintaining my operation is easy for me to stay on top of if any problems arise. I can give you realistic projections and will be straight up with you if you are interested, pm me. Thanks

I am fixing to do the same thing DeaDTerra. I just now realized I could upgrade my jalepeno order to a Little Single. I feel like an idiot because I have seen so many posts about it but never thought about doing it myself. Tongue

You say you disagree with the timeframe. How many years are you thinking it will take to reach such heights?

If we take a pessimistic approach, Bitcoin could see an acceptance curve of more than 20 years. In respect of inventions throughout the centuries, there seems to be a common wavelike acceptance of new inventions. It is not uncommon that an invention looks promising, is disregarded by the masses or tossed in the wastebin (or dark drawer) by the inventor, only to pop up again after 5-15 years when the time became ripe. Every idea has its own time; every invention needs to ride the right wave.

If Bitcoin is to take this well known ride, we may have to deal with a long period of very low acceptance/usage of Bitcoin, perhaps even for 10 years or so, only to pick up steam when 'the wave' is right. Frankly, I think the 'wave' will be there a lot sooner due to (1) open mismanagement of fiat currency, (2) rising awareness amongst the people and (3) explosion of mobile internet/smartphones in developing countries.

Having said this, it seems prudent to expect a relatively stable or even dormant period for BTC for another 5 years.
For price projection, I tend to compare total global money supply (approx USD60-70 trillion) versus the total amount of BTC (21 mio). A market cap in the long term of 0,1% for BTC seems reasonable, which aligns with other projections of $900-3.000USD/BTC.

Very well said Smiley

I am totally ok with bitcoin in the shadows for 5 or so years to come. I have set goals and I am giving myself 4 years to accomplish them. I am very excited for what the future has in store for us "bitcoiners" in the future. I can't find any friends or acquaintances in my real life who believe in this idea as strongly as I do. I'm glad there are at least some others out there that share same views. I missed out on things like Microsoft and Apple mainly because of my age/immaturity. I do not intend to miss out on the "biggest invention since the internet". Cool

Just when I think I've heard it all...I read through the bitcointalk forum posts.
217  Economy / Speculation / Re: When the price will booom! on: October 14, 2012, 09:04:31 PM
I was also thinking along those lines. The reason being is because of the age of Bitcoin at that time being almost 10 years old which is usually about the time when new technology advancements tend to take off like crazy. I also think that since the reward will be halving down to 12.5 would ultimately make acquiring bitcoins a lot tougher. Imagine the difficulty and therefore network security in 4 years. Very interesting to think about.

219  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: What's in store for us amatuers on: October 14, 2012, 06:15:22 PM
We couldn't possibly know yet. Although most of do believe that within 6 months it will take more than 30 GH/s to generate a bitcoin a day. We are just speculating, but it's hard for us not to be realistic about all of the asics hitting consumers.
