I so love my computers running during this cold time, so nice and toasty (outside 42F, inside 75F) that I do not eager much to turn them off. I guess if you live in a house that would be a different story.
When my asic arrives, I may just switch to litecoin mining, already tried figured out how it works so the process will be easy. Maybe consider gaming on them too, but haven't tested 2 5970's against gtx570.

It's better without the case. It gets hotter inside the case. You can set motherboard on anything that doesn't conduct electricity. In most cases on an anti static bag. I have it like that, my second motherboard is set on top of a laptop cooler.
Anti-Static bags are slightly conductive. Never place running motherboard on one of those. It depends on the bag. The best way to check is to use a multimeter before putting it on the specific surface. |

Hi,
It seems that a lot of people are having problems with chargebacks on paypal.
In most cases you will lose the dispute and the scammer will win.
Golden tip:
1. Accept the payment as GOODS. (Not as gift or anything else, ask them to pay you as if they bought a good).
2. Make them go to the payment page and make them click the "confirm receipt" button.
-> So the buyer says that he has received his item.
When the user/scammer opens a dispute you can simply bring up that they have clicked the "confirm receipt" button and that they have received their goods.
PS: They can bring up a dispute under the catergory "item is not as described" but you'll have to prove them otherwise then.
I am assuming you are asking them to confirm receipt before you send out bitcoins, right? |

Im suprised the world Governments haven't started to step in yet. Bitcoin is the only true "virtual currency" that was made specifically for transactions, unlike other stuff like Linden dollars who's primary purpose is a gaming enviroment. Also btc's main transactions were blackmarket drug and gun markets.
When this gets bigger expect the big politicians to be mongreling fear and paranoia, and saying the word "terrorist" repeatedly in speeches to put pressure on the community, while the Government creates it's own specialized miners in their science labs to take over the whole scene.
Won't they just be mostly scared, cuz they like to control money, how much and when, whereas you cannot do that with bitcoin... |

Someone mentioned that to me before too, and I was omg scary. But then found out that In states, not illegal to mine, not illegal to trade, not illegal to trade for other stuff. The U.S. Treasury states quite clearly: There is, however, no Federal statute mandating that a private business, a person or an organization must accept currency or coins as for payment for goods and/or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether or not to accept cash unless there is a State law which says otherwise. For example, a bus line may prohibit payment of fares in pennies or dollar bills. In addition, movie theaters, convenience stores and gas stations may refuse to accept large denomination currency (usually notes above $20) as a matter of policy. Coinage Act of 1965, Section 31 U.S.C. 5103 United States coins and currency (including Federal reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal reserve banks and national banks) are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues. Foreign gold or silver coins are not legal tender for debts. Referenced: http://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/7701/is-it-illegal-to-refuse-us-currency-for-a-purchase |

And in those cases where people end up with nothing, those people die off. What's the big deal?
Well, most people on earth realize that our society can only exist if we take care of everyone. We are social animals and thus feel compassion for others because everyone knows that there is a good chance that they themselfs may need help at some point. If everyone thought like you then we would not live in this relatively nice and stable world. It would be dog eat dog and only assholes would survive. Now, would you want to live in a world composed primarily out of assholes or is it enough for you to look in the mirror in the morning? +1. Your explanation worth taking count. I believe the same way, we are a society that holds on social connections and thus helping each other in small ways can bring everyone up. We slowly crawled to this point and if we wouldn't then we would still live in era of poverty, wars and dictatorship. |

Hello there, US citizens
My girlfriend wants some Pop Tarts but unfortunately I can't buy them here in Germany (Kelloggs says they are not allowed to be sold as a food here :-) )
Anyone want to buy some and send them to me?
It would be
- 2 12-pack cinnamon roll
- 2 12-pack cookies&creme
- 2 12-pack low fat brown sugar cinnamon
- 2 12-pack unfrosted brown sugar cinnamon
- 2 packs of lucky charms
shipped to Germany.
What amount of bitcoins would you need for that?
-Belkaar

For some reason I acutally used paypal for doing business across international borders.... now some dood thought it would be funny to rip me off $120 of LCD screens(I even gave him a deal... sigh). And claims that the package I sent him was empty..... Oh gawd... Never again will i make this mistake... long story short i have a negative balance, and knowing paypal I will not get the refund the scamming customer will.
You should be able to prove at least that you sent something heavy with the receipt you get from the shipping carrier. They always add a weight of the item to that. Nope, because nobody intentionally scamming the buyer would send an empty package. They'd always add weight using bags of sugar, slab of concrete or massive kidney stones. There is no sure way of handling this. My memory is fuzzy on this cold Octoberian morning, and I'm light on the details but I remember a good while ago reading about buyer being scammed that way. The guy bought complete Mac desktop computer, or two, with accessories; can't remember exactly what it was, about 5-6 separate items in total, worth about $5k. He received heavy package containting some crap (signed and opened after courier was gone). The seller argued that buyer is lying, and if not, then surely box contents were swapped during transit by someone working for the UPS and buyer should trigger an investigation with them. In that case Paypal sided with seller, it didn't even help that reported box weight didn't match sum of weight of individual components. I pretty much like practices in some Muslim countries, if you steal, you get your arm chopped off. On the other hand it really sucks for false positives. Makes me now rethink what I sell  , and world used to be a better place. There are chances that people who actually work at post offices would open the package and steal contents. I had to send packages to Russia to my family and on the custom form I always had to write something other than the actual content. Something that would be cheap and people wouldn't be interested in it. paypal is the best thing that ever happened to bitcoin

I love the website. I know lendingclub pretty well, and having something similar in bitcoin is a great idea.
Especially when you can request a loan at a lower rate without predetermined by the system at a high %.
Not sure how it sounds, but I thought about what if people who paid their loan got badges.
Then based on how many times they repaid they would earn certain type of badges.
Paid 10 times, got 10+ badges 50 times - 50+, etc.

Before i export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100 & GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1. Maybe trouble with freespace on my usb flash drive. Without --thread-concurrency option maximum hashrate about 340 on each gpu khash/s. You will get this error message if your thread-concurrency is set high but the memory clock on the graphics card is under clocked. I've ran into this problem while trying to mine litecoins, then I restored my graphics card settings back to original and it started hashing without problem. |

No fans, not even CPU fan, no beeps, no screen, just a the CLR button is lit
Hm, you wrote in your first post about how your fan just spin a bit, and I thought you may have same problem as I did. Sorry to say, but your fans look nasty, blow some compressed air through fans. Sometimes dust on motherboard itself can cause a short circuit. |
|
|
|

Make sure you have sound connected to the motherboard to hear if it posts cuz sometimes that could be a problem.
I had that happened to me, it would power one, fans move once and then everything stops. In my case my CPU died.
If motherboard is dead it wouldn't even turn anything on and wouldn't have a light on it.
If RAM is dead, the CPU fan would still be spinning. Also if its a power supply test it with the paper clip by itself.

how'd the buyer get paypal to reverse the charge for a non-tangible product? they told me i was shit outta luck when i got scammed outta $34 the other day...
They say their accounts got compromised and I believe it's a different story from just getting scammed by fake companies, or if you paid with a credit card through PayPal.. |
