You are kidding right? namecoin also needs to be renewed, and currently it's several times more expensive than just registering a ICANN domain with godaddy.
Also the cheapest price in the world would do nothing, if the whole world don't support the protocol.
Several times more expensive huh? With the current rates it costs around $7.5 usd to register .bit and it will keep on getting lower. Renewal costs $0. Meanwhile godaddy costs $12 per year. well A few days ago it was at $20+, I guess it dropped in value recently. |

Also the cheapest price in the world would do nothing, if the whole world don't support the protocol. The problem is how do you convince the whole world to go against ICANN regulation and support .bit namecoin? My guess is it's almost impossible. So namecoin will remain an obscure experiment similar to OpenNIC
If the owning vs leasing argument doesn't convince people then the very low price of registration and renewal might. |

dwolla is not instant, but tradehill is usually quite fast, last transfer was just a few minutes for me.

So namecoin will remain an obscure experiment similar to OpenNIC icann just announced that you will soon be able to register any top level domains. no longer any need to "mine" .bit http://www.icann.org/Isn't the whole point of namecoin that your ownership/control of the domain is cryptographically secure - as secure as the blockchain. Therefore nobody can "steal" or "confiscate" your domain? |

I think it's a good idea, since the US government is planning to outlaw "over the counter" gold trading.

I tried ubuntu on my first miner, and I come to accept that linux is unsuitable for my mining purposes and I have been using Win7 ever since. So far I could overclock the core, underclock the mem, run reliably for weeks without reboot, and almost no problems so far on win7.

Question: when market opens should I sell BTCs for low?
or just withdraw the BTCs?
Depends on your trust issues, A. you lost trust in bitcoin itself ---> sell the bitcoins B. you lost trust in mtgox ---> withdraw the bitcoins I think it's best to just withdraw the coins and sell somewhere else like at tradehill. MtGox dwolla withdrawals are notoriously unreliable and slow even before all this. |

problem with clear coin is, it only protects the buyer, not the seller.
i have provided my reputation, but none of the potential buyers are providing theirs
Buyer have zero incentive to piss off the seller if everything goes well. Though I'd be a bit careful when selling to a buyer with post count less than 5. |

Nah, just hand etch the wallet.dat file bit by bit to an unused hard drive plaster. When you need your wallet.dat, just read the harddrive with your eyes and re-construct the bits.

who cares, just withdraw as fast as you can, and you'll be fine.
If MtGox has indeed lost control to their BTC deposit, it'll be impossible to withdraw any BTC, or possibly the first few withdraws might be successful if MtGox pays out of their own pocket (which is pretty deep considering they were making $30k worth of BTC per day). So I guess your advice is correct, withdraw as fast as you could and don't get left behind  |

Unless you are able to sell 5830 to me $109 shipped immediately, then I think you should stfu. Availability has its value. Sapphire 5830 at $160 is still cheaper than the cheapest Sapphire 6870 (rebate can only be used once per address, even with rebate it is $190). If you are building multiple machines with 4 x GPU, the price difference add up to a lot of money very quick.
Sure $109 price point is great, IF you can get them. Otherwise you'd have to wait god knows how long, and be god knows how fast to get any at $109.

expect to see a good amount of this the whole week as more and more money is coming in to buy up btc
I doubt it, as hackers recently got hold of tens of thousands of BTC, and I imagine they will be unloading them for a while, depressing the price |

Dedicated server is old school, nowadays you want VPS or cluster, both allowing instant scaling, not the dedicated crap.

too expensive for the marginal performance gain. Mining is all about money vs performance ratio. If liquid cooling had better ratio, people would be all over it.
