7 is enough if your vid card is flat on the 2nd slot. Otherwise ANY 8 slot case would do

namecoin is not compatible with the ICANN DNS system, so why does it matter? ICANN can't regulate namecoin. There could be a ICANN version of .bit domain

mtgox servers are US based, that'll be pretty difficult for Japanese authorities to shut down.
2064  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Wild trading at tradehill on: June 21, 2011, 02:36:16 AM
Tradehill is run from a shared hosting account on hostgator.

Dedicated Hosting:
tradehill.com is hosted on a dedicated server.

http://whois.domaintools.com/tradehill.com

reverse IP look up says zero sites other than tradehill.com hosted at their IP address.

So I'd like to know how did you come to the conclusion that tradehill is being hosted at a "shared hosting account on hostgator"?

I don't understand his story either. At one point he says he submitted his ID, etc. to Mt. Gox to have his $1,000 limit raised. Elsewhere he says he couldn't withdraw more than ~600 BTC because of the withdrawal limit! Seems like one contradicts the other. Or am I missing something.

600 BTC is more than $1000. He never said "his" limit was $1000
2066  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Any solo miners here with less than 1GH/s? on: June 21, 2011, 12:03:23 AM
not worth it, even with something like 10 GH/s, it's possible to go a full month without finding a single block if you got hit with a difficult one

Steam games often on sale though. Steam calculator says my collection worth $3400+, but I just paid $600 for them.
2068  Other / Obsolete (selling) / Re: 4 brand new 5830s on: June 20, 2011, 08:28:02 PM
ok great, now people are aware there are "out of stock" 5830 on newegg that go for slightly less in price, but they will have to wait for god knows how long, and god knows how fast to get any.

Now let the dude sell his 5830 in peace.

You're preying off ignorance, which is part of Capitalism, yes.

I'm here to dispel ignorance.

Have a nice day.

2069  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: To those buying 5830's for resale on: June 20, 2011, 08:14:20 PM
I would posit that each one of those idiots will live to regret their purchase. They'll never see $160 from one of those cards (unless they bought them weeks ago, in which case we're not talking about the same thing. I'm talking about TODAY, 6/20/11).

P.T. Barnum said, "There's a sucker born every minute"

So the fact that you successfully ripped off 10 people doesn't prove a thing.

There are apparently many stupid people left, who STILL THINK BITCOIN IS WILDLY PROFITABLE. I just say it's profitable. The exciting blow-off top is behind us, unfortunately. Doesn't mean I'll quit mining, but I'll certainly not pay "any price" for a 5830 at this point.

Besides, if mining with them today were so profitable (@ $160 a card), why didn't you stick them in a couple PCs and make some "real money", rather than "sacrificing" them for $160 apiece?


already running at the maximum power in my basement, any more rigs I'm afraid they'd melt my power wiring or something.
2070  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: newegg return question on: June 20, 2011, 08:12:18 PM
newegg is a bitch for return, always 15% restocking fee plus you pay the shipping. This is why I have turned to amazon for most of my hardware. Similar price, but easy as hell return, I have returned $1000+ of stuff recently to amazon, and cost me nothing.
2071  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: To those buying 5830's for resale on: June 20, 2011, 08:07:24 PM
ok, except I grabbed ten 5830 from newegg at $109 last week, and posted in the sell forum here, they were sold out at $160+ price in matter of hours, and tons of people asking me if I got more.

2072  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Best way to get money in fast on: June 20, 2011, 05:59:11 PM
First get Dwolla account, mtgox and tradehill both accept dwolla. It takes just 3-4 days to get money into dwolla, then it takes a few minutes to transfer to tradehill (and god knows how long to transfer into mtgox).
2073  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: About Mt. Gox flaw from a security expert on: June 20, 2011, 05:54:50 PM
It doesn't really matter what OS you use, it is important that you really "know" the OS you have chosen, I mean really "know" your sh*t about the OS.

FreeBSD/Linux can be set up poorly with tons of security holes.
Windows Server can be set up with rock solid security and nearly impossible to break.

It just depends on how well you know security, the OS and programming.
2074  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What have we all learnt from the Mt Gox incident? on: June 20, 2011, 04:16:39 PM
i just received a mail from Tongue MtGox with a self extracting archive ( .exe ) purporting to be a certificate to help combat this.... no way am i opening it, it got captured by my spam services anyhow but really.. who the hell is gonna trust an executable from them now ?

Not for them.
From: can be trivially spoofed.
Don't run any .exe
Don't use windows.
Don't touch windows with 20 meter stick while doing anything related to security of more then few bucks.

Jesus, guys.



Windows is fine, and is more secure than linux. If linux would receive the same amount of malicious attacks that windows receive, linux would become unusable and would require patches for years. The security on some of the linux distros is atrocious. Linux security is achieved through obscurity. An attacker isn't going to bother writing attacks against an OS that less than 1% of people use, and those that do use linux are likely to be highly technical.

Actually I'm glad they send numbers as strings, as that's the way it should be done. It's up to the requesting script to determine how to handle the data.

67.5ohm




i tried that one with 75ohms, but it didn't work out. i wonder if there is anything you can do (i did) wrong while putting the resistor in ^^

It seems some resistor don't work, I got a few 75 and 100ohm from radioshack, and they both worked. But I also ordered a big pack of 75ohm from ebay, and these don't work this way (but works when I use them with a vga converter). It seems the ones I got from ebay are a lot thinner than the radioshack ones though, but they both say 75ohm
2077  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: MtGox UPDATE on: June 19, 2011, 10:01:16 PM
And what about the users who had their accounts compromised in the past few weeks or so?

Many were trolls who lied, IMO.
A password hash does not allow you to login. The mysterious big account might have had a virus/key-logger on his PC.

Actually it does if SQLI attack were possible (which apparently it is at mtgox). All the server want is compare the password hash with the one it had in the db. If you bypass the login box and provide the server with the hash directly thru SQLI attack, the mtgox server would allow you to login.

ZOMG!

testt, letmein, phildick, nandgate, football, spotty...

REALLY PEOPLE???

2079  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Look on the Bright Side! on: June 19, 2011, 08:58:09 PM
Surely the correct order is:

1. sell a lot of bitcoins, driving the price to $0.01
2. withdraw $1000 worth of bitcoins.  that's 100,000 BTC
3. buy a lot of bitcoins, driving the price back to $13

now the $1000 worth of bitcoins you withdrew are now worth $1.3 million.

I wonder if that's what happened.

yes except: why the fuck would they do #1 in the first place?

To get around the withdraw limit on mtgox
2080  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: The TRUTH on: June 19, 2011, 08:54:25 PM
lol, it was anything but the truth. The fact is ALL mtgox account has been compromised, and at least a few people lost money.
