That is indeed a good price! Too many semi-scammers are fishing for the uninformed, offering down to 50% of market price.. Its a plague here, in malls, shops, kiosks, sometimes several of them in a street!

As soon as you have several customers for reputation you will have a lot of business, I am sure!

Two minor ideas:
-Special (better) rate for coins?
-Show the price in oz as well?

Since its all "too" easy to inform and compare on the internet, I suggest doing this as transparently as possible.. Realtime gold-charts, maybe a forum and the like..

Wish you luck and success, I see Bitcoins and precious metals close to each other!

No matter what you use as a medium to transport the heat, you have to cool this medium as well. With an unlimited supply of air, you simply exchange it. With a regular watercooling-setup, you pump the water through the block, then through a heatexchanger. So far so easy.

With an immersed computer, you can cool all components fairly well, but still heat up your oil. How do you want to cool it? with a pump and heatexchanger? You will run into the same problems as with aircooling once there are parts of the aquarium where the oil isnt exchanged and hot "pockets" form.. Might not be a problem for a regular computer, convection might be sufficient, the large surface of the tank might even be enough to get rid of all the heat by itself..
But we are not talking about a 200w computer here, are we? More like 1kw? I am pretty sure immersion cooling scales horribly..

I still think waterblocks and regular heatexchanger are the most reasonable cooling system (for higher needs in cooling capacity or silence). Maybe even just watercooling the GPU, the rest of the card with small heatsinks and a relatively slow fan..

Indeed, a networkprotocol cant seriously be banned (in the way that it doesnt exist any more afterwards). But even if its illegal and perfectly useable, it will deter 99% of all possible users and all legal merchants. Without that as a backup, it would even get uninteresting for blackmarket use. So, ban the trading (which is somewhat easy to do), bring the BTC system to a halt.

That said, I highly doubt it will ever get banned in european countries. Which might be enough for a stable system..

On a sidenote: In Germany they try to pass a law to outlaw any anonymous purchase of money, currency, vouchers, no matter how small the amount..

Hmm, I dont know.. Sure, trolling is a problem in a lot of forums, but does this really help?
One could just spam the newbies section, a dozen posts in a few minutes.. Sure, you could ban people doing this. But then you could ban them in the other areas as well, not?

So, how about having several, a lot of janitors? In most forums this possition is popular and not difficult to fill.

I dont have a lot to contribute yet, so I would read 95% of the time and post ocassionaly.
But oh well, I guess I just wrote post 2 of 10 now! :-)

Try putting your RAM into slots 2, 4, 6 (depending on how many you have), not into the other slots.
If that and the other ideas dont work.. I too guess faulty hardware or incompatible BIOS settings (less likely).

Good luck, keep us updated!
