I like my mini-rig. But my estimated btc income per day is dropping slowly little by little...
as is everyone's, really. and i don't think there is any circumstance where that won't be the case. the keep a given level of income from mining, one will need to continually grow their hash rate. i'm not suggest we'd need to buy a new $1000 worth of hardware each month, but now and then to counteract the rise in difficulty? yea. now, if only i had the money to DO that... |

very interesting read, this thread... makes me all ponderful and such. (yes, ponderful. shut up.)

i'll have to give that a shot. thanks.

i keep mine on in my personal wallet.dat anyway.  |

currently sitting on a whopping 300 mhash making around .12 btc a day. it's not much, i know. i want to get into ASICs (own a few shares of ASICMINER already!) and eventually rig em to solar/wind/whatever for free electricity and live off the mining revenue. finally free me up from the rat race.

without doing any math that is a bit above my head anyway - it's probably a combination of the odds and the fee. with such a small bet it may have gone a bit wonky though, fee wise. i'm no expert in this subject. |

I concur, I allready have a PC, so I actually don't wan't the miner to be able to mine standalone, what/who is the intended audience, multibillion rack farms!?
there ARE going to be big mining rack farms, so someone might as well cater to them. when you're looking at mining operations as a business i could see these being useful after a certain point. |

selling my cyborg R.A.T. 7 gaming mouse with all accessories including case for unused parts. i paid 100 USD for it, and it's served me incredibly well... until the left click died after far too much diablo 3. it still works, though sometimes double clicks or doesn't unclick. all other functionality besides left clicking is perfect.
given the broken nature of the mouse, i have no real idea of it's value, or indeed if there's any interest at all, but thought i'd toss up a post anyway. maybe a hardware savvy person can replace the sensor? i don't know. reply here or PM me and we'll discuss price and shipping. any reasonable offer will be considered.

for now... ASIC arrivals/block reward halving both occurring within roughly a couple months of each other is gonna make a hell of a winter.
Dont worry. Bitcoin fans love buying coins after they do a run up in price. Go figure right? indeed. not worried about it - just watching with interest. ...and hoping to scrounge enough for some new hardware... |

Obviously this is all highly hypothetical, but you do realise that a big majority of people downloading/upgrading the client simply do so blindly, right? The vast majority of the user base simply upgrade every time they remember to do so or are told to do so, and since they have no idea of the innards of the system it's for the best they generally do so. But what do you think those people are going to do when they can't mine on any pools? Just sit there? No, they are going to scream bloody murder and/or downgrade back to a version that works. miners would, sure. but non-mining users would, at best, only notice slower transaction confirmation, wouldn't they? sure, plenty would wonder why, investigate, and switch clients. others... well, wouldn't. |

Is this out of the blue? I don't recall hearing anything about deepbit asics. Hasn't been announced in English yet shh  But seriously, am I the only one that attempts to read the other-languaged forum? i just tried via google translate. ...yea... i'm gonna have to wait for an english announcement. |

Is transparent possible?  well, my admittedly limited understanding of PCB functionality being what it is, i don't see why not. i mean, the material the substrate is made of doesn't matter at long as it's nonconducting, right? sure, they're usually... what, some sort of fiberglass based board? but couldn't a PCB just as easily be plastic or glass, technically speaking, anyway? *ahem* sorry. i got off on a bit of a tangent there... People have used glass and semitransparent flexible materials such as kapton, however I think economically glass is more expensive and kapton doesn't have high heat/chemical resistance. well, i never said it would be ideal, just possible. |

ASICMINER is supposed to be selling the hardware too. but yes, they do plan to mine on the first batch of chips themselves, both to refine the design of the PCB and software and such, and to repay investors faster, if i understand the situation correctly.
also, has openbit asic said anything around here in months? i'd assumed that was defunct.

In a hundred years, or two hundred, future historians will note the last several decades as the era when the United States impoverished itself to catapult the rest of the world into the modern age.
I am pretty sure that ,to the contrary, history will reflect that, post WWII, American Corporate interests dealt themselves the best hand ever and used American military power to maintain colonial hegemony over much of the globe, placing and supporting many well documented brutal dictatorships in the process. But hey, tell yourself whatever happy stories make you sleep better. It also helps to repeat "they hate us for our freedoms, they hate us for our freedoms" over and over They call it ..bringing Democracy , i am suprised that Jung Americans still, fall for that BS. Like , kjj damn..wake up..why u think every body hate USA. H well, we (american's that is) DO tend to be arrogant snobbish loudmouths with entitlements issues when we travle abroad and tend ot think we're the best, even though it's easily demonstrable we're not... anyone know any islands for sale? |

yeah.. You need about 10x your hashing power..
yea, that's where my math puts it. of course, at this point i'm waiting to see how the whole ASIC thing shakes out. that and looking for meatspace employment... |
