The interplanetary money netwotk won't be different from banking with the colonies during America's colonization efforts (or plundering). People traded here and there even though transacctions had to be verified via "ship-mail" ocnfirmations with a 6 months latency. And economy worked nonetheless... so what's 20 minutes round trip to mars? Nohting!

And for the problems with double mining and chain forx : the simple solution! Use TWO different coins: one for Mars and another for Earth.. Make them interchangeable, tough, and adjust difficuty each 20 minutes so they grow sinchronously. Any other problem?

Nice.

Get a bollinger  on it, you will see it is trading in a direction with market support upwards, which would  indicate the actual status quo.

Problem is that this sort of technical analysis is bollox because the market is unstable  due to stupidity......
and no one knows where the next batch of gross stupidity is going to come from (Greece, MTGOX)....... US?

Personally my money is on MTgox... far too many dirty little secrets..

246  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Powered PCIE risers with capacitors on: June 27, 2013, 12:12:58 AM
If riser is done 'good' there is no reason it will cause fire.
And capacitor might be a good idea - it will smoothen voltage fluctuations, assuming it is on the 12v line.

Fail..........

There is this myth that slapping loads of  uf about has to be good, because its like magic and can store power......,
In reality it is only 'good' if it is part of a deeper understanding of EXACTLY WHAT a capacitor does and WHY it is there.

An example.....

I had a 'friend'  nosing at one of my rig power supplies,  his analysis was I had  useless capacitors, " no need to have .1uF capacitors across electrolytics, becasue 300uF is far bigger for storing power that it 'swamps' the .1uf (yep.. ok , if I need any finger painting done.. I know who to call)

Considering a Video card can pull several tens of Amps during a peak, all a shitty little ill placed capacitor on the wires is going to do  is become a potential source for power-supply ringing.....(amazing fact no 1..... a capacitor acts as SHORT until it is charged up..... the inrush is limited only by the resistance of the connections....)

thats why it is a good idea to throw in an extra network card & cheap hub then split it off,
 or re-direct the miner traffic via WIFI to a separate hub......, keeping the big traffic on a switch.

Personally I also keep a mobile phone on standby with a bluetooth network redirector setup in the controlling  SBC, should it loose connectivity via cable/WIFI....

Will the seller eventually have enough bitcoins so that he can influence the price of bitcoin?



None......

You just control an exchange like Mtgox... force the price up, then when it comes crashing down, cut everyones access to trading.

Hello,

I currently use powered risers with capacitors for my mining rigs, but now I heard that those risers are a fire hazard. Is this true? If yes - how can I remove them? I didn't care about capacitors, I just bought powered risers and recognized later, that they were a little different.

I would be glad if someone can help me.



Please supply a picture of one of the following:
  • Mother
  • Sister
  • Girlfriend

Plenty on ebay.
Just seen ones selling for an eye-watering £275 GBP on eBay.  Shocked
Even if it was £50, I'd have my doubts it would mine out that amount to pay for itself.

... Looks like they're now going for about $300+ for 300MHash/sec or about $1/MHash/sec (on Ebay) ...

... if you get a BFL device for $300 you get 5000 MHash/sec,  they're going for $3000-$4000 for people with the actual device, and $500+ for people with pre-orders (also on EBay) ...

... or you could go for a 28nm FPGA technology (http://www.raspberrycoins.com) which delivers 2000MHash/sec for $1K, and after you're done with mining, you can repurpose the FPGA for other uses ....

STOP trying to SHILL that crap in here, this is NOT for advertising ripoffs..... the ROI is a PACK of lies, which I debunked HERE:

256  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Should I sell me 5ghz asic or mine with it? on: June 25, 2013, 12:12:44 AM
obvious sell, while there are still suckers out there that don't understand how difficulty works, and/or hobbyists with too much money on their hands

difficulty - it did just what i said it would, dropped for a few days (ppl taking GPUs offline) then jumped back up, as a bunch of fools bring their... err, well, things like that Jalapeno online.  it's boggling to me how someone would pay $2000 for one of those


There are people that will pay tens of thousands for  "Mary" or "Jesus" in floor tiles or bread ... do you think stupidity only extends as far as the religious....
Oh wait.. Bitcoin mining IS a religion.....
257  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: Question about ATX PSU on: June 24, 2013, 12:03:46 PM
1) and 3) are true.

What are you trying to power that uses more than the ATX standard?  A 6-pin is rated for 75W, and an 8-pin is rated for 150W. The only difference between the two? A 6-pin has 3x 12V lines, and 3 grounds. A 8-pin has 3x 12V lines, and 5 grounds.

So if you're using an 8 pin, all 12A are split over 3 of the 8 cables, giving you 4+A on each wire. They can handle that no problem, so what are you doing that pulls 4+A per wire?

Actually only 1 is  reliably true......
Some ATX power supplies split out the 12V into multiple circuits but only one power section, whilst other have a separate switching & inductor sections. (only reliable way is to open it up and see how the cables are clumped, or you could load the PSU up on one cable and measure each 12v section to see if they are separate)

If they are internally clumped together, then go ahead... an alternative is this fuck fest....

The advantages are:
  • I can re-connect the 'old' wires internally and sell the supply.
  • I can drop a couple of Ohm's, because ATX PSU connectors are only crimped not soldered
  • ATX cables are made from shite metal mixes, to save money
Ensure you use 'mains' single core 'Twin & Earth", 6-12A  to wire into the 12V, that way at 12V it is good to  120A~240A and since it is pure copper the resistance is about 20R/km@1mm2

If you REALLY have a fetish about resistance then take it to 2.5MM2 it will be about 8R/km

That SHIT they supply with ATX PSU is a metal mix and it is tin plated.
258  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Should I sell me 5ghz asic or mine with it? on: June 22, 2013, 11:45:12 PM
I have a 5ghz from BFL pay date aug 2012 underway soon the order had a bug but should by shipped anytime. Now lately I see auctions going up towards 25 btc. I only paid 130 euro for the machine. Even regretting that I didn't order much more. But no one expected the long wait don't we? More people want asics now then there can by produced.

Now the gold question should I sell me asic when I recieve it or hold it for mining? Like I can look diffrent ways to it. But what you should do in mine position fair answers. Do you think it can mine more then 25 btc in its lifetime?

Congratulations... you can make 15-20 USD a day........ Slightly more than a mexican bean farmer......

K the answer is a 'couple of hours', that is the apparent maximum the service is stable under a 4GH/s load...
Given that there are miners mining with 100+ GH/s I don't think that's true. Again, what miner are you using. Do you have backup pools configured. Can you paste, PM or email the command line and/or configuration file you use for the pool. There's obviously something wrong with either your setup or the pool's setup such that it doesn't like something your mining software is doing and it'd be good to work out what it is.


Well ,
The fact is my post is clearly time stamped, from the time I posted the "yellowed" out image, to the date  & time stamp in my last post.

Restarting the software and system clears it up for a bit of time, but then it comes back straight away.
