So if FPGA's are better than GPU's in every way (like ASIC's) They aren't. FPGA are much more expensive than a GPU and hash less. But they consume much much less energy. ASIC are better in everything and a LOT better |

now were forced to buy stuff we dont really want Uuhhhh the GPU/FPGA cockroaches wich cry because their investment is suddenly useless. "you" do not want, WE want asics but ton off ppl are unsatisfied with this No. The "ton of ppl" are the GPU/FPGA ppl who spent tons of money thinking "yay now i become super rich" and now are "i don't became super rich" So no, bitcoin algorithm is FINE. |

So lets say I buy one; 2nd step is to plug in to an op, system, and put a miner program on it. Then let him "mine" and I will get the bitcoins in my wallet. Am I right?
But seeing your replys, I don't understand, they just shipped the "big orders", the expensive ones, the FPGA's?
They started selling and shipping FPGA months ago. But FPGA, like GPU mining, is going to disappear once ASICs hit the market. ASICs should be shipped in some months... probably. And, as you can see, a 149$ Jalapeno with 4.5Gh/s happily kickass every FPGA or GPU. Question is: will BFL really ship ASIC? Or it is a huge huge scam? Until the first ASIC appear, we don't know. |

Oh that was in Italy. Didn't even know that. Meh, in Italy and guess what? Tons of idiocies.
Oh and "NON ERAVAMO I PIIGS, TORNEREMO ITALIA" means "We weren't PIIGS, we will be again Italy"

+1 to good girl It's a good news  |

What atlas says make sense, the problem is how he says that... A title saying "might introduce a serious change to the protocol" means nothing. The thread you opened is about BUGS in the new database system, not about the change itself. The change is fine and will greatly boost the blockchain download speed. As for bugs, well sure, the new system must be tested, but then please get a proper title Right now it seems the problem is the new protocol! |

What a fail thread. Fail is over 9000

About the free money thing I find funny that we find... well, "weird" the fact that we can create "money" and we find it disturbing and somehow wrong. It's funny because 1)that's how bitcoin work 2)central banks all around the world print billions of dollars, euros, whatelse everytime and they are perfectly fine at doing that  |

Lol
and what is this "generic gpu"? I suppose an intel chipset gpu?
|
|
|

lol I nevar gonna spend 10.000$ on Ub3r systems That is the top-tier ASIC A Jalapeno cost 150$ and a Little Single SC 650 |

+1 to what legoluman said
CPU mining is wasted time
Nvidia mining is more or less wasted time too.

OpenCL support is from the driver, if your GPU support opencl, then you are ok just by having the drivers But, in your case, i'm sorry: I'm using an intel(R) 82945G express chipset family. This "gpu" does not support OpenCL |

Oh sorry, my post wasn't clear, i was refering to this: I wonder if it could be generated from their existing blockchain (is it basically the same file?) which will presumably be pretty up-to-date. Yes i know, downloading it is very simple and straightforward, what i was speaking about was about creating the file from my blockchain, not about downloading the file via bittorrent. |

He is famous https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giordano_Bruno Giordano Bruno (Italian pronunciation: [dʒorˈdano ˈbruno]; 1548 – February 17, 1600), (Latin: Iordanus Brunus Nolanus) born Filippo Bruno, was an Italian Dominican friar, philosopher, mathematician and astronomer. His cosmological theories went beyond the Copernican model in proposing that the Sun was essentially a star, and moreover, that the universe contained an infinite number of inhabited worlds populated by other intelligent beings.[1] After the Roman Inquisition found him guilty of heresy for his pantheism, he was burned at the stake. After his death he gained considerable fame, particularly among 19th- and early 20th-century commentators who, focusing on his astronomical beliefs, regarded him as a martyr for free thought and modern scientific ideas. In the years since Bruno's execution, the Vatican has published few official statements about the matter. In 1942, Cardinal Giovanni Mercati, who discovered a number of lost documents relating to Bruno's trial, stated that the Church was perfectly justified in condemning him. On the 400th anniversary of Bruno's death, in 2000, Cardinal Angelo Sodano declared Bruno's death to be a "sad episode" but, despite his regret, he defended Bruno's prosecutors, maintaining that the Inquisitors "had the desire to serve freedom and promote the common good and did everything possible to save his life." Disgusting |

Everyone is missing the most ridiculous part of the article: The EU wants to cap MEMORY BANDWIDTH, not just power consumption. The commission wants to stop dedicated graphics cards of group G7 from going above 320 GB/s - that is in theory a memory bus at 384-bit connected to memory operating at 6667 MHz or 512-bit with 5001 MHz. This is definitely within reach for the next generation graphics cards. Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition currently has a bandwidth of 288 GB/s with a 384-bit memory bus and 6000 MHz memory. For notebooks the limit will be only 225 GB/s. No, they don't. In fact they EXEMPT cards with high memory bandwidths from this recommendation if they are in a high end system. "1.1.3. Category D desktop computers and integrated desktop computers meeting all of the following technical parameters are exempt from the requirements specified in points 1.1.1 and 1.1.2: (a) a minimum of six physical cores in the central processing unit (CPU); and (b) discrete GPU(s) providing total frame buffer bandwidths above 320 GB/s; and (c) a minimum 16GB of system memory; and (d) a PSU with a rated output power of at least 1000 W. " The whole idea of allowing politicians to determine computer specs is just ridiculous on a monumental level. /thread |

Bitcoin protocol is neither obfuscated or encrypted on packet level and it is easily blocked on ISP level. But it's obfuscated and encrypted on TOR and VPN As for what DoomDumas said, i think that iranian people are people like us but their government isn't exactly a good one |
