2501  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Mining vs. Buying calculator? on: April 19, 2013, 05:59:35 PM
As far as I know there is no calculator for this.

But on the other hand, figuring out your profit from buying and selling coins is pretty easy.  You could also just use some of the calculators for mining, but merely change the price of BTC/USD that they use (many allow you to put it whatever value you want. )

No looks like it was hacked-hacked.  Read the third last post or so this page:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=14085.1980

What is worse is Graet seemed to have borrowed a lot of coins to cover for what he thought was a config error that caused his wallet to be drained. And that was then taken as well.

edit: last Graet post , that page linked
edit2: website was vandalized as well, as an extra kick in the head . Feel terrible for this pool owner, seems like a genuine good guy.
2503  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Ozcoin pool hacked, ~1000 BTC taken on: April 19, 2013, 04:44:02 PM
Really shitty situation. Looks like Ozcoin was hacked. Over a 1000 btc stolen:

I sneaked into BFL last night.

Wasn't easy. They have lazers and genetically engineered attack dogs.

Took a lot of work but got an actual picture of the new Mini-Rig design.  It's a little,little bit off of on the power per hash predictions, and a little larger, but it is still worth at least 300 November '12 bitcoins:

2506  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: the new gigabyte 7950 rev2.0.. best GPU miner in my opinion on: April 19, 2013, 03:25:04 PM
Yes. I'm under the impression that the rev 2 is the currently available Windforce cooler card.. i.e this guy:

http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=11830BD3894

My apologies if that's not the card; that's the model I have anyways. I'm not a 100% on this.

It has a 8/6 pin power connector and is voltage locked unlike the earlier 6+6 pin unlocked ones.
2507  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: the new gigabyte 7950 rev2.0.. best GPU miner in my opinion on: April 19, 2013, 02:46:02 PM
I have both the Sapphire and the Gigabyte rv 2. 

I prefer the Gigabyte card. It does 620 k/hashes for me while my Sapphire's do 580 currently.

Both are really good though. And tbh I have not really tweaked the Sapphire's to a great extent yet, so maybe they'll get over 600 without too much trouble.

I also really like the cooler design of the Gigabyte card though, because the lack of plastic on the top of the card makes them perfectly open for a fan above them, which can blow air right down through the cooling fins of the entire card.
2508  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: Is there any ampere requirement for Power supply on: April 19, 2013, 02:31:57 PM
If you think you will be mining with those video cards 24/7 it is a good investment to get a high-quality, 'gold' rated power supply. It'll save you power costs, have less likely chance of burning out, and even if you stop mining it's just great to have one of these things; it'll last you a very, very long time.

No great rewards with no risk.

Where exactly is the the theard? I had a reply I wanted to enter into the theard.

I wouldn't think weed is a significant part of Silk Road.

Weed is really easy to get for any person that does drugs. And it's not as easy to mail either .

I don't know if there are any stats available but would imagine weed is one of the least popular drugs to buy on the market. At least for Americans.

Rarer, hard to come by drugs are probably more popular on Silk Road in rates disproportionate to their general use. Stuff like rarer psychedelically, DMT, high-quality MDMA and all that other groovy stuff.
2512  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: Do GPU cards work fine for gaming after mining for 2 years? on: April 18, 2013, 11:45:58 PM
Generally, cards either run fine or don't run. When you degrade them or burnt them out, they generally stop working altogether, as opposed to just offering lower performance.
2513  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Complaints about Early Adopter Rewards and Premines..what if.. on: April 18, 2013, 08:33:05 PM
It's a free Internet.  Anybody can make a coin. If the coin is retarded, or set up like a scam, it will likely fail. If it serves some purpose, it will likely find a niche and succeed. We don't need to make any moral judgements or regulations or decisions about 'how things should be', IMHO. Just let it be as it is, and however it is doing is exactly how it should be doing.

As for the 'bastards with the GPU farms', it just about scale. Dude with 1 x 7950 bought at $300 has much the same profit margin potential as the dude with X x 7950 bought at $300. It's a bit ridiculous to claim you're a more legitimate miner dude just because you have a much smaller operation.
2514  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: LTC price. on: April 18, 2013, 08:13:16 PM
As I have been seeing over the last month LTC is pretty much just pegged to roughly 1/50th a BTC. I don't think there is too much independent price climbing of LTC against BTC. (Though some say it could happen)...
2515  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Toronto Bitcoin Exchange btcto.com will have LTC/PPC/NMC trading on: April 18, 2013, 08:09:27 PM
They are also offering rewards currently if you can hack their exchange.


edit: Oh hai T.B.E  . Thank you for opening your exchange. Great to see new exchanges opening up, and especially Canadian ones for myself..
2516  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: All time highest litecoin mining difficulty? on: April 18, 2013, 08:08:31 PM
I can't believe how fast the difficulty has been going up for LTC over the last month. Certainly a debbie-downer.  And don't see the rate going down, nor the price of LTC going up anytime soon. ( I hope TT is correct though..)

At this rate I'm gonna to have to start mining Devcoins in a couple of weeks Smiley !
2517  Economy / Speculation / Re: Lets say they try to make bitcoin illegal on: April 18, 2013, 07:42:42 PM
This would do wonders for price stability, so hey, it would not be bad thing.

I'm having fun and making slight profits playing the exchanges, but would not mind a bit if the only way to buy in/out BTC -=> USD was through sites like localbitcoin.
2518  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: US City with Highest Bitcoin Presence/Adoption on: April 18, 2013, 06:25:43 PM
I heard Portland. Not sure if it's accurate but that's what the word is down by the docks.
2519  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin needs to evolve - we need p2p exchanges on: April 18, 2013, 06:18:32 PM
Everybody who reads this thread should be trying to do their part and use an alternative to mtgox.

Totally agree with the need for less monopoly by mt.gox, even with or without their history of troubles.

I'm still thinking a really good new exchange will likely open in the next 6 months as well... For the person with the right resources and know how, there is an incredible profit making venture just waiting to be setup.

Sweet app, nice work... !

Btw, are there any Freicoin exchanges though? I haven't come across this coin much. ..
