Any interesting ideas?
sell more real world things. i don't care what it is, just that is is something, that gets the economy running.
if you can't buy anything with bitcoins the economy will crash.

Hi,

Thank you for the replies, I have to go with what I can afford.

How does the ATI Radeon 5670 1GB DDR5 PCI-E sound?

Will it be ok to use it and do I still use the same bitcoin-miner or do I need to use something else?

Thank you,

Hamburger
the 1GB ram is use less for mining. PCI-E is also. it is not a IO intensive application. but a calculation intensive one.
but else its fine. Smiley and you can use it for gaming too.

Human Nature and true Communism are mutually exclusive.  They cannot exist together.

just deal with it.

thats communism's new slogan.
migth be but communism is no more evil then capitalism. Tongue 

Thats because communism ultimately is based off capitalism. The elites at the top are plundering even worse than capitalists.
no! wrong thats the capitalist view of communism Tongue communism is freedom, where no people are getting steped on.
the way it was implementet in russia was wrong, simply.
wrong! that you we humans are different from animals, we learn from our mistakes, and adapt. human nature can be changed.

I don't have an older copy.
I am running a mac so i don't have an exe file
How do i run a -rescan on a mac version?

Any other ideas?

If my transaction data is there shouldn't I still be able to recover it?


open  terminal(or the some thing like that)
cd the directory with bitcoin in it.
run bitcoin -rescan.
wait.

Locked out of the FPGA development thread due to the new 50 post restriction.

I mentioned in the main FPGA development thread (by fpgaminer) that I have coded an unrolled sha256 using additional pipelining and was asked about resource usage.  I am now compiling with the subscription edition Quartus II v11.0 with an evaluation license.  The resource usage is around 44K LE in a Stratix IV (EP4SE530H40C2) for a single core and the clock rate achieved is 240MHz.  This device should fit 4 SHA256 pairs with a hash rate approaching 1GH/s.  The EP4SE820 should be capable of 2GH/s.  I have found a system that uses 20 of these on a single card.  Yes this would be expensive to buy (>$200K I assume) but much smaller size and less power usage / heat than a cluster of computers running 6990s, maybe as low as 1-2kW total?

As for the cheaper Cyclone IV (EP4CE115F29I7), resource usage is 62K LE (38K combinational functions, 44K registers, it seems Cyclone cannot combine them effectively) and clock rate is 134MHz.  A single SHA256 pair with the additional pipelining would struggle to fit in this device, however I have another version which uses just the precalculation of H + K + W to improve clock rate, which will be smaller.  I have found a card with 27 Cyclone IIIs, wonder how much that would cost...

Interested to hear what other people have achieved in terms of clock rate and resource usage.

$200k for 1 GH/s? That's a deal right there..
no for 20GH/s, and very low power usage.

So $200k for 20 GH/s.. Assuming that BTCUSD stayed above 15, it would only take a year to get your money back.
but after that you will get very rich Smiley and with nearly no power usage, means you dont have to pay for getting rich

think its the same here: you need 50 posts to get any influence.

Half Joking,


The forum should simply not be THE forum, but A forum.

Move it to some cluelessDomain.net other than bitcoin.org


then go make your own Smiley feel free.

NVIDIA cards suck for mining, but is a win for gaming. Smiley
use the ATI 6xxx cards instead Smiley

if you aks really nicely, you might get on the white list Smiley

or else you can only post here until you reaches 50 post Tongue

it sucks? yes, but it necessarily.

white list? i dont like special treatment.

you have <200 posts, and you have been a member for almost 2 months. how can you expect someone to talk to newbies for 2 weeks? this is the generation of instant gratification.

p.s. i love denmark.


--- there are much better ways of weeding out trolls. its rather obvious this system was put in hastily. to the mods: a stitch in time saves nine. just like your mommies used to say. put some effort into it, because you've just upset a lot of new guys. or maybe you dont want to grow? who knows.
i cant whitelist anyone, only mods can i think.

btw. love denamrk too! live there Smiley

Thank you both. Indeed, it took just some time... Smiley
your nexts transactions will be alot faster because you now have downloaded the block chain Smiley
2556  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Sent BTCs not receiving? on: June 11, 2011, 09:37:42 PM
you need ~130130 blocks before your client start working Smiley you will get your btc, your client just have not seen them yet Smiley

just wait, they will show Cheesy

2559  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BITCOINS: from A-Z.... on: June 09, 2011, 08:12:12 PM
it can't be that technily.
1. download client.
2. buy coin from and exchange(mtgox)
2.1 make a account on the site
2.2 transfer fiat money
2.3 buy btc
3. transfer btc from exchange to local client.
4. trade bitcoin, and use it as payment.
2560  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Btcdeals - is having a 8gb microSD card for 0.88 BTC on: June 09, 2011, 04:37:46 PM
an 8gb microsd card for .88 btc seems kinda pricey. I bought some 8gb class 6 microsd cards from deal extreme years ago for the equivalent of about 0.25 btc each.
in little denmark where i come from they costs around 1BTC ~ 30USD ~ 150DKK
