Even with 37C summer ambient temperatures (mind you that's 100F) My 7970s can stay cool at 60C undervolted @ 550 Mhash/s (air cooled)

It's therefore completely uneconomical to try doing this.  Whatever performance gain you get from water cooling them like that is completely offset by the complete waste of waste of water. 

Your landlord would be quite happy as well and would probably give you a hefty rent increase, not to mention how ecologically unsound it is.

My advice is, don't do it.  Go green  Cool

What are the specs and power consumption levels of that setup?

Haha I doubt bitcoins would be worth >$100 right now, but definitely not below $4 ever again, maybe even $5. The great spring stability is a great indicator since during that period the price remained stable despite the amount of bitcoins circulating increasing, telling us it will have only 1 general direction:

UP  Grin

Golden Opportunities are falling under the iron grip  Cool

I think we underestimate the devastating effect the MtGox hack had..

We understand bitcoin clearly so we knew this didn't mean bitcoin was not secure, and most here understand how a hack like this, after such explosive growth, was unavoidable and ... needed

but the to everyone else .....

I find the reasoning quite odd.  Why would bitcoins be worth over $100 when there is such a small spending infrastructure in place for bitcoin?

I would expect it to be a ways bit higher than it is now but definitely not a huge difference like that.

How long typically would it take to break even on one of these bonds?
285  Economy / Services / Re: GPUMAX | The Bitcoin Mining Marketplace on: June 12, 2012, 06:59:45 PM
Way too many people using this service now.  Leased work finishes way too fast for it to be viable as a primary income source, unlike how it used to be

EDIT: And by income source I mean mining income.. definitely not that feasible to mine for a living  Grin

WTF GLBSE is using a Department of Homeland Security honeypot as a reverse proxy?
Should I lol?

Me, being a former hacker, would say that you should lol  Grin
287  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin dirty money detection tools on: June 12, 2012, 06:56:30 PM
There is no such thing as dirty bitcoins.

Mtgox taints stolen ones and freezes your account if you have some in possession.  I'm sure this is what he's trying to avoid.

But as I know I don't believe any exist publicly.
288  Economy / Speculation / Re: HFT bot on gox ? on: June 12, 2012, 06:45:21 PM
bots playing... Sad what else is new? ban bots and deny volume < 1 btc...

You don't need to make a purchase limit.  You'd just need to put a limit on the number of trades within a certain time.


Yeah 25 trades a day limit sounds good to me.

Bots pay trading fees too, no?  Why do we need to limit them again?  Because it makes the chart 'look funny'?

Indeed.

Ok its too late, they won


Oh the irony...

291  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin dirty money detection tools on: June 12, 2012, 06:33:11 PM

If someone sells or sends me BTC what tools can I use to tell if they have been stolen?

Are there tools that can tell me what percentage of dirty coins I have in my wallet, or in any given address?


As MtGox is detecting and blocking transfers of stolen coins I assume these tools do exist somewhere.


I'm sure MtGox most likely programmed that tool themselves.  They simply flagged possible bitcoins coming from "thief" addresses that they designated.

The tools themselves are not public.
292  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: 7950 unlocked - supposedly on: June 12, 2012, 06:31:52 PM
Why would they want to sell a supposed 7950 with the same hardware of 7970? That's quite a waste economically if I understand it right.

Where is BFL located? Seemed like that IP was pointed towards the Netherlands.

295  Bitcoin / Mining / What happened to the mystery miner? on: June 12, 2012, 04:52:28 PM
I just checked the blockchain and the one mysterious miner that solved ~20-30 blocks a day is gone.

Was that a botnet that was somehow taken down? I'm curious.
296  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: PCI Express slot question. on: June 12, 2012, 03:49:30 PM
Yeah if you look at it, it's just like how USB 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 can mingle together just at lack of speeds.

There is one thing though- does putting a 3.0 graphics card in a 2.0 slot bottleneck it to any amount? I have only but pci-e 2.0.
297  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What happened to Bitcoins being anonymous? on: June 12, 2012, 03:46:43 PM
You can trace the IP address identified with the address being sent to.. and therefore narrow down on the location the person is at.

That's one problem I can clearly identify with this system.  Therefore it's not wise to deal with illegal things since I'm certain it's still possible for the feds to track you down via the blockchain.

It's anonymous but not at the same time.
298  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why do you use Bitcoins? on: June 12, 2012, 02:59:42 PM
I use bitcoins due to it's deflationary aspect and well thought out system of currency.  It is unlike any others and to jump into something different is quite fascinating.

Mining is another thing.  Due to its decentralization aspect I can also print my own money in this currency.  That's another factor to put in.  The people can shape the currency without any government intervention.  In this way, people have freedom to what they want with this currency.

lol did you write your bitcointalk username directly on the owners manual?  

value increased!!

LOL complete fail.

@hellhoundpro
I don't want to buy something with your username right on the manual.  And you're of course scamming.

You'll have to educate me here, are you referring to ASIC quality of the 7970?

No he's referring to the ASIC Quality of the 7990.  They're having issues with overall ASIC quality in all their upcoming and ongoing 7xxx series, as evident from the large range of different ASIC qualities of the 7970s.
