Haha, you're funny. If its cold storage it wont be a chip. And there is no way what the "doctor" would know what it is. There is no way you should rely on a chip for storing millions of dollars.
Either its cold storage and its not a chip or its a chip for accessing it often (not cold storage).
Not its not funny, there are many shady doctors out there that would do this. If people would start putting chips under their skins, storing digital money (not necessarly bitcoin but even bank account passwords), many mobsters would be interested in obtaining a list of these clients and then "visiting them" and then "extracting them". http://www.creditcards.com/credit-card-news/rfid-chips-convenient-but-creepy-1273.phpIt is not as secure as you think. I do not think you are understanding what i'm saying. I will clarify; You can use a chip. Sure a rfid chip could work as part of a hardware wallet thing, not on its own because anyone can read the passive reading on the chip, for a spending wallet in your everyday usage OR you can seal in a sealed capsule, the size of a grain of rice, an encrypted hash, that no one knows whats on it. Not the doctor, not anyone. Its totally hardcore, and i would not to it, but, unless you have made it known that you own millions of dollars in BTC' in which case it does not matter where you hide it, criminal could extort you, its just as secure as hiding it in your socks. Or more  |

How much you're willing to pay for them with shipping?  Click to enlargeCables are 38 cm long, 18 pin. Shipping from EU (Estonia) Cables are sold from J4bberwock for 1$ when in stock, i could give you 1.5$ each. And the bracket i don't know, a few dollars maybe? But i'm surprised you're offering, since i'm assuming shipping from overseas would make this deal impossible? |

Yeah no, thats crazy. This could work with a electronic implant that is your hardware wallet key. Otherwise hell no.
I was thinking about someone that has like hundreds or thousands of Bitcoin that wish to keep his Bitcoin safe in cold storage but still in reach for many years, as a bet that Bitcoin's market cap will eventually beat other payment processors.
You keep those until its time to retire, then take it out and cash out, live the good live.
And what if the doctor that implanted the chip has connections to some mobsters and tells them about you walking around with million dollars worth under your skin? What will happen to you then? Not very safe in my opinion. Haha, you're funny. If its cold storage it wont be a chip. And there is no way what the "doctor" would know what it is.

I need one EVGA 1300W, possible to ship in Canada ?
I would like all the cables and original box.
I pay shipping fee of course.
Exact same thing here. I pm'ed OP about this offer previously, i told him i'd be interested to pick up one or two if he end up breaking them down. I guess its not a bad idea to leave the offer here, as this offer of mine will be valid ongoingly until i get 2 of them one way or another. I have some server supplies if you're interested, check sig. We have already dealt together, thus i shall not forget that option. I'm just looking for quiet PSU atm, and that have no risk of killing me or my cat unless i wrap tons of plastic and tape around.  The two 1100w i have still work great however and i would recommend them to anyone that doesn't need quiet ATX PSU. |

The first thing I did when I moved into my last house was go around with a meter and test every outlet and light fixture in basically the way described above. I ended up drawing a map of both floors with everything labeled based on the breaker. The house had been built in at least two parts separated by multiple decades and had seen some renovations on both floors, so the wiring was fairly labyrinthine. I ended up taking a full two days rewiring in the basement because nothing made sense and looked like a drunken spiderweb.
If you do test outlets and such, make sure to write down what you find out because the layouts may not be intuitive and it's likely you or someone else will someday want to know that information.
Yes, the number on the handle is the circuit's current rating. It's best to not run more than 80% continuous load.
And i forget to point out what seemed obvious at the time; You will most likely have multiple outlets per breaker. You have very few breakers so it stand to reason, unless you only have 2 outlets in your whole place, that many of them will be linked to the same breaker. Hence lights. If you have a multimeter you could also check plugs one by one and also take note of voltage. If your voltage is not 120v but lower to 110v, your limit per breaker is even lower. |

That's a good point, make sure it's not a 15A circuit. I tend to forget those even exist, but most of the places I've lived were either built or renovated by me or my family so everything was 12AWG 20A circuits minimum. The only circuits I've ever run heavy mining on I ran myself, even in the house before everything moved to the shop. If you're on a 120V 15A circuit I'd suggest running only one of those PSUs on it and find another circuit for the other one.
I also ran an S4 on an extension cord not long ago - well, an S4+. But it was an extension cord I made myself from some nice 12AWG, and it was plugged into a 208V outlet, so...
Thanks. I took a picture of my circuit breakers. Do the numbers on them mean anything to you? One of them says 15 on the handle. If that is a 15A circuit how do I safely turn my miners off and then test the circuits to see which one that is?  Well turn off your mining rig and all the stuff that doesn't like getting killed out of nowhere. Leave a light on every outlets. Then switch them off one by one, go figure out what turned off. I think i see a 50 one in there? Wow, well i'd leave that one alone. Thats probably heating/oven/water tank or such. Anyways i can't read that but read the writting, it should say what breaker is what. Also... use air pressure or vacuum to remove some dust, geez xD |

I can sell the pcb 18-pin 0.55 btc
Thank you for the offer but unless that include shipping, i will have to decline. For 1 BTC~ i can get a whole working S5 with all components. |

You can easily buy 200gh/s for 20$ for an antminer S1 and just run it in the winter using it as a heater and you will do much better than a 3gh/s stick, but neither of these will make you much of anything.
Where can I find an ANtminer S1 for this price? Check the marketplace on this forum and make a [WTB] Post, these have been sold a lot so you might have to wait a minute to get one. You should look for a lot. I got a lot of 7 for 100$... few months back? I have pen volt modded mine and today i put a completely silent miner in one and put it next to my bed, since its starting to get a tiny bit cold. http://imgur.com/Ys7XHsq The fan is 20dB~ Consumption is 155watts atm. You'll have problem finding someone actively selling them in the marketplace but you might be able to have someone get S1 out of storage for you if you manage a buying thread. How many satoshis are you getting each day? Err let see. I have .98TeraHash multiplied by 0.009BTC Profitability or so would equal 0.00882BTC which translate to 882000 Satoshi per day! So more or less over 9000. Depending on how low you underclock them, you profitability can still raise. I run them at 1.1J/GH but you can do 0.9J/Gh at around 90-100GHs i believe. |

Everybody’s bitcoins still get where they need to go, but it could take hours for the transaction to be confirmed instead of the usual 10 minutes Ummm, why exactly would it take longer to confirm because of transaction malleability? I think someone is confused.... He is confusing this issue with the spam attack that raised the miner tx fee for sure. This malleability attack has nothing to do with that and sure a lot of transaction DOUBLE get rejected, that doesn't mean its not business as usual. |

We need to get all the vulnerabilities out of the way. 1) Are you sure that every problem has a solution? (I am talking not about bitcoin, this is generic question) 2) Why should somebody fix vunerability if you do not want to pay for fixing? 1)Yes in a way or another. There is always a way for a problem to not be a problem anymore. No matter what. 2)A bounty paid from a miner tax would not be bad. I bet a system were someone find an exploit, come up with a solution and set a bounty, submit it for vote to miners. Change get implemented, next 1000 blocks have 0.01% reward sent to bounty. So sure i would pay. But i would never pay someone who is just black mailing. For example those DDoS kid extorting small pools to pay or else they get DDoS'd. |

This's a first for me. I have two transactions that instead of showing confirmations it says these transactions are "Conflicted".
What on earth does that mean?
Thanks,
Link both TXID link of these transactions. Just out of the blue, this might just be a weird way of saying it was double spent. A TXID look like this; https://blockchain.info/tx-index/3d049c1cc0a8077e12911b7bbb75c2662a2ebf82325d0ccd2e578b545c74010dThis TXID was rejected and has now been deleted, this is probably what will happen to your unconfirmed one. |

We can request him not to repeat.. Would you like to pay also? Hell no. I welcome these kinds of attacks. People who cause TX spam or any kind of attack against the network now is a boon. We need to get all the vulnerabilities out of the way. People that find way to disrupt the network until the issue get patched should be getting security bounty rewards. |

Hi folks.
All I really want to do at this point is start using BTC. I've managed to make some payments on my desktop to some subscriptions I have, donations etc., but things just seem inconsistent somehow.
Anyway, I have about 1 BTC, and want to start accepting BTC as payment for my piano tuning and repair business (not that I have any clients currently using BTC, but hey). Man, I just don't have the technical aptitude to even understand some of what seems to be common, basic know-how in the BTC ...community (couldn't think of a better word). It could also just be brain atrophy. I'm getting older, you know?
For example: do I really have to enter my address and key manually to make a transaction? On my desktop, a QR pops up if I'm making a payment, and viola! Easy! But sometimes it looks like I have to enter my address manually - I think? Hell. I don't get it. And what the heck do I do what that long string of random words? Is that QR on my paper wallet what I use to receive BTC as payment? I printed out a few paper wallets - all of which I thought were for the same address / account / wallet (is there a difference?), but if I remember correctly, they were all different. Extra confused.
I've scoured youtube for tutorials for beginners, but even they were pretty esoteric it seems.
Any positive feedback at this point would be great. I've been struggling with this for months now...
Thank you!
Enter manually... what do you mean? Typing it down? You can just scan a QR code if your wallet allow it or copy paste the address. There is no way you should ever type down an address manually. For accepting payments in BTC' well thats cool if you have customer that use BTC. Just set an exchange rate and have people scan your QR and send you the money, check online that its properly sent.. done. The long string of word is your private key ^_^" pretty much. If they're from a proper wallet, even If you lose everything and re enter those words, you'll get your bitcoin. I invite you to ask direct questions here. Ask them in a clear way and you will get clear answer. Ask away, don't be shy. |

It's chunks of several different things all jerry-rigged together, and falls back on some of the work I did this spring and summer which led to Compac design. I don't have a PCB layout yet (I'll start on that tomorrow) and since we don't have multichip code yet it's running off an S5 controller. Mostly I wanted to prove the electronics - the basic topology and power systems - but there's definitely some improvements to be made yet. I don't expect to have a single-board prototype for at least two weeks. I need to do more testing before finishing the electronics enough to send off for a PCB, and there's still Novak's input on controls interfacing which needs to be done. I don't know how long firmware will take for full integration.
Sometime in the next few days I'll probably hook this up on a meter and get some efficiency curve estimates, but I have some stability improvements to make first.
I'm impressed, this is pretty awesome. If you're up for it, i'd invite you to take some pictures sometimes from development stages. Seeing a jury rig of parts would be pretty cool to me. But if you want to keep your trade secrets, i'm sure people will understand |

The outlet is probably rated for 15A. Whether that's 15A total or per socket I'm not sure. But 1000W and 750W on a 120V circuit is 14.6A. If you assume 90% efficiency it's 16.2A. Mind you that's at full output power. If you're not running them close to rated load, your AC draw is substantially less.
If you trust the wiring and you're not pushing the PSUs, probably okay. If it's an old crusty socket and you want to run full-tilt, not so much.
Thank you! Mind you at over 12A at the wall proper power bars (That you should be using) will notify you that the circuit is overloaded. If you're on 120v 15a breaker, you should stay at 1440w at the wall max. If you're on 220v+ you will have absolutely no problem running both of these full tilt. If they are 120v 15A, from experience mine usually trip after a while if they are running 14-15A. |

Yeah, the Spondoolies chip has potential. You can tell that from the posted specs, it's promising. Without even considering priviliged information, look at everything they've built so far and note that it's always super complex and hard to work with. I didn't want to work with Rockerbox, just like I don't want to work with SFARDS, because BGA sucks. If I can help it I'd like to stay with smaller chips that don't make routing evil. SP's new chip package appears to be smaller and less evil than the Rockerbox at least. The BM1385 looks like it'd be super easy to work with. I really like the pinout and all the integration saves a lot of hassle and additional parts. It's quite a bit closer to a chip I'd have designed myself, as far as that goes, and I'd really enjoy working with it. InnoSilicon made a darn good chip in the A1 and I want to see what they can do with new, but when PlanetCrypto talked to them about samples all they were interested in was someone to lay down a million dollars on a full batch preorder, apparently sight-unseen. Nope. Avalon hasn't said a word to me since about June and I honestly have no idea what they're doing these days. But anyways. Whoops I seem to have dropped this stats page screenshot of my 8-chip proof-of-concept hashing away at 200MHz on 650mV core.  Hopefully BM stop dicking around and sell their chips but, their communication skills in English seem very poor. Is that a prototype board with BM1384 that you already have working? Sound to be too soon to have PCB of these set up already, are you running this without a PCB? I wonder how that would look like o.o; |

Thats what i'm doing here in Canada, Québec. Electricity is dirt cheap so S1 is actually still profitable-ish. Considering that i can use those instead of electric heating for the winter. I will ROI those S1's a 3 or 4th time it seem. Have a look at this; https://i.imgur.com/Ys7XHsq.png?2Running with a super low CFM super silent fan. Its quieter than my CPU fan that i can barely hear in my PC. Next to the window, in winter, i will probably be able to run them fanless. Without a fan at 27c ambient they go 71c which feel too hot imo. |

-0.64% is real time number! amazing
Hell yeah! 3 months of only positive diff, time for a negative?  Would be very nice but i very much doubt so. There's still sadly still 1 week left and now more S7 will start getting online. The BTC price is decent. Winter is coming. I don't see much factors that would make the hashrate drop. It already seem to be spiking upward with the last graph update. Its going to start being rough profiting with our older hardware. |

VirosaGITS - I don't really care where the dead boards come from. You provide a dead board, you get a pod. I mean there's practical limits - if the board had Prisma'd and all the chips were charred or something I wouldn't take that in trade.
I probably shouldn't make the "you get a pod" guarantee since this whole project is still somewhere between "is it worth doing this" and "how do we make this happen" on the stages of project completion. So nobody move just yet.
I've been fairly annoyed by Spondoolies' engineering pretty much since I first learned about them. They really like to make things really complex, which ends up making things expensive and failure-prone (well, more potential failure points anyways, not necessarily actual failures). From a business standpoint, regarding customer service and general communication and not-being-a-dickery they've always done well. Better than any other mining manufacturer I've talked to. I don't know if we'll be able to make good use of their new chip, as there's more to consider in a design than just efficiency, but I'm not ruling it out yet.
Roger that. I will wait and when we get the go ahead, i'll see if getting some boards to you would be doable at that point. Thats rather vague comments regarding the SP chips and i'm not really "in" that circle so, i glean that there would be engineering challenge with their chip, but nothing certain yet. Meanwhile I haven't heard much about Avalon's or InnoSilicon's chips. And who know for how long Bitmain will keep their BM1385 to themselves. They aren't ultra efficient but then maybe it would be a more familiar chip to work with. It would be a shame if SP does not work out since they seemed to be the only one announcing they would be inclined to sell batches of chips SoonTM afaik. |
