Just another random tweet, no credible source. Auctions will almost always fetch "above market" prices because of auction fees, seller premiums, etc. |

Many homes in the USA have their own natural gas well on the property. Uh, what? Where? Show me a picture. I have never once seen a personal natural gas well. I've toyed with the idea of a small solar setup only a couple KW, could use it for the rest of the house if I ever stopped mining, so wouldn't be a total loss or waste. |

$1.5 million?! Holy cow, I had now idea 1) forum software could be so expensive and 2) this forum was capable of raising that kind of funding. Looking forward to the unveiling!

Whats the point of the analysis until we know who the winner of that block of the auction is ? Anyways the list of the winner should be out this week. the list of winners may never actually be released Much to my disappointment. I'm also thinking that they will never disclose who the winner/s was/were due to privacy reasons. Auctions never disclose the results, no auction house ever does this. People who expected otherwise were misinformed. |

I probably will at some point. I'll have to talk with Novak tomorrow about size/power targets, firmware code, and a few other things. We've had two big jobs fall on us in the last week or so that are going to keep us busy so hopefully we'll be able to budget enough time on this to get something going soon. I'm afraid this is going to be another one of those nights where I only sleep about four hours because I can't stop rolling the numbers around in my head. It's productive, but annoying.
Depending on what we decide tomorrow could make things run quicker, or make them wait for another project or two to come to fruition. I'm a bit torn over which is the better option right now so conferring is good.
Looking forward to it. I have an old S1 that I'm still running, as well as a couple U3s, so I would be someone in your target audience. Good luck with this project, hope to have one of your boxes in my home mine soon. |

Alrighty - all new slots are now filled.
Dang, you did this before dawn where I live and all spots filled.  |

A good read for anyone running a full node. I'm going to check my PIX value when I get home (don't know my IP address off the top of my head). The incentive program looks cool, too. http://blog.bitcoinfoundation.org/bitnodes-project-2015-q1-report-peer-index-and-incentivized-full-nodes/During this quarter, I have also started the Bitnodes Incentive Program as a personal experiment to allow reachable nodes with Bitcoin address set to receive weekly incentive paid in bitcoins. The program has issued its first incentive just last week and will continue to do so until the end of this year or when we hit 10,000 reachable nodes, whichever comes first. While the program is the first of its kind, it is still far from an ideal solution but hopefully we can see some more serious discussions, e.g. #5783, from the community to look into ways to sustain more full nodes distributed across the globe. In the mean time, if you are already running a full node, you can enroll your node in the program by following the instructions in https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/nodes/incentive/. |

New article, hot off the press: http://uk.businessinsider.com/winklevoss-twins-bitcoin-will-dominate-global-finance-2015-3Interviewing the Winklevoss twins presents a unique problem: In retrospect, it can be extremely difficult to work out who said what.
In person, the 6-foot-5, 33-year-old, Olympic-rowers-turned-technology-entrepreneurs are just about distinguishable. But when speaking over a crackling, transatlantic Skype line, they are nearly impossible to tell apart.
The twins are gearing up for the launch of their latest project, a super-secure Bitcoin exchange called "Gemini," which they announced at the end of January. Created in 2008 by the anonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin is a decentralised digital currency that does away with central banks in favour of user-to-user transactions. Tyler and Cameron became involved in the sphere since first learning about it in 2012 (while partying in Ibiza, they say); they claim to own at least 1% of all Bitcoin in existence, and they have also invested heavily in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
Bitcoin is like a "child taking its first steps," Tyler says, and the arrival of "mature financial tools" won't "happen overnight." But Gemini is intended to be one of the first of these.
Gemini will be a fully regulated exchange through which ordinary members of the public — and institutions — can feel confident enough to buy and sell the digital currency without fear. Right now the world of Bitcoin is like the Wild West — exchanges come and go, often disappearing with everyone's money inside them. Gemini will be the antidote to that, the twins hope. They are touting it as the "Nasdaq of Bitcoin."
They believe the digital currency — and institutions like Gemini — will one day dominate global finance.
It's an ambitious project, and it comes amid serious teething trouble for Bitcoin. |

Hello, I have an antminer s1. It has been running fine for a few months now. While I was sleeping, I heard the miner make the beeping noise to signify that the internet was out. Decided to just deal with it afterwards. Well here I am. I restarted the device, and now it won't mine. There is a green light that blinks in one second intervals. On the mining status on in the web browser, it contains no values. Any idea on what the problem is? I tried restarting it from the browser as well. What can I try / test? Thanks for your time.
Try to restart your router & modem. Probably dns problem. When in doubt, reset everything. You could also try a factory reset on the S1 if it looks like all else is operating correctly. |

H.
The factory setting is fixed: IP 192.168.99 (if I remeber well).
Almost, it's 192.168.1.99. You need a computer on the 192.168.1.xxx network to talk with the S3. |

Hey all, can seem to find a topic where i can set up my own mining pool. e.g I take the entire block unlike P2P pool. I have a nice little collection of miners now and would like to take the risk?
Does anyone know a link?
Thanks
I think the answers given here are correct, but I felt I should point out that if you mine solo then you don't set up a pool, you can't be a pool if you're alone. All you do is run bit coin core in server mode and point your miners to yourself, but I feel the advantages to using ckpool are worth it and to not use that pool for "solo" mining would be silly for the majority of us. |

Do you have a waiting list? Seems like a good campaign and I see people who can't even make 5 tweets in a week on it, make room for an active twitter user!  |

Do people really fall for this stuff? Who would give their btc away like this?

--request-diff <arg> does not appear to function for me, where <arg> has been 1.0, 2.0, 2, 6 in my efforts to get it working. No matter what value I input the pool starts me at 1k difficulty. Would it depend on the pool I'm connecting to whether or not that command gets accepted? The difficulty auto-adjusts down after several minutes, but I would like to avoid that period of auto adjustment. Using a single nanofury usb stick. Thanks.

It is not true that every transaction need to have a fee.
I said "should" have a fee. Yes, I understand old and large value, but still, toss a fee on there, help a brother out. |

I am currently using version v0.8.6-beta is there a reason for me to upgrade to version 0.10.0? I am a little afraid that my coins may be in danger in case I fail to do it right....
Simply backup your wallet.dat file to a safe location first (which you should always do before upgrading). Your coins will be "recoverable", should anything go amiss. I need to backup my wallet.dat file every time amount of my coins is changed? Or it is just some universal id of my wallet? Every time you add a new address to your wallet you should back it up. |

HUGE block for 11PH. Where did this pool BW.COM come from? They appeared over night and have some big power. Oh and its a Chinese pool and google translate doesn't translate the page.
They are located in the same physical structures as AntPool: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=969823.0 |

I've been hanging around the last few days, posting silly questions and trying to get a handle. One of my main points of curiosity was how I could (a) buy some bitcoin and (b) spend some bitcoin. So a couple of nights ago after a *particularly* nice bottle (OK, I started into the second, so shoot me) I decided to unlimber the debit card and get purchasing...
And WOW it's a pain in the ass.
I purchased my first 0.2btc a couple weeks ago and had the same impression. I live in the USA, so I have a few more options available to me, but I still had to sign up with about 5 different exchanges before I found one that I could get btc from within an hour or two with a simple payment method (for example, I did not want to have to mail a check in and wait like a week for my btc). I ended up using BitQuick and was very happy with their service. |

Never mind the NSA, look small picture even: Airport security has never once caught or stopped a terrorist act. Not one time. As George Carlin said, all this stuff is in place just to make white people feel more comfortable.
