ASICs are a good thing for Bitcoin, it's just the evolution of mining, from generalized hardware (gpu) to specialized hardware. Much much much more hashing power, much higher security.

Why does the title say WSJ (I am assuming Wall Street Journal), but there's no WSJ link?

I remember reading that on the Xeon Phi will run a version of Linux. And from it you can run things

Get a computer with 3-4 of these and run BOINC on them. Epic computing power @Home  Cheesy

Will this be of any use to us?
No

We need "float point calculations" right? I think I read it won't have many.
We need exactly 0 float point calculations. And the Xeon Phi will have a lot of float calculation power, it will have 1TFLOPs in Double Precision, all with x86 code (easier to use than opencl or cuda)

I have never herd of a co-processor before.
Never heard of a GPU too? Because a GPU is a co-processor  Cheesy

3030  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Am I missing something here? on: June 27, 2012, 06:24:21 PM
Perhaps I'm being a bit of a wally, but I'm confused.

I thought the idea of Bitcoin was to cut-out the middleman and have direct payment transfers between sender and receiver.

So why is Bit-Pay flourishing? If we use Bit-Pay the middleman is back again, taking their cut. So we're back where we started. We might as well use Paypal again???

Maybe I'm missing something here?


Because Bitcoin is still small and it's price wildly fluctuate

Bit Pay allows EVERY merchant to safely and easily accept Bitcoin without even caring about what it is and it's price, they can simply receive dollars like with normal payment system and the buyer pay with Bitcoin

Sure, the day everyone will use Bitcoin and no one will need dollars the situation will be different, but now such a thing is required.

Question should be, is it illegal to produce a ton of bitcoins then offload them for USD into your bank account. < that's what I been pondering on.
Why it should be illegal?

Of course you have to pay taxes for that, but it's legal.

I have heard that you only have to declare income on Bitcoins if you cash out. (This was in reference to US tax law.) Just a "rumor," though, and anyone who can comment further would be appreciated, though ultimately you need to talk to a lawyer and/or accountant.
If you cash out i think it's considered income tax

It's like if you receive 10.000$, doesn't matter from where they come, you have to pay tax for them of course.

Moaning is much easier than 2 so expect a tons of trolls and whiners on the forum when difficulty will start to skyrocket

People like "bawwwhhh i just spent 10k $ on GPUs and now ASICs fuck my investment. ASICs are bad for bitcoin! ban them!"
3038  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Mining without bitcoin-qt.exe? on: June 26, 2012, 09:51:01 AM
You need to run it if you want to mine with P2Pool, wich i suggest.

Or there are some pools based on it, you can mine on them without having bitcoin-qt.exe running

I said 25-30 years but it could also be 50 to 100 years. If you haven't spend your bitcoin after 100 years you would never do anyway and a bitcoin that is not spent is a bitcoin useless. Forcing people to spend a bit their bitcoin will only ease merchants to grow up and strengthen up the currency. It will also encourage the spread of the bitcoin worldwide.
No.

Stop trying to find fail solutions to an INEXISTENT problem
