Because if you put the $90 into a better card you in most cases would get more. I admit if you are at a 6970 or 6990 there is no better card for just just $90 so there may be some use cases for it.

He is always ready to give you a crash after your panic buying.
Keep money in hand and be patient, withdraw your open bid orders, to help the price fall, and you will get cheap coins.

 Be afraid, be very afraid.

I don't see what's wrong with being aware of the existence of the big holders, especially those ones who are always ready to slash the market. Stop yourselves from panic buying and always being patient, you will get better chance to buy in at a cheap price.


Because slashing the market is in the interest of big BTC holders?    Huh

It is a shame, it would be nice to have stable alternatives to mybitcoin.com, something that would cost maybe 1 or 2 btc a year.

This has nothing to do with bitcoins. Admin please move this thread.
Yea, move to politics or economics.

The Fed is not broke so long as they have ink, paper and the 14'th amendment!

Wow.  A savings account where you pay (right now) $15 a month to let then use your money and you get to pay them .25 BTC per transaction above 10 transactions.  Oh, and you need to pay them 1 BTC for each telephone inquiry.

The new GSB tagline:

We make Bank of America look cheap, 1 BTC at a time.

Not too much info here yet but:

http://www.systemdiary.com/information-about-video-cards-amd-radeon-hd-7000/

As expected the 7990 is the top dog, a dual version of the 7970.

No core count or anything detailed except the expected transition to 28nm technology.

Yes. I hate the State. It is the single most powerful and pervasive tool of evil in existence.

It's a high risk investment with an extremely low risk/reward ratio. You have approximately a 30% chance of making 10X your original investment.  Any poker player would jump at the chance.

Haha I love it when bitcoiners quantify things like this.  Please explain how someone has a 30% chance of making 10x their investment.

It is impossible to quantify these things.  But there are ways we can look at it.

3049  Economy / Speculation / Re: Comparison to Apple (AAPL) shares on: July 10, 2011, 05:12:08 PM
Bitcoin is a superior investment to Apple in at least two ways.
1. Apple shares can be (and have been) diluted.
2. Apple can get sued, fined and take on debt.

BTC is not superior to Apple (and Apple is not superior to BTC).  BTC is a different category!

One is a stock, the other is an experimental currency.

Apple has huge merits, such as extreme profitability and the mother of all diversified cash piles held by a company.  They have more then $60 per share in just cash alone and more will be announced in two weeks.  Apple making more profits in phone and computer spaces then ALL of their competition combined.  

BitCoin has no real competition but it has adversaries that would make an Apple fanboy weep.

Apple is compared to Bitcoin a safe investment but Bitcoin has potential upsides that are impossible with Apple.  Apple will not and can not further multiply by 50, Bitcoin could (but probably wont).

So far a user has reported 63 mh/s as far as I know.  Now you can get a sempron 140 for $90 less then the APU?  It would be better to put that $90 into a discrete card, or upgrading to a better discrete card vs the APU currently. 

You may be able to overclock the APU to 90mh/s.

The checkout system uses $ to the end, then converts to BTC at mtgox.com rate so you can pay in BitCoins.

You're not going to gain traction operating like this in the beginning. Especially when I could go and post on Bitcoin Classifieds for free, right now. They get many times the traffic of your site, too.

It is hard to find things on Bitcoin Classifieds, that are designed for mining. We position ourselves as Advertising board for mining needs.
Our price is not so high and, in general, it was set to naturally filter sellers and their Ads, to provide buyers with best ones.

Any way, thank you for your response.

Actually your price is quite high.  $10 is way to much when others offer similar or greater levels of traffic for free.  .01 BTC would be enough of a filter to prevent most spam.

You can try post your AD here : wesellrigs.com

Maybe it will help you to sell your goods  Wink

$10 for an online ad in an undeveloped marketplace?  There are a ton of other places to sell: biddingpond.com, bitcoinharbor.com that do not charge and have real traffic.

Maybe you should try $1 or some more reasonable number.

3054  Economy / Economics / Re: My Country don't accept Dollar anymore on: July 09, 2011, 04:59:10 PM
that is logical, since the US gov basically prints more money at will.
why would anyone wants to hold the USD?
It is like holding fake money, where people can print at will.

Do tell the Chinese government that.  It seems addicted to dollars.

If only 1% of their dollar holdings were moved to bitcoins.... Shocked
They have been OFFLOADING the USD currency since 2008.
Now nobody wants to touch US treasury bonds.

I am not sure where you get your information from.  People are practically climbing into the windows of the White House to buy US treasury bonds that carry pretty low (but so far guaranteed) profit.  The US could sell more then they are now quite easily and find buyers.  

Hum... then what do you think of this info ?

http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/07/07/us-usa-treasuries-auctions-idUSTRE7666K120110707
Seems like less and less people are buying US debt

Did you read what you posted?  Not just the titles, the articles?

There is a lot of FUD in both articles.  The Reuters article has the title: "Treasury market wilts as Fed waves goodbye"
Yet only points to one less then perfect auction.  Even with the language it is easy to see through with statements like:

"This happened two weeks ago when three separate auctions "tailed" in the worst week for government debt sales since March 2010."

The worst since 15 months ago?  It's not like the worst in 10 years or something like that.  What does "tailled" mean?  It means the bidders didn't bid as much as expected.  They bid and bought. 

Do I think we can sell our debt forever?  no.  Do I think we need to manage our money better?  Of course.  Will there be inflation?  Of course.  The dollar coming to an end?  Not unless the congress critters PURPOSEFULLY fuck everything up by voluntarily defaulting on debt. 

3055  Economy / Goods / Re: [WTS] PowerColor HD6990 to the highest bidder! on: July 09, 2011, 03:36:35 PM
I bid 46 BTC subject to terms in private message. 
3056  Economy / Economics / Re: My Country don't accept Dollar anymore on: July 09, 2011, 05:41:35 AM
I love it how so many people go to the defense of the dollar Smiley. It's so nice to see so many fellow Americans in this forum, which leads me to believe that Bitcoin is once again a purely American invention.(Not Japanese, *interesting cause USA bombed them in WW2) I won't be surprised if the majority of Bitcoin millionaires turn out to be Americans who fuel the AMERICAN economy with their Bitcoin earned money.

The price of Bitcoin (and the volume traded) often rises in the night when most Americans are asleep (but not me).  HALF of my sales have been overseas even though the shipping cost is much higher.  I think about half of Bitcoiners are overseas as well. 

In this case... BitCoin: Made in Japan, tested in America.

u should just sell it on ebay : ) you're not doing the community any favors lol.
Actually I think he is if it works.  The price is in the range of what these cards sell for and it is very hard to find a 6990 in stock at less then $880.  I have been trying for weeks.

Sorry, I smelled fish when I saw 5 cents in USD.  How would he be able to sell large quantities of anything at 1/5 of the market rate?
