Hey guys,

Thought it might make a nice topic to share what you have bought using bitcoin or what you have bought with your bitcoin earning.
So far I have bought:

PS4
3x 100 gram silver bars.
1x 2oz coin.
2x 1oz coins.
1x 1938 5 Mark coin (silver)

What have you bought?

The extortion levels are too damn high here, lol. 1 btc for this ? Are you sure you both didn't mean 0.01 ?

Because the world, an the internet in general is full of people ready to scam you or just waste your time. One must always be careful especially when things seem too good to be true.

yeah, possibly a honeypot

Haha, thought you were looking for osmeone to build you a swimming pool!  Haha, was thinking "damn.... that's some serious coin".

Never say never.

If Bitcoin is success, in 20 years it might happen.

This thread maybe needs more moderation. No one's answering and there's prolly a couple people working on the same stuff.

Would like to have private pool setup on my server so that my friends and I can mine there.
preferably Zetacoin (ZET), TEKcoin (TEK), or Joulecoin (XJO).  How much would it cost to get something like this done?

hello


Something very strange happened to my 6 month old Corsair AX 860 PSU
I'm mining steady since months with no problem @ 1830kH/735W av

I've got 3 undervolted + a little overclocked sapphire 7950
with one mobo Asrock970 extreme4 + normal PPCIe risers

But one morning i woke up and the rig was unpowered !

I tried to restart several times but the miner doesn't want to
Sometimes it switch on, worked maybe 1 sec and then off ...
But all the rest seems working

When i disconnected the power cable from the ATX 24 PIN cable from the PSU  
it was like "glued" ... i finally managed to unplug it





I don't understand what happened ...

After some investigations, i've noticed that this kind of problem may come when
too much power is taken from the mother board PCIe ports, but normally mine
can handle 3 x 7950 with no problem ...

example of a typical burned mobo




I noticed everytimes this happens, this is on the mobo side ...
Not on the PSU side connectors like me, does it means something ?


3 days before i had 1s instant down/restart of the whole house mains because of the bad weather
fortunately nothing in my equipments was damaged and the miner restarted without any problem
I think house mains power problems would damage differently the equipment, and i have a APC power surge protector on the miner...

Maybe, the only mistake i made is to forget a common ground for GPUs, PSU an mobo as i got a plastic/wood open case...
 
Maybe some "conductive" dust like metal (f*ck knows why it's here) created some dangerous connections between electronic parts and have made something ... but i haven't noticed anything like this
and but i don't really trust it ...

Or maybe it is a issue due to software, because it can ask the graphic cards to work more than expected
(cgminer, trixx, drivers ?)

One day before, i've just maid a fresh reinstall of SKD and catalyst cause i lost a litttle from my "normal" perfomances ( it worked - normal performances were back ) after a break of one month mining.
And also i tested some new versions of cg miner but i decided to not use them because of no change of perfs or not working at all ... (last version for ex asked me "waiting for a usb hotpug" ??)
 
So i re ordered a PSU + some powered risers, and do a common grounding, but the mystery is still here ... do you have any ideas of what happens ?

thanks

I'd like to do it too

As I think I have much more trust attached to my account than you, I'd like to be paid in advance too or in escrow

There is rough support for that now.

Unfortunately it cannot be that simple for a variety of reasons, instead I decided to go with a 2 step process. First the person submits his public key, then when creating the N-M escrow the guy selects whether he wants to encrypt a given email with GPG or not. If a key related to that email was uploaded earlier, it will succeed (or should succeed if there is some bug).

Testers are welcome.

Oh, cool - I totally missed the RSS feed (I kept looking through SoundCloud wondering which freakin' button I was missing). That seems to be working well, and it keeps it all in WinAmp, which is nice. Thanks!


(-But Andreas was near a bunch of chickens, right? I didn't mishear that? I'm not crazy?)

Hey steelboy, let me know if this succeeds. I still believe it's impossible to edit curved text AFTER it's curved, but if someone figures it out, kudos.

Don't feed them?
