Then we should have an European News section where we are not forced to use your awkward date format  More like... 'non-US' or 'International' because US is pretty much the only country that uses this format. |

Option B) Set it to a low Intensity, and play my game at full FPS while still getting 400MH/s.
When I still used to mine, for this purpose I had one of my GPUs run on slightly more gaming-stable voltage/clocks, with the exception of the VRAM frequency that I changed every time I wanted to play games. |

I would like to know how Matonis plans to appease the forces that want to "regulate" (control, neuter) bitcoin while at the same time protecting those aspects that make bitcoin extraordinary.
Also, since the Foundation appears to have attracted people with statist, regulatory inclinations what does it say about the organization that it has now installed him as its director?
Also, given that there are many prominent people in the bitcoin community that are pro-regulation as well as very many who are rabidly anti-regulation what future paths does he see? No problem it will take care of itself? Blockchain fork? New darkhorse technology like zerocoin?
+1 The crony capitalist crowd is a huge issue. I am not 100% up-to-date on what's going on in the Bitcoin Foundation but I would like to hear Jon Matonis elaborate on this: The Bitcoin Foundation itself is in a difficult position: we all know who it's funded by, and everyone involved is publicly known. This can be a problem: in the last round of grant proposals at one point Gavin suggested someone submit a grant for a trust-free mixer service to help people make the coins in their wallet more anonymous by mixing them with a large pool of other users. I asked Gavin about that later, and he said the foundation lawyers nixed the idea because efforts to make Bitcoin users more anonymous could be seen to be aiding money laundering, especially if the foundation itself was paying for development and to run the servers. I believe the Foundation should learn from the TOR Project: https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq-abuse.html.en |

I'm glad that I haven't sold mine when it went down below $70. But it still needs to rise a bit for me to make any profit because unfortunately the last time I bought BTC is when it was @ $110 (after falling down from $130+).

Nothing is Fully Undetectable, that's a stupid concept and it is the first time I see this interpretation of FUD.
Why would the antivirus vendors release updates to their software then, huh? |

"Greed is good" (Gordon Gekko). Can you make more money out of a GPU farm than mining btc or alt coins?
Rendering services, gaming cafes...
Password recovery but you have to spend time looking for people willing to pay for it. |

What would it take to get the algo changed from SHA-256 to Scrypt?
Pretty much impossible in the foreseeable future with all the investments in single-purpose (SHA) ASICs. |

Does under/overvolting have any significant impact on the power consumption of a GPU mining rig, anyway?
Yes. It has a greater impact than just changing the clocks. A 10% decrease in voltage will decrease the power consumption by 19%. |

I suggest banning the following trolls:
greyhawk
smoothie
Goat
Why are they not banned yet?
EDIT: BCB agrees with me
Goat was already banned between October 2012 and February 2013 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=120102.0smoothie and greyhawk both used to be on my Ignore lists for a while I don't think any of them should be banned, just use the Ignore button if someone annoys you. |

Not sure you can say this is a 'socialist' policy.
It's definitely a capitalist policy where the people who currently have the most capital are making the rules.
Also, if you want to call it a socialist policy, it would seem capitalists are happy with capitalism until they're made to pay for their mistakes, then it's socialism all the way...

How do you know if something is a paid ad?
Show me someone's sig and I'll tell you  Most of the time it's easy to discern. |
|
|
|
I am wondering if all those links people put in their signature space are actually worth anything? Do you ever click on links in ads in signature space? Or do you just have the signatures turned off?
I do click on peoples' links in their signatures (usually out of curiosity) but I don't click on their paid ads' links. |

You can undervolt the same on SHA and scrypt
But then your GPU overclock is very limited. |

Some misinformation is in this thread..
I ran 3x OC'd (to 900MHz, no voltage increase, later underclocked my memory to <300MHz) HD 5850s 2 years ago on a 550W Corsair PSU without problems, I only had to decrease the overclock of my Q9300 (3GHz instead of 3.5 GHz so that it could run on standard Vcore and pull less power).
A high quality PSU can run @ 100% load (or even slightly beyond that) 24/7/365.
A decent 450W PSU is enough for a rig with a 7950, a quad core CPU, 16 GB of RAM and 4-5 HDDs.
The RAM itself draws very little power, about 2-3 watts per stick, HDDs - about 10 watts each.
At 90% load a good PSU will still be very efficient, especially if one is using 220-240VAC instead of 90-120VAC.
If it's a cheap one, even 1kW may be too little for a mid-range GPU system (don't trust everything a no-name PSU sticker says).
As for measuring the voltages of the PSU I wouldn't rely on the cheap inbuilt sensors - use your own quality multimeter to measure the +12VDC rail(s).

What can I do beside waiting for it to be confirmed?
The size of the transaction is a little over 35K. "the reference implementation will round up the transaction size to the nearest thousand bytes and then add a fee of 0.0005 BTC per thousand bytes" - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_feesYour fee paid of 0.0035 is way too low. Pay 0.018 BTC (calculated using 36K X 0.0005 BTC, which is worth under $1.50) and the transaction will likely confirm. What? I thought it was 0.0001 BTC per kB now, so in this case it should be 0.0036 BTC. |

When did it start crashing? Have you changed your drivers/SDK recently? What OS are you using?
|
|
|
|
Can you please disclose what OS, OS version, and Bitcoin version you're running?
This also happened to me once on Win7 64, but that was 2 years ago with 0.3-something. |
