That's a USB3 passthrough cable, routes to a front port. Only been relatively recently that cases have been wired for internal USB3 headers. I think I see a wireless antenna hugging the side of a PCI slot.

With the Sandybridge CPUs they have an OpenCL driver but it is run by the CPU not the GPU. As has been said, Ivybridge has OpenCL capable graphics.

It's possible MTGox's own currency exchanging and transferring is under similar scrutiny to the users (AML, etc.).

Because one is floated in public and one is in private? It's basic market principles, if you blend public and privately floated bonds into one bond then you are clouding the information the public investor needs to make decisions. Each GLBSE ticker should have it's floats handled within it's given structure. The Pirate pass through bonds that have fixed sunsets are an example of a functional offering (not advocating them as investment just as properly structured). Why do privately issued bonds share the same market heading as publicly issued bonds? As much a GLBSE question as a Gigamining question.
Why would they not? If they were split, and represent the same contract, they would be worth the same (assuming rational markets), and splitting them would only cause inefficiency in the market (and a messier GLBSE portfolio).

So we are in agreement that the main advantage is slot density. Secondary advantage for newer cards is less dependance on bitcoin mining value for resale purposes.

An ASIC seller has to recover their initial investment. They aren't going to pass on all the MH/$ to the buyers, instead they will price to make it an obvious buy over existing alternatives.

http://www.computerbase.de/artikel/grafikkarten/2012/test-intel-graphics-hd-4000-und-2500/drucken/Has some decent OpenCL grunt, but I did say since it's based partly on Nvidia licensed IP that it will probably not perform well for Bitcoin purposes. Is there an OpenCL benchmark that can be used to gauge Bitcoin performance? Would save the trouble of trying to get an actual miner running. Lol whoever said around 100mhash is mad.
Intel HD4000 is hardly better than Radeon HD6450 so 20mhash is max.

Also, there are certain companies and legal structures which can bar people from joining or starting up a new one. Banking and financial regulators can bar people from participating in regulated companies. Which is one of the reasons people are willing to put their money in banks and financial institutions, that and deposit insurance. ;p Did you know you can go create another random PGP key and continue Did you know you can go create another LLC and continue after going bankrupt with your previous one? That's what I thought. DId you know that LLC's don't protect you from the FBI when you're opening up LLC's for the specific purpose to scam people? That's what I thought. http://www.youtube.com/youtubepresents?feature=inp-lt-music <-- SXSE live right now

I think she's referring to the quite change of Bitcoinica's ownership structure when saying "shady deal".

Still boggled by her unwillingness to provide an email/username. Even if they know who you are and they are playing games, the best way to call them out is to make them change hoops they want her to jump through. It would add to evidence in her favor should she pursue them through legal channels. I don't have much sympathy to Bitcoinica having to deal with such people though, their handling of their liability situation has been quite chaotic and not engendering of trust. Seems like they didn't dot their i's and cross their t's in terms of their NZ legal obligations. It is very easy to believe they have done a runner with Bitcoinica users money. I mean first the people would have to go through NZ authorities, then even if they do win judgements there is probably no money actually held by the NZ Bitcoinica entity. Legal proceedings would then have to shift to whichever countries in which reside those who have current possession of Bitcoinica funds. Unless the missing funds are in the millions I don't think the NZ police and prosecutors will be of much help once you crack the Bitcoinica egg and find no yolk. Interesting that the only person known to reside in NZ that could be in financial crimes trouble appears to be a minor (at least during the time of the questionable activity)... @ninjarobot Wow, good job. http://www.business.govt.nz/fsp/app/ui/fsp/version/searchSummaryCompanyFSP/FSP207625/4.do?noReturn=trueVery questionable, good luck getting a judge to agree that random internet users aren't retail customers but instead "knowledgeable investors". Which I assume would be the response from Bitcoinica.

Going to take quite some time to earn back that $300 price difference through power savings...

The review was about terrible ripple at 100% load, at your load you would have mediocre in spec ripple. Not likely to kill components outright but it might shave some MTBF hours off.

Can we coin a term "Dwollad" for things like this? Funny how this and the Dwolla vs Tradehill situation occurred in the ~$100K range.

Well, the performance is actually roughly in ratio to the increase in shader count and frequency. It's more of some disappointment that it didn't improve on bitcoin mining over the 5800 series. Combine that with the relatively high prices and the main reason to go GCN would be for MH per PCI-E slot density.

My impression is that AMD has left it to individual brands to decide whether to offer a 7970x2. Instead, AMD is making official GHz editions of the 7970 with tighter ASIC binning so that it draws the same power but is clocked at ~1075MHz.
Crossing my fingers that the 8000 series will launch before next year. A tweaked GCN should be quite nice.
