Maybe someone can make software so we can rent out OUR hash capacity to Amazon customers.  At that 1/10 the Amazon price we can make more money then we are making now doing bitcoin.   Smiley

Sometimes 21 days. 

I have a lower price listed then any US seller with 1 bitcoin=$1 (and it is worse for bitcoin now)

I also have a lower price then any stocking seller on shopping tab of google.com

How much and was it an overseas seller?
3464  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Flexible 164Pin PCI-E PCI-Express 16x Riser Card Cable on bidding pond on: March 07, 2011, 01:58:23 AM
Yes, they both have advantages.  The old case does hold everything in place (with a screw or two)  and while it is fugly, it wont short out if i bump it.   

But a free plastic crate is.... FREE!

I personally use older cases and a single video card per when I can but those older cases are not always easy to find (they used to be!).  Now with a newer case you can not fit the card in unless it is a high end gaming rig case.  So I used one of these to allow me to use a small case I had and have the card on the side. 
3466  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Flexible 164Pin PCI-E PCI-Express 16x Riser Card Cable on bidding pond on: March 07, 2011, 01:41:08 AM
You could!  But a quick search of google shows my price is not unreasonable.  Searching ebay US sellers finds my price low as well.  If you can order from China and can wait 3 weeks you can get a much better deal.

i just run separate wallets per machine, as I only have 3 and they do not generate that often.  I then manually send to the master wallet when I generate.

My first hardware item for sale for miners.  Useful for relocating pcie card for heat or space reasons.

The price of electricity is no where near the value of the BTC yet.  Once you have the hardware on and running you are not going to turn it off if it is still profitable.  There will be no flood of gear.  Now the expansion of mining effort will slow but not as much as I would like.  More people are going to put hardware they own online as they discover bitcoin, but there may be fewer purposeful purchases of high end mining gear as the expected return falls.

You are talking about the US, here in Japan it's around 0.34$ for 1kWh, your hardware can be sold for money and, as time passes by, it will lose value. I also don't like to have something hot in my house when outside are 40°C and my air conditioner will have not only to cool the room, but also a 400W PC on.
Very true.  At that price for power I can imagine people shutting down equipment after the next two difficulty increases.
3470  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Comparing three 5870 cards on: March 06, 2011, 05:05:37 AM
The XFX 5870 doesnt have voltage control due to XFX being cheap and removing components form the VRM.

EDIT: If you are planning to buy hardware now for mining you most likely didnt understand how bitcoins work.

So now what's the correct plan in line with how bitcoins work? I'm new here and don't know it either. Huh

The return on mining is going down 40% in a few days, and will continue to go down.  If you are buying that card solely for mining it will take longer to pay off.  It will still probably pay off but it could take a while.

The sandy bridge GMA HD 3000 and 2000 have beta support for OpenCL. Someone tested the HD 2000 and posted results in the wiki, but its very slow.

Makes sense.  High speed 3d graphics have never been a strong point for Intel.

Something went wrong... Problem server?

We've been notified about this issue and we'll take a look at it shortly.

I get the same error after joining.

The jail was run by a state-granted monopoly. Doesn't sound too "private" to me.

When I can start up my own jail to compete with the one in that story, then you'll have a point. Until then, Fail.


And I do welcome the day that I could string up my own wires and compete with Comcast and the power company.

Then we have very different ideas of what private is.  Using that argument my power company is a government entity too and so is Comcast.  I agree that they are MONOPOLIES but I do not think they are non-private.

Try your luck with a privatized fire company then instead of a socialist one (like the USA and most of the world uses).  It has been done and lives and buildings we lost. 

Already private jails in the USA have led to the innocent being jailed for money.  Want to try your luck with private police?

Extraordinary claims. Can you provide sources for either of them?

Yes.

Private jails leading to kickbacks for extra convictions suicide involved:

http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/115477/20110223/kids-for-cash-judge-ciavarella-called-scumbag-by-grieving-mom.htm

'pay to spray' firefighters watch as fire burns multiple pets burned alive:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/10/04/firefighters-watch-as-hom_n_750272.html

Neither of these provide evidence for your extraordinary claims.

First, someone buying a group of corrupt judges (which is what happened here) hardly indicates a problem with the market, but rather, with the government.

Second, the fire department here was a fully government service; this has nothing to do with privately-owned municipal services.

Try again.

No point in trying again.  If a privately run jail is considered government because the government sanctioned it, then in effect all things like this are government problems using this view.  And if a buying a judge (which we both agree is what happened here) is still government problem ONLY and has no fault with the private jail that did the buying there is no point in arguing.

Yes.

Neither of those cases are talking about private, for-profit companies.

One is gov't corruption, the other is the CITY fire dept refusing service to someone who is outside city limits.

so... fail all around.

Yes, the jail was indeed a private for profit facility.  50% fail for each of us
