Virtualbox from Oracle would also be worth checking out.
Virtualbox is a type 2 hypervisor, I.E. it won't work. I don't know if it would help you or not RJK, but since unlike it's predecessors the PCI-e standard is plug and play(unless it's different on your motherboard) isn't it just a matter of plugging the cards to the MB after it boots to avoid the boot issue and configure the VM that way? If it works it would still suck to have to reboot the system(unplugging all the but 4 cards) but if it works... why reboot the rig ever again right :p hehe
I've tried this on other platforms with mixed results. I'm not going to risk this expensive board though.  Since KVM has been brought up, Proxmox VE would be my obvious choice because it's a bare-metal debian distro with KVM already rolled in. You would have to manually edit your vm.conf files with the device ID's for the VGA passthrough, but this should be easy enough for a linux admin.
So it supports hardware passthrough out of the box? I thought even vanilla KVM needed some special configs and modules to be loaded. Also, alas, I am not a linux admin. Just a linux tinkerer. In other news, I ordered the board today to the tune of a little over a grand. It comes with a 30 day evaluation to see if it will even be compatible with my backplane, since the backplane is made by Trenton and the board is from Advantech. I guess we will see whether it works or not. |

Thanks to you all! And hope you will enjoy next week planned announcement & video as well!
What happened to the French accent in the videos  +1 Boo! Why no French accent? Cause it's harder to understand? Having both would be cool too.  |

Got an email saying mine was shipped yesterday, but tracking # isnt working  It's USPS, it usually doesn't work until it arrives, or works occasionally. Wait a day for it to plod through the system at the USPS. |

Unfortunately, on principal alone, I can not bring myself to using IRC, although feel free to let me know if Morse Code or Smoke Signals ever become fashionable again  Home phones are still very popular and that dates back nearly a century Home phones are popular? Where do you live? In a cave, or what? lol Your comment doesnt change the fact that homephones are still popular. Not "popular", but more like "laid on because of regulations". Landline phone services have minimum reliability standards mandated by the FCC, and up until recently have been required along with electricity and water to be installed into new homes. So you have this connection that has always been there, and is always on and working, which means that many people still use it. |

If you are so good at writing concise, understandable articles that are suitable for a reader to digest in one sitting - well then be my guest. Everyone will thank you for it.
I'm afraid that last sentence isn't factually correct. So you agree that you can't do much better and therefore need to STFU? |

Can anyone report how hot (as reported by cgminer) their Rev3 units run? Curious to see how they compare to the Rev2 units.
About 63 to 64 degrees C. But that's in a 90+ degrees Fahrenheit room, i.e. my $215 p.M. mining office. In fact, the [Nvidia] graphics card of the Toshiba laptop that runs CGMINER and the ZTEX miner seems to be on the fritz due to the heat and I just ordered a 17" HP laptop as a replacement - it's on sale for $699 today. How the heck do you live in there without getting heatstroke? |

You DO only need 1 ounce of gas for your airplane... There's just a caveat. The caveat is when you try to actually fucking take off.
"Sorry, my goal was to write a concise article on Bitcoin."
Edit: Factually correct statements - killing people since the birth of evorhees!
Don't be a fool. You know damn well that the keypool had 100 addresses, so the analogy would be more like "here is enough gas to get you there, but it might not be enough to get back". Or even "here is enough for a few round trips, but you will have to learn how to refuel eventually". If you are so good at writing concise, understandable articles that are suitable for a reader to digest in one sitting - well then be my guest. Everyone will thank you for it. |

I think that's how they are able to directly sell bitcoins to email now. Now bitinstant is truly instant, pay them and get coins immediately.
How is the email part relevant to a FinCEN license? Also, Charlie has been saying for a while now that they had applied for it, so maybe it was only recently approved. |

How do i put it on a table with a fan on the bottom?
Works fine, it has standoffs to keep the fan away from the table. |

I am confused, you have an additional mobo that got wet, or the one in your list??
An additional one. 2 rigs, one incomplete. I am intersted.....but let me see if anything else regarding complete rigs comes through. You have a link or picture of the set-up that is complete (knowing the cards won't come with obviously). This is pretty much the identical system with different PSUs in the pic below:  If you want a current pic let me know, it's next door in a different building. I WAY oversized the PSUs, so you could probably throw in some 5970s instead of 5870s too. But I haven't tested it like that. |

I just received three rev. 3 Singles yesterday and have unpacked and installed one of them, and the bottom fan is back! No, it's not a rev. 2 single, it has the new heat pipe-based heat sink inside, but the weird bottom fan is back now!  (I haven't taken a look at the other two Singles yet.) I think some earlier pics showed the small copper colored one still on the bottom, behind a grille - do you mean that one, or do you mean the full sized big black fan protruding from the bottom? |

3) I like the idea of simply changing your SSID to show "Bitcoins" or "UseBitcoins" or "ISupportBitcoins" or something else to that effect. Kind of free advertising for Bitcoin.
Yes, get creative, like these folks:  |

Yeah the powerful stuff does need a keyswitch as per the FDA. That's probably why it got confiscated.

I appreciate the offer.....but I have a very specific niche for this rig, and I need the physical parts.
Thanks for posting!
If you have the cards, I have the rig, with PSUs.... I'm keeping my cards for the mega-rig. The frame, mobo, PSUs, processor, RAM, and a cheap hard drive (if you want it) would be $500, although I would have to look into shipping cause the thing is bulky. It is currently running with 6 5870s on windows 7 with cgminer on GPUMAX with a slight OC. Specs: PSU 1: PC Power And Cooling Turbo-cool 1200w - http://www.pcpower.com/power-supply/turbo-cool-1200.htmlPSU 2: PC Power and Cooling Silencer 910w - http://www.pcpower.com/products/description/Silencer_910WMobo: ASRock 970 Extreme4 - http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?model=970%20extreme4Proc: AMD Sempron 145 - http://shop.amd.com/US/All/Detail/Processor/SDX145HBGMBOXMem: 2x 1GB Kingston KVR4066D3/1GR - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820134784HDD: Cheap shit seagate drive from years ago PCI-to-PCIe adapter Risers: 1x powered (goes with the PCI-to-PCIe adapter), 5x unpowered (of which 3x are x16-to-x16, and 2x are That's a currently running rig, I'd just pull the cards and ship it. Or, I can offer you the frame, proc, memory, and maybe some other PSUs if you want them, but no mobo or risers - the mobo got wet and doesn't work right. |

I can sell you a very nice rig, it will connect to 'cloud' system all over the globe and mine for you.
There is no need for expensive hardware, you just need internet connection and i will provide everything you need to control 'cloud' miners.
This rig is very profitable, it does not use much electricity compared to GPU rig. Only few thousand dollars for this one. PM me.
wtf, you are selling a botnet? Fuck you. Or, if you are selling something like a CPU miner that runs on AWS, there is no way that could be profitable. |

New VIP donator: znort987. Thanks!
(There's been 4 10+ BTC donators today!)
Wow! That is awesome:) Yes, it's awesome how people are paying for a free site. They are either insane or very kind. You just don't get it, do you? Did you know that forums exist where you have to pay just to post (SomethingAwful), and they have 150,000 users? I'd say it is certainly reasonable to donate. |

I’m in the USA and my mommy government doesn’t want me to be in control of my life (they’re illegal). Can you ship the laser in multiple parts in different packages so customs will pass it through? If yes, how much extra does it cost? I’ve already had one Dragon Laser confiscated by customs during shipping and it kind of sucks losing that much money.
I don't think lasers are illegal, are they? They just can't be sold as laser pointers if they're above a certain wattage (that these ones certainly are), and need to have suitable labeling on them. At least, that was my understanding of the situation. This power is illegal where I'm from but they may not be illegal in your country. Really? What state are you from? And "illegal" as in you need a license, or what? State does not equal country, not even in America No shit, but I know that both CornedBeefHash and copumpkin are from the USA. And these lasers are certainly not illegal to own in several states. |

How about these: http://www.amazing1.com/lasers.htm I love that site, it has all the plans available for purchase, and it's good info. If you are into glassblowing, you could create your own glass-tube carbon dioxide laser that has an invisible beam. It also burns through chunks of wood and thin metal. |
