A Mac is not secure enought. Stop. Linux is not secure enought. You need a dedicated pc if you run serious money into bitcoin. Think at the Swiss researcher that got 10000btc stolen from his Linux pc. About the website, what makes you sure that its not a dinamic page done to report back the private keys only once every 1000 views?

Mac are not that safe to hold a good amount of bitcoins.
How is mac not safe to hold a good amount of bitcoins? I never had an issue. And it is alot better than windows. If you really are a programmer you know that. And don't start saying silly stuff like "no, there are no viruses around for Mac". My workstation is a Mac, btw.

Mac are not that safe to hold a good amount of bitcoins. Printing a wallet from a website is the stupidest idea I've ever heared of.

You're doing it right now by not using your BFL account. You're hoping some people won't notice the BFL affiliation. And you're right. Some people don't know.
Again, you seem to have trouble with reality. You have absolutely no idea as to what my motivations are, so quit spewing your BS everywhere. Please, just stop being an idiot for 24 hours, see if you are capable of that. I seriously want to see if you can go 24 hours without putting fingers to keyboard to make a proclamation about something you have absolutely no clue about. If BFL was quoted on a stock exchange I would short you. Seriously guys, how can you go on this way?

The more these guys pop up, the more i think to have done the right choose.
Think at what could happen in 2/3 weeks of mining without any competition except these 50Th/s tom is releasing.

Do not connect 10000$ of equipment to a single power supply, please. Shit happens.
|
|
|
It's already in the price.
Markets are always ahead of you.
This. So, sell on news? This is your though?
|
|

How is that twisting the announcement? That is the number they released, am I suppose to just pull numbers out of my ass? Fine, the Avalon will use 900w and hash at 800 MH/s, hows that? What did I twist for bASIC? Tom still hasn't released numbers and he's suppose to ship in a couple weeks.
Where can I bet that he will ship at most 1 week later than you or better? Can you STOP?

They are both for power, BFL stated. Just in case your computer isn't able to supply enought power trough one single USB port.

Avalon is on an ancient 110nm technology while the BFL chip is the most advanced bitcoin mining ASIC in on the planet by several orders of magnitude, performance is 7x better than Avalon and the release date is 2 months prior to Avalon... yeah, exactly the same!
I suggest you read up on the definition of Orders of magnitudeOr... I suggest you look up the term vernacular before you try to educate me with grade school trolling. I'll give you a freebie, too: My use of "ancient" isn't technically accurate either. You might also want to look up hyperbole since you are unfamiliar with both it and "vernacular". They are useful words that you should have learned in grade school. Both of these lessons are free of charge, the next one will cost you though. PS - You should have a period after "magnitude" above. (Something else you should have learned in grade school.) Ah, gotcha. You're just making things up, like that 7x performance increase and the 2 months prior shipping date. I guess the reality is Avalon is faster and will ship sooner. Thanks for clearing that up. Lol, this is even possible.

As of now there is an hard limit of 5000 transactions per second. I don't know how the network would react to it
But it think you just found the right way to hit a p2p network with a ddos.

I'm also starting to feel scared for you, Tom.
Not only for the ASICs. But for the wall of FPGA hardware you have.

i'm working on a solar powered idea but it wouldn't be a 'farm' since i won't have a ton of them, but running these things for free would just be fantastic
It's a cool project but it's not free since you have to pay for the solar panels, batteries, inverter. Go for it if you think you can produce electricity at a cheaper cost than you pay for it. For myself, I don't think I can beat $0.055/kWh. Plus, you need the sun. Quite rare over here.

I have the 860watt version of this PSU in my computer, it's "probably the best psu ever" according to anandtech: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5464/seasonic-platinum-series-860wSince I need to have my computer on to mine I will use the computers power supply to power the bASIC's of course, but I would need really long molex power cables (want to have boards around 1.5meter from computer), any ideas where they sell meter long of those or I need to make them myself? I don't know that (you could really easly do that yourself, just be sure you take great cables). A sidenote: tension decreases with the distances of the wire. So if you have a 10 meter long wire and you start at 12V, you might arrive at 11V at the other side. I would be sure that i did it right before risking to damage Xk$ of mining device.

Anyway yes, the thing should run at 12V. From the ali specs: +3.3V@25A, +5V@25A, +12V@83A, -12V@0.5A, +5VSB@3A The only way to get 1000W out of there is to multiply 12*83. It will certanly not be 5V or 3.3V.

Do we have to register to see the images? Seriously?

It's a sort of fiat vs bitcoin. Fiat thinks to be shiny and better than bitcoin, truth is that there is a growing number of guys thinking the opposite. Newspapers cannot understand why their secolar business is going down in just under a decade, and push the governments to help them.
Google will simply cut them off if they don't find any good agreement google side.

FPGAs chips will still be worth a lot!
