I will sell 15BTC for MB payment for 225€

Payment to MB -> I'll send the Bitcoins.

Why does everyone who has access to huge amounts of computing power seem to believe that processors at idle use the same amount of power as processors at full load?


Makes me wonder how they climbed up the ladder in their company to have been given access to them in the first place.

i never said that nor make implication of such!

I don't have to pay the electricity bill. Leased servers, you know.

a single overclocked 5830 can get over 300 mhash/s

So i'm guessing 300mhash/s takes a year to make even 200€?


No it'll be much less than a year. But yea CPU mining is pointless unless you have free electricity. And even then the returns are still small...

Well, in this case the cpu cycles would be "free", it's just matter of setting them up (Any pooler has API for adding new worker?).

What kind of revenue can one expect with 300mhash/s per month nowadays?

Roughly $150-$200 a month depending on market fluctuations.

Thank you Smiley

So that would mean 1.5$ per node per month, with luck.

I guess not really worth the effort to setup all nodes with miner, even tho it does not add any extra costs for me to do so.

It's basically a massive waste of electricity between the power being sucked down by the processors and the air conditioning that you need to cool down the place.  Unless you live somewhere where it's freezing cold right now and could make some use of all that heat I don't think it makes sense to run 100 computers at full throttle (likely ~20000 watts) to generate the same amount of bitcoins as a single 300 watt video card.

BTW, people have been fired and arrested before for using work computers for distributed computing so definitely make sure your company is actually OK with this.

These nodes are at a DC and utilized for hosting, but their idle CPU cycles are going 100% to waste Smiley Seriously, if i swapped all of them to ATOMs no one would notice - that's how little those nodes needs CPU. It's all network, ram and storage i/o.

But you are right, it's probably not worth it even to set it all up.

I do however happen to have about 10 un-used computers with atleast 1xPCI-E x16 lying around ... But what is worth say 6870 or 5870 in BTC made in say slush's pool per week right now?

We got over 100 Core2Duo servers with CPU >80% idle, and a few Core2Quad xeons with CPUs idle too.

Are they any worth on mining?

Quick estimates based on testing on a few servers:
 - Core2Quad ~6000-8800khash/s
 - Core2Duo ~2500khash/s

I've been considering this for a long time but never had gotten around to it, until finally today reading up on pooled mining etc. i gave it a try Smiley

So if we put 100 Core2Duo nodes crunching, worth anything?
Quick calc: 100*2500/1000=250Mhash/s

Are CPUs really THAT slow on this type of thing? Someone claimed 2x5830 can do 300Mhash/s, so is it really so that putting these 100 nodes crunching would be able to just barely crank out 2x5830 hashes? :O

i'm using jgarzik's and compared 4way to default algos too.
390  Other / Obsolete (selling) / BitTorrent Seedbxes - 100Mbps Unmetered - very LOW rates on: June 11, 2011, 11:58:26 PM
We decided to see how BTC is going on and give out a few accounts for low BTC rates! Smiley

Pulsed Media provides one of the easiest to use, highest performing seedboxes in the market, with heavy emphasis on easy to use GUI with a desktop client option!

This is a once off thing for now, and "sales" will be limited to just few (no matter for chosen term and plan). The lower end choices are higher priced due to the handling, and 12months options are extremely cheap.
Support can be reached via e-mail, you can reg client portal and we can input you product etc. on our regular billing, so you can get support the normal way, and renew at end of term via normal payment (PP, MB, SEPA zone Wiretransfer)

100Mbps Unmetered Offerings
Our 2009+ 100Mbps Unmetered series is splendid value for money!

Starter: 20Mbps Upstream, 70Gb Storage, 250Mb rTorrent RAM.
2BTC - 3months, 3BTC - 6months, 5BTC - 12months

Small: 100Mbps Upstream, 115Gb Storage, 250Mb rTorrent RAM.
3BTC - 3months, 5BTC - 6months, 7BTC - 12months

Medium: 100Mbps Upstream, 250Gb Storage, 500Mb rTorrent RAM
4BTC - 3months, 7BTC - 6months, 9BTC - 12months

Large: 100Mbps Upstream, 500Gb Storage, 1000Mb rTorrent RAM
3BTC - 1month, 7BTC - 3months, 12BTC - 6months, 17BTC - 12months

PM me for payment info, along with desired user name.

Hope the seedlist is long and those are fast peers able to take a pounding.
When given enough incentive, even the root DNS servers are in danger (most of them got taken down couple years back by a DDoS), so the list needs to be long, and those nodes need to be able to take it.

So the list should be atleast 1000 nodes, for which it doesn't incur too much damage if getting DDoS'd. Even if they are average 100Mbps nodes, or even 1GigE, it's tho still easy to drop. Freenet + Seedlist i don't see to be enough in the long term. Adding a node to connect to manually just is not an option (the same list posted here in forums could be as easily be DDoS'd).

Maybe with an list of 10,000 nodes eventually, and random trying networks with dynamic dhcp pools where it's known that there's a lot of bitcoin users (couple ISPs) as tertiary fallback. Those along with static HTTP (trusted volunteer maintained ones) and dns pointers (trusted volunteer maintained ones aswell) would proof to be enough fallbacks for not to worry.

Admittedly, this is not a problem today, but as BC grows and it's value grows, i'm very certain there's a huge interest and incentive to disrupt it for some people. People with huge resources. Think if an 5mil node botnet is used for an attack... Maybe even with just 2Mbps average outbound it would account to 10Tbit/s attack.

For now however, it's enough.

The password should be hashed in DB. It's plain stupid and ignorant not to hash them. Eventually if there's databreach and passwords are not hashed ...

It should work:
Browser -> send to server (pref SSL encrypted) -> server receives and directs to script -> script hashes (adding salt, pref static + dynamic) and saves to db or verifies from db

Security is a complex matter, but basics should be adhered to nevertheless.
393  Economy / Exchanges / Re: New Bitcoin Exchange on: July 18, 2010, 02:37:31 AM
You can't use unhashed passwords at a site, that deals with money. That's just one big mistake you just can't make if you want to make such a thing. What if someone hacks your database ? He could steal the money and BTC funded in all your users accounts.

That the variable coming to server is unhashed does not say that the DB uses unhashed pws.

The password is practically always transmitted cleartext to the server, within SSL session most of the time however, on crucial things. But it does not tell is it hashed in the database or not.

The thing about if the encryption is clientside, it's trivial for any hacker to hack as the algo can be trivially disassembled and disseminated.

It's a very bad idea to transmit the password in GET variable tho.

https://mtgox.com/users/login?username=SmokeTooMuch&password=XXXXXXX

what the fuck!?! use hashes for transmitting and saving passwords!!!!

and btw, I cant log in

sorry to say that, but until now your exchange service is just a password-ripoff service ....

Well atleast POST and not GET. (Btw, 99.9% of web services transmit password from user browser to the server clear text, no JS hashing or something before transmit)

And another thing: The spread is insane. Insanely expensive to buy BC and selling BC mediocre rate for today.

Only me seeding right now ^^

Well that's about to get fixed Wink

BTW: You could do the Bitcoin community a great service with hosting this torrent for free:
http://knightmb.dyndns.org/files/bitcoin/BitcoinBlocks.torrent

That contains all current blocks i assume? What about updates?
I could add that to our default "testing" torrents, that means it will get widely, and heavily seeded over time. Full speed for all Smiley Plus advertising for bitcoin Smiley


EDIT: wow, it sure is poorly seeded right now. getting 9k/s. I put it on one seedbox.

https://bitcoinmarket.com

Exchanged 1000BTC to ~70 USD (~50 EUR after paypal fees) a hour ago.

Current highest bid is 0.075 USD per BTC, so 995 BTC are worth 74,625 USD.
And I expect the bids to raise the next few days.

Aah, i looked there but it looked like defunct site earlier. Then it read 0.04 / 0.05
