"NSA" is not the same as "the banks." Likely the NSA doesn't really give a shit (at all) about the priorities of the banks. Most of them are probably good people who just want to protect the country. Many of them are probably like Edward Snowden -- remember where he was working?
The priority of the NSA is data collection, data mining, and systems penetration. (Not controlling the unit-of-account of our money system.)
There is the random thought that Satoshi is a group in the NSA. They get a ledger of all transactions in the economy, self selected by the very secretive. It uses their strengths, cryptography. It gives more data than fiat does. It is a daunting piece of work, it boggles the mind to think that a single individual pulled it off. |

Okay, so I just received it. Looks good, but I can't connect to the unit. No ip address information was attached. I tried 192.168.0.100 and that doesn't work. any hints from the avalon experts?
nevermind, reset the openwrt thing and rolling now. Will post photos soon. I bought a 2nd hand Avalon and couldn't get it connected. I finally did the fail-safe boot and I read the network file. The machine was set to 192.168.0.153. I thought that number seemed familiar. There was masking tape on all 6 sides of the Avalon that had "153" written on them. |

Isn't that similar to merged mining but much worse?กก That's an attack.. there's no leveling at all!
I've been watching the situation. The share pool changes every minute. The pool is at https://coinex.pw/. Register there for your worker and password, and direct your miner to stratum+tcp://stratum.coinex.pw:9944 for SHA-256 coins. It seems to put hashpower in the high profitable coins, and many people then dump the coins, bringing the buy price down and lowering the profitability. This seems to bring all the highest coins to a similar price --- it levels all the coins through the market. I did place a buy order at a fairly high value yesterday, and made BTE one of the high return coins. It was in the rotation for several hours, then someone filled my order. The share pool's scheduler responded to an order of 1,000 coins. I did not try smaller orders. |

I initiated a transaction two hours ago and it has seen 0 confirmations out of 6 necessary as yet.
Is it normal for BTE? Or is it an interference from BYC?
You can find the current block number at the block explorer. Recently, BTC had 5 TH/s of hashpower directed toward it, and the difficulty rose. Then that hashpower was removed, and block confirmations have slowed significantly. The current block rate is about 15 / day, or about 18 hours for a confirmation. Yesterday, a trial version of a sharing pool was announced. I expect this to level the hash power brought to alt coins, and for this problem to be resolved fairly soon. |

We need some hashrate to test out our auto-switching pools. Connecting URLs:
Scrypt: stratum+tcp://stratum.coinex.pw:9933
SHA256: stratum+tcp://stratum.coinex.pw:9944
Users mining via SwitchPool have a special icon at the pool hashrate table, and blocks found by SwitchPool have the same icon in the recent blocks table. Rewards for blocks found by SwitchPool are not shared with regular pool miners and vice-versa. Payout system for SwitchPools is proportional (all shares accounted until block is found).
Please be sure to have failover pools set up.
I am concerned about putting high hash rates into a coin until the difficulty rises, then abandoning it because the profitability drops. One way to handle this is to keep a small amount of hashpower pointed toward a coin that was previously mined. Do you address this concern at all? |

Does he have to present there, because he is in the US civil service?
He said he accepted an invitation. I think that is pretty literal. Although some invitations really shouldn't be turned down. I suspect it is a very great honor, and a very heavy burden. An earlier link in turn lead to a pdf for a Congressional Research Service analysis of bitcoin. I read that paper. The word choices and scenarios presented in this analysis suggests to me that they are viewing bitcoin as a disruptive technology, but not in a knee-jerk fearful manner. |

What is the difference between "hoarding" and "saving?"
I thought saving was important.

Has anyone been shipped stuff from Avalon-ASIC through the Chinese EMS courier system? I just wonder if I will have any problems getting my module, the last time I ordered modules last year they came through DHL.
I used EMS for a module to Minnesota last September. It went smoothly, although there was some special trick to getting the tracking number to work. |

I do not see a signed message that shows you have any bitcoins. |

Bytecoin, BTE, was released on April 1, 2013. This is not the same coin, it is released by someone who did not do enough homework to know the name is already used. If you want to find BTE, please see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=169559.0The real bytecoin is traded on Cryptsy and coinex. |

anybody on CoinEx?
last block 15 hrs ago??? s/b every 10 mins...
too high diff? too many miners gone?
no reply on CE Chatbox either
01:36 Central time Last block 36751 about 34 minutes ago. my client is not syncing. what is going on, does anyone know? It's been 4 hours since the last block, 36753, was found. The client shows as not synced when that happens. I'm pointing about 57 GH/s toward BTE, so there should be a minimum of 1 block / day. |

where are you located? area not exact city if you are not comfortable giving that.. maybe someone is local to you and could do an in person cash trade..i did a similar sized deal in a bank lobby for another user a few days ago
You might find someone local at https://localbitcoins.com/ |

Edited: Firewall problem on middleman; resolved.Network and routingI want to connect 2 Avalons via their LAN cables, and use the WiFi of 1 of them to connect back to the internet. In other news, I have bought a WiFi antenna on eBay. At this time, both machines are hashing away, and I am almost satisfied with how things are, but not quite totally. I cannot access the outback Avalon via the web interface. Strangely enough, it talks with the mining pool, and it can ping to the operations window I have: operator: ping -c3 192.168.0.137

You would need to replace the entire module, the sub boards are fabricated at one large board which = 1 module.
I am in the same boat as you, my 29 sub board is dead for some reason even though there is nothing burnt on it.
There is a score between pairs of sub modules on some board versions. I have used the heat sink as a support, and snapped the board at the score to remove a dead sub module pair. Now that is what I like to hear. ProfMac, since you are talking about pairs, I take it there would be 4 subs per module each containing 2 subs. So my problem would be sub 3 and mod 4 correct? I guess I have to buy someone's bad board, break it down and start swapping them out to find the good subs on the purchased "bad board". I think the modules are numbered from left to right, when the heatsink is away from you. By that designation, your sub-modules 5 & 6 are the pair. I do notice that no "diamond" pettern of connectors exists between your sub-modules 1&2. On my boards, those conductors are there, and I did not want to cut them. I can't tell from your photograph if your modules are scored between each sub-module, or between each pair. Also, on my module, the holes in the board and the heat sink only matched up if I moved the PCB 2-sub-modules width. Check your situation to see if you can get away with only dropping 1 submodule. After this is all done, move the usable sub-modules all the way to the low numbered position, and re-arrange your modules so that the under-spec module is the nighest number (3 or 4). Then, change the count in the configuration panel to 23 or 31, whichever is 1 smaller than now. |

Do you think you could have used a dermal tool to cut along the score. Snapping seems a little risky. I love Dremel tools. I was very concerned how it would turn out. That is why I placed it on the heat sink, as it is very flat and had a sharp machined edge at exactly the right place to match the score. My board snapped completely cleanly before I had depressed the unsupported end by a finger width. |
