Satoshi Nakamoto, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy chihuahua, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of Bitcoin; and had lived nearly nine-thousand years in the world with very little to distress or vex China.

Sell them and buy a BFL single.

The white slot is a regular PCI slot, not a PCIe.  It kind of looks like there may be a black PCIe 1x slot, but you'll still need an adapter to use a 16x video card with it to mine on.  Besides that, GPU mining will be dead soon.  I sure as heck wouldn't be putting any money into it right now.  On top of that, as you said, the PSU's are weak, and not made to handle a high-powered GPU like you would want to run even if you did want to start mining.

This will consolidate mining into a few hands that get that 1TH server first.
And the hundreds of miners who buy singles, and the thousands of miners buying the coffee warmers.
3905  Other / Off-topic / Re: BFL Single Received - how do you mine with it ? on: June 22, 2012, 05:37:07 PM
Did everything suggested in this thread, and everything works fine now, now I understand how the CGminer works and have no more questions regarding it. Thank you all  Smiley

Now just need to figure out why it displays 35MH less on the laptop compared to the PC, however my voltmeter shows the same wattage consumption, so maybe program error for some reason.
Might be due to network lag from using wireless instead of hardwire connection.  Of course, that is assuming you are using wireless on the laptop and hardwire on the PC.  And also, I could have no idea what I am talking about.
3906  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Vendors using multiple addresses to keep track of orders on: June 22, 2012, 05:25:04 PM
I understand why this is done, you generate a new address for every order that goes through so that you can track that order.

But am I missing something here or could you not just have the customer input their own address into a field such as when they fill out their address. Then give them the same address that you use for all customers. Then you can track each order based upon the source address as opposed to generating a bunch of new addresses.

Is this feasible?
No.

Customers generally don't know what address their coins will be coming from.

Didn't these used to be a lot cheaper?

Yes, now I have better ones with the box, including the case, extra earbuds, and documentation such as warranty and the manual. The quality of the actual headphones is also a lot better.
So they're no longer fakes?

I want to know why there is not more liquidity/volume here, ESP with all the problems that fox is suffering.
Sure would be nice... keep spreading the word!
3910  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Survey Initial Results on: June 22, 2012, 12:46:08 AM
Wow, 18.9% with graduate degrees!  That's significantly higher than the national average (around 10%).  I suppose it is to be expected, given the technical nature of Bitcoin and complexity of using it (for now), but still, it surprises me.

It's a bit disheartening to see the lack of people who have recently heard about Bitcoin.  The vast majority heard about it more than 1 year ago.  Does that mean that Bitcoin growth is slowing?

You can also check this thread

BTW, is Andrew Bitcoiner and BitcoinAdvertisers.com the same person?

If users violated the TOS they should be warned and/or blocked from using the service instead of letting them display the ads (and maybe people click on them too) but not pay them for that.
But then Andrew wouldn't be able to scam a bunch of free BTC from publishers!

Nope, they don't give confirmation.  Just send in your withdrawal request now.
Different guy here, but I did that and I haven't had a response yet. Sent an email to do a withdraw on Monday (Sent info the 14th), and it still hasn't been done. I still have the amount I requested lying in my Bitfloor account. It's Thursday now, should I wait another day or so?
Hmmm, I would.  My transfers all went through very quickly - I think in 2 days, I had the money in my account.

You guys should all be happy about this.  Crap like this happening is exactly why Bitcoin is made useful.
3914  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: BitFloor.com Rocks! on: June 21, 2012, 11:16:33 PM
I sent in a copy of my drivers license and my bank info to Bitfloor support.  Am I supposed to get a confirmation Email or something?  How do I know when my Bitfloor account is ready to withdraw to my bank acct?
Nope, they don't give confirmation.  Just send in your withdrawal request now.

hmm if BFL have this tech, why are they selling to the public when greater profits could be made by mining themselves?
at least first then sell later..?

Because mining is volatile and unsure.

Some ASIC developers, like Vlad, ARE going that route though.
3916  Economy / Marketplace / Re: ["WAIT LIST"] BFL Singles Order Date / Ship Date on: June 21, 2012, 06:33:48 PM
My payment notification (on their end) was lost in the shuffle. All is well now and when my order is ready to be shipped I will be asked if i want the single or if I want to upgrade my order. They said their inbox is flooded with ASIC emails and requests, which is no surprise. Excited for a Standalone ASIC unit now! lol
Will they be doing that with everyone?  It's a good way to ensure fairness for those who have money sitting and waiting with them... they get the first spots in line if they want to upgrade to ASICs.
3917  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [POLL] What has the most potential value density? on: June 21, 2012, 03:57:13 PM
I chose Bitcoin first, because I can't think of a better medium to exchange and store value.  I chose plutonium second, because for everything we do, we need energy, and nuclear fission is one of the best sources.  I think the worst are bank notes, because they create the illusion of objective value.

IOUs?  You don't have to look farther than this community and GLBSE, that IOUs aren't reliable.  And they are a great tool for scams, just look at the Donation of Constantine (luke-jr will be offended).

Gold?  As I said posted many times, as soon as we start mining on asteroids, gold will stop being scarce.  And this is realizable with the technology we posses today.
As soon as we start mining on asteroids?
165,000 tons of gold has been mined already... what makes you think that we could bring back enough from asteroids to make a significant increase in that number?  The payload on rockets is in the range of tens or hundreds of tons.  Even the largest airplanes can only take on 100-200 tons - I can only imagine how limited the payload would be on a private spacecraft of some sort.

Sorry, I just don't see asteroid mining as making gold non-scarce.

in fact as eddy terrel pointed out their jalepeno USB efficiency claims are NOT POSSIBLE.
Can you point me to this?

I'll buy my grandma a terabyte drive for Christmas.

No, seriously, a better startup experience is part of "easy to use" -- waiting hours for the blockchain to sync sucks.

Roger that.  Wink
