I just did a Dwolla withdrawal for $8k. It is deducted from my Gox balance, praying it actually gets sent to my Dwolla!!
Lets us know if it really worked because i got an email saying all good then when i logged back in to Mt.Gox noticed the balance unchanged,
checking i found that the transfer was cancelled by Mt.Gox.

You are right it's bad but thats the gamble everyone takes. Do you want to be sure of your money earned, or do you want to buy cheaper coins later?

Only having $$ on your account is still having a bet for the success of Bitcoin an Mt.Gox!

I would not imagine they have time for payout processing right now.

Trying to withdraw now is either impossible because your funds are stolen or stupid because they are not!
I understand that they want to suspend trade like the BIG Boys! But what wankers stoping a USD transfer, your right I'm just having a punt,
but if these dickhead want to be an EXCHANGE then they should let it go stop the control.
It will be a long time before i would take Bitcoin seriously and MT.Gox just gave it a bad name...

Agree dickheads!

I just noticed that you can't transfer cash out of MtGox, understand you can't trade but to cancel cash transfers is wrong.

A few buddies and I have been talking bitcoin for the last couple days, and I finally cracked and ordered 6 Spartan 6 XC6SLX150's, opened up KiCad, and am working on a PCI-e based "Mining Cards" were calling them.  Based almost completely on the X6500 Rev. 3  from FPGA Mining (http://fpgamining.com/documentation/hardware/schematic), I'm building 3 of them to put into an old-er PC I have laying around (8 gb of RAM and 2.3 ghz quad just collecting dust atm).

Is this something anyone else would be interested in?  I'll post my KiCad Schematics in the coming days, and update how well the cards work.

Food for thought,
DarkPunk
Looks good why not use Egale CAD think it has better library support? and would you know if it's of use running OpenCL http://www.solarflare.com/Content/userfiles/documents/Altera-AOE-Acceleration-and-OpenCL.pdf
What run's the Spartan Verilog, VHDL ? Is a Spartan cost effective?

Thanks

I don't see an imperative connection between helping the poor and donating to a specific religious group.

The author is obviously a Christian, and Jesus taught to give money to the poor. He is correct about that quote: Basically, don't brag about giving, do it discreetly.
Thanks,
I was in Henan China working as an engineer at a battery company and concerned about the flow of young workers getting poisoned in an electrolyte filling room next day an earth quake killed 100's of thousand’s  Bitcoin might be way to transact in and out of China including helping a Church……..
47  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Don't let your right hand know what your left hand is doing. on: April 11, 2013, 10:50:37 AM
I think Bitcoin could help Church's
Jesus said, Don't let your right hand know what your left hand is doing

I think he ment don't make a big deal when giving to the poor Bitcoin is perfect for that.......
48  Bitcoin / Hardware / ASIC / FPGA development on: April 11, 2013, 09:40:54 AM
I been hunting thought the forum for information as to how to go about trying to design hardware.
I worked for Cadence Design Systems, and need a bit of a push in the right direction trying to get my head around how the hardware ties together.
Are there any block diagrams?
I've been looking into FPGA and ASIC's and decided that any good GPU is going to keep up with the latest FPGA's less power consumption.
So ASIC cost is the problem and then IP core is there any Verilog/VHDL around to look at?

And what about running OpenCL http://www.solarflare.com/Content/userfiles/documents/Altera-AOE-Acceleration-and-OpenCL.pdf
on a an Altera? has anyone tried this, it looks great maybe price performance is crap.
There are heaps of IP cores around and if Avalon give spec's on here device this will not be need......right?
http://www.chipestimate.com/ lots of sha 256 ip cores here,

We have Altuim designer, a SHA 256 core, Cadence InCyte, a soldering iron.......

Needed a block diagram....

Please help me to shut all the bad ideas down in my head!

It's no problem ordering a batch of bogus chips with your logo printed on it either, I've been a Microchip design partner for a few years and they do small runs with logo's printed. Photoshop is easy too!

we don't have pinout or anything like that i don't think.

here is another thread which may have some useful hints.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=161715.0


Thank you i read this, i don't understand why Avalon would install an SMT Surface Mount Tec. line would you just contract manufacture like Apple (Foxcon)?
But anyway there's no need to design an ASIC if there's one on the way. So they are working on documentation maybe they need some help?
It's not possible to design anything from the above link.
51  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: ASIC Development SHA 256 on: April 09, 2013, 08:24:02 AM
Can someone post the Avalon ASIC details i can't find any?


... Are you blind?

Everything is there except the pinout, which they may give you if you ask nicely.
Sorry buddy it's not me.... the forum on this side was is not updating??
52  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: ASIC Development SHA 256 on: April 09, 2013, 07:35:37 AM
OK where is the Avalon DATA sheet??? and reference design. Do they have there own box working?
53  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: ASIC Development SHA 256 on: April 09, 2013, 06:54:35 AM
I'am simple person, and need few block diagrams but think that a PCI card packed would be a better idea than all of the Boxes out there.
It would also transport better fit's in a post pack.


Agreed,
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=170977.0
It good, but looks like most of that thread are talking FPGA on PCI and i don't think that is going to do the job, too slow. Using an FPGA is a good idea if power is a problem but our office graphics cards are doing more work. So moving forward i think an ASIC is the only way to go.



Agreed, but were still talking about magical ASICs here.  They don't fall from the sky.  Perhaps BitSyncom will start selling singles when Avalon's 3rd batch ships?  We can dream, huh?
I don't think that there stuff works or they are sitting back testing all there boxes and not shipping them, reading the forum many have not shipped, again i don't get it how did these guys get so much money and not ship anything?? Is everyone nuts, give us the job the last chip we designed sold 8,000,000 units it was an LED driver.

I don't understand what the fuss is about
developing a SHA 256 ASIC and why many more have not already done it.
It takes millions to start making an ASIC. No matter if you design the chip, then you have to get the masks etcetc, and that means money, a lot of it.

Disagree it's not millions, but it is ~200k to get the foundry warmed up plus design charges. TSMC Shuttle service..

I been looking into this for about a week and it's been fun.
I think considering the money or bits or shit whatever it's worth a very close look funny we have our extra PC's here grinding away think they call it mining.
Another spot is www.opencores.org they also have SHA 256 .
I would go for an IP core not sure what one maybe the TSMC looked like the best speed, Multiplex < Spartan > (USB) or Ethernet.

We are also a Microchip design partner but they don't have anything with enough power.

The crypto core on opencores.org is FPGA based, your not going to break any banks there, but it's nothing a passing hobbiest can't manage either, more over, it's designed for a single SHA256 hash, you would have to write a script to pass every hash twice before moving on...

Your right FPGA is not going to do it, looked at that too slow and cost is high. I think the CAST or TSMC that runs at 500mbps?

ASIC design IP for SHA 256

Good start is to download the chip estimate software developed by Cadence.
http://www.chipestimate.com/  lookup SHA 256

http://www.chipestimate.com/ip.php?256-bit+SHA+Cryptoprocessor+Core&id=14006
This looked good the TSMC core is also available that many are working with.
We use Cadence and Altium electronic CAD, here ready for hire!!!

Thanks

The problem isn't the cores, almost any electrical design hobbiest can design a SHA256(SHA256(x)) core with the help of google and some opensource IPs, its the massive overhead that is the hurdle.  Not many here have the 6-figure bank account to make a mass order if ASICs, nor the man power to put all of them to work.

Hell, if you want to find the capitol, and are willing to sell singles, I'll buy a few, but anything beyond that takes more than most have.

Sorry missed that comment typing at the same time, agree it is expensive designing new electronics. I think that there is also a lot of BS in it and scammers it's bad for Bitcoin and the mums and dads that want a simple solution.
But the underlying code, idea looks great or fantasy!! If you have soem Hardware ideas please post I'II have a look, right no just need a block diagram. I don't think that is so hard though.
