You keep editing your posts. It is hard to respond in a normal way to this...
I said before that there is a need/demand for a print mag about bitcoin. How much I do not know. But your question about the PC gamer thing was a bit of a silly response.
His example of PC Gamer is showing that it has a huge print-copy reader base, even though it caters to those on a computer all day. Those of us on a computer all day do appreciate a physical mag to hold in our hands. |

2 things: btc.to probably isn't the best, firstbits are more reliable I would think. btc.to has a database of bitcoin addresses linked to a URL, whereas firstbits is possible to use even if the firstbits website is offline. Second thing: for the QR code if you really want it, just append /qr to the end of the btc.to address, like this: https://btc.to/444/qri wanted to make it as easy as possible. feel free to rewrite the segment including firstbits. i tried creating a firstbits thing but it gave me an error message whereas btc.to never failed me and is easily rememberd (btc to --> "Bitcoin to...") Ah yes, I forgot that firstbits won't work if there is nothing sent to the address. Probably can't expect them to be sending a satoshi to their new address just so that it shows in firstbits. |

50$ for a picture really?
Probably just pissed at a large number of unsolicited PMs. |

How many do you have? Do you accept escrow? How much is shipping to 43230? Why is your username suspiciously similar to TomatoCage's? |

Interesting, I hadn't seen those. Although they are strictly manual control though. I just edited the OP to show that the fans that I got have PWM control, which if I understand correctly will make it so that only a special signal needs to be sent to the fan instead of the fan controller actually needing to "dim" the voltage (which would require high powered transistors). |

So I found a good price on some fans, and have ordered them. They are far more loud and powerful then your average Delta screamers. Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/220832473067 (Got 8 ) To go with these, I need someone to build me a fan controller. See this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=74402.0Just the fact, ma'am: Delta PFC1212DE-PWM [ PDF link], 252 CFM, 48 watts at 12 volts DC, 5500 RPM, 66dBA (!), and 35 mmH 2O static pressure. EDIT: fixed link, sorry. |

I guess you gotta hand it to him for spreading it all over the place before announcing it.  |

Thanks, I was about to manually remove the "offenders!"
X-treme OCD, baby! They are all valid btw. Also, don't use the ones you posted since you were kind enough to post the private keys.  |

Something is most definitely wrong with your meter or your math, my friend. At that clock/voltage, you should be drawing a bit over 200 watts per card (at the wall). I have three 7970 rigs and they all draw more power at a lower core clock, lower voltage, and a lower memory clock. To top it off, they don't have hard drives either. Hell, my water cooled 7970 rig would draw more power than this. In fact...  I tried to get as close to that clock/voltage as possible (my cards aren't stable at that core/voltage combo). With your same settings but 25 Mhz lower on the core clock, I've got 512 Watts total system power consumption with 2 cards. Granted, this is on a machine with an i7 930, but this measurement was done with no CPU overclocking. All components (including the GPUs) are water cooled. Even if you're just trying to calculate the power draw of the GPUs themselves, your measurement is off somewhere. My pump draws 9 watts. My idle CPU, board, SSD, and a few power controlled fans aren't going to suck up 212 watts. Hmm, maybe it is 2 separate rigs with 1 7970 each? |

Insane Michigan government announces plan to destroy ranch livestock based on hair color and arrest hundreds of ranchers as felons What the actual fuck is this shit? Sounds like it's time to start using the Second Amendment rights and have a local militia to defend against the government. That is exactly why the amendment is there, although it is certain that the Federales would call it murder and not defense. |

I don't know if it is applicable in this case, but Dwolla has been known to fuck around with balances and statements to hide various errors on their end or to cover up fraud.

So I just ordered a pile of Delta fans, and they draw 48 watts each at 12 volts DC. I need a fan controller that will run these, and it's gotta have balls. I will be wanting a minimum of 8 channels, and up to 32 maximum.
I don't need each channel to be individually controllable, although that would be a perk. As few as 2 channels could be controlled together (100 watts per channel), or up to 8 all controlled all at once. What I want to do is run the exhaust fans at 5-10% less than the intake fans, and the exhaust and intake will be paired together. PWM/Tach would be useful because then if either an exhaust or an intake fan would fail, the controller could speed up the one that hadn't failed in order to take up the slack.
I have no clue what something like this would cost. Experts, please let me know! Ideally I would be spending less than $200...? If you can provide PWM/Tach and possibly a cheap microcontroller to interface with the host system, that would be worth more. Perhaps integration with cgminer...? (Probably getting into fairyland wishes here...)
Hardware designers, hit me up! Post your spec and a quote on a single quantity here in the thread, or by PM if you wish.
EDIT: The fans that I bought have 4-pin PWM control. Not sure how this will affect the design, but it may make it so that no power transistors etc may be needed? Just a special square wave signal of varying duty cycle, and constant 12vdc to the fan, I think.
EDIT EDIT: Minimum is 6 ports, max is 24 now.

Beautiful, looks perfect. So even the last few inches are 18AWG? I saw another user that had made his own, and it looked like he had used something a bit smaller.
Seems like a great price for those that need them - at the moment I only have 1 Single, so I don't.

Introducing the Bitcoin 100: A Kickstarter for Businesses In an attempt to get more businesses to accept Bitcoins directly as payments, lets compile a list of people who will promise to make an initial purchase wit Bitcoins. It will be a kind of Bitcoin cash mob. Once we have some decent numbers, we will contact these businesses directly about accepting Bitcoins. Initial targets are: 1. BlueNile.com Prices start at just $25 !!! 2. Newegg.com3. Memoryx.net4. Your suggestion here Please post your name, and amount you pledge to buy and from which company Pledges: User Name 1. BlueNile.com 2. Newegg.com 3. Memoryx.netMemoryDealers $50,000 $100 $1,000 Newegg is an excellent target for accepting bitcoins. They have an large selection of cheap items as well as more expensive ones. I'd be down for at least $100 bucks worth of stuff if they added bitcoins as a payment option. |

Lack of technical documentation.
I'm glad you volunteered to write the documentation, now get cracking, I expect it done by the end of the week. And it should be a cinch. The code is totally self-documenting! |

I was trying to say at current, it would take ~300 days to earn back. I know about the half in December, but didn't take it into consideration seeing how it's still more than 6+ months of an investment. Not bashing on the idea, just 1 BTC per 5Mh/s is kinda harsh.  I don't know about you, but I'll be buying all I can get my hands on if they are that cheap. |

I hate to break it to you rjk but your order is NOT considered ordering in bulk. Again, i have to order 5-10 pounds of something to sell you ONE pound. Try ordering less variety and more quantity. One pound isnt gonna get you any deals. Please keep in mind that i have to make money too. It costs me $30-60 per order and im only getting one coin in return. Im going in debt to bring you your candy. I have to hope that im able to sell it all and recover my money. I also have to pull money out of my pocket to ship to you. And hope trading my real money for coins pays off. Im not sure what you were expecting price wise but i think 1 coin per pound is more than fair.
OK cool! I agree, the amounts I initially specified are fair at the prices you said. I was trying to figure out what quantity "bulk" was, and it sounds like upwards of 10 pounds is the number. Now that I have a better idea of it, I shall be reviewing my order and increasing it in view of making it so you don't have a whole bunch of leftover candy from my order. It might take mew a few days to get more coin together, and once I have it I'll be revising my order upwards in amounts that will hopefully be nice even quantities. For the stuff that I don't want much of (1 pound or so), I'll just strike that off the order. Since I will be making the order larger, I would be glad to send half first, but it will take me a few days to get it together. |

So buy it now prices really are a ripoff then ... I still hate waiting for the auction and wasting all my day just to get sniped at the last moment  Worth the cost, big time. |
