\ I've seen this website. Not sure how legit they are... anyone know? They seem to have pretty expensive electronics for absurdly low prices. I'm skeptical. I suspect - based mostly on the vagueness of the descriptions and the prices - that they're full of BS. Alibaba.com is basically a marketplace where a whole bunch of different companies can list their products and services, it doesn't do that much in the way of checking, and some of them have most likely just grabbed a big list of components and created entries for them all regardless of whether they can actually obtain them in the hope that they can source them if someone is willing to pay them money. Then of course there's fake components and outright scammers... Alibaba used to be rife with scammers and fraud, but they have worked hard to improve that, by validating sellers and offering built-in escrow via Escrow.com. However, just because something is listed does not mean that it is available, or even that it is available at that price. You can't buy anything directly like eBay, as far as i can tell, you must contact the seller to arrange it. |

i just can't confirm anything until the investigation has completed for me it's now a legal matter that is out of my hands now and i am restricted in what i say here.
Because of sealed court orders, or because of your lawyer's recommendation? |

Bitcoin shareholders, your assets are in the hands of this monstrosity. Do you want that to change?
No, I do not want it to change. Deepbit is an excellent community asset, and if you don't know why then you can go pound sand. While p2pool is the future, the free market does not support your attempt to rip away power based on your own whims, when such power was gained through stability, honesty, and trust in the fact that stats aren't being fudged to line their pockets. Other relevant reasons have been quoted by posters before me, read them - they are accurate. |

Again: if you don't upgrade and are a solo miner, pool operator, or p2pool user you will almost certainly waste time hashing bad blocks after April 1. This only applies when you include transactions generated by other people (because the old client will not be able to fully verify them). If you think this statement is incorrect, then please elaborate (with technical details). Why aren't you including transactions from others? Hmmm... |

I did find some nice atx style redundant DC units - if it just has a standard atx we should be in business. Waiting on a quote.
I'd be interested in what you found. As you noted, the conversions back and forth between AC and DC have fairly substantial losses, but I have never been able to find a cost effective DC-DC converter. I have an extremely powerful 48VDC power source, and that would be perfect if I could find sufficiently powerful DC-DC converter that doesn't cost too much. |

You can try VirWoX but you will be paying a premium. EDIT: when you say you have a few credit/debit cards, those are your cards, right?  I couldnīt do more than 100 lindensollars before getting blocked by risk API So to confirm, Dwolla works with debit but not credit cards right Dwolla only works with ACH payments (direct bank account link). |

Currently there is no one managing the order! If you have any suggestions feel free to post!
Bottom line Zhang doesn't want to deal will multiple small orders anymore! We need to find a way were its gonna be easier for him to handle such bulk order, in terms of receiving funds and shipping!
Are you sure? I think he just didn't want to start another batch unless there were at least 30 to build all at once, I don't think he mentioned shipping being an issue. It would be good to ask him though. |

LOL & thanks!
I wasn't clear - by "this" , I meant the mini rig
the single is very straightforward.
In that case speculation only, since it only exists on paper. If I were to go out on a limb, I might assume they are using a standard ATX PSU, which you may be able to replace with a properly sized DC-DC converter. But at such high wattage, it would not likely be cost effective. However, you might be able to drive it with 12v directly, in which case I would assume it to be between 1200 and 1400 watts DC. |

Excellent summary, TheSeven. Soon wondermine will apparently be producing his nanominer, and the projected sale price according to him fits in nicely.

So epic. For those of you that can't figure it out, the little square white box on top of the computer tower with a single USB plugged into it is what is running the whole show. |

Is this a new development, as in this is the first time amd ever release drivers, or is this just an "update"?
An update, and one that won't work for us as the drivers do not appear to support the GPU compute operations needed for bitcoin mining. |

That is interesting nelisky, did you maybe give your IP a long time ago to be one of the IPs to add for people trying to connect without IRC or whatever? That would seem to give credence to the botnet theory as IRC activity might get some attention.
Not really. It hasn't been up that long, but I guess it is easy for it to get "harvested" into a botnet list of usable IPs, I guess. Run Luke-jr's patch to log IPs, perhaps that will give you insight as to where the blocks are coming from. |

Not this way.
The people give the authority to investigate crimes to the Police. They still must abide by due process. An entity simply making themselves final arbiter without due process is tyranny.
It isn't illegal. While I do agree that they are going about it in a somewhat heavy handed manner (requiring verification/AML) and generally botching the process, I support the effort to trace back where the coins came from. It is obvious that the perp is doing a very good job of disposing of his the stolen coins effectively, but all criminals slip up somewhere, and maybe the gox will be the one to point out who it is. |

I tried to buy GirlScout cookies with Bitcoins but they wouldn't take them. Have I been scammed?
Bought from the wrong person. Ask gabbynot if she has any left. |

Considering ngzhang had about 100 FPGAs in his room mining at about 380 gigahash,
You made me LOL.  |

In case you are wondering where you stand, I compiled everything then wrote code to put it in a nice neat forum table: Thanks for that. Folks if your name is in the list as not showing received, and you have since gotten some, please update here so the table can be edited to reflect that. |

I have bitcoin installed on windows XP 32 bits without a problem. And it works. I should add that it's not the very last version, so maybe there is an issue with the latest on Windows XP.
Or you have a corrupted HDD or a lot of fragmented files. I had an HDD die from running Bitcoin on Windows 7. Fragmentation killed it.
Windows 7 defrags on a schedule every Wednesday at 1AM local time. It also has some mods to the write process that reduces initial fragmentation. In short, I'm pretty sure your drive was about to die and the excessive number of seek ops pushed it over the edge. |
