Are you sure you ran a 980x on the Foxconn OEM board instead of something like a i7 920?
OEM socket 1366 boards in general never ship with high end extreme-series cpus
and in most cases cannot even be BIOS flashed to support 6-core i7s.

Well you as the seller define the price. No. The price is where a willing buyer and a willing seller meet. As with eBay, you can post a high starting bid, then sit there and watch your item get zero bids. That's not a price. If it's a rare or useful/limited commodity and all sellers & producers agree to sell it only at that high starting bid, then people will have to pay that price or live without the commodity. Only someone betraying the agreement like the defecting prisoner in game theory can bring the price down. Also known as a cartel, illegal in some countries but they happen all the time. |

7% PPS seems fair given your only pure PPS competitor in the BTC market (deepbit) charges 10% of all earnings.
Variance swings are massive at this difficulty level and only 29ghash/s though.
Do you have a stable enough buffer to guarantee PPS payments in the short term?
95th percentile rounds are nearing 10 million shares soon.

What were the requirements to get a free one?
If you had an active order to purchase BTC at the time of the breach.. you are eligible. where do you request for one? Just click on 'Order a Yubikey', on the checkout page it will say the price is free if you had a trade open when the site crashed. If it doesn't show 'free' as the price but you really had a trade cancelled, email Mt. Gox and they'll send you one |

i don't understand the point of this. if a pool offered a no fee PPS system, people will be all over it within a day. why should a pool owner pay you 10% more? the only thing you're really offering is an "instant" 100 GH/s, rather than a 1-2 day delay.
It makes perfect business sense even if you only keep transaction fees as the pool admin, once your pool has been at a stable 100-150ghash/s for a few weeks, it's bound to grow and attract new miners. When you achieve 300-500ghash/s, you no longer need Vladimirs service, and after he leaves you have a 400ghash/s pool for life that just keeps growing & growing if all goes well on your end (low stales, prompt payments) & if you have modest fees like 0.5% to 1% you'll start seeing profits pretty soon. The smaller your pool is at the current & upcoming difficulties, the more chance that variance will totally kill your pool in the short term. Like someone said above, rational small and medium sized miners (100-1000mhash/s) will no longer opt for small pools unless they just like the thrill. Variance will not even out within the 2 weeks a difficulty level lasts, in the worst case you may not even see a block for 2 weeks (maybe even a month) at the 10-30ghash/s you accumulated naturally. If I had a pool I'd buy the service instead of only using my own (15ghash) hashrate to kickstart the operation. Beats spending $50k+ additional dollars on hardware getting to that hashrate myself. |

I also got a free one a while back, have to say I can really sleep at ease now even with significant $$ or BTC stored in the account.
Spent time researching how feasible it is to crack Yubikey authentication, seems to be very infeasible so I trust it for now.
Negative side, it's bound to Mt. Gox so you can't use it as a normal YK on any other site.

People are pretty damn stupid, I wouldn't do this if I couldn't scam.
But it's not some bunch of affluent businessmen who don't mind a few dozen bucks here & there You're taking money from students, homeless people, crazy Ron Paul supporters with tinfoil hats whose best friend is their cat etc. (not that scammers usually care, just saying) |

What the fuck... Why am I being accused of being somebody I'm not? This is ridiculous. I'll be happy to go first with transactions, show me a few vouches from trusted members. Also you know you can change your address right?
 That's a pretty fast deal with someone who is a known scammer & last posted on July 12th, 26 secondsHow stupid do you think people are? What's your next excuse? |

I'm having sad thoughts about this pool.. It seem's we've hit a difficulty where we have to low hashing speed.. In the long block, I sent 17096 shares in for a 0,14324500 BTC. That is a loss of 0,34862951495985664 BTC if I'd been using PPS.. I too had a big dry spell from Continuum. With to low avg solving rate.. this just won't be enough to keep at it.
Not to talk about the 6% rejected shares.. >_< Guess it's time to end this trip.. or move it for PPS again. 340MH isn't cutting it..
Suggestions anyone?
Start mining full time on Eclipse after it hits 300-500gh/s hash rate, at that point variance swings will be relatively low if everything is configured properly (even at 1.6m+ difficulty) It's also one of the few pools offering SMS notifications so that's a unique perk. |

Every single thing sent through PayPal except mass payments can be reversed (and if you're shitty enough you could phone up the bank to cancel a 'fraudulent bank wire transfer).
All Paypal transactions to BTC are extremely risky for the seller. The vast majority of buyers are scammers.
If you want to build trust, trade your PP to Dwolla & make an escrow trade at btcrow.com so that neither party can be scammed.
Thanks for the info. Can I use dwolla in the uk? Dwolla is only for US people at the moment, I think they are working to improve their service to major other countries but not sure how long it will take in order to be completed. In the UK (if it's like there at Quebec / Canada) I think you should be able to openup a US bank account for US funds only, didn't tested but dwolla could work this way. I also do not recommend to use paypal as payment processor to exchange BTC, till they told in their ToS that they aren't currency exchanger you can get your account banned without any questions. I also saw someone recommending my escrow service BTCrow.com it could be use as a secure way to make transfer but I still do not recommend using paypal for such transaction. There's plenty of exchangers out there which can exchange your cash to other things such as LR or WMZ. My recommendation: Get your funds to your bank account or credit card, then create a LR account and use an exchanger to transfer your bank or credit card funds to LR. A good list can be found here: http://www.bsrates.com/. Then Exchange LR to BTC via people here or via mtgox or tradehill. For LR to BTC transaction if you fear of being scammed or anything else, you can now use my escrow service at BTCrow.com. Hope this information was useful. Jules info@btcrow.comBTCrow.com This is the best & safest method for both buyer & seller. Only scammers would object to these procedures. I still wouldn't recommend LibertyReserve as a quick search shows they have chargeback procedures as well (scam magnet) |

Paypal, Credit Card, etc...?
Would someone sell you 5 ounces of gold with a credit card? Not if they don't have any sort of verification about your legitimacy. Why would someone sell you 5 bitcoins if you have zero credentials and are offering something you will chargeback in 2 minutes after the trade has taken place? If you were legit you would be proposing a payment method such as BTCrow.com which ensures payments can't be disputed after blockexplorer shows sent BTC, and payment can't be done by methods that are reversible (like PayPal). |

The MSI site says it has 1600 stream processors. That's all you really need to know, it's a full 5870 core.
It also has 2 low-noise fans as opposed to one noisy blower. There is nothing wrong with your card.

Actually it would not cost a single dollar to get the price to 21.5.
The only thing necessary would be all sellers increasing their price to 21.5 or above, and voila price would be 21.5.
But it seems that a lot of folks like to sell at lower prices, maybe to keep the price down.
Read up on prisoners dilemma. It applies perfectly. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner's_dilemmaThere will always be scared and anxious people willing to betray that 'trust' for their own very-short term gain even if they could earn more a few weeks down the road by not panicking. The fact is, people panic. Especially inexperienced traders and miners |

May well be a scammer, but, in his image, the received address is "1L5....", so your look up on blockexplorer is misleading.
http://blockexplorer.com/address/1L5Ht1tnCtkcQP3gWucgi6zWeAXig5JGba81 steady interval transactions @ 7 btc total, probably the proceeds from his small 1 GPU mining operation. Has never seen even 20 btc let alone 200 Maybe a pool admin can identify the address |

I don't see how it would be a problem as long as the temperature stays low.
Mobile VRM's aren't designed for 24/7 stress at 100% (or more if overclocked). The ventilation is designed expecting normal pauses every now and then. In general it's a horrible idea trying to mine continuously with an iMac GPU. |

Saw this thread right after it was posted; Too high risk IMO (even for used items).
Nobody sells these for 400 bucks when even used 5970's go for $600-$700 routinely on eBay
