I dont know, I have some experience in FPGA and even ASIC, your sure BFL will be able to ship ASICs so fast after getting them from production line? Customers may get a DOA product or something wich will perform 1/10 of the specs due to some glitch or bug which cant be worked around..
PS: I do plan to buy BFL ASICs too but after they hit the market.

Nu se stie data exacta cand o sa fie fie in mainile utilizatorilor si nici specificatiile finale. Probabil am sa cumpar dupa primul val daca specificatiile sunt cu mult mai bune decat fpga-urile mele.

Yeah, interesting indeed. Quite amazing monthly operational cost..

Yep! Same guy. BTW, I just shorten that long URL address.

Weird, that guy lives in Romania where he seems to be involved in some environmental projects.. Does not seem like typical bitcoiner..

Quantum cromputing has an advantage against the current implementation of public-private key encryption standards, RSA I think. If those computers ever got close to being able to crack those encryptions, people would just start using keys with more bits or come up with a new public-private key methodology that wasn't as vulnerable. Bitcoin would update and move on. That's what I understand, at least.

Hm, I dont think using bigger key will help. If anyone gets a quantum stable turing machine (and thats about a finite number of q computer elements, less than 100), it can be programmed to run any algorithm. It wont help to have a bigger key since it will be able to brute force any regular encryption algorithm in same amount of time.

On the flip side, isn't quantum cryptography being developed/in use?  I think it has been developed and cracked already, but I believe the quantum cryptography fundamentals are solid, just the implementation that needs to be corrected (I am by no means knowledgeable about the subject, just trying to recall some things I read awhile back)
"quantum cryptography" right now is only "quantum communications" and less "quantum computing". they use quantum effects like entanglement to safe transfer info from A to B.

430  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Good pool for 33 MH/s spare time miner on: August 30, 2012, 05:12:17 PM
I use this laptop rather frequently so I only mine in my spare time or when I'm not doing graphically intensive things.  I get about 30-33 MH/s on my GTX 460M and I'm wondering which pool would be best for me to use.

I've tried a bunch but haven't been totally pleased with any of them, and I'm wondering if there's ones I'm missing.

And I know people are going to attempt to convince me to build something for mining.  I'm already considering it, but I need the money first (no, these funds aren't going toward that).

Any suggestions?

Any big PPS pool, EMC, BTC guild, etc.
However, I suggest you dont bother, you will do less than 5 USD per month and you will risk breaking your laptop card by overheating, repair or replacement will cost you what you will get in an year..

we are already doing a crazy thing by mining money out of f.ing thin air, %7 pw interest on that was a bit too much Smiley
agree 100% Cheesy
432  Economy / Speculation / Re: If Pirate's Scheme never existed what would the current price of BTC be? on: August 24, 2012, 12:55:46 AM
The reward halving is near the corner, it will happen with a big bubble, probably BTC will go over 30, just wait to see the rally when ASICS will hit..

Sometimes the bubble occurs in anticipation of an event so there aren't any significant price increases when the event actually occurs.  The reward halving and the advent of ASIC might have driven a price hike independently of each other, but they may actually cancel each other out in reality. 
Yes, I do agree, 99% of the time, but the bubble near this event will hit insane threshold scaled by huge spike in network haspower with its negative spike in BTC gain.

yes, and that has been known since ... oh about 2009.  it might already be priced in.  if it stagnates here at $10 expect some selling by those like yourself thinking that alone would zip the price up to $15 or $30 and it ends up not looking likely to happen.

just wait to see the rally when ASICS will hit..

hmm ... 7,200 btc are mined each day with 17 thash/s.   then we have asic and go to 40 thash/s.  and there still are 7,200 btc mined per day.    how would that impact the exchange rate?   perhaps you somehow thinking the hash rate controls the price?   it is the other way around, after the price goes up more investment in mining capacity occurs and continues to occur until mining is no longer all that profitable.

The most decent estimates are 7x not 2x in network hash power right after ASICs come to market..

I'm not sure what you mean?  What GUI wasn't working?

The web front-end wasnt displaying hashrate "realtime".

I hopped, I did need to check my hashrate since I am constantly adding new miners to my array and GUI wasnt working. But I'll be back Smiley

Anyone selling legit amazon.com gift cards (Kidle books) for BTC?
I'm old amazon customer, I use to spend money with them and I cant afford my account to get under scrutinize. I did read there is some exchange "BTC for amazon books", any tip?

Its an quasi-ortogonal equation, part is designed diminished return connected with new actors entering the game, part is speculation regarding block reward halving, complexity increase, asics entering the ring, etc..
