Average folks in the People's Republic of China have an even harder time preserving the value of their savings than Westerners. They really only have the People's Bank of China as a safe store for it, and they get an interest rate there which is less than inflation. So alternative stores of value would be of great interest to many of them. http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2011/08/chinese-banks-these-things-arent-banks.html

What do "MACD (26,122): -0.753", "EXP(9): -0.851", "Divergence: 0.098", "RSI(14): 34.72" mean? What is bullish about this divergence measurement?

Your advertisement is confusing. Each rig has 4 GPUs? How are the 5850s distributed among the 5830s? You are selling all six rigs bundled for $3500? Why aren't you selling them separately? More buyers that way. But even then, $3500/6=583 seems a little high for such a rig...

I wouldn't call what's happening in bitcoin over the last few days a crash, anyway. It's all relative, and relative to the volatility in the BTCUSD rate, the recent price changes haven't been that large.

ngzhang, I am pretty much clueless about hardware, so I am interested in your views. Don't you think that if a large-scale enterprise were to get into this, they would be more interested in making a custom ASIC than an FPGA? How substantial do you imagine the power/speed gains could be for an ASIC over a GPU?

You dismiss any behavior that isn't right for you as "doesn't make sense" or "a joke". Are you against people being gay, too? How about people you don't speak your language, do you expect them to learn English? No, but I'm against woolly thinking and personal attacks like this.

At some mutally agreed-upon price, yes.

Actually, you want to be holding cash so you can pick assets up at bargain basement prices.

I think that's a wonderful idea, but I suspect that implementing it securely would involve a continual negotiation of a maze of twisty little html/javascript/CSRF/etc. vulnerabilities, all subtly different.

Even if he's a troll he does have a point. Nice graphs there netrin! Can you give an example of where netrin has been trolling?

Actually, what will happen is that the hashing rate will continue to drop, and when it reaches 1TH/s, the NSA, CIA and FBI will decide that they can cost-effectively take control of the block chain and use this power to cause further mayhem and disorder in the bitcoin markets. My crystal ball told me.

Interesting to see this thread after seeing this post on /r/Bitcoin They're full of shit.

I was responding to two individuals (old_engineer and fivebells). I was pointing out that their general sentiments ("You can't talk about economic rationality with bitcoins! Bitcoin is about faith and love and backless currency and...!") was a joke because it 1) flies in the face of both libertarianism and 2) you can't really have a currency as bitcoin purports to be without an exchange market and arbitrage. Mmm, strawman.

Teslas are good for floating-point operations, but a sha256 has calculation doesn't involve very many of those.

Here's where I'm currently at. Things might move around.
Thanks.

Yes, it's really a pretty simple idea. The mathematical notation doesn't particularly help to elucidate it.

can you configure the miner to communicate with the pool over tor? Im not sure you can. It uses http, but I dont know if it works with a proxy. You can send ALL network traffic over tor. I have tested ssh through it. Moreover, you would have to keep your bitcoins at the pool and spend them from there directly, rather than transferring them to your own wallet You can't just move them to a different, anonymous wallet?

Bump. I'd really appreciate some help with this, because the term "script" is hard to google usefully for. :-)
