My mining rigs have kicked the breaker in my house once, but beyond that I don't have any scary mining stories.
Hardware stories though?
Once I was replacing the thermal paste on my CPU, I got some thermal paste on my hand and didn't wash it off. (That's a BIG mistake depending on what type of thermal paste...)
I now have a permanent chemical burn on my hand from CPU thermal paste...
Any skin I have that grows over the burn dies at a very accelerated rate, it looks like psoriasis.
did you go to the doctor for that? |

workers are there for a reason, 1 GPU = 1 worker
it keeps it organized and optimized
organized? yes. optimized? not really. |

Damn, I didn't expect replies that fast! Ati's are better at raw integer calcs, while nvidia cards are better at floating point calcs. The former is a better fit for bitcoin hashing, the latter a better fit for scientific simulation. Ahh, that would explain things a lot - guess ATI is the way to go then. For the next three years or so power expenditure will be zero, so I guess it would be wise to make the most out of it! That said I'm not going to go and blow a load on an entire new rig, will probably just invest in a couple of new GPUs - it looks like the ATI 58XX models are the way to go? Thanks for the quick replies everyone  5850 is the most cost effective card, in terms of performance/$, but they're rare, even more rare than 5970, or 6990. 5830/5870 are the next best cards. use 5830 if you don't have much money to invest with, or 5870 if you have lots of cash. |

The council recognizes Grue... Grue, speak to us your wisdom and adventures on this matter. 1. mine 2. sell 3. profit? (not really because i could be mining bitcoins) I have mined a few blocks myself  I probably mined more than 10 000 namecoins to date. :p |

why are you selling it? it's only been a week.

I believe it's the same cable, but Cablesaurus ships from the US, while that Ebay seller ships from China. With Cablesaurus you wait 2 or 3 days (assuming you're also in the US), with the other seller you wait 2 or 3 weeks. If you're depending on having those cables to add more mining capacity, getting them quickly is of utmost importance. ok, makes sense. and any idea why it costs $2.7 extra to cut the side of a pci-e extender? Because there are lazy people who will pay that much to have someone else do it for them.  If you're not one of those people, you can save $2.7 per cable. is it complicated to cut it? |

Inflation above zero but below the growth of the world economy still results in deflation in terms of prices.
Not quite...inflation above zero, but below the growth of the *bitcoin* economy still results in deflation (or as I prefer to view it, an appreciation in the value of a bitcoin). As for the question about why not keep a permanent inflation, I think that could have also worked. A declining payout means that the rate of inflation of the bitcoin money supply more quickly reaches rates comparable with and ultimately better than national currencies (as has been mentioned earlier). But, if the rate remained at 50btc/block, eventually the rate of inflation would still approach 0%. I do think the timeframes for the declining payout should give bitcoin inflation a chance at staying a bit lower than the growth rate of its economy. If it works out that way, the value of a bitcoin should continue to appreciate, which makes it a good store of value...and that is important at this stage. that's been discussed before. http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2792.0 |

On 0.4.0 PGP signing:
Starting with 0.4.0, the bitcoin releases on Win32 will be generated deterministically (assuming me/devrandom have enough time to code the specifics) and signed by all the Bitcoin developers who have the ability to do so. The "installer" will then install a minimal script and the relevant dependencies to the Bitcoin folder and then run that script. That script then downloads the latest version of Bitcoin and checks that enough signatures are on it for it to be considered trusted and install that version. The script will (hopefully) also be used to update bitcoin when new versions come out.
On code signing:
This one is a bit more difficult. Because Bitcoin will be built deterministically, we have two options. A. send the code signing private key around to all the devs for that to be a part of the building process (this is even harder as the building happens on Linux via the MinGW cross compiler) or B. find a way to strip out the code signing certificate in the download script and then check the stripped version instead of the signed version. I googled this pretty quick and saw no simple CLI program which will do this, but I might have missed something as I didnt spend too much time on it. If anyone finds something, please tell me.
auto-update = super bad idea. if a attacker can compromise the script, he can make tons of rouge clients. |

# git clone https://github.com/gavinandresen/bitcointools.git
# cd bitcointools
# ./dbdump.py --wallet --datadir=/point/to/wallet/dir
Use ./dbdump.py --help for other options. I still wasn't able to figure out what to do with these commands. I tried putting them in the python command line, but it did absolutely nothing. Again, I haven't ever worked with python, so any help would be appreciated! that's for unix, i believe. |

This 13 transactions was received and I have not configured fee until now. I have started with 0.01 BTC fee but when I wanted to send bitcoins I've got the messege like this in this thread that at least 0.02 fee is needed so I configure to 0.02 and then I received that the 0.18 BTC fee is needed so I configure it and then I've got that the 0.58 is needed and in the end I stoped at "1.62". I am very upset with that situation, is there any solution for this ?
the fee that you're configuring is PER KB. not a flat fee. leave it at 0.01, and you will be fine |

any chance you can donate this certificate to the bitcoin community? |
