Not my fault they bough nvidia cards  Cheesy

Nvidia cards are superior for distributed computing in general. Take F@h protein folding, or space research such as SETI for example;
Nvidia cards fetch 4-10x more performance than a comparable ATI/AMD card.

Also most supercomputers in the world use Nvidia cards or ASICs.

http://www.top500.org/

You named the 2 projects where the ATI client is a fail: Folding and SETI. Folding ATI client is so much fail, and the staff state this too, it's a known fact it's not optimized. As for SETI, well, same apply, it use mostly the CPU for the computations.

Let's speak about Milkyway, Collatz Conjecture, DNETC (and Moo! Wrapper), where both the nvidia and ati client are fully optimized. ATI simply kickass nvidia in all these projects, especially in Milkyway where double precision is used.

There is no +1 rep system that can be abused and i am very happy about that.

So why can't Gavin take the coins from EFF, convert them to Dwollas, and then to cash...and send the EFF a nice money order for that amount?  Perhaps with a nice note saying "Please use this to offset any legal costs associated with the defense of the bitcoin system."

Now that's a nice question...

Yea well with 500k we can start defending ourself  Cheesy
4805  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: EFF no longer accepting Bitcoin on: June 21, 2011, 10:06:05 AM
I find their motivation a bit nonsense...

"not understand the legal issues"? Ewh, we send you "bitcoin" and you sell them for $, it's like we send you gold and you sell it, no difference.

As for the "we don't want to represent bitcoin" make even less sense for me...

I think the truth is either they don't really know what "bitcoin" is and well instead of study better what it is decided to simply drop it "just to be sure" (and this make me think a lot about their "organization") or there is something else behind that....

I am still looking for how can this be a scam or a PONZI SCHEME  Roll Eyes

So, who opened the trolls cages?

If your room is at 90 degree(i guess fahrenheits) and your gpu is at 80 degree(with same scale) then your temp sensor is broken.
i have a coolmaster 932 full tower and the computer is cooler then the room cause of the fans inside it.(this is the crossfire 6990s)
Are you a God?  Shocked

I suppose it's a simple exchange, like, i give you X for a chocolate bar, where X can be bitcoin or another item...and i "think" the law protect them too...

You are right, my data was a bit old, the hash rate of bitcoin grew a lot in these days  Cheesy

But well for 190€ you can buy a 6950 that can easily do 350mhash/s. You would need like 23285 of them to double the current network hashrate, and that's less than 5 millions of €. Sure, $ is worth less than €, but with 10 millions of $ you can get that.

So saying "omg bitcoin hashrate is higher than the whole top500 supercomputers together" is a bit nonsense, when the bitcoin hashrate is worth like only 10millions $ (i think those supercomputers are more expensive...)
4813  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What now? on: June 20, 2011, 12:07:57 PM
Just download the latest guiminer, it has http://api.bitcoin.cz as address for slush's pool so you will automatically use the right address.

As for rewards and blocks, just check the website! http://www.mining.bitcoin.cz/ login and check  Cheesy The pool is proportoinal, that mean, for every block the pool find, the users are rewarded based on how many shares they sent during the search for that block. Everything is explained on the site.

Check this website to know how many BTCs exist http://bitcoinwatch.com/

Right now there are 6,603,000 BTC

Do you realize that the computing power of bitcoin exceeds that of the supercomputers because they are mostly cpu based???

With a simple 5 millions $ investment you can buy enough GPUs to have more than 50% of the total mining power.
