Additional .6174BTC bounty for percent chance of that super-ist super-computer creating an address which collides with any already-existing address within 20 years.
+.314BTC bounty to give percent chance of successfully brute-forcing this password ("ingk32%(#ldNUI93") on a WinZip archive with AES-128 encryption within 1 minute using 100k of those same ATI cards, assuming they are each able to push out 4million valid passwords per second.

ETA: Feel free to round to the nearest billionth.


Heh. Forgot what this thread was even about. I'll quit bumping.

That's nice. You could over-volt your cards at night, under-volt during the day. I imagine off-peak hours are during night, too, so lower ambient temperatures (assuming you leave your windows open) were you to over-volt during those times. Gotta call the electricity provider where I'm moving... They usually only supply oil but have a lot of wells there, so decided to provide the electricity for the entire area where they have oil wells... maybe they'd be open to something like that.

Email from 27m ago in case you didn't get it:

"...

Please be patient, payouts will be on time and with the correct PPS values depending on difficulty shares were earned at. This is what we are fixing up right now.

..."

ETA: From another to me --

"... We are working on it from 2 seperate databases, the initial one was allways correct its just the secondary thats having issues. ..."

(@P4 - edited original reply to clarify what I meant by #1) -- GPUMax is a good example of miners leasing hashing power, and an operator (who brings the leasers and leasees together) collecting arbitrage. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=55819.0;topicseen

Dunno if SA guy is fraudulent or not -- didn't read it well. Read Paypal doesn't deal in SA's ZAR currency, but IIRC from someone else, all major banks hold USD reserves. Maybe it'd cost quite a bit to do a transfer. Idunno. *shrug* Sounds potentially reasonable to me.

Though fee's reduced to .3% after just 10k trade volume in <30D.

I guess. 

Thanks again. 

Fancy. Thanks. 

ETA: Oh -- I'm guessing I'll have to plug my KVM video adapter into the integrated's video output?

Yes.

Two legit (see below -- misspoke) reasons have been given -- can't say pools do either of these (and these are just the ones I've heard of).

1) Pool op sells mining contracts. Pool op sells hashing power @ >115% value, collects arbitrage profit, lures miners with better rates.
2) Pool op is unable to purchase Bitcoins using his native currency, but either wants BTC, or has people lining up to buy the BTC. Because others are also unable to buy BTC in their native currency, they pay a significant (>115% market value) premium.

ETA: @ #1, mining contracts are sold over price they'd normally earn. Very similar to GLBSE mining ops. Would be cheaper for leasee to do the mining himself, but with an up-front cost of whatever the leasee would like to pay for IPO shares. Mining op owner/operator buys the equipment, does the mining himself, then distributes profits AFTER taking a percent for himself. GLBSE ops have the added benefit (for the leasee) of the "mining contract" lasting "forever."

Would setting my BIOS to use the integrated GPU as the primary adapter do what I want?

Last day for higher CD rates. Quick reminder that CDs are personally backed by me -- even if all my loans go bad, you will still get paid.

BDK is now significantly more diversified, and a new "equity diversification" requirement has been added. I am ("BDK" is) now invested in FPGA.contract, imsaguy's lending program, and a meager 5BTC in Bitscalper out of curiosity. "Loan diversification" requirement has also been modified to be more sensible, taking into account all securities instead of just other loans.

ETA: I'm taking a break for at least a couple days. PM me if you want to talk to me. Probably faster to email me if you know the address.

(apologies if wrong forum -- descriptions are pretty vague)

No point using potential hash power of a mining card when there're integrated graphics. Is it possible to force Windows (or through BIOS?) to display on a monitor using only the integrated graphics so the dedicated graphics cards can... you know.... dedicate themselves to mining?

Would this be theoretically possible if an easy-to-implement solution doesn't already exist?


Cheers.

It can, yes. Usually, the screen will show a bunch of garbage, then crash - if it's set too low. Generally, once you go below 325MHz on modern cards, you're in a territory where the card may crash. It's possible MSI AB was displaying the DDR memory speed, which is probably 2x or more greater than the speed most commonly used to report GPU mem speed. (so, it's possible that Trixx reported it in the common way, which could be 700MHz if displaying mem speed in "DDR" speed, which it's possible MSI AB is doing)

Try 650MHz. Fwiw, I don't believe you can cause any permanent damage by underclocking or overclocking mem speeds -- only problem comes from overvolting & high temps.

Fine here. Just signed up out of curiosity.

To encourage people to sell cheaper so he can buy 'em up. 

How long would it take the super-ist super-computer to generate & save 1/10 of all possible addresses? .0686 btc bounty!

Site likely compromised. Going to go give them all my personal & credit information. brb.

Bitcoin businesses do it better. Great-tasting, extremely quick processing, great customer service. One of those businesses I wish I had more demand for, much like edd's BitBrew. Everyone in my family loves them.

Fancy. Thanks, BA. Confirmed repaid. 

Would be pleased to loan to you again if ever needed.

Very true. 1k sq. feet OVER-heated by 7 5850s running undervolted. It's below freezing outside and I actually open the windows every few hours.
