Hearing this makes me curious about something.I hope that someone who's knowledgeable can help me here.
I wonder how much amps/watts a typicalhouse and apartment wiring system can handle in the UK.
The volt is 240V in UK,in the home it's about 40A max going from the utility to the house but I wonder how many watts and amps a typical circuit in UK can handle (for Appliances,not central heating as that's on a 30A circuit) in a apartment and in a house?
There is no "typical" here. You need to look at your breaker box where the fuses are. The fuses will say what amperage each circuit has available. |

This is why my rack of rigs runs 240v. Dual 30amp 240v L6-30p  |

imagine a dollar or euro bill with a serial number that is exactly your birth day. how much would you pay for it?
Whatever the face value is. |

I want to know how to do this on Amazon cloud.
Is this available in U,the amazon cloud?
If so How do I signup in UK for Amazon cloud?
Has Amazon kicked or banned anyone from using the free tier of service for bitcoin mining?or is it allowed but throttled?
Did you not read the above posts? CPU mining in the cloud is useless. Please don't even bother. |

fly, I was mostly referring to the other posts. Yours sounded like a legitimate question  I really think this is the cheapest solution that gets decent results. Yeah you could go crazy with better cooling but this was about $13 total and lowered the heat so much that I think everyone should do it. Sorry, but investing all that time to get a couple of Celsius change isn't worth it. Here's a solution that will take a 85C card to 65C: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835213001 , point it from above at your cards. 240cfm does wonders. I have one in each of my rigs pointing down at the cards, and two 120mm 110cfm Silverstone fans at the front of the case pulling air in. I run closed cases with 4x GPUs each. I won't waste time with wooden dowels, that's too flimsy. Hmmm... While Delta certainly makes nice fans, they're also loud as hell. This fan is $30. For that, I could buy two cheap 6" Honeywell air circulators, move the same (or more) air for the same electricity cost, *and* retain my hearing. 62db is LOUD and if you didn't have those deltas in a case, you'd have to fasten them somehow. Those motors have serious torque and *move* when initially powered on. 62db is not terribly loud, my whole server rack is running far louder than that with 6 servers operating 24x7. Blowing hot air on the MB is not an issue and yes the caps are ceramic. These boxes have all been operating 24x7 for months at a time without any issues whatsoever. If you're keeping your single rig in your house where you actually live that is one thing, but if so watercooling makes far more sense if you want efficient cooling with a lack of noise. When you guys are talking about all this hand made one-off stuff you might want to consider that the time and effort required to get 2-5C of cooling effect is not worth it when you are need to do more than one case. Running multiple systems sanely requires consistency and repeatability. Wooden dowels and twisty ties in a mining rig, come on. What's next, lincoln logs to make an open case design? |

If it was really that easy, anyone with a bit of cash would be able to produce practically infinite wealth.
Caution! Brain fart ahead. Now everybody has a chance to own a block of 50 BTC by solving one of these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIicxgqSH4g&feature=relatedWith my idea, all six sides have the exact same image of the Bitcoin logo. You buy one and it's shipped to you, but not solved. Your task is to solve it and send it back, whereupon 50 BTC's (minus shipping cost) is entered into your wallet and another one is sent for you to solve. rubikcoin.comThis has nothing to do with mybitcoin or tom williams. go hawk your wares on your own thread. Like I said before, this has nothing to do with the content of the thread. My somewhat tongue-in-cheek comment (actually, one of my brain farts that I wanted to share with the community, then) was in reference to this: If it was really that easy, anyone with a bit of cash would be able to produce practically infinite wealth. As far as hawking wares, rubikcoin.com is not a real site/company. Also, the YouTube link doesn't represent anything I'm even remotely attached to. Therefore, I'm hawking nothing. Please correct me if I'm wrong, shotgun. ty |

I put in a deposit request from my bank (bofa bastards) on 8/4 and it's still processing. Why does an otherwise instant process take 4+ days? This is pissing me off. Is there some way to make this process faster? Anyone else have the same issues with dwolla or know of a faster method to get money *into* mt.gox?

After some trying I found a SHA256 hash generator for Linux: $ gpg --print-md sha256 < /dev/stdin<Enter> <your passphrase><Enter> <Ctrl-D><Ctrl-D> which gives the same results as $ gpg --print-md sha256 <file><Enter> where <file> is a file containing <your passphrase> and also the same results as http://www.xorbin.com/tools/sha256-hash-calculator in which you type: <your passphrase><Enter> Cool, so am I to believe that I can use this method to generate a bitcoin address and then use it for transactions? If so... you win the internet for the day and I will donate 0.05btc to you (hey it's better than nothing). |

Good point. It would be hilarious if that's what ends up happening.
Hilarious is the wrong word. |

It takes a Minumum of 1.875 G/hps to make 1BTC/24hr.
With current prices at $6-7 how do the casual miners hang on?
depends where you pool. ex: coinotron took >1month to mind a block, so it took far longer for my 3.5ghash (at that time) to generate 1BTC, however at Deepbit my 4Ghash (approx current +/- 10% dep on stales) generates >2.5BTC/d. |

I pay zero electricity and am still making satisfactory returns with very modest means. Asides those with high power costs, I'm not sure why people are in panic mode over this increase.
most people seem to go into panic mode after every increase, as if they didn't expect it to happen or something. WHAT DID YOU EXPECT TO HAPPEN?! |

How about you unplug the AC unit and keep a couple of windows open? I have 16 GPUs running in closes cases in my garage on dual 30amp 240v circuits (with a lot of case fans for moving hot air) and don't run any AC at all. Sure the room gets warm but it's not like you have to have AC - you just need the cards to stay under 80C.
Second to that, go buy a Kill-a-Watt meter and see what you're actually drawing power wise. That will help you prevent overload.

well can any one recomend me a card to try?
I've tried some of the old geforce 7xxx and 9500 cards (which are even PCIe) and they get 1-4,hash/s. NONE of the standard PCI cards are going to give you anything worth the expense of electric costs. One PCIe system with one decent new radeon 5770 ($130) will give you more mhash than 16 old PCI/AGP cards will do. |

good luck finding any 5850 cards these days.

one option is to take the plastic off of the OPEN type and put fans to 0 speed, but only if you have a high cfm case fan(s) blowing at the top of the cards (like you have in the pic). That way you're not dealing with the gpu fans screwing up the airflow distribution. By high cfm I mean the deltas that push 150-240cfm.
Of course in a closed case you need the same thing + a case fan in front to push air in, and another case fan pulling hot air out from the back.
