How do I do that? Is there some way to contact them?
You could Tweet at them I guess, but your right, I don't see a contact form anywhere. @SatoshiDice |

I'am simple person, and need few block diagrams but think that a PCI card packed would be a better idea than all of the Boxes out there.
It would also transport better fit's in a post pack.
Agreed, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=170977.0 |

Install bitcoin-qt at this point would be a slow, and boring process, because you have to sync with the blockchain.
I would go with a light wallet, like Electrum, and just backup your word list.

I bet a transparently developed AISC would go nuts on Kickstarter if BFL doesn't deliver soon...
I don't mind developing an ASIC mining chip, but there is no way I have the funds to get them made. I'm sticking to my Spartan 6's for now. |

=> do you work on windows / or on Linux ? I suppose windows ... but please explain
I used debain linux Yes, yes I do. => then to the other operations parts : once you have a truecrypt image, how does one install a wallet into a trucypt image , which wallet is recommended ? is a wallet the same as a client ? ... sorry I'm quite new here
I generate wallet pairs, and the raw transactions with bitcoinJS (a JS based bitcoin library), using Webkit to run the scripts. This isn't for your average user, but the extremely paranoid and/or board developer. (I would be both) |

I been looking into this for about a week and it's been fun. I think considering the money or bits or shit whatever it's worth a very close look funny we have our extra PC's here grinding away think they call it mining. Another spot is www.opencores.org they also have SHA 256 . I would go for an IP core not sure what one maybe the TSMC looked like the best speed, Multiplex < Spartan > (USB) or Ethernet. We are also a Microchip design partner but they don't have anything with enough power. The crypto core on opencores.org is FPGA based, your not going to break any banks there, but it's nothing a passing hobbiest can't manage either, more over, it's designed for a single SHA256 hash, you would have to write a script to pass every hash twice before moving on... |

I referring to the slot on my laptop..such a product would turn any laptop into a ppc/nvc/btc miner!
I don't think I could fit a cooling system into it, but if the protocol is opensource like the desktop pci-e, I can make a board for it. |

PHP (mtgox_ticker.php) <?php
echo json_encode(file_get_contents('https://data.mtgox.com/api/2/BTCUSD/money/ticker'));
?>
jQuery (ticker.js) function getMtGoxTicker() {
return jQuery.parseJSON($.ajax({
dataType: "JSON",
url: "mtgox_ticker.php",
async: false
}).responseText);
}
This should return a JavaScript object array with all the BTC price data your heart could want. Data API: https://data.mtgox.com/api/2/BTCUSD/money/ticker |

jquery is the standard, could you do this using mtgox 24hr avg?
jQuery will still require a PHP-proxy script, because of modern cross-site security implementations. Give me a few minutes, and I'll post a php script to fetch the MtGox Avg. and a jQuery script to catch it. |

I just had an idea browsing here on my T410. Is there a way to fit a couple spartan chips in a pci-express slot? If temps are an issue then the chips can be mounted externally and cooled passively (approx 380Mh/s would be the thermal capacity of passive)
Again, please focus on your mining card first!
The board design I'm on has 2 spartan chips, both cooled with a heat sink and fan combo. It's currently a PCI-e(xpress) x16 double wide card. More chips could possibly be placed on one card, but as I'm laying out the specs, I'm concerned about voltage levels for that many chips on one slot. |

Gains Stats? Screenshots?
Seriously, if you can prove it does what it says, it's something to mark.
Serious inquires I can show the screenshots, there isn't much it is all command line. I am not in the market to really sell it, hence the large price tag, it is more if your serious and want it you can get it. Nope, not seriously inquiring. |

Sure... Would you like it in PHP, JS, or jQuery? I'll whip one up for you, it's not really that hard.

I'm an ex Cadence design systems engineer, just thought i would post this here. I don't understand what the fuss is about developing a SHA 256 ASIC and why many more have not already done it. ASIC design IP for SHA 256 Good start is to download the chip estimate software developed by Cadence. http://www.chipestimate.com/ lookup SHA 256 http://www.chipestimate.com/ip.php?256-bit+SHA+Cryptoprocessor+Core&id=14006This looked good the TSMC core is also available that many are working with. We use Cadence and Altium electronic CAD, here ready for hire!!! Thanks Aeronautical Pty Ltd The problem isn't the cores, almost any electrical design hobbiest can design a SHA256(SHA256(x)) core with the help of google and some opensource IPs, its the massive overhead that is the hurdle. Not many here have the 6-figure bank account to make a mass order if ASICs, nor the man power to put all of them to work. Hell, if you want to find the capitol, and are willing to sell singles, I'll buy a few, but anything beyond that takes more than most have. |

Very interested in the schematics!
Isn't the cost of the FPGAs kind of problematic though - since they are like $200 each and get something like 255 MHashes/sec? Is the bandwidth of the PCI-e important?
From digikey they have 2 of the same sets, 1 for $158/chip and 1 for $172/chip. The specs and product numbers are the same, so I'm not sure why there are 2 different prices. The hash rate published on fpgaminers is about 400MH/s for 2 chips, but I plan on messing with the voltage and cooling to see what sort of output I can get. |

Idea's and suggestions would be greatly appreciated - THANKS
List of Suggestions: RPC Protocol for making transactions and generating wallets Use mysqlight databases for backups of transactions and wallet/account details Profitability calcuators and graphics would be nice |

Mind disclosing some more info on the bot? Language, libraries, etc?
It is written in Java. There are no libraries I wrote it completely from scratch. It can easily be used on any exchange, currently I wrote it very modular for every part of the bot, so any and every thing can easily be changed. It has a lot of logging and saving trades in many different formats for my own records. I can't talk about trading logic. Trading logic can be picket up at any book store with "Stocks for Dummies", I was assessing your bots probable ability. |

I have a btc-e account (and never had any issues), which allows for PayPay transfers at a slightly lower rate. After that there is VirWox, which I know BitInstant uses to make it's PayPal transactions, but I have never used it myself.

I use LastPass and have found it very useful but I am now concerned about security with the increase of btc value.
My bitcoins are scattered over several online wallets and trading accounts.
LastPass is used to store all login details including additional fields such as pins etc. and I never store or save the data anywhere else.
KeePass is used to store LastPass password. The LastPass password is very strong but I rarely need to use KeePass as I use the save password function for LastPass.
Is this safe? Can my LastPass account be compromised.
If it can be, what can I do to help boost my security? Any tips will be appreciated and may help others too.
Thanks
Short Answer: If you trust LastPass, and your certain your PC won't be compromised in any other way, then your good. A PC can always be compromised, and cookies/session can always be hijacked. But both of those are inherent flaws of using any online wallet, LastPass or not. |
