In order to become rich all you need is a pen and a paper. If you can write good books, movies, etc you can become rich. If you can play soccer, run or box you can become rich. If you can sing like a star, you can become rich. If you can entertain with your humor, you can become rich. If you can paint. All of these are things you can learn or do for free. and after 20 years I have finally got of my professional ass to write some short stories...and the 1st anthology entry I submitted has been short listed! yipeee |

I dont have a huge capability compared to a farm, but I am moving my 3 * 6770s + 10 * CPU cores over to LTC this week. I have 2 FPGAs that will remain mining BTC.
Also busy building a 800W wind turbine and integrating the storage and a synchronised inverter so to have $0.00kW/hr after payback. Total set up cost me <$150 from scrap parts (windmill, battery + inverter).

So gold gained $5/oz today... who cares? It lost a dollar yesterday, and it lost $14 the day before. The one year gold chart shows a whole lot of going nowhere, and the one year DXY chart looks more up than down. The 5 year DXY shows we've been bouncing around 80 since the '08 crisis: http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/index/dxyDebt has only increased since then, so demand for dollars (to make payments) is rising. I don't care how much Bennie prints and hands to the bankers, it won't cause inflation because the banks are hording it. If he handed out money to the people we might see some inflation, but I don't see that happening any time soon. Go look at Japan's economic history. There are some lessons to be learned, and those who understand them will do well in the US economy in the next few decades. You understand QE started killing japans economy ~20 years ago... but you claim the dollar isn't losing value... Look at any forex pair since 2008, you'll see the trends. Dont forget to comapre USD against other fiat to get a resounding picture of the falling USD. In Australia, in ~3yrs we have climbed from ~USD$0.70 up to ~USD$1.10 and have settled for the past few months around the USD$1.05 mark with no end in sight. This hurts my BTC operation as BTC > USD > AUD used to get me an extra 30% just on the exchange rates. |

Any ideas on why people are paying $20+ a pop when they can get for $9 cheaper?
Because mtgox and other methods are a pain for many and ebay is a known entity. Some folks also might not know any better. ADD: If people are willing to pay $20, it shows a truer price than what's reflected on the exchanges. For the avergae person, the current purchasing methods are just a pain the arse. Even as an "educated user", I don't buy coins because it is a pain in the arse to set up. An bitcoin wallet is easier to establish and using an existing medium to purchase them (ebay + paypal), is more user friendly. I can already hear the cries of anguish over such statements but take a step back and consider the target user. There is still a lot of people that find IT things culturally difficult, such as; 1. internet banking 2. installing applications 3. understanding a virus Not everyone grew up with a keyboard in their mouth. Now if we could get a bitcoin wallet widget to interface with more user friendly methods such as direct paypal then adoption might accelerate (example only) |

Gneral question...is there any thoughts / work being done WRT when a miner goes offline (display = OFF) and then having cgminer rescan (say every 30 sec) to refind mining hardware?
I ask becasue every few days one of my CM1s drops offline but the other keeps mining. As I am at a day job, it has to wait for a soft reset until I get home and thereby loosing mining time.
Cheers.

Can someone please recommend an easy to "register" exchange site for LTC > BTC and LTC > $$$

So what is the impact to the BTC community? Are we about to see mainstream software companies accepting BTC as payments?

That he bothers you SO MUCH actually says more about you than him.
Coming from a furry, I'll take that with a grain of salt. I guess the answer is that you are an intolerable asshole. At least it was a pretty clear answer. Sorry for derailing the thread. derailing would involving dragging your "yiffing" past times into it...whoops...now I have derailed it  |

Re: are the ASICs out user friendly?
No they are not
I cannot even get mine to power on
tried the various air gap power cables available in my country
ALSO the workmanship is terrible seems like there are less parts than there should be :/
Graet, Could you please advise the model of your ASIC? Is it BFL, bASIC, or another? Cranky |

Taxes are a necessary evil to provide your country with a certain standard of living. so I am fine with paying my taxes for this however what I am not fine with is being abused. Governments, particularly the public service, IMHO attract the most incompetent fuckwits on the face of the earth and place them in the key policy positions. They then make shit house decisions and waste large chunks of tax payer dollars in short sighted programs rather than 10~30 year plans that strengthen the backbone of the country.
If governments planned for more than the next election, then the public service that executes these masters wishes might be able to plan better. Then they could pay people on performance (e.g. sack the fuckwits and provide comparable pay as the private sector for performance) rather than what we have now which is "pay penuts get monkeys".
P.S. I am not a public servant

As an Engineer, I ask myself what is definition of BFLs "life time warranty"? Is it;
1. The calculated operational lifespan of the circuit board including solder joints, fatigue rates, etc and comes out to 18 months?
2. Is it the industry standard of 25 years = life time?
3. Is it the mean lifetime remaining of the purchaser? i.e. Purchaser is caucasian male with life expectancy of 80 years and he buys it when he is 40 years old, therefore the lifetime warranty is 40 years?
What does the forum think?
More importantly, what does BFL think?

Anyone know if the usual suspects, mokokam, is producing a +220MHs bitstream? I am all 220MHs with <0.5% error rates
I'm actually testing one out now that has a higher maximum cap. Thoroughly voids your warranty of course, as LazyOtto pointed out. Given that the CM1 will not be profitable to run shortly after ASIC release, well not profitable in Australia due to high power costs of $0.22 kW/hr, I will not be needing the warranty after ~Q1 2013. So I say "burn baby burn"....happy mining |

All miners Please give consideration to redirecting your non-mining processors (i.e. CPUs) to furthering humanity. I have created a SETI group called "Bitcoin miners" for a pooled contribution in the search for intelligent life outside of our solar system - some might argue we need to find intelligent life on earth first . I run 2 FPGAs and 2 GPUs. So I have pointed my free loading CPU cores towards this task and as the difficulty rises, my high $ per kWhr costs, is placing my GPUs at the tiping point of economoicsally viable so they will soon join the search too. Shortly I will also be forming a FOLD@home group which is searchnig for cellular level solutions to combat diseases such as cancer and AIDS. If your interested please DL from http://boinc.berkeley.edu/or drop a line on here. Regards, Cranky |
