Yeah, because that's what entrepreneurs need, the knowledge that early adopters will get screwed for taking a chance.

i cant access the wiki, it always tells me the 403 Forbidden html error...
eh. they're probably screwing with the server. it'll be back up by and by. it's the best resource for what you want. mining is a game of patience... |

what does everyone think?
personally, i'd go with an MSI 870A-G54. it's a seven-slot motherboard - put it in an eight-slot case with a top mounted PSU and a fan grille on the bottom of the case so you get good cooling to the bottom card. |

mining itself takes almost zero bandwidth if you're solo mining with a local bitcoind. if you're pool mining, with a high ask rate, it's going to be high, but not too much. (less than 10 mb per hour)
so solo mining, how often does it need to talk to the outside world? just open up System Monitor (if running linux - your own system monitoring tool if another OS) for a few minutes, and you can watch the network send and receive as you mine. |

I'm not "angry". I just think this movement is silly, since anyone could pretend to be part of it.
Wouldn't pretending to be part of it make you part of it? One of my friends is convinced that there is a 'real' anonymous, and they hide behind masses of posers. He is totally unable to understand my view that anonymous is a collection of random douchebags, including a couple with some real talents and skills. End result is about the same though. There is a small array of individuals that represent the whole of Anonymous, that control and guide these public campaigns, that organize and provide the tools for attacks and take-downs. Usually some of the identities repeat between episodes. They hide behind a wall of "neo-homosexuals" that pretend to be Anonymous while blabbing bullshit on 4chan. I guess your friend is right. However, the members of Anonymous do respect the imperatives declared on official propaganda, even when arrested by the police or tried by governments. So yeah, end of result is the same. Also recent scandals had "some" Anonymous members discrediting and detaching themselves from the actions of other Anonymous members (an accusation referred to as "similar-homosexuality" in 4chan vernacular). It is clear that this action is powered by a small percentage of those that have activated under the Anonymous umbrella.  bullshit. this is one person - and one person only - stealing the name of Anonymous; who has nothing to do it and never has. |

This is how I would solve the problem of the early speculators profiting disproportionately at the expense of newer comers.
it's amazing how those without imagination persist in attempting to define a problem in those who have that quality... to quote james coburn in the magnificent seven: "no - you lost." deal with it. |

it seems like a pile of crap. foisted off by an single, cowardly entity of limited intellect and close to zero knowledge. |

6 potatoes a minute - but i'm thinking of going electric. it's tough getting up in the morning and running all those potatoes through the grater manually.
i hear there's some new-fangled way to use GPUs (Grate Potato Unlocker) to get it done quicker. anybody know anything about that?
i do like my breakfasts...

Mining botnets?
Can you see how useful bitcoin is for people! We actually will improve security of residential computers en masse. This is because now hapless users will have much better chance to notice that something is wrong with their computer and it eats CPU and electricity. Thus they will secure it.
useful indeed. by 2030 or so we may have brought 30-40% of the population of the world into the 21st century. which is a helluva lot better than we did with the 20th, by the time 1930 rolled around - and people were still emulating ancient roman emperors bringing in massive blocks of ice to cool their homes and food (while electric light bulbs dangled from their ceilings). the power of money... |

I don't have prints there anymore.
I just realized, this could be valuable information.  took you eight minutes longer than me.  |

y'know something/ this could be a future possibility - and handled correctly, i can't say that i'd mind. i'd even contribute some CPU cycles.
i mean, who mines with their CPU? it ain't costing you Bitcoin.
so think about this: you go to a website, and you are presented with two checkboxes:
1.) click here if you would like to view this website with 16 blinking ads on every page - the advertisers pay us so we can continue to exist.
2.) click here if you would like to view this website without a single ad - but we will use a little bit of your CPU to generate the income we need to exist.
which box would you click?

My mining rigs have kicked the breaker in my house once, but beyond that I don't have any scary mining stories.
Hardware stories though?
Once I was replacing the thermal paste on my CPU, I got some thermal paste on my hand and didn't wash it off. (That's a BIG mistake depending on what type of thermal paste...)
I now have a permanent chemical burn on my hand from CPU thermal paste...
Any skin I have that grows over the burn dies at a very accelerated rate, it looks like psoriasis.
did you go to the doctor for that? Nah, I didn't go to a doctor, I went over the affected area with a razor blade as soon as I realized it was burning, to get out the skin and chemicals. I washed off what I could, and I tried to cut the chemicals out of my skin, but I didn't get all of it. I don't have prints there anymore. It's on the right side of my right hand's index finger. really? interesting. what brand of thermal paste, and what was the formulation: silver? zinc? how long did it stay on your skin? how long have the prints been gone? much pain? |

When I run ./DiabloMiner-YourOS.sh -u youruser -p yourpass (with the proper fields completed) I get this error: Error: Can't connect to Bitcoin: Connection refused I'm running Natty on Kubuntu, any ideas on how to solve this? are you connecting to a pool, or to a local Bitcoin client mining solo? I'm solo. so you run ./bitcoind, and in the ~/./bitcoin/bitcoin.conf file you set rpcuser=username, and rpcpassword=userpassword - and then you use those same credentials in the command line invocation of DiabloMiner (not your operating system credentials)? with nothing else in the .conf file? |

i've gotten a couple of fingertip owies from unshrouded fans, and a knuckle cut from the sharp edge of an internal drive cage.
i also lost a shirt cuff button when i inadvertently closed a case on it. i liked that button, dammit.

Rule 1. Don't use red highlights.
...he sez, with a flaming red sig. heh. |

sure.
run it persistently off a TrueCrypt encrypted volume on a thumbdrive. you'll never let the Bitcoin client touch an unencrypted volume.
