If you still have them I'll take one.
If you don't I still sent you the $2.00
Why? Because I'm CrAzY tOo and like throwing money around.

7683  Economy / Computer hardware / [WTS] Lot of Avalon 2 Project Stuff on: August 08, 2014, 07:54:33 PM
8 Hashing baords, Some work fine others have blown fuses, bad / missing capacitors. Some capacitors have been replaced poorly. Just set it up to test getting ~ 130GH

Looking for BTC0.1 for all 8 shipped in the USA.

Edit on Sat the 9th @ 12:30 -- Since a lot of people have asked for other stuff.

For BTC0.175 (shipped to USA) I will include the 8 boards as described, the system control unit, the power distribution module, the connectors for modules, etc. You would need to get the heatsinks & power supplies & cables.

For BTC0.2 you get all the above and the cables and heatsinks. The heatsinks are heavy, the BTC0.025 is not going to me but rather just into shipping.

Below is a picture of one of the modules, some look better, others look worse. Will have more pictures sometime this weekend.

7687  Economy / Economics / Re: The light bulb conspiracy. Planned obsolescence. on: July 15, 2014, 05:15:20 PM

I just did a quick check on SubZero's website out of curiosity.  One of their refrigerators costs over $16,000.  You can buy a new car for not much more than that - a 2014 Honda LX Manual costs $18,390.  I can't imagine anyone who isn't a  multimillionaire spending that much money on a refrigerator.


But that's the issue. Good stuff costs a lot more up front, but less down the road. OK, the fridge is an *extreme* example, but since I found the receipt while cleaning out my friends parents house it serves a point (which is why I posted in here). In 1975 they bought 2 refrigerators. One was a cheap (sub $150) GE the other was a $2600 (car price in 1975) built in SubZero.
The SubZ still works fine almost 40 years in. Don't know how many of the low priced GE / Whirlpool / Kenmore / etc. they went though in the same 40 years but I know it was at least 4. Don't know how much food they lost when the cheap ones died. Don't know how much time & effort they spent shopping for the other ones. But it's still a number. Just paid out a bit at a time over 40 years instead of all at once in the beginning.

Well all the household appliances my parents bought in the 70s and 80s have gradually been dying.  Each appliance lived a minimum of 25 years.  Some items like our refridgerator we will not replace because even thought the newer ones would use less electricity ultimately buying a new one would harm the environment more since manufacturing a new one uses an insane amount of power and creates a lot of waste byproduct.  If a new fridge used 1/10 of the power it would be a no brainer but for 30% more efficiency I'm not willing to buy something that will break after 3 months.

The Samsung fridge I bought for my house did have a water drain clog and fail at exactly 1 year and 4 days.  This is why I bought the extended warranty.  Which normally I would consider a waste but household appliances at least seemed to be made to self destruct just after the warranty.

It's quite sadly really.  In an age with laser capable of measuring tolerances no human eye could see and capable of catching manufacturing defects that lazy engineering is making such waste.  Th government shouldn't be passing carbon taxes onto the consumer. They should punish companies based on failure rates  Wink

The issue (with a lot of appliances) is that people don't want to pay.
Want a good fridge, very efficient, reliable, built solid and looks good (IMO). Get a SubZerohttp://www.subzero-wolf.com/ and be ready to pay for it.

Same with dish washers. A good Bosch or Miele is wayyy more money then a base GE. And you will get 30+ years out of it. But you can get 5 base GE models and replace them every 7 years for less money.

Would you have any interest in a pair of Hex16A2 and a chili also?
In addition to the stuff above I have the Cube & Blade that you are looking for and the U1 & U2 also.

I don't want to split the stuff up. It's going to take the better part of an evening to go into the storage area, pull the miners, make sure they work (all did a few months ago) and box & ship them so I am doing it once or not at all.

Let me know if you want them.

Is the LOT/MEOW situation going to get any better?  I still have lots of these.

They were both removed from auto switching within a day of the market dying off.  But until there is some volume, it's going to be a while before they get unloaded.

We still had some MEOW blocks yesterday (edit & today).

The pool will get MEOW blocks because some users insist on manually mining them.  The auto switcher does not touch MEOW.

Gotcha, thx.

Also, R-Box is back in stock

With the BTCGarden if you don't get it with the RPI does it still come with the SD card and everything else you need to set it up? I have the official stack of Pi here and really don't need more....

7694  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [11000 TH] BTC Guild - Pays TxFees+NMC, Stratum, VarDiff, Private Servers on: July 01, 2014, 03:50:33 PM
Dev and IXC only add about 0.1% more to your profits and it's another coin you have to send to an exchange and then dump for Bitcoin (assuming you only want BTC).  I think the uptime and security affording by this pool and others like Bitminter and Elegius exceed the paltry add on of those coins.

Not counting uptime/security (unlikely to be affected), the real issue is extra load on the servers.  As you pointed out, DVC+IXC are virtually worthless.  I'm not even sure if they're 0.1% actually.  Adding extra coins to each pool server means each server will be wasting time accessing the SSDs/RAM for those coins, a few CPU cycles, and some bandwidth every time they get a block.  That will at least minimally impact bitcoind performance.  How much?  I can't say, and nobody else really can either.  But it is a non-0 impact, and for how worthless they are, I'm not willing to risk ANY performance for junk coins on BTC Guild.

I'm asking this because I don't know / understand not to be a pain:

Could they were on a physically separate server? With some of the databases I deal with 90%+ of the work is done on the main box 10% is done on other ones. The 10% does not "matter" it's what we term "live irrelevant data". It's for the programmers to use live data / connections to test work, if it all goes boom or lags behind no big deal the main database servers don't even know about it. The front end application servers here (I'm assuming the stratum servers for you) know about it and talk to it at the lowest priority, but if the test back end fails no big deal.

I don't know enough about the stratum protocol to know if that's even possible.

And no, I don't think it's worth the time to mine the other coins, but I do want to understand more.

Hi,

you used to have merged mining namecoin enabled quite some time ago. I recently logged in to your pool again (after not mining for a year or so) to see that not only merged mining is gone, but also the NMC that I never bothered to pay out are not mentioned anywhere.
What happened to them? It was not much at the time, if I remember correctly their worth was roughly 1% of the BTC I mined at your pool, which would still make it a nice amount nowadays.

Thanks

If you look back in this thread Inaba stopped the mining of NMC Jan 2013. At that time you could request your balance to be sent to you manually. I can't speak for the other forums but I don't think he checks in here more then once every few days.

With the above being said, why would you leave a balance sitting out there for 18 months? Heck, I don't like leaving any coins out there for 18 hours before I get it in my wallet.

State governments in the USA have been doing this just about forever.
They even have websites where you can go and get your money back.
http://www.osc.state.ny.us/ouf/index.htm
https://www.fltreasurehunt.org/
http://www.window.state.tx.us/up/

and so on. The federal government does it to:

http://www.usa.gov/Citizen/Topics/Government-Unclaimed-Money.shtml

It's not a big deal. At least here you have to have no transactions for 3 years and then the bank sends you a letter saying that if you don't respond in about 180 days the money will be passed to the state. All you have to do is sign the letter and mail it back and the 3 year clock starts again. Last I heard which was ~10 years ago less then 20% of the accounts get "reactivated".
