No problem, just PM me if the need arises again.

I'm quite familiar with Ultiboard and related tools, willing to do this for .5 BTC. Could I know more details as to how many layers the PCB will be and the types of vias allowed(buried Vias are a pain to fabricate in some cases). I can export to gerber. Could you link to the ebay page on those riser cables?

Can my name be updated in order to reflect my having paid the transaction?

If the satellite(s) are not in geostationary orbits it would not allow one party or group to disable its entire operation--just for a given region, unless they had transmitters around the world. Of course, such a system would give a good period of downtime per region. Only one satellite cannot cover the entire Earth at a time, and if the satellite is the only communication method the "trickle of data" would be lost leading to potential blockchain splits.

Are you sure the private key is valid? It should be long and start with a 5. For example:

Yes. Like a password, you can try every possible single change that would result in a valid private key being output. One of those will eventually be the right one.

In that if people can micro-mine without fees, then they won't want to go to a fee-ridden pool. People (in my personal experience) would want to get their money aside from a large sort of "pool" or company if they can get the same amount equally stably.

If the ground station were to go down then a blockchain split could occur. Multiple ground stations and an open design for same would be beneficial.

1. ASIC is a special mining device that mines faster because it's designed to mine, and only mine.

2. A video card is a graphics card.

3. 350 khash/sec is way too slow for bitcoins. You also need to make an account on a mining pool to send coins to/from, for example on slush's pool. Then just input the login settings into guiminer.

Just mine on a GPU just like most others are doing. If you can't set up Guiminer with a pool, bitcoin may not be for you until you understand the system a bit more.

Another note: Mining on the phone is probably a lost cause. On the laptop, I'd mine litecoin as you wouldn't be competing against as many large ASIC miners.

Yes, something along that line.

Incentive for people to mine off-pool. One would actually get more on average from mining transactions than from block generation.

Why would you even need a 1x->16x riser on a 16x slot? The point of said riser is to allow a 16x GPU on a 1x slot so putting it there would be nearly useless.

As for power, you're likely not going to burn anything but you may experience GPUs going offline, undervoltaging (on crap PSUs), or shutdowns due to insufficient power. I'd make sure you have a sufficient GPU and fully connect all power connectors to the GPUs from the PSU.

Wrong forum for this. Ask in meta.

Anyway, I gather that scamming/spamming or other poor "habits" were often being combined with multiple accounts on one IP so the rule was put in place to limit or slow such negative actions.

First of all, I see this from my point of view as a cryptographic experiment at best, for now. Second, it aims to solve the issue of mining pools growing to sizes that could cause danger for the network, such as a potential 51% attack mounted, or other problems that can be caused by accidental or deliberate wrongdoings by a large pool.

What programming language? ANy more details other than "I want a casino"?

This is a poor coding style in the original upstream, IMHO. Not that I'm a C++ developer by any means, I just hate these bugs in Java development.

Sent you a PM, thanks for replying!

That's not necessarily the way it works. No matter which nonce you try, in the end you're goingto have a similar mining success at the same speed.

Imagine buying lottery tickets, and the tickets only having one number to match. Let's say you start buying a ticket each second. No matter how you select these tickets you're going to have the same chance, whether 1, 2,3,4,5..., 2,4,6,8,... 1,2,3,5,8,13,... assuming the same speed.

No number is inherently "more random" or "better".

What about making this a community work? Everybody who wants writes a chapter while there's still room and proceeds are shared in some way or another? I'd rather not write a whole book but a few chapters would be perfect for my schedule.
