If there are still 4 for sale, is the price now negotiable given the new 'bloody Antminer' price? Smiley

Thanks

open you eyes and look who starts lol.....

or use the ignore button... first time in a forum?

and please tell your wife what she had to do, not me lol... mein führer

Your logical fallacy is ad hominem.

Also, please kindly refrain from trolling further, as 2 people have already shown support for my statement. Thank you.

823  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Why allow blocks in the past? on: March 13, 2014, 10:49:11 PM
Otherwise a minority of miners could trivially force the timestamps maximally far in the future... which then pushes everyone up against the local time limit, and would potentially require a centeralized source of time to avoid being constantly orphaned.

Thanks for the answer.

More broadly regarding the issue of selfish mining, are the core devs thinking about fixing it somehow in the future with something like enforcing timestamps with some tolerance and rejecting blocks that have been withheld, or any other means?

You have just been sent a personal message by giorgiotheclown on Bitcoin Forum.

IMPORTANT: Remember, this is just a notification. Please do not reply to this email.

The message they sent you was:

niemand nimmt dich ernst idiot! zieh leine du verdammter betrüger!

Which translate "no one takes you seriously idiot! pulling leash you fucking cheater!"

Have the courage to insult me publicly COWARD!

visit me frogeater! you are the coward! are you zefir? which cames at the same time online or what?

You are really becoming annoying. Please stop.

And there's way too much noise in this thread. Bitmine.ch you should lock it again with a pointer to a new self-moderated thread, where everyone is welcome to talk about progress and useful things. Haters are welcome to create another thread to collect their hate. Then everyone is fine and people like me don't have to scroll through all the troll stuff to find useful info about shipping progress. Thanks.

Same here, welcome back.

So I guess the schedule is now

  • resurrect a listing from btct
  • check addresses
  • pay dividends
  • buy back shares?
  • profit? Roll Eyes

Probably ASIC-able? SHA-3 way way easier than scrypt. In fact it's pretty much the same as the old bitcoin sha2. Now whether or not anyone thinks it's worthwhile to make a maxcoin sha-3 ASIC... well, probably not at this point.

Yes, indeed

I wish the alt-coins would just change scrypt slightly and thereby destroy all ASIC's. I mean it's fair if everyone can buy an ASIC but that's never the case.

Same here. It's already somewhat moving to scrypt n-factor which is good.

I personally don't really see the point of another ASIC algo like standard scrypt is becoming. And I'm saying this despite owning a GS3355 myself, as well as many Bitcoin ASICs. There is a market for CPU only *and* GPU only coins, IMHO.
827  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][MAX] MaxCoin - Alive and Kickin' on: March 10, 2014, 01:49:47 AM
I expect this coin to rise slightly and keep stronger than other coins, possibly even becoming eventually *the* preferred GPU coin, as scrypt ASICs are entering the scrypt mining market at fast pace (2000+ are shipping already in GBs).

SHA3 is probably ASIC-able but it will be long before interest is moving towards it. It could have beneficial results on the price at any rate.
828  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How much do YOU know about the Bitcoin Foundation? on: March 10, 2014, 01:19:01 AM
I hear it is run by criminals.

Not much more than that really.

FUD

The MK story was unfortunate for everyone. That said, the fall of Gox was only unexpected for the most gullible IMHO.

Anyway, MK is no longer part of the Bitcoin Foundation (and hasn't been proven a criminal yet either AFAIK)

And may I remind that Gavin Andersen, lead of the core devs, is employed and paid by the Bitcoin Foundation. Just saying.

Everyone can join the Bitcoin Foundation for a yearly fee that is currently about $30, if I'm not mistaken. It won't get you any superpowers, but you get access to a non-anonymous forum and get voting rights too.

Full disclaimer: I am a member of the Bitcoin Foundation

If you don't want to run a bunch of cpuminers, I have posted modified cgminer sources to allow LTC-only mode: https://github.com/dtbartle/cgminer-gc3355.

Any binaries for Windows available? Thanks!

I find your avatar offensive, rude and disgusting.

You should be banned or at least have your avatar deleted.

You must have a strong western post-WWII cultural bias

On a side note, it's been impossible to change/remove avatars here for months
831  Economy / Securities / Re: [BitFunder] Moving Forward/Resolution Process on: March 02, 2014, 11:30:14 PM
Bad trust ratings for Danny sure....but not for Ukyo?

It does me laugh a bit. Steals millions, hardly anyone cares, Jon Montroll doesn't even have a negative trust rating.  I gave him a negative trust rating a few months ago, and I think, one other guy. Isn't that weird.

Again I wonder if he paid off a lot of users because I just can't fathom why so few people seem to be upset that this thief took their money.

My bad trust rating for Jon / Ukyo is already 2 months old.

As for Danny, he replied to my PM yesterday. Basically he used sarcasm to tell me that it would be unfair to give him negative feedback because he just wanted to help. I replied that it was totally not the point, sarcasm is inappropriate and that he just either has to keep his word or say that he's no longer involved. As simple as this. Waiting for follow-up.
832  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Share your experience on RAM/GPU ratio on: March 02, 2014, 10:52:24 PM
I have come to the conclusion that the amount of system RAM required heavily depends on

  • Thread concurrency
  • Number of GPUs

I have also come to the conclusion that the system RAM is only required to create the kernel code that cgminer then transfer to the GPUs. In other words, once the kernels are built, you no longer need the system RAM *until* you change whatever parameter in cgminer that affects the kernel, then cgminer will need the RAM again to re-build the kernel.

I may be totally wrong though, asked and still looking for certainty about cgminer and system RAM requirements. Given that CK has now totally removed GPU support from cgminer, I didn't ask him directly (as doing so might be perceived uninformed/trollish)
833  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: 8 or 10 decimal places?? on: March 02, 2014, 10:42:24 PM
Why do some places show 8 decimal places for bitcoin and some show 10? I thought 8 was the max it was going to at the present time?

Noob question i know, sorry!

Consider the following: you can set a USD price like "9.99 cent a minute" for some service, but it doesn't mean that you can actually pay that amount of 0.0999 USD without first rounding it to 0.1 or something.

It will only make sense if you use the service for, say, 1000 hours, so 1000*0.0999 = 99.9 USD

Just my 1.99 cent Wink
834  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: 2 BFL 60G/Hs Singles for Sale on: March 01, 2014, 07:11:21 AM
The official price of an Antminer S1 is 1.37BTC right now (180 GHS nominal hashrate)

The power consumption per GHS of BFL 55nm is about 2.5x higher than the S1 (5W vs 2W)

This makes your second hand miners almost 10 times more expensive per GHS than brand new ones, and 2.5x more expensive in power usage. You should revise your offer or get ready to be called names. Just saying.

Cheers
835  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: You have 10 Bitcoin, how do you store them? on: February 28, 2014, 07:31:37 PM
Up to 30 BTC I will store them in an encrypted wallet on my local machine (Multibit)

Over 30 BTC, I would use cold storage with a paper wallet, but I'm not trusting online paper wallet generators. Instead, I'm using Multibit as well, exporting private keys, printing them out and then wiping out the data from my wallet. When re-importing the private keys, I am using an OCR software after scanning the paper (so no QR code involved in my cookbook)

My best and trusted friend that I've known since high school is keeping a copy of keys in case of death of total destruction event.
836  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Tigerdirect is now accepting bitcoin!!! on: February 28, 2014, 07:23:36 PM
works for me, ya

Thanks for reporting, I'm obviously 'collateral damage' in a wider ban.

I sent an e-mail to their customer care regarding the issue.
837  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Tigerdirect is now accepting bitcoin!!! on: February 28, 2014, 07:08:25 PM
I've been trying to access TigerDirect.com for 48 hours now, always getting this:

Code:
Access Denied

You don't have permission to access "http://www.tigerdirect.com/" on this server.
Reference <some_ref_here_variable_with_each_request>

I thought my IP was blacklisted for some reason (previous DHCP leaser was compromised and DDoSing or something alike), but I have tried from a different ISP and I'm still getting the same. Even when proxying from Google Translate, same error (translated...).

According to their Twitter everything is OK for them.

Both IPs that I used were from Switzerland, but if they were geo-locating and rejecting foreign IPs for some reason, I would expect to be redirected to some service page instead of a plain 403 Forbidden page.

So any ideas why I can't access their website? Can you?

Edit: tried from a Rackspace IP using one of my VPS, it works from there.
838  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Gridseed 5 Chip Cells on: February 28, 2014, 06:59:20 PM
I will try again the version that I compiled on Linux, now that the 'hardware issues' have been solved and it's hashing fine on Windows.

Unfortunately, my new attempt confirms that the cpuminer from gridseed's github doesn't seem to get any shares from the silver unit (while the Windows compiled version from LightningAsic works).

If you need to stay on Linux, I would attempt either the VM or Wine route for now
839  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Gridseed 5 Chip Cells on: February 28, 2014, 06:51:45 PM
So is it not yet possible to run the 5-chip units under linux then?  Does any linux miner software exist?  I compiled the gridseed github minerd and got the same issues:

Code:

Don't worry too much about it, if you read my later posts and follow this topic, you will see that the modified CPUMiner works with silver units, although you may face several difficulties like others and I did.

I will try again the version that I compiled on Linux, now that the 'hardware issues' have been solved and it's hashing fine on Windows.

By the way, the output above is normal, you may want to leave it running for a couple of minutes to see if any shares are found and sent back to the pool (look for such lines in the log)

Code:

Notice that minerd always reports '0.00 khash/s' which is misleading - it's just unable to report the hashrate.
840  Economy / Securities / Re: [BTC-TC] Deprived Mining Speculation (DMS) on: February 27, 2014, 08:15:45 PM
Mmm. I wouldn't invite someone I don't know personally to join the advisory board of my new startup.

Indeed. But she seems almost as out of reach as Deprived, besides the timid sign of life.

Best case scenario: both eventually return to business and fix things. As far as I'm concerned, I'm a very forgiving person when someone admits his mistakes and requests a second chance to do better. (Mark K is disqualified though, unless there is a real conspiracy against him that gags him, but that would sound more like the Ukyo song right now)

Worst case scenario*: both are the same person and it was just a basic runner / scam (but funds untouched Huh still makes no sense until they are)

Weirdest case scenario: both are the same person because he or she is schizophrenic or something... (semi j/k)

* assuming no one has died or ended up in jail, though he probably still could give a sign by proxy in the latter case
