Bitfury full kit has been a fantastic failure for me (if i turn it on it can manage to get me 130 GH or so but should be able to get 400).
I've heard about issues with terraminers also being total piece-o-crap worthy.
I have a couple block erupters that died out but the bulk of them are probably still okay if I ran them.
6/7 boards on my bitfury are still running fine for me, but the unit is very sensitive to vibrations. do a power cycle, and then back away quickly so its not disturbed when running  My first August MBP Bitfury rig is still running very stable at its original 0.69 J/Gh. The newer ones that came volted higher have already started self-destructing a number of H-cards and M-boards. |

The whole bitcoin is open source. If there is such a major flaw, you should let them know, and by them I mean the devs. It's no good reason to hide it, someday someone else will find it out eventually.
The OP title is probably misleading when posted in this sub forum. If you read further you'll see that the security flaw is not in Bitcoin but in the company's procedures. |

I might be willing if it has a smaller memory footprint and higher performance than bitcoind. Of course it has to be open source that I can compile myself.
Can you recommend an alternative?
EDIT: Just to be clear, I am talking about the bitcoind part and the API. I don't give a rat's ass about the user interface piece (bitcoin-qt).

Bonus Neptunes ...  When? KnC doesn't deal with customers haven't you heard? They are on their own now...so I guess the bonus Neptune will never come. Well it seems like they are still happy to have us as customers for their 28nm crap, because I could still add the old chips to my cart. |

I know they can run on 2, I’m wondering if I could connect three to each miner or will it only work in arrangements of 2 or 4?
You could run on 3, but the load won't balanced across the 2 cards - one card will only have 1 cable powering it and that cable will have the highest risk of melting. You could buy PCI-e splitters and run 3x PCI-e cables (2 + 1-into-2) per S3 miner. That way you can balance out the odd cable across the 2 cards. |

But Applepay will "kill Bitcoin"! After all, it is Apple!

Any idea what types of miners may be susceptible?
Not cgminer. It doesn't use the FTDI driver for USB devices, we talk directly to USB devices ourselves. I remember that several versions of cgminer became unstable when the switch to libusb was made - zombied devices, etc. I guess in the end it was worth the effort. |

If the fans in people's computers started making a lot of noise I am sure they'd notice .... even without any antivirus software.

I have a newer SP30 that came with the Murata power supplies. The lower PSU cuts out on a weekly basis and the hash rate drops to 2TH/s requiring a power cycle to the PSU. I am on firmware 2.4.21.
Can I just replace the Murata's with Emerson DS1200's without changing anything else? I don't care about the warranty.

I am thinking of this idea.
You guys remember folding @ home?
What if we can make a crypto algo which also simulates the folding at no big additional effort?
So you can mine coins and contribute to mankind at the same time (as such contribution requires computer running and consuming power as well)
Personally I think providing security to a secure decentralized payment network is more useful to mankind than searching for intelligent life on other planets that probably doesn't exist. You must be thinking about SETI. folding@home folds proteins in an attempt to find a cure for Alzheimer's and cancer. I switched some old GPU miners over to folding in 2012. |

Does anybody "play the lottery" still with 1 or 2 GPUs? I keep one going just for the lols.
I've got an HD7770 tucked away in a host that is also running a database server. No point shutting it down since the marginal cost of the electricity is $0. |

Not to spread anti-environmentalism, but an obvious great market for this is people who have unmetered water.  That's the other side of the C1 - those who use large farm evapourative cooling can simply plumb in the C1 into their mains. Would swimming pool water corrode the water blocks? |

Whatever the market will allow.
Yes, whatever the market will bear is the fairest, assuming that there is no cartel of miners artificially keeping fees high. |

If you want to concern yourself with this kind of thing you'd be better of looking into the next halving of the block reward, which will happen in the immediate future.

 I see the continuation of lower highs & everytime we get to an extremely overbought situation like this, we get a sharp correction back to the mean! Looks like we will head back down to stay in this slow descending range we have been in all year. I just want to see what the perma bulls keep seeing as strength in the bitcoin chart... Why don't you add RSI and MACD to your chart? There is a bullish divergence on the price/RSI chart, and the MACD has clearly crossed over. We are no longer in the same downtrend from earlier this year. |

I think there is a flaw in your design. If the client is open source, why would I install your ponzi client instead of creating my own ponzi client and starting my own pyramid?

I certainly is more difficult to buy BTC now compared to the Gox pre-AML/Kentucky-Your-Chicken days. That is the problem with regulations. However, it is not that bad compared to before when there was an exchange. In early 2011 I remember having to drive to another state to buy coins from some guy on OTC for cash.

riiiising vs fallling, the clash of the titans.
No most likely someone with too much time on their hands who thinks trolling the message boards somehow fulfills a missing part in their lives really... Looks like the bear trolls' employment contracts are up and they've gone away. |
