LTC isn't very profitable but I enjoy it as well as the potential of being an early adopter if it takes off (or at least gains decent monetary value)
It won't, but your call. As long as the 1kW PSU isn't no-name, you should be alright. |

Hey, he did say it was a Windows based machine...  On a more serious note, up to 170W per a 5830 card, 150W for each 5850, 180W for a 100%-loaded 6 core Phenom (up to 270W when overclocked to 4.1 GHz), 20 for fans and drives... OP should have no less than 1kW of juice at the ready. Windows won't really impact power usage. (not that I'm recommending it!) Wattages will be slightly less if you underclock memory, which you should, but they will increase if you do serious core overclocking. Is it really profitable to Litecoin CPU mine? I don't know enough about scrypt mining to guess the hashrate for a Phenom II x6, but I doubt it would be all that profitable, if at all. |

so the message is stay away from this stock?
1. avoid at prices above 0.09
2. read carefully the bylaws what you're actually buying.
Until Glasswalker explains more, my recommendation would be not to buy, that is correct. If my assumptions were incorrect or he can satisfactorily answer my questions, I'll buy; I always think it's a good idea to support the Bitcoin economy. EDIT: He had indeed explained more, please continue reading and disregard my above statement. |

'bitstarter' is the CEO of BST , if you want any updates and any other info you can contact him.
I would assume he's reading this thread. I would PM him, but I think many people, not just me, would appreciate concrete information. We took it to PM and I spoke personally to BinaryMage. Hopefully, I re-assured him we are on the right track! I'll get more concrete information though. Edit ninja'd you!  Indeed, bitstarter was professional and seemed to have a clear concept of what needed to be done. Hopefully the site will be operational soon. |

Coming soon as in when? This has been "in the works" for months with no status updates with any concrete information. |

You need to set your miners to send mgpumon info to that address. In /etc/bamt/bamt.conf on both your miners, set "do_direct_status: " to the local (192.168.x.x) IP of the machine you set up port forwarding to. |

3. Your share assignment to the owners (bylaws section 4.1) seems a bit overdone. 0.18 BTC, at the time of registration of your domain name, February 9th, was equivalent (1 BTC ~ $5.60 USD) to $1 per Mhash. That would be perhaps a fair rate for FPGAs, but certainly not for GPUs. Even with extraneous parts like cases, you can easily get $0.75/MH, and with optimization, below $0.50/MH is possible. Seems to me like the rewards are a bit
overblown.
Read further... this is not a purchase of the hardware, the hardware is merely being LOANED! It is probably a crazy-high price to buy used gear, to pay it just to borrow the gear is what? Reasonable as lease of hashing costs more than outright buying used gear? Crazier because buying used gear might be a lot cheaper depending on how much it costs to maintain it? If the gear fails, do the founders it is being leased from guarantee to replace any missing MHashes by for example leasing some elsewhere at their own expense to make up the shortfall? This kind of plan could be a great way to put some used FPGA gear on a local market for easy convenient purchase, notice the founders can force the thing to shut down and sell its assets (which do not include the initial hardware, which is merely leased/"loaned") for the founders to pick up cheap without even shipping costs... I want to put together a shares setup for buying FPGA gear but I certainly don't plan on this kind of piracy, heck I didn't even imagine for a moment one would have any chance of getting away with it, as in actually selling any shares. How gullible *are* the buyers on GLBSE? -MarkM- You are indeed correct; thanks for pointing that out. I had simply assumed the price was for purchasing, because it was listed as "this rate is calculated based on the average "street price" of building a mining rig at the time of the formation of the syndicate". Rather deceptive. With that in mind, glasswalker, you have some serious explaining to do before you release shares. |

Splirow, it works like a hotel room...you dial 410 on the phone and get room 410. but if you dial 410 from home it will not work. so you need the hotels telephone number...when you call the telephone number you ask the guy at the front desk to connect you to room 410. so there are 2 kinds of ip addresses, the ones in the building, that pc's use to talk to each other, and outside the building, just like the phone numbers. so when you call the hotel, you must ask the guy to transfer you to the room, same wih the ip address...you must get the outside ip address to transfer you to the right pc. in order to do this you need to forward a port to that pc, or to your main pc you use at work. the pc at work should have a static ip address. if you look at the site: http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm find your router and follow the instructions... if this is too complicated go to logmein.com register and choose the free option. not the trial, the free one...then add yur pc at work, and you can log into it from anywhere as long as you have an internet connection. Ok, I got it working on 1 of them My farm has 2 rigs. Do i have to setup port forwarding to both? or just 1? thanks Well, you can have your router forward another port and change the SSH port on the other rig. That requires editing some configuration files. Alternatively, SSH into your first rig and then SSH from that to the second one using the local (192.168.x.x) address. |

the problem is that .com .net and .org are taken
and a website with an .us is way better than for example .to etc
by the way don't you think they will take down .org .com and .net, too if they like to do so
Do they have the capability to take down any domain? Yes. Do they have clear legal jurisdiction to do so? No, at least in my opinion. .com, .net, and .org are not under clear legal control. .us is. That's the difference. More my problem with it is the misrepresentation, though. If you do not like the other non-nationally affiliated options (.co & .biz are perfectly acceptable) at least choose a nationally affiliated one that does not misrepresent your location. .de or .eu are both available. |

What's wrong with a .us domain?
Well, three things. 1. The US has definite control of .us domains. When Congress wants to censor the internet, giving them control over your domain is questionable. 2. Why would you want to show any sort of national allegiance? 3. .us domains are supposed to represent companies in the US. Your domain was registered in Germany.

I would like to hear your opinion on the design of my website: http://www.bitcoinauction.us/I am not sure which styling option I should use for the Prize and the Highest bid To change the style click on the copyright message at the bottom of the site Well, I must admit, using a .us domain entirely mystifies me. Nor do I understand why anyone would participate in this type of auction. If you want my vote, I prefer "฿ + buttonlike", but I wouldn't use green, it doesn't fit with your color scheme. |

Ok. I can see the web interface only with a computer under the same network (router) where my mining rig is, which is at my job. But if I go to my home, I cant see it. It does not load the page.
Did I do something wrong here?
No, you're fine. 192.168.0.xxx are local network addresses, meaning they will only work on a local network. If you must access it from outside, you can try the external IP. (Though unless you have dedicated IPs for your miners, I'm not sure if that works, I've never done it from outside my network) Run ifconfig, it's the number after "inet addr:" in the field "eth1:avahi" for my rig, Whatever IP that doesn't begin with 192.168 is probably it. Good luck! EDIT: I suppose I should have assumed you didn't have dedicated IPs. Forward port 22 on your router to the miner. |

Current Total Syndicate MHash: 5,274 MHash/s nice site but the numbers don't match how come? do you market speak or some maintenance going on? 5.8 GH/s now. I'm guessing there's some rounding going on. Glasswalker, though your post and website are both well-written, I feel they lack some essential concrete information. If you want investors in a project led by someone with (no offense) no reputation on these forums or IRC that I know of, you'll need to provide more details. A few points of note: 1. "We intend to do so much more". I appreciate broad-mindedness, but people want to know what they're investing in. A general statement of expanding beyond mining could indicate anything from beekeeping to car sales. You will not be able to sell shares if you do not tell people what else you plan to invest in. 2. "Our current forecasts". You mention transparency as one of your main goals, yet nowhere on your post or site can I find these "forecasts". This smells a bit fishy. You cannot be "open, transparent, and honest" while concealing financial growth predictions. 3. Your share assignment to the owners (bylaws section 4.1) seems a bit overdone. 0.18 BTC, at the time of registration of your domain name, February 9th, was equivalent (1 BTC ~ $5.60 USD) to $1 per Mhash. That would be perhaps a fair rate for FPGAs, but certainly not for GPUs. Even with extraneous parts like cases, you can easily get $0.75/MH, and with optimization, below $0.50/MH is possible.

If you have any questions, feel free to bug me (DrG only). I've been using Linux since I was 12. The Unix design is beautiful, and is not just the best model for computing, it teaches you much about sharing limited resources between agents with disparate goals.
Indeed it is. The biggest thing I noticed when I started using Linux/Unix is how well-written it was. Sure, it may not have been as friendly as fancy Microsoft GUIs, but the OS had excellent, comprehensive documentation built in, incredible tools for system administration, and worked cohesively in a way Windows, with its layers of increasingly obsolete non-documented code and nonsensical elements like the registry, never could. Switch to Linux, you won't regret it. As for what to start with, Ubuntu, Fedora, and Mint are likely the easiest "switch from Windows" distributions. When you're ready for something a little more challenging, try Arch, Gentoo, or FreeBSD. (If you want to learn server administration, CentOS or FreeBSD are by far the best options) I'm also glad to offer any advice, to anyone. I am no Linux expert, but I do know my way around. |

Has anyone been running cgminer 2.2.x with BAMT? I'm still getting random OFF GPU's through 2.2.6 (just installed 2.2.7 to test) and I'm wondering if it's just something I'm doing wrong.
probably just the typical cgminer bugs. I haven't pushed out any new versions in fixes because it seems ever since 2.2.X they haven't been able to release a stable version. very much recommend to use phoenix. much more stable. Speaking of, do you plan on implementing Phoenix v2 when it's released? I'm not sure if it would post any speed gain; seems it just adds many features BAMT had already... |

Wow, I get 600 kbps downloading the test file here.  An awesome amount when you compare it against less than 50bps (BITS per second!) that I get when downloading MomentoVPS' test file. Go VPS Squared! Glad you like it, I got a report of 450KB/s from Sydney too. Here is a picture of the VPS host, some of you may be interested   That white envelope guides air away from the intake, a lot actually goes out the back like that. It lowered the temps quite a bit for just having it there, looking into more solutions...That would be free... That is a PSU brand I have not seen before, but I guess I won't worry as long as it works... |

Thanks....
What settings you have on 5970?
I run my 5870s at 1000/300, but you couldn't hit that on a 5970 without phase-change or liquid nitrogen. 820 is fine for core, you might be able to get it to 850. Take your memory down to 300. (Unless that crashes it; it shouldn't) |
