Submerging your gear in oil actually works pretty well. But there's one downside. Forget about ever salvaging or reselling that gear. Once you dip that stuff in mineral oil, you will never get it all off.
Thanks, I never knew that. Do you guys think mineral water could cool a card as powerful as a 7970? Or will it overheat? |

I am keeping my GPUs and my whole rig intact. We are going to see a rise in gaming and a fall in productivity among the Bitcoin community XD

My friend bought the 256mb version when it came out and got it within around 2 weeks from element14.

Wow they look very sleek! It's amazing there is no fan needed even considering the low power/high ghash usage. |

Thanks for cancelling your order......LOL. One less to delay my order.
And less difficulty :p |

What do you guys think is up with the Bitcoin rise? We just hit 25,000 Ghash, up from 20,000 Ghash just 2 months ago. I'm not making as much coins now  |

I can't see any president ever supporting Bitcoin. But who cares, bitcoin is by the people and for the people.

I suggest just sending them to mtgox, but make sure your account has google authentication. I have been hacked of 5 coins before authenticator was available.

There is also Christmas coming up and new ASIC that people are investing in.
Christmas is an aspect. I've bought one gift already with bitcoin and have plans for a few more. I've only been involved in Bitcoins for a year now, but I bought about 1/3 of last years presents with BTC. The difficulty was quite literally 1/3 of what it is today. Yeah I used to make like 1.3 btc a day with my quad 7970 rig, now I only make .8 :/. What seems to be driving up the difficulty? |

I think you're better off solo mining for about a week if you're the first to receive an ASIC SC have a decently sized portion of the Bitcoin network. But once everyone else gets their ASICs, you will have a smaller chance of mining coins.

I mine on Eclipse, it has been great, although the US server has gone down twice in 2 months. No biggie, I just switch to the EU server and it's all good. My first pool was Slush, then Deepbit, now Eclipse.

I actually don't mind the delay, more time mine with my Quad 7970 rig  |

Best cooled/quiet 7970 is a watercooled 7970 XD

I pay $0.09/kwh. I use about 1050watts with my quad 7970 watercooled rig. I noticed the watt usage drops to 1KWh when I dust out the fans, keeping the system cooler and more power efficient. I just have to get some more air dusters soon XD.

Haha nice! How long did it take you to carve out the troll face?

Where do you get these anyway?

Hey guys, I need a 400$ Dwolla loan. I am going to buy shares in a glbse.com IPO that opens the 14th, but a transfer from my bank to my Dwolla will be complete around Monday or Tuesday of next week. I can pay back 415$ then, I just would rather give the fee opportunity to someone here, than say bitinstant. Now that I think about it, I could pay back today via PayPal gift, let me know whichever way is best.
Thank You!
Josh
