the best type of LoJackish tracker is one that looks like it is part of the equipment. gut a cell phone with gps and make it look like part of the box and always on. then the powers that be could ping it for it's location.
Yeah, this is exactly what I meant. Something that looked like it was just another part of the machine, but actually sending out the location. Gutting a cell phone is a good idea, although would be hard to keep it powered up unless you could hook up a rechargeable battery to the PSU, so it would always be juiced up. just about every PC has a battery to keep the clock running. |

feel free to send me your uselesss ASICs  |

you can always use then to make your own alt-coin

if you are looking to make money, get a job, invest in the stockmarket, play the horses. If just want to mine, then yes it is worth it.

12 measly GB is too much to handle? 1999 called, they want their disk space back.  12 GB are not measly by any means. And with the current rate of it's growth... Bitcoin is meant to be "portable", and blockchain feels like a ballchain around your leg. In a world where multi-terabyte hard drives are available for a few $100.00, yes 12 gig is measily. |

Interesting chart. It appears that the Bitcoin hashing network is the most powerful distributed supercomputer on the planet by far...
yes, absolutely. but very dumb supercomputer indeed. edit: well, not dumb. just not a supercomputer but a "dedicated solver"  we roll dice REALLY well. world's largest and/or fastest psuedorandom number generater? <256 bits every 10 minutes isn't exactly quick (you can't count the leading 0s since they are predetermined) every hash is a psuedo-random number regardless if it is used or not. at least in my opinion. People here tend to focus on what we are doing and not what else could be done. Largest maybe, but certainly not the fastest. |

Too bad cgminer doesn't show average shares per minute (hint hint).
My rule of thumb is - if a minute's worth of shares fit in the terminal display, I'm okay.
what if you resize your display? |

Today i got a Plugable 7 Port Hub and a Rosewill 10 port hub today. Although the Rosewill claims 4 amps, i couldn't get more then 6 Sticks to mine. and it wouldn't even let me daisy chain another Hub in the unused ports. The Plugable on the other hand will power 7 Sticks with no problem. as others have said the ports are too close together to put erupters side by side. My solution was these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007X82ZPA/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1they will fit between two erupters perfectly. Be wary shopping for these, they are as low as .01 each but they make it up on shipping costs. yeah, it raises per port cost but it is a neat, clean solution. I prefer only using 1 hub per port on the PC, so my next thing to do is see if a 5 port PCI-e card that came with windows drivers on a cd will play nice on a linux machine with no cd player. |

The site had a good start and everything was going great, but after a ddos attack, few have returned.
Is there anyone out there that might be able to mine with us?
I would be happy to add any features.
If running a successful pool was easy, everyone would do it. Just hang in there and hope for the best. |

why would anyone use those small block erupters. aren't they pretty well useless in these days of 400gh miners? 300mh isn't jack snuff..........
nothing below about 60gh will mine anything above 1btc per day, 30/.5btc, taking into coincideration for electricity, etc, it isn't worth it. and that is going down in a hurry.
By the end of the year, those 300mh erupters will be nothing more than shooting targets (for distance.....really nice at 100Yds, for target practice. and the price will never pay for itself.
at 300mh it would take a year or more to pay for 1 erupter at 150 bucks.
Why would anybody ask that question? it has been done to death. Trolling? |

I have a question about the ASICminer blades and this pool. I read that the blades needed a Stratum Proxy. Is this because they use Getwork? and if so, could they be aimed at the "not reccomended" Getwork servers here and forgo the Proxy?  Yes, they can, but there's a reason getwork is not recommended. As posted earlier, there is currently a plan to get rid of getwork entirely in the next month or so.  so proxy is the only way to go huh. I think my head is gonna explode. Anyone know if home routers play nice with computers that demand a specific IP address? I saw a link on how to do this, but my luck hasn't been great lately. |

Since I have no search-fu, i'll ask here. does anyone know the dimensions of the Old Blade? I'm trying to figure out how to hold the one i'm getting. I'm thinking that a mini milkcrate might work.

For me, it is the Hobby aspect... and an addiction to seeing my hashrate constantly increase. |
|
|
|
Difficulty is up to 50mil now  no big deal. the hashrate that caused that has been affecting you for days. |

100th->200th would make these retail miners less valuable - sigh
it'd be nice for a discount or price drop based on this - we'll see
Fact of Bitcoin life. the Hasrate is going to increase. whether it is here or else where. If that extra 100 wasn't applied here it would be sold to someone else. The only thing that will slow down the hashrate growth is people running out of money to buy more hashers. |

considering that they would be in hand in Sept i would max pay BTC18 per Gh
did you really mean Gigahash? You can buy erupters today at 1.8BTC per GH(roughly) |
