A Brief History of Business
Before Bitcoin gained popularity - my Team was involved in Ecurrency Exchange.
We've built a beautiful application from scratch - in Java - spending close to *PRIVATE* completing it.
The development took over 2 years to complete - with a team of 6-8 Programmers.

A few weeks before the deadline and launch date of our Ecurrency Exchange system, Liberty Reserve got cracked down.
Approx. 2 weeks after LR got cracked down, my partner was going through some severe health complications which made it even more difficult to shift gears and proceed.

I remember pulling my hair and thinking to myself: "Whoa what now? I cannot allow this Project to be thrown in a BIN!"

And after the April 2013 Bitcoin boom, my plan became crystal clear: To revamp the "Ecurrency Exchange" system into a Crypto-Currency ONLY Exchange System.
--

After April - I have been praying that my Partner would recover from his illness. He did not. Till today he is unable to participate.
As I believe Business Continuity is of utmost importance for any successful Service - finding a solid Partner is currently my no. 1 Priority.

Thus to complete the project - I am looking for a Partner in (preferably) Singapore.

What has to be done?
The Project has already been fully developed for (Instant) Ecurrency Exchange - we would only need to (simply said):
- Revamp the Front-End
- Partly Revamp the Trading Engine / Back-End system.

To finish the project - it would only require an estimated 2-3 months of development.
We could launch around Q2 2014.
We would mainly focus on the South-East Asian market - mostly covering Singapore - Malaysia - Indonesia - etc.

Interested? Read the Requirements below!

What is required in order to become a Partner?
- You live in Singapore (or very near)
- You have been involved in the Virtual Currency space for at least 3 years.
- You have expert level knowledge of CryptoCurrency and it's Market.
- You have high experience in (IT) Project Management
- You have experience in Marketing / Branding / Copywriting etc.
- You speak fluent English (better than me! haha) and atleast 1 extra language. Preferably Chinese, Malay and/or Indonesian.

The more skill - the better!

If you believe you are the perfect Partner to finish and launch a Crypto-Currency based Exchange Project - please send me a PM or add me on Skype
Skype addy: "ExchangeKey".

Will test this one later tonight on my test rig!

I'd say, wait until they confirm shipping before giving them (more) money!
They are starting to look fishy though -- they've made to many (false) estimates/promises.
Only time can tell if they will deliver (again).

Hmm, good to know. Thanks!

Use proper cooling!!! The better the cooling, the longer your Graphics Card will last.

I wouldn't try to go beyond 3 cards with 1050w, wouldn't be stable.
4 cards would mean pushing the PSU to a level of load which would only result in failure.
Also, PSU's tend to get less efficient as they age.

3 cards it is!

Yes - be patient, the market is way to volatile currently.

^ Same!

Correct!
The MB is very important for mining rigs - preferably go for an Extended ATX MB with 5-7 PCI-E buses.
The PCI-E bus speed does not matter. The CPU does not matter. Memory, also - does not matter.
What matters is the GPU(s) (and GDDR for Litecoin).

A quality MB, PSU and proper cooling is advisable though!
All the best.

Why would one sell Bitcoin for Fiat right after a Mt. Gox Fueled Panic Sell-Off?

I believe Bitcoin HOLDING to even 50$ currently (and climbing), while crashing from 266$ a few days back(yes, to a 50$ low), shows the immense popularity and interest in BTC.
As soon as a few high net-worth people invest a mere 1% of their capital into BTC - watch what will happen to the price!

Hold, and be patient. And do not invest more than 1-2% of your capital, for now. As we all know, Bitcoin is still Beta.
