Btc- e customers just got the email we needed!!
Hello dear customer,
due to the recent circumstances our website is permanently suspended, and we have been recieving complaints about the clients wallets destiny.
we want to assure you that we hired a trusty company that will retrieve your wallets, but considering the amount of the clients we have this process will take some time.
if you want to make your request with higher priority you should pay the company's fee which is 0,017 BTC............
make sure to send your username to our clients email : ................
Thank you for your understanding and for any more details we are more happy to help!
BTC-E Clients Support
Well I haven't received any type of notification like this and they don't post it up on their Twitter feed. Where did you receive this information from? Thanks I got the same email as CryptoBit1 quoted except it contained an address to send the 0.017 to. I've had an account at btc-e for a few years but didn't use it much until recently a little bit. I was just logging in the day the "maintenance" started to withdraw the 0.11 BTC I had there.  Anyway, I just got that fake email from "BTC-E Clients Support" this morning. It's obviously a scam, but I'm curious as to how they got my email. |

They probably did a ton of work to get those cities aboard but they could have been putting that into getting websites to use darker designs for a pledged amount of time and gotten more energy savings out of it.
This is not true anymore. CRT monitors use less energy to display black. LCD screens can actually use more energy to display black. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/fact-or-fiction-black-is/CRT monitors, which until a few years ago were the predominant models among PC users, consume more power when a computer screen is white. To confirm this, Schindler measured the energy output of an 18-inch (45.7-centimeter) CRT monitor and found it used 102 watts when the screen was white but only 79 watts when the display was black.
This is not the case, however, with LCD monitors, which have no phosphors and represent the lion's share of every new monitored purchased in the developed world, including those used by laptops. Instead, LCD displays rely on an array of thin-tube fluorescent bulbs that provide a constant source of light to create a white screen. To make it black, LCDs rely on a diffuser to block this light. As a result, LCDs use more energy than CRTs to display a black screen. Measuring a 17-inch (43-centimeter) LCD monitor, Schindler found that white required 22.6 watts, while black came in a tad higher at 23.2 watts. With a 20-inch (50.8-centimeter) LCD, black required 6 percent more energy than white. |

I don't know if I'm off topic, but I read somewhere (can't remember the article) that approximately the number of possible private keys is similar to the numer of atoms in the universe, and running a computer capable of cracking a private key would require the energy produced by a star...obviously there is always luck, but seems unlikely
I believe you're referring to the image posted at the beginning of this thread. |

My workers aren't connecting or are connecting sporadically as well. |

If this is strictly a mining rig, I would go with only one stick of RAM.

Can someone possibly explain why I can no longer mine on Slush's pool, is this error related to the DDOS? Im using GUIMiner with these flags ( -v -w 256 -f 40 ) on my HD7970. I get the below then it just hangs, I can mine my backup fine but since earlier today I cannot mine slush.

I have heard of police in the US using high electricity usage/high IR signatures to get a warrant for search. However unless they had another reason to look in your direction in the first place, that probably wouldn't happen. Also, unless you have a marijuana farm next to your mining farm, nothing would be confiscated.  |

Is there any tricks to cut down the Video Driver from crashing. Besides lower GPU Mhz.
I am asking because I have 3 machines identical in all ways brand new win7 installs 64bit, Sapphire 7870xt cards.
I can run 2 no issues at 1200Mhz GPU mining 525 mh/s while the 3rd one the video driver seems to crash above 1145Mhz after several hours.
The 2 at 1200 run at 71C and 76C while the driver crashing one runs at 75C.
Are all the cards running at default voltage? Perhaps the third one needs a little more? |

I bought a kit that came with whatever blue coolant, works just fine. Watercooling a 5870 and 5830 with it with a dual 120mm radiator, keeps them about 40 or so, depending on my ambient heat. I used 1/2" OD 3/8" ID primoflex tubing with the regular fittings, no compression.
I used a kill coil. Way less fuss than having to worry about oil or drops of whatever. Just stick it in the reservoir and call it a day.
Those coils are only for preventing biological growth, like algae, in the loop. It doesn't prevent corrosion. If you don't have differing metals in your loop, you shouldn't have to worry too much about corrosion. I only have a tiny bit of ethylene gycol in my loop to lower viscosity of the water. (Helps purge out air bubbles.) |

Are you still paying the $8/day/1kH/s? |

It is called galvanic corrosion and occurs frequently in shitty kits that mix metals (or cheap china made 'copper'), a single dissimilar metal is enough to kick it off...
Does combination of aluminium and copper parts make trouble? E.g. copper water blocks and some automotive aluminium radiator? Thanks. Mixing different metals in the same loop will accelerate galvanic corrosion. Copper and aluminum are particularly bad together unless you use some sort of anti-corrosive agent such as anti-freeze (ethylene gycol) mixed into the water. Look at the chart at the end of this wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_corrosion. The higher the difference in the Anodic index of metals, the faster that corrosion will occur when those metals are in contact with each other. This also occurs when the metals are connected by a water path as well. This is unless you use an anti-corrosive in the water like I mentioned above. |

I just wanted to say I love your quote for the history books! From the link you posted: "In case this post somehow goes down in history, I just want to say…. [censored] The Federal Reserve System." |

I'm running BAMT on one computer with cgminer 2.11.4 and catalyst 11.6. I had this 7950 gpu in my other computer originally running cgminer 3.1.1 and catalyst 13.4. I saw no difference in hash rate when I moved the card to the second computer.
That is just my experience though and I haven't played around much with different drivers and cgminer versions.

i have a couple of rigs on xp i cant rember how i did it thow i will have a look and let you know
Are you running 7xxx cards? It seemed that was my problem with XP. There's no OpenCL support on the newer drivers for XP. Moving to an old enough driver to get the OpenCL then did not have 7xxx support. |

Ok I've got some newb questions maybe u can help me with. I have a simple Dell Pentium 4 Windows XP Home Edition pc. I don't game expect for xbox and ps3 and things like that so this is all new to me. GPU's i get the basics that it is stronger then a cpu but I confused by all the add ons and want to know what the basic setup for someone like me would be. For someone like me how do I get started mining? Do I have to by all these different components or do I just need to rig a video card to my pc to get started and is a GPU another name for a video card? Sorry if this is really basic and newbish but I just don't get what my first to should be and what I can expect will happen once it's taken. And and all help is very much appreciated.  I just spent a week attempting to get an old computer mining on Win XP. I eventually gave up. Drivers can be installed for a AMD 7xxx series card, however there is no OpenCL support on XP anymore. I went through numerous drivers and combinations of different SDKs, but I could not get it CGminer or GUIminer to recognize my card (HD7950). I ended up running BAMT on a USB stick. |

So, I have a rig with 2 6850's in it. I have Windows 8 64bit, I have Catalyst 12.8 installed and the 2.6 SDK installed. When I open up catalyst and go to overdrive, only one card is showing up. I have both cards plugged into monitors. I am missing something here?
If both cards are detected and properly installed, you'll have to select which desktop (1 or 2) at the top of the Overdrive screen. It's a drop-down menu above the card information readout. |
