For all the people who ask why not move to TH, this is why:
"vol":4265.74570611

TH current volume: 2322

Gox is limping here, and it's already ahead.


That said tho....really hoping we see another exchange that can rival these volumes.

a flood of volume on gox is to be expected in the first hours after they re-opened.   I believe a lot of people who had their bankrolls tied up in gox will be switching to TH in the coming days

I really don't think so. You have been able to move funds for a day or so now. If people were moving, I think they would have already done so. IMO, people are afraid of going with a small site for fear of running into another scalability/security problem.

Another mySQL error. They are probably just getting hammered right now. Probably because everyone is spamming F5 to see ticker updates. They should have gotten market data working first.

I see references to printing out your wallet.dat all over the place and I really like that idea. But, when I open up my wallet.dat file in word pad it is 200+ pages long. Am I missing something here?
...
See why it gets huge?

Yes, that does make sense. But it doesn't help me very much. How does one parse out a particular public/private key for printing? Then, once done, how does one take that private key and make it functional inside of a bitcoin client again? I see this recommendation all over the forums, but I have never seen a tutorial on how it is done. Any help you could give would be great!!!

you want over $300 for a card that generally sells for around $200 used. Good luck, man.

Where do you guys find these numbers? The best half way reputable dealer I could find was right at $300 with me. Perhaps it is the currencies volatility...

Perhaps I should have mentioned that they aren't used. They are new inbox???

Check any computer hardware forum that has a buy/sell section. They generally sell for $175-$215 shipped.

Ok, you are talking about used equipment from a random internet seller not new equipment from a reputable dealer. Granted, I'm just a random internet seller to you all, and thats why I offered to give you my company's info for verification. But at the end of the day, I did this to see if offering a static price for a new inbox product with a fairly slim margin was viable not to profit from this sale and I got my answer. Smiley Sorry if I insulted you, that wasn't my intention.

I'm currently working on something that may interest you. A zen cart module that takes payment in bitcoins and has the ability to sell the coins for cash in realtime. I've got so much on atm so progress is slow. I'll be posting in the project dev forum once complete.
Please PM me when you complete this. I think this would help resolve some of my issues. I'm a pretty adventurous SMB and I'm interested in bitcoins, but this exchange rate is killer. I don't even mind holding the coins so much honestly. The currency seems to be gaining real value and I believe that the long term value will end up in the $10+/BTC, perhaps higher depending on what happens with the dollar. But the fact that as a potential seller, your customer's own interpreted value for a bit coin changes +/- 20% in a DAY is a serious issue that I'm not sure even can be addressed. What do you do if the customer wants to use an escrow service? That takes 5+ days and in the last 5 days the currency has swung 40%. With that kind of swing, how can you ever hope to open an Amazon.com type of store?

What kind of hashing performance were you getting with that specific card?

Im getting 430 mhps on a gigabyte 5870 without too much trouble

Wow I struggle to get 400 !!
i get 400 Mh/s with a 5850 :p

420 on my 5850 =P
(1055/375)

Classic... Bragging about your speed and your mining pool taunts you.

Well, now you're at $350 or so, so you're still quite a bit above them. Tongue
Yea, this is a serious problem. Not the market is at $7.5/BTC when it was 6.5 not an hour ago. Don't think I can sustain a business model with this. Well, thats why I do demos!

Ah, Amazon is charging much more than everyone else for that card. No idea why.

Looks like you are right. Sorry, don't sell graphics cards often and I wasn't aware of the currently market price for the card. Amazon and Ingram prices matched, so I thought I was good. I have adjusted the price to 51 BTC. Seems fair for the market right now.

I based my pricing off of Amazon. Correct me if I'm wrong, but current exchange rate is about $6.50USD/BTC. And I'll need a little more for shipping...

Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/PCI-Express-EAH5870-2DIS-1GD5-V2/dp/B003XU73KO/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1306083482&sr=8-4
