Pretty sure I already know the answer but just wanted to verify. If I have 3 identical cards in my system but only 2 bridged together, will that allow me to mine on all 3 but only use 2 in crossfire when gaming? I've never had a good experience with tri-fire so I want to stay away from it. Thanks.

Since we're just tossing out random numbers, I'm holding out for 1nm chips. Hopefully by next week.

I have a suggestion. Since it is entirely pointless to mine with such ancient hardware, why not use the wasted cycles for something beneficial like folding@home?

This will consume around 250watts just for the card and will hash 650KH/s on most settings.
And if you have a low power cpu it will total around 320watts including the Hard Drive and Ram.
So if you're planning to mine ASAP, just first compute your power rates and also consider in looking for 2nd hand cards to lessen the cost. You can see here in the forums selling their mint 7950 for .5 BTC.
Hope this helps you.
P.S. $0.25/KwH is your breakeven point.
Where can you find them that cheap? I would be extremely happy seeing as how that's like 1/3 of retail value. You did mean 7950 and not 7850 right?

New blades are up for sale and nobody seems to notice/care? That seems odd... especially given the 4 BTC price on them. no pictures, no interest. Only vague info - USB capable, not overclockable. We knew this already. I'm waiting for more info. also, but the 4 BTC price point is worth noting at least. Nobody knew the pricing otherwise.

Why would anyone think this was a scam? You have made a whole 8 posts and have 0 trust. How would anyone know they can trust you? Do you have any references or experience hosting mining equipment? Not trying to be a jerk but nobody is going to take you seriously unless you put a little more effort into it.

ANYONE concerned with how much money the company is PAYING in dividends is not thinking properly.
The amount the company PAYS in dividends is irrelevant to the value of the company. The relevant values are how much the company EARNS, and how the company is run/reinvests in itself.
(Unless you don't trust Friedcat, in which case you should not be investing at all).
Earnings aren't much lower than normal. All of us should be hoping that Friedcat will reinvest the lion's share of the capital in getting to the better chips faster. Because that is how the company will thrive long term. Dividends are just a perk and a distraction for any serious long term investor.
Exactly. I think most shareholders are more than willing to sacrifice part of their divs for R&D, but we kneed to know when it's happening or people just start assuming that a low div. equals Asicminer going down in flames. On the bright side though, it gives us a chance to buy up some cheap shares!

any idea if in the future am can get back to 4.3+ per share? maybe by december time? anyone think this is possible?
They have franchise mining offer plans, that will keep AM on top again. I'm guessing within this year. I agree, fixating on mining alone is very near sighted IMO. Then again, most of the bitcoin community completely ignores anything past 2 weeks out.

Not trying to be a jerk, but this has been answered a million times and there are step by step guides all over the place that will give you a better answer than what you will get in this thread. Do a Google search and then if you have a specific problem or you can't figure something out, come here and ask. You will get more help that way.

WTF is going on with Havelock? The site keeps going down and nobody seems to mind. If it's maintenance then someone should just tell us. Hearing nothing makes me want to pull out all of my BTC and hoard it.
We're as frustrated as you are.. and we're working to find the cause of the issue thats been happening lately.. it is NOT a problem with any of our servers or direct infrastructure, but appears rather to be a networking issue upstream somewhere. That makes me feel much better, thank you and sorry for "freaking out". I just realized that you guys have a Twitter feed, following it now.

Has anyone confirmed that the new blades will be USB? I've heard rumors but not seen anything official.
|
|
|
Anyone else unable to access Havelock?
|
|
|
what were your pay dates for those orders? And also, are you selling 2 or 3?
|
|

Great timing with the announcement, a 50% jump in share price seems like a fitting anniversary present.
|
|
|
Maybe it's because you're one of the last 3 people still mining on Deepbit lol. Seriously though, I stuck with them for a couple years and when I switched to Slush's pool I started getting about 10% more BTC with the same speed at the same difficulty....

As previously announced, I have been working on a series of spreadsheets that will allow investors to view all information pertaining to LabRatMining and how the Bitcoin network and exchange rates affect the company. This spreadsheet was developed to add some clarity to the previously vague "Minimum of 100MH/s per bond." I have taken into account all variables involved except reinvestment by the company as this quantity will vary over time. There are fixed costs involved in hosting the equipment as well as variable costs that will determine the amount that will be reinvested. Below is some data that has been calculated given a scenario based around the following assumptions: -BTC/USD = $90.00 -Expected Difficulty at the time of hardware deployment = 45,000,000 -The period of time you wish to measure in weeks = 26 -The percent increase in difficulty per adjustment = 14 Total hashrate in TH for LabRatMining given bond sales6.9 @16,500 bonds sold 8.4 @20,000 bonds sold 13.5 @30,000 bonds sold 18.6 @40,000 bonds sold 24.1 @50,000 bonds sold 29.5 @60,000 bonds sold 35.3 @70,000 bonds sold 41.2 @80,000 bonds sold 47.3 @90,000 bonds sold 53.5 @100,000 bonds sold Individuals hashrate per bond based on bond sales313.86 @16,500 bonds sold 314.34 @20,000 bonds sold 337.22 @30,000 bonds sold 348.65 @40,000 bonds sold 360.86 @50,000 bonds sold 369.05 @60,000 bonds sold 378.71 @70,000 bonds sold 385.96 @80,000 bonds sold 394.57 @90,000 bonds sold 401.48 @100,000 bonds sold Price per GH at given bond purchase price according to bond salesAverage of $42/GH/s (hosting and electric included.) ProfitabilityAverage returns to be expected are likely to be in the range of 70-90% above and beyond the initial investment over 26 weeks. Difficulty ProjectionsIn this calculator I have included the ability to use differing assumptions to estimate difficulty over 26 weeks. These values are included in formulas that may be used to estimate returns. This calculator is complex and therefore comes with a README that can be used to explain the data and formulas. This spreadsheet was made using Excel. You may download the spreadsheet to allow for input of your own assumptions. The fact that these were produced using Excel may cause some individuals to not have access to using the full potential of this calculator, but Google Docs has a built in spreadsheet viewer that will give you the full information based on the assumptions above. Here is the link to access the complete spreadsheet and README: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BwZCh0jtSZkwR1A4RS04TkNUcVU&usp=sharingBecause you have stetted a price gap ,there are little hope you will sold your bonds above 0.15... anyway, the calculation above isn't the same , for example : you said 16500 sold would be 6.9 TH in total. which should be equivalent to 418M/M h per bond. but you stated that individual bond has 318.86/Mhash. and the term of 100M/hash rate bond which originally you stated in the contract now become 300M/hash rate.(Is that you manage your contract by just typing it like whatever you like to?) So you believe that 100% of all profits made by LRM should be equally distributed amongst the bond holders? Lab Rat isn't running a charity, it is a business. Not to mention all of the other overhead costs and his time investment associated with hosting a large scale mining farm.

I do not understand why everyone is fixated on the initial 100 Mh/s estimate. It is an estimate of the initial hashrate per share and will grow just as Asicminer's does/has albeit probably not at the same rate. When I first looked into Asicminer everyone was screaming about how only an idiot would buy into something that gets you around 56 Mh/s per share (if my memory serves me correctly). I'm sure glad I was one of those idiots.

anyone else having a problem with not seeing the dividend pmt in their wallet? i can go to blockchain and verify that it is there, but my wallet isnt picking it up. i just withdrew some btc from cryptsy to see if there was a problem with my wallet, but that BTC showed up within 10 sec of transfer. any ideas?
Is your dividend also in this transaction? https://blockchain.info/tx/6b1420da8b99a99e00eb808cf37ae89284ec9eed0c4c3e45a64db40003bbb7d3The tx shows up for me as still being unconfirmed in the blockchain. My wallet also sees it as unconfirmed. The other dividend transactions have confs but ours doesn't, yet. You'll just have to wait a bit. yes that appears to be the case with mine as well. patience is not very fun... That just means that your coins are from a newly mined block so it will take a while. One of my div payments took almost a whole day to go through a few weeks back.
