24 hour bump.

Mods, If I broke the rules, feel free to un-bump me... This is my first ad here in the forum.
2  Economy / Computer hardware / [WTS] Three 290x's, One 7950, and USB & Ribbon Risers (Located in CONUS) on: March 03, 2014, 08:32:16 PM
I am getting out of mining to pursue another business opportunity and need some extra cash. I am keeping one of my 290x's and the tower for my own personal use, but am selling the following.

QTY 1: XFX 7950 - $325
QTY 3: XFX R9 290x's - $650 each  SOLD
QTY 5: USB 3.0 Powered PCIE Risers -$18 each
QTY 5: Powered PCIE "Ribbon" Risers - $15 each

Obviously, I will also take an equivalent in BTC (Coinbase price at the time you PM me). Always willing to negotiate... These are located in the Cincinnati, Ohio area.

The three 290x's are currently mining Doge and will be placed in their original wrapper and box and otherwise come as new. They have been running for about three weeks and have never been over 80 Deg C. The 7950 was run for about four days (first time test) until I decided I wanted more hashing power. Again, the 7050 will be placed in it's original wrapper and box and otherwise come as new.

Here are some pics so you know exactly what I have and that I am not a scammer...

I recently posted an idea about P2P exchanges (wrongly thinking I had thought up the idea first  Tongue), and the big question was how to link the $$$ to a decentralized exchange.

The more I think about it, the only real way would be to have $$$ in a digital wallet, just like a crypto currency. This would necessitate the $$$ having it's own blockchain, among other things, just like BTC.

The thing is, I do not really see the banksters going for the idea...

Bitcoin isn't really what is holding back decentralized exchanges. Fiat is preventing them. How do you transfer fiat in a decentralized manner while verifying amounts and transactions and then put all of that information into a database where you can safely trade it for Bitcoins? Figure that out and let us know!

Find out a way to link your fiat bank account directly to your crypto wallet? Or even better, develop a wallet that can hold multiple currencies, crypto AND fiat...

Now, getting that past the SEC, Treasury Department, or FED...  Shocked

Well, it looks like I have some bedtime reading to catch up on... Whatever the solution, it has to be P2P. From 10,000 feet up, I do not see why a P2P exchange would have to be "attached" to BTC directly. I also think a totally alt-coin solution that puts BTC to bed would be a phyric victory in the end.

Regardless, I will dig in and see what I can see. Whatever I find, I will update here. Everyone else, feel free to post links here so the ideas flow for all...

There are several projects in development.

See bitshares, ethereum, ripple, mastercoin, and others.

I see where what you are saying... But do we want to go the alt-crypto route, or try to bootstrap BTC?

BTW, I have no dog in this fight. I have over 300K Doge and about 0.01 BTC. I am new to the whole alt currency scene and just want to see it succeed. Smack-downs like are happening because MtGox did not see the obvious coming do no good... I am just brainstorming over a few Guiness here.

First time poster here...

I was just thinking about this whole MtGox thing... It seems that there is really bad price discovery between the crypto/fiat worlds.

BitCoin came about as a decentralized way of doing business, trading ideas, and the like...

Is there not a way we can have a decentralized way of doing price discovery and get away from the centralized exchanges? Maybe not a new coin, but rather a patch that can be added onto BitCoin? Maybe? If not, would a new coin be needed?

It just seems that the idea of a centralized exchange defeats the whole point of the crypto currency concept.

Now, I am not a coder, so I have no idea how to implement it... But if is not possible to patch Bitcoin, a new Crypto Currency is needed, and someone runs with my idea of a decentralized crypto exchange, please call the new trading unit a YAVORSK, instead of a Satoshi    Grin

This is my white paper  Cool
