Let's say that you had your choice between either a 6990 or a 5970, both brand new in the box, same price. Which one would you choose and why? Mining considerations only, no gaming.

My bad and I sincerely apologize, I swear your post said "without her consent" and I had no previous knowledge of that incident. I guess I should read a bit slower.

That analogy is off a bit; a parent deciding when a child can choose to engage in sexual activity on their own versus a parent forcing their child to commit acts of prostitution. If you are going to engage in a debate please at least brush up on critical thinking. 100 level college course.

Not from Seattle, but not too far away. I live in Portland but work for a company based in Lacey and Tacoma, so I am in your area quite often. I might be interested in driving up for a meetup. I missed the Portland Bitcoiners meeting a few weeks ago but I am really interested in trying to create some local buzz about Bitcoin. I am currently willing to accepting Bitcoin for computer services in the Portland area. I have been doing on-site computer, network, and printer service for 11 years, so I know what I'm doing. I really believe in Bitcoin for the long term and want to help it succeed by using it for goods and services, not just treating it like other securities to bought and sold as the price fluctuates. Let's get Bitcoin flowing through our local economies and prove to the world that the Bitcoin community means business!

Just my .02 BTC, but any wallet service that does not have the functionality that the client has is worthless. The fact that generated payments are not compatible is IMHO unacceptable.

Received my balance from Ti today. Thank you Luke-jr!

I assume that balances from 3 or Ti are yet to be paid? Just checking. I got both my US and EU balances, so I have faith. If they have been sent, I guess I need to take a second look at my received. Thank you!

Deepbit is not down, up right now 11:35 pm Pacific standard time, USA. All 6 of my workers connected and submitting shares as I type.

Log in to your Deepbit account, create a worker, eg. youremail@you.com_0 and give it a simple password like xxx. It doesn't have to be secure, just make sure your main Deepbit account password is strong. Create a new miner in GUIminer, select Ufasoft CPU miner unless you have a suitable graphics card to mine with. Also open the GUIminer console under view - show console. Go back to the new CPU miner tab you just created, change the dropdown to Deepbit and enter your Deepbit account info. Use the new worker you created on the Deepbit website in the email field and then enter the simple password you chose. Now after you click start mining, switch over to the console tab and you can see what is going on. If it still doesn't connect, copy the text from the console and post it here. Good Luck!

P.S. - You realize that unless you are mining with a good graphics card, it will take you days, maybe even weeks of CPU mining to earn 1.0 bitcoin, right?

Thanks dude!

Now I understand what you are after, got it!

Im not an expert, but the fglrx drivers are for Linux and I would be really surprised if someone could get ESXi to install them. As someone mentioned earlier in this thread, ESXi is not Linux, might appear to be but it is a proprietary OS. Someone with more knowledge please correct me if I am wrong.

I say its theoretically possible, but would require extremely major modification of both ESXi and the fglrx drivers, so not something you could just make some instructions for. I am curious as to why you would want to do this. I am also missing the connection to reusing the server for headless Windows server.

I would think it would take a professional coder much more than 20 BTC worth of time to complete a project of this magnitude, even at the all time high BTC/USD exchange rate.

I do, however, like your thinking because sometimes it is unconventional ideas like this that spur innovationa and development.

BTW, are you the guy with the youtube videos about silver?

Are you implying that Linux is not potentially insecure? That is as ignorant as the "Macs don't get viruses" statement I hear from 70 year old ladies. IMHO, Linux is a bad choice for someone who is not savvy or experienced with it. I agree that what you are proposing is a good idea, but could be disasterous for non Linux users. I look at Linux as the OS that assumes you know what you are doing. As the teacher of my first Unix class told us "Unix usually wont stop you from doing something stupid."

Not promoting Windows or any other OS (I like Linux) just poining something out.

Sweet, there is at least one intelegent person here!

Yeah, a bunch of posts have been deleted from this thread.

It's ridiculous that trolls are allowed to post negative bullshit that is slanderous to the Bitcoin community as a whole but if I call someone out for thier religious ignorance my post gets deleted   Must have rubbed a mod the wrong way.

The amount of religious people out there just proves how stupid the people of the world are as a whole.

Meh, mybitcoin sucks anyway

First of all, I thought that Ebay was removing Bitcoin listings so im surprised to see so many selling there. Second of all, 3 days after I found out about Bitcoin I figured out by reading forum posts and by trying to use Coinpal, which is now closed because dealing inBitcoin is against Paypal policy, that bying BTC with Paypal is a huge mistake. WTF are you all doing? Not tying to be a dick, but you kind of deserve to get screwed doing this. If you want people to steal you BTC, you should just store your wallet on an unfirewalled unsecured Windows machine and wait to get owned That would mean less effort and frustration on your part.

Your declaration of chritianity shows you are utterly devoid of intellegence and Bitcoin goes to finance none of those things. Go jump off of your bridge, troll.

The new Eligius 3 pool and site have been down for several hours now. No response from Bitcoin RPC and stats pages fail to load. Anyone have a clue to what is going on? I know they were having MySQL issues right before this.

I really don't know why but I like Eligius more than the other pools I have tried.

Not crooks as far as I am concerned. I received the .24 from the US pool almost a week ago and the 1.0 from the EU pool showed up last night.

Before you accuse someone of stealing, you really should stop and consider the fact that it is not easy to run a mining pool and give the person a reasonable amount of time to fix the problem. I know we all want instant gratification but things take time and mistakes get made. You have to give someone the opportunity to make good on an error before you start calling them out for it. Just my .02BTC
