Hard currency has seen nothing to the likes of bitcoin7, mt.gox, and cosby coins. Confidence was great when I purchased 1k btc at 0.50$ and sold at 31$.  But incase you have not seen bitcoin7, mt.gox, and cosby coins... There is not much left to loose faith in.  Bitcoins are already being replaced slowly by systems allowing for faster maturation and therefore (hopefully) a sooner stability. 

Bitcoin has had a hard life so far, let us all take a lesson about magic quotes in SQL, ahem i mean "independent contractors".  China and several other countries have already outlawed bitcoins.  US legislation is soon to follow, provided bitcoins still prove a threat.  And now that I have seen yet again another drop in value for more weeks then I can now remember, the threat is lowered, as consumer confidence takes yet another blow.


The golden days are behind us, this at the very least you must admit.  Lowered difficulty means more supply, more hacking and price drops means far less demand.

"Yeah whatever" is an emotional response, we are trying to bring logic to your idea, this is not a personal attack.  Your belief is founded on virtually no facts, just a visual element...

You seem to be confused as to which "technology" are you are talking about...

Are you addressing Crypto-currency technology? 
Bitcoin as a technology?
Hardware capable of simultaneous vector flops?
 Adoption rates in the case of bitcoin often serve a dual purpose,  for those of us that mined graphics card hardware... It serves two purposes. The bitcoin aspect, and having the card when the mining stops.

One of the reasons I believe there was such an adoption rate, was the market increases in bitcoin value over a short period, the interest from niche investments for monetary gain, and the possibility of getting top end hardware for no cost outside of electricity (which even at this difficulty, solo mining is not cost effective if you are paying for electricity).

Firstly, what "technology" are you addressing.

Secondly, if it is about the actual "technology" of simultaneous vector calculations, is that not a configuration of available hardware schemes, noting that due to Nvidias method of construction mining is not really a profitable option... hence, Would miners who have access to said hardware, really invest in specialized hardware with no function should the whole crypto currency crash tommorow? (especially given the slowing trends, and endless price drop values, multiple hacks, and problems on top of problems)

Thirdly, based on your seeming emotional response, I greatly doubt your investment in your belief is outside of "wishing".

trying to clarify.  Apologies for being clear.

I do recall now why i don't frequent this religious institution

not trolling, that bell curve is most definitely my prediction for bitcoins.

Just pointing out that Gartner Curves are about technologies.  Your argument is faulted in that one could say "Pentium" does not follow the Gartner Curve, but "multicore processors" do.  One is a "brand", one is a "technology". 

Cryptocurrency is a methodology ie technology.
bitcoin is a specific instance of said methodology ie brand.

Ah yes, the paradigm of "bitcoin" not of ixcoin namecoin any of the others.  The concept is a very alluring one that cannot be denied.  I am specifically referring btc, and look forward to other mediums in the future (that have yet to have legislation being created against them).

 Not only for adoption, but also for integration into existing systems of currency and trade.

Perhaps the abundance of alternative and newer forms with diverse variables.  Perhaps the seemingly endless instability in every part of bitcoins besides the process of blockchains and coin mining itself.

Maybe just that seeing the bf3 beta release date drop a significant number of miners, and that a look at google trends vs money/day is almost identical.

Rest assured I am long past being out of coin making, selling or anything of the like.  I am just here to watch the reaction to truth.

Or rather you would put me to death like the church did to galileo; make no mistake at this point bitcoin is running on faith.



Do not mistake my commentary as a statement on crypto-currency which I may be inclined to believe such a graph you propose would follow.  This particular paradigm is reaching it's death as a plethra of diverse alternatives exist.

fixed that for you.

Turns out i found a new use for a dead graphics card. 

I have no resistors currently so i improvised.

6990 main card -> DVI to VGA adapter -> VGA cable -> DVI to VGA adapter -> Dvi on burned out graphics card just sitting on desk.

Turns out something fried on this other card, and every time the card gets a refresh pulse, the fan spins.  A literal visual sign. Ghetto bitcoin riggin (until radio shack opens).  Time to rig up some leds

Many thanks on that catalyst. 11.6 apparently doesnt realize 11.7 exists when you go to update.  Finally monitor free mining, with a physical telltale.  It's terrible, but it works.

interesting, apparently ccc didnt realize 11.7 existed. dling and isntalling now.

Update:  unplugging both plugs results in no cards being detected by guiminer.  Correct you are about not needing a dummy plug for the second card tho. Can i dummy plug the main display without risking breakage? (im paranoid)

Have had my rig setup for a number of months now,

grappled with freezing from log files overfilling to powersupply burnout in 14 days (buy a 1500 watt the first time).
Auto restart once a day etc.

Currently the monitor im using with it has 1 Dvi and 1 Vga , which works out perfect so the second card initialized (dummy plug issue).

Question:
1.  can i dummy plug both cards?

2. because the processor is only a single core (the second core would not unlock) but yet on 55 watts, remote desktop is ugly, especially obviously sending a nasty printscreen while grinding.  Any miners care to share their secret to no monitors?

3. for heat reasons the rig is away from the other computers, vga extension cable was having non of that.  Any suggestions at all as to how one could get both cards initialized, without needing a monitor plugged in?  How do other miners deal with hands off machines like this, command line only? 

rig is windows 7 ultimate, but only because i cant find a proper linux driver to run the N wireless (ethernet not an option as to it being on a different floor) . 

Ive seen similar posts but not really with 6990s and just fishing for some crazy answer or idea.  Spitballin here

Fascinating.  I figured it would only be  a matter of time, who would have thought china would step up.....

Not like they are beating the US in production, manufacturing, owning all rare earth metal mines, and building a space station bigger then the ISS solo.

Good thing china is a 3rd world commie country, right republicans?

my username, free of charge. long before bf3

meh?

bitcoins in a way treat high end computation like a rare earth comodity... hence.. yes

2 investment options
1. buy cards (retain physical equity with depreciation)
2. buy coins (gamble unless perhaps you, unlike most, like playing forex type high risk investments)

Worth the effort? sure
Worth the effort now? probably less so for now, until 6990s or better become available in higher numbers

160-bit hash.  Good luck sir.
