I have several extra 12cm PCIe 1x to 16x extenders (unopened) that I no longer need. Asking 2 BTC each (includes shipping) if you want more than one asking 1BTC for each additional Haven't sold here before but they're also on e-bay where I have a 100% feedback rating (125 transactions) please PM if interested

Quote from: abracadabra on August 31, 2011, 12:56:49 AM I've started mining at rfcpool which just switched to PPLNS with 0% fee. I've checked out quite a few pools and to be honest, this site looks like it's run by someone that knows what they are doing. The coders hang out in their irc channel, which is a plus. I'm mining there now as well. So far I'm getting more BTC/day than I was on BTCguild. I agree that the site is well done. Simple yet functional design that supplies me with all of the info I care about. It's fast & secure and there aren't any ads. Doesn't seem too popular just yet but I think as more people check it out they'll gain some traction.

Quote from: Elder III on August 19, 2011, 05:51:58 PM I have a pair of PCIE extenders: 1x to x16 with Molex Adapters (they get power from the PSU not the motherboard). I ordered these a week or so ago in anticipation of a build that I was planning. Well, plans change and I don't need either of them now. I paid $25 for these (each) and I'd like to get a little bit of my money back. I am asking for 1.5 BitCoins each or 3 Bitcoins for them both and I will ship them anywhere in the USA for Free. I'd like one of these. (US Buyer)

Quote from: SmokeAndMirrors on August 05, 2011, 12:41:43 AM I don't quite understand why people are still buying mining hardware. Currently it will take about a minimum of 4 months to pay off one card. In terms of interest that's almost 300%. I think that this concept uniquely appeals to us computer "techie" types as well. The fact that we can build a machine that essentially "creates" money is compelling.....as is having an excuse to buy more stuff and get pretty brown boxes from newegg.

I tried several times to install this on a 4GB Memory Stick. Installs fine, I get the bootup menu, but then when it starts up my monitor says it can't display the resolution. It's an old dell with a 1280x1024 max resolution. I've read through this thread but so far haven't found any solution to this issue. Other info: Radeon 6870 ECS 945GCD-M(1.0) Intel Atom 330 Intel 945GC Micro ATX Motherboard/CPU Combo 1GB Ram I saw that someone else in this thread ran into that issue, any progress? I can get in via SSH fine, just can't get into the gui.

Quote from: Strophon on August 17, 2011, 09:55:34 AM So I followed this guide to installing the mining software onto 11.04. Everything loaded OK, or appeared to. Quick question on that...the instructions you reference have this step: svn checkout http://svn.json-rpc.org/trunk/python-jsonrpc Which I was never able to get to work. Did you find that elsewhere?

Quote from: Hotdog453 on August 16, 2011, 05:14:28 PM Trying to sell Bitcoins on Ebay just seems awkward as all sin, given the other available options. I would agree...it's interesting though that the people selling them on ebay seem to be asking higher prices. Perhaps some people are more comfortable purchasing at e-bay instead of mtgox or others, just because of the name recognition.

Quote from: Hotdog453 on August 16, 2011, 05:29:15 PM The "locks" around the edge (at least, I think that's what they are?) would never show up clearly if the image gets much smaller. The coloring is pretty, but a bit.. "much". The "current" logo: Is simple, it's not confusing (the "dollar sign" marks in the B itself lend itself to be viewed as a monetary unit), and... well, it works. I like this better than the one in the OP, nothing small that's going to get overlooked or scrunched too far.

Quote from: Mad7Scientist on August 11, 2011, 04:09:37 PM NO!!! All electric heaters are exactly 100% efficient. 1000W of electricity in is 1000W of heat out. I have a hard time believing that all electric heaters are 100% efficient but I'm sure it's close. As for a miner, your power supply might be 20% efficient (at generating heat), but then you have the efficiency of the other components to take into account. I've worked with servers that put out enough heat to rival a space heater.

Quote from: jorijnsmit on August 11, 2011, 10:01:21 PM Ok so spammers are kept out by letting people spam this thread? I don't think most spammers would last long enough to post 5 spams and it keeps the other forums clean. I like the idea, even though I'm not up to my minimums yet.

Been mining & browsing the forum for a few days...wish I'd found this site about 6 months ago!! In Texas and it sucks having my computers generate so much heat, I'm ready for winter.
