Hey all,

I'm looking for the following items.

1) A monitor with either HDMI or DP input and integrated speakers
2) A low end ATI GPU from the 4/5/6 series to run desktop stuff on while my GPU mines
3) A hard drive of at least 500GB SATA for dual booting.

PM me with offers. Thanks. I am willing to pay first for reputable community members.

I've been reading up on namecoin, and I figured I might move a couple of my workers over to it to diversify my mining production. Is anyone else considering/has already done this?

I'm wondering about the power efficiency of PowerVR chips for mining. As an example, the SGX545 has an OpenCL compatible pipeline, and average power draw of .9 watts. I don't have data on comparative computing, but the pixel fillrate is 1/28 of a 5850 with less than 1/150 of the power consumption.

Thoughts?

I was talking with some friends of mine who have experience with webstore/eCommerce design about Bitcoin. We came up with the idea of producing an online webstore system with native bitcoin integration, which as far as I know does not currently exist.

If we were to create such a system, would there be people interested in using it? Has anyone attempted something like this before?

So I was thinking about how the Efficient Market Hypothesis applies to the increase in Bitcoin prices.

Simply put, the EMH states that if a rational actor thinks that a trade-able asset will increases in value in the future, he will buy that asset at any value less than what he expects it to rise to (less transaction fees and expected inflation). If that information is known to the market generally, then "tomorrow's price will be reached today" as a consequence.

Given the rapid rise in price I am having trouble reconciling this. The market knows the future quantity of bitcoins and knows to expect increasing publicity. What new information is entering the system to drive price increases? Or is it being driven entirely by irrational exuberance/greater fools type speculation?

For the last day or so I haven't been able to process any transactions on my client for the address 1AAopkhmta3DSodMDrfAXzmHJv69psFfez

I tried to send a Bitcoin to Mt.Gox, and it has been sitting as 0/unconfirmed for a few hours now. I also have a mining payment that was sent to my address from Slush's pool (shows up in block explorer) that does not register in my client.

I also can see the confirmation count increasing on transactions that have already occurred.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Braden
