Now that the price of BTC is down a bit - time to take another shot on selling these 7950s.
I've got two gigabyte 9750. Willing to take 2.5 btc per.
Let me know here or via PM.

EDIT - Nothing left to sell. Thanks Everyone who purchased an item!
So here's the deal: I'm cleaning shop (as it were) and looking get rid of some problematic hardware. Specifically - I'm sick of messing around with patched together old machines that i've simply been using for gpu slots. Need to lose the side costs with the less than perfectly effecient rigs. With GPUs turning unprofitable for btc soon and being completely uninterested in litecoin since I'm over invested in bitcoin asics. I've decided to offer the follow hardware for sale. Shipping inside the USA is free (unless you want it overnighted in which case you'll have to pay that cost). It all mines bitcoin at the expected speeds and is in pristine condition (running in my ac'd data room @ 68 degrees).
All reasonable offers accepted:
EDIT: I've decided to keep one of the BFLS... all you guys buying stuff from me has allowed me to raise the money to upgrade the other =).
1x BFL FPGA SINGLE ~832 stable (never even tried upgrading firmware). These are the last of my bfl fpgas, simply ran out of fiat to throw at more upgrades.
Pending Sale Shipped - 1x BFL FPGA SINGLE
Pending Sale Confirming payment Shipped 2x 5570 (ref.) ~210mh/s each
Pending Sale Confirming payment Shipped 6950 (sapphire) ~375mh/s
Pending Sale Confirming payment Shipped - 6950 (sapphire) ~325mh/s - this card had 1 of the 2 fans damage when I got it... so set up a bit wierd to manage the ineffective heating caused by missing fan.
2x 7950 (gigabyte) ~560mh/s - these were used briefly (less than a week) for bitcoin mining and they're less than a month old... but the family member who bought them has managed to convince me that helping her out isn't worth my time - so am in the process of selling off (or returning) her hardware and paying her the original purchase price. Since she bought all the parts off amazon from random vendors I've been unable to return these.
Post offers here or in PM.
Current bids:
fbl singles:
1 @ 6 > private via pm
7950s:
2 @ 2.1 > private via pm

So I've come to a strange place... and find myself heading up the development of a Digital Collectible Card Game.
So here's the deal. I should start out by saying that the currently we have 2 artists, a writer and a programmer. We're going for a free to play game with micropayments in bitcoin. The primary source of income will be the sale of digital product packs and tourney tickets. At present, we're willing to give up an even split on any profits made. If you get in now at the beginning (that is very soon) you will be own an equal share of the profit for the life of the game.
Right now there are only 5 of us, and we expect to be able to complete production with between 10 and 15 people.
All positions are unpaid, and you will be asked (as some point, but not soon) to contribute to the costs of running the game. I say asked because if you aren't interested in that... I'll just end up hosting it myself and covering the operating costs (but I'd really rather not). We are looking for a low time commitment, probably only a few hours a week, but we expect the development to last at least a year - possibly as long as 2 years before we start seeing income from the project.
The positions are as follows:
1 x Artist, landscape painting (oil, pastel, watercolor) - FILLED
1 x Artist, character drawings (pencil, ink) - FILLED
1 x Writer, lore design - FILLED
1 x Project Manager - FILLED
1 x Programmer, client server architecture & game mechanics - FILLED
Writer, dialogue and content - This writer will focus mostly on directly generating game dialogue which will be presented in the extensive PVE portion of the game. Will have to be able to convert character definitions into lively and exciting verbal exchanges.
Programmer, code monkey - This programmer get to choose small specific assignments from the Game Bible and develop them. This is not a "figure out what to do" type of position, you'll be told what the goal is, but you're get to implement the solution in code however you'd like. We haven't decided if we're going with c++, c# or XNA and/or XNA GS - as the code monkey you'd have an equal say on these types of decision. Since the game is going to be a client initially released for WIN32 we've ruled out java, flash and unity as platforms.
Programmer, database & bitcoin integration - This programmer would be responsible for the integration of bitcoin addresses and transactions on the bitcoin network, since the game will be using bitcoin as the ingame currency. You'll also need be willing to help develop the micro-payment system for in game markets.
Programmer, graphics and interface - This programmer will be responsible for the design of the graphics overlay and special effects. Since this a CCG frame rates aren't the concern that they could. You'll simply be manipulating the card images over a background and helping to design the user interface.
Graphics Design & Digital Conversion Artist - This artist will be responsible for taking the photos/scans of the physical art produced by other artists and touching it up digitally as well as converting to whatever formats the programmers need to construct the graphics for the game.
Audio Artist - This artist will be in charge of game audio tracks. We'd prefer original composition using your existing digital hardware & instruments. If you could do sound effects that would be great to add some flavor, but isn't strictly required.
As it stands right now, the lone writer is churning out lore... while the rest of us are slowly coming up with card concepts. We want to have the initial (in-house) alpha set have 297 cards, we're shooting for 495 at release. Huge by CCG set standards, but not really all that much considering the game mechanics involved and some of the duplicates in other factions that only involve an art and a name change. We don't have any strict demands for how much time you spend on development but it will need to be a slow progression over the next year. If you become involved now you'll be able to have input on the game mechanics and card design and some limited input on the lore as well.
I decided to post this here first in the hopes that we'd get people who already know what bitcoin is and why we want to use it ingame. Frankly I'm getting sick of having to explain why it's a good idea for micro-payments on a free to play model. That being said, game development is a something we've never done before and we're willing to give you the time and support you need to grow into any of these roles. With the exception of the bitcoin and database programmer - if you're that guy we expect you to be able to already know how to make that work in code.
If you're interested please reply by private msg. If you'd like to comment in the thread feel free to. We're willing to release some basic information about the world, game mechanics and engage in theory-craft with you about the bitcoin related micro-payment systems. Or if you'd just like to tell me what sort of game you'd like to play... I'd be willing to hear that as well.
Have a great day, and thanks for reading.

So I'm doing my normal January thing and going over my investments... Turns out I've got some ~25k laying around doing nothing.
Since asic's haven't released and I've budgets some outright purchases of sc rigs in case they'd been released on time...
I'm now in the market for between 1, 2, 3 or 4 fpga mini-rigs. I'm willing to negotiate on price.
Can pay in btc or by wire.
Drop me a msg if you've got any you need to get rid of.

Myrkul, I thought this would be better off in it's own thread. Lets start with a definition of what ancap is, then I'll tell you the things that make me raise an eyebrow  |

seems like the perfect chance to ask them to take bitcoin donations.

So another topic got me thinking about what went wrong this election, and after going over the numbers again, I've decided that the issues that lost this presidential race were voter apathy and 3rd party voters. What the GOP needs to do to ever win any election again... is to absorb the libertarian candidates and run them as republicans. Then put the existing campaign machine into action for them. I bet we'd see votes in the range of 70-80%. Ah well we can dream...  |

...we can expect the price of bitcoin to increase even more as the USD continues to fail. |

Interesting restriction to only be allowed to post here... Anyone have specifics on how long or how many posts I'll need before I can actually contribute to other sections?
