Completely missed the point. The EUR or USD dont have 50-200% price swings in a months time. Im all for of using bitcoin to make purchases if it was stable.
Wat? Define "price". 1 BTC is always worth 1 BTC. Just as 1 USD is always worth 1 USD. |

Will Amagi Metals ever incorporate Litecoin as a form of payment? I would gladly buy in Litecoin instead of Bitcoin since Litecoin is more resilient to price changes and has faster confirmation.
I sure hope not; what a waste of time. I agree that they shouldn't work on that now while they're so busy that orders are backlogged. Later though, when they find themselves wanting to attract more orders, I think that adding support for Litecoin payments would be a good thing. It would open them up to additional business, just like adding Bitcoin support did. No need to hate. I don't see how supporting Litecoin will hurt Bitcoin any. On the contrary, I think they complement each other and strengthen and support each other. |

Clearly then, any FPGA miner that they shipped was in violation of US law if it didn't at least have an FCC tag in place. Any unit sent to a municipality in the US that requires a UL lag clearly puts them and the customer who received it in violation of the law.
Ergo, Sonny Vleisides is clearly breaking the law, coupled with having some of his clients break it as well, depending on which municipality they live in. Circumnavigating CE regulations is a completely different matter altogether.
The FCC requirement is a concern of BFL, otherwise they wouldn't have posted that they were in the process of obtaining approval.
What about the other mining devices? Do they have any of those certifications? BTW I'm not being a troll. I seriously don't know the answer. My FPGA Singles have no labels or markings whatsoever on their exterior. I guess they aren't certified. |

Yes klrgoten, please keep me posted. I'm interested in them. And Bogart, I'll give you 4 BTC shipped for all four of them. And yes, I live in the US. They'd be shipping to Maine. I've never used escrow before, so you might have to walk me through it. And which version of Sapphires are they? I am looking for these modeled ones:  Not these ones:  They are the version you are looking for. I'll take 4 BTC for the lot, shipped, in their retail boxes. I've had good results using John K's escrow service: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=141672.0Or if you'd rather just trust me to deliver, you can send the BTC directly to me and forgo escrow.  PM me if you want to proceed. |

For a single module a 2.5A 12V wallwart will suffice.
Power Stacking will possible through high current screw terminals or 6Pin VGA Bridge cables (not decided yet).
That way 3-4 Modules could be powered through one 6 Pin VGA Connector.
I would like to suggest that in addition to a barrel jack and 6-pin PCI-e Mini-Fit Jr power connector, that the board also have connectors to accept 12V power from a 4-pin Molex, and also from a SATA-style power connector. Heck, add in some screw terminals too. Also, an on-board header to power a fan would be a nice touch. Software-controlled fanspeed would be even nicer. |
