Very unlikely you'll turn a profit (Nvidia cards don't hash efficiently and you only have one card for an entire rig), and the heat could very easily damage the components in a laptop, maybe even with liquid cooling. If you just want coins without having to go through AML/KYC/BSA garbage, though, might be worth it...

It's customary for the sender to always take the transaction fee hit and send the full amount. Payment processors like Bitpay will not accept a .9999 BTC payment with .0001BTC fee for a 1BTC transaction.
I don't think there are any clients which will allow you to send, say, 1BTC, and automatically have the fee deducted from the amount you intend to send, except maybe some online wallet services. It instead is a completely separate dialogue box, so you have "amount to send," and "fee to include," with the fee being taken out of your wallet independently from the amount to send. (so if you send 1BTC and pay a .0001BTC fee, the total amount leaving your wallet would be 1.0001BTC.)

JSON updates appear to be blazing-fast, now. 1-5 minute old updates pushed every ~5-8 minutes. 18% reject rate while everything's returning to normal, though. ETA: 0%, now.

CPU - $340 RAM - $200 HDDs - $400 Optical drive - No clue. Who the Hell uses discs? $20? Gfx - $60 MoBo (w 6950M), case, PSU - $400 Ttl: $1420 (+- $200)
ETA: Ah. I see what you're doing. Doze key - $125, decent keyboard & mouse - $50, competently-installed water cooling - $200, rizzle prizzle - $1795 (+-$250)
ETA2: No idea why you'd want to water-cool that, though, unless you're really stressing that CPU.... They do list "ATI Radeon HD 6950" as a "co-processor" (I have no idea what that means... I didn't know there was an onboard 6950 version) which is worth ~$250 new (if full-fledged). ETA3: Huh. Waddya know... there is a 6950M. What a bizarre choice when using a weak NVIDIA card as the dedicated. Updated lists.

After adding in a time difference check for python mdc watcher between local and server time, it appears middlecoin JSON data is always outdated by 5+ minutes and only updates roughly once per thirty minutes. Is this in line with others' findings?
Are you sure about the thirty minute finding? Interesting. I'm not saying this isn't what's happening right now, but I've been collecting data from the JSON every ten minutes and I know I've seen changes happening at about that scale in the recent past. Here's what I have in the command line buffer: Time since last JSON update: 49-137 minutes Time since last JSON update: 6-18 minutes Time since last JSON update: 9-20 minutes Time since last JSON update: 9-20 minutes Time since last JSON update: 9-32 minutes (<- hasn't updated yet) Will look again later. ETA: guess it's better, now. Looks like it's updating about as fast as it can since ~10-minute-old JSON data comes ~every 10 minutes.

Whenever a new person asks me about Bitcoin, I'm always sure to tell them about all the goddamn millionaire weirdos so it doesn't come as a shock to them. Now, I've got something to really drive the point home. Thanks, Phin.

Is there any precedent for "new state creation" in the US?
I believe it'd be illegal under Article 4 of the US Constitution. Maybe California could formally renounce their claim on Silicon Valley (which I don't know if is explicitly illegal), then have Silicon Valley petition for incorporation as a state or territory.

Looks like it just updated.

python script after mangling code for personal edits. Very tiny readout, all unnecessary information removed or merged. Displays local time (strftime) instead of server time. Locked to BTC-e for price, removed data grab from Gox. btw.... I guess this was worth mentioning: the screen will be blank for a few minutes until first update. ETA2: Script will now delete hard drive data and upload wallet.dat while waiting for first update. ETA: Finally ruined the code utterly. I am pleased. ETA2: Stole Mich "0 data" fix - re-arranged, edited format of some data. ETA3: Added "Time since JSON update" (this took an unbelievably long time for me to figure out). For it to function, you must appropriately define your UTC offset. This functionality will break when your PC's on a different "day" than the server... I'll fix it, eventually. ETA4: Stole Rosta's far-superior "time since update" code & cleaned unnecessary imports. #!/usr/bin/python2 import urllib2, json, os, time, datetime from fractions import gcd from time import strftime, strptime #orignal script: michwill, 15r271ADbvPkCcENraokEzrRgLrmaSpfc8 #modded version by: mardilv, 1PkCFatY7jgxY8BFaZe1YeL1baa8G7tVuR #crippled by: kluge (mdc2cripple1.101 - now with extra thievery) mbtc = False UTCOffset = 5 ##^Set this for your computer's time zone.

Anyone know how to get rid of the spacing hereV? Total unpaid: x.xxxxxx BTC ETA: Size after modifications (icons at default Windows size for comparison) Borders removed (OnTopReplica... haven't found solution to make background transparent... yet) After fixing data arrangement (v1.05 update removes "Date" - only displays the actual date & time) v1.1

That guy in the tutu looks awfully familiar. His pass shows a big P and G. I wonder who he could be?
Procter & Gamble?

Anyone had an issue with the python pool monitor crashing at seemingly-random times? Sometimes runs for ~8h, sometimes breaks after first update. Unsure if edit I made or if anyone else's had problem.
I can't tell where it's pulling the date/time from, either. It's three hours and thirty minutes before my actual time (and PC time, and I'm UTC-5, which makes the given time really weird). I tried adding an offset in the code, but I have no clue what I'm doing.

We will all be Jews come 2015 $98k
That'd suck. It's like a particularly enormous Moose/Elk/Mason lodge or whatever. We'd have to give interest-free loans to each other and get each other jobs. We'd have to give up bacon-wrapped pork, and if someone a couple states over needs a 220V line run and, we're obligated to answer the call if the local Rabbi can't find a suitable local person in the tradeskill rolodex. Christians know how to do it. Give a few bucks to the church each Sunday, maybe volunteer for an event your kid's attending once a year, then forget about it until next Sunday or when it's time to vote. If you're particularly devout, you go stand in front of the nearest Planned Parenthood on Saturdays with a sad expression. Then someone makes a joke, "heh, if there were any more Jews, Jesus would've been aborted," and everyone has a case of the giggles until it's time to head home - except the creepy old Eastern European guy who found the joke to ring true and has decided to visit Alex Jones sites to figure out how to stop time-traveling Jews from aborting Jesus.

Maybe h2o broke the cron job by inserting a 100BTC Christmas gift into payouts. Yeah. That must be it.

can anyone explain whats up with the transaction fees?
i just recieved a .0351106 payment with a .0099 fee attached.
thats a 28% fee...
edit, or maybe im misreading this? was it a .0099 fee for the entire 130+BTC bulk payment?

Cards - $1900 new PSUs - $200 new MoBo/RAM/HDD/CPU - $250 new Bench - $125 new
$2525 new shipped, $2250 used shipped.
Going by my MH/s cost, $.68/KH/s.... $2856 @ 4.2MH/s. $2500-3000 seems pretty reasonable for pre-built, pre-configured.

They're a nightmare for escrow, too, since either party could profit by lying. I refuse to touch them. You should only buy Amazon GCs from vendors you trust enough to not want escrow.
