Just ran across this thread.  I'm having the exact same issue.  I'll try the crossfire approach.  So you only crossfired two of the cards and left the other two running single?

Just wanted to drop in and say thank you.  I ordered a couple of PCIE 16x extensions and they are working great!

No interest?  Make some offers.

For sale:
Gtx 460 768mb model which was used for F@H for about 2 weeks before discovering bitcoin.  I am the original owner
13 btc shipped

Gtx 260 core 216 model, I am not the original owner.
8 btc shipped

Both cards work fine but are sold as-is and will ship in original boxes via USPS or UPS with delivery confirmation. (card only as I'm not sure if I have all the extra cables, etc.)

I'm new to this forum and selling here, however I have solid references from transactions elsewhere.  Message me for details.

Thank You!!

6.2 Ghash/s

Do you mine solo or is it even worth it anymore?

I'm afraid that if staring angrily at it is not having the desired effect, all that is left is a temporary separation.  I wouldn't jump right into divorce though, maybe you two will see through your differences.

As far as the memory issue, I've been wondering the same thing though.

Would a fan like that even help?  I can't imagine that 4 cards tucked in so close together would not spell certain disaster, although I assume that there are people using a similar setup.  I'd be interested in knowing temps for cards in a similar setup.

I believe that calculator gives you a very rough estimate of of the probability of solving blocks while mining solo in a totally static environment, but I could be wrong.  I'm under the impression that it is kind of a "best case" estimate.

14  Other / Obsolete (buying) / Re: [closed] $100 MtGox USD for sale on Ebay on: May 12, 2011, 07:12:05 PM
The ebay listing has been ended.

I'm kind of a dummy - I hadn't messed around with Dwolla at all, and didn't realize how easy it is to fund MtGox that way. Nobody in the U.S. is going to be interested in a marked-up gift certificate when they can just use Dwolla.

I could always sell a certificate to international folk who can't use Dwolla, but then I'd have to deal with scummy Nigerians in internet cafes. (No offense if that is you)

OK, I take that back. Go ahead and be offended you dirty 419ers.

Why not just lower your buy it now price?

So do you think if you made it a "term of service" it would suffice?  Borrowing heavily from you, I went ahead and started an auction.  Let me know if you see anything glaringly obvious that I may have left out.  I really like the idea behind this as it ties into ebay's current feedback system with ebay protections built in.  Anyways, your comments would be appreciated.

His auction is here: http://cgi.ebay.com/280675399419

I can't find the official policy, but everyone seems to think if you accept PayPal, you have to accept e-checks. For instance: http://answercenter.ebay.com/question/Paypal/Echeck/900247346

The real hang-up is that a new PayPal user won't know that they are paying by e-check until after they send Payment. This actually happened to me the first time I tried to pay somebody with my new PayPal account. I hit "send payment", and then when I looked at my transaction history, it said an e-check would be sent in a few days. I had to cancel the e-check and jump through some hoops before I could send the instant payment I had meant to send.

Just for the fun of it, I put in a low bid on your auction Smiley

P.S. If your auction sells for more than $250, you need to ship with signature confirmation in order to be eligible for seller protection.

Nice, thank you!

I guess a link would have been helpful.  Smiley

I'll see how this one goes...if nothing else, it may be a good learning experience.

Can't you just take paypal only, or is the e-check done through paypal?  I'm a little confused, could you state "paypal only" in your auction and if they pay with an e-check just refund the money and tell them you don't accept payment via e-check?  I thought the idea was pretty solid, so much so, that before finding this thread this evening, I had even come up with my own certificate and was pretty much going to copy you!

Yeah, the e-check is through PayPal. If I accept PayPal, I have to accept their e-checks.

I discovered that I am vulnerable to price speculation selling these gift certificates on Ebay, so I had to cancel my $100 auction early.

Assuming the e-check clears, I will still pay the 14.29 bitcoins to the winner of my earlier auction.

The problem is that the winning bidder can pay by e-check, which takes a week to clear. The winning bidder can cancel that e-check at any time. If the price of bitcoins doubles, they let the e-check clear, and I send them the gift certificate that they bought at a much lower price than it is currently worth. If they don't like the price in one week, they cancel the e-check before it clears, and I have to re-list the gift certificate. Ebay rules won't let me exclude e-checks.

I've learned an important lesson, and I'm changing my strategy. From now on, I will be selling gift certificates good for MtGox USD on ebay instead of bitcoins. Since the price for them doesn't vary wildly, there isn't a vulnerability to price speculation.

Can't you just take paypal only, or is the e-check done through paypal?  I'm a little confused, could you state "paypal only" in your auction and if they pay with an e-check just refund the money and tell them you don't accept payment via e-check?  I thought the idea was pretty solid, so much so, that before finding this thread this evening, I had even come up with my own certificate and was pretty much going to copy you!

I'm not trying to step on any toes here...and perhaps I haven't thought this through completely, but why not use a 3rd party feedback system that is already in place like heatware.com?
No worries!  I expect my toes to be stepped on when coming up with new ideas.  Smiley

I wanted to create something that was bitcoin-centric.  Heatware can't tell you whether a bitcoin address is indeed associated with the user account at heatware.  I could just tell you that "oh hey, my username on heatware is blah blah", and if blah blah had a good rating, then they might believe me.

Unless, there's more to heatware than meets the eye... still, I like the idea of being able to verify that a seller/merchant is attached to a particular bitcoin address instantly.

Ahhh, makes sense.  Implement a little more accountability/security into the system.  I think that's a great idea that will hopefully get rid of all but the most determined of shysters.
