The problem with ASIC is that it will be far more profitable to buy Bitcoin and reap the benefits of ever-increasing difficulty from ASIC than to buy miners and wonder if the difficulty is going to increase so quickly you become unable to get a solid ROI. No matter HOW beneficial ASIC is, the inevitable price increase to match the difficulty is going to be much more profitable. We saw it with GPU when people were starting their GPU farms, we'll see it with ASIC farms, too.
What a noob. You still think high difficulty = high prices ? Price is influenced by difficulty ?  LOL ! Only thing to cause price rise to $10 is reward drop in Dec. I can almost guarantee you $10 pricepoint in Jan 2013 ... |

Hmm... I wonder if bulanula is associated with this company....
I know its just a joke, but you're giving him too much credit. He would be lucky to be associated with ANY company. I'm 100% sure hes just a kid still asking for allowance. Poor kid probably doesnt have much attention and must rely on forums to live day by day mentally. I work as a CTR ( customer trolling representative ) for BFL : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=60586.msg975270#msg975270 |

how can i read the VRM temps under linux (BAMT)?  You can't. Use Windows. |

Though even better would be a "speculative hardware" subforum. Anything not available for third-party verification goes there.
I think that this would be the best idea going forward. It would really clean up a lot of the current sub-forums. Take all the 7990 stuff, Lancelot, almost everything BFL related and shove it all there. Most sensible idea YET. Go for it ! |

I'd like to grab the BitForce SC Jalapeno @3.5GHashs when it's available as this is many times more powerful than my HD6950 gpu (400Mhash/s) and for much less power/heat/noise.If they can ship this to UK I'm in.
I'm very happy to see this news as I've wanted to move away from GPUs for quite a while now but couldn't before as the price was a little steep for me.
Why wouldn't they be able to ship it ? It is a damn coffee warmer = TINY ! You still have to pay 20% VAT though, gotta love taxes  |

Cut them some slack guys. It is Sunday in UK.
Nobody works then ... they are not robots.

He won't sue me because he knows I can'twon't pay FTFY What is wrong with paying in 4-6 weeks like BFL |

Excuse my ignorance but what is the friken point of TOR mining ?
Tor has better uses than wasting bandwidth for your getworks.
Unless you are running a botnet and don't want to get behind bars ...
Can't wait for ASIC to come and SPAM to start resuming again because botnet miners are scum.

Scrypt, and therefore Litecoin, is highly resistant to GPU, FPGA and ASIC acceleration because of its high memory requirements.
I don't buy this argument. Quote from scrypt.c: const int scrypt_scratchpad_size = 131583; char scratchpad[scrypt_scratchpad_size]; Quote from XC6LX150 data sheet: Total Block RAM (kb) = 4824 converting bits to bytes I'm getting 617472, which would make litecoin hasher easily fit into the popular Spartan-6 chip already in hands of many miners. Reality is people are probably mining with FPGA on LTC already but they are not telling the rest of us. Just like SC crew were GPU mining LTC and not telling. Of course, the first LTC GPU miner was ArtForz loser just like with BTC he reaped all the profits and raped the rest of us stupidotos. |

Ok, I'm ready to take this to the next level. I'm running 38c on 896.
Please share how. Did you put them into the fridge or something |

I need to make myself more liked around here.
That's not a bad thought. Maybe you could start by apologizing to everyone you've owed and give them back their coins? I'm sure that would earn you a lot of respect. Plus if you still want the Scammer tag I'm sure you could convince Theymos to let you keep it. Coming soon (TM)  That's Copyright (C) imsaguy. Used without permission.

I had mine overclocked above 800mh/s in the winter with my pc case in the window. Once the first hot day came around I burned out 2 gpu's. I'm still waiting on diamond to mail them back. Now I try to keep gpu temps at 60-65. A new gpu can run at 70-80c for a while but its not worth it. Especially if ASIC's are coming out. If the video card is not fit for gaming it will be worthless at the end of the year.
Great. You just made me realize this. Hopefully all my cards are good gamers and working 100%. How do you recommend testing for gaming worthiness in Linux only ? |

I love pirate and all BUT the only thing I don't like about him and his operation is that he does not seem to believe in BTC ( refers to them as "pet rocks" ) and also I think he is the only one preventing BTC going to $10 soon by dumping as much as he can ...

I think ckolivas should do this himself, not that I don't trust you kano.
What is the point using 12.04 anyway ? It sucks big time and 11.04 is best for miners.
I don't want to be going nuts creating multiple binaries. Why 12.04? At every next installation people will find it harder and harder to install old versions as they become less and less maintained and featured, like ANY software. At some stage I have to choose when to move on, and as I did from previously with ubuntu, I decided now was the time. There is absolutely nothing wrong with 12.04 except for the fact that you don't like the AMD drivers that come with it. Choosing the best driver is non-trivial for ANY version of ANY operating system though. I understand your choice. I was just wondering why. Keep up the good work ! |

LTC mining is very profitable again.
HD 6950 will mine +400LTC/day which gives us 0.50BTC/day.
Thats very good.
I like LTC very much but when ASIC comes and all GPU miners go to LTC the depth is simply not there to sustain the price up like with SR and BTC. So LTC will never be BTC alternative for GPU miners  NMC is quite similar I think ... the money is in BTC right now. |

For anyone still running ubuntu/xubuntu 11.04 like I do, the latest release binary 2.4.3 will not run on 11.04 (it's built on 12.04) You can of course compile it yourself ... or: I've compiled a distro version of 2.4.3 with all devices enabled and placed it my git downloads What this is built from is the exact source in the 2.4.3 release - cgminer-2.4.3.tar.bz2, all default options, (including ADL, GPU, curses) and also libudev & libusb, CFLAGS="-O2 -W -Wall" ./configure --enable-icarus --enable-bitforce --enable-ztex --enable-modminer So basically the same as the binary in the binary release, except compiled on xubuntu 11.04 It reports itself as cgminer 2.4.3a on the screen and in the version info If you want it, it's in my git downloads: https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer/downloadsI'll do this 'all devices' version after each release, so people with 11.04 can get a binary without having to build it, if they don't want to build it. I'm using it successfully on a rig with one 6950 GPU + one BFL Edit: and also on my fedora 16 rig with two Icarus I think ckolivas should do this himself, not that I don't trust you kano. What is the point using 12.04 anyway ? It sucks big time and 11.04 is best for miners. I don't want to be compiling each time ... |

What is malicious about a BTC botnet ?
Stealing someone's computer resources is malicious. +1 I meant in BTC context. Not passing transactions is one aspect. Also, as all you said : botnet owners should be burned on the stake |
