Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Arduino Miner?

on: May 27, 2011, 03:47:58 PM

The Arduino microprocessors are really weak so you'll probably not get much out of them in terms of Hash/s. What might work is wiring up some custom SHA256 IC's and using the Arduino to farm work to them - of course with the PC doing the comms.

Yeah. I'm about to put my savings wallet into a VM with an encrypted virtual HD file that's backed up someplace. I don't have that many btc, but still enough that I'd hate to lose it.

Quote from: tomcollins on May 26, 2011, 04:35:28 PM Quote from: eturnerx on May 26, 2011, 10:46:23 AM Lol we've had this for years. 1) It's called setting up payees in your internet banking software. 2) Use the bank's mobile website when out and about. Why is this news? That still requires a paper check unless it's the same bank. Really? No - not in my country. It resolves electronically overnight for the same bank and 2-3 days for inter-bank transfers. The funds cleared as soon as they arrive. Paper cheques here still take 5 working days to clear unless they have either CASH or WAGES written on them. Methinks the banks like to keep the money in transit to earn a sliver of interest on the way through. We get near instantaneous transfer when we pay via swipe bank-cards (not credit cards) at retailers.

Quote from: bitpop on May 26, 2011, 10:37:36 AM I'm going to make 3 usb thumb drives then bury them 5 miles apart. How do you suggest I weather proof them? Include a moisture sucking sachet or two in the package to deal with an condensation that might build up in the bag. You don't want corrosion making the drive unreadable. Or, you could try submersing the flash key in non-biodegradeable oil to keep oxidisation at bay.

Bitcoin / Mining / Re: What is the point of a "miner" password when participating in mining pools?

on: May 26, 2011, 10:44:19 AM

Quote from: gigabytecoin on May 26, 2011, 10:34:53 AM I don't know why I have the option to create so many individial "workers/miners" for starters... When creating an individual worker for a mining pool (like deepbit.net or btcmine.com) I am asked to create a separate password for that miner (so that I can submit shares using my username and password presumably?) Why would I bother making a difficult to guess password for that miner in particular? Don't I want other people trying to crack my password and mine bitcoins for me through the pool if they so choose? Why is there a password at all basically is my question? Creating many workers means that we can track each ones: track record, up/down status individually Yeah I never really got that separate password deal either... (different for worker and main account). I guess the password thing dates back to solo-mining via the Bitcoin client in server mode. There's much more that interface to the Bitcoin client exposes that should be protected.

Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is MtGox the best way to withdraw BTC as USD?

on: May 26, 2011, 10:34:50 AM

I'm in NZ too. And yes, the chain is MTGOX -> Liberty Reserve -> Webmoney.co.nz I think the webmoney minimum fee is quite step ($10NZD) since a domestic bank transfer only costs $0.35 cents.

Economy / Marketplace / Re: SkepsiDyne Integrated Node - A Bitcoin Mining Company

on: May 26, 2011, 10:31:18 AM

I'm voting no. The weird thing about GLBSE vs other share markets is that normally shares are not publically tradeable until after the float has finished. That is to make sure purchasers are pumping money into the company needing the capital. With a rising share-price for the "issue-shares" encourages more profit taking that lines up ahead of more capital going into the business for expansion.

Interesting - there's now 231 shares selling below Tawsix's main block at 1btc. 175 of those shares are selling below the original asking price of 0.75btc. All this uncertainty is making buying cheap right now. Wish I had more bitcoins to spare.

Quote from: charlie on May 23, 2011, 09:53:58 PM Or I had an idea where people could buy shares in bitcoin run companies (Things like Mining Pools, BitCoin Service Offerers and more..) Sounds like http://glbse.com/ - though that's in beta it's appears to be moving quite quickly to something quite useful. That doesn't mean that they can't be competition. They "nefario" just have a giant head start on you. Seriously though, ideas are worthless without execution. Next great idea you have get coding and go for it! Recruit others if the idea is too big for just you.

Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Miners union ?

on: May 24, 2011, 08:53:59 AM

A union what for? Who's being oppressed by a powerful oppressor that requires the organisation of the masses? No - not a union. Maybe an "Association" - but then why? What professional standards do we have to uphold? What advocacy do miners need? I think the forums are working pretty well.
