All publicity is good publicity -- Anyone who hears about Bitcoin, even if in a negative connotation, has a chance to go online and do some of their own research. Those leaning libertarian enough will then decide to make an entrance.
The problem with ALL the Planet Money reporters is that they don't view Bitcoin as a currency, but rather a commodity. That's why its nothing but bash pieces coming out of NPR.

If you are trading relatively small potatoes (a couple hundred BTC and under), CampBX seems nice. Liquidity is not the best (though there is a dark pool) but ive never had a problem with lag or missed orders, etc.
They tend to trade about $1-5 cheaper than Gox.

In for 1 BTC / 12 chips worth. PM'ing right now.

Ok, thank you.  Just makes me jumpy, I'm not a mood to loose 85BTC today lol. I'm sad to see Bitfloor go, I really liked their platform. I was looking at CampBX, they seem good. Thoughts? Ive only done a small volume of trades at both, but in my mind, form-fit-function of CampBX is very similar to Bitfloor. |

Aw, damn. I still have USD in there. No email or anything. I even logged in earlier today. Now I have to register for ACH for a company whose bank account is closing?

Hi guys,
Can I use a new instance of the guiminer for my 2nd, 3rd card? I saw that a can select new miner tab BUT I cant see the hash rate as the pc is extremely unresponsive so its way easier to just have 3 windows of the miner.
Thank you

It would sure be nice if Avalon would release the PCB sources. The Avalon is built around a 10-chip module. That would be a great starting place.  If the chips are on the top, how is the heat getting to the heatsink on the other side of the PCB, wouldn't the board act as an insulator? Unless there is significant copper ON the PCB conducting the heat THROUGH to an exposed pad on the other side of the board. This is why QFN packages usually have large ground or gnd/thermal pads on the underside... good copper & via placement on a PCB can sink heat very well (and in some cases allow you to use PCB copper as a heatsink INSTEAD of a traditional extruded metal sink). |

I don't have the time to read 12 pages of posts right now, but I will when I am off work. However, I'd like to quickly chime in here to say that I am an electrical engineer who has done somewhere in the range of ~150 PCB designs from block diagram to mass production, including testing, some embedded C/C++, etc. If I can be of some help in the development of this open source mining rig, please let me know!
Like I said, I'll read the rest of the thread tonight and see where I can assist, if anywhere.

After the May11 crash (33 to 2), I think the new floor is 80-100. Next plow forward will be 500-600.

@tinman & all, I found it helpful to run CGminer by itself. If you go to the Console of guiminer (View -> Show Console) look for the line that is running the cgminer program. For instance one line for a 7950 in my rig looks like: 2013-04-15 18:42:12: Running command: C:\ltc\guiminer-scrypt_win32_binaries_v0.03\cgminer\cgminer.exe --scrypt -u samurai1200.worker -p password -o stratum+tcp://stratum.give-me-ltc.com:3333 --gpu-platform 0 -d 2 -w 256 -v 1 -I 19 -g 1 -l 1 -T --thread-concurrency 24000 I would just copy the part starting with "C:\" and ending with "24000" (but obviously with your own settings, unless you're also running a 7950) and run it in its own console (Start -> type "cmd" -> hit enter -> right click in window -> Paste -> hit enter). That way you can see if its throwing any errors that might help you figure it out. |

indeed, those temps are way too high. reference VRMs are rated at 5000 hours at 100 deg C (208 days). you'll likely kill em before that though. play with the intensity setting. my 7950 drops 10c when I drop from 20 to 18 intensity, with a loss of maybe 30kh/s.

Is there a way to set up a failover pool with the GUI? I'm impressed with the GUI and would prefer it to the command line, but the only negative seems to be that one is unable to setup failover pools. Of course, it could be me not knowing where to set it. AFAIK, no failover pools can be set up on the GUI, unless you're able to do that with a command switch? In which case you would put it in the "Extra flags" box. |

We have been graced by the Bitcoin gods with a second chance at some cheap coins.
Seriously. A transfer just cleared into my Dwolla, and I'm gonna be doin' some coin swoopin'. |

I'm getting an alert "errors occured" and the program crashes right after starting. ERROR:root:Exception:

On Win Xp x64 Any ideas why? Got the same error on a Win7 32 machine. Won't run. I did another install on a Win8 machine and it works fine there. Nice work, Tacotime. Now, how to get around that error on the Win7 machine? If you have your video card drivers installed but not the AMD SDK, guiminer crashes immediately. It's okay, I herp-derped on this too. |

Given current daily money supply of $2.8 billion from QE infinite and 3600 bitcoin, 10K is quite possible, but that will change when FED start to tighten
You seem to be ignoring the fact that outside the US nobody really gives a crap what the 'FED' thinks. Wrong. Something like 70% of all Forex trade is done with the USD as the quote currency. Interp/Extrapolated, that means most people interested in currencies outside the US give a crap what the Fed thinks. |

http://blockchain.info/address/1HQ3Go3ggs8pFnXuHVHRytPCq5fGG8HbhxSaw this transaction posted in BTC-e trollbox. I know this is mega-speculation.... but why not discuss? Is 69,000 BTC enough to start a panic sell? Is there more going on? Panic sell & strategic DDOS? I noticed a lot of popular bitcoin-related sites have struggled during these massive-Gox-volume periods (clark moody, bitcoinity, bitcoincharts, etc.) Or are these sites struggling because everyone with a BTC position is logging on to check out WTF is going on? Snowball effect? I have also seen the name Gekko around a bit, but haven't looked deeper than seeing the crappy Gekkopost blog.

CedarTec, if your serious about building a reputation, I'd love to just buy a chip. A single chip (I assume you will have extras, from failed dev attempts, and batch ASIC order miss-matches) with the pinout and the chip specification so I know what I'm doing when I design a small board for it.
Best of luck.
P.S. Your site could use some work.
This! |

Yeah nothing but hardware errors. I'm lost.

So, the lesson to learn from this all is?
Maybe do NOT give pictures or qualifications or anything else that can be analysed. It is far better to have a group of people with no chip experience whatsoever, make physically impossible projections and show some empty boxes (after 6 months).... That is something that can take THOUSANDS or orders and still seems credible to people. and maybe have a shoutbox, that your constantly lied to customers can hang out in all day chatting about video games and "when do you think Josh will say something again".
What's your point? Gotta get that trollin' fix? Do not call me a troll loser. My point is "I understand why Josh does not want to give his "customers" update photos". I also understand why Josh called people "cock sucking whores" when they pointed out what was wrong with the photos he DID post. Do you? Your prose is not amusing. |
