There are at least 2 other GB around 1.5 BTC for 50 GH/s if we're talking about CoinTerra. The timeline just isn't worth it

This is true. But Bitcoin can and will have more optional complicated transactions in the future to protect both buyers and sellers.
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Contracts

Thing is you would need a trusted third party/arbiter. A company like paypal is ideally suited for that. Bitcoin isnt about to render that obsolete, quite the contrary.
Ive always seen bitcoin and paypal as natural allies. Just think of what paypal could bring to bitcoin; merchant services, wallet services, currency exchange, banking integration, conflict resolution/consumer protection, ..
Bitcoin is an opportunity for paypal and vice versa. sooner or later PP will see that too and either acquire bitpay or bury it real fast.


And a whole load of legal regulations (read troubles) along with it. Some people prefer bitcoin exactly because how cumbersome these 'regulations' might be. There's obviously a trade off here: security vs ease. Any trusted company that will act as middleman for BTC will also have many disadvantages of PP

Lol from KnC's BTC mining this thread went digging Indian chicks.

Well, Paypal has dispised Bitcoins for longer than BFL has been in business. It has to do with their "All transactions using Paypal must be tangible" policy. They don't allow Bitcoin transactions because it requires them to know something about Bitcoin in order to do their job in Bitcoin disputes. Although if someone sold Bitcoin for Paypal, they could very easily show it and proof using the blockchain, Paypal would have to learn how to use the Blockchain, so rather than doing that, they just lock your accounts.

^ This + Competition = Loss

Wow! that's clever! Mining isn't going to net any more profits unless you go REAL big. So most people are just liquidating their investments by selling hardware at outrageous prices. Now this guys thinks he can have his cake and eat it too! Keep your hardware while getting the money equivalent to selling it in 10 days...People are idiots for sure, but not brainless zombies who can't figure out how unprofitable this is

NVM....stupid me forgot to increase the Board Power Li to +20. It's now back to 640KH/s at a temp of 69 C with ambient at 35 C  Cheesy
167  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Low Hashrates after a Windows reinstall on: September 19, 2013, 09:25:44 AM
I have been mining scrypt with my Sapphire 7950 Vapor-X on Win 7 until the whole system seemed so laggy. Even a reboot took too long, finding nothing else wrong I just formatted and reinstalled Win 7 and all the drivers etc. Now running the very same script that got me ~635 KH/s is getting me ~520-540 KH/s. Here is the bat file

Code:
c:
cd\
cd cgminer-3.4.3-windows
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://pool1.us.multipool.us:7777 --gpu-threads 1 --gpu-engine 1045 --gpu-memclock 1455 --thread-concurrency 16384 -u coldbreeze16.1 -p x -w 256 --lookup-gap 2 -I 20 --gpu-vddc 1.125

Btw GPU vddc switch never worked, I have to set it in Trixxx on each startup. Undervolting to 1.131 V (from 1.25V). I was worrying if something could be fried? Or is it just a software thing?

looks ok to me  Huh What are you mining with? CPU? Use pooler's CPUminer for that case.
169  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [ANN][Multi-Coin][Stratum] multipool.in newbies support thread on: September 18, 2013, 08:29:43 PM
Even 10 Mh/s should show up, I'd done it for DGC@18KH/s for a couple days on CPU mining Cheesy I've been mining just fine the last 3-4 days. Double check your cgminer.conf /.bat file maybe?
170  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [ANN][Multi-Coin][Stratum] multipool.in newbies support thread on: September 17, 2013, 05:01:02 PM
Been mining there, but mostly just WDC. The pool jumps between coins so fast that it seems a lot of my shares are going waste. And you'll adding more scamcoins = more jumping....brrrr
171  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: BPMC Launch BF1 USB miner - probably the fastest USB miner in the World on: September 15, 2013, 06:42:28 PM
If I had the money I would buy some and quickly sell them for double on ebay.
It seemed to work well for people when the BE's came out.

Notice we are not selling them on Ebay?
Is that your way of saying "buy a bunch in a batch so you can resell and flip them for profit instead of mine on them like they are desinged for"

+1  ^this. Methinks they'll hardly ever ROI so they were actually just made for being resold, not mining  Grin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_fool_theory‎

I applaud Mr Hirsch for the community service he's doing and pledge to pay him 1000 MostlyShittyCoins (MSC) per month if he keeps doing this great job: make us laugh.

Sorry pinwheel, I couldn't reply you earlier in PM. I tried twice but the captcha and the 360sec wait drove me insane  Cry  Me and my friend invested in a GB rather than erupters as I thought they won't make ROI. They'd make good gifts though, not purchasing gifts that pricey.  Grin

Btw other threads were mentioning a price drop, 0.1 BTC each for 100+ or 0.12-0.15 BTC for less amount.

179  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: BPMC Launch BF1 USB miner - probably the fastest USB miner in the World on: September 12, 2013, 05:29:41 PM
lol! The Block Erupter runs .33 Gh/s and now costs .15BTC (considering the max in a GB- AND most importantly people are lining up for those suckers). 8*0.33=2.64GH/s @ 8*0.15=1.2BTC  
And you price these 2.1BTC! And that too at a minimum order of 5. At 10.5BTC I could buy 2 Blades for 8-8.5BTC and 15 Block Erupters. That'll give me more than 25GH/s, plus ASICminer has got local resellers=cheap shipping.

Oh my my! The GPU miner is up! I should check that one out now, then. Point my 7950 there for sometime rather than world coin or Digital coin. Wink Thnx
