I'm thinking about getting back into mining again, but reading about this is somewhat unsettling. Are there any legit ASIC vendors out there?

Just like the title says :] I have 2.00 BTC I want to sell @ Preev rate for Walmart to Walmart, unless you know of another cheap payment solution. Escrow will be used, unless you're an active escrower here I pay escrow fee, you pay sending fee. Please reply here or PM me if you're interested. I'm also not looking to break this up into fractions, unless it's a full 1.00 BTC.

SOLD!

At first I thought it was a troll post. Nobody uses THAT much TP In fact I've seen tests done where using too much paste results in reduced effectivity.

Has anybody implemented a viable system for rebilling, for subscription-based services?

Pff.. amateur :]

Yeah but then I'd have to eat the Tx fee when I decide to consolidate each one of those change addresses which might hold an amount less than my Tx fee setting. Can I just do a 0-fee consolidation into an address in my own wallet? What are the risks of that? I'm not too concerned about confirmation time since I'd only do this periodically. Sorry for the n00b questions; I'm new to this Armory stuff :]

Yeah, it's not a huge deal. I was just wanting to preemptively set my change address for all the wallets I use in one fell swoop. I guess I can just do it as I actually use the wallets =]

Sorry if this is a n00b question, but does anybody know if it's possible to specify a change address for a wallet without having to actually send something from that wallet first? I looked it over for a quick minute but it wasn't obvious to me, if it's even possible to begin with.

If there is a site that does this, I'd like to see it. I'm not sure how you'd do it other than manually following the input/outputs of an address, and even then I'm not clear on how you'd draw a relationship between different addresses wrt ownership.

What aspect of Bitcoin do you want to become an expert on? Mining? Trading? Development? There's so many different layers to it, not the least of which is the protocol itself :]

Sounds a little shady IMHO.

After ASICs come computers that are made from something other than matter and occupy something other than space

And I thought being stuck at 1.2M difficulty was bad. Yikes!

Thanks There were a few vendors for open-air rigs using extruded aluminum with those plastic corner pieces. I could get the hardware from Home Depot, but I don't have the tools/time to drill all the holes.

I know this has been covered before, but the Search feature is disabled. Does anybody know where I can get a turn-key open-air  chassis? The kind that people used to build GPU mining systems on. Basically I'm looking to build a bad ass gaming system with easy access

I use Armory, but it's only as secure as the OS/computer it's run on.

I'm selling my like-new Elinchrom D-Lite 2 IT strobe kit, which is perfect for a small home-studio type of setup. Only used once for about 100-150 actuations then boxed back up and it's been sitting in my closet ever since. Cost ~$850 new and comes with box & docs. BTC1.2 shipped, from Phoenix, AZ. Escrow is fine, or if you're a long time user, I can ship first.

I'd love to be able to change my av to something else. I'm kind of sick of this one since I don't even play SC2 anymore.

Those aren't Bitcoin 2.0. Those are just secondary protocol chains.

This is an original idea and has never been posted before. N00b
