This is a pretty nice gun. My b/f has the EMP version of it, which is basically the same thing but in 9 mike mike (I learned that from Transformers 3 )

You mean "a fool and his money are soon Bitcoin miner."

Wait, I'm confused.  Which scenario is correct:

1. Some unknown guy set up that American Revolution site and Facebook pretending to be Brett Backman (with an AKA of FooDSt4mP), ostensibly with incorrect info about Brett.  But then you hacked that site and created a payments@modernamericanrevolution.net (or whatever it was) and made yourself a Paypal account with it... which is kind of risky since the unknown guy who owns that site could just do a "Forgot my password" on Paypal and instantly have access to your account.

2. You (as in FooDSt4mP here the Bitcoin forums) set up that American Revolution site and Facebook using a false alias of Brett Backman (aka FooDSt4mP) to throw people off the trail of your real identity, which would explain how you have access to that Email account used for Paypal.

It's too early in the morning to wrap my head around this plot.

What is this 3% patch for phatk?

That's the same voltage that AMD GPU Clock Tool sets the GPU to any time you move it off stock clock settings.  I just got one of those $190 HIS 5870s from NewEgg and it seems pretty stable at 1050.  Anything over that it starts getting a little shaky though.  1050 is good for around 460MH/s but I scaled it back to 1030MHz for stability.

Only to find it completely out of stock of 6990s

Weird, I can hit Deepbit.net ok in my browser, but none of my workers can establish a connection

Whoat does Device Mangler say?

I suck at FPS games, but I'm still going to try BC3. It looks AMAZING from the Youtube previews I've seen!!!

Diamond 5870 1GB reference

• Core 990MHz
• Memory 355MHz
• Phoenix 1.50
• VECTORS BFI_INT WORKSIZE=256 AGGRESSION=11 FASTLOOPS=false -k phatk
• 438MH/s

HIS 5870 1GB non-reference

• Core 1020MHz
• Memory 355MHz

• 450MH/s

Speeds at normal clock:  Unknown

I got a question regarding the Difficulty History section (and please forgive me if this has already been answered before).  Why do some difficulty numbers have negative numbers next to them when they're clearly higher than the preceding number?

On the bright side, that means a fairly flat difficulty rise due to natural growth, which means you'll get more mileage out of your mining hardware!

Except that difficulty isn't determined by agreement.

Given the popular idea that difficulty follows price, I think that in order to estimate the BTC value at the end of the year, we must first extrapolate the difficulty at the end of the year and determine what price a Bitcoin would have to be to support it.

318MH/s OC'd at 1020/355MHz.  Aggression=12 Worksize=256 phatk and some other settings that I can't remember.

I can push it to 1050/355MHz and hit a solid 325-327MH/s but it sometimes locks after a few hours, which to me isn't worth the 7-9 extra MH/s.

...and it can almost run Crysis.

WTF, you paid close to $1500 for two 6970s???  That sux

OMFG 3 different models of 5870 are now available!  Including a reference board!!  I LOVE the looks of a reference board!!!

I'm not sure if this is a really good value though.  You can get similar hashing performance (and better gaming performance) from a 6950 for $3 more and you can buy those all day long.  I think the 5870 still edges it out for power draw though.

Good find!  Already bought a diff version yday!
