My BFL PSU just went out Friday night while I was out of town. So I missed out on mining this weekend due to it. Just buy a good PSU and you will need to jump it with a wire since you are not hooking it up to a motherboard, but you will be much better off.
Thanks for the responses Photon939 & Aurel57. Pardon my ignorance, but how big a PSU (wattage wise) and how would I go about plugging in the BFL 60GH/S cube as well as the jumping starting part of it? 400W (or higher) with 2 x PCI-e 6 power connectors should be enough. You connect the PCI-e connectors to the BFL Single and jump pins 4 and 5 of the ATX connector. |

I merge-mine NMC straight into my btc-e wallet. Every now and then when I have accumulated 100-200 NMC, I convert to BTC and withdraw.
No problems so far, though I have to say I don't really trust them and I could care less if I lost some NMC.

most of these FUD posts seem to be becoming a little game for the trolls. with them trying to see how far their FUD can spread and if their FUD can get as far as mainstream media.
i have no idea why the forum moderators thought they should remove the newbie zone.. if its about disk space to hold all these messages, then they should use their donatons to buy more server space, and not allow newbies to troll the forum, as its starting to become noticeably worse
I thought that server space for this forum was provided by Mark, at least at one point in time. Is this still the case? |

If he was using the standard client there was no encrypted wallet.dat back in 2010, trust me on this one. |

Upgraded one Nov Jupiter to 1.00. Went from 680 to 685 GH/s. Can't complain here. Will do the other tomorrow.

If you can put up with the noise, why not? They are still mining more BTC than they are using electricity, even at $0.30 / kWh.
I believe I have 8 running - some hidden away in a basement and others in the back of a data center rack.

Just curious if these have actually shipped out yet.
KnC said 2nd quarter 2014. That could be 1-April to 30-June. The norm in this industry is that they would be boxing the first orders on June 30. |

I don't get those people who complain that ASICs won't ROI, and then they go ahead and build giant GPU farms that won't profit unless they can count on reselling their used hardware on eBay for >75% cost after 1 year.

those guys probably fought hard, really hard to get the first order completed ($25K), I'm guessing they borrowed from friends and family and were physically and mentally spent by the time the second big deal came around, THAT proved they were not bigtime anything, they were not even connected wannabeees,
Don't kid yourself. Those guys were pretty well known on localbitcoins . They had runners working for them doing local cash trades in some major cities outside of Florida. Even though they kept their public transactions below $10K, they were definitely flying above the radar and I am pretty sure they could easily handle custom $25k - $30k transactions. After the arrests, a few of the larger localbitcoins dealers went off the platform as a response to all this witch hunting. This might be a good thing, if it forces cash traders to be more cautious and low key. |

Whoever posted this doesn't have an idea that pile could not be 18 billion dollars as he/she claims. It is impossible. That amount in millions okey but in billions no way. Other than that it is very profitable to be a druglord, we all know that.  I million in Ben Franklins can fit into a 17 inch laptop bag. How may laptop bags would you need to fit that stash? |

It does not really make sense to do this by brand. Take Corsair for example. There is a big difference in quality between the Corsair AX series and the Corsair CX series.

Better to use molex and convert it to 8-pin. I hope this is a joke. A molex typically has only one 12V wire in the harness. |

The premise that people would attempt to double-spend real world micro transactions (e.g. get free coffee or even a cart of groceries) is absurd.
For larger transactions, such as buying gold bullion or a Lamborghini, waiting for 6 confirmations is reasonable. Besides, I doubt you could register a car with the DMV in the time it takes to do 6 confirms.
I do a lot of localbitcoins selling directly from my Android wallet, and the buyer has always been happy to hand over thousands of USD and walk away once they see evidence of the Tx broadcast.

I can see them cracking down on the digital currency but they have no right to block sales of any kind of hardware. stop spreading disinformation.
They have every right to make make up the rules on their own service... That is not entirely true. If, for example, some state legislature passes a law that makes it illegal for companies to freeze funds for over 90 days without providing cause, then PayPal's rule of freezing funds for up to 180 days would now become illegal in that state. They (PayPal) would need to modify their ToS for residents of that state if they want to continue doing business there. |

Unless it keeps going lower. Been a lot of bad press lately. Arrests in the US, Bitcoin made illegal in Russia, 2 out of 3 exchange halting withdrawals. I respect you for keeping your cool far better than me.
I was here when it went from 30 to 2. No way a price of 450 scare me, from 30 to 450 is a good news here, not a bad one  Yeah, somehow I still remember you getting all excited when the price went to $7. I know it already reached 7 but i was sleeping so i open the thread now.  |

I just sold some BTC on localbitcoins for $20-$30 more than the Gox/Bitstamp price. Weird, considering that I was taking liquidity.

That's great! Is there more information about it? Can't see a word about it on their page.
Image, magnetic and UV checks. |

It's trick question. You cannot hold virtual currency.
