As estimates show it won't make more than about 13.8 BTC in it's lifetime  (assuming the difficulty shifts from 30% to 38% jumps given the new hardware coming) I can offer you 8BTC to hedge my bet..

I make the above offer to point out that you are doing pretty good with the offers you already have on the table, if someone is willing to pay more than the system will make them back I think you should jump on it while the offer is still good..

Paid last night, put a lot of trust he will come through on this. Haven't received package and can't get tracking number from him now even though he is online... Hoping it's just an oversight on his part and we are good for tomorrow..

Assuming large difficulty spikes don't hit when more of the new batch hit the market looking like it might make 15BTC in it's lifetime (not including operating costs, etc..)... It's hard to ask for 20 BTC, at the current exchange that's even jumping past ebay prices, but I wish you the best...

As for offers, I have 8.60968308 BTC burning a hole in my pocket so that's my best offer.

I expect you are assuming the difficulty never increases again? Using the difficulty trend it is actually a little over 12BTC after 60 days HOWEVER in the lifetime of the miner it will not break 18BTC, this of course doesn't include operating costs..

You ran this in such an unprofessional way, where is the guy who offered you 20BTC and why is he not in this thread?

I'm selling some 4MH/s+ systems, little higher end than you might be looking for but hit me up if you are interested...

You've got me on that one, I am interested where I can turn that around tomorrow as well for 32BTC.. Hoping he can tell us both..

I am trying to sort through the getwork logic in Anubis, given the fact that with the stratum protocol getwork != number of shares the calculations are off.

Hoping someone can provide some recommendations about how one might go about calculating something meaningful regarding total shares vs. getwork requests to in turn calculate meaningful discards statistics?

Based on current difficulty trend I'll make 8.3 BTC on this unit.. Really hard sell at 32 BTC..

When is your expected delivery date?

Since you played such a messed up game to get to the point where you posted an asking price, and made such bold claims with respect to profit let's put some perspective on this.. What we do know is with difficulty trending up the way it is, if BTC pricing holds I'll stand to make $4K after an entire year, at which point it's no longer profitable to keep it running...

How long is the auction running for?

What's interesting is how all of these activities tend to drive the community toward the kinds of rules and regulations that many tend to despise.. I know the answer will be that "we can do it better" but ultimately I think it will drive down the same path because the community as a whole isn't much different, ultimately purists aren't driving the value of bitcoins, the same types that play in other financial markets are.

So integrity doesn't count in your book, hope your not trying to improve your reputation here given how you misrepresent items..

On Windows I had better luck running 5+ GPUs using the 12.x drivers but it was never stable for long periods of time if at all.

You may not want to hear it but if you want to run more then 4 reliably you might have better luck jumping to Linux. I have run 8 for weeks on end with anywhere between 4 (4x5970)and 6 (2x5970 4x5870) physical cards and everything works great.

Bottom line is that if he owns his properties free and clear and has decent credit as stated any bank would drop him an equity loan with one of the investment properties as collateral,  they don't ask nor care what you do with the money in that case..

I've experienced much the same in my professional life and seen many hundred of thousands, if not millions of dollars being invested to "secure" a system (using the term in the abstract) without a comprehensive understanding of the system from end-to-end. I make a great living helping commercial and govt. customers address issues and generally the breakdown isn't that one person is or isn't an expert at everything but rather a lack of understanding with respect to what they do and do not know.

Many people, including those that "secured" Bitcoinica have a certain focus area that does not seem to extend into the OS, physical security, access mechanisms, etc. and while quite valuable as a component of a comprehensive solution they are not a solution in themselves and that is the fundamental breakdown.  I don't think this latest theft and the subsequent work to address will ultimately fix anything unless they bring in additional consultants that can provide a end-to-end plan to access and address the system, software, processes, etc...

No, it's a Java app and Diablo compiles it regularly, just download Java binary and run it...

Modern? Are you looking for specific features or a UI, asking because DiabloMiner is by no means outdated and is kept up with all of the latest optimizations, etc..

Surprised the tool is still a top 10 since others are maintaining a higher average hash rate, hopefully the tide will turn..
