The hell has this thread become!
Yeah, what happened to "16nm sales to public start shortly"?!  I guess it's this hell or the other "pre-order" hell... can't have it any other way or maybe both ways!!! oh noes... The day bitcoin mining hardware is sold as zero day announcement immediate delivery you know the payoff is none. |

Can we get a per country/region/city graph of the blocksize votes?

I think you would want the price to be unpegged, so that the market can decide the value of altcoins; so the best float to the surface (become more valuable) and the copycats/broken/dishonest ones sink to the bottom.
This whole smart this / micro that is just ignorant, we already have the ecosystem to completely replace FIAT gov./bank/company death spiral.
XT, Classic all of those are just the last breath of the super debt cycle.

I'm just curious why you would want to peg the exchange rate?
To me the scaling solution of bitcoin is altcoins!

Hm, is slush voting for Classic?
I think you should add a per account vote before you start broadcasting votes no?

Here's my collection. One from first batch of each, look at how the components are soldered by hand and the rugged heatsinks. Gonna be worth something sometime. |

I don't understand what info you're basing your opinionated statements on. We have seen great interest from integrators to our 16nm chip and are confident mining devices based on our chip will be available to public very soon. Possibly as early as end of march.
Good stuff, where will these "official" Bitfury integrators be posted? |

People only think about roi!
Heat should not be wasted!
Mining should be combined with other activities that need the heating!
From the smallest to the biggest farms, mining should be combined with the need of heat in the houses or at commercial & economic level! I agree! So back on topic, where are those 16nm miners, will we see them before next winter? |

I agree with everything, including the bad parts about me, I wish I had contributed more than 1GH for 2 years.
Let's stay open and positive about changes in all directions, they might benefit everyone in the long run.
I hope you can focus on the MMO and really; that's the important project.

Vanillacoin will be another coin with Blake256 algo (8rounds)
in other words Whirlpool-512 XOR failed to give hash/watt that you can get from 8 round Blake-256 so they are swapping POW algo!  good to see some common sense in use when it comes to algo's choice though which seems rare these days  still no word on auxpow though and I still think it needs use case as with most coins? Seems Vanillacoin is using single sha256 for coinbase merkle though, so no way to merge mine? sha256d = blakecoin merkle sha256 = blakecoin serialization 8 round blake256 = everything else (POW, checksum etc etc..) would need auxpow to test which is upto the dev of Vanillacoin! Ok, funny how things turn out, first vanilla takes a big proportion of blakecoins y1.15, then they switch to blake and take the remaining x1.15... I hope you will work for merged mining. Since vanilla is roughly x10 more profitable (I'm not known for my calculation skills, in a few days I'll see) I had to switch my x1.15 cluster to suprnova.cc and vanilla. Also the icon/logo is better looking, which is important for adoption. Capped to ~30 million, better for a planet with soon capped population like ours. Not sure about that 0.7% PoS interest though... If the numbers turn out correct I think my VR MMO will use vanilla ingame. |

Ok thx, did not realize the wallet kept the infomation it needs to guarantee the funds are actually there!

Just watched this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWeIEFBrItE1) The pruning must be smart enough to keep blocks for old addresses when you start pruning? 2) If so, it's very important to have the right wallet in place before you begin the pruning? 3) How many blocks upstream does the pruning keep for security for each transaction for addresses in the wallet? 4) How is pruning started, just by rebooting the bitcoind with a flag? 5) Is the bitcoind then busy or can it take RPC requests during that time? 6) How long time does the pruning take? Is there a plan to add some way for the pruned bitcoind to ask the network for old blocks for a particular address if you import it? |

I remember way back there was some plan to build a new forum, obviously that never happened.
Is it still interesting to the owners of bitcointalk.org?

zTex 1GH / 40W BF16 50GH / 0.06W? 40 / 0.06 = 666 (how many BF16 for 40W)666 * 50 = 33300 (each BF16 gives 50GH)Then rounded down for at the wall... what's wrong? Edit: You're right, that's completely wrong, 0.06 is per GH not per BF16 so ~666 is right... sorry!  Still impressive!  |

Neat! Hoping for passive cooling.
btw, these are 30.000x 666x more efficient than my zTex x1.15 in 4 years. Not bad "end of moores law".

Hm, any1 else having problems with the site?

Yes, us BFL loosers are atleast spoiled with BFG!
What about 21co, can you mine on any pool with those?

Anyhow, winter of 2016/17 will be when we mine with 16nm which is the last order of magnitude performance increase.
I mine for heat, so for me it's a no brainer.

TLDR; do not sell BTC to pay electricity
I mine for heat, which translates to exchanging fiat for "more anonymous" BTC and getting the heat for free.
The only way to avoid confiscation of BTC is to mine.
I'm guessing it's about 99% certainty that we will get cashless base salary in the west when things go sour here, and that means they will ban private holding of BTC.
The whole "mining is over" meme is so old economy.
To the moon and beyond (confiscation).
