Failed again, and I'm 100% sure I answered all the questions correctly. Has this worked for anyone??

We switched our lil' mining pool to MinCoin a couple weeks back, and we don't have any plans on changing to a different coin any time soon. Feel free to join!

Be careful.
After finally getting a verification to go through (took a month), I've tried the instant buy feature over 20 times. Each time, the transaction is instantly cancelled as being "too high risk".  We're talking purchases of .25 btc...
The feature that used to work - 5 day wait - is no longer available.  They apologize in the error message and ask me not to give up but try again in a few days/weeks... what b.s.
no help from support staff either...

They sure are having a lot of growing pains for a company which received $6 million in funding.
$25 million, most recent round

Jesus. Well, that does show faith in Bitcoin from investors.

I've failed it three times now, and you have to wait 24 hours before trying again. I'm not stranger to verification procedures which use information from your credit reports, and I've never failed them in the past. I think I'm most annoyed by the redundancy of ID verification process. They've already verified my bank account, and verified my credit card. Is it even possible for me to be an impostor after those verification steps?

It might be easier for me to send them a copy of my drivers license, a sample of my blood, and my first born child.

Cake of course! That wasn't even a difficult question.
8  Other / Beginners & Help / Where do you keep your mining rigs? on: December 23, 2013, 12:52:14 AM
I was thinking of building a rig and putting it in my basement, because it's always cooler in the basement, than the rest of the house. Plus I don't want to hear the fans. The downside is basements tend to be a little more damp. I'm not sure what effect that would have on hardware.

Where do you keep your rig?

You won't get any decent replies on here. Still trying to get into the 'real' forum? Same here... Sad

Seems like such a waste. This forum will have nothing but nonsense posts from members trying to gain activity.
10  Other / Beginners & Help / Decent GPUs Which Are Available? on: December 22, 2013, 08:08:19 PM
So I was thinking of putting together my own little GPU based mining rig, but it seems graphics cards are in short supply these days. Even the ones being sold on eBay are outrageously priced, because the seller's know miners are buying them.

I'm looking to mine some low difficulty scrypt based coins (not Litecoin) so I don't need an amazing rig, but I would love to at least break 500kH/s. There are a lot of Asus graphics cards available on Amazon which are not too expensive, but I don't know how to roughly calculate how many kH/s a card can generate by looking at the hardware specs. Is there a mathematical formula for that kind of thing? What's the limiting factor on how many cards you can put on a single motherboard?

My plans are more hobby driven than profit driven, so I'm really not looking for anything fancy. Also I don't play games, so the rig would be a miner, and nothing else, which puts an upper limit on how much I'd be willing to spend. Any suggestions?
