PPS is 10% on DeepBit... I have a feeling you're going to end up with the same percentage.

I'd love a 10g bar in silver with a BTC-themed design. Someone 'shop this:

Not working with Firefox 6, for which Websocket is enabled by default.

MtGox needs to update their WebSockets 'stack'...

Received and sent code on PM. Thanks for your business!

As always more business is welcome.

Got code. Worked perfectly. (I'm a U.S. subscriber...)

Holy crap.  1.30x instant difficulty now for 2.35 million! 

DB was over +10% lucky over the past 24-hours.
BTC Guild is holding +24% lucky over the past 24-hours.

That's why the 'Instant Difficulty' indicator shows 2.35 million...

Cheers,
Kermee

P.S. I'm still not worried about a Diff. Increase.
P.P.S. http://dot-bit.org/tools/nextDifficulty.php -- I've found it to be too 'aggressive' in its estimating in regards to Bitcoins. http://blockexplorer.com/q/estimate is a lot more accurate.

If separately sold, $175 for the mobo/processor/ram and $100 for the PSU.

@Kermee, ok, i'll let you know.

If you still have it on the 24th, I'll purchase it (One-week from my post on the 17th). =)  Been spending too much of my mined Bitcoins lately here out of 'Goods' Wink

74  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: am i going to go over 30kilowat mining? on: August 21, 2011, 08:45:09 AM
Found it:

http://www.sgcity.org/utilities/sgrates.php

BTW- Your rates are damn cheap ever after the Customer charge.

their are 12 units in my complex (building b) and dozens of buildings  i dont know how many would be on the same grid.

I think you're making this more complicated than it is.

-- Basically, they're saying if you're drawing more than 30kW on your service, you're no longer classified as residential meaning you're either pulling more than 250A @ 120V, or more than 125A @ 240V, or a combination of both.

-- If you receive an electric bill directly from the PUD which varies in amount between billing periods and shows your kWh consumed and bill rate, then you have your own electric meter from your MDU versus a single meter (shared across all units in which your 'rent' would include a fixed rate for electric).

-- Since there are 12 units in your complex, I'll bet 10 BTC that there's 1200A service which is then fed into 12 smaller 100A load centers per MDU with it's own meter.  That's a 'typical' setup from a PUD for MDU's.

So in other words, if you do the math, you'll technically *NEVER* be able to pull a load over 30kW.

TL;DR version:

What kind of set up would i have to have to go over 30kilowat if there are any math people on to help?

NONE before you'd overload your load center/service feed before you'd be able to pull a load over 30kW.

But as an example, my 4x5830 rigs use about 640W.  I'd have to run 47 rigs, or 188x5830 GPU's (For 60.16 GH/s) to hit a 30kW draw.

Cheers,
Kermee

P.S. More fun math...

60.16 GH/s @ Difficulty factor 1805701 gives you 33.5108862792 BTC per day/1.3962869283 BTC per hour.
33.5108862792 BTC @ BTC/USD of $11.37 is $381 per day or $15.88 an hour.
Your electricity costs (before Customer charge) for 30kW is $2.043 USD/hour or $49.032/day.
Assuming your rigs are paid off, that's $13.84/hour of profit which equates to $332 day or $9,960 month assuming near-0 variance.

K so I have my machines running 6950s perfectly fine on win 7. My dad has a mac pro 3.1 which i took my 5770 (pc version) and popped it in. Works fine open cl hits everything hits. Except im only getting 100 mhashes per second on it.... using diablo miner. any suggestions? not that big a deal i guess, he just needed open cl for final cut which he is learning (he works for apple) lemme kno thx.

That sounds about par for the course with OpenCL drivers under OSX.  If you Bootcamp it... it'll run at the expected MH/s.

I'm puzzled by your comment. What actual work is being performed by the 1% here?

Transistor gating/switching for the 2.15 billion transistors in a 5850.  There is 'work' being done still.

Like I said... it's less than 1%.  You cannot apply 'high school' level of physics in entropy with semiconductors.

It 'work' efficiency wasn't an issue, then we wouldn't need to continue to shrink dies sizes.

Did these ever sell ?

I haven't pushed them this week at all.  They're going up on CL mid next week.

78  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: Estimating heat output - 5850 on: August 20, 2011, 12:09:20 AM
Do transistors actually move?  I'm not familiar enough with how they work to know the answer...

In a sense, the physical 'gates' do for the switching. =)

CPUs, GPUs, uC's, and most other semiconductors are less than 1% efficient.

So yes, basically 100% of TDP comes off as heat.

Mick,

Just sent you an e-mail to reserve at least 50 for me, possibly 100 from the '2nd mined block'.

Also, if you do any larger rounds than 1 gram silvers, (1/2 oz., etc), I'm definitely interested! -- Same goes for any Gold rounds you may or may not decide to do Wink

Cheers,
Kermee
