Update about the USB hubs: I didn't see anything after a quick look. I don't see why you couldn't just use a patch panel and run them via serial port though.

Do you have any low RPM alternators? Say 100RPM-200RPM or so?




Sorry, I don't think so.
123  Economy / Goods / Re: Accepting BTC for surplus technology on: October 05, 2012, 10:15:40 PM


dang it - you keep sucking my back in with your 'real hardware' arguement.

Yes Quote me on that 208v w/management and one of those massive rack cases. And some weight in patch cables or cable fragments...




I'd sell you a rack mount housing and a monitored PDU for 180USD, but it's big enough to require freight shipping. Where are you, regionally? I could be enticed to deliver it....

At that price I'd load it up with patch cables, power cables, fans, wire management brackets, mount the PDU, and throw some more goodies in there. I could probably find a working rack mount APC backup unit, I'd throw that in if you wanted to buy a 1u-2u server for 100-200 bucks. I also have a 4u RAID array that takes 16 sata hard drives if, you know, you are into that kinda thing.

I'll get you an exact make and model from the PDU tomorrow so you can check out the specs, it's not on the webpage it's in my personal kit. Because it is awesome.

82 is a crazy high number! Holy moly!

I've seen a few of his threads and they really REALLY aren't well thought out.

Again, if the content is questionable, I'll happily move it to the archive or it can be deleted.

Where is that objectivist superman from your threads, Atlas? I thought you promoted self-regulation in order to not require others to do it for you. Nobody is daring to enter the discussing of your 'content', this is straight up about the number of threads you are compulsively creating. 82 in less than a month means you can't stop yourself and this will go on forever.

Well?

I'm just catching up on all this, but I am ASTOUNDED by what usagi has going on here.

The conflict of interest is patently true, the NYAN accounts are being shut down out of order, CPA is an absolute scam, and all he has to say is that folks with questions are 'IDIOTS' and then demand they stop posting.

I'm really amazed at how little leverage ya'all have against someone that is so obviously fleecing the hell out of your community. How he doesn't have a scammer tag is beyond me.

a: YOU ARE AN IDIOT AND BANNED FROM MY THREAD

I literally just saw this happen. How long until Usagi gets the scammer tag? NYAN may not have been a complete scam, but CPA most certainly seems to have been an outright fraud.
128  Other / Meta / Re: Dealing with Signature spam ? (Here's my today's irrevelant post) on: October 05, 2012, 08:57:00 AM
I've looked into adding a height restriction, but it requires a lot of modifications to the parseBBC function to accurately determine the signature's height unless I want to ban a lot of markup in signatures (which maybe I do).

Why bother parsing the signature markup when you can just put this in the CSS?

Code:
.signature {
  max-height: 30pt;
  overflow: hidden;
}

Abstinence is never the answer.

This is about you, Dank.

I never said anything bad about technology.  Now that we have so much knowledge from technology, we can efficiently communicate and correct the flaws caused by an ego bound society.

Perfect

* Limit size of signature,  Text size of no more than 3 line and size 10 ?

This is something I would very much like to enforce. I've looked into adding a height restriction, but it requires a lot of modifications to the parseBBC function to accurately determine the signature's height unless I want to ban a lot of markup in signatures (which maybe I do).

So instead of outright banning the behavior you think it would be wise to put some rules into effect to at least minimize the influence of what are viewed as bad decisions. Why not let people make impossibly huge signatures and encourage people to carefully weigh ignoring people who take it 'too far'. It might be good for the forums too, if you know what I mean. (financially). Heck, I bet BFL would support any such move... and they wouldn't be alone!

Really, what innovation lies in a sig waiting to be let free without the shackles of size restriction?

Do you happen to have enterprise grade USB hubs laying around?

I'll look around tomorrow, actually. 'Enterprise Grade USB' is probably a shitton of high end usb controller cards in a server with a backplane covered in ports. A 'usb hub' is some scrub-tier consumer garbage that I wouldn't count on for my livelihood at any cost. Boggles the mind!

Another thing ya'all might be into, we have literally thousands of power supplies. I'd sell most of em for 1btc each. Get a few bigger power supplies, you don't want to run 'em over 70% (hell even 50% is kinda crazy) capacity consistantly. (PS, Server power supplies are awesome)

Also, does ANYONE do powerline monitoring? I've got a 208 powerstrip that actually has a webserver with an rj-45 port, this allows network monitoring of power draw from each outlet. Even remotely. I'd almost say that if I owned any amount of a serious mining operation I'd want power monitoring available.

Atlas, why is your 'Ignore' link highlighted?

 Huh


Everybody with a controversial posting style or the ability to form ones own opinion here has that. I consider it honorable  Grin

You've got it too!

The world is MAD!

I saw this picture in one of the FPGA threads :


Do people want a few cases like this? I can put together some frames, gutted. I'm surprised everyone is using commercial hubs for this stuff too. They DO make enterprise grade USB equipment.

Hell, I'd love to build an actual server rack up to run a gob of ASIC or FPGA equipment. I probably have the kit laying around to knock a few of them out within a week. Golly, I'd even spraypaint it custom for a fee.

The build quality on those BFL machines is absolute garbage. I might put kits together of replacement fans and send it out to folks so they have them in anticipation. We literally have over 10,000 fans laying around of various sizes. Nice ones, usually. As a person who professionally destroys multi-thousand dollar enterprise computer equipment, sometimes, I can say that those 30k dollar units are in now way commercial grade. "USB powered from the PC" is like someone speaking in tounges, it is so alien.


hmmmmmm Lips sealed

Where is the contractually required bidwall at .99 for NYAN.A ? Is CPA still honouring its contract for NYAN.A ?

Since this is being asked repeatedly I assume you have prepared a statement?

Make a wiki! 
137  Economy / Securities / Re: [CPA] Should CPA close out and make a final dividend payment? on: October 03, 2012, 06:58:34 AM
Its not only Nyan. The same goes for all its other customers too. Thats why I said, you cant just close CPA and transfer its assets to its shareholders without making whole your customers and creditors first, and thats not so easy. CPA's assets are premiums paid by its customers to get an insurance, taking those funds and forgoing the insurance is theft.

Yes CPA cant just close and renege on all its insurance  contracts.

I guess new SLA's have to be negotiated, unless there is no renegotiation clauses in the existing ones.

It might be prudent to send a notification to your community the need to hire additional insurers in order to ensure none suffer from unannounced service outage.

What say these existing clients? Their thoughts matter more than mine, of course. This thread isn't their notification is it?

Gavin and the EFF are your first and biggest hurdles for Bitcoin.

Great job Atlas. Are you going to make a page for all related government agencies (SEC, IRC, Interpol, etc) or will you post a page for each of them?

edit: Hey Atlas, I can roll you a wiki of your own if you'd like.
139  Economy / Securities / Re: [CPA] Should CPA close out and make a final dividend payment? on: October 03, 2012, 05:32:23 AM
That's a totally reasonable question.

Calling people names is not how grown ups argue.  I haven't seen one legitimate point, using logic, that disproves my statements.

You consistently claim that investments with you are investments in YOU and not your words.

I have no question.
