+1 they're services rock and have a stable platform but a btc balance would be nice to have too. I'm still quite amazed by the speed they implemented bitcoin with their platform. Happy customer since 2011

Good luck with your business and, as a side note, I didn't like you spamming me with some facebook group on PM

edit: flix has apologized in PM, btw I voted "Other" in this pool because it doesn't have the option "Food" that i'm interested in

haha, the copyright is yours i just used it without change because they were perfect. Should start pouring paperclips or personal autographs on ebay with free bitcoins so they find out what the free market is. They trowed their TOS at me a few times without specifying clearly why the suspension, say it's a routine check.

I got suspended for selling paperclips with free bitcoins 2 days ago, and yes i sent the damn clips with a tracking number. They want all kind of documents to re-enable my account. I had only positive votes with them but the fees are killing me so i think i will pass doing something about it. They will get to know bitcoin in the end.

soy un copiota, perdona polvos pero lo has resumido por mi tambien

i always wondered why that happened, thanks for explaining.

I pondered a few days over the MM issue and came with the conclusion that we will have to make bitcoin client "smarter", like the people that use it, to avoid issues like this. The easier way to try solving empty blocks issue would be:

- track source ip of incoming txs in memory
- client wouldn't accept only blocks from other peers, while working normally (not downloading blockchain), should have at least a few txs from that peer in memory
- blocks should contain at least one incoming transaction from that peer

Empty blocks are like blank pages in a book but they come with a prize for the miner even when not writing anything on it. I know sometimes even big pools can come up with a <1 sec empty block (freebie) so it will be the miners election if they want a better network quality (no empty blocks) or situations like this in the future.

TL;DR Miners will have to decide over the MM issue with their hashing power.

hard to believe given those projects do floating point operations in their software and use Nvidia GPUs

you could have better luck on ogrr.com, a gamers heaven that uses bitcoin as forum currency

assuming all the mined bitcoins are in the possession of the same entity he or them should now have aprox. 35000 btc...

I'm getting some popcorn, this is getting interesting to watch, no tx blocks count have almost tripled in 3 months

+1 buena comunicación y un precio sin igual, seguire comprando

Lol, you guys have an acute sense of humor that i enjoy being part of 

@Rassah thanks for clarifying the pledges and funds part, as for me, i'm ready to give my bitcoin for the next charity

Keeping up the Bitcoin100 spirit...

CCNA, it helped me study more in depth the things Cisco required me to know. It doesn't serve if you don't know nothing at all, heh

i know i don't

I passed the exam with 960 score, thanks

if you read the OP or the thread name it should light that bulb over your head... hint: kickstarter

You have too much unknown variables to be able successfully calculate all that, like primary and secondary circuit water volume and ambient exposure (insulation missing), inefficient heat exchangers and all that. Building it with a decent size tub, exchangers and GPU's, with the ability to add or remove some of them from the circuit easily, should give better results to reach some conclusions.

A rough estimate is that you would lose more than half of the energy you put in, so with 1kw rigs should give aprox 400-500w heat, and this value goes down with more energy we put in, better for the miner in this case.

wow great news, so we have a winner ?

i took a short glimpse at their website and history and liked it, they seem to have a strong purpose too

a miner's wet dream... free energy or heating, whichever comes first

You could have a adjustable pump on the GPU side to increase or decrease the flow in case the cooling rate isn't sufficient, and make sure it's a big tub and have more than one heat exchanger, the rest is getting paid to enjoy such hot tub with family and friends


didn't saw that post rjk thanks, my fav line...


i should look into it more, yeah

The tub looses heat over it's surface and body if not insulated. There are formulas to calculate the temperatures the system will reach equilibrium with a given input energy (GPU temps) and natural dissipation surface of the tubs. Don't forget to take into consideration overall loses in the pipes and heat exchanger too.

The answer is NO, you won't be put in the situation of needing a water-aid radiator, imo

A heat exchanger indeed but not necessarily too big if you place the coil on the bottom of it link, casascius is on to something here.

Maybe we could use existent solar heat exchangers for hot tubs and and have it all installed in no time. The overall temperature would keep a constant level given the water surface with the ambient is far greater than a fan cooled radiator and you would have the water heated for free.

I suppose you already know that GPU water circuit can't be bothered with anything else than distilled water so a heat exchanger is the key part in doing all this.
