I have been waiting months to launch this.  BTC needs durable goods!   Me and some friends started a new company focused on finding new ways to reuse stuff normally thrown away.   Our first product is this!



Its a 316L Stainless Steel Top that turns any small mouth canning jar into a drink bottle!  
It has a Thin FDA Silicone gasket to seal against the glass and is completely non-chemical leach no matter whats in it,  how hot it is or with sunlight.

Here is our Video for our Social Media Launch on StartSomeGood.com: http://startsomegood.com/Venture/ecojarz/Campaigns/Show/help_to_finally_make_upcycling_cool_with_ecojarz
(if you really want to help us out,  support the campaign so we can get better tooling!)

We are working on a all Silicone version that will be soft and geared towards youngsters and people who love to drink stuff boiling hot.   We also figured out a way to turn any small mouth jar into a Blender using blades that you drive with a drill!  We should have that up in a few weeks time.  There is about a dozen other Ideas down the pipe too.

Here is a link to the website, and the Purchase page: http://www.ecojarz.com/bitcoin/
Prices are roughly 11.00 USD for a single Drink top, and 24.00 USD for a three pack.





Let me know what you think I am really excited about this, and I am really happy to finally have something to offer the BTC community.  We only have a very limited amount of product and Everyone on this forum can purchase them with BTC over a month before any other sales start.

I just ordered, and the order number was in the mid 5000's         

This is good stuff,   I have not purchased from Seller, but I've enjoyed Water (non-dairy) Kefir for a long time.   Considering its very difficult to buy this stuff I would say this is a good deal!

What about an address for every second, or minute that rotates?  Or a preset number of address that flag and unflag after use so they don't get used twice?

I guess the part that is the biggest hurdle for me, is how difficult the code would be that 1, generates a address to send to the customer, and two checks back every 5-10 minutes until it sees that address contain a balance that matches the request.  Then upon 'seeing' the balance validate with say (5 checks) it notifies me via email?  Or a dashboard screen?

Gah I haven't had any coffee yet!

So what we do?!   


I think I can do this if I can pull together enough pieces.    Edd is correct, it sounds really easy.  I'm not a PHP programmer but I can hack it pretty good.   And I understand what I'm trying to do.   Edd is also right that I don't need any BTC stored on the server,  I wouldn't want that.   I'd prefer it being transferred to semi-offline locations like a local Wallet with some type of backup.

But the trick is to verifiy who made the payment and that it cleared.   What Im really afraid of is having to do this whole thing manually, and constantly parse a huge database of addresses for validated payments and then backtrack through orders to see whom I sent that address too. gah,  for only a couple dollars profit per transaction total, adding this step to the step of printing/handling shipping and labels would really make it a hard sell for me.


 

This is true Edd,  I guess I should put down any fears of running out of addresses huh?

The trick would be managing what could be a growing repository of addresses and figuring out how to move the BTC out without having to do it manually.  Although if that was the hardest part I would survive.  Just have to assume if my store does well it could be dozens, wow maybe a hundred sales a day!   I would get carpel tunnel ha!

So would the plugin, keep the wallet stored locally on the site, or would it have to hit a client machine where a wallet was stored... ah.. the details..

@Fordy,  I would "LOVE" to see what you could come up with.  Honestly I don't even mind something that is slow and cumbersome, so long as it keeps track of who made a payment, how much it was and what it was for.  I think the validation is the hard part.  At what point does a payment "post"?  and how can the plugin/software see it?   I feel like there has to be a more elegant solution than creating a new bit-coin address everytime you need to get a BTC.

 

So as I feared,  besides personal email, BTC transactions such as selling you a GPU on here,  There isn't much I can do huh?

I'm setting up a Wordpress store-front for a new business I am starting, and I would LOVE to accept BTC as payment right off the bat.  That being said unlike the paypal payment gateway where its nearly completely automated.  I do not mind processing the BTC sales manually (meaning, Realize BTC payment, and issue a manual email response) But I would like some kind of a payment gateway that at least accepts the BTC, and the shipping information etc etc.

This is for a physical durable good product. 

Any ideas, I was currently looking at Bit-Ping but I'm not sure its going to do what I need.

About the spike, you just got it...

5 BTC

I will donate some BTC to this project,   I'm at work and I don't have time to read the last few pages.   What is the current status as of NOW?  Also do we have a script for the automation?  I can probably help to get some cards into good hands.

I'd love to throw some bit coins into the occupation.   Are there any other ways to put some coinage on the ground besides this?

Just to a experiment I gave squidnet SC pool about 1Gh/s over the night.  I represented around 15% of the hash of the pool  I mined for about 8 hours.  My workers on the pool showed the shares submitted.  But when I woke up I was sad to see a 0 reward balance.   Its it somehow possible that at 6-7 Gh/s the pool didn't get a single block all night?

I feel like someone collected a bunch of SC without working for it.  Of course squidnet has zero contact info on the site....   hmmmmmm


This isn't really a support question more like a concern that maybe will help someone else

Thanks mb300sd,  I'm hoping for 370mh/s on mine.  I'm going to put your advice to good use in the next few days,  and a few tricks I picked up from Deslok.  You guys rock!

Are there any plans for  4x or 8x fpga variant depending on demand?  It almost looks like you should nix the single chip board altogether.  The price vs performance was obviously too good to pass up for almost everyone.

This is so exciting.

I bet you thats me!    I have a 300d and a 240d!    How about yourself?  sd's are nice rides!


I'm not looking for overclocking help specifically,  but thats part of it.  I don't have the time I need to tinker. I only get a few hours a week to maintain my rigs and it breaks my heart to be running inefficiently.   Your getting 390 on a 5850 I'm getting something crazy like 40% less Mh/s out of mine.  The tools I'm using just seem weak.  (afterburner?)

****EDIT****

You guys are great!

Extra thanks to Deslok and mb300sd,  

I've only had time to tweak one system, but with Deslok's Help I was able to get 210 Mh/s Additional performance out of only 3 5830's.  And it seems there is still headroom to be tapped.  





******************************************************


I have 3 main rigs.   Each contain 3 or 4 gpus (5830/5850/6950/5770).  Over the next two days I am going to fabricate a open frame station for these three machines.  After I get the new setup dialed in I would like see about getting some help Optimizing.

Here is why,  I believe due to various issues I am running well below my potential Mh/s.   Here is what I am averaging.

5830,  235 Mh/s
5850,  285 Mh/s
6950,  335 Mh/s
5770,  205 Mh/s


These numbers seem well below the 'average' speed posted on the hardware comp.   And well below what most other people are getting.  I have the machines setup for remote access via LogMeIn on a fast internet connection.  I would prefer to be physically present to help with restarts etc.   They are all Win7 Ultimate OS.

I suspect that I am missing out on a lot of hash because of driver conflicts, lack of updates and low skill level with

I would prefer to pay in Bitcoins.  And would look at a little over a week before I would be ready for you.

Reply here or send me a PM about what you think, any questions and your rate.  

Its a lot more complicated than that Arij!

Yes you are going to pay around $450 and get only 100-110 Mh/s it seems,  thats almost 4x-5x more cost than buying GPU's.  But these things are almost magic and this is why.

They connect via USB, So your rig can be anything that has a internet connection (and likely free...,  This means no more $300 Power supplies.  Hell you could run 10 of these cards on a old ATX 300 Power supply from a computer going to the landfill...)

They consume roughly 1/8th 1/10th the electricity.  Perhaps less?  So every month the power savings will slowly eat up the 'savings' you think you have buy buying a gpu.

Really in theory it seems you can put over a 100 of these on a single computer with enough connectivity.  

Its really amazing!
