Price lowered to $100 shipped. Open for this week, will be selling on ebay if no one is interested

LOL!  Abra, you jackass.  LOL.

They're a market leader in microprocessor design.   It says so right on prweb.

Reference Design 5870(dead)FAN works fine. 5830(Dead) Fan works

I've seen you mention the $10 - $600 figure, which I think comes in reference to issuing 1099's.  Out of curiosity, how are you planning on handling the IRS reporting?  What 1099 are you going to file?  How are you handling the valuations?

Doing some cursory research it looks like the commodities 1099's (1099-B) are supposed to be issued by your broker, who tracks your USD value when you buy or sell your commodity through said broker.  You are not a broker, and any such 1099 would not come from you, rather, it would come from the exchange used when gigaminers buy or sell their commodities.  (BTC<->USD)

Being a commodity, trading BTC for other commodities = bartering.  When bartering, you are responsible for reporting your own income, unless dealing with a bartering exchange, in which case they will give you a 1099-B at year end.  See: http://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc420.html

None of the other 1099's seem to have any relevance to commodities?  And as far as I can tell there's no way you could be privy to how your users make use of their commodities?  Thus any dollar values you report on any 1099's are going to be inaccurate, and worse, could end up screwing your customers.  (eg, you report a value of $12, but when the customer exchanges it they exchange at $6)

Is your lawyer a tax attorney?

The more I read, the more worried I get that your lawyer may be barking up the wrong tree here.  You should not be on the hook for any 1099 reporting.  That responsibility falls on the exchanges.

Cheers.


Edit: I think I figured out the answer.  Giga has to become a barter exchange (threshold is 100 barters in a year) and track current FMV on every barter transaction.  Then at the end of the year he issues a 1099-B with the FMV transactions all added up.  Crazy.

You can add it via cgminer, I have several rigs with both gpu/bfl on bamt, but I doubt there will ever be a fully integrated version like with the graphs/stats. Some notes below on how to update/install. Caution though. You might want to install a fresh bamt build and don't install fix #20 or it will fubar a current build of cgminer, something about "mother" not talking to it correctly after some revision changes or something like that.

will try it also. hope it cannot solve the network connection problem on my current Asus mobo.

No, I just continued ignoring known trolls such as yourself.

The question is also irrelevant.

Hi everyone,

i'am having troubled with my 6870 overclocking setup on BAMT.
Configured my rig this morning, i'm used to linux so was pretty easy, and btw thanks to aaronwolfe for his incredible work.

Well i am mining actually but with stock params.

mining.bitcoin.cz
73.0 c   94%   263.57 Mh/s   47 / 0   0.00%   6800 Series42% (2751)   900 Mhz   1050 Mhz   1.175v


I would like to lower mem clock and improve a little bit core clock.
 I changed those params in the bamt.conf file but they arent applyed as you can see on the line above (from Munin), here is a link to my bamt.conf ==> http://pastebin.com/2BKiXHUg

If you have any suggestions tell me, i can reward you with my little amount of btc!

Have fun mining

Windows or Linux?  I was able to set it up on windows okay, you just have to load the WinUSB driver as opposed to the one Windows installs automatically.  It was able to autodetect after that.  My linux rig is on ubuntu 11.04, which doesn't appear to work with BFGMiner, so I haven't tried on linux yet.

In case anyone here missed it:

BFGMiner now has support for the x6500.

I was wondering if it makes any difference in which pool you join with your Asic as the MH/s will be high?

bumping this because no deals ended up going through


remember these are good for $600 of trade in value for new bfl products and they can mine in the mean time so if ordering anything from bfl why not mine until then?

@ ssateneth

I would do 7 BTC + shipping costs, but I'm only looking for payment in BTC as I was otherwise going to buy some anyway.  How long would it take you to procure the BTC?  I'm looking to sell quickly, so if someone else jumps in with a higher offer, I might be swayed to sell to them if they are willing to make payment immediately.

@ abracadabra

I'm in the western suburbs of Chicago.

The card looks like this 

I think it's a reference card?  I can adjust the voltage and drop the mem to 150...please correct me if I'm mistaken, but isn't that a sign of a reference card?

The fan does not scream or squeal, but it does make the rattly sound as if the fan is nicking the heatsink or something.  When I took the card out and gently spun the fan manually with my finger, I could feel it was very slightly loose.  It seems as if the fan can be pulled straight up and down a very tiny bit, and the fan can be pushed from side to side an even tinier bit.  As soon as I heard the noise, the card was out of my computer within 5 minutes.  When the card runs, it would be quiet for a second, then get loud for a few seconds, then quiet again, then loud, then quiet, etc.  It seems to be shifting in and out of it's central position when it spins.

Hope this helps
