Trust me, their efficiency is not the issue this time (that was the 2013 failed promise). The issue currently is their boards are pulling too much power and burning out. Apparently their engineers at the zoo are busy throwing poo.
BFL advertised a 600GH/s device. Unlike their last go around they can't just give you smaller units like they did with the minirig. Most people only have 1 PCIe slot per machine that could handle that much heat. So they are forced to try to cram 600GH/s onto a PCIe card. It is doable if done by professional. But BFL would have to find some professionals since they can't even handle their own PR mascot correctly.
Assuming it draws 1W/Ghash, there is no way they are going to be able to cool in in the PCI-E form-factor without liquid cooling. They may have 600Ghash/second boards that can't be run in open-air cases  They would need to run close to 0.5W/GH/s to get close to the level where they can use video card style blower fans. Know them they're running well over 1W/GH/s so the only way to dump that much heat that quickly is through water or oil. |

Yeah if they switched over to peak metering and you happen to be using power during the peak hours you could really take a big hit. If that's the case you should shut down your miners during the afternoon hours.
Better solution would be to either move them to a cheap area or just sell them and buy BTC directly.

When all those threads show up pleading for people to stop mining at GHASH.IO
THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT YOU.
Haha, well that's what he gets for sleeping in bed with the devil. If you had solo mined you would have gotten different work and not solved a block most likely. |

Maybe just me, but the site seems a lot more responsive now. I'm still getting the error every now and then though.

I've lost 0.1 BTC, which is actually the most I've ever had. (Yeah, I'm poor...)
How? Inputs.io
Now I know better than to use online wallets...
An expensive but worth lesson. I have learned not to touch ponzi schemes even if BTC is only $6 and I was minting 10 BTC a day  |

Fluorosis can occur easily in young children, that's why young kids should refrain from using toothpaste until they learn to properly spit out the toothpaste instead of swallowing it.
.... Isn't that just down to not being stupid and parents teaching them how to brush their teeth properly than flouride itself? The rapidly growing teeth of young kids and the germinal bud teeth (permanent teeth) are susceptible to it. That combined with stupid parents can lead to the discoloration. So it's 2 factors. Once the kids are past 3 years they should be OK. |

Located in WA huh? Lots of miners up there. You know I would buy that for BTC if the price is right. Jesus saves, God-zilla kills - would need the sign updated though.

We're not touching Russia. I know for certain we have no intentions of doing anything if we draw a red line like we did with Syria and...oh there we go drawing a line.

You have to pay to read the full article?
The legal and morality issues surrounding drone strikes is very murky and as a result very scary. That fact that Obama can order a drone strike on an AMERICAN in a foreign country is worrisome and sets a dangerous precedent. Anwar Al-Awlaki had extremist views and supported terrorism but he was an American citizen murdered by a drone without any sort of legal trial by a jury of his peers.
As an American I'm not really intimidated or scared by other countries gaining drones. The US defense budget is so bloated that America will maintain military supremacy for some time.
The threat to US military supremacy comes from within. The cost already put a huge pressure on local citizen and decaying infrastructure. Not really, without the US military the money would be spent on something else and likely to less benefit. For instance - I'm reminded of California where they took bonds intended to construct new schools (a lot of infrastructure in America is painfully old) and then (without consent) allocated $1 billion from that fund to buying ipads for kids. Why not give every school child in America an IPAD at the cost of $1 trillion? I'm sure China, where most Ipads are constructed, and the Apple corporation would love that. At least the US military is one of the few actual American industries left, which employs Americans, even though the end results are unfortunately nefarious in nature. You are correct on one hand, however the US military is a non-productive industry in that it doesn't sustain itself economically. There's no product produced, no service provided to the community, and all the salaries are paid with tax revenue rather than a self-regenerating source of income like other industries. The US was always intended to be militarized beyond imagination, but not in the form of a permanent army controlled by the federal government... The duty of protecting this country is delegated within the Constitution; if you're a US citizen of able mind and body without immoral intentions then you are responsible both collectively and individually for the protection of this nation against all enemies; foreign and domestic... The Constitution depends and relies on morality being taught to the children of this country; they need the skills and ability to determine for themselves the differences between right and wrong and the personal strength to act against what they know is wrong, even knowing that they may be the only one taking action. This structure is necessary to minimize government expenses and reduce the risk of abuse. As far as pulling military funding goes, there's no point. There's really no stopping this financial train wreck now. There's no need to change anything actually. Sadly, things will last longer without trying to fix what cannot be repaired... The longer our Congress remains inactive and constantly increases the debt ceiling, the longer we have until a crash results on its own. Acting now in an attempt to fix this situation would trigger a collapse... As far as the drone supremacy goes, there is really no such thing as drone supremacy. The world is expanding its knowledge base far too quickly to believe in such a thing as a technological supremacy any more. There's a reality now that exists which didn't exist in previous decades. The reality is that any person of moderate intelligence has the resources available to learn, design, build, and effectively deploy a weapon capable of striking any person alive on this Earth. That's the truth of both double edged swords and technology alike. It's clear that morality has a larger part to play in the future of society than it does even now... Drones, missiles, lasers, coil-guns, all are scary things when used improperly or immorally. The leaders of our world should be setting an example for the world that morality is above all else, and that having the ability to kill with these weapons doesn't give one the privilege, right, or authority to use them without just cause based on good judgements by moral characters. That's about 180* out from how the world leadership appears to be acting now. I wouldn't say it's not productive. That's like saying food stamps aren't productive because people just consume food and make shit from it. I would say it's not the best use of our limited resources, esp at the current spending levels. Our military is what takes over when local police can't handle a situation (LA riots, Katrina, Post 9/11 tower collapse). Military technologies are used everyday for household needs, like GPS (which there would be pretty much no sats up there if there was no military). You are right about tech superiority. When I went to HS the Chinese and Indian kids filled up my AP Calculus and Physics classes. Same when I went to college and did biology, physiology and chemistry. The only thing holding back India and China from becoming Japan part 2 is infrastructure. Look at all the mining hardware and ASICs - it's sure as hell aint BFL leading the pack. Actually the scammiest of all the scammers came from the US! So sad. |

Maybe the emails were in the same hard drive as those missing ones from the "phony" Solyndra scandal.
You know what, that's probably right. Let's host all these phony scandals and their associated emails on one drive, and it will overheat due to GOP promoting phony scandals... head crash in 3 2 1

Probably pretty accurate barring the most recent events. Silly they would put India's press behind the US - India skewers their candidates. In the US we have reporters asking what Obama's most enchanting moment was: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/obamas-enchanted-answer/So hard hitting I just threw up.  |

The best thing that Obama did siince he was elected is legalization of weed
You must be high right now. Stand outside the white house front lawn and light up, or better yet sell some weed and see what happens  |

The whole law should have never been upheld in the first place. This is just a distraction from the real problems.
We need to pass it to see what's in it. We need to uphold it through the SCOTUS to see what's in it. We need to fail horribly at reform to see what's in it. |

However un-free you think you are, Russia and China have it worse.
While we haven't been shooting down air transports carrying "aide" that happens to be 40+ soldiers, the US media is increasingly becoming a joke (if not already). The morning news on ABC spent 2 min talking about how handsome an inmate was while it spent 13 seconds on missing emails and conflicting information from FBI vs IRS. |

Once again the incompetent president OBAMA has cause these terrorist to form this state which will be 100 times worst than any other terrorist group. Thank you president OBAMA.!!!!
You can't expect to see any leadership from that fool. He can't even control his own cabinet. Kathleen Sebelius would have to bludgeon kids with a hammer before he thinks of firing her. Al Maliki is getting just what he asked for. Last year he pretty much said "I got this". What's he's going to get is a round to the noggin. |

Yeah, that's why I tell newbies that time better spent would be familiarizing themselves with blockchain and wallet uses rather than chasing 10k satoshi at a faucet. What the hell...He sent 800 btc (about $380,000) to an address that he didn't even know what it was... You would be surprised how many times people have sent coins to the wrong place because they only look at the 1st 2 or 3 digits, or only the last 2 or 3. Addresses are to be copy-paste, NOT typed in. Hand typing is always error prone. Copy/Paste doesn't fix the issue if you select the wrong thing to copy, or if you think you hit Ctrl-C and you end up hitting CTRL-X or something. This was the discussion of the forums back in 2011 when the coins went from $1 to $30, people were killing themselves (figuratively) for losing thousands of BTC then! |

Baby's first boner I don't know about you but I don't find BTC sexually attractive  Search for BTC tattoo thread. Some of them look bad, some decent. And they're all located in the south pole region if you know what I mean. BTW some of those tattoos have made some people rich now |

Wow. Not one person yet has played Guild Wars. While not the same numbers as WoW the players are probably a lot more committed in general.
