  Also, strange bug, had this really badly on EU2, just switched over to US1 to try that. I get ~0.2% rejects usually, but I get bursts of rejects occasionally, where your server just rejects every share I send for up to a minute. So I see screens like this:  Then, moments later:  So I'm seeing an average 2-4% reject rate, despite the fact that most of the time the reject rate is very good... |

Thanks! It would still be easier to find if Marty added a link in the first post.
I reconfigured the eu servers for lower latency. Give em a try and see if they run better... they are both way under load and have the lowest rejects of the 7 nodes... Also, hash rate has dropped? PM me if there is a personal issue, but please lmk if it is the nodes. Stats are up to date and I am paying 7.18 soon!  Also, got my cheap 5830 hashing, so I am as of this minute sending 2.15 Ghash/s your way. |

How about adding a link to the stats page to the first post? I know it's buried somewhere in this thread, but I can't find it right now.

This is a low end sandybridge CPU. Right now, no processors are worth the time and resources to mine right now, let alone a low end one.
if electricity were free, why not let the CPU mine with the GPU's? Because at 2MH/s, you're talking about less than 50 shares a day. Which is quite literally 0.001BTC/day. Rather than asking why not, you should be asking why bother? if GPU's are already mining on the same PC there should be no reason under the free electricity provision i stated to NOT use the CPU as well, even if just to get the extra .001BTC/day Because the extra wear on your CPU/PSU alone will cost you more in the long run than you'll make mining with the CPU  |

I know people who use it, no complaints that I've heard of  |

 It was all going so well  Also, holy shit, these price moves over the past few days are insane! Suddenly regretting the BTC I've sold lately  Sold 50 @ £4.82  |

Marty if you want you can setup a LTC servers and have them hop ozcoin and my pool to spread out the hashes and i will auto convert everyday any LTC to btc for ya so you can still payout in btc if ya want
We can talk more later i gotta run to the store
Be back in about an hour
Does bithopper work for litecoin mining? I can run that over a couple of pools if you like. Unfortunately my 7970s won't mine LTC, so I'm stuck as a bitcoin miner |

All the EU servers are down, and my boiler's broken So it's freezing cold here and my 2Gh/s failed over to BTCGuild... |

rjk, You're a true retard for trusting bitcoinica and devaluing btc via short selling. They get hacked for ~48k btc and you still trust em? Then another ~18k. Complete idiots to trust em after getting hacked the first time. Short selling is bad mmkay. So FUCK YOU for using bitcoinica and devaluing btc.
The hacker did the community a huge favor. The price of btc is up since.... so stfu and stop whining about it. You put your $$ into someone ele's hands who might I add are complete idiots and now its gone. booo-fucking-hoo.
Wah wah wah speculators wah wah. If you have to complain about people shorting your currency/stock/government bond etc then it probably isn't worth what you think it is You got it backward OP, let me reiterate...
How can 40k BTC + 18k BTC be untraceable or easily spendable ?
Why don't we instead agree to give the hacker an honest and untainted 30% of the BTC he moved ?
By honest I mean we know who he is, we know what he did, we're happy with it, and we respect him for both getting into your gox account and returning funds.
This "hacker" is a "somewhat" tech-savvy person that achieved something worth being rewarded for.
Why would they accept such a deal when they can pass substantial amounts through bitcoinfog and use the rest to buy hashes at GPUMAX, keeping more like 70-80% and ensuring that the stolen coins are spread over thousands of addresses? |

I got 4 5870. 4 5850 and 6 5830 for $1000 shipped. Nice! That's what? 4.5Ghash? |

Before I heard about the ASICs, I was thinking of building a new rig that would double as a miner and a home theater PC. I live in a dorm and don't want case fans to keep me up all night in my bedroom, but I could set a PC out in the living room to run 24/7. Playing movies barely uses any graphics power anymore, so why not?
If the 7990 came out sooner I'd probably have done this - Silverstone to a mini-itx case that can accomodate 14-inch graphics cards and full-size ATX PSUs |
|
|

Well, technically £30, I asked it to get sent signed-for so it won't disappear in the post But yeah, at that price I figured even if pigs fly and BFL ship their ASICs on time it has time to pay for itself |

This isn't a real offer, but I think $175-$200 would be fair from a miner's perspective. I see 5830's on the forums for about $85-$95, and a 6870 is just a slightly revamped 5830, uses the same VLIW5 architecture and 1120 shaders per GPU. This card has 2, so double the price, plus a premium for being 1 PCI-E slot and a "newer" generation. It has a degree of resale value. Gamers might into it for $210-240 I'm guessing though.
In reality though, I -could- be far from the mark. I've only seen a handful of 6870x2, so certain people may hold value in it's rarity. Looking on ebay and google shopping, the lowest price is around $350, and I can buy Radeon 5970's for $250, which are MUCH more powerful cards.
Newegg were selling these brand new for $160 a while back, if I was US-based I'd have bought a dozen But yeah, on ebay and the like you can get $300 or equivalent without too much difficulty. Certainly wouldn't expect it to go below $250. I had one for a little while and it ran at ~585Mhash/s, but with much poorer efficiency than a 7970 doing the same job |

Solved the mystery of the missing order finally Two customs seizures in a row Got the letters handed to me today by my neighbour. Have emailed hoki both letters, at the time of the order cigs.eu still had a full reship policy for the UK but obviously it'd be crazy to do so now so hopefully we can work something else out, guess I'll be taking a fairly big hit on this one but that's life Advice to potential UK buyers - wait until after the olympics when they send all the current customs temps home |

Cheers for putting so much into this whole project I just picked up a 5830 for £25 (crazy eh?) that should be here on tuesday, so I'll finally be sending >2Ghash your way as originally promised  |

I got a payment this morning @ 10am for 7/11. Nothing so far for 7/12 but I was down for half the day doing maintenance so...
I've not had my 7/12 payment either... |

Right now, where we know the secret for sure or not, there cannot exists both underlying economic activity producing >3000% ROI and underlying economic activity producing way less than 3000% ROI. A ponzi is a ponzi is a ponzi, unlike photon is wave is a particle.
I believe the amount that pirate claims he earns is actually 10% per week, but that 3% is cashed out (or some such), which is why he doesn't need to reinvest his own principle. While it doesn't quite make the total ROI 14,000%, it does make it more than 3300%. This makes it yet more ludicrous. If you are genuinely making 10% per week, what sort of drooling retard wouldn't reinvest their own capital?Once again, it makes absolutely no sense if you're running a legit business. But it's perfect if you're running a ponzi. As long as nobody is losing their shirt over this, fine, but I bet someone will... It's a pretty good scheme though - Buy coin in vast quantities, use it to pay for hashing at large public pools, directing payouts to yourself for nice clean coins, then when you dump the whole thing you've got the clean coins and your "investors" are left with nothing. So, if anyone here has big money with pirate - what would you do if he disappeared tomorrow? |

IIRC BFL stated that your trade-in only needs to be shipped to them when a replacement (with your name on it) is there ready to go.
At which point I guess it'll be 4-6 weeks |

I've got an HP Proliant Microserver sitting in a closet doing what it does. It's on 24 hours, it gets used for serving files and converting an occasional DVD for XBMC. That's about it.
I've been reading a lot about mining and I'm thinking about pre-ordering a Jalepeno from Butterfly Labs just for fun. It's fairly cheap, I'm not looking to get rich, just learn something and break even. I've got cheap electricity costs (about $0.065 in summer and $0.05 in winter) so I thought this might be possible.
My question is, does anyone have dual purpose mining computers? I read a lot about getting low power CPUs just to connect your FPGA to, but could I plug in one of these little USB guys (assuming they ever come out) and have my server continue to serve while the ASIC mines?
I built a highly impractical GPU miner with 3x7970s as a gaming PC/miner - I just set the GPUs to dynamic difficulty and I can actually play games at 60fps whilst still mining @1.2Ghash or so in the background The rest of the time, ~1.85Ghash/s If you've got electricity that cheap I'd look into getting some cheap GPUs, as they will still be worth something if BFLs ASICs make it out before february and ruin your GPU mining fun |

And the trading system is like something from medieval times it would only take a small amount of code to calculate how many bitcoins you can buy with the amount of money you type in, instead they use this draconian method and you end up with an obscure amount of currency left in you're account like 0.04 pence, it's a wonder how people trade on this site. You mean, like the vast majority of exchanges and trading systems? They even show you the total value of your order before you submit it... 1) I called from england and england does have area codes and the intersango area code is 02081 which means london you freaking Neanderthal,
2) England is part of the European Union which is far bigger than the U.S.A OK idiot and they have time zones and country codes there too,
3) My name isn't John Wayne and I'm not little, obviously you don't even know who John Wayne is,
4) You probably work for Intersango and registered here to give me some crap on this thread or why else would you make such a comment here,
5) America was part of the British Empire at one point in history, so cut the crap about England being too small and insignificant, and after all what language do you speak in America.... oh yes it's English,
END OF RANT
This was probably my favourite line of the whole rant. Now for some balance: As a UK Citizen with a GBP bank account, almost every withdrawal I've ever made (I'm a miner to the extent of a few gigahash, so I never really need to buy to finance my bitcoin spending...) has been done via intersango. Looking back through my history I've been cashing out a few hundred pounds per month there since back when it was Britcoin. I have never had a withdrawal take more than 2 days, and the fees are pretty minimal too. Given all the horror stories of people waiting months for four and five figure payments from Mt Gox, I would imagine Intersango isn't exactly a great risk comparatively... |
