If you can deal with the customs risk and want decent single malt, I spend a lot of time in Glasgow and can ship basically anything you could possibly want from there...

Would you consider shipping to the UK? If so how much extra?

1084  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: DiabloMiner GPU Miner (LP, BFI_INT, async nw, multipool, 79xx GCN) on: June 02, 2012, 05:47:40 PM
Apologies if this has been answered before, but I could not find an answer to my question on Google.

Is there a way for me to set a lower aggression for DiabloMiner ? I thought setting the -f flag to some high value might help, but not getting the desired result.


-f is fps. Set it to a multiple or divisor of 60. Higher is less aggressive.

That's what I thought Sad Very strange. On a multi-card setup, I've tried -f 1, 60, 600, 6000, 60000 and it's seemed to make no discernible difference in affecting hashrate Sad I'll try snagging the latest-and-greatest DiabloMiner later this evening if see what's what.

 Thanks !

It doesnt effect the hashrate much, it effects the aggression. Only in badly designed miners that it greatly effects the hashrate.

On my 7979 at stock speeds -f 1000 gets me about 512. At the default of -f 30 it gets me about 556. I assume the difference is much larger in Windows.

So if I set it to -f 60, I can game at 60fps whilst using whatever GPU horsepower is going spare?  Grin

Cigs.eu sent me a refund pretty quickly after realizing my email was being marked *spam.

Thanks Cigs.eu for your excellent customer service!

How long did you have to wait?
I've pretty much given up on my cigarettes ever turning up and I'm out 21BTC as a result.

I'd buy into this for hopping purposes depending on what the margin you were offering was.

I used to rent 12Ghash which I pointed to a little hopping proxy but that guy put up his rates when GPUMax came along and it stopped being profitable  Roll Eyes

I'm now sending ~670Mhash your way (1 7970 @ 1125Mhz), I've got a second one arriving either saturday or next week so I'll be giving you 1.34Ghash then, and with any luck increasing further not long after, since I'm slowly building up a quad-crossfire setup  Grin

How long do you plan on having this operational?

Bump.

Eegnylot got his PSU last week and it's been working fine for him.  Shadow383 will be getting his board in the next few days once it clears customs.
I can only hope  Cheesy

Spoke to courier company on this side again today (still showing "awaiting customs charging" on the tracking) and apparently they don't have a "confirmed" fee for me to pay yet, so my package is still with customs  Sad

It's getting a bit beyond rediculous, as of tomorrow the board will have spent twice as long crossing customs as it spent crossing the atlantic...

If they don't update tomorrow I'll call customs directly and see if I can find out anything...

Seems to be my luck - other things I've had turn up for this build being a processor (the seller sent the wrong one, an i7 950 rather than a 3930K, was not impressed) and a corsair 1200W PSU that was DOA.

Still waiting on my 24th of April order #2772

Heya Shadow383, the first two cartons were dispatched on the 24th of April and they should reach you pretty soon, don't worry Smiley There is still plenty of time for them to show up, sorry for being that slow! In fact, you shouldn't worry in any case, cause we refund if they get seized: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=56981.msg885073#msg885073

Also, thanks for letting me know about that paranoid thread, lol.

Just an update, have had absolutely nothing through the post as of yet from the order back 5 weeks ago - am now away from that address for three weeks, post is getting left with my neighbours so I'll update if they tell me something's arrived...

Why can't you be selling this anywhere near where I live?  Cheesy

Bump for you - I built one of these for someone just recently and it was staggering playing games on a triple-monitor setup in full settings from such a tiny thing.

1095  Economy / Economics / Re: Greece mulls Euro exit on: May 17, 2012, 03:34:42 PM
It is really quite shocking. A disorderly exit from the Euro puts us all in a new world economy. If Greece goes, who will back up Spain's debt?...Germany? I don't think so.

yeah, this makes me think Greece wont really go... or if they do, everyone will go
Honestly, how do you expect them to survive?
The idea that "it won't happen because the consequences would be horrible" doesn't really fly with me.
Yes. The consequences will be horrible, but greece has no way out of its current dialemma that doesn't involve default and a new currency.

Right now, capital flight from Greece is in excess of 1.5% of GDP per week (~4 billion euros/week) and its banks are so undercapitalised that the ECB has stopped lending to some of them because they are technically trading whilst insolvent.
Even with a competent government and good fiscal policies (which they don't and won't have) then they'd STILL need to default fully, impose capital restrictions and devalue.

Hell, you want a good indicator? Two of the largest bookies in the UK, William Hill and Ladbrokes, were offering odds on Greece leaving the euro by the end of the year.
After the massive increase in demand, even at 1.3/1, they were forced to pull it this week after concluding that the event was a near-certainty.


The real questions now are:
-What happens when Greece goes?
-What happens when Japan follows?
1096  Economy / Economics / Re: Greece mulls Euro exit on: May 17, 2012, 12:00:06 PM
I'd love it if the Euro was scrapped and substituted with some form of honest money. Obviously this isn't going to happen any time soon because it would imply many banks going tits up, which they will try to avoid at any cost, at massive expense for their citizens.

It was a bad idea to begin with. The EEE was just fine, no need for the EU. Definitely not like this.
I think the question is how long they can continue to defy economic reality.
Ironically the best investment I've made all year will probably end up being a £150 bet I made in January that Greece would exit the euro this year.

The Athens composite index (ATHEX) is now just a few points from being down 90% since 2007.
Capital is leaving greek banks at a rate rumored to be up to 4 billion euros per week (>1% of GDP per week).
They have a youth unemployment rate now approaching 60%, general unemployment approaching 25% and no government for the next month at least.

So they're fucked. What about the others?

Well, the other Eurozone governments are exposed to greek government debt directly to the tune of about 200 billion.
Most of this one way or another ends up being guaranteed by the Bundesbank, who are now owed >600 billion euros by other central banks, who of course have it out on loan to all those failing Spanish and Greek banks, who are actually so bust that Reuters was reporting yesterday that the ECB had stopped supporting them (temporarily, until they realised that said banks would be hours from collapse if they didn't deny it) because their capital base was so depleted that they no longer had enough assets to cover their liabilities and were therefore trading whilst insolvent.
If the Euro fails, and it will, it's a matter of when, not if, then the Bundesbank will suddenly have a stock of loans that are no longer payable in euros, but payable in currencies almost certainly substantially weaker than Germany's own. If they make it out only suffering a 200 billion euro trading loss I'll be very impressed.

I'd bring up the situation in Spain, in Italy, and even further afield outside the EU where Japan has >$5 Trillion in debt that it has not a hope of ever being able to pay back, but frankly that's just way too depressing.~
It's going to be a very interesting couple of years.
Me? I'm just going to go out and spend some of my money, because frankly the way things are going we're heading for a collapse the like of which has never been seen before, and I doubt my paper money will be worth anything when we're done.

1097  Economy / Economics / Re: Greece mulls Euro exit on: May 16, 2012, 09:38:26 PM
Given the scale of what is about to unfold on the international financial markets, I think we're about to get a field test of how good bitcoin is for people circumventing capital controls.
This is going to be very, very interesting.

Shove it on GLBSE and if you can provide enough reason to trust you and some kind of business plan we will raise the money.

The main problem I see is that it would be empty for the majority of the year so you will need to be inventive to come up with a way to make money from it to keep shareholders happy.
This.
I'd throw a 10BTC your way just because I'd love to see something like this happen, but I don't think the community is likely to pitch in $200k on your word that you're using the money for an island...
1099  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [400GH/s] p2pool: Decentralized, DoS-resistant, Hop-Proof pool on: May 12, 2012, 08:51:57 AM
Yes, I  only have 1 miner using his BTC address as username that is receiving payments. The node BTC address balance stay at 0.
Using a 0.5% fee just means that you'll keep 5 out of every 1,000 shares that's mined through your node. You might not see a payment for a while.
Great thank's for the info!

Also, it's random (with a probability equal to the percentage you set) that any given share will be redirected to your node's address.  So you'll not necessarily get exactly 5 out of the first 1000.  It'll end up averaging that in the long term, though.
Was wondering why I hadn't seen anything go to the wallet of my 0.1% fee node, then suddenly got payment the other day  Huh
Makes sense now, cheers  Grin
