Black Market Reloaded is also expanding into new areas. They seem to have fewer restrictions than SR.
also at least ten times as many scammers  |

Also, why are you calling him a scammer?
1) He joined the community, while attempting to insert a Trojan piggy-backed on Diablo Miner (Pristine Miner). 2) He has NO IDEA what he is talking about. 3) Every post he makes is a self gratifying attempt to 'gain trust' after being caught with his 'security test'. 4) He 'flip-flops' (watch the video link below, when he talks about 'His Views' on the Bitcoin being literally SHIT.....now he's suddenly 'Mr.Bitcoin' ?) 5) He's just too obvious...... 6) Non-Profit Organization ? INVEST ? Donate ? IPO ? Trades ? ....ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?list=ULyAZSQO7BAkg&feature=player_detailpage&v=yAZSQO7BAkg#t=432sThanks for remaining vigil and all, but I don't think he's a scammer. I just think he's one more typical self-important spergy bitcoiner who does everything wrong. Scamming is a very specific thing. You can call him a liar I suppose, or maybe even a retard, but just because he's one person who thinks he's multiple people doesn't mean he's a scammer, or else about 50% of the people on this forum should be considered scammers. Let's doxx him, watch him, and see what he does. Or you can keep barking at him for talking the same way other people who you're not barking at have been talking for a long time. Woof. Let's say someone came on here who was wealthy and a little mentally unhinged and decided to loan this guy 300BTC. Do you really think they'd ever see any of it back? |

Please try not to take this personally: Saw this post, wasn't quite clear what it is that your "business" actually does. Googled it, found your youtube videos. Sorry, but a youtube account "n0n00dz4u" with lots of <100 view videos in which we see part of someone's head talking about how great bitcoin is does not a business make. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7pR1CCXxno^I have to say, this one in particular cracked me up. You don't have any formal business yet, and you're talking about a NYSE IPO as though that's something you could feasibly do? Sorry, but you're not going to get 300BTC out of the lenders on here on the basis of this. Online marketing is a very competitive industry, and most of your competitors understand how to run a business. |

Can't you all just read between the lines here?
Shocking development: Script-kiddie request help setting up a mining pool for their 50-slave botnet.
Can't think of any other reason why someone would want to run a pool for effectively solo-mining their own hardware...

The best I got so far was a result of pure monkey testing: I turned the upper fan and put it back into the housing. Instead of blowing out the heat-pipe's hot air to the top, it now sucks the fresh air from there and pushes it through the heat-pipe and the VRMs to the side exhausts. It's just a trial-and-error result and people familiar with thermal design might argue this is stupid, but it works for me.
Makes sense, you'll generally improve thermal performance by having the fans "push" airflow rather than pull, as the flow is much more turbulent, increasing the amount of heat leeched away from the surface due to the increase in boundary-layer vorticity. |

Is this for established miners? or can someone who's only putting out 300Mh/s join up?
I'm here to learn and will be ever expanding.
Well I only have about 250MH/s and my invite was accepted after about a month. Oh well, I have a few gigahash available, applied months ago and never heard anything back, not sure on the logic  |

Out of curiosity, what would people consider reasonable for an early 6950 (with the bios switch) running a 6970 bios? Got a couple that I'm about to sell off to help pay my credit card bill  |

I had an order come through okay ~the 20th, then made a much bigger order that got shipped last tuesday (24th) apparently.
Will keep you guys posted as to whether it turns up okay - first one was fine and remarkably good value, took 9 days.

The thing that really stands out for me from that screenshot is your >12% reject ratio  I'm guessing connection problems... |

For your first card it looks like 221-73 = 148W. So for that card it is 3.77 MH/J.
For your second card it looks like 380-221 = 159W. So for that card it is 3.51 MH/J. Oh wrd. So that is roughly the same as a 7970 on air I believe. I can't wait to see what the 7990s will do! My 7970s undervolted do about 570Mhash and 4.94Mhash/Watt at the wall They do even better than that if I drop the volts all the way to <0.9V, but I lose another 50mhash/s or so in the process and my electrical rates aren't too bad as is. 7990s I'd be offended if they did worse than 5.5Mhash/Watt |

Please stop spreading FUD  P2pool is open source and there is nothing suspect in the code. Do you know what variability and luck is? Yes, what I'm suggesting is that we may be having issues with orphaned blocks or some such issue. Just saying, the odds of luck as bad as p2pool now displays is less than 1% How are you calculating that? Binomial distribution - couldn't work out an average # for share difficulty throughout the life of p2pool, so took the values for shares submitted vs expected shares required for our current number of blocks from p2pool.info and assumed avg difficulty of 1.5 million. So N=somehugenumber, p=0.00000066667, k=actual shares found/p. Not the best, but shouldn't be far off. |

 ^This is the settings I'm using right now on my gaming/mining PC - just the one 7970 in there right now but my aim for the summer is to get three more and go quad-crossfire and watercooled - the thought of spending £300 just on the extra waterblocks I'll need is a tad intimidating though  |

It's very easy to obtain 100% anonymous (even brand new, freshly minted) Bitcoins through mining. Actually, it's not given that whatever pool you mine on is going to know at least something about you. I mined for a long time on P2Pool thinking I was anonymous till I realized anyone could see what address I was mining to and given that the IPs that are doing the mining can be seen on the network you can kind of figured out a general idea of who is mining what. A lot of pools and p2pool nodes don't keep logs of IP addresses etc - I know mine doesn't. Surely it's just about choosing a reliable pool outside your tax authority's juristiction? |

The still unanswered question remains:
Is p2pool in fact statistically "working", in the sense that 100 Th will yield the [statistically] same amount of blocks as 100 Th on a single bitcoind or centralized pool?
Ente
I'm beginning to suspect not. back when the pool was at 91% luck over 90 days, the odds of it having such a poor reward after so much hashing was ~2%. It's obviously lower than that now. I'm giving it another 48 hours then I'm going back to abcpool |

Say you used giftcards all the time, would anybody even notice you earned a fortune in BTC, say from mining them? I don't get how the governments want to keep track whether you pay taxes for BTC income or not. Depends on what you mean by a "fortune"? $1K? Nope $10K? Probably not unless you cheat/lie/misreport other income $100K? Good chance of getting caught $1M? Your going to get caught IRS uses something called lifestyle analysis to catch tax evaders with "non traditional income". If you live in a $300K house, drive a $80K card, and take 3 vacations a year on your $30K in reported income they will want to have a chat. So "earned a fortune"? You better declare your non-cash income. A couple grand? Meh IRS has bigger fish to fry. To be honest I think they'd be more likely to notice your four-figure monthly power bills |

4/20's over guys, the spike in bitcoin demand for silkroad users is over and as the dealers cash in their coins this week I think we'll end the week back below $5.

Are new invites still being sent out? I signed up 2 months ago and haven't heard anything.
I've had invites waiting both to supply and buy hashrate - not happening Wouldn't it be interesting, if, hypothetically, someone set up some sort of high-interest investment scam using bitcoin, offering investors several percent a week on the proviso that they invest very large amounts (thousands of BTC), then had a scheme which coins invested (over and above those required to keep paying interest to new investors) could be funneled into to pay miners to mine on their behalf at major pools, allowing the entirely hypothetical person who ran the scheme to disappear once the initial high-interest ponzi scheme failed with thousands or tens of thousands of freshly minted coins which are very difficult to trace. Of course, nobody would ever do that, right? |

I want to invest some money into mining but atm - all offerings have serious short comings.
All FPGA's with the exception of BFL have a ROI time of over 1.5 years often over 2 years.
Unfortunately BFL's have a wait time of 3-4 months which also makes its ROI time over 1 year.
Were I to order one now I could expect to start using it August - Sept, just ~2-3 months shy of the reward being halved and I would have waited 4 months not earning anything from my investment.
Im looking at buying 1-2 ATI 7970's despite the massive power consumption I can still make money off them until the end of the year (I live in au, power is $0.22c/kwh) and then reuse the cards for gaming and my media pc.
My prediction for ~4-5 months into the future:
* all FPGA's will drop price 50% to 33% due to being out performed by the latest GPU's again and due to difficulty adjustment.
* Several FPGA's will simply be pulled from the market or sold at a loss when their ROI times go past 2 years (nearly there already for quite a few).
* China starts thrashing out FPGA's priced to put all western competition out of the market.
* Difficulty goes through the roof due to mass amounts of BFL's online and possibly vladmir and other companies as well.
** All current FPGA investors lose out horribly due a massive difficulty spike - ROI times go past 2 years, for large investors possibly 4 years.
This made me laugh. Do you really think bitcoin mining is a big deal in the FPGA industry? Sure, we'll see repurposing of obsolete hardware (like in the BFL singles) but major FPGA manufacturers designing bitcoin mining hardware? No chance. |

Depending on your power costs, I'd be tempted to get a better PSU even for light mining. And really, seriously, go second hand and pick up some higher hashrate cards. Right now you could buy a Ztex FPGA for that price and get the same hashrate for 9W of power |
