Counting "invested" as stuff I wouldn't otherwise have bought + additional power costs.

I have a bunch of these pumps to sell, they're OEM so come without boxes but are unused. Info link: http://www.ekwaterblocks.com/shop/laing-ddc-pump-12v-ddc-1t-mcp-350.htmlLooking for 9BTC each or 16BTC for 2 shipped to UK, international shipping will be more so pm and I'll find out  Happy to use any respectable escrow service. Pictures will be coming later once I've got my SD card reader handy. |

I've got an Asus G73-W that I'm considering selling, that's probably beyond the price/spec that you're looking for though by the sound of it  |

Once all the drug dealers have to sell their money from the SR sale the price will go down. I know most of you think that SR isnt the #1 reason for bitcoins success but after this huge spike for 4/20 I dont know how you can deny it any more.
lol wouldn't you think they would buy b4 4/20? Stoners? nope I have strong doubts SR had much to do with today's rally since most of people trading there don't use the 100% by the book give us your ID info or we keep your money mtgox. You'd be surprised. And regardless, one way or another, if there's a surge in demand for BTC on other exchanges it'll push the mtgox price up too. Market dynamics at work |

Dealers must be accepting BTC as payment now. Waiting around in back alleys for confirms is probably pretty sketchy though.
Well, the silk road has been having a massive one-day sale event |

if you collect enough condensation points, you get to bonus round.
Won't happen. Condensation happens when warm air meets a cold surface. But in the fridge, air is cold and the FPGA is warm. So it'll only happen directly above the FPGAs?  |

Luck really has been awful on p2pool lately - a friend of mine's getting into mining with his dual 7970 gaming PC, got him to point them at p2pool. Result = 15 hours of 1.3Ghash/s with nothing to show for it thanks to the orphaned block today  Needless to say, he's switched to standard PPS pools Our overall luck since p2pool started though is horrific! Mathematically I make it something like a 2% chance of a pool doing this badly over that time period. |

Supply of fresh btc to the market will be lowered, miners, who pay electricity will try to compensate their lowered income by raising the price, speculators and outsiders will think this price bump is the sign they were waiting to buy before another 30$ peak so people will buy and hold to their btc as everybody who has btc will be hoping btc will rise more. Expectations may cause short term jumps, total market is shallow (30-40 million ?) . Or, miners running a loss will leave, and difficulty will adjust as such At a guess for this time next year, I'd say $7-10, assuming there's not another huge disaster like the mtgox hack. At the end of the day, bitcoin has some very popular uses (money laundering, contraband, tax evasion, sending money overseas for no fee, sales without risking chargebacks) and I think services like bit-pay have a very promising future. What we need to do is make it easier for merchants to accept bitcoin payments and get paid in the currency of their choice. Bit-pay is good, but it's still US-only (or was the last time I looked). |

I don't think there's any question that if the price does not double immediately after the reward drop, lots of miners are going to drop out. Whether somebody maliciously takes advantage of that, there's no way to know. With only more efficient miners left over, assuming the price doesn't jump up enough, then I suspect the price will continue downward as the more efficient miners can tolerate lower prices and remain profitable.
I think there's a good chance this scenario happens as people will probably price an increase in well before the reward change in anticipation of a possible price increase, thus there won't be a subsequent and sufficient price increase after the change.
Why should people feel the need to pay twice as much just because miners aren't earning as much? Halving the block reward doesn't make bitcoin twice as valuable, and nobody owes you free money for mining. Block reward halves, miners mining at a loss stop mining, difficulty drops. Simple. |

Where are these shipping from (I assume US?) Just wondering about the customs situation - I could do you a good offer for all three but I'd likely as not get hammered for customs charges as a result |

Would you consider breaking it up for parts?

Just for the record, ferreting out scams is part of my RL world. When a duck stinks like this, I consider it a public service to point it out, and I typically do so in my harsh ass-holish manner, without concern for welcoming would be scammer to our world.
You don't want to read my stuff? There's a convenient ignore button right there under my name. You want to support this guy's sale? Buy a laptop and stop whining about social propriety. Just don't tell us when you get ripped off thru Western Union by this scammer- you bent over and invited him to have his way with you. No legitimate business person anywhere in the world uses Western Union as their preferred payment method. None, period.
All your doing is being arrogant and making ignorant posts. He is totally right. Let's see, what would be a better way to have approached this? Well it's your lucky day because I'm going to use my amazing deductive powers of common sense and tell you how to not come across as a scammer: 1-You have little/no feedback, so offer escrow, post pictures of the product you're going to sell next to a piece of paper with your forum username, the date, and "bitcointalk" on it. 2-Ideally, provide a link to heatware/ebay, showing positive feedback you've gathered. 3-If you're offering something this expensive, you're going to want to have a fairly good explanation of where they came from etc, with warranty details and the like, otherwise many will just assume scam/stolen. 4-If members point out the risk involved in dealing with you, find some way to mitigate that risk, rather than going around insulting people for refusing to hand over large quantities of irritrievable cash on the promise of cheap goods from an anonymous person with no feedback. You could, for example: -Give out your phone number/other personally identifiable info via pm to interested buyers so they can contact you. -Offer escrow (in fact there are many free escrow services right here on bitcointalk) -Give links to your business website, so that people can look into it there. Really people, suspicion towards 0-feedback anonymous bitcoin sales no more harms bitcoin trading than suspicion towards 0-feedback anonymous Western Union sales on ebay harms US dollar trading. |

I own and operate a legitimate business and have also operated and worked with ones in the past. If you need some rep I also have been a member of WebHostingTalk (#1 hosting forum) since 2005 and have rep there. http://www.webhostingtalk.com/member.php?u=129054So why are you trying to sell to us via a couple of different irreversible payment methods, and also on ebay with no rep? Seriously, I think the majority of us have been offered the opportunity to buy cheap laptops through western union before... Usually from guys in nigeria... |

that is what i assumed, and that is why i never bothered to sign up. i wont be investing after all. good luck to rg! So you didn't "bother" to get it for free because you assumed it will not be free later on and therefore you will not be investing at all because you are too busy making triangular forex arbitrage bots that aren't triangular and don't arbitrage. With logic of that caliber I'd guess you'll be the one needing the luck. How're the pics coming along honeybuns? And reactions to potential customers like that ensure that very few people are going to pay up 20BTC when they can do their trading at GLBSE instead... |

This build just will not start for me using 0.54 or 0.6 (upgrading from the most recent p2pool). It opens, does nothing for ~20 seconds, then closes itself again, no error produced. |

The large botnet that was mining zero-transaction blocks appears to have stopped, at least for the time being, but the increase won't be fully reversed due to the increase in FPGA mining and the greater hashrates of the 7xxx series ATI cards.
If BFL for example were to clear their backlog of orders we'd probably see 2000000+ difficulty in no time at all.

Just out of curiosity, do you still need those small fans on the Icarus heatsinks? Wouldn't it be sufficient or even better to close the "case" on the top and force the air through the heatsinks? What's the airflow (cfm) of these fans?
In case this is suited better for another thread, let me know.
No, that wouldn't work, the Icarus stock heatsinks are way too small for that and need quite a bit of airflow. Even a huge fan sitting next to them (but blowing from the side is barely sufficient, so at least the second-row boards wouldn't be happy with such a setup. Sadly you can't easily swap the heatsinks on these boards... I would think that the turbulence caused by perpendicular airflows would have lesser cooling capability than higher-velocity ducted flow that was relatively linear. So, fans in a push-pull and a cover on the case (clear plexi?) ought to give even better cooling. Turbulence is (or at least should be) the aim when doing forced cooling like this, since a turbulent boundary layer has much greater speeds close to the surface, and thus is better at drawing heat from the surface into the free-stream flow. |

How much would international (UK) shipping be on these?
|
|
|
|
1. 0% fee
2. Share out to miners
3. Reliable servers and uptime and professional pool operator with a history of being honest
This combination of things is really only possible for a hopping proxy |

I believe most, if not all, his equipment is spoken for already
Really? He was asking pretty high prices for all his hardware. I was going to buy 2 5970s off him. Went on ebay instead and bought 3 for less than he wanted for 2. |
