What cross mining pool?
Are you "Montico"? If you are the not, then you almost certainly became a victim of the malware posted by the OP in this thread. Nothing Dani did.

If you are Montico, allow me to laugh.

Id gladly sacrifice transaction fees or even merged mining fees in return for one feature I think is missing still. Eclipse has SMS notification for hash rate (and even found blocks), which is really cool. Im not sure how he does it and pays for it, it cant be free to send a dozen SMS messages across the globe for any miner, but its neat. Paypal payout is also something that could appeal particularly to newbies, even if a fat fee is taken. That fee could also form a small source of revenue.

Ill spam one too

or how about.... no container at all? I just saw this:

Thats nuts. He is not even using a heatsink on his Pentium4, just spraying the oil on it


Hmmm... food for thought.  Though it would also require  a second pump doubling the potential points of failure and further increasing costs.
But if I go ahead with this, Ill almost certainly go with vegetable oil, and that makes the cost a non issue. Local supermarket sells frying oil for 1 euro per liter and its very liquid, almost water like. It might go bad in months, but I read people running their rigs in aquaria (so with light oxidizing the oil)  for 18 months without changing their vegetable oil, so who knows.

BTW, Im bidding on a Formula 1 transmission cooler that used to be in Michael Schumacher's Benetton LOL:

3 days to go, Im sure it will go too high and Ill buy something more sensible but it would be fun

BTW, excellent name, and good logo. Also allows to easily make a simple B&W 2D logo. Well done.

My 2 cents:

IMO, its far worse than either of your proposals. It looks like grass growing on it. And even youd look closely to see what it is, its not like a PCB design on top of a chip makes any sense. So no.

I would vote C.
B is better because of the color. But the T appears deeply engraved which looks wrong on a chip. With design A it appears superposed on the chip, which makes a tad more sense. Id combine them, keep the color but make it look as its on top of the chip, not deeply engraved.

So you really think you are secure huh? If you are,Id challenge you to publish your IP address on some hacker site and request they hack it for a bounty. Just leave say 10 BTC in your wallet and move the rest offline. Depending if you got the message to the right audience, Id give it a few hours tops before your coins vanish.

Be sure to add a signature to his profile

I quite agree. However, I would change his passwords on paypal and gmail. If this is a hijacked account, you will actually be doing the real owner a favor. And it will prevent anyone else reading this thread from emptying his account. He might deserve it, but its not up to us to do that.

ROFL! Hilarious. Keep going, see if has paypal or something? Although, well, dont tell us if you do, legal repercussions and all that

Ive used just about any OS on the market from OS360 to modern AIX. And obviously every consumer windows version inbetween. That doesnt mean I base my opinion solely on personal experience to  gage security or stability of an OS,  anymore than I use my personal crash statistics to determine how safe or reliable my car is, nor do I determine smoking is safe just because I havent gotten lung cancer yet. The security system in XP is fundamentally broken, I dont need to have been hacked to realize that.

You can pay with BTC on amazon or even ebay by using spendbitcoins.com. As for support.. would be nice to have a helping hand holding up the cards, but beyond that, its plug and pray.

Anyway, like I said, I have nothing against cablesaurus, and by all means, order your stuff there if you want. But lets not pretend they sell magical cables that work better than any others.

And you have better sources than the FBI, CIA, DIA, NSA, CGI, INSCOM and a dozen other US security agencies.. combined? Because they unanimously stated they are pretty damn sure Iran has given up their nuclear weapons program last decade - if ever there was one, they arent nearly as sure of that. But you know better?


So you say Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrein,  Canada and Nigeria are all developing nukes?  Or whats different about Iran?


Yes, it does. Or more accurately, it detects it years before it could ever produce a bomb. Its not very hard to detect uranium thats enriched beyond whats needed for fuel when you have full access to all nuclear installations. You dont make bomb grade uranium in a shed behind your house. No signatory to the NPT has ever in secret produced nuclear weapons, and its not very likely to ever happen.

Think so too.
Clueless newbie gets something that doesnt work working on linux but wants us to try on windows.

IM sure you have nothing to worry about.

First, please dont twist my words.
Secondly, dont exaggerate  Depending on source Iran does 180 to 250 executions per year, most of them for actual criminal offenses. The US isnt that far behind in its number of executions. Compared to European countries you could regard the US regime as mass murders. Im against capital punishment, but the Iranian regime is not nearly as diabolical as what the western media try to make them. Even Colombia kills more political opponents than Iran, but that doesnt often make the press in the US Im sure.



To some extend, yes they are. Precisely what they are allowed under the NPT treaty which sole purpose is avoiding proliferation of nuclear weapons, a treaty Iran signed and adheres to, while the existing nuclear powers blatantly violate that same treaty. You have to draw the line somewhere; if you want to prevent countries from obtaining nukes you could keep their population illiterate and claim literacy is a first step to developing nukes. Thats of course ridiculous. The NPT is completely sane and logical line in the sand and a pretty good guarantee. Either stick to it, or encourage proliferation. You cant have it both ways. Iran is entitled to uranium enrichment for civilian use.


Hey, for once,  I agree. We are giving them every possible reason to pull out of the NPT and actually develop nukes. And yet they dont. I give credit to the Iranians for not doing that. Their religious nutheads even pronounced a fatwa on nuclear weapons. Id like Christian nutheads to do the same.

 

I never said that. All I said is that under the NPT safeguards, Iran can not build a nuclear weapon without us knowing. So if ever they pull out, THEN you could consider whatever it takes, even a full blown war. Youd still have years to plan for that.


Again you twist my words. If you are worried about a nuclear war in the middle east, my top priority would be getting all countries to enter the NPT and stick with the NPT. ITs not perfect, but its the best we have to prevent proliferation. Bombing and sanctioning  Iran while it adheres to the NPT achieves  the exact opposite. So why dont we focus on sanctioning Israel?

Ill gladly take that bet. Most XP rigs dont last that long without a full reinstall, let alone without a reboot.
As for DX games, I dont give a hoot, its a home theatre PC. That doesnt mean its hardly used; in fact its constantly used as digital video recorder (mythtv), media player and network streamer (xbmc) as well as file- and print server. Good luck running an XP based windows media center for that long.

Dont be stupid. Why on earth would you? Even if it works, its not going to be faster than any other miner.
