It works just fine. No need to mess with assigning cores to threads. There is no bitcoin mining performance impact on my rigs from running litecoin miner.


No fortunes no, but I mine about 1000 LTC per month with 2 rigs. For now at least, thats a bitcoin or two. Still nice.

375MH? Thats quite a lot for an FPGA. What board is it?

A month or two ago I found out the father of a friend of mine is the chairman of an investment club here. Naturally, I brought up bitcoin, although I already knew he wasnt very good with computers; he is a retired pharmacist/owner of quite a few pharmacies. I know he has been reading and researching bitcoin ever since, but hasnt jumped in yet. The technological barrier is pretty big.

Just now he asked me if I wasnt willing to give a little presentation about bitcoin at their next investment club gathering, which is once every 2 months. There will be about 2 dozen attendees, most of them older or retired "upper middle class" (lawyers, doctors, etc) who are obviously all investor/speculators. Should be a good audience, although I fear their PC skills will be rather poor.

Im putting together a powerpoint and will be able to give live demos (laptop, 3g).
Aside from the obvious things, Im looking for some good idea's here, things I should show or explain that I havent thought of yet. Feel free to throw me some ideas.

If these cards are new and covered by warranty, Ill take one, send me a PM for paying and shipment details.  You can write in german if you want. But I think everyone will want to know if these are new warranty covered cards or not.

In het NL: als deze kaarten nieuw zijn en met garantie dan koop ik er een, stuur maar een PM voor afhandeling
Ik denk dat iedereen wel wil weten of deze kaarten nieuw zijn met garantie of niet.

Are these cards new or used? What about warranty?
Also,  no website, no reputation, no nothing.. Im not sure I trust that yet. Would you do an escrow deal?

Last question, if you ship for free to germany and netherlands, wont you ship for free to Belgium too? Its only a few Km from the border

Israel is a Jewish state, so I guess thats got something to do with, wouldnt you agree?

If you meant to ask what judaism has to do with gold and diamond trade; its a cultural and historic thing that goes back centuries, but none of that matter. What does matter is that they are extremely important players in gold and diamond trade across the globe. And to put it euphemistically, not all of that is paid with traditional bank transfers.

He is not going to buy them for $40. You can buy them for $10 or so on alibaba in quantities.

start by installing the AMD restricted drivers ("additional driver" app).
Then open a terminal and copy paste the following commands:

Did the fundamentals change since june? Hardly. So why couldnt it go up to $30 again?

The reality is that the bitcoin market is extremely shallow. The vast majority of bitcoins are not for sale and are being hoarded and will not be sold almost regardless of price. More important is time frame, they might be sold in 1 or 2 years, again, almost regardless of price.

Of what remains, only a tiny fraction is actually used for commerce, the bulk is speculation. The result is the price for the next few years can go pretty much anywhere, all it takes is speculators speculating what others speculators will do. It could go back to $30 or more, it could collapse to $1. Anyone who thinks he knows where its going is delusional.

That said, it has been reported but I think people may underestimate its significance:

Remittances to Israel alone account for more than $1 billion annually. Add to that the fact Jews dominate gold and diamond trade, and its not hard to see the potential of bitcoin gaining ground there.

Wish granted. 125 GH/s atm. Although at least 20 of that is pool hoppers and thus temporarily.

Set low priority. In linux start the litecoin miner with "nice":


(Screen is optional; it lets you attach and detach console sessions)

IN windows open task manager and set process priority to lowest.

You do realize 10%, 1% and 0.1% per year growth is.. exponential, right?

thx, thats pretty much what I was looking for

I suppose its good enough; What I want to do is simply chart price over difficulty.

Ik wel, als de prijzen concurentieel zijn met alternate.nl & co, en liefst met verzendings optie.

 I was hoping I wouldnt need any coding skills:

Im looking for raw data (csv or whatever) that is needed to produce these graphs:
http://bitcoin.sipa.be/
Anyone have an idea how to obtain that?

What inflation? We dont have an inflation problem, and that is despite printing and giving trillions to the banks.

I see a slight difference of a factor 5x. But its entirely possible we mine at the same pool

Its an esspresso machine Like this one:
