There he is!!! Where nobody can bother him!
But the coolest is that he doesn't even need a table to put the laptop nor even a chair to work with it!

Wanna try to make a deal?
Trying not to be too much off topic, how much would you ask me to get a pair of bottles in my country?
I'd suggest 0.15BTC, just to have a taste of that delicacy!
That way me and my friend would be using bitcoins to cool ourself down!

BTW, anybody here have any experience in electronics and T.I. MSP430 Launchpad?? I wanted do use MSP430 and a thermistor I have lying around to create and measure temperature in a controlled environment so I could test some cooling concepts.
I'd prefer the MSP430 since I already have one. I just don't have a clue how to connect the thermistor and program it.

Please, guys...
Pictures of mining rigs, please?
No "guns" allowed and no "no guns" allowed also!
Let's measure the size of rigs, not guns!!

I would buy if you managed to make it arrive to Portugal!!
But I think it wouldn't pass the local customs here.
Even so, start doing business and sell some BitBottles!! Why not?!
Here's a brand for you: BitBeer!! :p

The same here, this side of the Atlantic!
The worse part is getting electronic components in this country - we have no Radio Shack equivalent.
Sometimes I source components from dead electronics, sometimes order from eBay, but lately, my income has been dramatically reduced by taxes.
I don't blame this government for not having other option than raising the taxes - I don't like it, but ok.
I blame the previous governments who borrowed money from EU, I blame those who used and abused the subsidies and those who never payed taxes.
I also blame my people for not seeing this and not asking for those ministers heads. They prefer to blame this ministers and ask for their demission to sit in their place all the left wing, which in turn, will rise the taxes even more and blame the current ministers... anyway...

Well, I also might have ADD then, lol!
Let's see... I've tried to use nokia color displays, picture frames and a Mattel Juice Box to create external informative displays without success.
I'm trying to learn to program a TI Launchpad with little success, for now.
I Have some ideas for cooling systems I wanted to try.
I wanted to build some 3D printers.
I also wanted to build some sort of water bottles and other plastics recycler to produce filament to 3D printers.

As for the FPGA's in printers, I might have an idea: why not desolder them and create a "test bed"?
Even so, I believe that the specs of those XC9572XL aren't the best after all and I believe it has something to do with the gates.
But, since any mining compatible graphics card consists in a sort of FPGA, why not check on those, instead?

Totally.
I have some started projects and none of the knowledge or patience to keep them rolling...
My daytime job take me too much time and gives me too many headaches!!!
Sometimes I miss dreaming again...

Loved to have 12 and a 3D printer!!!
Kids, nowadays have things I've never dreamed of.
Even so (at least, here in Portugal) they prefer to be dumb: "Hey, what are you doing? - oh, nothing, I buy everything already made".

As for the printers, I might have a slightly different challenge to you that would make my point: grab some cheap key chain picture frame and try to inject in it some graphics Or... make a new board and controller for the PCB...
"Might", yeah, it "might". But the time and effort you would put on that, for what, let's say, 100hash/second... would it be worth?!
Ok, let's make them work in a pipeline basis (it would be easy to implement in eeproms, I believe) and in parallel. But if you follow this idea, you would be designing an ASIC, after all.

Would you be offended if I asked you what are your skills?
Perhaps we could create a "knowledge" and skills pool and perhaps, reach somewhere

Never did. I Just wished I was.

If writing new firmwares for printers were that simple, wouldn't we have people not only using the stepper motors from printers, and using also the "brains" for robotics?
I wish I was 12 again... everything seemed so easy by then (even everything I was unable to make. Then I grew up!)

This is a cute topic!
I'm a native Portuguese, fluent in English, improving my Spanish and very rusty in my French.

I'd love to learn Japanese, the most used Chinese flavor and other languages from the north of the Europe.
If I'm still alive by then, some languages from Africa and from the rest of the world, but all that would be just for fun!

Uninstalled it this morning - said "server error: forbidden"

Sorry nathanrees19, not doubting about the veracity of the print, it just makes me some hitching in my head that "Q:27, A:0" in 13 threads, and such amount of hashing power.
Both my 5550 and 5830 have at least 1 accepted (or rejected) hash after, at most, 20 jobs queued.
Could you please clarify a bit?
Can you also fully specify the hardware specs or the vendor and model of this?
How long have you been able to run this miner?
How stable is it for each chip?
How hot did it got and how many watts does it consume?
If I'm not mistaken, you have something to do with BFL, but even not, if you can provide the answers to those (and other) questions, i believe you might promote the legitimacy of you product.
I have to say that although BFL is always postponing the delivery date and not giving any reliable delivery date, I do understand that R&D is quite hard, specially with no investors other than the pre-order people.
I also understand what is to try to create a product for everyone, reliable and stable with no money at all. It's quite hard, believe me.
But I've seen this same discussion with their FPGA's and in the end, lot of people just bought them!!
So, for the sake of every vendor's credibility, I believe that every hardware and software spec should be documented. Isn't this open source, after all?
And even the original post that started this thread is a fake, the principle behind is quite well thought!
I would suggest some kind of slot in each box were you would fit a cheap pen computer like those running android but with a custom linux distribution, cgminer and stratum embed.
Each box would detect if there was any pen like this or if it was linked to another box with some sort of proprietary cable.
The ones who detected this pen, would be controlled by it.
The others would be either controlled by the link cable (and thus by the pen in the other box) or by USB.
The pen could also have some sort of video output to connect a screen and usb input to use a keyboard to some initial setup.
This pen, would be sold separately.
Wouldn't it be nice? :-)

Won't the POS station get messed up by pointing this berry at her?
It's one of the hardest stains to remove!!!

I just love your cable management system!
Although I think it needs more tomato sauce!
Just Kidding! 
Thank you for sharing!

Great tips!!!
I'll try them in the weekend!
Thanks!

Downloaded great on my Nook ST.

Oh.. been searching in mining software... 'facepalm'...
Thank's os2sam!!!

Sorry for posting here, I haven't found the Stratum thread yet (the search leads me to the wrong results), but thank you both for the tip.
I'm already digging into it.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but has anyone tried to compile the stratum proxy for dd-wrt?
Is it possible?
How could I setup the compile environment?

Thank you all in advance.
