Will that hardware even mine? I thought it was too old. You could try a few different miners, or see if it is on the hardware comparison wiki.

Yes, he clarified that. Much to my disappointment.
A 51% attack doesn't make much sense, anyways. That's why it's called an "attack". Derp. When are we going to be rid of the big-government provocateurs and apologists? Sheesh. |

Assuming this topic is correct, does anyone happen to have a source of MTBF/MTTF/FIT data for those chips? It's rough trying to factor cost of replacement into operating costs when you have zero data on how often they'll need replaced  That quote is a bit out of date. Due to recent comments by BFL, it appears to be more likely that they have actually produced something custom, possibly a specialized programmable ASIC (I.E., an FPGA of their own). It is becoming less likely that is is actually an off-the-shelf product. |

It's a little out of date, and does not include specs for BFL, but here is a small comparison: http://bitcoinfpga.com/Instead of asking what is the best, it would be more ideal for you to do some research yourself. For example, we could tell you "BFL is the best", but then you would be subject to shipping delays, and would be using a LOT of power. Or, we could tell you "Ztex is the best", and then you would find out that it costs significantly more than other solutions for less speed, even though it will sip electricity and has a 2 year warranty. If you want to spend that much, get someone else to invest alongside, and get a larger device such as LargeCoin, or the BFL Mini-rig. Or, as others have said, learn some trading strategies and start playing the market, you could even invest in Pirate's operation (Bitcoin Savings and Trust), if you want to earn interest. |

Interesting. Sounds like the product is more similar to an ASIC. Probably VERY costly though since the design/conversion is handled entirely by Atmel. It's the same thing as Xilinx Easy-Path, Altera Hardcopy, etc. Also known as sASIC. |

Not that I would know about war driving, but...  You can also capture enough traffic to calculate a password. It may take 2gig. of data however. On a little used system that could take a while. That only works with WEP. |

Not sure why people have so much difficulty with setting the price. It's very simple
1) Go to purchase shares and you will see the purchase price
2) Subtract 10% (or multiply by .9) and you get the PPS price
3) Set your price at or below the price you calculated (setting lower will give you more headroom if purchase price fluctuate downward)
4) Profit!
Purchasing is still disabled for me. This may change in the future. |

ummm... Nice board but I think 1 hole in the center might be a problem for me. I had plans to water cool this baby. Oh well, I guess I have to suck it up lol. Thanks for the img btw.
The holes on the corners of each FPGA are setup to take standard northbridge heatsinks. Which means any northbridge standard waterblock should work just fine using through-hole mount available on this board. Yeah but you can't mount 4 heatsinks or blocks with only 1 hole in the middle. |

What pools still use proportional payouts?
Deepbit and Slush. All the little ones dried up and blew away? Also, Slush is time weighted, which makes it a little more of a gamble. (Still fun to try though) |

I wonder if there is a big enough air or water block to cover all 4 at once, if they were clustered together closer. Probably wouldn't work too well.

UPDATE:
BTW, if you run cgminer please make sure you set --no-submit-stale on your miners, the default with the latest is to submit stales and it will obviously just return reject/stale for you, the proper handling is to dump stales, no idea what the reason is for enabling it by default in cgminer unless someone can enlighten me.
I think it's because stales are usually valid in P2Pool. (Obviously doesn't apply here) |

Crossfire will only double the speed of your slowest card and only If they are the same family (ex. 5850 and a 5870)
Plus when in crossfire mode, work gets sent to the 2nd GPU via the 1st GPU which is the cause of the bottleneck.
Crossfire is a real bad idea for mining.
You're better off mining on each card separately, especially if you have different GPU's
While this may apply to some games and things, I'm fairly sure it doesn't apply in the same manner to bitcoin mining. Bitcoin mining uses special kernels that are executed on each GPU regardless of whether Crossfire is enabled or not. From my experience, Crossfire causes neither a loss nor a gain in speed, but it does result in much higher CPU usage when enabled, which makes it a power hog. |

How is Ufasoft handling the hot-plugging? I'd *really* like to see that functionality in cgminer/bfgminer. It's polling every serial port every few seconds. Too ugly to put in any sane software, IMO. The real problem for CGMiner/BFGMiner is that the initialization has to happen in a certain order right now, so adding devices later isn't possible. Changing that will require some refactoring. I'd argue that this is very acceptable for a dedicated miner, even if it isn't for a non-dedicated miner, therefore I would like the same thing to be implemented in cgminer/bfgminer. It could be an option, such as -S aggressive or similar. |

That's looking good! A much higher res photo would be nice though.
The image fills up my whole screen at 1240x1024. Big enough  Plenty big enough, but there seems to be some kind of rendering artifacts. We can see the general layout though, and it looks good. |

I know rjk is looking for a a program that will take the recommended fan speeds from cgminer and send them over serial to the arduino fan controller I'm making him.
Yeah I've been forgetting to ask around. I figured I'd try it out and see how it worked now first. |

Apologize if this has been addressed and I missed it, but is #5 still enforced? Seems a good amount of NSFW content goes entirely unmoderated. (Not stating that this is good or bad, just asking)
It is if I see it. Where are you finding this NSFW content at? is a rather poignant example. (Direct NSFW) Also things such as this, this, and this. (Indirect NSFW/Advertising NSFW Projects) Yes, I don't care about links, but embedded NSFW sucks if I browse at work. I had reported that first one, but nothing had happened on it until now. |

Looks like my email info got compromised. Working on a fix. Sorry guys.
You only just noticed? |

Thanks for all your opinion's, problem is guys I am running a business. You see Microtronix is not some fly by night Hosting company, we've been in business for 10 years now and have actual offices in 2 countries of the world. So while a lot of hosting companies that sell here on the forum's are fly by night's and might close tomorrow, we are not. We actually pay taxes on the money received so if I loose money on an exchange (which has happened like month's ago when the market tanked) then I still have to pay taxes on the money lost, which is still a possibility with your bitpay system. So for us bitcoin's is a volatile market that changes like I change underwear, when someone feels like it they can drop the entire market by whole coin's and leave people holding them in bad shape. If you don't like our prices then I'm sorry, but this is how we do business you don't have to buy. Thanks Well, I'm trying to walk the fine tightrope here of not sounding like a dick, and also not sounding like a total Bit-Pay apologist, but.... I must say that this warrants further research on your part. While it may have been true with previous systems, I'll just note down some quick points to make sure that they haven't been overlooked: - There is a fee, which would legitimatize your overcharging for using BTC, but it is at least quantifiable: 2.69% for USD payouts, and 0.99% for BTC payouts.
- The exchange rate is computed dynamically at the time of order, and is locked in regardless of market fluctuation for 15 minutes, giving the customer time to deposit, and taking away your worry of how the market is doing.
- The payout is available in other currencies, with other rates too.
- The payout can be split, so as to get some in fiat, and some in BTC to your wallet
I hope that this helps your decision making process, and I also hope that there will be other competing services in the near future. |

Therefore, at at-least one point, the original first issue was to have 100 pages, not 64. Did Bitcoin Magazine suffer a 36% attack?
 I want my pages back. |
