I'd like to see rjk win so he can complete his signature project, Terahashasaurus. If someone bought 230BTC of tickets and didn't win then they would be like  . Let me know what time you will be submitting to the rng so I can influence it, mehmehmehmehmeh. (Think Aqua Man.) Me too! I just got ecoinpool working and accepting shares from my BFL single, yeahaw! I want to know how much hash it can handle before it kills my internet connection and/or virtual machine lol. |

what if that person paid > 230 BTC worth of tickets?
He would be an idiot. |

All the advertising shit at the end pisses me off. I hope that is strictly opt-in, and can be disabled. However, I recognize that that is probably the only thing that will sell it to big businesses.  |

we should be fair, a person could say jacob / moses / jesus are only in the bible no where else, give me something else that shows they existed.
This is provably false, there are many manuscripts in many languages that have mention of these subjects, dating from the time that they existed. You can go read them yourself in the Vatican City, but you will need (at the very least) a PhD and special permission. |

One "green" program that is designed for new installations and not retrofits is LEED certification. I don't know whether they offer incentives of any kind though, or whether it is just a sticker or a plaque saying that you meet the guidelines.

I don't see a problem with the PCIe interface.
If they can fit 6+ (or seeing some of their others, 24+) fpgas on a board, and find a way to power and cool them. A doublewide 24x FPGA board on a pcie which draws 250watt over a pair of 8pin PCIe power connectors. You can put 2 in a standard motherboard, allowing for 48FPGAs per rig. With current bitstreams that's just under 10GHash/s per rig.
Also consider, PCIe allows for MUCH more bandwidth to the card (which is not important at all for bitcoin). But it's the standard right now for FPGA based HPC accelerators. Meaning if you have a PCIe card which works both for bitcoin, and for doing crypto acceleration, or other HPC applications, you now have decent resale value. Current bitcoin mining solutions aren't really good for much else (maybe as a "play" development board, but not for any real serious applications) because of the low IO count, and poor throughput (and lack of available RAM)
I would love to see a 4chip, 8chip and 24chip card lineup, all PCIe, with decent cooling/power arrangements. and offering pricing under $1/MHash (preferably closer to $0.75/MHash or lower, at least on the higher density cards) Even more appealing would be a doublewide card, that has the comm/control chips on the PCIe card, and power supply connectors enough for 24 FPGAs, and can take up to 4 daughter cards, each holding 6 FPGAs. That would allow for high density, and a nice scalability path, to start with a single module on a card for cheap, and add modules over time. Much more approachable than jumping from smaller modules to a $15K purchase for a mini-rig.
The problem is, if you design for bitcoin then the product instantly becomes pretty much worthless for other computations. Bitcoin is all about density, and it can achieve good density because it has no requirement for high speed (and therefore carefully routed) communications. Nor does it need memory. Other applications want lots of high speed, high bandwidth communications and lots of memory, which is more difficult to design for and tends to decrease density. I think this single slot x1 formfactor is great, and I don't see any reason to use USB when you already have PCIe. Of course it would be nice to have more devices on a card, but very careful attention must be paid to power design. |

Why not contact the manufacturers directly? Such a large quantity would surely get you a volume discount.
Thank's I will try. EDIT: Found Thaïland sales office. My partner will call tomorow. The 5000 series hasn't been produced for years. |

Isn't it remarkable how a newbie with only 8 posts can so quickly find the topic about him? Seems almost as if he's not a newbie....
No matter how clever people think they are with fake personalities, avatars, names and faked speech styles, their reactions and insights cannot be faked.

How might that change the design thermally and cost-wise?
I don't see the point. Gold is a worse heat conductor that copper. Maybe you meant silver not gold? Either way, I don't know. I only know that one can meaningfully lower the thermal resistance of an FPGA design by connecting as many pins as practical using as big traces as one could fit using the standard copper-on-epoxy low-volume PCBs. OK interesting to know. I just wondered because a board that I have (the thing in my sig) is absolutely slathered in gold, at almost every terminal. |

Please don't try to save pennies on the copper for the traces. Make the traces as wide and as thick as practical. Counteract the parasitic capacitance of abnormally wide traces with the slow but parallel inter-chip communication.
Is it possible and/or recommended to use use gold instead of copper? How might that change the design thermally and cost-wise? |

i highly doubt bitvps wants their name destroyed over this. im sure rg will post here soon and this will be cleared up (assuming service is not restored).
thanks
Have you bothered to call him? Making threats isn't cool. What threats? The "name destroyed" part, especially considering Goat's track record of troublemaking in various ventures. oh lol, fighting for what is right normally is seen as "troublemakeing" by the lazy and ignorant. Yeah sure, but you tend to fight underhanded and dirty. That's why I stay away. |

Is it legal to purchase kinder eggs if I live in the us? I know it's illegal to sell them in the us, but Im not sure about importing
If so, pm me, I want some
What are they and why are they illegal? |

Wow. What a difference it makes to use the distro that the readme was written for. I blew away my CentOS 6.2 install and decided to have one last try with a minimal netinstall Debian stable. It was positively pleasant to set up, with only one or 2 places where I had to do some manual stuff. (Is wx actually needed? I was able to build couchdb without it, but ./configure kept complaining that it was missing.) It is now running with no errors as of yet, and I am going to have a poke at it to see if it works.

Ah I got my stuff too, forgot to post. Everything is superb.

I can't not in my possibility  Exclusively only now a few project at 28nm chip First let's see a few of the 28nm arch chips delivered, at a reasonable price, and then we can discuss making something with them. |
