hi guys - been a looooooong time since i've been on IRC regularly.. which is crazy to say for me considering i was on 24/7 from about 1997 to 2006 or so.. i used to have a collection of crazy shell accounts with all kinds of vhosts etc.. but alot of those people shut down their boxes or just stopped offering shells etc.. So - I want to buy a shell account, mainly for IRC, and want to know who is offering them for BTC monthly? Doesn't need to be anything special, just something I can run a screen or two on and has BitchX or maybe even some snazzy new IRC client if bx isn't what people use these days.. Might wanna play with some bots or something at some point.. it's been at least 5 years since ive played with eggdrop if that even exists anymore  stability is key for me.. i want to be able to ssh in, connect to my screen and actually still be connected to irc.. so i don't want a service that is flaky or the admin is constantly rebooting the box or something like that.. would also like access to a cpl vhosts.. so - who wants to sell me a shell? teek Talk to rg on Freenode, he runs http://www.bitvps.com/ and is a bitchx user himself. |

As mentioned multiple times in this thread, do not change profiles 0 and 1 unless you need to.
I am going to make this bigger and uglier every time. Fair warning.
Put it in the thread title?  * rjk ducks |

Beyond acquisition of the board, a suitable development machine (with a reasonably fast processor and LOTS of memory) would be needed, and probably the Quartus II software would need to be licensed for it as well. All of this hardware could be located at a central place with good internet connectivity. This would allow multiple people to be involved with the development while limiting the initial cost outlay.
How much memory do you need, and how much does the software cost? And how do you plan to allow access, and where is "centrally located"? Also in regards to the machine specs, what are the bottlenecks of the software other than memory? Would a fast processor or storage subsystem help a lot? Fast memory vs slow? |

Would be cool for AMD to add support for linking cards using Crossfire bridge only, then you could link unlimited cards and run them off 1 PCIe slot.
^ The Bitcoin miner's Utopia. The fan controller is coming along nicely though I've been really busy with school this week. Do you prefer the GUI to have settings from 0-255 or 0%-100%? I think the raw pwm values would be better, but its your choice. Wow it has a gui and everything ?!! Whichever way is easier, I don't mind. Hopefully it isn't stuck to windows or something, actually I'm not even sure how you are planning on interfacing with the cards at all (probes?). |

Might be interested in the PSU. My PC Power & Cooling Turbocool 1KW SR no longer operates reliably above 600W (randomly turns off) and I need something to power 4 58xx's, about 750W at the wall.
Don't those things have an insane warranty, like 7 years? Probably could get it replaced. |

Is there a way to guesstimate power consumption in your simulation?
There probably is, but just to be safe, multiply the numbers that the compiler spits out by 2 or 3. |

And once I get some more riser cables, I'll plug some of them in series so that they can reach over to the side carriers (that's what they are there for, after all).
I'm pretty interested in whether that will work. I've been considering trying that and setting a gpu on top of my cd drive xD But all the responses I've gotten say either "idk" or "i wonder..." Should work fine, as long as you aren't trying to game on it. Mining is low bandwidth, and a couple of my rigs have this: PCI-to-PCIe adapter, which goes to a x1 to x16 riser cable, which connects to a powered x16 to x16 riser, and then the video card. Works fine. dual-GPU monster cards
I guess when you get virtualization set up this will work flawlessly. This project is easily cooler than any ASIC or FPGA! (Sarcastic pun unintended, but lol.) lol yeah, it should be pretty cool with these fans. BTW how is that controller coming along? I've been trying to work out the eventual efficiency of this, but I don't have good numbers on the power draw of the board itself or the new SHB that I have ordered that supports VT-d. Removing the fans on the cards saves me a few watts, but the monster blowers that I am installing use 48 watts each or something huge like that. Maybe less when PWM'd down to 30% or whatever. The PSUs are reasonably efficient, and I will be running them on 240VAC, (hmm that reminds me I need to update the second post with some more goodies that I bought...) so I will have to find a good way to monitor the current. I wonder if the PDU I bought has current monitoring, it might actually. |

Wow, that's a new one. I've got my tech guys looking at it now.
Has anyone else had this same issue? If so, please post here.
It will probably only show if your browser has personal certificates specifically installed for this purpose (mine allow me to login to my certificate provider). Anyways, it seems to have stopped now. |

Hmm, that's an interesting idea, so the foam would just be on the Crossfire connectors. And then you would need something to support the bottom of the upper level as well. I think for now I will just leave it, since the eventual plan is for dual-GPU monster cards which presumably will have proper single-slot brackets available from watercooling shops. I could even do no support at all on the lower levels by removing the card brackets totally, and then leave the brackets on the upper cards so that they can hold themselves up, but the upper cards will also be able to have more airspace between them since they are on flexible risers and not plugged into the board. That is probably the best compromise for now. Reference this pic to see how the upper cards have space:  And once I get some more riser cables, I'll plug some of them in series so that they can reach over to the side carriers (that's what they are there for, after all). |

Sorry to here about that.
What if the top "clamp" part of the PCI support bracket was a lot wider? Is there enough of an edge/surface on a GPU card that a wider clamp's foam could press onto?
Not sure if I totally understand, but the support beam clamp arrangement is plenty wide. However, the note about the screws interfering is just because the clamp sections are thick, and the GPU support bracket is designed to be sitting on thin steel, so the screws are right up near the top of the bend in the bracket. With the stock bracket, the screws aren't totally necessary because the DVI connectors have screws that hold it on. Also, the screws that hold the clamp together are dead center in the width of it, but ideally should be in the empty space where the screws on the card bracket usually go. Sorry the picture is blurry, but you can see the repeating pattern in the foam where the brackets are, and if you look to the right side where there is a dot that is sticking through, that's where a screw hole should be since that is a void in the card's bracket.  |

I feel your pain. My mining rig, which also doubles as my daily driver, and triples as my home business computer lost an SSD and a PSU within 1 week of operation. I was down 2 weeks for the SSD, when the PSU let go I said "hell no" and picked up an 80+ gold ASAP.
OCZ SSD?  Those things are worse than sitting in the electric chair and hoping for a call from the governor. On the bright side, they know their product is junk, so they never give you any problems with RMA. I run many OCZ SSDs in my miners and haven't had one fail yet, which isn't to say they won't eventually. My rule of thumb is that if it lasts for more than a month without dying, then it is safe to use (with a good backup as usual). They always seem to fail within a month of installation, or not at all. |

Either that, or cut the backplanes and only leave the very top screw mount and the overhang (so it balances on the beam).
This is the part that I want to get fabricated, so I can keep the original brackets for resale. Unless someone wants to sell me a bunch of brackets? They could actually be from any reference card model, as long as it has the 2 screws at the top, since the rest would be getting chopped off. Would this single wide bracket work? EDIT: More info here. Available here for ~$2 each. I bought a bunch of these, and they were a flop. The tabs don't line up with the mounting holes on the cards, so I had to chop them off, and then I realized that the screw holding the bracket on was pushing the card away from the support beam. The stock bracket is held on by the DVI connector screws, since I had removed the top screws so the card would fit flush to the support beam. I guess I'll see what kind of hash and temps I can get with the stock bracket, and then move to 5970s or 7990s with a proper single slot bracket. |

With the massive amounts of money that are going into mining hardware right now, I wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole. If you do, BFL is the most profitable option by a wide margin.
Hard to believe the BTC community hasn't identified BFL's chips. Open solutions are stuck at poor profitability due to not being able to identify, IMO, what is a commodity chip. Maybe it isn't. They have hinted at such. |

I'm unable to browse spendbitcoins.com with firefox, I get this error: Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to www.spendbitcoins.com.
Peer does not recognize and trust the CA that issued your certificate.
(Error code: ssl_error_unknown_ca_alert)
while I get an error of untrusted connection while trying to browse https://au.spendbitcoins.com/Using chrome it's ok for https://spendbitcoins.com/ but I get the same error on the au site Hi Dusty, I'm very sorry for the inconvenience. We migrated to a new server yesterday in order to finalise as much automating of order fulfilment as we can and we are having some issues both with some ISPs not recognising the site as well as with some email servers rejecting our automated emails. We are working hard to resolve both issues but have had no problems actually receiving bitcoins and fulfilling orders. Hopefully all will be as normal (or better!) within the next few days. My browser recognizes the cert as legit, but why the heck is the server asking me to identify myself with one of my own certificates?  |
