Already trying it parrallel. 

Dear Sirs,

Am I completely mistaken, or is Deepbit truely down? 
Please verify, I do not want to spread false alarm!

Did You think about Litecoin?

Looking around the scene, there are not too many to meet up with - beside me. But I am open to some smalltalk and a couple of beer. PM me if Your programs clarify, and You have the mood! :-)

Do I understand right, that beside the PSU and the harddrive no components needs to be financed, so that no deductions of "capital investment return" will be substracted from the mining income?

I am definitely not an expert, but does something theoretically hinders Bitcoin netwrok to do some kind of work as "proof os work" which is at the same time useful for somekind of sicentific application?
When not, it could be a huge social factor, and would take out the argument that "bitcoin cost much power", since it would in the same time do conventionally useful work. Moreover: it would provide an argument to get people on board! ("Do some good to the world, mine some BTC!")

And if many projects are submitted, people could choose their "charity". (Like in case of BOINC...)

I am aware of the fact, that GPU computation is by no means for general purpose, and many problems are quite unsuitable, but many more are not.

(Sad, that I lack the technical expertise to implement... 

So early, that nobody is avake! 

I have to disagree!

Local currency is on a theoretical level disputable, but on a practical, a quite clever idea.
It is for example an excellent way for the locals to act some pressure against the government.
(I saw some positive results in our country.)

The big issue with local money is, thet it is hard to be protected from counterfeiting, etc.
Bitcoin solves this, and is great as a "gold standard" in it.

The problem is only, that local money works mostly because it keeps the capital locally and penalizes the businesses for the unecessary use of resources/services from outside the community. Bitcoinon the other hand is by design a technology for the transfer of funds independently of location. (Many arguments for it come from the realm of international money transfer.) I see some contradiction here.

Anyhow, quite interesting thought! 

Still noone? 

Quite unbeliveable! 

Could You please point me to the link, where it says, that 4250 will support opencl? (I doubt that it is possible on the hardware level...)
I've tried to check the release notes, but it only says, that the opencl support is enhanced, etc.

 

Would be interesting though! 

Dear Sirs,

Maybe I am mistaken, but sense some confusion here:
Technologies are creations of culture (cultural artifacts, if You so will), and are thus embedded in a socio-cultural environment.
The access to them and their usage is dictated by the rules of the given culture/society PLUS their inherent possibilities. (Hard to use certain things in certain ways etc.)
The effect, that a given technology "caters the rich" comes form 1. the general tendency, that the activity of societies caters the rich (since richness means You have allocated the measurement units of value and/or control in a society, it comes with a power structure, thus ensures the processes of society reassure these structures) and 2. that it can inherently be used for a purpose (it has for example central point of control/failure...)

In the case of Bitcoin the second is not given by concept, so half of the equation is solved.
The first part is also arguable (hence it's inherent tendency to be used in "black market operations", that is transactions of value and power outside the mechanisms of societal control - see under "counter economics").

So my feeling is, that poor bitcoin gets some punches for general tendencies, in which it is by no means guilty!

IMHO!!!

Hi All,

Wondering if there are other Hungarians around in this forum? (Seen some miners on Deepbit - team: Hungary, but not too many...)

It would be fun to organize a meetup!
Anyone interested?

Hi All,

Hope I have checked right, and this is the place for official introduction.

I'm Alatus, and come from Hungary. Though quite new to Bitcoin, i' ve been running a small mining operation since June, thus lived through the "cold days of the summer" (BTC from 11 to 2, and back again), but I am still absolutely enthusiastic.
Bitcoin is a transformative new technology, which is ( will be...) much needed especially here, where we are (dispite all denial) dancing at the verge of national bankruptcy since at least 2008.

I hope to do some activism in Bitcoin in Hungary, as well as to use it if it's possible not just as a reserve currency.
We'll see.
Glad to join, anyhow! :-)
