The BeagleBone comes with Angstrom Linux but I've had it running Ubuntu as well.

Diaspora is one of many decentralized/p2p social networks. You're not the first to think of it.

I stopped mining p2pool a few weeks ago but I noticed that I'm still getting hits on port 9333 all the time.
Wouldn't p2pool forget my IP address after it's no longer active?

Baloney. This has already been covered before.
The single largest and best vehicle for money laundering is the USD in the form of physical bills.
Liquid and untraceable.

Keep in mind the BFL Single prices are currently being influenced by the BFL trade-up program. Sellers believe their singles are worth the trade-up value when they offer them for resale. As long as the trade-up program is in effect, BFL singles will be artificially expensive. Once the program ends they'll be the same as a Jalapeno.

I guess one can always hope some hapless noob comes along.

Golly someone just sold theirs for $400 on another thread. Is yours gold plated?
|

For all who missed out, don't worry. BFL singles will continue to come on the market at lower and lower prices over the coming weeks and months.

All except for the very last sentence where it tells you to underclock the RAM. IIRC, address mining likes its RAM speeds.
That's what I've observed. My GPU setup works best (for vanity addresses) with default voltage and clock speeds as opposed to overclocked processor, underclocked RAM and undervoltage for BTC mining. Vanity address mining performance seemed to track linearly with RAM speed. |

I see great minds think alike. Using similar calculations I determined that it currently isn't worth mining vanity addresses based on the current bounties and difficulties. Straight BTC mining is still more profitable.
For instance, 1JohnGALT with its 0.38 BTC bounty only earns about 1/2 what I can make mining BTC directly.
To be competitive, 1JohnGALT would have to offer 0.8 BTC to get anyone's attention.

Short answer:
The ASICs are application specific and are not useful for anything but BTC mining.
FPGAs are field programmable but ASICs are masked in a chip fab.

I've been running that exact Windows version for a while and never had a problem. It connects to the pool and starts mining with no problems.

OK I just wanted to confirm what I thought. I'm afraid I'm too small to mine at eligius any more.  |

Hey WK is the minimum payout still 0.67 BTC?

I run bitcoin-qt in server mode but I did it with a change to the config file.
The latest bitcoin-qt runs quite happily in this mode with p2pool.

example usage:
oclvanitygen -d 0 1JohnGalt
The number after the -d switch is the GPU device #

You really press for that BeagleBone don't you? haha. There is something to be said about the cost of each thing though. Isn't the BB more than double the cost of the RPi? And the MK802 is only a little bit less than the BB. Though crazyates they got theirs for 41 shipped. I don't know where they got theirs though.
Availability. At the time I got my BB, lead times on RPis were weeks/months. BBs shipped from stock in days. Plus they're "murrican" F yeah. Reliability. I'm not interested in being a first adopter for every new whizbangy thing that comes along. I know that new hardware is almost guaranteed to have problems and RPi had its share. I saw some chatter on message boards regarding USB issues with RPi and BFL mining. Maybe RPis ship from stock in days now and maybe they've worked out the early problems. I don't know. |

Regarding power consumption, I did some research and here's what I found from various Interwebs sources: Raspberry Pi Model B: 3.5 Watts (Wikipedia) BeagleBone: 1.5 @idle, 2.5 @peak during boot (BeagleBone reference manual PDF) MK802: 3 Watts peak (Couldn't find definitive source. This from http://romanrm.ru/en/a10/mk802-server) All of these devices are designed to be powered from USB which puts a hard limit of 500-900 mA @5 volts = 2.5-4.5 watts. So based purely on the USB power you can put a high estimate of power consumption at 4.5 watts for all of these little USB-powered board computers. The BeagleBone has lowest power consumption probably because it doesn't have a video output. If someone wants to get all patriotic about it, Raspberry Pi is developed in the UK, BeagleBone is manufactured in the US and the MK802 is Chinese. |

Mining with halved reward @ 12.60$ pays about as much as it did mining @ 5$, which you all did. The only reason to turn off your rig, before ASIC's arrives, is that you believe that the price gonna tank before your next pool payout. As for the 30TH we are seeing now, it seems that only small miners are shutting down.
Depends on whether you're looking to mine USD or BTC. I hardly looked at the BTCUSD figures. |
