Hash rates are simply a lag indicator of price...
602  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: [WTS] 6770 cards - three available on: June 13, 2013, 04:49:25 AM
I have 3 * 6770 video cards available for sale. They run  a steady 200MHs / 185kHs for BTC / LTC mining.

I am interested in moving on to a 79XX range of GPUs hence the sale.

Location is currently Central Victoria, Australia.

Offers?

For these devices to work without widespread radiation poisoning and a humongous shockwave, they have to be airburst at rather extreme altitude. This will require a spread of either FOBS or ICBM missles. Since early warning satellites and radars cannot tell that the missile showing the profile of a nuclear launch is an EMP device (since it would be riding exactly the same vehicle as a MIRV capable ICBM or FOBS) The monitoring systems would go to DEFCON 1 or it's equivalent. That means nuclear war IS ON.

Not quiet right as an EMP bomb can be as small as a brief case for localised jobs or vehicle mounted for capital city deployments.

true. However, this would only have a limited, local effect. The scope of the OP was, imao,much larger in scale as to have more than a momentary effect on bit coin or the internet.
fair call

check out "aquaponics" if your serious about self sufficeny of food production. We have a 3000L system which holds 250 plate size fish which we grow from fingerlings. The fish excrement provides food for 8 vegetable grow beds and because they are soaked in nutrient rich waters they grow 30~40% faster than any dirt veggie garden I have had before.


Done correctly, aquaponics is hughly effective, no doubt.  But doesn't your system require electricity?

My thoughts exactly, the system itself looks really cool but it definitely requires electricity which poses a problem. I live in California so solar is an option but what about at nights or during prolonged cloudy periods? If we are talking about a serious societal collapse even a generator powered by propane or diesel becomes inconvenient real quick. I know their are small semi-portable wind power generators but the problem with that and solar is what do you do if something breaks or malfunctions?

Aquaponics has been around for at least 3000 years so I suppose you could find a non-electric way to pump the water. If a hybrid solar / wind system that is off the grid concerns you then you could always go for an older wind powered water pump. If you get desperate, you can bucket the water by hand --- to cycle our system by hand I would need to move only 10 buckets of water three times a day in order to get the syphon actions working.

All in all, one of the better systems as the water you use does not drain away into the sold but stays in the closed system. Loses are from leakes and evaoraption only.

Good chance you'll have it around the end of August or Beginning of September.  Possibly earlier.

OK..thnx...will just have to hang on then...Elec costs in Australia make anything other than FPGA ? ASIC mining un-economical as elec costs US$0.30kWh flat rate    Angry

The stench of desperation is getting pretty thick, I agree.  

I'll be interested to see how irrational people like Bicknellski get when we start shipping singles this week.  Ouch.


I have some orders with BFL and was wondering what the delay time between ordering a new single and shipping will be? I ordered in Apr 13...this is a serious question not a troll

I divested my FPGAs in expectation of halving day and have not stopped kicking myself in the butt  Sad

The fish excrement provides food for 8 vegetable grow beds and because they are soaked in nutrient rich waters they grow 30~40% faster than any dirt veggie garden I have had before.

Fish stock:
* Rainbow trout (winter)
* Silver perch (summer)
* Cat fish (all-round)

Veggies (seasonal):
* Snow peas
* Broccili
* Lettuce
* Chilli
* herbs (parsley, mint, corriander, lemon grass)
* corn
* broad beans
* cucumbers
* squash
* pumpkin
* water melon

We also have 8 chickens for eggs.

This covers about 75% of our grocery bill.

All of this can be achieved in a 40m^2 area. Example site  > http://www.aquaponics.com.au

If you want to send him bitcoins, don't send it to him directly...


I was thinking the opposite.  If we could be absolutely sure that we had a valid Bitcoin address for the real Edward Snowden, this would be a great opportunity for him, freedom, privacy, and for Bitcoin.

Donations should come from everyone in this forum, most people who use Bitcoins, and (drum roll please) many freedom-loving people all over the U.S. and around the world who would instantly have a reason to download a Bitcoin wallet and put something in it, so that they could help Edward Snowden.

Do we have any trusted boots on the ground in Hong Kong to try to contact Edward Snowden?

But those don't take down the internets.
However they do take down major exchanges and ISP server locations  Smiley

Deploy them along key data structure eschange points, such as major communication fibre optic or UL/DL trunk line interchanges and you smash 90%. The remaining 10% will struggle to achieve anything resembling the whole internet structure that stood previously...

Thinking about setting up a full node...mainly interested if you get paid those small transaction limit BTCs that are sometimes asked for in transactions...if not, were do those micro-BTC units get sent to when your over the limit?
614  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: How much you paying for electricity? on: June 05, 2013, 12:50:27 AM
AU$0.28kWh in Victoria, Australia

I offset the house / mining with a 1.5kWh solar panel system which cuts my elec bill by about 20~30% (20% in winter and 30% in summer)

I have acquired 3 * 400W UPS systems which I need to connect to a solar / turbine hybrid that I am currently sourcing parts for. Thesse will run independent of the grid so as not to loose solar feed in tariff of AU$0.66kWh.
