I have looked into the legal hurdles, mostly involving issues with money laundering, and have decided that this project would not be illegal, and will therefore be put back onto track. I of course reserve the right to stop the project again if other issues turn up, but basically it does not seem to be illegal by any current US law. There are laws preventing the creation of a system for money laundering, but the purpose of the coin is NOT to launder money, and arguably cash/printed money could be considered a system with equivalent possibilities for money laundering. Additionally, any system in which a commodity, currency, or barter is used could be considered a way to launder money, and since money launderers would have to purposely take steps to make the system work for money laundering (mixing services, taint analysis, etc.), it can be said that the system/network itself is not aimed at money laundering. Therefore, the project is back on, and scheduled for late June. Thanks!!  |

Warranty:
We don't provide any warranty ourselves on the machines we sell, however many of the components come with manufacturer warranties. You will need to open the box to send items back. We will guarantee that when the product leaves us, it works great.
I strongly recommend that you look up the notion of "statutory warranty," because as a seller, you cannot disclaim every warranty in most jurisdictions. A statutory warranty, as I understand it, is used in real estate (mostly) and certifies that the seller has the title on the property being sold. I am afraid you are wrong on that. You may wish to look up the Sales of Goods Act and the Consumer Protection Act of various provinces. "For example, in Washington when a grantor (seller) delivers a statutory warranty deed, the grantor warrants "(1) That at the time of the making and delivery of such deed he was lawfully seized of an indefeasible estate in fee simple, in and to the premises therein described, and had good right and full power to convey the same; (2) that the same were then free from all encumbrances; and (3) that he warrants to the grantee, his heirs and assigns, the quiet and peaceable possession of such premises, and will defend the title thereto against all persons who may lawfully claim the same, and such covenants shall be obligatory upon any grantor, his heirs and personal representatives, as fully and with like effect as if written at full length in such deed." RCW 64.04.030. A warranty deed has nothing to do with the quality or condition of the improvements -- the warranties affect title only." The Sales of Goods Act applies to the United Kingdom. As for the Consumer Protection Act: Whenever you buy merchandise, it comes with a warranty. This is a guarantee that it will serve the purpose it was purchased for - in other words, it will work.
The two basic types of warranty are express and implied. An express warranty is a promise from the seller, either written, oral or in an ad, promising that the item will perform its function for a specified period. Whether the item purchased is new or used, an express warranty is a guarantee that the item will work. However, not all items come with an express warranty.
The law automatically provides the second type of warranty, the implied warranty. Implied warranties are a part of all retail sales of new and used consumer goods. Basically, the retailer of an item implies that the item will work properly and be of average grade and quality, as long as it is used for the purpose it was sold. For example, a refrigerator will keep stuff cool as long as you are not trying to cool the entire room, and a blender will blend as long as you are not blending rocks. The Consumer Protection Act can last UP TO four years in perfect circumstances, but would be far less in the case of high-performance computing devices, which don't last nearly that long. It is an implied warranty that takes reasonable considerations into account. The products I sell are made from high quality parts, and will work well in areas with proper ventilation and cooling. My products do come with warranty; the manufacturer's warranty for every component is forwarded onto the buyer. As stated before, if the buyer wishes to pay for shipping, I'll gladly fix the product, however it is much faster and more cost effective for the buyer to go directly to the manufacturer. |

As a clarification, if a person would like to ship the product back to me for fixing I don't mind at all, as I can do the RMA myself. It is just cheaper and easier for the buyer to go through the manufacturer, as they only have to ship a light-weight part rather than a 40-pound monster. |

I'm still struggling with Ubuntu ... very hard time after using Win for over 10 years.
I find CentOS to be a tad easier myself Might just be because I've worked with it for longer than debian . . . |

Glad to see it made it to you in working order! I am sure that was a major fear. haha
Yeah, good to know I packed it good enough, shipping a somewhat-delecate thing for the first time is always scary. |

Looks very interesting. |

Thanks very much for this!
Sure! |

There's two ways to get YaCoin mining on CentOS (like a rented server); The Easy way, and the Hard way. There has been information going around (likely FUD) that the YaCoin client steals bitcoins from you. This thread shows you how to mine them, and does not need the yacoin client. You can mine to the yacoin pool (at don't mine me). The Easy Way: I made a script that does everything for you. Ta-da! wget vorksholkms.com/yacoin.sh
chmod a+x yacoin.sh
./yacoin.sh
Then: cd cpuminer screen -S miner ./minerd -o http://yourpool.com:port -u username -p password -a scrypt-jane --threads #CPUs (where #CPUs is the number of cores your computer's processor(s) have) Want to do it yourself? Cool! sudo yum -y groupinstall "Development Tools"
sudo yum -y install git libcurl-devel python-devel screen rsync
git clone https://github.com/ali1234/cpuminer
cd cpuminer
./autogen.sh
./configure CFLAGS="-O3"
make
Then: cd cpuminer screen -S miner ./minerd -o http://yourpool.com:port -u username -p password -a scrypt-jane --threads #CPUs (where #CPUs is the number of cores your computer's processor(s) have) As well, I may start selling servers soon that have a dedicated i7-2600 or i7-3770 for ~$100/month, and it will point towards your pool, be pre-configured, and 24/7 with 99% uptime. |

After some testing with the case having the side panel secured to the unit, the miner is still capable of 1.1MH/s in reasonably-temperatured environments (72F to 76F). I modified the case slightly by flipping the intake side fan to be an output fan -- so instead of blowing air down on the cards while they are trying to spew warm air up, it works with the cards to pull the heat off the top of the cards. I'm going to update my site in the next day or two to reflect the danger of opening the side of the case (small kids/pets sticking stuff in the fans, getting injured, touching hot stuff), and will be/am in the process of contacting people who have already ordered to make sure they are alright with the change in design/marketing/etc. Will be accepting more orders at the new +$25 price very soon. Thanks for your patience. The cards are directing air out from the back of you computer because of the heat-sink design. Did you thy "fan blows air into cads, they blow said air onto heatsink and out of the back of you you computer"? Not bashing just saying. Not quite sure what you are saying, but since these cards are non-reference-design, they tend to ventilate through the top of the card (opposite of the PCIe connection) as well. The fans, if left alone, would push air down into the cards while the cards are trying to push some air out the top. However, flipping the fan pulls out both the hot air exhausted from the top of the card, as well as the heated air the back of the boards produce. Cheers! |

Next week will be extremely busy for me, so accepting orders will continue after May 19th. Sorry for the inconvenience.

That's what I'm planning for the coin I might be making at some point . . . |

I wonder if it would be possible for the 'cure' blockchain the the 'scrypt' blockchain to somehow be integrated together in such a way that perhaps some part of the data hashed relates to the previously-mined protein folding block? Not sure if I understand this fully though  I did protein folding for a while on my GPU, also did some projects with SETI, tried my hand at a prime number generator (and found a titan), it was quite a bit of fun. It'd be nice to see that NVidia card go to work again |

Testing has shown that, in a 76 degree Fahrenheit house, the unit is able to hash at just over 1.1MH/s and keep both cards in the 80-85C range, with the full case on, and assembled. It has been holding that hashrate+temp for a little over 2 hours, and is going strong.
It's also fairly quiet, quiet being, of course, a relative term.

Excited to see the implementation, sounds like tons of fun!

Is that a Corsair case? You might wanna take advantage of their cable management. Also the red crashes with the blue from the PSU.
It's a Rosewill Blackhawk, and the cablemanagement with it is alright, some of the cables for front panel connectors run a bit short, unfortunately. |

Having the side on+fan blowing air onto them worked wonders for my cards. Have you tested this? Also congrats for using ASrock motherboards. A company that changed their product from not POST-ing so something good in a few years. Hope you grow your business.
That's what I'm hoping, I gotta do some testing though, see how the performance turns out On a side note, shipped the first unit out yesterday, person is going to post a few pics when he receives it |
