..but if you pay taxes in the US you are paying 36% of the economy to be in the government and 50% of people to pay nothing.
I'm fairly certain that just about everyone pays sales tax, fuel tax, Property tax.. Just because 50% don't pay Income Tax doesn't mean they aren't taxed. |

Nothing of significance can be done with FPGA's besides mine.
Quite false. FPGAs are not only for mining, they can be programmed to do (almost) anything you want them to do. Indeed, products such as what Ztex sells, and the Icarus board are designed primarily as development boards. Others such as X6500 and BFL are more suited to mining only, but the chip can do many other things once it has been reprogrammed. Fine, write me a contract to buy all my FPGA boards for full price in the event that Bitcoin goes belly up. |

Hi,
I was wondering 2 things regarding FPGAs:
- What is their resale value?
- What can you do with these boards besides mining?
Your asking the wrong questions. The resale value of FPGA's is about 100% at the present. If bitcoin were to self destruct then, it would go down to maybe 10%  Nothing of significance can be done with FPGA's besides mine. |

What the heck is this homeowners insurance you all keep talking about..
it's a way to burn your house down and get out of the upside-down mortgage. then your will either get a newer bigger house, or move to a government subsidized boarding facility. Ahh so I only need it if I'm going to burn my house down. Gotcha. |

Also, the gas dryer is a great idea if you already have a gas line in your house. It would be much less costly to run than an electric dryer, plus it would free up your 240V plug. Just remember to be sitting when the gas fitter gives you the quote to run a line.  Run it yourself |

So I have this fantastic utility room with lots of space, great ventilation, and a big ole 220 volt outlet.
I would like to set-up some miners in this room, but I want it to fit in seemlessly with my wife's lovely (and massive) front loading spaceship looking washer and dryer.
Anyone have some experience splitting the power outlet so multiple appliances can be hooked up? I really dont want to have to switch back and forth everytime we have to do laundry.
It would be great to run the miners off of the same outlet without doing too much re-modelling!
Any advice would be great.
Tell her the outlet is yours now then direct all the heat from the gpus thru ducting to a drying rack. Hang the clothes on the rack, sell the dryer. |
