Just got refunded.

Some time on Tuesday apparently...

I'll be happy to see dividends go back up. If it goes up enough, I'm sure their would be enough people willing to buy them at their current price that would drive it's price back up.
Same goes for most assets in their situation. No need to provoke the trolls, I'm sure they will be surprised without it.

From what you saying, you made a good profit that is good news for the Nyan Asset, right? Well done.
Since Nyan just came into decent profits, does that mean Nyan.C is confirmed to have an increase in dividends this week?

"the more money flows into NYAN.C." - This implies, yes, I admit. But It could be dividends or reinvested, I don't know.

I noticed I know I was just being over optimistic in thinking I could get a long one.

1) I've been using it since it's release pretty much. Yes it's stable and is fine to be used continuous for days.
Invalids are always below 1% on my boards.
I have tried 2 programs to mine on it, both MPBM and I have been one of the testers for Luke-JR (BFGMiner), so that is the only stops I've made in mining.
MPBM is atm a little easier to tell invalids and rejects. Invalids are in the long term easily below 0.5% and it not unusual that some chips will report 0.1% or less invalids. I have experimented with all the way up to 220, it didn't create crazy amounts of invalids (still under 1% on average), it just sometimes for a short time went over 1%, to me that was unacceptable.
MPBM has pretty good set of rules, so it's speed increases are halted as soon as it steps over 0.1% invalids. I'd gotten use to essentially 0 invalids on his previous HV 175 bitstream, so I set the bar high on what I expect from it.
Still testing BFGMiner, so it's best if I don't comment on that at the moment.

2) Not tried reverting back to the enterpoint controller so I could use Makomk's bitstreams.
Stability has been really good since moving so not felt the need. Is there a reason to believe we can't revert back?

Amazing program.
Still playing with it, did a few which only took a few minutes.

Trying longer ones, but it seems to be be measured in many years by probability of success so I think it only find it if extremely lucky.
So I don't think I'll be seeing 1BattLeLords (First name of a game I'm developing) any time soon.
None the less very cool, my little laptop even happily manages 5 Mkeys/s which surprised me.

Yeah I got 1Lethos

Not always easy for the testers either you know Luke and Kano. I love you work, but there are two sides to it.

Yes, different fees apply, so right now I am rather annoyed at the situation.

This is really starting to be a damning blow for UK users of bitcoin, if exchanges trying to operate in the UK can't get their ducks in a row and end up being shut down because they didn't.

That is the way I see it with every exchange which tries to have a presence here, am I really that far off?

Thanks, Didn't know about that

I ended up using Mt Gox, simple because those who gave me the impression were more demographically ideal for UK users were having problems at the time, still are. I've seen too many times when exchanges have collapsed at the first sign of problems to know it's not good to trust them.

Not had any problems with Mt Gox, then again I understand why they have to be a pain with these requests for information and documents.
It's not a bitcoin thing, it's because they intersect still with the traditional banking system that requires these.

If you want to keep your ID to yourself you might want to consider quietly putting the word out that you want to do some trades among individuals. There are quite a few UK bitcoiners in the same boat on both sides of the trading  ... BTC <-> GBP

I like it cold, lets just say I am abit unusual my natural body temperate is 3 degrees Celsius above normal and often runs higher than that.
It never gets to 27, my partner is lucky if the house gets over 20 in the house. I could never survive in a hot environment like Texas.

I live in England, so probably somewhere between 15-17 Celsius atm, why? I don't like it warm in my house.

I've never tried to mine on Nvidia cards or a CPU since neither are recommended.
At the very least only try mining with the Two GPU's, not the CPU.
Yes I have heard dummy plugging does or did work.

Keep in mind, that mining with your current setup will not produce that many bitcoins and electricity wise will probably cost you more than it produces. If you okay with that, good luck.

As I said I caved and did try out MPBM, the hashvoodoo dynamic bitstream works a treat and can perform very well at 200 or more.
Some of them will perform fine at 210, some even 220. So far I've managed to keep Invalids down to a low 0.1% since I mine on HHTT and getting an invalid 32 or more difficulty to me stings.
I don't push it, since I really dislike invalids and have spent a long time time using the previous 175 version which never gave me any hardware errors.

Still getting use to MPBM, miss many of the nice features of CGminer, but it works and I'm sure I could get use to it if I could find abit more documentation on things. I've not found much yet other than how to get it installed.

Good Job Glasswalker, impressive.

Good advice. Also your comment about how difficulty is fundamental to returns in mining.

When I was about your age, I inherited that sort amount of money. Yeah most of it was wasted, it went on a good time and fun things.

But I did start my business with the rest, got servers now and a programming business and enough surplus cash to have fun toys like FPGA's, which yes provide a little income. Bitcoin is more than that to me now.

Point is, at that age most are still going to be reckless with money, if you've got a skill, and it requires a bit of start up cash try use it towards that. Try is the word here, it won't be easy since you are convincing yourself to invest in yourself, rather than something others are all convinced will make themselves money.

Bitcoin right now is right in the middle of a change, Terrible time to buy GPU's, FPGA's are not really a great time either due to ASIC's coming out soon. ASIC are available on pre-order but you won't see it for months most likely. Personally none are a good option right now.
So if you don't already have the hardware to mine, wait it out or take a risk and go with a ASIC and see how long down the list of pre-orders you end up.

Could buy bitcoins, but unless you are a savy investor the best it will be to you is long storage betting it will rise in value.
Depends if any of your skills can be used in the bitcoin community or not.

I think making it more anonymous could be counter productive to the long term health of bitcoin.

You have things like Silkroad that already use bitcoin for it's high levels of anonymity, not really the sparking demographic you would prefer to attract, but it happens. The general public, the non techy users is the ideal demographic to get using bitcoin, that would help a lot by making bitcoin easier to use for every day use.

Many scams have occurred with very large amounts of bitcoin, in many forms, a higher level of anonymity making it harder to know whom they are wouldn't be a good thing, it encourages the worst in people when they feel like they can get away with such crimes because you don't know who they are for sure.

I would never want to lessen the anonymity of bitcoin, I think it is fine as it is, there are plenty of methods to both prove who you are and inversely obfuscate your identity. I wouldn't want to add to the options that the those who give bitcoin a bad name, in allowing anyone to obfuscate their identity more, it could offset the balance.
