Be careful with the aftermarket version you put in the card yourself, there are many references to dead cards after installation due to over tightening the screws around the GPUs, which can bend the PCB to the point it breaks something. I'm too lazy to leave a url, but google for it and you'll find plenty an example... although on the other side it is AMAZING when it is carefully placed or bought already installed from factory.

The only other thing this patch could do to make the thing complete is 'popkey', where the key is printed AND removed from wallet. I know it's kind of dangerous, maybe dump first would be required just to have some sanity check, but for bitbills it would make everything much simpler, no need for a new wallet for each bill, just address. I do have other use cases in mind, like simple backup wallet creation on paper, that I can put in a safe box (which with the current patch I can already do) without all the stop client, move wallet, start client, new address, dump key, stop client, rm wallet, move old wallet back, start client... which is in itself very, very dangerous when undercaffeinated or overalcoholized  |

I have the same problem with my 5970  . Gigabyte by chance? Nope, Saphire. But the problem is, I believe, bad VRM, basically overheated to death. The card does at times operate the first core for a bit, so the GPU is certainly fine. |

Hello all, In the process of my mining and overclocking experimentation I've managed to cripple my 5970. Basically the first core locks as soon as it leaves the idle state, making it useless for hooking a monitor to it. I still mine on the second core, which gives me ~300MHs at default clocks and low memory, using phoenix on ubuntu. I have replaced it today with a new (to me, that is) one and don't feel like building a new rig for it So, you'll get a Saphire branded 5970 that you can mine with, provided you only use the second core. I can push it to 800Mhz without issues, except for the deafening sound of the stupid stock cooler. If you wanna you can also get the original box, the Dirt 2 voucher and the selection of connectors that came with it. I offer no warranty whatsoever but am willing to take the card back for the price paid (except for shipping) if it doesn't behave like advertised. It's some 2.5Kg total with box and all, so expect 9 btc shipping to Europe, probably 1.5~2x that to the US. Have no base price, bid away. Oh, and since I crippled it I have been mining non-stop, and that was some 2~3 months ago, so I'm pretty confident it will do good by the new owner. |

Hi,
This is my situation: I have (legal) acces to a company which has for the moment a very big server room with only 5 servers running. There is place for a lot more servers (+50 rigs possible). The electricity is payed with a flat fee (so it does not matter if I use more or less). And I am allowed to use the server room for my own servers.
At this moment I have already invested some money of my own in gpu-rigs (which are already mining next to the 5 servers).
As I am still a student I don't have a lot of money. So by renting systems I can buy new ones faster. Like that I can use the server room at its full capacity and let the systems pay them self (by renting them). I looked for getting a loan but as I am a student this is very difficult to get.
My ultimate goal is having a lot of gpu rigs and mine for myself, but before getting there I can people letting use the machines (at very low prices) and pay for them with the rent I receive.
The advantage for customers is they get cooled gpu rigs in a professional server room for a low price (no need to pay extra for the electricity). The advantage for me is I can pay for a lot more servers faster (with mining it would take much longer to get enough money) and use the total capacity of the server room with the money I get from the contracts (solving my cashflow problem)
I hope you understand my explanation. Feel free to ask more questions!!!
You can also try out 2 days for free!!!
It does make sense now that you explain and it seems like a good deal. But how long are the contracts you are selling? If 1 month, then you are better off mining yourself. If 6 month~1year, how do we know you'll still be able to use the server room? I don't mean to nitpick, but I have a project that would require miners, and your offer seems made to fit, but I'm not yet totally convinced it is practical. |

Q&A:
I am a new bitcoin mining enthousiast in central Europe with a lot of space, a lot of free electricity and a lack of money who is looking for a way to pay new rigs. Currently I have started mining with my own rigs but I could place a lot more rigs if I had the money for it. So by letting people rent the systems I can buy new rigs with the income an the people can take profit of my low prices. I'm having trouble understanding this: So you have, say, 2 machines. They are mining. You don't have money to build more machines other than the profit from the 2 machines you mine with. You accept payment in bitcoins, you actually prefer it... How is this different from you using the bitcoins you earn mining yourself? How are you going to buy new rigs with the profit from the service, but not from the servers? Either the deal is bad for me, the renter (you get more from renting than mining, and thus I loose) or for you (could make more mining that renting). For the larger renters that charge a premium for large throughput I understand... I can spend a little more than I would mining at home and get the same expected outcome, where they get that something more I'm paying. They probably loose in the long run but are protected from a market crash, I win because I have zero work to get mining and I can scale if needed. Before I go about thinking any more seriously about this... what is your angle? |

Where are you based? I want the EU version of Portal 2 for PS3.

I was wondering how this applaud / smile thing would work... now I get it All I can say is; great, now bobR is going to troll AND smite on everyone. |

I'm torn. On one hand I want to fix this... But on the other hand, since the possibility of a block both passing both the
H=0 requirement to get returned to the host and the nonce=0 requirement to get discarded by the caveat is highly improbable,
Heh I know. But I'm perfectionist here, and modified OpenCL code has only 1/2^32 chance of actually being slower in execution, because it's all enclosed inside an "if" conditional. So it isn't making calculations any slower, actually. Beware, though, that 'if' statements make paralel optimization harder and the opencl runtime may end up being a LOT slower with a simple conditional branch command that looks all innocent. |

@mintymark
I would certainly be open to any kind of deal, and the "lease to buy" thing seems pretty cool.

Any pics of the house and surroundings?
which of them? I never posted pics of the one in Brazl because I'm a paranoid person, but I can select a few photos to put up *if* there is real interest. |

We are the bitcoin realestate pioneers! Though I must tell you, even though we're only two, it seems the demand is still several orders of magnitude lower than the offer.
|
|
|

My bid still stands  And it looks more interesting every day! |
|
|
|

So this topic was dropped a long time ago, but I still have the house for sale and what were 500k coins are now ~40k. So the question once again applies; would you buy a house for bitcoins?

I'm going to retract my bid for now, given the massive fluctuation recently.
That's fair, although bar for the shipping costs, there is no need for correlation between bitcoins and dollars on this deal. How much is the XO worth to you... in bitcoins?  But I get it, we need to think in terms of what we are used to, and that will be USD or EUR or whatever, so here's a reverse proposal: C1 - 60 coins - sold B2 - 35 coins plus shipping: 10 coins to europe, 16 for US. Offer valid for today, first come, first served. Equipment shipped on Monday. |

I see everywhere... is there an alternative, or a need to specify this when using phoenix? |

This is ever so slightly off topic, but did people signing the PSN EULA waived the right to sue in case of identity data theft? I'm guessing that a class action could hurt sony, even if only a bit, and I for one would put some coins down to see that happen |

Didn't test yet, but I have receive a x16 cable and it looks good Thanks! |

you mention no core dump, can you check before running bitcoind and on the same shell you are about to run it on? I've found this was happening to me when using ssl, in a completely unpredictable way, but the core was dumped on exit. |
|
|
|
|
And I'm back. Any more offers?
BitterTea, given the exchange rate I need to ask, is your offer still valid?
