SR charges a fee to become a seller. I think it's somewhere around $150.

IMHO - No one selling anything they can't sell legally somewhere else should buy this.
Sounds like a way to catalog a SR seller to me.

Hi,

   I would like to enter the raffle please

   My favorite "coin" is the gold assay cards from AMPEX. AMPEX was super good to be during the silver bubble and made me 300% of my investment. I wish I had invested more. My Grandmother bought me these 1 gram gold assay cards for my birthday when I was a kid and my dad saved them for me and gave them to me when I grew up. I never sold them and I still have a bunch in my safe-T-deposit box. They're awesome to look at and hold in your hand.

Thanks and I hope you like my slogans.

Hi there,

    I'm not sure there is an answer to this questions. Luck is luck afterall, but it seems that when deepbit is having bad luck, it tends to last quite a while. I was wondering if anyone could offer suppositions on why this might be. Good luck never seems to last as long as bad luck. We had a +98% day a little over a week ago. I'm not sure I've ever seen a -98% day. Then again, There are many more -20% days than +20% days.

    Best I could come up with is somehow the hashes are salted with the calendar and some days are extra salty.

    To be clear, I love deepbit. I prefer running in proportional mode. 99.9% of my hashes go there and the other .1% goes to a backup PPS pool when deepbit can't be reached. I'm just genuinely curious as to why bad days seem to last a good 24+ hours instead of 6, or 12 hours. I'm in it for the long haul till GPUs aren't profitable and I realize that over time it all evens out. It sure is nice when there are -50% days vs +60% days like we had yesterday

Sept 9 will bring smiles to most.

I predict that Matthew knew all along that everyone got totally scammed by pirate and this is his way of giving back money to the people who lost it. Out of his own damn pocket.

If you look at this as a bet, The man would have to be on drugs.

Since he does not do drugs, The man is a philanthropist.

Good Onya Matthew.

Thanks for the free bit penny skydust
You are a generous individual.

I'll take a free bit penny any day.

dude, there are other pools.try switching for a bit.

I use btcguild as a backup I have not been experiencing connection problems from Florida USA to deepbit.

Actually it's all my fault. I only washed my hands 10 times an hour yesterday where I normally wash them 12.7 times an hour to ensure the world keeps turning. I should have never listened to my shrink who suggested I wash them just a little bit less to prove the bubble of a universe we live in doesn't pop, or change...

Obviously the shrink was WRONG..

I've washed my hands 14.3 times extra so far this morning so things should return to normal soon. I hope I've done the math right, cause the world could start spinning too fast if I've made a mistake and that would certainly throw the entire bitcoin economy off when we started solving blocks in 3 seconds.

Again, I'm sorry.  Please forgive me.

Tom,

   thank you for the information you sent me recently in eMail. I appreciated your quick response (on a sunday),

   I have another question and this is the best place to ask it.

   Others have asked this but I hadn't seen a reply from you in those threads.

   Be it 2 months, 6 months or a year, eventually it will cost more in electricity than can be earned  (assuming $10USD value of BTC)

   Aside from password cracking. Have you identified other uses for the ModMiner quad?

I had some problems setting up ubuntu on a usb stick also.

I continue to have problems actually. I have one USB stick which worked and I made that on a borrowed windows laptop with unetbootin. I have a windows laptop of my own and unetbootin wouldn't create a bootable stick on any stick I owned... same stick, different windows machine... success.

Yesterday I tried to make a backup of my now configured stick. Shut it all down and put in an exact duplicate sandisk 8gb stick.
dd if=stick1 of=stick1
This wrote out a file system just fine but the stick will not boot so I don't know what I'm missing.


Great. I would like to know.


As long as your CPU isn't at 100% and you aren't using the machine to do anything else, -I 9 is recommended in the README.

(your welcome)

If your miner is dedicated running with the -I 9 option.

Like the directions say, most of the options beyond username/password/host/intensity cause problems.

That said, I think the default overheat shutdown temps need to be reduced to 78c from 85c and the target temp needs to be reduced to 65c from 75c.

What version of the 7970 did you get? Some can be overclocked more than others.

I have three MSI 7970s with the Frozr fan setup and a voltage regulator for overclocking. (NewEgg $519 currently)

I am running ubuntu 12.04 also on a usb like you.

my MSI cards with the following..

GPU Clock: 1185
MEM Clock: 1300
Fan Speed: 80%
GPU Temperature: 65c
Voltage: Factory
Hash Rate: 708MH/s
Case: open side panel.

I don't understand the voltage settings so I have not attempted to modify that. I have tried very low memory clocks and the system becomes unstable below 1200. I have tried much faster memory clocks and the system becomes unstable at 1400. I have tried very high gpu clocks and the system becomes unstable above 1200 Somewhat more stable at 1190. 1185 seems to be the most stable (so far)

1200 gpu clock produced 730-743 MH/s
1190 gpu clock produced 715-720 MH/s

There is a wiki which lists cards and settings at - https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison

I would love to hear other people's settings on this card though.

EDIT: I didn't mean 1900 for gpu clock (1300 is max). I meant 1190... fixed.

I was looking at the litecoin sites this morning and the ones listed on the litecoin site seemed to be recently shut down. I couldn't quickly google any exchanges and the software for mining on windows didn't work out of the repository I found it on.

I assumed that litecoin had died.

Did I miss something? Got a link for a miner?

This whole business of Matthew's bet and Pireat's drama is more riveting than the casey anthony trial. This is high end entertainment here.
If y'all could keep this shit up for the next couple of months I would really appreciate it. I'm not being facetious even.. People pay good money for this kind of shit.

You need a publicity agent?

I see big things in your future!

1BTC pegged to 1oz of gold would be quite nice.

quite nice indeed.

Deepbit is down at the moment. If you were super FUDdy it might be a problem. But deep bit lets you auto withdraw any amount 3 times a day (unlike btcguild which has a .1 BTC limit).

Hi,

   I'm FLHippy.. I live in paradise

   (only one more post.)

Hi

   So I'm now a couple months into a $2500 hardware investment. I've got 3 MSI Lightening HD 7970s running full time, stable at ~710MH/s for each card.

   I've paid for 1/3 of my investment after electricity costs.

   Has anyone done specific calculations on various hardware for what can be expected when the ASIC stuff comes out from butterfly labs? Their website claims that "no one will be able to mine with FPGA/GPU hardware after October."

 Is this a true statement?

  Basically I'm wondering if I should try to sell this hardware now while I still can since the 8000 series of GPUs are due out in a week or two (not that anyone can get one then but..). I would hate to get "stuck" with hardware I can't use anymore. I'm not a game enthusiast.

Problems still exist with this scheme.

Buyers (even real ones) don't read the item description and you end up with people who do not meet your requirements. eBay's automatic buyer restrictions do not allow you to limit based on feedback score or membership duration.

For these buyers I offer to allow them to initiate a cancel item request or receive their bitcoin purchase on a CD. As long as you ship their item to you, you *might* be covered by PayPal's seller protection. If they initiate the cancel item request, you get your final fee value back but not the item listing fee.

I send them a bitcoin address and a private key. I even spiffy it up with a vanity bitcoin address.

I sell bitcoins on eBay in constant in fear of chargebacks. it's the nature of the game. It's not evil as some people suggest. Many of you were quite hard on the original poster. While I feel your separatist morality when it comes to money... the fact remains that we all have to eat... and own kick ass computers. Don't judge lest you be judged.

Love
FLHippy
