What metal would be best to attach directly to the current heatsink in 20x20cm form and would help dissipate thebest

If you are willing to spend a lot of money, then attack a strip of silver or gold, they actually conduct heat the best.
If not, use a piece of copper or aluminium. Be careful though, silver and gold are also very electrically conductive.

No, I want to import some vanitygen adresses into Electrum, that I can receive BTC with these "cool" adresses.

You take the private keys from VanityGen and import them into Electrum.

Electrum. Or a paper wallet for long term storage.

just got electrum, but could You explain why is it safer? It uses other networks, which might be compromised, can they?
It can be stored offline. So, It is secure, Oh and it doesn't download the blockchain.

Not downloading the blockchain is like the biggest feature, +it doesn't have to be online.

there are tricks for speeding up the blockchain syncing using bittorent and a dump of the blockchain: look up blockchain bootstrapping. Lots of tutorials available.

Still, some people are not happy to have 16GB+ data on their HD.

And for some people, downloading 16 GB takes loving ages.

Yup. And not just a day or two, but like half a month or more. Crappy internet speed. So I use Electrum.

What about alt coin mining if your normal PC is a gaming pc? I'm on a MSI GT70 with VGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 675MX. Waste of time and security risk (I use this pc to access servers I manage and client websites) or worth a shot? Any thoughts?
No, If you look at this site, Nvidia cards are useless no matter how expensive it is.

https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparison

They aren't that useless, they just have a relatively lower hashrate compared to AMD cards, but they are still worth something.

March into their HQ? No need. They can simply send them an email.

Nah, the KGB might be monitoring  Grin

You mean US-KGB  Grin Grin as they do currently listen more than 5 million people worldwide, including presidents and prime ministers of various countries.

Nope, the Five Eyes and all the world governments are planning to establish a new world order, so we are all being observed lol.

Could I just use thermal paste and attach another heat-sink directly to the back of the current metal heat-sink directly. Could I in essence attach a long ie 15cm piece of metal to increase the surface area to cool down and still use a fan.

If so, what metal would i use.

I currently use a Ghetto Wind Tunnel made with a USB Desk fan and a Coke bottle with the top and bottom cut off.



Could I ramp this up and make a larger wind tunnel with 30x30cm bits of metal attached to the back of the miner

I think it's okay to do so, i don't see any problem with that.

I'm not entirely sure if this is the right place to ask, but every time I try to PM someone, it tells me I already posted something about 360 seconds ago. The time between the last message and the one before that well exceeds 360 seconds. So what's the problem?

Any forum activity (including logging in) is counted, messaging isn't independent of that.
That means, posting, PMing, Logging in, reporting a post, changing your signature.

Don't forget about searching Tongue

Yep. And you can only do one of that every 360 seconds.
3551  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: I send bitcoin from MultiBit but they never arrived on: January 27, 2014, 10:35:55 PM
(There may be other possibilities that I have not thought of).

It is possible the recipient was using mtgox to receive the funds, and mtgox was having issues again lol.

Anyway, if OP checks blockchain.info (or the other sites I posted) and finds the tx confirmed, then it is pretty much the recipient's responsibility to fix problem on his end.
Yup. So unless he gave you his address wrong, which is his fault, or you typed it in incorrectly, then he must've recieved the funds, and if not, it's his fault.

You should cloud mine. You dont have to worry about the hardware. You pay for it and then they run it for you, works great for me. Check my signature for more info Smiley
Cloud Mining is terrible. It is unprofitable.

Just watch out that the hashrate doesnt get to high, see middlecoin, they payouts are getting less with a to high hashrate.

Well today we are having an awful day, look at the 24hr stats.

Im putting out 80TH miners soon!!.. one sec while I make up a fake website and a new user name

Yup, and he will co-operate with me, an awesome person. And we will name our company DOG MINER, since dogs dig holes for bones. And they mine them by digging them out. Plus, it's the name of our founder.

Immersion cooling is expensive and messy. Just install a heatsink!
Im going to buy liquid nitrogen. Its colder, and when my GPU or CPU heats up, I'll just pour in some more.

That stuff is expensive and dangerous. You can easily freeze you hand, and if not, break your rig.
Some guy demonstrated it on youtube. Its easy.

I never said it was difficult. If you leave your hand in the stuff for more than 3 seconds, you're a goner. And it could potentially freeze your rig and render it unusuable, unless you have a safe system of pouring the stuff in.
Im pretty sure its safe I am looking for the video right now. Smiley

Well you can try it, the stuff isn't cheap. Good Luck.

And once you used it up you will have to buy more.
