Hopefully with these companies making huge investments in bitcoin tech, we can see people making bigger investments in promoting the use and therefore increase in value in bitcoin. We should be seeing ads on TV, having people try to get local businesses around the country hooked up and using the currency. In theory, they should be all for it because they won't have to pay swipe fees, which can add up.
We agree with you Ytterbium. Our goals are certainly in alignment with the promotion of BTC overall, and we will be working the press on this front. (my job) Cheers, John btw I can vogue for John, known him for many years. Deff a stand up guy so keep an eye on what they doing

The difference between trying to develop a chip in Silicon Valley, v.s. trying to design a chip from the middle of Kansas.
+1

well I live in the bay area and im surprised that this hasn't happened sooner where lots of people from the bay area/silicon valley get together to build a chip, we have some of the top developers here and I personally know quite a few at both nvidia, amd and intel. So yea its possible to get something powerful out and with the the increase in devices coming out and making the diff rise the next step in chip tech is in the ranges of 100Gh/s or higher per chip in order to stay competitive. Your 333mh/s usb stick might pay off in 170 days.. but I have a feeling with avalon chips and other stuff coming out aug/sept that well if you dont have something big your roi is going to be hard to make. Of course lots of big dogs on this forum who have the cash to buy the bigger devices and got lucky to order early but the next few months will be quite interesting , and maybe next year 1Th/s is the norm ... just my 2 cents.. as for these guys we will see

Watching also, need a bit more hashing power .1 sounds awesome .6 is still to much :/

Zefir do we get any indication that the chips have been sent from batch one for those of us in that batch? For example I had requested to have mine sent to burnin but no idea if you did yet.. How will you handle letting people know?
|
|
|
Yes.. sorry typed to fast w/o thinking
|
|

Long night passed - I can't count QFN48 chips any more
Heading to Germany now to send packages from there. I think i see my chips on that stack

So it's adding VAT to US orders as well?
its what looks like a bug on the first page, once you select shipping and location and go to the final page u see the vat is removed, but your still paying anywhere from 50 to 100 euro to get something shipped to the US, which seems quite expensive to me..
|
|
|
question, do we pay VAT tax for being in the US? the tax on burnins site is quite expensive.. edit: sorry its not on the checkout, but the shipping options are crazy esp for one board>>?? Standard: €50 Express: €100

Can some kind soul give a good non mathematical explanation of sievesize, and what is a good setting, when to change it etc.. ?
cheers

Btw zefir announced that the fist batch has been shipped (on its way to him) I have a few chips in that batch and want to make sure burnin gets them.
Need any help on the website I'm an experienced web developer

Their are issues with the server, also you can see others adding orders when you check out, something is improperly configured, when I added my order and checked out, their where 13 orders in the cart none of them where mine.. I suggest that you disable it and do a bit more testing if you need help im an expert on nginx, wordpress etc..

anyone here working with him? .. seems like he wants devs to step up and work on a client with him, asking if its done or something is prob not the right thing here..

mikaelh, can you provide the same steps for UBU 12.04 LTS?
I used the steps on my ubuntu server 12.0x
|
|

ran this guide on one of my new ubuntu 12.x servers and when running the command to start it i get these errors
gateway@a:~/work$ ./run-primecoind: line 1: 14844 Illegal instruction (core dumped) primecoind > /dev/null 2>&1 ./run-primecoind: line 1: 14847 Illegal instruction (core dumped) primecoind > /dev/null 2>&1 ./run-primecoind: line 1: 14850 Illegal instruction (core dumped) primecoind > /dev/null 2>&1 ./run-primecoind: line 1: 14853 Illegal instruction (core dumped) primecoind > /dev/null 2>&1 ./run-primecoind: line 1: 14856 Illegal instruction (core dumped) primecoind > /dev/null 2>&1
You can type killall run-primecoind to kill the script if you haven't already. GCC is misdetecting your CPU and compiling wrong set of instructions into the binary. I removed the -march=native compiler flag from the instructions. I guess I'll have to leave it out if it's causing too many problems. I get the same error. But the process is still active, and show the same amount of pps. It's bad if i let run like that? re go though the steps, if you did this earlier a change was made to remove something that might cause this, the error should go away then
