Those GPUs will find a happy home in the altcoin mining arena, of which there are several new ones to play with.

Thank you for taking cloudhashing off of the "Approved non scam list".
I am still 98% positive that is a scam, it is just a well implemented scam with faked documents, a legit website, etc.
I was kind of shocked you gave them your seal of approval, but did not say anything. I guess because he sent you his forged BFL preorder proof you did this, I can see your reasoning. But this kind of information can be easily faked by anyone that has Photoshop and half a brain.
I had a convo with their owners, though in the end I don't put it past anyone how meticulous a lie can be. They seemed honest though. Avalon ASIC - launch.avalon-asics.com/ (Product shipments confirmed in the wild, shipping of next batch is imminent)
and from avalon's web site: Batch #1
Batch Status: Shipping
Unit Price: $1299
Batch Size: 300 Units
Order Opened On: Sept 23th, 2012
Payment Processor: Paysius
Shipping Time: March 3st, 2013. So we have 300 comfirmed shipments? If not how many people are actually mining with avalon asic units atm? I m just asking because i m new around and i can't tell by browsing this forum if asic mining is something that is happening right now or there is one and only asic miner out there and an endless number of people waiting and speculating. Thank you. It would seem that way, Avalon has delivered in the past I see no reason to doubt they will miss their target |

I just put my new mining machine on it, throwing about 900 Khash at it  |

The scam alert portion of this has been removed, color codes only reflect hardware shipping status now. A failed experiment, I admit, I never meant to be any kind of authority and not what I had in mind, let's get this back on course.
This list is now informational only on the current status of hardware producers and a simple listing of new mining services, and community scam alerts. An at a glance status of the industry if you will.
Has anyone had direct contact with the listed companies so far aside Avalon and BFL?

It seems what we need here is to voice the overall feeling of the community when it comes to whether a business is a scam or not, so I will begin generating community polls to reflect this over the color coded method. No, what we need is a ban on members who make threads like this, believing they are the "authority" on what is a "scam" and what is not. You are also assuming that the vast majority of people here are incapable of discerning whether or not they can trust a company - in other words you think they're all stupid. The people who do get roped into a scam are usually victims of their own greed. Unless you have any FACTUAL EVIDENCE that support your allegation that a specific company is engaging in fraudulent activities, you should keep your mouth and your speculations to yourself. I will simply otherwise only add relevant facts to the database as we come across them supporting both sides of scam or legitimate. How about you start by giving us a full disclosure on yourself. Your real name? Your address? Your phone number where we can call if we have to check up on any of your "relevant facts". This should do away possible bias from me personally in deciding what status is declared.
Does this sound like the direction we should go? The direction you should go is away! The folks reading this thread should recall that the whole idea behind bitcoins "anonymity and freedom from centralized control". This fool wants to appoint himself as a federal regulator. A federal regulator? Ease up tough guy. I just wanted to organize something communal for consumer awareness in dealing with these companies, because a lot of them are scammers. I'm not appointing myself anything but a record keeper of relevant facts in a collected place so instead of countless "is it a scam" threads for an easy assessment. I am going to entirely reformat this into more of a factsheet and instead of a firing squad., simplify it based on who has shipped or not and and relevant data about these businesses. If this goes off course I am happy to request this thread be pulled myself. Maybe, BTC-Joe you could offer a better idea instead of calling me some kind of crypto-facist and instigating a flame war. |

Ive been mining litecoin so im not too sure how the numbers compare. I have 3x 7850 @ 1100 Core/1200 Memory, average around 380KH/s each ./cgminer --lookup-gap 2 -I 20 --thread-concurrency 8192 -w 256 https://i.imgur.com/oD2ovzF.pngThanks for the specs, I in cgminer Im rolling around 320 Khash/s each with similar settings, I will try this config and see if it improves. |

Like many scared citizens, their trust in big banking is failing at a rapid pace. Can you imagine if USD was inflating at 25% per year? They want out, and Bitcoin is a way to do that and put what wealth they have left into a system the banks can't touch.
This, ladies and gentleman, is why Bitcoin will succeed. I don't see the populace's opinion of banks is likely to shift back in their favor either, as anything more than highway robbers.

That seems a fairly glaring oversight given their stated goal.
Yes, it does. I noticed, in a thread from 2012, someone calling out current Scryot implementations as light/fake/tuned down. Botnet safe, as it were. Is this still the general feeling on it? Is this the variant used in LTC? And is there a significant problem with running the full version of the algorithm? Honestly, I would prefer my CPU mining to occur mostly unnoticed in the background. With the advent of specialized devices simple botnets will become useless overall, the returns will become so low even on a million infected PCs putting a CPUs worth of hashpower into the network will still be eclipsed by ASIC and more powerful hardware. I would say the hacking game is on the way out for BTC, but Litecoin and other alts would still be suceptible to this as they are still primarily CPU/GPU based starting out. A USB type device could be secured easier from intruders and overpower them in raw computing power. Eventually botnets will be out of business but it will just spread to the altcoins instead until altcoin hardware is ready to grow up. It seems Litecoin is ready, and so are you. Presently I am just getting to know the dev team and organizing a proper home for us. This right here is the start of a brand new industry, by community, for community, as Satoshi intended |

Bitcoin definitely has the potential to rock the boat in a big way as the vaccuum of trust people have in their banks and governments continues to grow, and as Cyprus already cased, Bitcoin is the exit door on a failing economy, that is only months or years from a complete collapse. Bitcoin is so readily and easily deployable compared to the current nightmare hose beast of a system that it could in theory provide a backstop against a failed economic system. Bitcoin will continue to spread and over-write the bad financial sectors, with whatever positive wealth there is shifts to BTC and other coins, and leaving the mountain of debt to rot in the 7th circle of hell with the FEDs printing press.
I have researched a lot on the New World Order, I have to say I think it is one of those things hard to accept if you are a decent human being that such a terrible evil could possibly exist. But look at our lives. The rich and powerful used their gilded tower to buy more wealth and more power to rob us of our common wealth and power. I exist in one of those in a smaller college town, there is nothing I can do here to get past around $10 an hour when everything keeps getting more expensive. I went to school and got a degree like they told us to, at least thankfully I went into IT instead of some other dying profession. This is the life I was given, and it feels like the end.
Bitcoin isn't just a currency to me, which is why I happily give my life to it to ensure it succeeds. A chance to start a real business from the future at the very start, is an amazing opportunity where really no others exist. My choices othewise are fix people's computers for a pittance, or do something else for a pittance, and that is all I have to look forward to until I died, until I found Bitcoin.
Bitcoin doesn't just have users, it also has believers like me, broken down and attacked at every angle into a maw of near-poverty, ready for a chance to take the power back that was stolen from us. I don't see my developing business as a hardware maker, I see it as a heavy arms manufacturer in the coming currency wars.
I am finished fixing the problem with the problem, doing my best work for a tiny scrap of fiat money into a machine that ultimately screws me, I hope the day comes I never have to see a Dollar bill in my real life wallet ever again. Bitcoin is my living protest against a destructive, terrible system that only breeds misery and corruption worldwide.
Find me anyone that feels that way toward a fiat currency right now, and I'll print out this post and literally eat it.
I don't know about anyone else, but it is boom or bust for me. At least it beats sitting around hoping the world's nightmare governmental system pulls it's head out of its collective ass, when you secretly know it isn't profitable for the powers in charge to allow you to have a living wage and a home.
There is a line in the sand between the world fiscal gestapo and the tech geeks. Remember when BitTorrent was taken down a few ye...oh right, that is still there too. Bitcoin isn't going anywhere.

Ok, it was pretty easy to ramp these Sapphire's up to around 320 Mhash/s from 250 stock, with a core clock of 1106 and a slight voltage bump with the TriXX utility, no problems so far. I can see the middle card getting fairly warm, Ill need to throw some more fans around them to go further probably. Grand total 960 Mhash/s

Well this is handy info, I am typing this post from my new mining rig 3x 7850's also. These are Sapphire HD 7850 OC's, they have an open air style dual-fan heatsink, we'll see how they handle the heat after some OCing. These things can be had for about $165 all over the place, seemed to be the best deal for the power they can deliver. |
