old news. knew about it about 3 -4 yrs ago.
Why would anyone wants to hold US$ when the fed just prints money anytime it feels like it?
Every time more money got printed, the reserve holders' value shrink.

I am offering 1GHash/s mining for $1200 for 3 months.
3 months is the minimum, as I will need to rent some place to house the rigs. The shortest rental is 6 months, but I will take the risk if no one wants to buy my service after the 3 months.
Would need to get at least 4 people to get this started.
Please don't criticize my price based on current BTC price, or future difficulty, as those cannot be predicted with accuracy.
If you are going to make some bad comments, think if you will be willing to do $400/month/Ghash. If yes, I might be interested in buying your contract.
I do welcome comments though.
The reason for the 3 month contract is so that you and I will each take part in the risk, either due to market condition or difficulty. Furthermore, not everyone cares only about making profit.
BTC will be paid out every few days directly to your wallet, so it will appear as if there is no down time.
Calculation will be based on this site http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator.php

I think $400 per month is reasonable, taking into account PC electric cost, PC cost, rent, cooling cost, babysit the machines, potential downtime due to storm or 120F hot weather.
Note that I have enough BTC now even if the machines blow up, I will still be able to pay out everyday.
I can accept more contracts than what I currently have, but if machine do blow up, and I had to stop the BTC payments, I will also refund your $ based on how many days you have left in your contract.

As an added bonus for the world community, I will use Core i7 as my main CPU on all the machines, which will be running Folding@Home to benefit humanity.
All of my current machines run mining, F@H, and BOINC projects.

My feedback can be checked at www.heatware.com. Search for chungenhung.
Will be back with more details.
Again, comments are welcome.

Did OP removed the price?

that doesn't surprise me. in fact, i think the whole site hack is scam.

it seems like the hashing power of the entire network is going down.
Yesterday it was 11THash, now down to 10.4Thash

I think there will be other virtual currency based on BTC concept.
Namecoin came up, and it is basically BTC, with a little twist.
What's to stop another currency to pop up?
Just some thoughts

@darkpandora
way to go, keeping ur card really cool!

I guess mt gox never learn from their mistake.
Now, that shows a lot for a would be hacker. The entire structure, and the exact line of code.
Mt. Gox is just waiting for another hack to happen.
I would suggest everyone to move all their BTC away from Mt. Gox.

XP support at least 4GPUs
7 supports at least 8GPUs, but only 4 can run OpenCL.

With the new 10.6 drivers, the limit on Windows is now 8 OpenCL

you are late, if you have to ask that question, the answer is to NOT BUY.
Price is not about $16, and difficulty is shooting thru the roof.
I stopped buying hardware about 2 weeks ago.

flash it and u r guaranteed to brick your card.

you are mixing PCI and PCI-E, they are NOT the same thing.
There is no such thing as a 6990 plugging into a PCI slot, unless you are using a PCI to PCI-E adapter, if those even exist.

i need usd trades

posted on the website, you will see it when you try to do an instant trade.

Mt. Gox is down, and TradeHill states "Instant Buy has been temporarily disabled for a few days."
So where do you guys trade at? Especially US users.

bump, price lowered.

And now it says "The password for this account is invalid, or this account is not currently under claim process."
With no further instruction.
Are they forcing us to file case in small claims courts?
I really smell a huge lawsuit going their way.

Also, I've submitted a few support requests PRIOR to the attack, and NONE ever got a reply back.
So I guess I might be forced to file a suit

what's even worse, i put in a new password, and it says it is not secure enough.
It contains number, lower case letter, upper case letter, symbol, special character.
Are they asking for arabic characters combined with korean and russian characters??

or how much bitcoin.org could make doing this, lol
