Will the Burnin Mining rigs plug and play with MinePeon and the stock CG Miner or do we need a special version?

Yes, plug & play. There is additional option (voltage regulation) not yet supported by stock CG Miner, but you probably won't need to touch it at all.

Also, is it better to place orders sooner rather than later to reserve the board or does it not work like that? (I'm in SebastianJu's Batch 6 order, very helpful guy btw.)

You have the answer to this question in the OP.

Thanks for the info Itod. As Sebastian said, many of us (including me), want to overclock the units. With chip shipments being behind and the hash rate /difficulty rising so much, the best chance to break even with smaller units is by overclocking (unless you got your hands on a 400Gh unit). Has anyone heard when voltage regulation will be available in CG miner (or rather is it already but not in the stock MinePeon version? Ahhh, thanks for the answer Burnin).

Regarding my last question - I meant it in more a gray area sort of way. I read the OP and what I thought was that it doesn't matter when you order, it is when the chips arrive. But what I really is, is there a danger of waiting too long (and then maybe getting your chips) but then the boards are sold out, where as if I ordered a board now, it would be held for me? Perhaps I'm making it more complicated than it is. My first buy so excuse my ignorance. ;-)

Thanks again,

in preparation for the arrival of my bitburners, what would be the best OS for running a few of them using a RaspberryPi?

http://www.kano-kun.net/?p=87

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137934.0

I currently work with MinePeon, second link, and (sorry) can't recommend it for 24/7 unmonitored usage.
It might be fixed yet, but my config seems to be killed sometimes, the only way to fix the latest crash was
to stop the cgminer service and run it by hand with the config file on chmod 555. this prevents nightly restarts.

after the latest crash, even rewriting the config, cgminer refused to start all the way.
now it's running 24/7 without restart.

MinePeon was the easiest way for me to get used to RaspPi and mining with it, but I will reconfig to pure Raspbian soon I guess.
It's a very nice piece of software but I don't trust it anymore after these downtimes.


I've been running MinePeon for a month and a half now (using the default CG Miner) and it has mostly been great. (Just running one errupter)
The ONLY problem I had was when I was running the 2.2 version on an SD card rated at 4 (2 days of sporadic, maybe 2, freezes). When I reburned the image on a 10 speed card it has been up solid. Also was up solid on a 10 card before the upgrade. (But since it took like 30-45 minutes to burn the image I bought another card to swap things out for upgrades. The new version will support upgrades though!)

Will the Burnin Mining rigs plug and play with MinePeon and the stock CG Miner or do we need a special version?

Also, is it better to place orders sooner rather than later to reserve the board or does it not work like that? (I'm in SebastianJu's Batch 6 order, very helpful guy btw.)

People have been asking me for well over 1 million worth of BTC over the last 2 weeks and that never happens. Some people are paying 10% over gox.

You mean people are asking you to sell BTC for bank T/T on PM here? 1 Mill$ in the last two weeks?
Why would anybody buy OTC so to not influence the price and then offer a spread which makes it lucrative to just sell to him and buy at an exchange at the same time?

Crazy indeed.

Many people have been asking for a lot of coin. Not all offered to pay over gox rate but one guy did at 3000 coins.

I did not ask why but there is demand otc.

Also not one person tried to sell to me.

That is extremely interesting. It goes along with what we are seeing in the BTC market.

Who brought BTC from $65 to the current level? Large traders primarily. There are obviously some big pocketed people out there that see BTC as something.
You know what they say, follow the money...

Yeah I don't know but either one really big guy, or a lot of smaller big guys are fighting for that OTC BTC.  Just about everyone I have ever worked with contacted me recently. This movement up did not shock me at all.

Do you think wealthy people are just seeing it as a store of wealth in light of the global economic situation? (And of course you could move the money effortlessly.)

It is interesting, BTC as a store of wealth, considering the small "float" has tremendous potential. But we can'T forget bitcoin as an online payment method.

I get the feeling we are still at the Mosaic Browser stage (analogy to the early days of the internet) and not even at Netscape, but getting much closer.

And indeed it's true that only few Bitcoins that have left the visible order book on MtGox have hit Bitstamp so far.

Indeed. Tens of k's of BTC leaving Gox, but just very few hitting Bitstamp, that's interesting.

Why buy for more on Gox then considering no really selling on other exchanges?

Bitcoin´s daily horoscope for Saturday July 27th, 2013

Life now is about transformation, and moving on to new pastures. Maybe for a while you will feel stuck and blocked - a little like pushing against a mountain. Either someone is getting in your way, or trying to control you. But you can overcome the challenge and end up achieving a substantial amount. You just have to try extra hard. You have a strong instinct for fairness and justice at the moment and are keen to fight to protect those who are disadvantaged.

FTFY

Life now is about transformation, and moving on to new pastures.

Life is now about conforming, and moving on to pastures deemed greener by a person with more money or power or both.

Maybe for a while you will feel stuck and blocked - a little like pushing against a mountain.

But you can conform to the standards set by those with greater finance or power than you,  achieving a substantial amount, by their standards.

Bitcoin´s daily horoscope for Saturday July 27th, 2013
You just have to try extra hard. You have a strong instinct for fairness and justice and are keen to fight to protect those who are disadvantaged.

You just have to try extra hard, to be seen as a worthy individual by those with power and money - otherwise you are just another PWN.

If you do this then you prove that you have a strong instinct for fairness and justice and are keen to fight to protect those who are

disadvantaged, therefore you will cost a lot more to force into dismissing your principles because you actually have some to begin with.


Sad if you think you don't have choice and will :/

I  feel we have free choice and will, but only within reason. When you throw tradition, culture, language, religion, family, work, friends, etc. into things, we are quite predictable and our free will is not exactly free the way we would like to think it is. That said, will can go a long long way into molding our lives.

I sort of get a feeling like this:
Imagine an elastic strip that is taught. The beginning is birth and the end is death. In a sense, you have a life path, not completely fixed though. But if you get to far out of line from your life path,
you will be snapped back to where you should go. This might be: chance meetings, accidents, illness, etc. We sort of have a goal but perhaps it moves some. Anyway, not my belief, just a thought...

Not sure how important it is, but the Sun in BTC's chart was important during the last run up (in Aries).

Well, all that darkness in the 12th house that I had been harping on just lightened up a little (still got Mercury, Mars and Jupiter there), the sun moved into the 1st house yesterday (within a few hours of the move up)...

That's a lot of blah blah to explain you have absolutely no proof whatsoever.
Who would've guessed.
And we also both know why there is no proof.
The difference i don't live in denial because i WANT to believe.
Sad to live your life this way. Really, i feel sorry for you.

Debating stuff is kind of fun and mind opening. But can you please stop the personal attacks and insults.
It really makes wanting to talk with you difficult.

Whether or not you agree with what others say, it is no reason to degrade and belittle others opinions.
I offered some help to you, just my perspective and you attack it non stop.

Regarding the price of 100-300 bucks, I meant to get a reputable astrologer. Sometimes more $$ isn't better, that is why you should
get a recommendation and not just focus on price (low or high).

Good luck to you, sincerely,
IAS

What is a reputable astrolger? Can you explain that to me?

Well, since you don't "believe" in astrology, I'd recommend you speak to someone who does. Ask that person if they know of any good or great astrologers.
To try to find one on your own is really hit or miss. Yes, there are some fakes out there, or rather some poor astrologers and word of mouth I would trust more than an ad.


Does that mean you can't tell me what a reputable astrologer is? Well, isn't that odd. You recommend me to see one but you can't tell me what makes one reputable.

I told you it is personal experience and Vokain went further.

To be honest now, I wouldn't refer any of the great astrologers (3) that I have worked with to you. If you show me no respect, I can't imagine you showing respect to them.
Since you can't take help when offered and continue with insults, my work here is finished.

Again, good luck to you and really all the best.

Ahhh, then have some fun and listen to Terrence McKenna. A bard with words and was quite knowledgable but also a GREAT storyteller.

I've made this report for myself:
Code:
http://www.chaosastrology.net/freeastrologyreports.cfm

Trying to analyze it, you could estimate the probability of the report.
For example: "emotionally reactive" and "emotionally cold" can be seen as two options. One correct, one incorrect - 50/50 chance. This could be scientifically tested.

Also, there are statements that are always true:
"Group or community work with high aims (great altruism) would be ideal for you" - I believe that this statement should be true for 90% of people.
"Physical outlets like athletics and exercise are important and should be made lifelong activities." - Who wouldn't agree with this statement?

I've been reading my report for 5 minutes.
50/50 statements are about 1/2 times correct. Wink [Just eyeballing, I didn't calculate the numbers.]
I'm not impressed.

Go to a respected and experienced astrologer and leave the baggage behind. Don't use a free online report, for starters.
To spend 100-300 bucks to test your theory on something we are saying can be life changing, is a very very small price to pay.

Getting a personal reading is not how a scientist investigates something. For Christ's sake.

Also, these buys are interesting. It'd be really nice if the withdrawal issue wasn't here to cloud things up

If one is going to criticize something, one should at least experience it (within reason of course).
To have an astrology reading is no big deal, doesn't require blood, etc. I only had one cause it was a friend of a friend and I was really curious. I was an ex engineering student, working IT at the time, super cerebral mind and it just blew me out of the water so I investigated it further. It actually helped me to become more flexible as a human being. It didn't go along with what science had taught me, just like when I first tried (one time experimentation of course) cannabis and realized quite quickly "The government lied to me!" I still appreciate how I was able to hear Hendrix for the first time. ehehehhe
Of my students, only half were open to it. They didn't understand how I told them what I did, so it did break a bit of their paradigm. Direct experience... never discount it. Too much living from what the mind says is possible, seems a bit dry to me, but to each his own.

Regarding the buys, I'm not sure. The buys were HUGE but it doesn't mean it was to move money. It is certainly interesting and I will more than likely wait for a real break and hold above 100 before entering.

Of course NOT ONE PERSON EVER has proven it to be working but that obviously won't stop them. Just a minor detail. It's so sad.

Emotion is not concerned with truth, just with being correct.

Try it, you'll like it. LOL

Not one study has proven love, but I see it all around me...
Nothing will stop it!

Thanks, i just threw up in my mouth a little.
People with these kind of arguments should be put on some island far, far away.

Just for clarifications sake, you have never had a professional reading? So, you are going by what your brain and science tell you is possible and discounting experience? Direct experience should never be overlooked.

Regarding your island, I think the Nazi's were actually working on that as well. And the British had Australia.

Not one study has proven love, but I see it all around me...

Ehh... plenty of studies actually.
We pretty much know every chemicals release it induces in the brain and their effects.

This is the scientific dilemma though. If you measure a chemical when you experience love (actually, your definition of it), is that love we are measuring? Is love physical, sexual, etc?
When they did Near Death Experience studies they found DMT was being released at that time. So, the light people saw was just induced by a chemical? Yeah, correlation = effect. Chicken or egg? eheheheh I doubt it is that simple. Or, did the chemical open something, like a key opens the door. After all we are bio-chemical beings, but don't forget a whole lot more. Not to jump to another topic, but it is closely related. The studies over the last few years they have done with DMT (and psychedelics also) have scared the shit out of some scientists.

This is beyond science at this point in time and probably for a whole lot longer.

Pleasant thing to wake up to. Back to sleep. Nice post IAS  Smiley
The mooooost important thing I've learned since doing this bitcoin a year and a half ago is learning to think for myself Smiley

By the way, after stumbling into astrology with yours and Otoh's threads, I looked into that Somner guy and watched a podcast of his with an A.T. Mann. For some reason I couldn't resist trying out a consultation at least once, and I chose a Life Time Reading from A.T. Mann and he summed up my life impeccably well. His theory is that we live life in a logarithmic scale and be pinpoints how I was conceived (ie how my parents felt, who chose what (I was unexpected and my parents weren't close!!!), how I grew up (very feminine household ie three sisters), etc with 100% accuracy. Things that you cannot find from Facebook etc.  I was truly astounded.  My future looks very interesting and I am quite happy I did it.

By the way Otoh did say the stars say second half of this month should be great, and not simply in regards to bitcoin

I didn't even realize AT Mann was alive as I assumed he was from a long while ago but just checked and he is only 69. That is amazing if you got a reading from him.
We should chip in and have him look at Bitcoin using Gann and Astrology? Was he expensive?

When you get a reading from an astrologer that is good/great, it can absolutely shock you. The trick is applying it to something like BTC, where the location is not even 100% knows...
http://atmann.net/aread.htm#aread
Yeah dude, I was still skeptical before. Not anymore, and that's saying a lot. I was a born skeptic, science background etc. But, as any good scientist, my curiosity was piqued and I investigated it some more Smiley I paid $200 for life time astro reading since he was willing to give me a student discount, normally $350. This is simply my anecdotal evidence, and seeing as it confirmed that there's something peculiar about the study of astrology, it warrants even more of my consideration now.

Btw, I sent in some coin to your Sommer reading because I appreciated it. I wouldn't mind seeing what Tad has to say about BTC as well, although, do you think it will be a bit redundant?

The price was right. Great astrologers charge lots of money.

Did you send my something a few days ago? I hadn't opened my wallet and saw someone sent something, or I had deposited something as "astrology reading" but I don't remember. You were the only donation and I appreciate it, it was generous. You paid like almost half of my part and Otoh put in a good amount as well.


To those skeptical, just give it a try, but don't do a reading with a no name unless someone can vouch for them.
Don't try to analyze it scientifically, because it is beyond science. Shroomskit - Yes, astrologers are aware the zodiac has fully shifted by a sign and yet it works. I have freaked out too many students of mine, both those I knew and those I knew nothing about. Most of them are IT experts, so not exactly an astrologers friend...   And for the really skeptical, I would go places that they don't want to go, normally. Sun sign astrology (newspapers) is mostly bullshit and too generalized, but breaking down someones chart by many planets, signs, houses, their relationships, etc. is a story. An amazing story that your mind will never let you experience, for it is impossible to your mind. And ps - Love is more than chemicals, is not a word... ;-)
