RUM AND CARROTS: A PIRATE LIFE FOR ME

Does anyone know if it's possible to buy an adaptor cable which plugs into a motherboard's PCIe x16 slot, which then has 16 PCIe x1 slots attached to it, one PCIe lane each? I was wondering if it might work out cheaper if in addition to my expensive gas boiler I was to heat my house by Litecoin mining. Almost all the power used by the GPUs is lost as heat, but in winter heat is something I want and something I would have to pay for anyway. This would in effect be a noisy and bulky fan heater which generated both heat and money, the heat would make up for the fact that LTC mining uses a bit more electricity than the value of the LTC it mines.
Every calorie of heat the mining machine blows out is a calorie my boiler doesn't have to produce. Obviously there's the component costs too, those would have to be second hand, such as old HD5870s which work fairly well but aren't very expensive any more.
Maybe I could find a way to create such a cable if they're not commercially available
I think you mistakenly thought this was a thread about mining hardware, but I can't figure it out how did you get that impression since NOTHING on the title says hardware, mining, PCI, video cards, etc... anyways, go find the right thread for your question and let the boys talk about the things that matter on this thread. Nice attitude, hey? Well you feel free to talk about the walls and all the trading that's happening then, not that there are any to discuss. Everyone else has been off topic too for this reason too, so why single out what I wrote, hey? Honestly though I really can't be bothered to argue about this with you, maybe this thread should just be closed down until someone puts up an ask/bid wall to keep you happy as this is officially a single topic thread. (not a thread that you created though and you're not its moderator) To be fair, what you were asking is totally off topic. It probably got singled out because you're talking about Litecoin and mining, which people in this thread generally particularly aren't fond of talking about. In other news- I'm hoping this is a slow week.

And also to be fair to Deathcode, I should say that I've just had to get up to get my daughter ready for school after only about an hour's sleep, so I'm was just being grumpy anyway, I apologise for that. What I need is a rally to $1000 to cheer me up, or at least another coffee or a bit more sleep. Usually I try to be cheerful but my sense of humour doesn't seem to be online yet, I'll go and put the kettle on...

Observation: Bitstamp currently has positive money flow while Gox has negative money flow. Interesting because the StochRSI now indicates they are both oversold. It seems Bitstamp is Bullish and Gox is Bearish. Bitstamps "positive money" flow is larger than Gox's "negative money" flow; Seems like a battle between exchanges and looks like Gox USD volume is about even with Bitstamp atm, so Bitstamp may take the bullish lead. It will be interesting to see which way we go. Could this be a bear trap? Bitstamp:Mt.Gox:

"This problem will persist until no more than 288 blocks after 256818, unless another trigger transaction is added to the blockchain (which may well happen)." So.....its is not a fork, and it should be resolved within about 24 hours, the Bitcoin-Qt is not able to be re-opened once you close it and they are patching it. Correct?

The triangle may be ending by going up. We hovered around 125 support pretty much all weekend, a number of dips into 124, but generally all around 125. Lets see how this unfolds.

Going up...
Quite the understatement, sir. It's only gone up 10 dollars in one hour.
