October 13th - Happy Weekend!Progress:- New Web host has been established
- New web designer has been chosen and is already working hard on a great new design
- The tentative web site and news release date is Friday October 19th!
- The engineers and layout guys are working hard on the board & things are moving forward - been bugging them about getting me some graphic renders for the web site launch - keep your fingers crossed!
please note until the new website is launched we will continue to take orders on our current site : http://www.BTCFPGA.comContest:- The week one ModMiner Quad Giveaway winner was Litebit he posted a thread about it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=117905
- The week two ModMiner Quad Giveaway will end tomorrow night - the winner picking block will be the last block that is mined before 11:00:00 PM EST on 10/14/2012
- We will immediately begin accepting contestants for week three after the winner is chosen.
I will be in and out of the office this weekend as usual - as far as I know I am caught up on emails and customer service (if your waiting on an email response from me and have not received it, it got buried too deep or its in spam folder or some other place I did not see it so please resend it now). If you need customer service please email me and do not PM me on the forum. It's just a real pain in the ass to try and answer a million questions over PM - PM's are like my absolute last priority so if you want an answer quick please just send email me through the web site. or of course you can always give me a call at 315 514 0269 - but make sure you leave a message. I don't return calls to people who don't leave a message. Also to the person who keeps trying to call me from a 661 area code (I think its from skype) every time you call me, I try to answer the phone but then it tells me you've hung up. I think my google voice line is not playing nice with your skype, I would try and call me from a regular line. Have a good weekend! Tom

I asked this awhile back but its buried by now...
Any update on the upgrade program for existing MMQ owners? Or will that be included with the news release on the new website?

What computer uses 200W at idle? Mine uses 85W, and it's not a small or cheap system. Most laptops will be between 20-30W, and my old netbook used to use 12W.

You did not say idle, but since we're talking about mining with USB devices (and nothing else), the CPU will pretty much be idle the entire time. My point is just that while DD-WRT is totally kickass, the power savings aren't really all that much.

That article reminded me of the town built in Atlas Shrugged. Same principles
Thinking of it, anyone on the supply side of bitcoin should have to read Atlas Shrugged
Nice article Cable

read it with a critical eye, there are some serious holes in Ayn Rand's philosophy (and apparently her head) Fun fantasy world, but it does not match reality. I also recommend "The Probability Broach" by L. Neil Smith: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Probability_Broach(again, it's a nice fantasy world, but the points being made are more subtle than the overt story)

If the computer is off while your not using it, the small savings add up. what's wrong with a rpi ? ~$35 and max of 5 watts then again I'm not sure how many ASICs it would be able to control but it is fairly powerful for the size/price/wattage
