    BFL has said they have shipped all of the 5 g/hs orders through July. Not sure how many devices that is. From pictures it is way more than 35 though. They have gotten the boards in for the 25 and 50 g/hs machines and are suppose to start shipping those this week.

    Revolution

    Since it was an American colony, I suppose we can assume that elections and such were being held but who knows. Could be like an FDR thing, keep in power during times of crisis. I just assumed that they would turn the power back off to kill the nukes, don't think the writers have the balls to...

    I know I certainly picked up all his books based on his writing of the WOT series. Prior to that, I had not read him.

    Difficulty jumped 28% to 15605632.6813. Probably be another jump to around 20 million by the 14th of June. I would expect that those with GPU's will stop mining or switch to another digitial coin, like litecoin. BFL has started shipping but as slow as they seem to be, I don't expect my order to...

    I figured right now I'm earning small enough amounts that the IRS would never come after me. So I'm not reporting anything. I suppose if I was going to report it, I'd report it as capital gains.

    Nope, still waiting on BFL to get their shit together. Supposedly have chips coming this week, so maybe by the first week of June. But at this point I'm not holding my breath.

    I thought Sanderson did a decent job. Certainly made me want to read sanderson's other works. Would be worth the read just to finish out the series

    Grimm was up 54% in the ratings from its latest Friday showing, It got a 2.0 but was down from a 3.7 that the Voice got. Still that doubled that ready for love show that NBC pulled.

    Only thing I would add to Passenger's is that it is possible to hack bitcoins with a 51% attack. Meaning if you control 51% of the network's hashing power, it would be possible for you to double spend bitcoins. One of the strength's of bitcoins is that every single coin, every transaction, is...

    I have 3 of those ordered, hopefully I get mine soon but I didn't order until August 31st, so not too hopefully I'll get mine before mid-may. Sounds like the 25 g/h and 50 g/h won't be shipped until they get new pcb boards to deal with power issues they have. I originally thought that if the...

    If you switch, you'll be defaulted to pay-per last n-share, which is a 3% fee vs, pay-per share that is a 5% fee. With pplns you'll get a higher variance but a lower fee. For instance, 48 hours ago, I was making .07btc with pplns, the last 24 hours, I'm down to .05btc. So the variance within a...

    So far I have had no issue with connecting to btcguild. I think eleuthria has said he wants to shut down getwork to help with the 51% problem. If I ever get my asic from BFL, I don't know if I'll stick with his pool or not, just to help with the concerns of hitting 51% of the network. I do...

    I'm just going by what eleuthria has said about getwork and stratrum. He has said that the getwork servers get attacked more often than the stratrum servers. It looks like the eu-stratrum servers got hit yesterday with an attack. The great thing about eleuthria is that he honestly seems to care...

    Btcguild is decommissioning the getwork servers because they are so prone to ddos. Stratum seems more resistant to them.

    Lower transaction fees might make it more attractive to a business owner. Would probably make international transactions easier. That's about all I can think of but someone must think they can make money off of it.

    There are a lot of bit coin projects in the works that could mainstream it, a bit coin credit card, bitcoin ATM's, things like that. More online stores are starting to use them but currently the only real value bit coins have is money laundering, drug sales and a speculative currency. As...

    I've only ever used mtgox, so I don't have any experience with other exchanges. I've found it is pretty straight forward to use. I'd get a dwolla account that you can use for fund your account if you use mtgox but to fund your account could take a few days. With withdrawals I don't seem to have...

    The pool I mine at, btcguild was hit with a ddos this morning, owner thinks is it was being done in conjunction with market manipulation in order to slow the ability of people to withdraw coins to cash out during the crash.

    I guess that's the problem in such a small market as bitcoins, easy to manipulate the price. From what I read someone did that with namecoins a few weeks ago, dumped 50btc into it and then people ran to it and he sold out for a decent profit. I would hope mtgox would fix the issue passenger...
