    It only jumped from 19m to 21m, I think a lot of GPU mining is switching off

    I haven't used windows 8 extensively but I cringe thinking how it would work in a business environment.

    So I finally got my jalapeno's. There was a shipping snafu, forgot to put the suite number on, so it was a week late in getting to me. Happily hashing away at 22g/hs now. Been almost 24 hours and no issues at all.

    These two things do not add up As Alkorin said, I don't expect this C&D to go anywhere. It sounds like those issuing it, really have no idea of what the bitcoin foundation actually does.

    I set my memclock down to 600 for all my cards. I tried to go lower but it made them unstable but then I was also messing with the overclocking the gpu and changing the voltage.

    I'd at least try to RMA it. Got nothing to lose really. Thankfully I haven't had anything like that happen to one of my cards. Do you underclock the ram when mining?

    That sucks about those cards. I'd try for the warranty replacement, you never know. You might get lucky. I just got an email from BFL, that they shipped. BFL is in Kansas City, I'm in Saint Louis, so maybe tomorrow but by Wednesday for sure.

    Buying a car?

    I just bought a 2013 Kia Optima EX model over the weekend. So far I'm very happy with it. I had a V6 and it is taking a while to get used to the 4 cylinder.

    How did it blow up? Video card go or power supply? Still haven't shipped my 5 GH/s units, but I know they are in production because the order disappears from your account when they send it to production. So hopefully I have them by Wednesday or Thursday

    My order should ship today or tomorrow. I have an 8/30 order. I did upgrade my 5's to 7's for $100 each.

    Yeah at least I have 3 coming that will help recoup the cost. Still hoping to get enough to get a few 50 GH/s machines

    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.

    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...

    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.

    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...
