Finished episode 58, it ended up taking much longer than I expected to transcribe

FYI: some kind soul has donated a RPi to me! It should be arriving soon, and I will be figuring out how to compile on it. I hope to make offline-bundle releases for it, eventually.
Any update on an offline-bundle for the RPi?
I've added a watch on this thread in the hope there will be one available, I don't have the technical know-how to build this from scratch but I'd really like to try out armory.
Just subscribed to Lets Talk Bitcoin and E&E Bitcoin cast on iTunes, thanks to the suggestions in this thread 
So far I'm most of the way through one episode of Lets Talk Bitcoin and the production quality is quite impressive.

Re: BFL ASIC Firmware & Hardware, Understanding & Optimization
Airflow / Cooling:
A much better solution are improved fan-plates. I've made new ones, which are much more efficient and the fans are more silent. A friend of me has got a CAD drawing from me, and I expect tomorrow the first new fan-plates, made on a CNC machine. With this plates, you still have a stable box, are protected from touch the running fans and you have optimal air-flow inside and outside of this box/tube. It will help to keep the whole unit more quite and cool, which will be especially necessary by the next tuning steps.
Because of the noise users start to change fans. The default ones are really noisy, but also powerful ones. I can only warn everyone to replace the fans by other ones, if you don't really know what you are doing! The default fans have a high static pressure and airflow rate. I will look for acceptable, fan replacements which are not so noisy in the next days and will let you know.
Please post some pics once you get the new CNC produced plates installed!
I'm curious what the cost of the new plates was? I'm sure others would be interested in getting some if they dramatically reduce the noise, my little single sounds like a hair dryer going non-stop. Maybe something for a kickstarter to produce a batch ...
Looking forward to updates on any fan changes as well, anything to reduce the noise of these units.

Upgraded this to a Little Single.
Order # should remain the same, waiting on confirmation.
I'm unable to connect using any of the 3 servers available, each time it tries for awhile then shows "Not connected".
I'm using electrum 1.01-e (flatfly compact build) and this is the first time I've tried loading the program in about 2 weeks.
There aren't many settings I can change beyond switching servers so I'm kinda at a loss as to what to try next

I wonder if my place is moving closer and its in my interest to stay or if I am definately later by date not by product.
Pre-orders upgraded from a Jalapeno to Little Single don't change order #'s or lose their existing place in line. You're place should be unchanged regardless of whether you choose to upgrade or not.
Re: Electrum - Bitcoin client for the common users (friendly and instant)
I am trying to setup electrum 1.01-e (windows flatfly compact build) on Win7 64bit.
Is it possible to generate a private key on brainwallet.org using a pass phrase and then using it in electrum instead of taking the default (12 random words) key?
I tried generating a key on brainwallet that contained letters/numbers/symbols and then chose restore when launching electrum.
I entered the same pass-phrase in the "Seed or mnemonic" field, left the gap limit to the default 5, clicked OK and got the error "I cannot decode this" then the client aborts. When I relaunch it, there is no prompt to create or restore a wallet.
Also is there a way to access the command line or help files from the windows GUI?
Sorry about the newb questions, I'm sure I'm missing something obvious

I wouldn't invest in any GPU mining hardware unless they can pay themselves off in about 3 months.
Even if they are delayed, ASICs are coming. The cheapest is the BFL Jalapeno which should provide approx 3.5 GH/s on a fraction of the electricity a GPU uses. Combine that with the reward-halving that will occur in December and I don't see how you can pay off new GPU hardware as difficulty skyrockets, unless you have access to free electricity.
I'm in pretty much the same boat having just gotten interested in bitcoins. For now I pre-ordered a Jalapeno and decided to just mine what I can using my gaming rig (~280 MH/s) until ASICs are released and more info is available.

I'm mining casually using my existing ATI 7770 and playing around with different mining software to learn more for now.
Planning to get more heavily involving in both mining and btc trading once the ASIC hardware comes out (Jalapeno SC pre-ordered!)

I found this site after reading about the pirate ponzi scheme going busto on a poker forum.
That said, bitcoin's are an intriguing concept, electricity is cheap here in Quebec and my gaming rig isn't getting much use so I'm looking to learn more.
Currently mining with an ATI 7770 getting about 185 Mhps and reading a ton of threads here.
