+1 for twobits.

I requested a trade of approximately 0.34 BTC for a $4.49 USD game on Steam. Twobits accepted my request and was prompt with the shipment (email) of the game.

It's a deal. Let me know where to send the BTC.

You'll need my email address: nacarlson [at_] gmail.com.

Still looking to buy this game. I'll pay 0.35 BTC

The software is still in development. However, in the mean time, feel free to use this simple utility that I wrote. Only MtRed is supported at the moment, but I'll add the other major pools this weekend. The source code is here, so if you want to submit a patch, I'd be more than happy to accept it.


The code to read GPU diagnostics like temperature is platform specific. You really need 4 code bases. One for Nvidia and one for AMD on both windows and linux. I've got the AMD portion written, but I still haven't tackled Nvidia yet.


The front end server is written in Node.js, but the data gathering portion uses Flask running on Tornado.

Yes, everything will be open source as soon as I release the pre-alpha.


GPU diagnostics will be read periodically by the mining software and sent to a remote server. I can't tell you where to start yet, because I haven't released the software.


The service will be proprietary. No free plans. A test utility will be available for download which will verify whether your system is supported or not. Like I said above, the software (most of it) will be open source. If someone wants to set up their own servers, they're free to do so.

+1 for frozen

I paid for a 1oz silver coin with BTC over the weekend, and frozen had it in the post the following Monday. He emailed me a photo of the postal receipt, and I received the parcel in a timely fashion.

To be honest, this doesn't surprise me at all. There are a couple issues:

1. You've got your core clock pushed to the max, assuming you're on stock voltage. I run my 5830's at 960Mhz.

2. You're running on a minimally suitable power supply. I would want at least 500W for a single 5830. My 4x5830 uses a 1200W PSU.

3. Excel 2010 uses DirectX for rendering. If you're miner is putting your GPU at a 99% load, I would expect the driver to crash if you attempt any sort of rendering.

edit: The miner runs on linux and windows. It's just a modified version of Phoenix miner.

It's browser based, and remotely hosted. So you'd sign up for an account, setup your miners, then point your browser to myServer.com/dashboard/, and you'd see something like this:

You have a good point there... 

Hi everyone,

I've started writing a web app which acts as a remote monitoring service for mining rigs. I'm trying to gauge the interest this community would have in such a product. Here are some of it's features:

* A web-based "dashboard" for viewing near real-time updates on important operating metrics like:
    * GPU temperature
    * Fan speed
    * Hash rate
    * Valid/Stale shares
    * Up time

* Alerts when a metric drops below a user-set threshold. For example, if a GPU temp goes over 90 degrees, or a hash rate drops below 200Mhash, an email, sms, or phone call would alert you within minutes/seconds.

At the moment, the server is written in python. A forked version of Phoenix miner sends data to the server through a simple http request like "server.com/log/?user=johndoe&gpu_id=xyz&hashrate=213.45&temp=42.0 etc.

The data from the request is saved in a MongoDB database. When a user wants to view their GPU's operating metrics in real-time, they simply point their browser to "server.com/dashboard/", and a nifty jquery-powered dashboard shows all pertinent data.

Would this type of service be of interest to anyone?

Edit: Also, if you would be interested in alpha testing such a service, either post here or shoot me a PM.

Hi,

I had the pleasure of transacting with Jakel-s. I sent him BTC, and he replied with 3 new Steam games in a timely fashion. Excellent communication during the entire process, to boot.

The newest block has zero transactions. Does anyone know the statistical likeliness of this?

I'll take one.

I will offer 8.5 BTC for for each 6850s, 19 BTC total. The

Thanks guys. I've updated the OP for clarity.

Hi,

I'm looking to acquire silver coins in exchange for Bitcoins.

I'm willing to entertain all offers, but I'm looking to make an even market trade of BTC for silver.

Thanks.

(Edited for clarity.

Hi guys,

I'm looking to acquire Portal 2, Terraria and Dwarfs!? on steam. BTC funds will be released with haste.

Please post if interested.

Thanks.

Transaction completed.

Hi,

Great program. I didn't have time to read this entire thread, but I thought I'd give some feedback.

My system:
========
Windows 7 64x
E6550 CPU
GA-p35-dsrl Mobo
Ati 5770

Tested and works
=============
Mem clock change (down to 300mhz)
Core clock change (up to 960mhz)

Tested and doesn't work
=============
Fan speed. Shows N.A.

Hi,

If you take a look at the English language entry for Bitcoin, on the left column you'll see many entries for various languages. However, I can't seem to find a Japanese (日本語) entry.

I would write one myself, but I'll be very busy for the foreseeable future. However, I'm willing to put 0.20 BC towards a bounty.

I don't know what kind of market penetration bitcoin has in Japan, but I think a well written wikipedia entry would help.

This question is impossible to answer definitively. The time it would take to brute force those passwords depends on the strength of the salt. As for the unsalted passwords, many of them were already publicly in rainbow tables.
