Most secure way: Wipe the private key (and all of its copies) and then commit suicide. However, I'd not recommend that.

You could instead consider so stash a cold storage in some creative way. Like a weather baloon in orbit around the earth, with an expected drop-off in some future time/location.

Another way is to encrypt it with a weak cipher expected to be obsolete within some future time due to Moores Law, but that's taking risks...

So the PSU was a problem after all?

Next thing: Cooling. You squeeze three factory overclocked high-end GPUs tight to each other. They will heat and/or choke each other. Either go for excessive cooling (highly optimized airflow or water blocks) or use extenders. Which you choose depends on the chassis options or financial situation.

Best of luck!

Cyprus?

The mBTC linked to the caches are in a central wallet, right? How about decentralizing it by generating private keys to QR-codes (just like Caussius coins). That would leverage the nature of bitcoin more transparently.

This sounds like fun

Ah ok. I'm trying to figure out if you have successfully run all 3 GPUs in 100% before the crashing? 850W sounds a little weak for 3 Turbo (factory overclocked) GPUs... Most PSUs usually don't perform with stability near their max load. Trying to eliminate the usual caveats here...

It might sound simple but the cooling may be inadequate. Sapphire cards tend to be cheap and cheap cards tend to go hot in extreme scenarios (like running three of them besides each other). I recommend some extra chassi fans directed towards the GPU cards. Have you considered this?

Best luck!

I may have some ideas that could address this problem. I'll see if these ideas grow and if resources emerge. I'll stick around in this thread meanwhile.

But seriously, I admire the initiative. But fiat tends to make things difficult since electronic payment is not designed to be as decentralized as bitcoin...

Anyhow, distributed systems (preferably homogenous aka peer-to-peer) and security is quite my call. Working on a MSc degree in it too. Resources are exquisite thou.

This exists. It's called cash

Spontaneous thought: I'd at least go for both cards 7950.

I agree on the decentralization. It's exactly what Bitcoin emphasizes!

But remember: We're not dependent upon MTGox! BTC can be exchanged by whatever means. Cash for instance.

For me, Bitcoin is more of a liberation of the Internet community than a stock of potential investment (hoarding). I agree with you!

I did read your post. Skipped many of the trolling comments thou.

The wild conspiracy theories references aside, you're basically speculating the following: Why have financial authorities/institutions/banks not blacklisted the exchange markets (like MTGox)? Just like PayPal are somewhat famous of doing, and so on?

It's an interesting take. Perhaps they do not yet fight the Bitcoin ecosystem. Yet. We will most likely see such behavior soon.

The point being with Bitcoin thou: Shutting down MTGox (or any exchange markets) will not shut down Bitcoin. It may sever some of its use and spread but Bitcoin as a system is designed to be independent of such attacks.

As a contradict, you speculate that Bitcoin may be just a big troll by some secret global government to confuse us in their power struggle? While I don't believe so myself, only time will tell...

Artikeln känns exremt vinklad i allt från ordval till vilka dem citerat (SEB, Skatteverket, etc). Tråkigt. Men är inte förvånad.

I live in Stockholm

I find myself in a similar situation. I'm quite anxious to get involved with the whole concept of cryptocurrencies, mainly BTC+LTC.

Ultimately, I'd want to mine BTC but I kind of feel I missed that train. This is a poor attitude. Instead of grieve about missed opportunities, I try to focus forward. While LTC is not BTC, it may be a fun and educating introduction to the whole concept. So I might go for LTC at first and then involve in BTC (mining) as my investment strength arise. As you also realize, to have a nutritious BTC mining today one need to spend quite some fiat got get there.

TL;DR: Begin with LTC. Gain knowledge. Advance to BTC. Gain profit.

I'm a MSc student with background in Software Engineering and Cyber Security. Fancy words aside, I'm somewhat a cyberpunk (according to third parties) and occasional party animal. Also geeky about music/sound, been a professional DJ for a few years (mostly a hobby nowdays) and tend to have way to many projects/ambitions going on.

I've been lurking this forum for some time through the twitter feed bot and decided to give my involvement a try. Don't know if anyone actually reads this humongous thread, but this is my reply.
