(Unknown Title)

OK, the day finally comes.

maybe the world's first public FPGA mining cluster system? or maybe the largest now?

6X Icarus mining borad (12X SX6SLX150) @ 360M/board. 2.16GH/s -peak/total.

power consuming: 115W (MAX) on the wall.

congrats, finally done. $300 each?

far too little in my eyes, even the two LX150 are 300$. a six-layer pcb isn't cheap either, so i would add another 200$

I didn't keep track, why is Bitstamp higher than Finex now? Has been the other way around for the last months.

meanwhile the number of unconfirmed transactions is rising with the same speed and has reached 80k

I am not really up to date on the topic, but is that a big issue? The last couple transactions I sent were all confirmed within the next block. My fee was not very high.

Can someone explain this "this is gentleman" thing? I know it's a typo by some guy on reddit, but what was it that he wanted so say?

How do you download off the pirate bay? I only seem to be able to get .exe files which I'm not seriously gonna try and open.

You can just stream it here:

http://vodly.to/watch-2752062-The-Rise-and-Rise-of-Bitcoin

yeah that page is blocked in North Korea where I live, sorry I meant the UK.

You need a torrent client. utorrent was the recommended one for windows last time I messed with that side of things.

I have a torrent client, but the file I download shouldn't be a .exe should it? There's like 9 download buttons all with different URLs.

If you use an adblocker on the site you will only see the magnet symbol, no other "download" buttons with .exe files.

I just notified the same problem, but I didn't update or change the system in any way.
I run Armory 0.92.1 on Ubuntu 13.10.

See my posts above, it doesn't work in Chrome  Tongue
But fun aside, once you got the plugin for your browser installed, it works quite well. I don't have it set up for a long time, but setting up the device is easy and the process is very well described. I've done a few transactions already and everything worked flawlessly.

The source code is available (here) and so far no vulnerabilities have been reported AFAIK. The device uses BIP32 so hopefully as time passes more and more wallets will support the TREZOR.

Was anyone successful in getting the Trezor to run with Google Chrome 37 on Ubuntu 13.10? I've installed the plugin on my first visit on mytrezor.com (64bit .deb), but always get the message to install the plugin.
It seems to work in Firefox, but it takes ages to come up with the user interface, it shows a white page for three minutes at least.

Any help is very much appreciated!

EDIT: Also runs in Chromium 34. Firefox and Chromium show the plugin when opening about:plugins, Google Chrome doesn't...

Chrome does not support NPAPI plugins. This will be resolved with Trezor bridge, when it is released. Trezor plugin does not work in Chrome.

Oh ok, would be great to see this somewhere on mytrezor.com...
Guess I'll have to stick with Chromium then.

Thanks for the fast reply klokan!

Keep in mind that the article is now 1.5 years old, a lot of things have changed. We have much more convenient ways to spend and manage our bitcoins than we had a year ago.

BTW: Did he end up losing his dr. title or not?

Yes, but it was his own decision, no court order.

I was wrong, his university reverted his title, so not his decision.

this guy was on his way to become merkels successor as chancelor in germany. he was at the top, the media loved him, the masses cheered, he was the immaculate, the most popular politician by far, he had it all

until mr perfect blew it all.

W.T.F.  Shocked

As someone who had this guy on TV nonstop for 3 weeks    3 years ago I am stunned. Why would you want him smiling from your Website???

Also can't they call him by his full name? Tongue

How come the market hasn't crashed?  I thought the winner was going to instantly dump the coins?   Roll Eyes

Yeah LOL!!! He would dump the coins because he needed the money!!!  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

1. Buy above market price
2. Sell below
3. Remove fake resistance
4. Profit!

Also you can be pretty sure you won't get screwed by some shady exchange. I wouldn't feel too good sending $2m to a foreign bank account. But I can't how much people are willing to pay for that...

Dear god!

I'm scared. I'm really scared.

Are you gonna sell your coins?


No. No way. Let's just hope Ghash.IO stops doing this and possibly returns to 49%.

Guys, 50% is not a magical number. A pool at 49% is almost as dangerous as a pool at 51%.

The probability of a pool solving another 5 blocks in a row after solving the first one is 2.8% at 49% of total hashrate and 3.45% at 51% of total hashrate. Sure there is a difference, but you can't say a pool at 49% isn't something to worry about.
