I just wanted to say that this all seems like a very sensible solution. There is very little that can make up for the difficulty increase over time, but 100% of the hashrate for the same duration of the delay will show that BAS is willing to suffer with their customers and provides some assurance that BAS will do whatever they can to limit further delays.

I cannot understand why anyone still uses GOX.

It is not the stupidity of voters that gets bad politicians elected, we all vote for the illusion, that one thing they say that gives us hope that the world will transform into a place where we can simply be happy.

I believe that the real mistake is thinking that voting people into office is the way to create change.

We the people have to get involved in our countries, not just by voting, but by being proactive, take the initiative to solve the problems we need to fix. We have to take what we want and not expect it to be handed to us.

I DO NOT mean, starting riots, getting violent etc., I mean we have to get our hands dirty digging into the bureaucracy ourselves. We have to be our own lobbiests, write our own bills, and push them through. It is not easy because the powers that be make it very difficult, but there are bureaucratic ways of interacting with every governmental office, program etc. it just takes an extreme amount of work.

I propose we address this issue the same way we would a large open-source project. Something like Github could be used to organize the research, write bills, prepare and file paperwork etc. A module similar to Kickstarter could be used to raise funding for things that would require marketing (campaigning) or other resources. We already have the proof of concept within the two systems I mentioned, crowed sourcing works, so lets crowd source government.

I cannot imagine any other way that people will get their voices back, or that the world can be saved from the greedy.

I think a small scale product like this is necessary for spreading the hashing power out.

It will attract new miners and more importantly smaller, casual miners, but unfortunately I think the price needs to scale to that level as well. I understand there are probably RnD, Fabrication and production costs being considered in this unit right now, but I really couldn't see myself paying more than $30.00 for one. If they were in the $30.00 to $50.00 range I would be buying them as gifts for all of my friends and family to introduce them to bitcoin.

Maybe it would make sense to start by selling a larger unit then move to producing these when all of the overhead costs won't be as much of a problem.

Hi,

I have 3 of these cards and from everything I have read they are voltage unlocked, but I cannot get it to budge from 1.25VDC. The only tool that I know about to do it is atitweak,

but I have no luck at all.

Does anyone have any experience or suggestions?

Thanks,

I have wrote this script to automatically start bfgminer after X loads and it has been working fine. Until I compiled from git with scrypt enabled to mine litecoins. Now whenever it runs on start up, the GPU shows "ERR". If I comment out the command to run bfgminer then run that part manually after the computer starts, everything works fine.

Any thoughts?



thanks,
Jason

I am new to watching markets of any kind so please forgive the n00b nature of this question.

During the last big run I noticed that there were constantly big minute to minute swings in the price, by big I mean it seemed to fluctuate up and down 5, 10, or even 15 dollars at a time before it would shoot up another 20. Since the "crash" I have noticed that the highs and lows are a lot closer together, there was a little bit of 5-10 dollar fluctuation right after the recovery from the 50 dollar low, but it has gotten to the point where the ticker only varies by 2 to 3 dollars at most. My gut tells me that this is a good sign, but I wonder if it really is and what does it mean exactly.

Thanks!

I wonder if the phrase, "I got goxed" will make it into the mainstream

I am no expert, but even if the prices hang in this range for awhile, this is still significant growth for Bitcoin. It sucks for those of us that bought way above this price point, but we will still get back there one day. And who knows the next rally could be next week.

I sold LTC at 3.50 and bought BTC for 175, guess I should have waited longer, but I still hope to see the 300.00 price tag in a week. I don't know if it was a bad idea or not, but I have my fingers crossed.

How many psychological barriers could there be between 100.00 to 1,000.00 after BTC hit 100 I lost any doubt that it could just continue to grow indefinitely.

I cleared my previous prefs and started over, that did the trick.

The most recent commit is giving me the following error:

I am new to all this, but with the looks of things, am I right in assuming that should someone decide to take advantage of all of these cheap coins, the push to 100.00 would actually cheaper then it was this morning?

I have never seen anything like this before, Is there any end to this growth? When will we hit 1 million per bitcoin? I am ready to retire.

That is dishonest and blatent manipulation of the system, I swear I am not doing the same thing. 

The question that I am really struggling with is, should I setup a GPU mining rig today or preorder another ASIC.  I am fairly sure that there is still profits to be made in GPU mining, but I don't know if it would be worth my time.

I also wonder why only two companies are building these things. The race is hardly over and there is long-term money to be made for the manufacturers. Healthy competition keeps companies honest.
