since GPU mining for scrypt coins isn't bitcoin, aren't posts here about it in the wrong place? shouldn't they be posted in the altcoins section? So of course GPU mining is looked down on. it is either unprofitable or being talked about in the wrong place. (Bitcoin Snob here)


I agree that GPUs should be banished from this thread since they are no longer viable for bitcoin mining to make a profit.
Glory to ASIC!

Sorry to burst your bubble but there are distinct and valid reasons to be using GPU in 2014. Or were you trolling?

Some of these rigs people are posting images of cost over $6000, do you really think that they would go to great effort to design and construct these custom systems and not do a few calculations to prove they are viable and profitable?

+1

He must be trolling or ignoring uses for the GPUs...
Also, this is the "Pictures of your mining rigs!" topic, not the "Pictures of your bitcoin mining rigs!".

This is a 'bitcoin' section of the forum, for bitcoin mining hardware.
GPUs are no longer viable for profiting with BTC, so you are either stupid wasting money on power for your rig, OR you are mining altcoins.

If a mod could do so (if you need to message me, please do) I'd be grateful.

Re: ➫ ➬ Lucky Bit Signature Campaign ★ Earn up to 0.1BTC every month ★ Open Now!

Why are you barring me, when I made a mistake?
You aren't out of pocket, you've got free advertising, so why can't I try again?

Actually, I am out of pocket. Lucky Bit pays me to manage this campaign, but only a percentage of the payments I send. By denying your payment, I am losing a portion of my pay. I do not get paid a part of Lucky Bit's profits. I am not the one that benefits from the advertising, Lucky Bit is. I am simply the campaign manager.

Regarding why you are barred: because the rules clearly state that you would be. It is my responsibility as campaign manager to enforce those rules universally, and that is what I do even when it costs me. If I were lazy or irresponsible, I would have just sent payments to everyone regardless of whether they followed the rules or not and I would make more money doing it.

I value integrity over money, and I will protect the campaign and the sponsor even at personal cost.

It's also worth noting that you did a little more than just "make a mistake" - you flooded the forum over a few days then stopped posting. The rules are crystal clear on this matter, and this result was predictable.

It's not 'flooding the forum'.
There are many members who post 100+ posts a week, don't you dare accuse me of flooding. I have a right to post as often as I want, as long as it's not spam.

So I am 'barred' now too?

Yes. You didn't follow the rules of the campaign, and you are barred from future participation.

I'm sure one of the many other signature campaigns on this site will be happy to have you.

Come on, guys. If you are going to sign up for a signature campaign and run an ad for a whole month, at least follow the rules of the campaign! I disqualified all three of the people that were due for payment today.

Did not qualify:

UnluckyDuck - 32 posts total
cryptworld - 30 posts in 4 days, total 53
phoenixsilverbird - 52 posts in 4 days, total 56

You're making it very difficult for me to give away bitcoin, people....

I made the posts across 2 weeks...

You made 40 or so posts from the 11th to 13th which is probably the problem here.

That's a lie.
I was not told any specific rate or how 'fast' I should post.
Many members post here much more than that, you cannot DQ me for this...

Re: Vicks First Defence CURES COMMON COLD

More like it's excellent as masking the symptoms. There isn't a cure.

No no.
When you first feel the cold coming, you spray this up your nose.
It kills and flushes out the bacteria/virus before it has a chance to spread and get worse.


It's called 'Vicks first defence' and was in the daily mail.

I bought some for £6.99, a small bottle, because my family all have colds and I don't want to catch it.
I felt a cold coming this morning so I sprayed it up my nose.

Now I'm cured - I fucking LOVE this stuff.

What the hell.  Sign me up for 2 raffle tickets.  

pm'ing txid

The raffle has been cancelled.

I will refund you all 0.002, what's your BTC address please?

so you say 1 ticket could walk away with it winning 40x times the amount...you have two tickets sold n yet you cancel it? that doesn't seem fair Tongue should put a min. ticket number or something

True. I was looking for a minimum of 3 people to enter.
I have however, refunded MORE than the amount, so the sole entry actually made money!

I have 26 Antminer U2s I am willing to sell and another 20 I am keeping but might sell with interest.
I would like to request 0.02BTC per unit, so 0.52 BTC total.
I am willing to round this to 0.5 BTC.

This includes free shipping to the EU (or, if you are located anywhere else, please add 0.03BTC for shipping.

$300+ for 52 Gh/s? OUCH!

OP wants Antminer U2 sticks.
If he wants better value for hashpower I would recommend Antminer or Spondoolies tech.
Open to offers.
