Hello,
I'm receiving a few AMD Radeon HD 7950s soon, and looking to build a box for scrypt mining and some other parallel applications. Does anyone have any recommendations for cheap motherboards, cpus, case etc. with confirmed linux compatibility that can easily host 3-4 of these?
Thank you.

Thank you.
Haven't gotten any payouts from the pool yet, when do they occur?
Also, a recommendation. Go through the source code again and carefully turn "bitcoin" into "fireflycoin" where appropriate. It's changed in some places, but persists in others - I see it in the conf files for example.

The gateway software contains a rippled binary I believe. If so, they have distributed it.
There really is no "gateway software". There's just the rippled software. To my knowledge, we have not distributed the binary to anyone who has not also received the source. In any event, the only licenses the rippled software source code is subject to are:1) The OpenCoin license.
2) The OpenSSL license.
3) The Boost license.
4) The LevelDB license.
5) The Bitcoin license.
Rippled also uses SQLite3 and json-cpp which are in the public domain. Additional licenses might apply to the JavaScript unit tests.
I stand corrected, thanks for clearing this up. The Ripple wiki https://ripple.com/wiki/Rippled_build_instructions lists ctags http://ctags.sourceforge.net/ as an optional package, which has a GPL license. Will this be respected, or does its optional status mean it is not necessary?
They're not distributing rippled, so there can be no violation. You're not mandated to share your modifications on free software, butwhen you choose to do it, you have to follow the rules.
I don't think you can violate a license with code running on your server, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: [Group Buy#1] Avalon ASICs CHIPS! Using JohnK as escrow! FINISHED!
Go ahead and keep my overpayment.
Confirmed, thanks.
List:
nebiz - return to tip addy.
ryepdx - tipped.
Anyone else with overpayments please confirm here so I can process it at once, thanks!
Is there a list of overpayments? If I overpayed, take the extra as a tip Johnk.
Please try to buy WITHOUT Bitspend first. Although it's great and easy, Bitspend doesn't add much to the bitcoin ecosystem since it's not an organic adoption.
hanging on to them. Either they are gonna be worth a ton or nothing one day
Good idea, but, the value increases by the amount being used. If every one held on to their bitcoins they'd become worthless.
K.
This has made me wonder about the problem of people who die with a considerable bitcoin balance? Since no one else knows their passwords for their wallet, are these bitcoins just as dead as their old owner?
Yes. This increases deflation of the currency, but it shouldn't be an issue since Bitcoins are easily divisible. In the scenerio that too many coins are lost, μBTC might be used.
Anyways, if you have a lot of BTC, make sure your family knows how to access and secure the funds if you should die suddenly.
To mine using a pool, you need to first register an account on a pool site.
Here are a list of pools:
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Comparison_of_mining_pools
I use slush's. The site you choose will determine the hostname, port, username, and password. You can then run the software with those values to begin mining.
You should know there is a minimum withdraw amount from most (all???) pools. Because of this, it is likely you will need to mine for a long time with the current difficulty to withdraw any profits.

Re: [Group Buy] Avalon ASICs CHIPS! Using JohnK as Escrow! Send coins to confirm!
So, is it only multiples of 10,000? If we have it filled by sunday, is it still possible to order more than 10,000? I'm doing everything I can to get some BTC Sunday, but what happens if it gets filled today? Does the Sunday deadline hold?
Thanks! Just trying to figure out how I can make this happen. I REALLY want in. I'm bumping my order up to 100 pieces. (8.
btc)

btc)I can float you for the order (up to 10 BTC) for a fee of 1.5%, if you can give me some assurance the transfer is in progress and the order will be in my name until you pay me (and if JohnK/ragingazn is okay with changing the name midorder).
Let me know what you think.
Re: [Group Buy] Avalon ASICs CHIPS! Using JohnK as Escrow! 714.4/780 BTC PLEDGED!
PS: I've sent out the PM's around 7 hours ago. I have a few confirmations in with various timelines, hopefully this gets done before this Friday. This is starting to make me feel like the organizer now. 
Where's the OP? I'd feel better if he were answering these questions. The last I head is that he said something about being a part of a group of engineers that have big asic plans. I'd like to know more about those plans, (as may of us here will need that kind of expertise. Myself included). Are any of them in the bitcointalk community? Just hearing from them here would go miles towards building trust here. John is only responsible for the coins. Ragingazn has ultimate responsibility for the chips. And, yes I do agree with these terms.
I'm in for 20 coins. Raging has said he will post his coins (about 40) in a few days.
JohnK and I are taking turns pretty much lol - I am up when he goes to sleep and he's up when I'm still asleep.
Yes I've been talking to local engineers to start up a project. Everyone's excited about this. Nothing is set in stone yet but I will let you know once the team is put together and our website is up etc. But the plan is that by the time the chips start shipping we would be able to offer a service to build ASIC machines using your chips that you ordered. You obviously would have to pay for the extra parts (PCB / PSU etc.) and labor. But that's all in the future for now. I am just planning ahead while we wait!
I guess the major goal with this would be to match BFL's prices or lower after additional parts and construction.
Re: [Group Buy] Avalon ASICs CHIPS! Using JohnK as Escrow! 714.4/780 BTC PLEDGED!
Yes. Please calculate how much chips you would like (take a quick look at the spreadsheet) and send accordingly. To get an even amount of chips, you'll have to send a bit more or less than 50BTC exactly.
Looks like 52.802 for approx 660 chips. Look about right? (entered 51.48 in column B)
(660/12.8205128205128) * 1.025 + 0.035 = 52.802
That is correct, according to my calculations.

I am also interested in shipping the chips to burnin. His post says he's working with you ragingazn628.
Once we get the order in, let us know how to coordinate shipping to burnin for creating the PCB boards.

I would like more info on this as well, after the order is placed.
Re: [Group Buy] Avalon ASICs CHIPS! Using JohnK as Escrow! Pledge reached!!
Looks like I'm landing with a remainder of .64 chips. Should I round my amount down to match? In retrospect this would have been much easier pledging for chips instead of BTC.
Let me know ASAP. Thanks.
