Update on new infrastructure: FPGA boards are ready! Now they have to be configured with the firmware, tested, and mounted into rack cases. They should be ready for mining during the next week.

Any news about "new infrastructure"?

Any updates on when the new infrastructure is coming?  Grin

FPGA boards are under production at the assembly house, I should receive them before the end of the week. Then I have to install the boards into rack cases and configure everything. I expect that everything will be operative before the end of next week, I'll keep yo

Scattering my bits around the net since 1980
Why is it necessary to enter a captcha during log ins if people can do is check stats? There are no options to change so there is no reason to bot it or anything.
Without the captcha, some people would automate creating more and more sub accounts (something I  had thought about doing myself)

With the captcha, you have to do it manually (which forced me to make a much simpler tree Cheesy )

I'll take a chance and give it a try. Smiley

Since I used one of the referral links above, I'll return the favor (the links listed on the profile page under “last 14 days referrals” are my referral links, right?)

You get to see more stats, and most importantly you see your payout address and your referral links.

updated 7/3/12 thanks for using my referral
Summery of pyramining
You send in bitcoin(s) and they use it to buy fpga boards.
for each bitcoin you send, they will use a portion of their mining farm's speed ~7Mhps/BTC to mine for you
You don't need to setup anything and they will mine for you automatically untill you get 110% (about 9 months later) (you use a referral otherwise it will be 105%) of what you sent in
Each time 1 bitcoin is mined, it is sent to your bitcoin address(not changeable) untill you are rewarded completely (the last time won't be 1 btc exactly)
If you send in more bitcoins, they will increase your speed and reward but beware; you may not withdraw what you put in already!
If you use a referral, a small portion of your rewards (verrry small) will be given to who you were referred by and who they were referred by

Is there really no way of changing your Rewards Address?

My rewards address is hooked up to an InstaWallet which I still have access to but I'm afraid InstaWallet may turn rogue. Although, that's an assumption.

Having a way of changing it would be dangerous as the accounts aren't password protected, and anyone can look at the blockchain and find what your deposit address is.

Stop trying to find solution for non-existant problems, dudes...

From my 49 referrals, 35 deposited. Where are the ones that click links and open accounts to invalidate referral links then?

Pyramining:

I noticed that it is possible to nullify everyone else's referral links without depositing BTC. I think this could become a problem if it already hasn't.

If referrals would only expire once BTC are deposited, it might keep everyone a little bit more honest.

I think it would be kind of cheap if your account said it had a 10% and then right as you're about to deposit some BTC it's 5%.

Yeah, there's a problem that occurs when it basically becomes an (unknown) race as to who can deposit and get their BTC confirmed first. And what happens if two accounts that register with that referral both have their deposits confirmed at the same time? Perhaps you can just keep the existing one-account-per-referral scheme, but have the referral link reactivate and the registered (empty) account deleted after 5 or so days of no deposits?

That's a good point. I think 30 minutes would be plenty of time. Otherwise, it's not really worth the effort. I update my referrals at least daily. If they reactivated in 5 days, it woudn't do a whole lot.

If, say, the time is 30 minutes, then also there must be a 30 minute delay before new referrals are generated.

An interesting dilemma, may not even be worth changing?

It was a little bit tempting however, when this company first announced itself and there were lots of referrals, to go through and activate everyone else's (a.k.a. psy's) links by simply clicking them and giving a dummy address (I didn't do it though)

I have a question: How are you going to handle all the deflation that's to come with Bitcoin? Not too long from now, all the hardware will be worth half the bitcoins it's worth now. That will defenitely slow it down, maybe even enough to destroy the company.
