Topic: I'm looking for partners for GPU mining I have free electricity (Read 5777 times)

Resurrecting this old thread. Now the summary of events in past months follows.

Did not get the electricity from free project, it was taken over by another persons. Handed over the project to another people.

Managed to get free electricity from municipality home heating system. This is no problem as key persons in home management and maintenance know about this and with possibility of many computers producing heat they could disconnect some heaters in shared public rooms.

Had few junk computers running servers and two ATI cards mining in pool. Everything was almost ready except physical security. Drunk persons coming and going with only curtain separating shelves with hardware from the drunkards.

Fire erupted in neighboring apartment from unknown reasons. Most likely smoking while drunk or electrical short. Whole place was first hit by smoke and then heavily flooded as fireman arrived.

Still have a hookup to free electricity but the location of hardware must be changed and secured. I was stuck to find sane and orderly person who can host the hardware in her apartment. Some where afraid from radiation (!) or objected to noise it produces.

We can probably lock this topic to end the flame war about ASIC. BFL still have not delivered and for great surprise seems that Avolon have ASIC.

Will write again if I get secure location for server location.

Shush Frog. Hey mrb can I take you up on your quoted bet right now?!

You mean June 31st 2013 I hope otherwise you lost already... 

Apparently, BTCFPGA already has the ASIC chip by the way. They are just finalizing the board design prior to final assembly, so I have heard but I may be wrong... 
As of BFL, they have the borad ready but are waiting for their ASIC chip according to the buzz.

I bet you 50 BTC right here publicly that at least one of BFL/bASIC/Avalon/etc will ship ASICs before June 31, 2013. Let's find an escrow we can both trust. Ok?

Edit: fixed year.

Bitcoin will never reach its full potential if we don't completely abandon the not so great pastimes of interest, gambling and financial fraud.

Ripping off the EU will not fix your country, Mysteryminer. Promoting and upholding a good image of BTC will.

You got it right.  2.4kW will be enough to run about 12-15 GPUs.

12-15 GPUs

 

Aye. Let me nudge it a little bit.

This thread is going nowhere but troll-landia.

How rude.  I don't use or support BFL, they are very unsavory at best.

Fuck you BFL sockpuppets! I have not ordered any ASIC products yet because I'm not stupid! If they are legit I will buy as soon as possible. How profitable it is for me that few people buy ASIC products with slight delay? 0.00002 BTC?I know ASIC are coming few years from now from legitimate microchip company such as Marvell Jmicron Infineon or similar known producer. Corpsefly Labs are long scam.

Busted!

It's also entirely possible he's got a bunch on order himself and thinks the more ppl he scares away the better off he is.

This says it all. MysteryMiner doesn't even believe his own claim that ASICs are a scam. So he refuses to make a public bet, and claims it is "confidential"  

In a way, this re-assures me, as it shows you are an educated person who knows that ASICs are coming.

When in past BFL released ASIC products? FPGAs are totally different devices in terms of development complexity, development cost and development times.They need dummies who pay advance fee in this scam of all scams. The price is high but affordable and the trust is established with FPGA products.Sorry, foreigners, international corporations, transnational unions are not my community! My community is my folk! Everyone who harms it is my enemy and will someday align with both iron sights!Do You know some ASIC capable company that is run by well known and reputable people and who do things in transparent way and not giving false promises? BFL is not such company, others seem very shady as well.Betsofbitcoin MysteryMiner is my profile but I made bet already using other profile that I want to keep confidential. And why You think I doubt the theoretical performance of specialized ASIC device? I doubt that BFL is making ASIC chips at all. I suspect them to be a con scam scheme establishing trust with easy to make FPGAs and then taking preorders and buybacks for new devices and disappearing. If they are making the chips they should have at least credible prototype videos and information that can lift all doubts about them.

Litecoins or alt currencies ^ is what I got out of that.

I fail to see the logic in this.

I can sell four 7970s that get me about 2.6g/h and get an ASIC that gets me 54g/h and uses a fraction of the power.  Why on earth would I, or anyone else, use a GPU for mining?

It's true. EU really gives unexplained money to projects that might comply with the notice they gave out. I'm also trying to get some

About the jalapenos: if it's a scam and they won't be shipped in about a month I'm about to cancel my order...

I said "they don't seem to ship in the US", hence expressing uncertainty, not a claim. Try again A few examples of the predictions I made and argued for: that pirateat40 would be a scammer, that the BFL Jalapeno would require 2 USB cables, that the HD 7000 series would be capable of 3.6 Mhash/J.

I also challenge MysteryMiner to put his money where his mouth is by betting against http://betsofbitco.in/item?id=665 (Full disclosure: I created this bet and put 50 BTC of my own money in it.) He claims he put money somewhere, without telling which bet and without showing proof.

Yes I wasted 5 mins clicking through your posts what of it?

You are wrong, and I added you to my signature. ASICs are coming.
I have always ended up being correct in all the arguments/claims I have been involved on these forums. I will be right again this time.
