No, BFL had a final sale policy. These two units would've made me about $55K within 3 month at the time of ordering, but now is only capable of about $1600 within 3 month. It's still something, so I think I'm going to use them to mine until power cost and coins mined are at equilibrium.

Which should be take a while. Aren't they hella power efficient by design? At this point no worry in leaving them running I figure.

Not at the current rate of difficulty rising.

Not exactly, they're like under 500W each. So power per month comes around to $60 ish from the two machines, but it's still rather profitable at this current exchange rate and difficulty.

[QUOTE=WhiteHusky;43842430]What? Did the shipping company have them in some warehouse and when they were just checking packages and they found that these haven't been shipped yet? Like...how the fuck does that even happen?[/QUOTE]
Companies that manufactuers high performance ASIC miners are all scams in a way. They purposely use the excuse of "oh we're still developing it hence your preorder is going to take a year to ship" because they want to keep these units to themselves first so they can make money off of your miners by mining with them.

I guess I was remembering the power usage of the small models Which were like 10 watts.

Chargeback then. I'd think there is some aspect of consumer law covering you since they hadn't even shipped the product.

What a great time for Gox to destabilize the market
[editline]8th February 2014[/editline]
For those of you who don't know, Mt.Gox (the largest bitcoin exchange) has had "technical difficulties" for the past week or 2 in paying out BTC (to the tune of 40,000 BTC on backlog or something, and payment in fiat currency has been closed for ever longer). Yesterday they officially closed withdrawls of BTC.
This means that the price dropped from ~$950 to $640 in about 5 days, and Mt.Gox's price has now dropped below BTC-e and Bitstamp (the second and third biggest exchanges, which I'm not sure has ever happened).
Gox needs to be smaller. I hope this will move people to the other exchanges.

The Artigo itself isn't mining, is it? I can't imagine how little you'd possibly mine with a 1.0Ghz Via Eden X2 Dual-Core.

Nah I normally use it as my media center PC connected to my TV. I connected them to it instead because 1) it doesn't use much power and 2) these miners are loud as fuck so I want to isolate them.

[QUOTE=lavacano;43841031]hm, I was asking because it's possible your ISP is throttling your connection when it detects torrents (your game patchers), but I've never heard of that ISP before so I don't actually know.[/QUOTE]
They are a fairly large ISP in the Dakotas. I have them as well, and as far as I can tell, they don't do any throttling on torrents. My connection earlier was fine when I was downloading one at nearly my max bandwidth. Might just be a crappy modem or router. Most of my connection woes a couple months ago boiled down to too many cable splitters and a 10 year old Ambit modem. :v:
man I really hate thinking about bitcoin. I was going to invest big money in them when they first came around but I was afraid it would be too unstable on account of being digital currency
A long time ago I had a good ebook recommended by someone in the GMF for learning Java as an absolute beginner
I've since lost it and can't find any other good Java tutorials that don't assume I already know other languages. Anyone know of anything that fits the bill? Basically if it doesn't spend 20 pages telling me what IDE stands for then it's too complicated for me. Free, preferably.
like I was a coin flip from investing $800 when they were $.23 per bitcoin

If our ISP started throttling torrents, we could probably complain to the ombudsman, because torrents are almost the only way to get our advertised 100mbit :V
i use firefox almost solely because it doesn't trigger onclick events when using middlemouse on links
I use it because I've used it for about 10 years and there's no practical difference between browsers anymore
I use Firefox because I like the UI, I think Chrome's too minimalist
(yes I'm using chrome right now, it's different on android)
however i can't find a way to move the refresh button from the url bar to the navigation buttons (what the fuck are you doing mozilla) in nightly
realized there actually was a PC version of MGS1, but I can't get it to work properly. the game works, but I can't play it in hardware mode so the res is kinda eh. got some big ass borders too which takes away my attention.

Integral (mgs1) is confusing because Substance (mgs2) is an incredibly good port. Have you tried the fixes pcgamingwiki has for it?

I have always tried running it in 98 mode, and for some reason it works when I run without any compability. weird. only issue I have now is that no cutscenes are playing, and it seems like the voice files for the codec transmissions are gone too. not all of them, but it's often just text with no voice. is that intended?

Try win2000 mode, or [URL="https://app.box.com/shared/frgfd58qh0"]this patch. [/URL] Apparently you can fix the issue with soundfiles by moving them all from the CD/ISO to the game's folder.

hmm no, still no cutscenes sadly. I didn't get to try win2000 mode since I couldn't find it in the dropdown menu.
In a attempt to make a check valve in OE-Cake, I made a pump.

I've probably spent most of my game time in OE-Cake and never even noticed.

Sorry this is better.
Alright don't go on about it. I should admit OE-Cake does better fluid.
