Could be some good money to be made in the next couple days...if you've got cash available at TradeHill, of course.
Grr, got a bunch of bitcoins, but no cash in the system right now. By the time I'd get money in, things will probably have stabilized.

If Citibank and Bank of America can be hacked (and those are just the two I remember as having major problems in the past few months), not to mention ALL those other nonfinancial companies (Sony obviously being foremost in though, but it isn't like they are alone) can you really expect a site maintained by a small team (heck, maybe one guy) to be more bulletproof than those huge multinationals?
I dont trust bank of america, nor do I trust sony. Thankfully, I dont have a PSN account. Bank of America bought out my mortgage from another bank, I intend to be rid of them within 6 months. As far as gox, if they were going to take on real financial transactions, they should have been more secure. Period.
I think they'll recover. I think now is actually a perfect time to put that thing to use. If I could buy right now I would.
I'll most likely end up selling/Trading it. Honestly I lost the "magic" before the whole mtgox thing even happened.

Yup, please leave while you still can. It got pretty annoying seeing less than a coin per day

The comments there pretty much destroy his flimsy doomsday-told-you-so argument much like the arguments of the armchair economists around here.

Yeah, there was just too much mining when it was at 4x the price of bitcoins, that's why difficulty went up so high so fast, but it's flooded right now... (read into that what you will...

that 5850 should be doing more than the 5830, mine does 366MH/s with no voltage increases, also that 6950 should be doing more, my 6850 does 220MH/s...
These in the same machine? I remember reading awhile ago that people didn't have great luck mixing 5xxx/6xxx on the same box.
My 5830s does about 260-270Mhash/sec each. No overclocking I think. My 6870s are doing about 290Mhash/sec each. Minor linux overclocking on those. Your 6950 should be easily out-topping my 6870s. Do you have power issues? How about heat? What are temps like. The card may be dropping speed down for overly high temperatures.

Those of you lamenting the namecoin increase in difficulty, some good news for a change. ICANN just voted to relax the rules of TLD registration and you'll soon be able to have dot anything as a valid domain. What does this mean? It means those .bit addresses you've been mining for will be accessible and very valuable due to their decentralized nature.

Of course there isn't. The criticism and doom/gloom is coming from outsiders and armchair economists that assume mtgox and the current speculative state of the currency is all there is to the bitcoin project.

If ICANN decided to allow .bit domains, the namecoin system is certainly not going to be the one they use. It will be handled like .com and .net and all the others.
If the namecoin system actually took off before that time, and millions of people were using it, the most that would happen is that the .bit owners would be allowed to keep their domain names when the switchover to the new system happened. On the other hand, at this point all namecoins would become worthless.
Namecoins are destined to be worthless, because if they fail, they fail, and if they succeed, the system is taken over by ICANN and they become worthless.
This is not working for me.

You assume that ICANN will be in the picture at all.
From a post on BTC Forums:
If Namecoin reaches critical mass, most people will stick with the system that came first and simply ignore ICANN's conflicting .bit or .web assignments.
Remember, ICANN can't force anybody to use their root nameserves. Even for a non-geek user all it takes to circumvent ICANN is a browser plugin, and I assume that this type of plugin would be turned on by default on a Firefox download, if Namecoin were ever to become mainstream.

Overdrive is not enabled in the Vision Center(new CCC) but MSI Afterburner never goes below 625 for mem. And when I close it and reopen it sets right back to the default 1250.

weird, did you make the changes to the MSIafterburner.cfg file...?
I have used this on 4 cards (2 were in crossfire) without fail...
Yup. Using version 2.1 of the afterburner software.
Some info for you all:
The guy bought the 250,000 bitcoins for $.01 each has posted on a thread on the bitcoin forums, claiming he is not involved with the hacker and just put in a huge buy order when he saw all the sales going through. http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=20207.0
The guy who runs Mtgox created another thread on the bitcoin forums saying that he basically doesn't believe the first guy and thinks he is the hacker. http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=20250.0
