Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I knew in the past a person could jump on Ebay and buy up a few cheap Antminers or something and still make a tiny profit. Is there anything small, cheap, but still somewhat powerful enough to make a couple of BTC before they become completely obsolete? Even .1BTC a week would be cool. Like...
BTC up to $600 again (well it was momentarily at least). I guess that means the price the FBI's BTC were auctioned off for was not less than market value, they were not dumped on the market causing the collapse of Bitcoin as we know it leading to mass rioting, suicides, and worldwide chaos and...
FlyMeCoin being released on Saturday will be the first to use X22.

I guess, depending on how this goes, this could be the start of another new algorithm.
Went to check Dogehouse.org to see if my account had a balance left on it after I stopped mining DOGE a couple days ago and see that the two owners had a falling out. Pronoob is no longer in the picture apparently and the site is being run by his ex-co-owner. The old servers are still up if...

It's not much, but it's a start. We'll see if the freeze holds after 14 days.
Too bad they can't freeze Bitcoin.
Whether or not this is true remains to be seen, however people are already starting to react to it and the BTC price is reflecting this.

I've been having some real stability issues with my 780's lately. After numerous driver updates and rollbacks, underclocking, adjusting voltages, memtests both on the system and on the GPUs, reformatting, etc. I just can't get my 780's to fold without crashing anymore.
I started testing my...
So, it took longer than I had hoped, but the electrician was in and now I have a few new dedicated 20A circuits for my folding riggery. You should be seeing me post some points again within a couple hours.
I got fed up with the driver crashing on me every 2 days under Windows... I need to try something else. So I figured I would try Ubuntu (or ANY Linux really... Ubuntu is just the first one I thought of).
But I'm getting hung up on trying to add the GPU slots to the folding client. Whenever I...
Aside from folding, I want to try my hand at LTC mining... it still seems like it might be profitable for GPU miners, right?
I have some other really noob questions that I hope I can get answered... I've looked at a bunch of guides but none seem to answer my questions. They're good at...
I am trying out the new beta drivers because I'm trying to locate the source of my once daily driver crashes. It is probably partly due to the factory overclocks on my pair of 780's but if you read the NVidia forums, there are quite a number of reports about instability with the 320.xx driver...
Well, it's out of beta...

I know I missed the official notice... dunno if anyone else did. If this was mentioned here in the forums already, then I apologize for the redundancy.
So far, each of my 670's has received a 10504 GPU2 work unit that uses core 11. Apparently, neither of my Keplers like them because even though it appears to want to start folding, it never does and just hangs there. The troubling part is that I have to physically pause the folding, wait a...
I had one of my SMP boxen offline for the day while I was at work, and when I got home I started it up and a while later noticed this failed work unit in HFM.

Hi all! I just received the last couple pieces for my 2P build today... the CPUs. But I seem to have run into a wall and need a second opinion from you other tech gurus (particularly other owners of KGPE-D16 boards).
I so just installed the CPUs into the KGPE-D16 board I have and on boot...
I've been planning it for awhile now.... it's the perfect project to keep me occupied over the next couple months. But I have questions... I'm hoping you 4P mafia members can help me with some answers.
1) For those of you with 4Ps, what kind of power draw are you seeing while folding? You...
So I just built a couple of 2700K SMP rigs for dedicated folding. I have Ubuntu 11.10 running on both (probably going to switch to 12.04 LTS when it's released because hey, it's LTS). Even though I figured I knew what I was doing (I'm not too shabby at handling Linux, but when it comes to...
