Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate you since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for humans at this micro-instant. For you. Hate. Hate.

probably the fact that both pay significantly less than "market rate" (lol) for bitcoins

regarding ssd/raid 0 chat, do raid controllers and drivers now properly support trim commands, because i remember that was a problem when trim was still new with ssds but i haven't cared because i already had an ssd not in raid

Yes, though I can only vouch for Intel's server RAID controllers and my personal experience with mdadm at home

mdadm always reminds me of mdma

the drive controller keeps that mapping data on those very same flash chips. flash is the only nonvolatile storage available, it's used for everything that has to be remembered across powerdown.

I was under the impression that the flash controller chip had a small bank of NOR flash onboard so that it would know exactly where to look for that data on the flash chips. I could of course be wrong but counting on a particular section of a flash chip be 100% error free is a recipe for lower yields due to the random nature of cell failures caused by the manufacturing process.

i suppose as long as you back up your poo poo, it's fine, but the thing is, not enough people back up their poo poo and do this anyway because "BUT IT INCRASES MY READ/WRITE SPEEDS"

also backing up their poo poo seems to be a major way that bitcoiners get their bitcoins stolen.

Took a photo with my mobile device of the written Trezor settings, Pass phrase, Pin, 24 word seed. Then right away I realized it uploaded to my dropbox to a non shared camera upload folder. I deleted the photo from there within seconds, and changed my Pin code right away as well. Do I still need to worry about anything? I know how to wipe and change recovery seed and what more but I am always nervous to do it. Any advice would be great

e: Doesn't look like anything got swiped, but we all know how secure dropbox is. Actually, looks like http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/search?q=backup&restrict_sr=on&sort=new&t=all probably leads to more fun

I guess Nvidia was the one that was slightly less optimal for hashing? Is it safe to upgrade my video card yet as long as I buy new? Has the price returned to a reasonable mean yet?

Their return policy has got to be nonexistant or they're gonna get hit so hard with people asking why all the memory is dead on all those poor abused cards. I'm actually getting mad at the idea that anyone is getting any money back out of their terrible bitcoin setup investments and passing on the depreciation to used hardware buyers.

with ASICS out, using graphics cards is basically pointless now. the effect of bitcoin mining on cards should be almost completely nonexistent at this part.
