Bitcoin soars above $1,400 to all-time high!

Maybe profitable now.

My R3 shut down due to high temp today so I took it off line.   
I do not think I will make it until BU shuts down. It is already 30.3 C today.  Spring this year was about a week long. 
On the bright side, I have repaired and refurbished 7 of the 8 machines. I will work on the last one tomorrow if I get time. Can you believe it? I had to replace 13 fans in 8 cases. BOINC still does not like the GPU drivers on the Linux machines but they are just single GTX 460's so it is not a priority yet. Have some more learning to do.

Campaign #10 had ended, Campaign #5 is at 87% and campaign#15 is at 22%. The end is near.

[Dingo]

Yes the end is near.  I am trying to get 10 Billion in #15 before it stops and have almost 7.5 Billion now.  It has been a great credit project and the only conciliation about crunching it is that it helps fund project and the Cancer council so not all bad.  I guess I should have started a long time earlier !!

[Dataman]

You should be able to make it Dingo. The Bitcoin price fell today and Campaign 10 dropped from 104% complete to 90% complete. I am trying for 300 billion but that will take until June 2nd ... it will depend on price whether or not there are enough wu's left.

[Dataman]

The bubble burst and Bitcion price dropped ~$700 USD. Appears BU will keep going for a bit more.

[JugNut]

Sheesh!!! I was reading an article the other day that said it had hit an all time high of $2K. 
It sure is on a roller coaster ride at the moment.

Yep, it topped at $2700 USD and change but has been in free fall the last two days. More wu's for us.

LOL ... that's because I can't see in the dark.

Campaign #15 has ended early at Blurf's request due to the sinking prices.

[JugNut]

Yes I noticed when I ran dry.    I'm not sure Blurf's decision makes much sense though? I mean as long as people were still crunching the goal would have eventually been reached.   Maybe he thinks it will just keep going down?  Still it's his call.

Oh well just two campaigns to go and both of those haven't got very long left to run either.

[Dingo]

Yes I just checked mine and out of work as I was only running 15.   I have ticked the box for the other two and hope for the best.  I didn't make my 10 billion on #15, but maybe there will be more work 

[Dataman]

Yes, I agree. He did say in a post at BU that it was scheduled to end on June 1 anyway.
I haven't decided but I may shut down mining on June 1. I would really like to participate in this AA and I cannot do it with the miners running. If there is anything left after the AA I can always restart them. I am scheduled to reach 300 billion on 6/1 so that would be a good stopping point.
But you know me ... new day ... new plan.  I can't have it both ways though.

Guess I'll save a bit more money on my power bill when I shut down the U3.
I don't think mining Bitcoins for myself will be worthwhile with 1 x U3 and a couple of Gecko's.
