I am wondering how much will it cost for an used + working BFL Jalapeño nowadays. I don't think the jala will make any ROI with this difficulty and I am not looking to make any ROI with this machine since I am just a casual #not #looking #to #make #any #money #of #bitcoin dude that is interested in Bitcoin. I am willing to pay in USD or GBP (GBP preferably) since I have BTC0.014044 only. My range without shipping cost to UK is up to £70 (or £80 depending on the age of it, which is USD$112-128 (data from 7 Nov 22:25 UK time)). Please list your price and hopefully I can try and match it. p.s. I am a 16yrs old student only, be kind  GL HF Better not to respond at all then. |

Hey everyone, just to add my 2 cents. Ordered my Jalapeno back in March, finally arrived last week! It's happily churning away as we speak, no where near the ROI I was hoping for when I ordered it but hey ho..you live and learn. Thankfully I don't pay for my electricity bills so it's just sitting there making me (granted very small amounts of) money  The recent price rises have piqued my interest somewhat and I think I'll be moving away from mining and towards trading. Apologies, I've wandered off topic, my attitude to the whole BFL thing 'Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me' Without electricity, hopefully your jalapeno will generate you about .5 btc over the next 12 months. At $500 a coin, you'll be even in a year. Hopefully you didn't pay with BTC ouch. |

Lo siento. But, this isn't the first web wallet that's stolen coins after a hack. Keep your own coins. Of course also, Gavin has said it time and time again. Don't put money into bitcoin that you cannot afford to use. It is an experiment and could die at any time. Sure there is a lot of potential. But there is certainly a lot of risk. |

when ASIC comes out,
everyone mining with a graphics card is going to switch to litecoin, but will not be as optimistic on litecoin and will sell the litecoins as they come in.
this will crash the litecoins and will present the best buying opportunity their ever was?
Just following up here, have ASIC's come out yet for BTC? Is this a joke or have you been living under a rock? Visit the custom hardware subforum... ASICs for Litecoin will not come for at least 1-2 years IMO. The price of LTC needs to support the cost of development. Did you read the post? It's saying, that when ASIC's come out (Which they hadn't really in Q1 this year) that everyone would rush to litecoin with their GPU's and crash litecoin. I'm asking, sarcastically of course, did litecoin die because ASIC's came out for BTC? |

Hello everybody.
As a new forum member I am resorted to posting it here rather than in Cavirtex (Canadian bitcoin exchange) thread.
Recently Cavirtex, introduced an absolutely ridiculous new fee: inactivity fee.
They will be charging 50$ a month if you do not perform transactions during a year period.
For some people who created an account with them with a strategy to hold for a long term, that might spell very expensive bad news.
Cavirtex, are you out of your mind? Are you desperately trying to loose your customers?
If you are a Canadian and a Cavirtex customer, please express your opinion.
Also if you are a Canadian please let us know what alternative exchanges do you use?
$50 a month with no money in the account, or if it is funded? My question to you, is are you out of your mind if you are holding funds, especially BTC with a third party? Bitcoin is made so YOU can control your funds. WTF are you doing leaving coins on their exchange?!? If I've misunderstood, my apologies. What's the problem with keeping a couple bucks on there and once a year buying $1 worth of coins? |

thanks for the advice guys just bought in 1.5 btc at 328.31 at coinbase while my ticker gadget says its at 357. they charge me $5 fee but it looks like they are going lose over $45 on this transaction, do you think it will still go through?
You're probably quoting from MtGox last. The rates you said are the rates that are live. I doubt they are losing anything on these rallys. |

That's not true at all. Registered mail doesn't have to be inspected to be sent. I don't know where you got that information, but it is very wrong.
I use registered mail on a regular basis for high value metal sales, as thats the only way to insure silver bullion if its being shipped. You have to package it in front of the post office employee, and they make sure that the package is sealed correctly, and you are shipping what you said you are shipping. Is that maybe because of the insurance you are adding to it that they have you do that? http://about.usps.com/publications/pub370/pub370_012.htm |

You can view it yourself by looking at the detailed view of a shift. It shows you how many shares in that shift were contribued by PPS users.
Never looked at a shift details before. Cool, thanks. |

With the usual ~70 Day turn-around for Chips that puts you a little past mid January for your first silicone. the usual 70 day turn-around is for people who don't pay extra to the fab to expedite the process Turn around is commonly closer to 60 days, and we are expediting the process in several different ways. Ever since mock tape out we have been streamlining every piece of the manufacturing process so that we can deliver at break neck speed as soon as we receive chips. Break neck like KNC that ships out crap or break neck like BFL's two weeks tm? |

Grossly disproportionate rewards to a small community of self selecting early adopters.
So did the wheel. Wheels subsequent to the first one got easier to make. Had we applied a Bitcoin style model at this point wheels would be so difficult to produce that people would have to lease them off those that already have them. Creating more wheels didn't make all the wheels stronger. But, the wheels would have been stronger if all the wheel makers joined a pool. Unless a wheel pool had more than 51% of the wheels. |

I apologize if my responses in the last day have been aggressive. One thing most don't realize is that while luck hurts your earnings, it *costs* me money when luck is this bad. I've lost nearly 40 BTC from luck (even more if you count the fact that I haven't earned any coins in the last 24 hours roughly), and another 25 from an orphaned block just as this bad luck kicked off. Even at 7.5% fee on PPS, when luck is this bad I'm paying out a lot more than I'm making off the fee when the blocks finally do hit.
It does all even out in the long run though. You can still see our luck since September 27th is holding strong at 103.9% currently.
Do you have any stats on PPS and PPLNS % on BTCGuild? How drastically does it swing during a period like this? |

The electricity used to protect the network is preventing a global mini ice age from happening. If global nuclear war were to break out, bitcoin would keep the planet from freezing.

I have 0.10 BTC. I want $45 PayPal USD. If you have no trading reputation, do not contact me. If you have trading reputation, and you want to do this trade, send me a private message. You might have to wait a couple of days to get that rate  He's taking a higher rate due to the risk of exchanging BTC/PP. lol. And all I'm saying is in the morning, the rate may be too cheap |

I'd like to know more about how sending cash in the mail works in general. How are the buyer/seller protected by escrow?
There seems like no way for the escrow agent to validate that the buyer of BTC actually sent the cash, unless the escrow agent receives the cash and forwards it to the seller. This can create a certain counter party risk from the escrow agent.
At least with cash-in-the-bank transactions there is some receipt given by the teller.
It sounds like SaltySpitoon has some experience doing this so I'm curious how fraud is prevented.
Well, fraud can be prevented a few ways. Registered mail is the best option, because its the safest shipping wise, and can be insured. When doing registered mail, the post office employee has to physically watch you seal up what you say you are sealing up in the package, so you can't commit insurance fraud. If you are shipping via registered mail, you can't just ship someone a wad of construction paper, with a tracking number and say it was cash, because the post office wont allow you to do so. I've done a few smaller cash trades which didn't require registered mail, and we just did overnight shipping, but for larger sums of money, it is certainly worth doing everything right. That's not true at all. Registered mail doesn't have to be inspected to be sent. I don't know where you got that information, but it is very wrong. |

Four of the last seven blocks doesn't seem too bad. Time to switch back? That was a pretty ugly swing though. Glad it happened after the last difficulty change to suck up the last little bit of easier mining.

post a photo of you standing next to the 7 miners, holding a piece of paper with the words "not a scam" and todays date written on it
should be simple enough if you are for real
He couldn't find any exactly like that. He could only find what he tossed up. You're asking way too much from a scam. |
