This is the Wilson Wilson that my goat pic was in reference to, though I'm aware of the volley ball Wilson referenced with Tom Hanks.



@Phinnaeus Gage
That was funny. Thanks.

You're not goin' to make this easy, are you? BTW, excellent reply.

Still no Japanese up there? I'm surprised...

便所 (benjo) - Japan is famous for this piece of technology.

Added! I had to look it up, only to discover that it's a Portuguese soup kettle.

Actually, that Portugese soup kettle is just in the shape of it. Probably made for fun. In reality, a benjo is a high-end wine brewery machine, often used in fancy fortresses located around California and Texas.

And you drink it with a straw.



Now, only if somebody would shop Benjo Winery on the vessel.

I'm located ~50 miles due west of Chicago, but Sandwichians are in the middle of a tense mayoral contest.

At least the robins arrived fat. I wonder if they taste like dove.

Quote from: BFL_Josh
"The process to bring a brand new ASIC to life is not as simple as turning it on. The fact that some people BFL thinks it is, is an indicator that they have never actually done so. There is a lot of testing, poking, prodding and debugging that needs to happen to get a chip up and running and if someone BFL tells you differently, they are incorrect, plain and simple."
BFL Update 03-25-2013

And this is exactly the explanation why BFL is so bloody late (and will possibly never have a working product): They are just some cowboys that managed to get the funding done (venture capital, pre order money), outsourced everything and naively took the best case scenarios from their subcontractors for their estimates.

If there is any naivety to what BFL is doing then it must be a pretty deliberate and consistent form of naivety.

How did the production projection go down from 500 a day to 300 units per day?

Dear ShadowOfHarbringer,

Usually I don't respond to unfriendly posts, but maybe this one needs a bit of addressing. We've had the honor of having Sonny in our corporation
for the past year. He is a bright and honorable person who had come face to face with strong forces behind the scenes without knowing. Many movies
have been made to try and demonstrate how governments and lobbying powers operate. They can kill, sabotage, prosecute or pretty much do anything
they desire without consequences as they have the power, money and weapons to make their point.

The United States Government does not recognize international bounderies when it comes to its interests and demands. The attack on the PirateBay
servers in Sweden is a good instance. Should the owners of PirateBay been Americans, I'm sure they'd already been serving for life in some prison in USA,
under charges of money-laundry, tax evasion (ads on the site), child pornography and so on and so forth. It's easy to hurt people who are powerless.
Even in France this may happen, eventhough on a much smaller scale ( I can't recall any at this point ).

Regarding whether we are a scam or not, the several thousand shipped units can speak for itself. We've used the experience gained in mass production
of our singles in our SC production cycle (we've got a MyData Pick-And-Place and an Oven for high-speed and high-volume inhouse assembly). Someone
mentioned the backlog is already 5,000. On a production speed of 500 units a day for instance, 5,000 will only take 10 days. We've already prepared the
infratructue for very high volume production, since the great portion of the orders will come in after the SC is released to the public. 5,000 units is not much
compared to orders we expect to receive after SC release, so we're very ready for it.


I hope this message has addressed some of your questions.


Regards,
Nasser

Seriously, all the similarly spelled names are linked and I can prove it. To date, I've uncovered five.

My next step is to make phone calls to see who is who, and if those I call on the other end have a clue as to what is going on.

P.S. We will not accept payments in BTC from consumers before there is a product.

Please clarify:

Are you accepting payments in dollars from consumers before there is a product?

Are you accepting payments in BTC and/or dollars from investors before there is a product?

Since you only selling the secret ASIC to investors, does that mean investors are actually consumers?

And does that also mean investments are actually pre-orders?




My partner, obfuscated above (I'll refer to him as Wilson Wilson), have secretly been developing ASIC-based Bitcoin encryption devices for over two years. The product is now ready for ordering.

Unlike the other manufacturers, we didn't do the pre-order game, opting to only take bitcoins from bitcoiners via ordering only. Once ordered, you're more than welcome to come to our barn and pick up your equipment, but please PM us first, but not via a PM service that has captchas, for WW and I can't stand them.

The ASICs are based on 32nm chips for awesome speed. You will be amazed as to how cool the package looks.

The machines run so cool, there are no fans. In fact, we were going to market it as doubling as an ice cream maker, but thought that wasn't wise, so we went with only the beer chiller marketing approach.

Free shipping and lifetime guarantee is also included.

For proof as to who I am, I will be constructing a LinkedIn account as soon I stop laughing my ass off.

One finally thing: I will not be engaging trolls by defending me or people with similar names, there is no point.

i dont think no tag for rockso has anything to do with you. theymos has his own agenda.

Au contraire, my little toy!

Me and my buddy are seriously starting a topless cleaning service. We are currently trying to come up with a clever business name. There is a 10 coin reward for the person who comes up with the name of our company. Thanks for the suggestions guys.

<image redacted>

It seems that you, rockso, have yet to pay out a 10 BTC bounty for a name suggestion for your topless cleaning service of which I contributed. With the exchange rate currently being ~$94/BTC, and rising, that equates to over $940+ you own somebody.

And yes, we're talking about the new rate, and not the rate when the thread was first open. Recently, I ponied up a 1 BTC bounty at a much higher rate than when I first introduced the bounty back in December.

Therefore, I now ask: Did I win the naming contest of yours? If not, who did?

I suggest you head on over to that thread and pick a winner before the rate goes much higher. If not one is picked within ~24 hours, I personally will request a scammer tag for your scammy ass rockso account.

If now you really don't like me, let's meet up and discuss it over a brewsky. I'm in Sandwich, IL, only about 50 miles away. You pick the joint, but I prefer...

Form googlemail directly? I can not believe that.. Who in their right mind would do that?

There are other options: "Google Toolbar", Chrome.. but it does not matter.

Google indexes stuff that people publish, it does not do black magic.

Google know about 1560 URLs (by screenshot)
For safety reasons, he showed you only the first 170, but there are other ways to get those links.

But the problem is not in Google. The problem is that even Google can find a lot of URLs.
What you don't understand is that simply visiting the root of the instawallet site (and Torwallet too) redirects you to a new virgin wallet without clicking any buttons. When this happens, the URL changes, so Google indexes a new URL each time, because it doesn't understand what happened and it thinks that there is new content to be shown to search users. IT CANNOT AND WILL NOT DISCOVER EXISTING URLS UNLESS THEY ARE SPECIFICALLY PUBLISHED.

And that BS about Gmail was retarded, they don't index or publish your mail, they just scan it for keywords to provide relevant advertising.

Apologies for the quick aside in re. bold. (was redirected to this thread via another)

I stay logged into my main Google email account that I only use of barn wood sale purposes. Two days ago Google sent me an email to suggest 6 friends for a Google+ account I don't own, nor have one in some other name.

The suggestions consisted of 3 Bitcoin entities (one, a real person), 2 loosely connected Bitcoin related entities, and the valedictorian of my 1978 high school class who now lives in Hershey, PA, whom which I haven't seen, nor contacted him in 35 years, but he is the vice president of a major insurance concern. Nor have I ever Googled his name.

The only name I have ever used in my email correspondence is my real first name, Bruno--no last name.

Now, somebody tell me how that's even possible from gleaning words from an email account that its sole purpose for setting up was to buy and sell century-old, rotten, musty smelling, worm infested barn wood.
10131  Other / Off-topic / Re: So, would you buy this? on: March 28, 2013, 03:20:19 PM
How much are you paying?

I'm not paying anything. I just made it on one of those "make a tshirt" sites. The link to the shirt buying area is directly below the image.  Undecided

Oh... then, no.

I though you were paying for advertising.

Yeah that.

I never could figure out why people wear clothing that advertises stuff, without getting paid to do it.

Try buying a new car without the dealership's sticker/emblem or a license plate holder with their advertising on it.

That makes sense, since they're next door to each other, they would use the same style of soup kettle. Damn shame, though, that they stole the idea from Psytoshi's kinfolk.

I just witnessed the same this morning, but this time it was a starling feeding a male cardinal. Again, no idea what the sex of the starling was, nor did I see a worm this time, but it was something picked from the ground. Also, the cardinal was much further away and had to almost fly to the starling upon hearing it call.

I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but the male cardinal has a very bright red breast.

Weird!

Full Disclosure: I'm not trolling, but the birds may be trolling me.

SSL encryption, makes it impossible to compromise a wallet by sniffing traffic between the client and the server.

Isn't it true that several certificate authorities have had their signing certificates stolen, meaning that it's possible for attackers to initiate man-in-the-middle attacks on SSL sites without alerting the end user?  I don't know the details, but I'm sure I've read in several places that SSL isn't particularly secure given the number of CAs that most browsers trust by default.

Welcome to World Coins Online web-site! First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Ilya Avrutskiy, I have been collecting, buying and selling world coins for almost 25 years. I specialize in U.S. Saint Gaudens gold $20 dollars and German States gold coins. But most of all I like coins from Russia (gold, silver and copper). You will find a wide selection of U.S., German and Russian coins graded by a third party grading service (NGC or PCGS) on the web site.

I've yet to check, but I wonder if any users here have, or still are selling, Russian coins on this forum.

Guessing his age: 25 + 18 + 11 = 54.

Probably was born ~1970, making him ~43.

Yet, in 2001, he was buying and selling world coins for almost 25 years. 2001 - 24 = 1977, which would make him 7-8 years old, but no order than 10 when he starting trading coins worldwide--before the internet.

FYI: College of Telecommunications is located in Bulgaria.

@davout

I trust your site, but allow me to play Devil's advocate.

Could a scammer do somthing similar to the following?

He meets his mark at Starbucks where one of his comrades has already sat up a URL sniffer. He has the mark whose new to the Bitcoin scene go to instawallet.org. A new wallet it generate. Money and bitcoins change hands.

A wise scammer would wait several days before attempting to steal back the funds with the hope that more would be in it now that the mark feels comfortable using the system, being too lazy to get another IW or exploring another client.

If I lived in Chicago and my name were Rockso, this is what I would attempt.

1) Shave your head
2) Find a cat
3) Put cat on your head
4) Take picture
5) Post picture
6) HuhHuh? (maybe buy bitcoin)
7) Profit

1) Shave your cat.
2) Stick your head under the cat's tail.
3) Have a female family member take a picture.
4) Post picture.
5) Don't answer the door, for it's ASPCA.
6) Tell 'em the photo was shopped, and that's the way you found the cat.
7) In jail, there are no shoes.

What if a person sets up an RSS feed from Google, informing him each time the phrase "instawallet.org/w" is indexed? All the person would have to do is check the complete URL to see if it's funded.

I'm sure there are, or will be, people who'll think they're protected, posting the URL to their InstaWallet on some public domain.
