Your right, but what is needed is an instant pay type of system for fiat to btc.

What waiting 3-5 banking business days for ACH sucks.

Is there any system that allows for instant purchase of btc?

Edit:
I restarted bitminter client and all is working.



DrHaribo,
I just updated java to version 7 update 25, rebooted and the hashrate is not showing on the gui.

32 bit, Windows 7 Pro N, SP1
8 GB Ram
AMD Athlon II X3 450 CPU @ 3.60 GHz

Not terribly important but thought I would notify you of the issue.





Let me know if you would like any more system information.

Does that mean I can transfer my BTC from Coinbase to MtGox and sell from there instead?

I'm curious about this too.  Wouldn't it be a simple matter to buy BTC at coinbase.com for $103, transfer them to mtgox.com, and sell them there for $107?

yes but good luck getting your usd/fiat out

Sorry guys, back to reality - most important question now is: have they already ordered the chips? Do we have an ETA confirmed by the fab?

As titomane said a few posts ago, those fabs do not hurry up for any customer - lead time for the chips will be anything from 8 to 12 weeks, and we need to assume 12 weeks to be on the safe side. I know how that huge businesses work - if they need to delay your order, they do, and you just can't do anything about it. This happened to Avalon too, just check what he said on his conference talk.

If KnC did not place the order for the chips yet, that's something to be worried about.

Please Bitcoinorama use your direct access to them to ask:

- are the chips ordered?
- if yes, what is the ETA confirmed by the fab?
- if not, why? didn't they reach the funding goal they needed for the order? How far away are them to place the order?




We ever get an answer to this?HuhHuh?

KnC is not using avalon chips as far as I know.

Completely false but i guess you know it and you are just trolling.

oops!,
I was thinking of terrahash! my bad not trolling at all.

I would love to buy these and switch from gpu to asic but honestly, the price is just too high, I would buy 10 of these today around the $50 mark though if your willing.

You bought a large with only funds for 2 boards? That's interesting.

I signed up for hosting, but if I didn't do that, I'd probably build a lego case, and use a 420w corsair PSU

lego's ftw!

I just bought a couple of coins there recently as well. Does anyone know the reasons behind this discrepancy?

only thing i can think of at the moment is they are buying/selling from/to btc-e instead of mtgox, the price on btc-e is around 103 last i looked today.

I usually purchase from apmex, if you can beat their prices, delivery and customer service you may just have a client for life.

Pics and inventory would be nice.

Do they have a website?
Name of the company, address etc would be helpful as well.

South China Morning Post

EXCLUSIVE: US hacks Chinese mobile phone companies, steals SMS data: Edward Snowden
Saturday, 22 June, 2013, 9:52pm

The US government is stealing millions of text messages in their hacking attacks on major Chinese mobile phone companies, Edward Snowden has told the Post.

The US government is hacking Chinese mobile phone companies to steal millions of text messages, Edward Snowden has told the South China Morning Post. And the former National Security Agency contractor claims he has the evidence to prove it.

The former CIA technician and NSA contractor, hiding in Hong Kong after the US sought his arrest, made the claims after revealing to the Post that the NSA had snooped on targets in Hong Kong and on the mainland.

Edward Snowden. Photo: AP [1]“There’s far more than this,” Snowden said in an interview on June 12. “The NSA does all kinds of things like hack Chinese cell phone companies to steal all of your SMS data.”

Text messaging is the most preferred communication tool in mainland China, used widely by ordinary people and government officials from formal work exchanges to small chats.

Government data show that the Chinese exchanged almost 900 billion text messages in 2012 [2], up 2.1 per cent from the year before. China Mobile is the world’s largest mobile network carrier, with 735 million subscribers by the end of May. China Unicom, the second largest, has 258 million users. China Telecom comes in third with 172 million users.

Snowden’s leaks have rocked the international community for the past two weeks and fired up a debate about US government surveillance of citizens’ phone calls and internet browsing data without due cause.

For years, cybersecurity experts on the mainland have been concerned that telecommunications equipment was vulnerable to so-called “backdoor” attacks, taking advantage of foreign-made components. They have kept quiet because domestic hardware suppliers were still striving to catch up with their international competitors.

Now, as the likes of Huawei, Datang and ZTE dramatically improve their suite of products and the reliance on foreign-made parts has dropped, some experts with ties to Beijing have become more vocal.

President Fang Binxing of the Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. Photo: Xinhua [3]Fang Binxing, president at the Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications and widely believed to be the father of China’s “great firewall”, which restricts access to the web, told News China in October last year that foreign equipment was a serious threat to national security.

“China should set up a national information security review commission as soon as possible,” he said.

Telecom companies have started replacing foreign-made equipment.

China Unicom quietly replaced all Cisco routers at a key backbone hub in Wuxi, Jiangsu last year, according to the National Business Daily.

The changes are being kept quiet to avoid panic and embarrassment to the government, people in the industry say.

A series of reports based on documents provided by Snowden to The Guardian revealed how the US compelled telecommunications provider Verizon to hand over information about phone calls made by US citizens.

The leaked documents also revealed the Prism programme, which gave the US far-reaching access to internet browsing data from Google, Facebook, Apple, Skype, Yahoo and others.

The US and UK also had technology which gave them unauthorised access to Blackberry phones of delegates at two G20 summits in London in 2009, Snowden said.

The US government has defended its electronic surveillance programmes during congressional hearings with claims that up to 50 would-be terrorist attacks were foiled because of the intelligence gathered by the NSA.

US President Barack Obama says the NSA is not listening in on phone calls or reading emails unless legal requirements have been satisfied.

1078  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: wallet.dat renamed to ANY filename in ANY location for bitcond & bitcoin-qt on: June 22, 2013, 01:21:58 AM
Hello

I have submitted a small change to the GitHub Bitcoin Project that modifies 3 files.

bitcoind & bitcoin-qt will have wallet.dat behave exactly as before, or optionally the wallet file (wallet.dat) can now be any legal file name in your operating system, and it can be in any directory on any fixed or removable drive. This is done with an optional configuration argument:

walletpath=<full wallet file name>

This is in the same spirit as the conf option, which allows for a bitcoin.conf file anywhere and with any name.

Add a command line argument -walletpath=a:/b.c/d.e/f.g
or, in your bitcoin.conf file, add the line walletpath=a:/b.c/d.e/f.g

In either case, the wallet.dat file is now f.g in the d.e directory, etc.

This allows one to have various separate wallets for a single bitcoin program, as determined by the configuration  --OR--  one can have multiple versions of bitcoind and/or bitcoin-qt such that when each program runs, it uses the same wallet.

With this change, ONE block chain in the datadir directory can service multiple wallets.

Finally, walletpath can be just a file name, a partial path name or a full path name. And these can have spaces (blanks) in them if the whole argument is enclosed in quotes ("path name").

To summarize this allows wallet.dat to be named anything and located anywhere as determined by the user and separated from all blockchain data.

Ron

Wouldn't this open a vector to allow attackers to modify wallet.dat at any time?
I suggest that this command line arg require the password to be passed in for confirmation reasons, unless of course it already does, if so then forgive my ignorance.

Now that you have seen BTC breach a 1 billion $ market cap and beyond and the multitude of services, businesses and eco-system spring to life, what are your expectations going forward for 2014, 2015 and beyond.

I feel the eco-system is still very small, but I feel it is over crowed in two areas, gambling and merchant processing. I think going forward we are going to see more bitcoin sites disrupting areas that are screwing content creators, I would go into more detail but that is where my next company is focusing so I rather not so stay tuned Wink

2015 I will call it now $2 billion market cap.

Interesting that you only see a 100% growth rate in 2 years.

So you are selling a DX miner with 10 blades (180 Ghps) for ~$2,635?  Why would you sell it for ~$7,865 less than you paid for it?  What am I missing?

Good catch, must be a scam, or OP is a moron.
