ASICMINER with a spelling error?

That would be sic [sic] if that's the answer.

I'm looking at something different.

Complete this sequence:

AKMNR ...

Sorry, no correct answers yet.  wah wah wah.

Big Hint #2 - The answer wouldn't be different if I used lower case letters instead of upper case, but the clue would only be one letter!

I may not be able to solve it, but I'll happily contribute to crowdsourcing the solution.

Considering the latest clues, visualize from which one of the following is most logical.

akmnrb

akmnrc

akmnrd

akmnre

akmnrf

akmnrg

akmnrh

akmnri

akmnrj

akmnrl

akmnro

akmnrp

akmnrq

akmnrs

akmnrt

akmnru

akmnrv

akmnrw

akmnrx

akmnry

akmnrz

I excluded a, k, m, n, and r in the above list, but here they are in case the sequence has repeated letters, which I believe we can exclude nonetheless.

akmnra

akmnrk

akmnrm

akmnrn

akmnrr

This is almost like I think Phinnaeus Gage thought it up! Excellent!

Then, armed with shovels and backhoes, the group, called Broadband for the Rural North, or B4RN (it's pronounced 'barn'), began digging the first of what will be approximately 180,000 meters of trenches and filling them with fiber-optic cable, all on its own."

Actually, I started FPGA for the Rural Miners, or F4RM (it's pronounced 'farm').

I confirm this transaction. I just PM'd deeplink the same, also stating that he can see a copy of the receipt at any time.

I'm glad to be a part of this endeavor and hope to see it through fruition. I also look forward to helping him in what ever way possible to keep this a goin'.

Sure, it mimics the Red Paperclip idea, among a myriad of its clones, but this would be the first time an attempt is made starting with, and possibly the continue use of a crypto-currency, namely Bitcoin, throughout this endeavor.

Damn! I owe this guy $1,000 and have to pay him back with BTC which has increased in valued since his pre-order date. This sucks!

That just means Tom has to buy less Bitcoins to pay him back.  $1,000 worth of BTC is $1,000 worth of BTC regardless of whether the exchange rate is USD 1 or USD 50.  

I know that, but was implying Tom was claiming elsewise.

Is it safe to assume it's a letter?

I'm guessing it's a renown list of sorts, with the letters representing the first letter of the word on the list.

I too enjoy counting microscopic transistors from fuzzy photos. My worry is that I only count about 3 million transistors, even with conservative estimates it would take at least twice that to do any hashing.

Fact is stranger than fiction. Some of us--not saying who--actually counted the full chips on the wafers. The jury is in and happy to report that they're all there, plus.

From CablePair in Oct '12:
How much you want to bet the "investor" took no loss on this business venture and was paid back his investment before customers were paid back their money.  If there was really an investor and they weren't stupid they probably had a contract written up and it said something like, "If Tom is an idiot and can't get this done I have recourse to get my money back from his hide."  Maybe he even put his house up.

i am under the impression this is what Agath did... he had a written contract -Tom knew he goose would be cooked faster than shit, if he didnt refund this guy.

And a family of six ate goose and other delicacies while those wanting for a refund eat spam.

Quote
Then Tom cant make excuse of "having to buy back at $30" as you said USD amount doesnt change.

What can we expect from the lowlife scum tho.....

+1

Damn! I owe this guy $1,000 and have to pay him back with BTC which has increased in valued since his pre-order date. This sucks!

Now, I'm only goin' to state this one last time. Follow the coins. There was a big chunk of BTC still available when Tom quite paying out refunds in Jan/early Feb(?). Then he started to move those funds. I've traced a few of them to wallets with 10K+ coins in them sitting idle.

Is Kano on Australian Welfare?

http://www.humanservices.gov.au/customer/information/centrelink-website

Now I am not "base" enough to joke about that (cause soon most of us will be on welfare in one way or another as economies of scale deteriorate), but now I understand the rest as it comes into focus if this is the case.

Not necessarily.  Centrelink administers income support payments but it also administers payments for children, which are received by many families who are not "low income" by most definitions (it's complex to explain how this works, but depending on whether or not both parents are working and the number of children, these payments don't totally cut out until the family income is somewhere between $90,000 and $150,000 pa).

Going on a short overseas trips is only an issue for people whose payments are conditional on some kind of activity - such as looking for work.

Kano did mention that he has a medical issue. I'm guessing that that's what the card would be for.

The only reason they look similar to BFL's wafer is because they probably came from the same FAB.

Does BFL truly have $25 MILLION in pre orders?

Micon pulled that number from.... somewhere no one knows. And Internet being what it is it keeps getting repeated. I'd seriously doubt they reached 10% of that number. Note that my guesstimate is pulled from .... somewhere no one should want to know..

At one time I, too, espoused the 10M to 20M figures floating around, but scaled back to the 3M mark. But, I'm now leaning a little bit higher considering Tom at bASIC claimed to refunded 1M to date with more to go. I believe that BFL should be about 10X bigger than Tom's mom-and-pop-and-son shop.
