I learnt that I can still shovel snow a ~week before my 53rd birthday. 3" last night, and the first time this year I had to use a shovel. Twice this winter I've used a broom and have used only 2 bags of salt purchased two years ago, for I didn't even need the surplus from then last winter. Up to three weeks ago, our grass was still green, but now it's tan. The lilacs were ready to pop buds a couple days ago. Got to blame it on the ASIC not being delivered on time causing all this warming.  |

The following video depicts shipping one of those super-duper neodymium magnets: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zO9nWgI_LYSomebody explain to me how that's possible considering that every electrical device it sets near could be ruined. Would you place your laptop next to any size common magnet? In my next post to this thread, I'm going to list 9 books for deeplink to choose from. |

My sister works for an outfit (Rassah knows which one) that ships products to convenience stores like 7-11. She recently got promoted from being on the floor to an office-type position scheduling the fleet of drivers. I asked her how many emails she handles a day in that capacity. She said 2-3 hundred, of which she said she could handle more, for she's bored shitless and prefers to be back on the floor where it's more challenging, albeit pays less.
I asked her how she does it, and she said it's easy. I answer all that I know the answer to, and the ones I don't, I know which person should know the answer and pass the email to them. She also said a couple times she's sent to an incorrect person, but they relayed the email to correct department to make sure the concern is addressed properly.
And my sister's an idiot! Not in the derogatory sense, but knowing her command of the English language, making the classical mistakes we've all seen here (allot, their/there/they're, etc.). Yet, she handles the position well enough, allowing the system to function properly. Out of the pool of people wanting the position, she was the most qualified.
Now, if I'm not mistaken, there's no less than 6 people doing customer service at BFL. 500 emails a day divided by 6 people is... Divide that by 8 hours, and you have...
Again, not a diss, and did not take the time to proofread this post.

You can also write a generic email for certain types of common queries and mail merge it - so you can literally reply to 100s of emails with the same type of query at the same time (the program fills in user-specific data). This allows you plenty of time to write individual responses to the few emails which actually need them. I just asked my sister if she uses generic responses, and she asked me...wait for it...what are generic responses? I told you! (see main post above) After I briefly explained to her what they were, she seemed to agree that that could work, but most the time the questions and concerns consist of unique situations, therefore she's forced to respond to them personally. BTW, she does this task while using the phone when talking to drivers and vendors. And she's still bored shitless. She's planning on taking some craft project to work with her so she can work on it during the free time. Apologies for the aside above, and now the following. She asked a co-worker if there's anything else she could do in the office. The co-worker who does half the amount of work and gets paid more than my sister (assumed, due to position) told her no and to keep her mouth shut. |

Hello. My name is Richard, I have lurked around bitcointalk for a while now, and i decided to register a few days ago. I want some professional opinions from people of what they think of the new service i am setting up. I am setting up a service that allows people to buy web hosting for bitcoins, its a one time payment, and then you get the account forever, until you decide to cancel it. I have purchased servers, and its all set up, i just need to finish off the website. I'm looking for some opinions, you can be harsh, honesty is preferred, i plan to make a really GOOD go of this, and i want it to be as professional as possible. Here is the website: http://111webhosting.info Please keep in mind i have years of experience with the web hosting industry, and its a great interest of mine. Also, keep in mind that the website is no were near finished, i still have alot to do, and i'm really busy with it.. Please test out the payment gateway to by clicking the pay with bitcoin button on the order page, i would like opinions on that to. FIRE! You can also ask me questions about it if you like. I'm having a hard time, Mr. Mawdsley, believing you've been in the web hosting industry for years, considering: http://forum.youhosting.com/search-posts-user964.html |

And what about my doubling of value offer?
Thanks Phinn for your generous offer! I am considering it very hard and it is the best offer so far. Will you let us know which books we are talking about? And I have a request, would you sign it? I mean, having the highest post count (and possibly the strangest sense of humor  on bitcointalk does make you kind of a celebrity  I love your posts by the way. Why don't you just go and fuck yourself? Do you have any idea as to how many times I F5'd this broken-down laptop waiting for this half-ass reply? I could have been entertaining my shadow goats. That said, I'll get the list up shortly. Later, bud. ~Bruno K~ |

Goodluck even renting a night in a japanese sleeper pod for 1btc
jack, I'm not trying to buy a house for 1 BTC at once but trade for bigger and better things. We'll see how it goes. See One Red Paperclip where I got the idea  Perhaps the fastest and easiest way to the house is to just hold onto that one coin for a while... You may be right, but this is much more fun isn't it And what about my doubling of value offer? |

If you're serious, then I have an offer that may be hard to turn down. It'll even include free shipping. I'll offer you a choice of three books proven to each have a value over $60 USD. You pick the book. I'll even ship first with confirmation and insurance (hopefully you're in the US), whereupon after you receive it, I'll expect payment.
You game? I'm assuming this'll be the best first offer.

I'm a first batch Avalon buyer in China, purchased RMB via taobao / alipay.
Avalon sent the machine on Feb 18 & I got my first machine (*: my order is 3 machines) on Feb 20 and it hashes well on HHTT.
The first buyer in China got his machine afternoon or evening on Feb 18 (+0800) I think. Mine delayed for 2 days.
Currently even someone in China get their Avalon (5 is confirmed including mine, no more than 10) in their hands, they each has only ONE machine delivered no matter how many are ordered. Avalon planned to ship the remaining at the end of Feb.
Here is some unordered summaries & notices that may help you prepare.
You may ask other related questions & I'll try hard to answer.
Tip will be appreciated: 1HFhtvzNEiy9eooLSJRMyZ1XB2FXgYGvCH
About the system:
1 the embedded wr703n is MEM modded.
original 703n is 32M mem, it has been modded to 64M. but no flash mod. flash size is 4M, the same as original.
those who would like to have ipv6 may become disappointed. may have to use another machine & connect via USB.
(if you prepare to do so, longer USB A-to-B type cable & teardown is required)
2 the miner is cgminer 2.10.5, should be the same as the git tree. it should have no memory leak bug (for stratum).
3 fan control is a little buggy, should be fixed by xiangfu soon (already in tree).
4 the jffs2 partition is so small (320k) & can only hold config files.
that means cant upgrade cgminer via jffs2 unless done firmware repackaging. cgminer is installed in squashfs.
5 default IP is 192.168.0.100/24, gateway 192.168.0.1 (you may have known)
About the packaging & machine:
1 package include a power cable, an wifi antenna (SMA connector, gain is 5dBi I think) and the machine it self.
2 no instruction included (hopefully yours may include one).
3 to teardown the box, use Hex Key of size M4.0. your fingers may get hurt, put on gloves first.
4 the USB cable may get dropped from the board during shipping, make sure there is a blue light on the 703n board when powered on, or you will be in trouble...
5 there is an USB hub included, unopened 3M double-sided tape pasted on the back of the hub.
6 the PSU is Antec EA-650 Green (80P Bronze, not the Platinum one)
About running:
1 you may wish to move all the 3 modules to the left, can lower the temperature about 3 degree.
aware: this may increase the difficulty of installing the 4th module (if released in the future).
2 64300-64500 MHash/s measured by work units, 67000 MHash/s displayed by default.
3 HW Error about 0.55% ~ 0.65% @ 282. ~0.75% @ overclocking to 300. hashrate increase by 5% if overclocked.
I recommend not touch the last 45 in the options.
when do overclocking, there are some duplicated shares appeared, not sure it is cgminer or HW's fault.
4 please DO preconfigure the diff of ALL the pools (including the backup ones), var diff may slow down the machine at first until the diff is adjusted.
5 fans must remain 2000 RPM/min to keep the heat out.
with optimized fan control, fan2 is 2640, fan3 is 2280 while temp is 46 deg (incoming air is 28 deg measured by temp1).
the noise level is comparable to a multi GPU cluster with 60-70% fan. I dont have a measure device to get the exact number.
6 there is no thermal grease between the bottom of the heat sink (of the modules) and the upside of bottom aluminium board (& it is a little hot).
you may wish to mod them and do some work outside the machine to cool down the downside of bottom board.
Note: I may update the main thread for updates.
Quoted from above: Currently even someone in China get their Avalon (5 is confirmed including mine, no more than 10) in their hands, they each has only ONE machine delivered no matter how many are ordered. Doesn't that negate the following?: (in yellow)................ and everything will be clear then.
This includes also, that the other customers will know when they get their units? Currently you would have sent about 108 units! Ah actually, this is probably something I should update, the original plan is to assemble one and send one, of course this isn't working out, we currently have sent a batch of 53 to a different route, as it currently stands, this 53 has the biggest chance to make it out of the country, then we can attempt again if the news make it back to us before Feb 2. which is the deadline for getting things out of the country before CNY. Honestly, this is probably something we underestimated and I'd like to personally apologize for having similarity with BFL, it is so pathetic. Then again though, since we did originally promise to ship everything out before Feb ends I don't really see a problem with this. As for new information, we are still dealing with the custom issues I've previously mentioned, but Jeff should receive his units within this week, and everything will be clear then. You seriously believe that shipping one unit to one customer will make you earn 750k$ in preorders? During the weekend, maybe? Dude, It is up to us. He has nothing to believe in. We are the ones to decide if he will get 750K or zero. From what i see here the answer is yes he will sell 500 batch in 20 mins max if the site does not hang:) Let me refresh your memory first batch 300 units was sold for less than 20 minutes or so even though Avalon was about three mounts behind from shipping compared to BTCFPGA and BFL promises Couldn't have said it better myself, I'm writing up the batch #2 pre-sale thread right now. |

I remember in the mid 80's sitting at a restaurant table with some dude, me showing him the math/physics on a napkin the minimum amount of thrust needed to put a salt shaker into a Clark obit. Sadly, today I would need the help of Google to complete the same task.
In high school, I aced every single math test I've ever taken with the exception of the very last one. I made a one variable (maybe it was a constant) error due to racing the test to finish before the Valedictorian. I won the race, but at said cost.
Mathematics is the classification and study of all possible patterns.

I'm sure that if Satoshi had the need to inject some valuable input, he would contact Gavin. And, who's to say he hasn't done such already.
Ahh, that is nice heart warming thought  I hope Satoshi isn't dead or locked away. His disappearance was a bit sudden wasn't it? They are busy, that's all. A wise vendor one said, "No news is good news!" |
