Even their previous reasoning was implausible, 2 week turn around on a chip problem. It appears like their "correction" seeks to alleviate that portion of the wtf but then creates it's own implausibility 'We had working chips but even though people are clamoring for product we decided we could make them even better if we delay'.
"And our competitors are going to be late shipping too, so that excuses our delays". I'm curious about whether they're going to work through Christmas and New Year if the chips arrive mid-December. Josh is saying that the chips will be in hand in "a matter of days" once they're completed. I hope he's not under-estimating the time which packaging, shipping and customs clearance will take. <humor only> I believe Christmas and New Year is also a Minecraft holiday. |

Having a discussion with a friend and we are now trying to find places you could live really comfortably on $30 a day.
Anyone out there done a lot of travel? Lemme know where someone can make the most of their money.
In West Tennessee, I know of homes that rent for $200/mo and you're not that far from the nearest Walmart. If one's a smoker, than that's about a $300/mo habit, therefore it's best to not smoke or, for that matter, alcohol or drugs. Raise some chickens, rabbits, and goats, and hunt and fish. Bottom line is that it can be done here in the US. In fact, I was just informed the other day about a campground near me that rents space for only $200/month and that includes electric. Just park you trailer/RV and... Hmmmm! Sounds like a great place to set up a rig or three. |

One thing is for sure, for being a short message, all the letters of the English alphabet are used.

Portuguese: Moeda de Bits (A coin made of bits).
The plural is on me.
I call it Bitcoin and so does everyone I know. I must say it's a funny translation, though.  Estás a meter água... |

Maybe BitPay only has US banks, and thus transfers to Euros are prohibitively expensive?
From their site: https://bitpay.com/faqBitPay is available in every country, and you can set your prices in over 30 different currencies. |

Staus update for BUND Berlin e.V. (FOE Germany, Berlin branch): It's looking good - they'd be delighted to accept donations in Bitcoin and have opened an account with BitPay. However as they are not an US charity but one under German tax law BitPay has as of now classified them as normal merchants with a 4% fee to clear funds to their SEPA account. We're hoping to convince Bitpay to waive these fees. Once this is tackled things are looking pretty well! Maybe someone else can use their connection to BitPay? Other than that BUND Berlin is actively working on a webpage on their site for Bitcoin donations and will promote this accordingly once its ready and launched. Bitcoin100 can then donate to a 4th (?) charity - one with 14 000 active members and supporters in the Berlin area. This is their website http://www.bund-berlin.de/ (German only, but the bitcoin page coming up is supposed to be bi-lingual and will contain some aspects about the motivation to accept Bitcoin) Great job, jsmithers. There's always a solution, a wise man (or woman) once said. Ideally, I would still have BitPay be the entity converting bitcoins to fiat for them, charging them zero fees. The way they can do this is process it for them as normal, and sending me the bill. I'm not going to let 40/50 bucks stand in the way of not seeing this happen. The paramount vision of Bitcoin 100 is that no non-profits will have to pay a processing fee ever again, no matter how that task is accomplished. The 100 in Bitcoin 100 will stand for 100% of all fees waived--forever! (the wording will of course be polished, but you get the gist) ~Bruno K~ |

No, he is right, there are 27 groups. All he missed is what the /6 represented. Use the "DD" "YY" "KK" "EE" "GG" as line delimiters, string the groups together to make a line and you get 6 lines total, results in:

AOAKN could perhaps be combined with DYKEG somehow for the cipher... I'm going to ask Maria to work on this with her ASICs. |

I'm trying to compile a list of how is the word 'bitcoin' written in different languages used all over the world, if it differs from 'bitcoin' of course? Your input is highly appreciated.
Most of the time it is Bitcoin. Here's a site that translates Bitcoin into other languages: http://en.translatethings.com/b/i/t/bitcoin.html |

At least I agree with this: « He added that it would be a fun adventure to watch, even if you aren't planning on going yourself. » I'm not sure how far six million dollars would help SpaceX now, but assuming it would, their marketing director could consider pre-selling 1,000 seats now for the discounted price of only BTC500 (approximately $6,000 USD) each, with the following stipulations: - All pre-sales are non-refundable and can not be transferred to another party.
- Base on the exchange rate reaching $1,000 USD:BTC1 at least once, regardless of the exchange rate prior to launch(es).
- A seat will be reserved in only your name or one of your children (even if not yet born).
- Must be able to pass the required physical prior to your flight.
I'm sure a few other caveats can be added to the list, but you get the gist. Here's the best part for SpaceX. They can opt to sit on the coins and wait till the exchange rate doubles, thus having $12M USD to further fund their endeavor. The way they can help accelerate said doubling is by announcing their intentions, thus bringing more awareness to Bitcoin. Worse case scenario for all those who purchase tickets would be that they would have bragging rights for a long time, along with receiving possibly some perks from SpaceX. I'm pretty sure there's at least 1,000 people in the world that would love those bragging rights, coupled with having a slim chance of actually being able to journey to Mars at the greatly discounted price. ~Bruno K~ |

Correct! Now I'm going to tackle Meow's submission. I see some hashbrowns and currently leaning toward that Bloodhounds song. I think I got it: Bloodhound Gang: The Bad Touch |

Budapest then?
Winner, winner! Chicken dinner. I love that song. She bent down to fill the ice box
and stuffed some more warm white wine in
I thought I saw her at the late night restaurant.
She would have sent blue shivers down the wall.
Yes, and her legs went on for ever.
Like staring up at infinity
(well, you couldn't keep up on a hard track mile)
while she ran a perfect circle. One of my other submissions is also from The Tull. |

Of course that would never happen with Sandy, for they are using litecoins as floats. (possibly double entendre) |

^^^ Depends on who gets there first. If NASA or a coalition of governments, then our laws. If some corporation that is mainly interested in mining or operating a low G space depot, then whatever corporate law they use.
And the race is on!  |

Christmas song sung by that too old guy? Crap, I know the band, but I cannot figure out the song...  None of my submissions are Christmas tunes. |
