1221  Economy / Securities / Re: {Bakewell} Get an equitable stake in a transparent & growing mining company on: October 29, 2012, 08:45:19 PM
Based on the GLBSE trade history available in
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=117491.0

we can see that there were a total of 52 trades of BAKEWELL, for the total of 610 shares worth 91.03 coins. Note that trade history file does not include private transfers. Out of these 610 shares, only 54 were traded below BTC0.15, for the total value of BTC7.63.  I'd say even if we don't get info from GLBSE, it won't be hard to figure out ownership based on what everyone claims. Many people, I am sure, will have some kind of personal ledger they've kept, and the rest can be calculated, as it all needs to add up.
1222  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Finally photos of real BFL Single SC and Jalapeno ASICs on: October 29, 2012, 03:12:00 PM
Fact BFL posted these fake pictures of a product they have not made yet.
Pictures seemed genuine to me. They never claimed they made the product, they are still making it. I haven't ordered from them mostly because I don't want to do business with people like Sonny (a scammer who still defends his own scams), Nasser (who is defending and justifying Sonny's past scams in a rather pathetic mannner), and Josh (who is disrespectful and derails threads). Still, I don't understand why you are so negative and make misleading statements about these pictures.
 They have delivered before, they are trying to deliver again. They don't seem to give shit about Bitcoin and the community, and they will try to suck most money out of suckers while delivering the minimum, but they will deliver.

Now the idiots can have thier bank accounts cleaned out when this site vanishes with all the depositors funds.

A fool and his money...........

Looking through your recent posts, I wonder if they are all simple self-reflections...  Try to relax, keep your coins safe, and then try to actually contribute something useful to this forum. A piece of code, curated data, data analysis, comments on trends, good questions, insights - things of that sort. Also, stop making claims without doing research.
1224  Economy / Securities / Re: {Bakewell} Get an equitable stake in a transparent & growing mining company on: October 28, 2012, 10:39:22 PM
How is it going?  No word from GLBSE yet.  I would be comfortable waiting a bit more before trying to reconstruct everyone's stake based on initial transfers and published history of trades. In the meantime - we are hashing, aren't we?

Could be that this list is even incomplete, but most are probably listed there.

Thanks, that's the kind of list that I was looking for.


While at it, please update the Wiki if it turns the business no longer exists or is not accepting bitcoins.

I see bid and ask orders but the depth chart isn't showing any of them:

The depth chart will start working once there are a couple of bids/asks.

Yup, that's now showing.

What's needed next is the bcGBP ticker on BitcoinCharts

Adam enters the store, buys some candy, and pays with cash. He walks out, runs into a buddy, they go for coffee in the local cofffee shop. At the register his buddy pulls out the phone, fires up Bitcoin Spinner 1.8, scans the qr code, and pays the bill (BTC0.05). Few hours later, Adam gets in the taxi, and - being happy with ride - pays bitcoins. Just tap his NFC phone against the driver's phone, and he is done. Both Adam and his friend received receipts for their purchases denominated in the local currency.

 He gets home, and refills his phone wallet from the dedicated savings wallet (based on Cranberry Pi). He also sends to his daughter - who studies abroad - coins for the next few months, which she will mostly exchange into local currency, and small part of it she will spend directly online. Where she is, Bitcoin hasn't really caught up yet.

So did I miss Inaba addressing my reasonable request for an operating address update somewhere in the text of his responses to the accusatorial postings of PuertoLibre? At least I can now remove losing track of this thread as a possible reason for not replying.

1229  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: A service I'd like to use if it existed on: October 27, 2012, 06:36:40 PM
One bitcoin-funded debit cards become available my need to hold dollars in a bank account will be virtually eliminated. If I wanted to I could could convert up to 100% of my traditional income into bitcoins but presently this would require a fair amount of manual intervention.

What I would like to see is a service that assigns me a routing number and account number which I can then give to my employer for direct deposit deposit purposes. Then I'd like for any dollars that are sent to that account converted to bitcoins at a reasonable exchange rate and sent to me.

This can't be difficult technically - are there any laws or regulations that would make it impractical? If not, it would make sense for the payment processing companies especially to consider offering such a service. If a payment processor can get some of the dollars it needs to pay merchants directly from other customers instead of from an exchange it would be result in lower costs for everyone involved.
What would you gain from such an arrangement?  Bitcoin would simply be a  intermediary, added burden, etc. 
What I need is more businesses accepting btc directly.

1231  Economy / Securities / Re: ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It on: October 27, 2012, 03:42:39 PM
11 days until friedcats non optimistic estimation for when the producer delivers the hardware. That would be on november the 6th. If he was right soon the hashrates will rise... Smiley Though we can collect the earnings only after this asset-mess is cleared. I wonder what nefario is doing the last time...

An update would be awesome! Smiley

Have you seen the network hashrate in past few days? It almost looks like someone is testing their little ASIC farm. Smiley





Avalon and Reclaimer are still in the early phase. According to their official statements, both bASIC and BFL are still in the fab, not even packaged yet. Either one of them is lying, or this is simply increase in GPU/FPGA power, or there is a private ASIC project.
1232  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: How can blockchain.info use the MtGox yubikey? on: October 27, 2012, 03:36:42 PM
Using MtGox yubi anywhere but on MtGox login page generates OTPs that MtGox hasn't seen yet. Anyone with a keylogger runni g on your machine can reuse any of these OTPs on MtGox. Anything that was generated after your last legitimate login to MtGox will work for the next login.
Therefore, do not use your MtGox yubi anywhere else (including playing in Notepad), unless that other party has some kind of official deal with MtGox to burn OTPs after use (to increase the counter).
1233  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why? on: October 27, 2012, 03:21:47 PM
Definitely, Cheap bitcoins! There is strong evidence that this is last chance before halving. Look at RSI. I hnow it is just a friday. But we are getting near end.
Exactly my thoughts; I have no idea what the sellers are doing a month before a halving but I will take it - paycheck coming in in ~4 days Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

I will eat my words if the price does not climb at least 50% during December/January.

I have just started using BTC instead of Western Union and its both easier and cheaper - even if the price dropped to 0.01 I would still be using this stuff. So yeah I'm not worried about BTCs value or adoption rates.
Same in here. I can and I do use Bitcoin network. It saves me money and time, compared to international wires or WU.  Volatility is even good, as I can usually afford to wait a day or two for a good arbitrage opportunity between the two markets (in my case CAD/USD). Sure, I've got a few coins in my savings and investments, but that's a long-term game based on my assesment of long-term chances of Bitcoin going "big". Again, no problem with short-term swings, panic-sells, and pump'n'dump episodes.

No, we are waiting on our ASIC chips right now, as I've stated in a number of other places, though it's understandable if you have missed the posts, since they are spread out everywhere.

The bASIC ASICs are already taped out from the wafer...
You mean wafers are diced, and devices ready for packaging? I wasn't following bASIC recently, that's quite impressive pace if true.
1236  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Is a nodes connection map feasible? on: October 26, 2012, 07:15:29 PM
A node connection map is an interesting idea. At first glance it would appear impossible, but it could be done.

It would be possible if there was software that individuals would be willing to run on their local machine. The software would pull the peers from the bitcoind client and then report the peers to a central server.

Another seemingly impossible idea was tracking all boat traffic in a given area. Look at http://marinetraffic.com/ais/.

marinetraffic.com is possible because there are land based receiving stations that relay the ship's AIS information to the internet. It's a similar approach to the problem.



This is an important idea. IPs will be collected anyway by private parties or government agencies, for various reasons. Providing a publicly accessible, open-sourced service would at least eliminate unfair advantage of such parties over others by making the information public.
1237  Other / Off-topic / Re: Already delays in BFL shipment plans? on: October 26, 2012, 07:09:09 PM
You forgot 4) use the rig you paid for to mine a little bit, on the main net, under pretense of testing.

Quit trolling, that issue is pretty much dead and buried. There have been statements from all the manufacturers (except ASICMINER who have a different model) that they will be using either Testnet in a box (bASIC, BFL) or custom testing software (ngzhang)

I agree, there will always be some chance that some mainnet mining could happen and we would never know, but that would be a direct contradiction of public statements that would serve as grounds for a lawsuit IRL.

I remembered the threads from about a month ago where BFL were avoiding to commit to not "test" on the mainnet. Before posting this response, I checked the BFL website (found nothing), and their forums, where I found their statement that they won't be testing on mainnet:   https://forums.butterflylabs.com/showthread.php/52-ASIC-Pre-Shipment-Testing-Policy
I apologize for posting based on old information. I was not trying to troll.
1238  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Real life bitcoin scenario for non-bitcoiners on: October 26, 2012, 06:30:25 PM
to spread bitcoins i am doing this:

i borrow small amounts of money at bars from people i know,
i then send them the same day that money in form of bitcoins + a little tip + instructions
Would you please share those instructions with us here? To me this turned out to be the sticking point.
1239  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why? on: October 26, 2012, 06:15:48 PM
Because bitcoin economy is relatively small, and prone to manipulation by few big players. Like it or not, bitcoin is an easy target for pump-and-dump.
1240  Other / Off-topic / Re: Already delays in BFL shipment plans? on: October 26, 2012, 06:11:02 PM
Before I blow a gasket from reading the FUCKING STUPIDITY ignorance on this thread, let me set something straight:

1) A "fab house" or "fab" does NOT assemble boards.  They make chips.  That's it.  A "lot" or batch of chips takes somewhere between 4 and 10 weeks depending on the "process" (130nm, 65nm, 22nm, etc.) and how much the customer is willing to spend.  According to Josh, they have paid the maximum for their fab to get them out ASAP.  IF they are in 65nm process, I think this should be roughly 6 to 8 weeks - depending on which fab they are using.

2) Chips and other components are soldered onto boards at an "assembly house".

3) After BFL gets the "assembled" boards from the external assembly house (or done in-house in the near future), then they finish putting it together with heatsink and metal box then ship it out.

So go back and read the posts in this thread with the above in mind.

Disclaimer:
I have ordered a BFL SC Single.
I have ordered a 54Gh/s bASIC.
(I bought a ticket for each of the horses to win.  Grin )

You forgot 4) use the rig you paid for to mine a little bit, on the main net, under pretense of testing.
