I'm a software developer that is interested in creating some services for BitCoin.  Been doing a lot of digging into different bits of code.

Welcome developers are great to have around, you should be able to make some decent money.

1227  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What happens once mining reward gets cut in half? on: September 22, 2012, 04:49:38 PM
I think when it halfs we will see a large drop in difficulty, for the simple reason is people feel it will not be worth it. The large miners will stick around while the smaller ones just go off and sell there equipment cheep. As for the next gen hardware...... I think Nov is the earliest, why? Cause the C.E.O slipped up and said in a post yesterday 6 more weeks. Count 6 from yesterday....... Nov, 2nd would be the time frame.

What a lame debate. All we have to do is wait six weeks. If they ship it, apologize. If they don't, you can whine and complain and do whatever you guys do.

True but 6 weeks from today would put them in NOV.... and thats already past due...
1232  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Butterfly Labs CEO 25 Million USD Mail Fraud — A Concise Summary of Evidence on: September 22, 2012, 03:30:00 AM
Request information on the whereabouts of the paroled inmate through the United States Department of Justice. The FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) provides access to the records that you will need, as long as the right information is provided and there are no security reasons preventing their release. Write "Freedom of Information Act Request" on the envelope and provide a reason for the information you are seeking and the details of the paroled inmate

If anyone has a stamp lol
1233  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Butterfly Labs CEO 25 Million USD Mail Fraud — A Concise Summary of Evidence on: September 22, 2012, 03:08:15 AM
Why would they not give it? Someone could submit a request and get it at any time, its public information.

Yeah, I'm having a hard time writing them off as a scam, even in the face of previous grievous altercations.

For most legitimate businesses this usually works the other way around, customers have too easy a time writing them off even for no good reason.

I tried finding information about the london conf, pictures, video, anything... and failed.
Would have been nice to see some lousy cell phone vid of the jalapeno... but that kind of stuff is very hard to do for non-techy folks like bitcoin users.

It's still not clear anyone actually involved in bitcoin was actually there.

whoa whoa whoa, back the forum train up a bit here.  What the fuck are any of you in the last 1.5 pages talking about?!  There was some conference and he was there in person?  They showed up with an ASIC miner and auctioned it off?!  They just literally said 2 days ago that they aren't finished and they don't have a single working ASIC miner in their company's hands.  They assured everyone of this.  So they showed up at some alleged conference that someone posted about out on nowhere and not 1 single person took a photo? Not one single Bitcoin Talk forum member who attended this huge, elaborate, epic event owns a cell phone with a camera or thought it was worth snapping a photo?  Do you fake ass forum members posting all this pretend bullshit really believe anyone to believe it?  Mods, get out the ban hammer hard.  That or some of you better start explaining

WHAT

THE

FUCK

Are any of you talking(/lying?) about?!?!?!

I lolled.

...And yes, there was a conference, a few hundred people attended including some top dev's and pool operators...

Were they real people or just virtual sock puppets?


They were ven developers.

Posting this here, as the thread was voted into invisibility on /r/bitcoin:

Quote from: pirateatbfl
It has been demonstrated that BFL Single is a pair of Altera EP3SL150F780 chips.

This chip is no longer manufactured, and the official price from digikey, Altera's authorized distributor, is $2,184.99 per chip.

That's almost $4,400 per board just for the chips.

Obviously since the single sells for $600 they are not paying anything close to full price for these chips. But since they are no longer manufactured there is a finite supply, and with the huge demand they surely can see that the End Is Near for the Altera-based product line.

So now it fits together: they aren't ruining a good thing -- the good thing is over whether they like it or not.

They have run out of cheap chips. Without the insane more-than-5x cost advantage over the competition they can't compete anymore, so they pretty much have to close up shop.

But wait.

If you have to close up shop anyways, why not go out with a bang? Especially when you have an experienced fraudster running the company? The company is toast without the cheap chips anyways, so why not run off with a pile of preorder cash? Better yet, tell the people you sold product to that they can send the boards back as part of a "trade in". Remember, there are no more cheap chips, so the supply of these boards is about to get cut off. And mining boards turn electricity into anonymous, untraceable cash, so running off with them is about as safe as running off with BTC.

You may or may not believe their ASIC announcement is a scam, but either way the claim that "oh they have so much to lose by scamming people why would they do that" doesn't hold water. Their existing product line has a fixed lifespan -- ASIC or not.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1084b1/why_would_bfl_turn_a_good_thing_into_a_scam/

So wait, they never made FPGAs?



I dont feel like choppin up quotes on a tab.

I meant if they had a jally at the london conf why cannot i seem to find pics, vid, or someone posting they were amazed by it?

Thats a great point about the pics, that would be the prime place to show it right? I was not going one way or the other but I am slowly leaning against them.


Three quick questions, you know, in the interest of transparency and all:

Is Sonny Cris Vleisides the founder of BFL?
What is the contact information of his parole officer?
What is your response to the following:

1. The very specific answer to your question is no. I don't expect you to be satisfied with this answer, but it's what you get.
2. You have got to be joking, right?


There should be better answers then this......

Ok that makes sense, just looked funny. I had not read the other threads with the info in it. But why would he only mine with them sometimes? Whats with the increase and drops in hashrate, if he is mining for someone, Would he not keep it on 24/7?
1238  Other / Off-topic / Re: TOWN HALL (prep) Meeting: Butterfly Labs on: September 21, 2012, 08:49:37 PM


Q. You are going to have an unfair advantage when it comes to mining equipment, you’ll be able to get as much as you want before anyone else!
 A. I will not be expanding my mining footprint as it would be a conflict of interest.  I will continue with my current obligations and already acquired/paid for equipment but will not be purchasing or utilizing additional equipment as part of my mining operations.  This is one of the hardest changes I will be making, as I firmly believe there are plenty of opportunities in this space that I am going to be missing out on, but I believe I can do more good for the bitcoin community as a whole working to provide that equipment to people as opposed to using it myself.


Just saying... should stick to the plan man... it looks bad to keep your word.

Don't look like your missing out lol

He said he would not use butterfly labs to his advantage as a miner? or did I read that wrong? Or did he get rich?
