this one's a little more interesting:

While that's an interesting theory, here's a competing one:

The bomb knocked the timer down. It does seem to be hanging directly over where the explosion happened.

Another competing theory is that the two images are from two different races.

I will pass then. Obviously i have nothing to help with for the moment.

I might help with coding - cgminer hacks or whatever is needed. I would like to help with PIC also but it is completely new for me..



I think he chose the PIC32.  This has a MIPS core, the same as the SoC in the TP-Link 703n.

I recommend block bids from these 3 post count bidders, they are high risk non-paying bidder since they have nothing to lose, also it gives impression of shill bidding to the other bidders. I suggest a minimum post count of 50 to be able to bid here.
Sigh, I'll probably ask friedcat to require deposit for users <50 posts or something equivalent in future auctions. I'm trying to prevent shill/joy bidding here too - guess the state auctions have yet be in such situations then.  Roll Eyes

I have a link to an auction in my signature.  That auction requires a bid to an address, and I return losing bids.  That doesn't really eliminate all joy-bids, but it does cut out the ones who could not possibly pay.

Does that mean those who started out with CPU mining are now out of it and only GPU miners can cope with the difficulity?


Seems so. But even a decent GPU won't help u much, u need a bunch of them.

Does anyone have a difficulty prediction for the next adjustment?

You did not lose money.  You never had it.  You may be behind a fantasy schedule that you dreamed up that is not in sync with reality, but that is a different thing.


This. You never had the damn machines in question, nor you would have been making 100k without those machines in the first place. When you signed up for batch 2, recall that there was no guarantee. You signed up that it could be a scam, and you could lose your money. As long as you make about $2000 from each machine, it's a good investment. Further, bitching to Avalon won't make them ship faster. Perhaps Yifu might delay your machines just to troll you, who knows.


A greedy went fishing one day, and a sign at the bait shop said: All the worms you can ever need, $1.
He said: I'll take two.

1226  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Avalon batch [2] countdown! on: April 21, 2013, 06:22:56 PM
And BFL is shipping. Maybe still one month off from mass shipping, but he still is shipping.

Thank you Avalon for going on holiday instead of shipping batch 2!

We will remember it!

> why a switch AND a router?
The router doesn't have that many ethernet ports.

You are so effing greedy that part of me wants batch 2 delayed just to spite you even though I'm part of batch 2 as well. You need to calm down, you will get your units unless you live in the middle of nowhere. It's all about protecting the network. The coins will come in as a bonus.
Yes, its all about protecting the network. What a load of bs.
Greedy? I lost like 100k€ due to their delays and you call me greedy?
What is greedy exactly? Someone that doesn't like to lose a shitload of money? Well, that's me. I HATE to lose money.

We are not talking about bananas here.

You did not lose money.  You never had it.  You may be behind a fantasy schedule that you dreamed up that is not in sync with reality, but that is a different thing.


When you planned, what did you expected to earn? Did you actually make a plan? If so, please share.

I live in a cold climate with cheap electricity.  I sold shares in my Batch #2 and have recovered the price that I paid.

I did not try to keep exclusive control of a device in order to acquire more money than I need. 

When it arrives I will make it go.  The coin that it generates will be split among the share-holders, and I am one of the share-holders.  I will continue to mine when people from higher cost electricity areas are shut down.  When I am more experienced and difficulty rises, I will offer hosting services for miners.

I would like to make $50,000 from the device.  I would like to make $500,000 from the device.  My day to day plans are to make my essential income some other way.

Is this thing dead?

My transactions still get confirmations. Even if it's dead there is someone familiar with voodoo magic  Grin

I'm offline for a few days, but I'll keep running for a while.

how dare you test something rather than blindly speculate... who the hell do you think you are?

Yeah, I even did the test before I put real money into Bitfloor.  I guess I'll never fit in here.
1229  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitfloor trading suspended on: April 21, 2013, 05:18:08 PM
I have my funds in usd on my bitfloor account, I an undergoing the verification process, but that will probably take a week. Bitfloor have yet to respond to any of my emails that I sent them, hopefully I can get my money back, this was my first time dealing with them.

I worked support a few years ago.  You might think through what would happen if everyone sends emails to them, how much delay does that cause.
1230  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitfloor trading suspended on: April 21, 2013, 05:15:20 PM
... To withdraw USD you need to have a verified account and they are on backlog up to 3 days before they shut down. By the time everyone gets their money the money will be gone.

They should remove ID requirement and just send all the money through whatever means.

Good heavens ... what does it mean "they are on backlog up to 3 days"?  

What they say is normal and common procedure:

ACH (direct deposit)

ACH withdraw is free and takes about 1-3 business days before the funds are available in your bank account. Before you can withdraw funds via ACH you must fill out the form below with the required information. A member of our support staff will review your request and respond once ACH is setup.

There is no backlog and there is no 3 days 'before they shut down'.  

Just send all the money through whatever means?  What would 'whatever means' be?  Paypal?  I don't think so.

Bitfloor has been an honest and realistic service in the market for me.  They are doing their best to get things back to the owners.  Let's just get our facts straight here please.  

The price is always $5 to $10 higher on Bitfloor than on other exchanges, that's because it's the easiest exchange to put money on to and the hardest to get money out of. They are the only exchange that has instant local cash deposits but withdrawing money requires government ID.

Why can't they send everyone a USPS money order of their funds?

Have you ever received USD from an exchange without providing identity documents?

BitFloor is ceasing all trading operations and returning client funds. Please see https://bitfloor.com  for details.

Everyone who has USD in their account is fucked. THe only withdraw option is direct bank deposit which will never work.

I tested it: I received payment from Bitfloor via ACH a few weeks ago.

Now we return you to our usual program of FUD and paranoia.

Thanks all!

I have been following this but it does not seem to show the correct bid amount for 1JzMp55NW22xjEE4QKUhN5iAmKyFnJSUDg. It is missing the 1.0595BTC payment on 2013-04-05 02:17:21. Anyone else find inconsistencies like this?



I am doing the courtesy summary by hand, and mistakes are very likely.  However, the block-chain is visible to everybody, it is the authority, and I cannot introduce errors into it.

I gave a BTC 2 donation to TheJuice to encourage additional work on the other summary software.  Please feel free to donate tips to her as well.

Both TheJuice and I developed software along the lines of the original auction rules, but user behavior did not follow those rules closely.

In addition, I am also authoring some PHP + MySQL that mines this auction and will automate this process.  My software does many of the required steps now, although it is never a good idea to say "the software is pretty close to completion."  When it is ready, the summary will be correct and timely.  The snippets of SQL and PHP that I have posted are part of the software development.

I have found small differences in the way bitcoin-qt and blockchain.info interpret some of the RPC calls.  I am finding it easier to work with bitcoin-qt, but I have not found a good path to let PHP on my machine read your wallet without being a bad security design.

I suppose I could run an "auction" copy of bitcoin, and pull public keys only for all the bidders into it.  Then my PHP would read a wallet on my machine without a security risk.  Somehow I hate the idea of running an extra wallet, but that is irrational.  One concern is that importing each new key and doing a sweep takes *minutes.*  I don't know if the wallet is responsive to RPC during that sweep or not.

One thing I may do is to finish the PHP+mySQL in my bitcoin environment and publish the software.  That would let anyone with their own bitcoin+PHP+mySQL environment pull the numbers without any security risk.  When that is working and there is a healthy open source activity around it, then we could move it to blockchain.  There are also different security issues with blockchain but I have not thought through them.

I am on a business trip this week and will not produce much in the way of updates.    
1234  Economy / Speculation / Re: I sold at $57, fml. on: April 17, 2013, 04:22:21 PM
I sold one hundred at 27$ not a long time ago. That's worst when you see them scale up to 266$  Grin  Grin

were you able to buy some in the 50ies..? 

I had a limit order in about 0.01 lower than it went...
And another in at 40.
1235  Economy / Speculation / Re: I sold at $57, fml. on: April 17, 2013, 01:54:32 PM
instead of posting in this forum about it you could have just bought back in, now you're hoping for $76 which i very much doubt will happen, and so you'll have to come up with a plan C. My advice is to buy back at anything under $100 and in two weeks you'll be thinking how lucky you were to get back in under that price. Double digits will be long gone very soon.

"now you're hoping for $76 which i very much doubt will happen"

I can't stop laughing.

Uh oh. I just bought back in at $90.

I did win 0.1 btc in satoshi dice though. Maybe I should play with a full coin on 30%.

Ouch.  Set a limit buy at 65 and go away from the computer.
1236  Economy / Speculation / Re: I sold at $57, fml. on: April 17, 2013, 12:41:51 PM

And no one is complaining.
Well, it would be quite a risk to complain.
GitSyncom would probably purposely lose your order.
I'm complaining and i have a big order, and they know it since that i spammed this forum for months about it. I even posted my order id publicly.
These batch 2 orders went from a 1-year return of 250btc+ to a return of maybe 150btc each, if they don't delay it anymore.

Batch 1 units where full of dust (= your DHL man mined with them for a month before delivering), who wants to bet about batch 2?

I have bet $1,500 on batch 2.

I can't see this being Islamic terrorists. Tax day in Boston?

I'm surprised we haven't seen more speculation on the news. I would have thought they'd have been making insinuations about the tea party. It's bound to just be some nutcase like that guy who flew his little plane into that building a few years back. Though truly, the tax burden is bound to push a few people to the edge, the MO of this attack just screams "unbalanced".

That incident was in Austin, TX.  He flew it into the IRS office.  The building was totaled from the fire.  I drove by there as a matter of routine.
He gave up, and lost all his options.  Never give up.
