I am in the UK and tempted what ones do you have left?
Nothing finalized yet, so both the B2 and the C1. |

Listen, this service is for people that have never made a computer, don't know how linux works and just learned about Bitcoin on TV and want to know how they can get in on it simply. Yes I'm making a profit. This is a business. If you know how to make a computer and assemble it on your own then of course its cheaper to buy the parts and make it yourself. The same can be said for Dell or HP machines, or anything else for that matter.
That is a very valid point, and I was thinking to myself "why did this thread ever get derailed into a discussion of profit?"... then it dawned on me, you said you were the cheapest, there, blatantly. We are all nitpickers and given your price / performance ratio, it was just too damn easy to complain  Best of luck with your business, it is certainly filling a niche. Good service, bad advertisement wording. |

30GB SSD is a waste of money.... a cheapo 40$ Free shipping 500GB HDD will do great
What is the speed gain on bootup, anyway? from 20 to 18 secs? 1KW on the single GPU system is a waste
Yep, and you could drive 2x 5970 mildly overclocked safely with a good 850W. Dunno about 6990 though... How is this only a 30% markup?
My guess is: 6990 retail: $699 Dual GPU: $2698 Single GPU: $2798 diff = $900, which is ~28.5% above $699... so putting it clearly, 30% markup on top of retail. Just my 2 bitcents |

Heh, I modified the offer to include shipping, for easier bidding. I'm in Missouri, US.
Right, I'm inclined to accept, but since I will not be able to ship it before next wednesday, I just realized, lets postpone the deal until then. Also remember I'm sending from Europe, meaning you may get customs charge you whatever fee, dunno how that goes with US imports, but I do know that here I get charged extra 9 out of 10 times. |

I'll offer 100 BTC + shipping for the C1.
Thanks for the offer. Where are you located? |
|
|
|
250 BTC minimum is quite fair I guess because I need it fast :-)
I've sent you the payment address. If I receive payment on time I'll send the XO first thing tomorrow. Thanks! I'm guessing 2 months is long enough to assume that Pegasus-Rider is no longer interested B2 up for sale again, also have a C1 up for grabs now, make your bids. |

OK, it was all right, but the ending was completely wrong. L2 character development. I doubt this movie will ever hit Europe >_>
I had to go to Massachusetts to see it, which is almost as bad. HA! There's that smile in my face right there, thank you! (I'm in Europe, not Massachusetts, btw, but I guess it is funny either way) |

Hey, I have a private git version that is based on the public git with a few personal patches that should be fairly innocuous and everything was just fine. I have a few remote miners working with this daemon, and the big change I did is that I don't need the miner login to match the rpcuser (but still need to correct password), so I can log which miner is doing the getworks. I've also got everyone working over ssl. But since yesterday, for some reason, bitcoind keeps dying out of the blue. I grabbed a core dump and I wonder if anyone can help me here. I've since updated to the latest git (bf3a0902ef98365d803e4a03853dbf0f83511026) compiled locally, but same thing happens $ gdb bitcoind core.dump.2

Say I have a point of entry into 2 banks. Unfortunately not small local banks but rather big financial institutions, and also unfortunately my contacts on both accounts are low on the food chain, but can introduce me to the next levels in the pyramid.
What would I, as a tech dude not that much knowledgeable in economics, use as ice breaker? Remember that these dudes will not care for the pseudo-anonymous side of bitcoins, and will require knowing the color of your underwear before giving you money for your bitcoins, which means they'll then report that back and make you traceable for tax purposes.
Is it wise at all to consider doing this?

I hope I'm not committing the fallacy of applying the labor theory of value, but I definitely believe that -as a previous person said it - difficulty and price are "married" together.
Well, from where I stand I'd say price drives difficulty more than the other way around... if miners sell coins at high prices that doesn't that's the sum total of coins being sold, and that doesn't mean buyers will be interested... What does happen for sure is miners will only mine while it is profitable, so a lower price means less people mining which then gets the difficulty lower on the next change block which will probably get the miners back in the wagon, as they can find more coins in the same time span, even though the price is lower. I can't see the individual miner moving the market too much, though I can be wrong of course. |

Did you get slashd... I mean bitcoined? :p |

While I not only vouch for bitcoins but also dedicate a good deal of my time and money to it, the simple fact that we get ourselves a pledge of allegiance and start thinking in absolute terms will drive away all the critic thought, thus making everything vulnerable and untrustworthy... but that doesn't mean it can't still be a good business model, look at all the religions out there that prosper. * nelisky docks |

Man those guys are awesome. Under their own logic, hot women should be made readily available to the masses as a social service. Finally i can score some poon for free!
Yeah I was reluctant to say it, but indeed in a moneyless world, to get what they want, men would have to beg or to use force, and women would have to beg or to spread their legs. So money can replace begging, sweet  |

I really can't be bothered arguing the point, because I don't enjoy banging my head on walls.
Yes you do! you just don't feel it anymore because you've hit the wall a bit too hard last time, and your reasoning, or lack thereof proves my point. Don't worry that you can't understand what I mean, or you feel that I'm just making fun of you... right now it's all you can achieve. Ironically, brain surgery might have got you back to normal (though I'm not sure I want to know what that means for you) but all the surgeons are busy cleaning the phones, those that survived infections, that is. |

fetokun (e quem mais esteja interessado), eu li num outro thread que estás procurando hosting. Caso não precise de ser mesmo no continente americano, manda PM com as caracteristicas que procuras (ram, hd, SO) que eu tento fazer um negócio bacana com uma VPS em Portugal.

BTC received, Steam gift sent.
Piggybacking on this thread, I too am willing to buy the pre-order of Portal 2 for BTC, but I want the PS3 version, and I think the best place for me to get it is at amazon uk. So I'll be wanting a £32.91 gift card, any takers? Name your price. Do you know if USD Amazon gift cards can be redeemed on Amazon UK? If so, I would be willing to purchase a 15 USD gift card to get you part of the way there. (I have a VISA gift card I'm trying to exchange for BTC and this seems like the best avenue to do that.) Nope, amazon gift cards are localized. You can, however, buy on the uk site using the VISA gift card, that would work for me just fine, but it might be hit or miss to get the correct USD amount when doing a GBP transaction, and fees will certainly be added. |

So say I sold a few coins, and I emailed the buyer... how long should I wait before I ask for the transaction to be aborted? Is there a system in place to handle lack of communication?
I don't see anything related to that on the FAQ, but some guidelines would be appreciated.
Sorry, we are just in the process of implementing the preferred payment methods module. I don't want to write the FAQ now and then change it again in a day or two. Just like on bitcoinmarket.com we deal with transactions that should be aborted once they are not completed over a period of 10 days. If you have any requests please don't hesitate to send an email to admin at bitmarket dot eu and we will get it sorted. EDIT: Also, if anyone has any suggestions regarding the way the exchange operates please post in here or write us. Thanks. Ok, I don't really think this system works for me because; - I don't have a way of knowing my emails aren't getting into some guy's spam folder - I have no way of knowing if the buyer isn't just using the exchange as a hedge, only completing the trades if the market moves in the way he expects - There are no hard rules regarding communication My own history is that I have 2 trades done... on one it has been 6 days and 3 email, no response whatsoever. The other I got a response for very quickly, an agreement was made as to the method of payment and I've been waiting for 3 days for the transfer confirmation. Nothing fancy, no huge values, but as the market moves up I find myself frustrated because I don't get the cash to buy more bitcoins in time before prices go too high, and I don't have the bitcoins to sell for a higher price. The market just moves too slow. What I would like to see implemented, short of a full exchange, was a communication system mediated by the exchange so 1) email history is kept 2) the sender is the exchange, resolving the spam folder potential issue Also a simple rule like - 48 hours of no communication gives the seller the chance to cancel the trade and get the coins back. This of course means the exchange must be sure there was an attempt and no reply. Just waiting for 10 days sucks on such a dynamic market, mostly because there is zero assurance the trade will actually be completed by the buyer, whereas the seller is locked in for however long. |

I'm not sure people are entirely convinced this is for real. When your opening offer is twice the market value, it makes me wonder how he ever got a half million dollars in the first place.
well, maybe he has 250k btc and needs a quarter million dollars, so he hints "there will be much selling soon, and at more than twice the current value" and bam, a lot of people start buying at whatever current market rate is so they can sell later... now all he needs is to put a dark order of 250k on 1.0 at mtgox and wait... |

I think the better / simpler option would be to convince the owner of the pump nearest to you to sell you gas but keep it till you need it. You could go all fancy and arrange for a 'fidelity card' approach so your friends *cough*clients*cough* could go to the pump and just use some of your pre paid fuel.
It wouldn't scale too high, as it would obviously raise suspicions to the fuel provider but it would solve the issue with storage... Say you give a little extra "on the side" to the pump owner and he allows you to keep an inverted tab, and you SMS him "Today the car with such license plate will come in for x gallons".
Of course the POS system they use will probably make this impossible, but maybe there's still a manually operated pump close to you?
