Move to bitstamp....

Why not btc24?

Why not *all of them* and use whichever one is most suitable and profitable at that moment in the spirit of decentralization?

I buy domestically off the road, I've only put $15,000 of drugs into society through the past two years, that's a lot of love, most of which was put into society through me.

So just as I suspected. You do have money to pay back squall, but choose not to.

Unless he's dealing to support a habit. In which case what he really means is that he's a conduit through which has passed $15000 worth of illegal drugs - not that he actually made $15000 from it.

He used to, borrowing cash over here to support it, but as with every other thing he was too incompetent to be a profitable drug dealer become he pilfered his own stash.

To be honest, it is pretty creepy to think about how much money he was asking for to start a "hookah lounge" seeing as that money was probably all going to buying LSD.

No, it's just pathetic that people clutter up the forum with meaningless replies.

We are in the process of a redesign for the next generation.

When that is complete, the new models will go on sale.

We don't have a timeframe on when it will be available for ordering.

Please check our website for the new machines to come online.

We have changed our product line and the model

that you have chosen will only be shipped if a paid preorder was

placed before April 4th, 2013 is in our preorder queue.

All of our current models are available for preorder on the website.

We are not shipping ASICs yet as we are still testing the chips.

Prepayment is the only method by which your preorder is entered into the queue.

We are working to start shipping in the next couple weeks and have a backlog in the queue,

so new pre-orders, regardless of product or power consumption,

will likely ship sometime in August, sooner if possible.

We ship in strict order of payment date with absolutely no way to move ahead in the queue.

Thank you for your interest in Butterfly Labs, and our products.

Brian

thought might be interesting

Thank you Brian (whomever you are) for admitting that BFL cheated on the betsofbitco.in bet.

Wait, are you trying to get your bot to search this forum (polling) for the term everytime someone uses it?

If so, that's insane. Just use the RSS feed https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?type=rss;action=.xml

Matthew,

I am willing to put money in your hands.  I trust you will live up to your word.

I'm setting up the Mt. Gox account to handle all this.  There will obviously be 3 to 5 days of various money changers delaying operations until I have actual, real BTC to send you.  I'm hoping the market rate does not change too much in the next few days.

I am prepared to offer you 1.5 BTC @ 10 shares for a total of 15 BTC.

This matches the best price you received on your auction and fills your entire order.

Tom



That sounds like a reasonable offer and I appreciate that. I'll PM you in a moment!
1329  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: ATTN Newbies who want to try ASIC mining on: April 21, 2013, 07:07:05 AM
1) I saw the graphic of electricity cost.  Are you charging your entire electricity bill toward the ASIC mine or prorating it by some equation?
Good question, haven't gotten the bill yet after running the ASIC, was considering just paying it myself if it's cheap enough, or just discussing a solution with the people who purchased. I'm far from impossible to work with, if anything naive for being overly generous.

2) This is a physical asset in a real location.  What security measures are you taking both for physical security and to protect the ASIC mine from line voltage surges?
Also good question. I'm behind 3 security doors in a house in the middle of the country. Pretty sure a surge protector would handle the unlikely event of a surge.

How long do you intend to operate this ASIC miner?
Forever. Until it explodes into a million pieces on it's own.

If you decide to sell it do the profit sharing members get a corresponding share of the final sale price?
Let's answer this and all other profit related questions in a single swoop: No one owns the rig but me, and I have no obligations to do anything other than keep my word to divvy out percentages of profits (which will be handled insanely transparently). Any income from that rig will be given out, even if it is from selling the rig (which wouldn't happen unless 100% of the people who bought recommended it to me).

3) Without being too impolite or personal, what kind of medical emergency?
Nothing life threatening, nothing worth mentioning, but still needs to be paid for, and just to dispel rumors before they start, no it's not to make my eyes look more Korean.  Wink


Finally, why 2 BTC per 1% share?
Because that's how much I need for the surgery. You're welcome to make a counter offer with explanation if you'd like.

I have read entirely too many posts by you, about you and about your activities here.
If you have a generally bad opinion of me, you haven't read *enough* posts or talked to the right people, or you value the opinion of people who've never worked with me or transacted with me at all over those who have for some reason. For example, the news says that Bitcoin is only used for drugs and child porn, so it's true, right?

You seem to be experiencing a pretty steep learning curve.
If you believe that, then it'd also be reasonable to assume that I'd be insane not to learn from my mistakes quickly (given the steepness of the curve of learning necessary for survival).

Now I have to ask myself, can I (and the rest of the newbies) trust you with upwards of $2500?
I spent a lot of 2 years worried about keeping from breaking promises while making promises I couldn't keep. That's one of the most important lessons I learned last year especially. I'm not interested in doing anything that requires you to work hard to trust me. You either do or you don't. There are plenty who trust me with much more than those ASICs are worth in a heartbeat.

What would you recommend?

Ask people who actually know me, not people who have never even worked with or performed transactions with me if you want a proper opinion. It's true that I have always enjoyed life (http://www.youtube.com/user/BitTalkTV) but it's also true that I've never stolen anything from anyone here and always worked double time to make up for mistakes. Again, you either trust me or you don't.

Thanks for the honest questions!

Likely to get assassinated if elected, but if he manages to pull this off, I might consider moving to Nevada.

Let's make a bitcoin hackerspace in Vegas, or even buy some super cheap shit earth in the desert there and build a bittown. (rofl)

Yeah I've had the rig working before, but this all started when I upgraded my drivers, so when I couldn't figure it out I did a new install for windows.

Downgrade drivers. It always worked for my 5850s back in the day.

Ok, this particular candidate is interesting.
http://nevadagovernor2014.com/issues/  if he wins and keeps his promises... heck, I'm moving to Nevada in a heart beat.
His campaign is quite interesting. His points are quite amazing (if he really serious about them)
Quote
Nevada State Bank. The Constitution requires that the State pay all of its debts in gold and silver. The Nevada State government will follow the Constitution and create its own bank and store its own gold and silver. It will also issue credit against that capital rather than out of debt as the Federal Reserve does. No credit will be issued without capital assets in full backing. Nevada based businesses will be able to borrow money at a reasonable rate. Private citizens will be free to use any form of currency they wish to pay their debts. Money creation is a crucial issue to address, because the quantity of the money has to controlled to prevent market stability and steady growth. In theory, money can be issued with no capital backing and interest free by the government IF the quantity is strictly controlled. Nevada will encourage the adoption of Debt-Free National money SaveFrom.net. There is no cause for governments to EVER borrow money on interest to private banks, because governments can CREATE and ISSUE money for FREE while also controlling to quantity. To do otherwise is to surrender sovereignty to banksters.
  I swear!! He talks about bitcoins!

Multi-Currency Free Market System. While the State government is required to pay all of its debts in gold and silver, any thing free citizens deem of value in the free market can be used as a currency when the parties agree. This will facilitate an explosion of economic activity. This principle is also in keeping with historical origins of currency in America when our ancestors used colonial scrip until they were forced to use only gold and silver by the British government.
This sounds like a great environment for Bitcoins Grin

Nevada to Stop All Payments to the IRS. It was shown conclusively by President Reagan’s Grace Commission Report that ZERO of the taxes collected by the IRS on income return to the citizens in the form of services or benefits. All of the taxes are consumed by the IRS bureaucracy and paid as interest to the private banskters behind the Federal Reserve bank. Nevada residents will no longer send any further payments to the IRS because there is no purpose in doing so SaveFrom.net. Nevada law enforcement will be employed in arresting any agent of the federal government who attempts to collect IRS taxes from a Nevada resident.

If he is not lying, and will be able to fulfill his promises, he is going to be my favorite politician at all time (I hate politicians with a passion, they are on the same level as Muslim terrorists for me) And I will move to Nevada.


If he is elected, I'll move to Nevada myself and volunteer at his office.

So I tried a new install of windows on a mining rig, as soon as I installed the video driver I got the blue screen. I can get into windows after repairs, but, I can't reset my computer. Every time I try it either freezes or gives me a blue screen. I tried 3 different drivers, I tried a full uninstall, no go. This is a brand new windows, new hard drive.

Any advice?

Bad memory? Incompatible motherboard? No idea.

I'm going to try and start cracking down on spam a little more... there's just so much of it.

^^^ This. +1  (Sorry, had to.  Cheesy)

If you really want to stop the pointless mini-responses, add ratings for comments like Reddit and pretty much every other social network site in the universe and pretty much all modern forums have. When you upvote a comment, you won't *need* to respond to it.
1336  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: this forum sucks on: April 21, 2013, 03:52:01 AM

It's the only explanation for how people could spend so much time trolling.
1337  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: this forum sucks on: April 21, 2013, 03:47:23 AM

Seems like spam, right?

Edit: Seems like that forum has *only* spam http://bitforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3
1338  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: this forum sucks on: April 21, 2013, 03:37:21 AM
The newbie restrictions are indeed archaic, there are better ways to handle spammers and newbies, like reputation systems, Ripple style trust (if your friend spams, you get banned too!), pay-per-account, etc. Theymos already claims he's working on a replacement that will eliminate the need for the newbie jail. In the meantime, try http://reddit.com/r/Bitcoin as that's where actual conversation happens.
