Got a ticket in for it now ... should be up in a few minutes. Once I get US1 moved, I will pull US2 and get the RAM replaced.

Sunday payment went out and the script appears to be working... so when the balance in the account reaches 100 BTC, it will trigger a payout. I'm going to manually run it this week every few days to make sure it's doing what it's suppose to, then I will set it to do it on it's own assuming all goes well.
I've received some questions and such about purchasing additional BFLS shares.
To make it somewhat fair, I will just take offers on additional shares.
Just send me your offer for however many shares you want to purchase. I don't really want to get into a situation where I'm dealing out small quantities of shares though since it incurs quite an overhead in time and effort to get it setup... but I will entertain any offer.

Back payment for all shares have been sent out. The few outstanding (totaling less than 100 shares across both BFLS and RIG) shares will be bought out directly.
Going forward, payouts will happen regularly and automatically based on earnings when the total in the account exceeds 100 BTC (so every few days most likely). This week has been exceptionally crappy in terms of luck (view it on EMCs Block Stats page), so what a good week to start auto payouts on (That's sarcasm if you can't tell). Payout on Sunday will be manually done, and then automatic going forward after that.
Let me know of any problems.

Send them to me a again then, I must have missed them.

I just sent out another test payment. There was a bug for people with the same wallets and both RIG and BFLS shares (actually it's a "feature" of bitcoind) ... but anyway, it should be working now, and everyone should see token payments to the proper addresses now.

With Epochs' help, I found a bug in the payout script. Approximate pay per share is .086 BTC per share for the past 11 weeks. Thanks Epoch!
I will be running a few more tests and then I'll send out the bulk payout. After that, you guys can expect normal payouts thereafter.
Everyone who's sent me address changes have been changed.
I just sent out a test payment to everyone on the list. If you didn't receive a very small token amount transaction, let me know.

How long we wait before moving to 'Plan B' is ultimately up to Inaba, but one way or another we should resolve this situation soon; by now there may be over a thousand BTC waiting to be distributed to shareholders (I'm not sure how many total outstanding BFLS and BFLS.RIG shares there are, but the per-share dividend payment over the 9 missed payment cycles works out to around 0.075-0.08 BTC/share). I'm sure many of us could use that supplementary income right now during the holiday season.
Epoch - How did you come up with the .075 - .08 BTC/share figure? My numbers are coming up to approximately .045 per share or so. When I run the payment processor the numbers add up and the grand total for the past ~11 weeks comes out to about .045 per share. Did you double something somewhere in your calculations or am I missing something?

Regular payouts will resume on Sunday for everyone. I will get the back payment caught up prior to Sunday's payout.
Once I'm confident the payout is working properly, I will be setting it up to auto pay out every few days based on the accumulated earnings.
For those of you wanting to buy more shares, I will be selling them in blocks of 50 for .5 BTC each, in a limited quantity on a first come first served basis. If you want to bid more than .5 BTC, then you will take priority over other who have a lower bid.

Yeah, US1 is redirected to US2. As long as you aren't pointing to the IP directly, it should be mining on US2 now with no problems.

Among the many other things Frizz is ignorant about, I guess we can add trolling to the list. Someone get this boy a dictionary! Poor little thing doesn't even know the definition of simple words!

What boggles the mind is the fact that if you don't like pre-orders, why would you pre-order? It's pretty simple, if you disagree with it, don't do it. It's not like you're forced to.

Unlikely! Sir! What you post, while appearing highly unlikely to any person of average intelligence is positive FACT to the BFL Clown Crew! Common Sense and Critical Thinking be damned! They don't need it!

If you define censorship as removing trolling then yes. If you define censorship properly, as removing posts just because they are not liked, then no. There have been exactly zero messages removed that were not either outright spam or outright trolling. Hell, Frizz has posted most of the troll messages over here, so by all means, judge for yourself.
Elux: Thanks for the picture, I was wondering what you were doing there with all that babbling... Your posts makes a lot more sense now that you posted a picture of what you were feeling when you made your post.

Well, I think it's still open because we're not on the BFL forums, where this annoying thread would be long gone by now. I couldn't get past the laughable bolded part... what were you saying?
|
|
|
And the rhetorical question asked was also answered... so again I ask, why is this thread still open? And again I ask, is this another difficult concept for you, as well?

I'm just curious as to where and how you acquired your view on life. But anyway: Cars do require certain attributes to be legal, such as meeting safety regulations. Also, traffic laws, including speed limits are indeed laws which put limits on behavior regarding the use of cars. How about behavior laws for guns, such as when and where you may use one, have one on your person, how many bullets you can shoot, etc. Remember, not only is your behavior with cars limited on the roadways, but it is also restricted to roadways. Last time I checked, nobody is going to approve of you driving your car through a playground, a park, a department store, or a movie theater. You're in luck, those laws already exist with respect to guns... Same as cars. In fact, it's a lot harder to get a hold of a gun than it is to get a hold of a car, typically speaking. You can kill just as many if not more people faster with a car, too. It's a lot easier to hide a gun than a car. And cars are useful on a daily basis. Sorry, but the car/gun analogy is so tenuously weak, that it isn't worth discussing. Regarding my views: outside of this forum, they're pretty mainstream. Hang out with some different people for a change and you might discover this yourself. With regards to your views, I obviously can't speak to what you're like outside the forums... but I can almost guarantee I have met and befriended a far more diverse set of people than you have, which is what has formed my views. I have seen the poverty and death oppression brings, I have lived in it and with it, spoken to and lived with the people it has affected most. The views you've espoused on the forums are unfortunately the views of someone who has had little exposure to the world outside of the United States and parts of western Europe. Travel to other parts of the world, especially the third world and your views on a great many things you are espousing here will change dramatically and quickly. It's unfortunate, but most of the world does not live as comfortably and safely as the US does... but most US citizens never see or experience what life outside the developed Western world is like.

Do you ever have anything to add that's on topic? Why are you trying to hold me to the same standard you yourself can not maintain?
Hypocrisy much?
Remind me again what the topic of this thread is? Oh... that's right, it's a question: "Are the BFL forums in F****** China?"
The answer is "no". It was answered pages ago. Why is this thread still open then? Or is this another difficult concept for you?
