cancel that shit....be a naysayer on your bad decisions elsewhere

There are other methods to be able to accept CC payments such as through foursquare or even woocommerce...its beyond very easy to get a paypal business account setup. Do you plan to buy chips from another asic vendor such as bfl chips or bfury chips? If you do plan to fabricate your own chips (now I'm remembering that you quoted having a 1MM NRE investment cost on design, what will the cell nanometer size be?) Why did you decide to become a shareholder with VMC?
Its obvious that you have a strong interest in getting hardware sold. Its clear that you have the lowest order queue because you are offering obscure information and non-reversible payment methods. Whats been confusing for me with your cart is - I can order a bunch of TH power but am I required to order additional cases? can I forgo the cases altogether? Why can't I just buy the chips off you? Its clear that you guys plan to use off the shelf components and maybe I just want to diy a miner myself??? (I don't but I am speculating for those who may want to)

honest question - why would I join a private pool instead of a large one like btcguild or bitminter or eligious?

Finally Took the plunge w/ block erupters cause they are SUPER Cheap (mine were 23 dollars out the door, shipping included). Before you have something to say....It will be relegated to mining alt coins come february.

I tried this and it seemed to work on one Erupter but not the other two...When I restarted the PC I still had issues....its ok though...I got a free copy of Windows 7 pro to install on this machine instead.

You missed the biggest motivator PURCHASING POWER PARITY!!!!!! If I can pay with btc and the price is like 5000 USD per btc that's like a mortgage payment from 1 BTC!!! A lot more people would be using btc to buy things if it were priced high enough. Hoarding mentality is happening at the moment because of its low price and people not wanting to lose out from potential payout on appreciation

correct me if I'm wrong but I thought stratum was already built in, you simply need to set your options as -S All on the command line arguments and you're all set.

spent my weekend dealing with Vista Hell back to Windows XP (I don't feel the urge to learn Linux just yet but was inches away from picking up bamt) and now I seem to be almost back to where I was with having my 33 (for now) BEs back working again with BFG miner. I see that when I plug them into windows I get Two Code 42s (duplicate devices detected) and one single Code 39 I believe well its the one that says windows failed to load drivers for * device. I can't seem to figure out how to fix this (there was a post somewhere where it was mentioned to regedit the upper limit on USB devices but that wasn't on my computer so it didnt help) Any ideas on how I can get them to work? (I had them all working successfully before until Vista decided to keep itself on a reset loop and I was forced to use a burned copy of windows xp)
Asking now because I'm adding another 10 or so tomorrow.

I can confirm that there are about half a million active users (active defined as owned, sent or recieved bitcoins in the last month timeframe).
I have confirmed this throught thinking about it intensely.
hell yea the power of positive throught! I'd say the proportion of users with online wallets is probably very large. Thats pretty nice that at this moment theres less than a million ppl in btc. Makes you wonder how many ltc or other coin users exist

Tested here to confirm that is the case they can handle 5 if several things are connected but 6 if nothing else is connected.....argh impossible to find a 10 port 3Amp 12V charger locally Could I simply source my own AC adapter that puts out 48 WATTS and swap it onto my existing hub? are there volt regulators or other component that could be a fire issue if i do this? are there some watt limits or gage

who feels the need compel their last job (its not like I'm valuating you as successful or anything) People don't pay for porn in fiat what makes you think they'd give away something even more valuable?

BFLs got a ton of pictures of chips and mining equipment, and they're still scamming people left and right. "Our shipping queue will be fully shipped by the end of September." ... Yeah, right... and pigs can fly.
Actually, for the last week, every day BFL has been able to ship about 10-15 days' worth of Single SC pre-orders. For example yesterday alone, they shipped all the Oct 3-17, 2012 pre-orders: https://forums.butterflylabs.com/blogs/bfl_jody/There are ~330 days of pre-orders remaining to ship, so at this rate they should need merely 20-30 more days to ship everything, which is approximately mid October. Plus, the number of pre-orders almost certainly slowed down in late 2012 and through 2013, so again assuming they can just maintain the current rate of shipping, we should see BFL able to ship a lot more than 10-15 days's worth of Single SC pre-orders... so their "end of September" estimate seems absolutely plausible. Addendum: it is a different story for Jalapenos and Mini-Rigs... BFL is outsourcing Jalapenos, and seem to have a lot of issues producing Mini-Rigs, so they might not finish shipping these 2 product lines any time soon. FWIW....hella people....me included.....have since Chargeback cancelled our orders as KNC offers double hashpower at 500 bucks cheaper. The choice was beyond obvious to ditch bfl...that is likely why they can now fulfilll a shiton of orders. Factor in the tradeins to the BFL monarch for all the fools who part way with their money and it explains why they can all of the sudden 'breeze through' a bigass order queue. I always saw you Bitcoinorama as one of the few sane people with useful things to say on this forum. 80% of the people here don't know anything and just either parrot others, or just spread FUD as if its in style.
better to be a parrot than to be a parrot spreading FUD though right?

And I deserve some promised apologies. So with all due respect to those that promised they had the balls to do so once the time came, it's now. I wasn't lying, I never have been, and i'm happy to forgive, and let bygones be bygones. Credit, where credit's due, I told the truth, and received no payment for my efforts. I just wanted to put an end to the scamming madness around the end of April on, and school some peeps on making secure pre-order purchases. So in all fairness my heart was, and always has been in the right place (with a level head i'd like to think as well). There's also a tip jar if anyone fancies buying me a drink!

"Customers have already ordered several thousand." "According to Johan Rilegård the company has already received a few thousand orders for boxes" "The circuits are at 150 watts each" Wow their comments are either like "wow...digital money is here!" or "Warning - this is a ponzi/prymid scheme and it wastes too much electricity!" (types that say that are also the ones who will often leave their tv on at night while they are asleep) Clearly its working for some folks otherwise difficulty would have remained flat.

FPGA....why....would a bunch of people ask such a thing - they don't really scale up correctly for more hashpower so you are required to move towards asics for more power. Why do you think that is? My only guess is that guys are thinking the next step is to pump a bunch of RAM into an FPGA and somehow convert it over into a SCRYPT sort of thing.

your website is still in dev but its basically a cookie cutter template so much that you have VOIP and cell phonesy stuff graphics on your homepage...you were ahead by just keeping it hidden until your site was live...also....why announce things like this early? Why not just announce when they are available so that people can be able to pay for them and recieve them right away...I dont want to give you my money in advance so that you can go out and build the thing with my proceeds to fulfill orders...that may not be what's going on...but you're making it feel like that IS the case.

Ok Ill step off my graphjam soapbox now

No way - that's almost a step towards communism if you ask me...lol kidding aside, it would be a nice gesture and would likely earn a mining hardware manufacturer respect if they shown an anonymous order book that gives ETA and also a list of orders in queue - but that would DEFINITELY work against the vendor as shit like BFL and 4+ week backorder books will be a de-motivator to order from those folks as you will be aware that you can't seem to get hardware off the shelf and immediately.
I am curious as to whether or not there will EVER be an off the shelf device that can be priced to achieve ROI - my feels are no, never, as it would be in the interest of a certain YIFU type to simply mine with the hardware until the difficulty makes it just slightly unprofitable at 10X the hardware fiat cost of goods sold.

For Fast food reference:

anyone do an ROI chart on getting a fast food job instead of using all their time speculating on miner ROI?
Made me LOL - so true I have to keep reminding myself that this is a labour of love
