Best scam yet.

They say they won't accept payment first but they will allow it. Of-course the people who pay first will the ones to get it first.
But that's the scam. Those first 500 people who pay will get jipped of their money.

Sure 80% might pay by Paypal and 20% might pay by bitcoin. At least they get 20% of 500 orders (Let's just guess 40BTC a unit).
So that's about 4000 BTC (100 orders x 40BTC) or about $324K USD in today's value.

Not too bad of a pay for an easy 1 month scam work.

Done.

If they have such a sort turn around time they don't even need pre orders. Just have people order and then in 2 weeks get your miner. They still haven't proven who they are with many requests.

1563  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Armory - Discussion Thread on: April 20, 2013, 10:08:07 AM
I run Windows 8. Every time I try to run Armory, I get this:
Code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "ArmoryQt.py", line 4804, in <module>
  File "ArmoryQt.py", line 466, in __init__

  File "armoryengine.pyc", line 10867, in createProxy
TypeError: %d format: a number is required, not str

Argh!  Just found that there is a real bug here, not user error.  The issue is that i'm not casting the "rpcport" in the bitcoin.conf file to an integer, so it's failing to produce the correct URL when you have any rpcport argument in the bitcoin.conf file.  And for Windows users, there's not a convenient way around this bug.

I can't believe no testers ran into this!  Man, I need more testers...

The only solution I know for working around this with 0.88-beta is to remove rpcport from your bitcoin.conf file, and run bitcoin-qt/bitcoind with the -rpcport command-line argument.  Then run Armory with the -satoshi-port argument that matches.

I hate releasing a bugfix version right after a regular release and triggering notifications again (effectively spamming users).  I guess, I could accumulate these bugs into a v0.88.1-beta version, and silently update it, without triggering notifications.  But still change all the links to point to the new version.  I guess that works...



So my Armory install is broke? I was the OP of the error that was coming up. I'm not really sure what I'm suppose to do. I didn't do any upgrades or make any changes. And I still have bitcoin in my Armory wallet. I don't know what you mean when you say run it with this argument or whatever. Can you be a bit more detailed?

Thanks

Update:

Due to scammers, we are going to be selling ONLY to our pre-existing clients once we reopen this week.  There will also be some new policies in effect.

Glad to see that the foot went down. IF someone abuses the service and they do make a deposit that was not approved I would hold onto their money for a week, ask for a bitcoin address to send the money back to (refund address) less fees and processing work. That will teach them next time. Good luck guys and keep up the great work!



1567  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com on: April 17, 2013, 06:04:25 AM
Hey I'm Swedish. Maybe I can prove I'm kncminer.

1568  Economy / Economics / How do big players buy? on: April 16, 2013, 08:24:50 PM
The Winklevoss twins, the ones that sued Zuckerberg (Facebook) invested in Bitcoin a while back. Said to have a very large amount now they took advantage of the "crash" that just happened and said they invested even more. How are these big players able to buy Bitcoin when there literally was a selling freeze? Even people that wanted to buy 10 bitcoins were unable to. All the sources/companies that I used temporarily shut down and ceased selling. I was curious as to how these guys were able to buy/invest in so many while most of us couldn't get one bitcoin into our wallets. Even right now I'm finding it hard to find any place "open for business" selling bitcoin. Do groups that invest in high amounts get preferred treatment? I was hoping the bitcoin community would try and get away from that old way of thinking. I know very well in our todays banking system customers are treated differently based on how much business you do. I thought bitcoin was better than that. I hope I'm completely wrong.

1569  Economy / Speculation / Dropping and still dropping? on: April 15, 2013, 07:33:08 PM
So, what's everyone's guess? It is $89 right now and this morning it was $92. Slowly dropping but how far do you think? Will it hit $50?

Some Avalon miners went from making approx $800/USD per day to $290/USD per day. That's quite a jump. By the time BFL ever does send anything out it will be strictly be just for a play time hobby and conversation piece. I wonder how long it will take before it creeps back up to $200 again, if it ever will.

1570  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / This forum needs tech support... on: April 14, 2013, 10:57:42 PM
I'm getting tired of time out responses daily on this forum. Will that ever get taken care of? Having hundreds of thousands of dollars I'm fairly sure money isn't a problem at least in making the forum run a little better. Please, if you aren't going to provide the forum what it needs could you at least pass the problem on to someone who can? Lots of people use this forum as their bitcoin portal to the world. Cool.

Theymos,

Why no reply to the simple

Why are you having such a problem getting this done?

I understand that some things are harder than they seem. Can you please elaborate on what difficulties you're facing right now?

Letting go of such a lot of bitcoin if quite difficult. My precious.
1573  Economy / Services / Re: Looking for someone to create/modify software for this forum [5500+ BTC] on: April 14, 2013, 10:12:30 PM
Edit: There's really only one way all you asked in the OP can be done, BTW, and it is guaranteed to be more resource hungry than SMF, because SMF isn't designed to do all those things, and the way you need to structure the code to do it will be a bit slower. But not by much.

This is definitely not true. SMF is written in PHP, and it has a lot of unnecessary inefficiencies (which I've been fixing to keep the forum running). The additional features that I require aren't very resource-intensive, and I don't require some of SMF's resource-intensive features. The most expensive required feature is the web of trust, but that isn't too slow to begin with and it can be made faster with caching.

Maybe it's impossible if you write it in a week using bloated frameworks...

Simple question, if you had a system exactly as you described except that it was 30% slower than SMF, but say, could be run on multiple servers to scale very well, would you take something like that?

The slowness doesn't bother me much if more hardware can fix it and if the slowness doesn't increase exponentially with more users. However, if you know in advance that your design will be 30% slower, then I probably won't like your design for other reasons. I don't like doing too much at runtime for the sake of coding convenience, and I do like SQL.

The web of trust thing will just turn this place into high school all over again. Little groupies all over the place that have their little control over their piece of the pie. If they have the ability to withhold posts/information for other users to see then this would actually be going away from a community. Assuming this is what "web of trust" is all about. Someone doesn't like your avatar, sorry, can't post/contribute on this board and can't see the latest posts.

1574  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Avalon ASIC users thread on: April 14, 2013, 10:08:50 PM
Since this "is" Avalon users thread let us poor people know how much money you guys have made that you have CASHED in, NOT how many bitcoins you have accumulated. I'm quite curious. Of course if you want to refrain from letting us know how much money you have made that is your liberty and don't need any nasty offending comments that I've offended you for asking. Smiley

I just want to sulk and go into a deep depression from hearing all the numbers.

1575  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Avalon ASIC users thread on: April 14, 2013, 10:03:34 PM
but seasonic are (too?) large

They may be physically too large...have to get exact dimensions I guess. That's probably the one thing you don't want to be cheap on, is a good PSU and I think Seasonic's are the best in the business.

1576  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com on: April 14, 2013, 10:01:45 PM
I think I'm going to start my own ASIC company tomorrow. I need some time to make, excuse me, EDIT some pictures of ASIC products already out there and make them my own. Heck, when I'm doing that I'll put up some pre-order links. Why wait? Since so many pimpled faced grown men who live with mommy have tons of money to burn I may as well cash in what I can. Payment processor? Yea right. Payments will be made directly, with your very own bitcoin address I will be emailing to you. Only 500 units will be available so make sure you jump right in.

1577  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com on: April 14, 2013, 09:16:23 PM
thanking me into putting mega hours

As I wrote very early on in this thread - these guys are 3rd level contacts with me on LinkedIn (connected through some people I trust immensely). They're also Swedish/based in Sweden, which is a whole different ball park when it comes to being able to hide your identity compared to a few other backwater countries (like the US) - it's simply extremely difficult. All the information posted (names, addresses, VAT number, company registration) etc check out.

I don't see anything being done yet to warrant the level of distrust displayed here. When they start accepting money I might go through my friends-of-friends and verify that what they're doing is legit. While I'm only a short train ride away from Stockholm myself I know ten other Bitcoin entusiasts (having been so for years) that live there and I'm sure they'd all jump at the opportunity to view a pre-production unit or two.

Do I believe they're a scam? No idea - it would just be unwise to run one out of Sweden.
Do I believe they're making their own ASICs? No, knowing the Swedish non-existent fab market I'd say they're sourced.

[blabla hero member long post history blabla]


Seriously though, why can't they just prove who they are and actually are working on something? Every phone has a camera in it. Simply take some pictures or do something to put a stop to the skepticism. Why can't they just do that once? If I were presenting a new product and it was around complete distrust and skepticism the first thing I would want to do is prove what I'm doing to everyone's satisfaction. Pictures, video, test rigs, business documents, an ASIC chip, pretty much anything that would take a very small amount of time and energy to do. If they could just do that, they would have people eating out of their hands and could charge whatever they want for their rigs. Having them priced so low makes them stand out even more of being scammers.
1578  Bitcoin / Mining / What chain of events made bitcoin crash/drop? on: April 14, 2013, 08:49:25 PM
I've been constantly reading these forums, and also other content online that I could find to figure out what started the bitcoin crash of 2013. Well, not completely crash but it certainly was a show stopper. When most exchanges ceased operations and things just went dark, I think we could label it as a "crash". Were people jumping out their windows to their death, I don't know. I haven't heard anyone committing suicide from losing money with bitcoin but you never know.

So what was the chain of events that led to bitcoin dropping so much? It had to start somewhere, right? Was instawallet? Was is news media attention? Was is the influx of new users at Mt. Gox? Could it have been all related? I'm curious as to what others have to say.

1579  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: CryptoCurrent // Bitcoin Sales - Simple & Secure on: April 13, 2013, 08:41:25 AM
I would keep personal transaction information private and just use email. If you sent funds and are going through a buy with Crypto then saying, "hey I sent in funds" or "Ok now i am waiting for my coins" I think that just fills up the forum with useless redundant information that no one will will benefit from. This is just my opinion of course. Opinions are like asshol** everyone has one.

If there is any information we all could benefit from then of course type away.

Thanks,

Michael

1580  Economy / Economics / Re: $55 - really? Really? Really? on: April 12, 2013, 04:21:19 AM
Seriously, what the hell is going on? I feel VERY lucky. On one hand I was able to sell my main coin supply on the 9th I think it was for like $247 / each. I refresh clean once in a while and that was the time. I told myself, once I see it go over $250, sell it all. I sold them all that day and a couple days later money was deposited into my bank account. The next day coin started to drop big time. Most places ceased operations, stopped business or just suspended trading until further notice. Then I had another whole wallet which I kind of forget about and tried really hard to sell those but no such luck. I pretty much have to hang on to them for a while and see what happens. My stupid fault for not remembering. That's a bad thing to do in this business.

Sorry, just wanted to post something positive in my world for once. I rarely EVER get to do that.

So what the hell is making coin go from $250 to $55 in 2 days or less? Yes, you can respond with sarcastic, anal retentive childish remarks if it makes you feel better.




How much have you been paid in Bitcoin by the Bitcoin hacker mafia to make this post?

Sorry, don't know who that person is.
