That it has!

I'll update the title.

While not every physical bitcoin is a wise investment, my Casascius coins have been very good to me, and lately people have been selling them cheap on the forums!   

I appreciate that you are investigating an internal issue, but fixing it on my end should not take any time at all.

If I make a mistake with a customer, I make it right immediately.  I ask that you do the same, and finish your
internal investigation on your own time.

The reason for placing a market order is completely negated when the market skips your order.

For anyone familiar with the #onejob twitter feed...this qualifies.

I set a sell order on the 28th for XPY at a price of 0.06 XPY/BTC and on the 30th, supposedly the price went above my 0.06 without selling my XPY!?

If you aren't familiar with an order book...the price cannot move beyond the order prices without first filling them, or at least that's how an exchange is supposed to work.

So technically, Cryptsy is failing at their primary job (the exchange of crypto-currencies), and they have not resolved my issue.

The last time the customer support rep responded to me, they said they would probably have me sell my order at current prices then refund me the difference, but then sent this:

"Hello,
Whatever you do , please do not clear the order until we have a solution and have figured out what happened
Once cleared we will have no proof the order was placed and will not be able to assist you"

This seems fishy, considering even a basic log of a chat can be recovered, so actual buy and sell orders open and closed on your system simply "disappearing" sounds like a load of BS.


EDIT:

Issue has been resolved amicably in that they honored my order.

Make sure you watch your open orders and the price, this is still the wild west and the onus is on you to get paid.

nice...and they figured out how to fund it.  I love the idea of physical geocaching with bitcoin.

If you try this, do not uncheck the "keep settings" tab and it should retain the frequency settings of your S1.

(I used the word should...maybe attempt to make a backup first, just in case)

The heatsinks just nearly bit me a few times during install, and if you have to move the units, the S3's with the box around them are easier to transport without possibly slicing your finger if you mis-handle it.  Of course, they're mostly stationary, so it really doesn't matter, mine are humming away steadily...thermal paste application is probably better than factory would've done, because I care.

Sweet thanks!  Afraid I'd done something wrong on the install when everything looked tip top.

Would've been nice if they mentioned flashing the firmware on the video though...would've had them
hashing last night at 1am.

Oh, and for anyone considering the upgrade...you're better off underclocking and undervolting your S1's and paying the extra for the nicer looking (and less dangerous, the heat sink blades are sharp) S3's or at this point perhaps the S4 if you can budget it when they announce the price.  Your money will likely go further...we've now got a pile of s1 boards we're not sure what to do with yet...curious if we can build a large underclocked undervolted machine with multiple blades.

This is the kind of news we need to free-fall right into a thermal up-draft. 

One bank says, "no, your better system confuses me"...then another says, "We're happy to take your millions, come right in, we even understand your new, improved system and want to adopt and integrate it!".

To the moon!

These little beauties did the trick, got my Neppy cubes running at full steam with ridiculous efficiency!  I'm pretty sure we'll order some of these (the upgraded hcs ones) for our Titan as well.  Hopefully they offer 2 or 3 for one on Titans because with Bitmain stepping up to scrypt mining with December delivery, I'm a little salty about not having them yet.

oh...he just didn't email us as well this time...or I missed that too...been busy...but alas, not a winner again.  Oh well, still planning on mining here with some of my rigs.

I can confirm that at least one of the winners on that list sent me pictures of their new S3 from s0br the day they got it.  I am the one that told my friend about the pool, and aside from being a bit jealous, it is legit...it is hashing now.

It does however seem that the contest has ended, and it isn't in fact, every day this month (unless he's about to announce the second half of the month now).  If so...I hope I win, if not...mining here has consistently been paying out...but I may do another comparison later today to see what pool is worth pointing at.

Looking at that screen there, 1 BTC = 7000+(obviously not dollars)?  I think if there is a setting in the Skyhook ATM to display mBTC (millibits), you'll be more likely to see people using it as the psychological barrier is reduced.  People incorrectly assume they need to buy a whole bitcoin, but with mBTC you can have hundreds without having a whole bitcoin.  If the price goes back to 1000 USD again, 1 mBTC = 1 Dollar, currently, it's about 50 cents each.

Hopefully the restaurant is accepting BTC as well, as paying for a meal with the only currency you could beam across space is awesome.

Also, host one of these: DecentralizedDanceParty.com  They're awesome, and with the right planning, could be massive and garner plenty of positive attention for your decentralized ideals.

There was actually a third room with presentations for beginners...I think Antonopolous held one of those discussions, which I sadly missed. 

I've not been to a tech show like you're talking about, but it did feel a little thrown together at times.  I think its highly likely you got to speak if you were a financial backer for the conference, which is how a lot of trade shows work...more money = more speaking time.

I found it interesting who did not show up.  Notably missing, Coinbase, KNC, Cointerra, and all of the Scrypt vendors.  I suppose the space is so new that many of these companies are not spending their capital on these conferences yet, but it was highly disappointing not to see some of the big boys rep-ing their wares at what would be considered a big event with the most targeted audience they could ever dream of.  Chicago trade shows at McCormick are where big business gets done.

That being said...Spoondoolies, Bitmain, and Rock miners are the only hardware I'd be interested in investing in right now, and isn't it interesting how those were the only mining vendors that were there with booths, which to me, says a lot about a company.

I liked the kick-off party, but I would really like to get a copy of that movie to show to my friends who have been in this with me.  It was like re-living the last couple years of my life again, because I've never been so current on current events as I was with the timeline of this movie.

I suspect next year, it will be even better, and perhaps American exchanges will decide to participate...in major American Bitcoin conferences next time, I'm talking to you Coinbase, Circle, Bitstamp, Bitfinex, and anyone else that wants my business.

That's what I do, I'm just wondering if there is a list of servers...I haven't found it yet if there is...just mining.bitcoin.cz:3333

While I certainly get that the industry was usurped long ago by several monopolies, it is still up to us as individuals to put our money where our mouth is, literally by buying products you support.

It seems overly simplistic to think that you can change the world with your breakfast cereal choice...but the truth is you can.  Create a demand for the hemp market by buying hemp...the farmers will provide whatever is most profitable to farm...stop buying GMO corn and start buying hemp.

In other news...this is my first couple days on Slush...looks like I missed the 300% surge.  Are there multiple server addresses I should be listing for slush (like two different servers for the same worker), or does it try to optimize my connection to the closest node?  I know with some pools I've had it listed on both their east and west servers just in case the closer one goes down.

Lessening or completely re-working our current energy strategy may in fact stave off large volcanic events because when the planet is healthy, it doesn't need to destroy the lecherous beings that have infected it (obviously I said "may" because it of course "may not").

Interestingly, I foresee hemp as being the number one component to inhabiting and colonizing planets that are not our own, as you could create a sort of self-replicating farm using hemp as a building material, food source, oil for engines, and a whole lot more.  Hemp nanotechnology is just getting started and supercapacitors are already being made that beat graphene for the same purpose.  

Green tech is not only the logical progression, it's capable of filling all of our wallets thousands of times over as early innovators in the space.

The republicans loved me when I was lobbying for hemp at the Capitol in Illinois, saying I wouldn't like them because they were from the wrong side of the fence...I replied that doesn't bother me...all I have to do is show you boys the money...hemp is bipartisan and multinational.

I keep daydreaming about a solar cell (made from hemp nanotubes), charging a hemp supercapacitor battery system which runs my mining rigs (which are also now printed on hemp circuit boards using special hemp microchips).  The craziest part is that all these technologies already exist, but are not yet scaled for production...that's up to us.

I think it's up to us to lessen the impact on the environment...and as mining operations get more massive, I foresee solar, wind, and
hydro generation as a necessity.  In fact, that will fast become the most profitable kind of mining operation because you're not only
mining bitcoin, but also electricity, which will mean in the future bitcoin mining operations will probably be closely linked with energy
generation as a matter of necessity.

In this way, I'd say Bitcoin is a hell of a lot greener than oil, and inspires progress in "green" technology, rather than raping our planet
for it.
