Coinbase status of today is minus one dumb customer.  They didn't do the little "we deposit dust in your checking account and you tell us how much" verification dance.

Just as well, speaking epnomously.
1685  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you know anyone in the REAL WORLD who has bought bitcoin? on: November 27, 2013, 01:30:48 AM
no

I tried to, but Coinbase didn't do the little "we deposit dust in your checking account and you tell us how much" thingy.

Just as well, eponomously speaking.

On top of this, I have over $100,000 on the sidelines right now that I am waiting to put back into mining equipment once the difficulty becomes more predictable and your company is in consideration if you are able to actually deliver your 28nm products with a reasonable price, hashrate, and power consumption.

Let's play jeopardy.

A:  This guy.

Q:  Who in the world would be stupid enough to be burned by BFL twice?

1692  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Next difficulty ~670,000,000 ? on: November 12, 2013, 02:04:39 AM
plenty of diff reducing blocks for the first couple days.  rising since then to +33%.  about 7 or 8 days to go.  So, the subconcious says .......


21% rise next diff, resulting in 618,224,682

Except just now when I checked the present diff for the math, it was showing 11+ minute blocks, so I'm changing the next difficulty to .....

597,490,873

Two guesses for the price of one.

EDIT:  Got fooled by a page cache.  I"m disavowing my second guess.

This thread revealed one thing Silly Bitcoin dislikes more than bitcointalk.org - the Bitcoin Foundation.

On a similar, though separate note, fractional reserve banking allows banks to use ten percent reserves of depositors to lend out an additional 90% (though it may be even worse now than in the past.) So say I have $1000.00 in the bank. The bank will take that money, and lend it out, with an additional 90% more to a borrower. Where, you ask, does the bank get this additional 90%? It creates it out of nothing. The money does not exist.

Pardon me for eavesdropping, I'm just trying to increase the number of threads i'm too dumb for.

In your narrative, shouldn't you be saying, "....the bank will hold my $1000 as a 10% reserve on the loan of a non-existent $10,000..."? 

In effect, the bank is adding 900% to your deposit to make the loan, not 90%.

With the usual ~70 Day turn-around for Chips   tits, that puts you a little past mid January for your first silicone.

See, this is why I had to put the guy on ignore.  Sometimes he just gets it wrong.  Plenty of poor schmucks with a big electric bill in one hand and an empty hacked wallet in the other would agree.

Nintendo games were not a good store of value either, but wait another 100 years and see how much people are willing to pay for a contra game.   

Glad I'm hanging onto my VHS tapes.

I wonder if Cornell professors are accountable for lapses in ethical academic behaviour?

Take away five CS scholarships and ban them from College Bowl for two years.

Actually, I have seen 4 Petahash before, now it is 3.2. If people are turning stuff off, they are turning A LOT off.

Well, you gotta ship to your customers eventually.
