take 2 btc for the business edition? Where did you get the keys from?

I think you are looking at 25 btc at the high end. If it's worth 90btc to you then you should keep it.

Thanks for the response, not sure why I thought you had 240gh. How can you pay 200gh/s worth of bonds on 160gh/s?

Thanks for the tip in the Macbook thread. If you win the bet, consider this a reward for saving me from possibly getting scammed there.

Yeh, a month ago by some guy in California, right?

I apologize if this has been answered already. What percentage of gigamining bonds are currently invested with pirate?(If any).
I always assumed all of it was.

lol Cheesy
Haha, seriously though... I know Gigavps is a pretty big pirate supporter and I also know gigavps has a ton of hardware behind the bonds. At the current difficulty, with 240gh/s, giga should be making around 770 btc a week. Coupon payments page shows him scheduled to pay out around 600 btc over 40,000 bonds. 170 BTC a week is not bad, but after DC and electricity costs that may be much less. Seems like it would be easier to invest some of those coins in a venture that returns 7% weekly and pay from there.

If the answer is 0%, how heavily are you personally invested? Is it enough to hurt your mining operation if you don't get your money back?

Just curious as I'm thinking about investing in gigamining again.

Are you serious? Search by image is rolled out years ago
It depends on what you mean by search by image.(yes I knew about images.google.com)  If I'm understanding the functionality Matthew explained correctly, it sounds like google is actually analyzing the contents of the image and looking for matching images. A simple binary comparison wouldn't be sufficient since there may be multiple images out there with different compression rates. That's pretty cool and I didn't know about it. I knew the google mobile app let you take pictures and search by image so the technology was there, but let's face it, most computer users are too stupid to know how to copy and paste a fully qualified link to an image, lowering the demand for that type of application.

This coming from a former small PPT invester and someone who met pirate in person( I bought a 5970 from him locally back in October 2011).   I became a little suspicious when he opened up investments to everyone and offered to meet people at defcon. It seemed like a last ditch effort to gather as many coins as possible before an imminent closure. People scam others all the time without the veil of anonymity, and they sometimes end up in jail. In the case of stolen bitcoins, I'm not sure how easy it would be to prosecute someone...

I really hope for the sake of the community that I'm wrong and pirate pays everyone back.

I would recommend serious buyers think twice about offering on this laptop, as someone is selling the same one on that above website (same photos, description, etc) for twice the price he's asking here. Although that alone doesn't make it a scraper-scam, it does leave an interesting question: why would anyone buy this without calling the provided phone number on the listing above and making sure it's really OP?  Roll Eyes

Good find, so what's the trick to finding recycled ads? A lot of you guys are getting pretty good at finding old craigslist ads with the same pictures. Are you just doing a google search for the listing description and hoping they just copy pasted the whole thing?

1) Go to http://images.google.com
2) Click the little camera icon in the text box
3) Paste the image URL of the scammer's
4) Look how many hits you get, paying attention to "Find other sizes of this image". This image was only used once apparently, but it's still yet to be seen if it's the same seller. I would call and confirm with the number to get this guy labeled as a scammer if it's not him.

See the search results here

Nice, I didn't know google had a search by image function. Thanks for staying on top of these guys!

I'm having the same issue this morning. Hash power was showing less than 50% of actual rate. I've switched to a backup pool until the issue is resolved.

Are both the top and bottom of the case dented? I may be interested, but probably would want to replace the shell...
1715  Other / Off-topic / Re: BTC for ASICS on: August 17, 2012, 06:16:21 AM
Wow...those who paid BTC for ASICs likely have paid in value now 200% what they could have if they just paid in fiat.

If price goes up...it could be 300%-500% at least

Sucks to be them I guess. Cheesy

Lesson: Pay in USD.  Cheesy

Actually, if someone were to know the future price of bitcoin at that point, they would have been better served purchasing $30k in bitcoins and selling for $60k today. Psychics are hard to come by though.

I'm still alive,  Undecided

It wasn't a Stolen Cards, and I was signing up myself.

And I have several half made dropbox sold, they all worked, they had to follow the directions and using a mobile app could affect the space

I followed the directions and I did receive 50gb. However, Dropbox revoked the 50gb about 10 days later without explanation. I'm assuming the accounts were not completely legitimate. Are you going to refund my BTC?

Sorry to tease, I'm going to let the minecart pay itself off one more time before I start considering any lowball offers.

BTC->$13

"I'll keep it a little longer..."

BTC->$14

"holding on for a while"
Not going to lie, increasing bitcoin value played a major part in me suspending the sale. If BFL releases ASICs in October, the rig as a whole may be worthless. However, the rig should have put around 600 - 800 dollars back in my pocket. At that point I'm assuming I can still get >200 for the PSU, maybe 250 for each 5970 and around 150 for the rest of the components.

I purchased a Dropbox 50gb upgrade from stig a while back. It worked for a little over a week, then the 50gb was revoked. Stig did not respond to my PM asking for a refund.

Working great, 7970 with flashed Ghz edition vbios at 1220/700, Windows 8, on air cooling (fan @ 100%).  700+Mh/s.  Love it.  Going to watercool to get to 800+ this week.



Does the Ghz edition bios let you pass the 150 mhz max engine memory clock diff?
