Let me get this straight. Goat is a scammer now? Is it just me or does it seem like so many of the old school people who have been around so long eventually scam people? How is it that some of the richest people in BTC become scammers?
Goat has always been a scammer. The only reason anyone even knows who he is, is because he threw around a lot of BTC that he scammed through various GLBSE offerings. I've been saying this for literally years now... Why the entire community isn't aware that he is a scammer, I have no idea. I wish I had kept better records of the BTC I lost in the various Tygrr crap offerings... Might be worth doing some digging if there are actually funds to be claimed. |

Quote below regarding a change in compensation for our script miner order. Greetings Miners!
After long consideration, lengthy negotiations with our vendors/partners and downright demands being placed from our side in light of competitiveness within the market we have decided to further cut our profit margins and are extraordinary pleased to announce that we will be packing more hash power into your batch 1 devices (whilst scaling power accordingly so not to worry on that front):
The new hash rates are as follows:
90Mh/s => Minimum 250Mh/s
This does not come with some compromise however and after taking your feedback into consideration we know that hash rate and power is your main point of concern when it comes to our miners. This is a "you can't have everything" situation: hash rate + fancy features. As a result of this decision we *are* able to upgrade your devices but as we're going more "back to basics" with the miners and the following features will have to be removed from the units to save both costs, space and speed up the manufacturing process:
- The Viper’s will no longer have LCD displays.
- Wi-Fi functionality will be dropped.
- WebGUI will not be included; the miners will run through a wired USB and ethernet connection fully supporting standard mining software.
As for the free cloud hashing, this will of course no longer be offered as the new hash rates make the cloud redundant for now; we currently have one of the most if not the most competitive offer on this market considering we are still on track for July with the same price. |

We had to borrow to pay for it. It would be embarrassing to have to borrow more. Let's not gamble as there is no guarantee price will go up.
I went ahead and paid for the remainder of our order. Now back to the waiting game. |

In hand miners are always better than pre-orders.
By the time Alpha ships their miners will be competing with a flood of ZeusMiners that started shipping 2 days ago.
Zeus is very focused on it's OEM's as well. Alpha will have to put out 1 gh/s units to make a dent when they ship.
It is crazy how fast scrypt mining is hitting and the manufacturers are getting it out the door. They all learned from the SHA-256 ASIC miner influx.
The longer any of them take to ship the less use they will be as the smaller companies are focused on getting the units out now not some distant ship date they may or may not make.
Yes, but I think the ZeusMiners are ~20% less efficient and ~20% more expensive. Alpha Technologies is also giving us 200MH/s in hosted mining power. That shouldn't be taken lightly. I am nervous about not paying for the remainder of our order while we can, but I'll roll the dice and see how it goes if we want to see how far this rally will run. |

If this final payback doesn't effect the shipping queue, and they are not shipping until July anyway, maybe its best to wait a few weeks and see how the BTC exchange rate fairs. Might at least be able to shave 1 to 2 BTC off the final payment. If the exchange rate rises to $750 the current holding would be enough to pay it off, not to mention any other mined BTC generated in the meantime.
Now that we have the funds on hand... Do we want to try and time the market to get the best deal or should we take advantage of the recent price run to complete our order while we can? |

And who is this "Free hugs" jerk?
It's Tradefortress, he just changed his name and is trolling to add insult to injury. What an asshole. What evidence do you have for that statement? Click his trust rating. It's TradeFortress. |

Greetings Miners!
We're happy to inform you that development is finalizing and we are on track for shipment in July. We will soon receive our chips at which time we will have finished up on development and can begin assembling the devices.
Therefore, it is now time to collect the remainder of the funds for your order(s).
The invoice for your order(s) have been sent via email to your registered email address. You will be able to pay the invoice by logging in to "My Account" on our website where you will find a "pending" order for the amount due. A new order number has been created for the final payment. However, this number does not relate to your place in the queue; shipping is still based on your earliest order number. This is great news and concerning news at the same time. At the current exchange rate, we owe 13.17 BTC for the remainder of our order. This is concerning because we currently only have ~9 BTC in holdings. If anyone is able to lend the 4 BTC needed to pay for this, please let me know. |

Well, another BFL power supply bites the dust. I got home from work and it looks like it died just before I got home - maybe 15 minutes before.. Anyway, I threw in another power supply I had ordered to have on hand in case.. and the single is back up!
They must not travel well... It seems of the 5 Singles I sent out, 2 have had the PSUs die. Thank you for supplying another power supply. So it looks like of the 5 singles, only 3 are currently online. 1 is waiting for a replacement PSU and the other hasn't been able to successfully get on the pool yet. Hopefully all of these issues stabilize in the near future. Watch NBA logo usage claims, big corporate
All in good fun. |

It might be cool to see what kind of promotional images fans could come up with. If you've got some graphic design skills, I'd love to see your "Nasty" fan art.  Figured I'd try and get the ball rolling.   |

Good news from Black Arrow regarding their progress. Looks like these will start shipping very soon. We have received the SMT assembled boards.
We are now proud to announce that Black Arrow has the most power efficient Bitcoin ASIC on the market today.
A single dual chip board is hashing with absolutely no errors at 1Ghz while using 150Watt at the wall, including the PSU loss.
We have better efficiency than 0.75Watts/ghash at the wall.

I made 2 inserts (shown below) that I've been including with our coins to try and promote the pool. This made me think it might be cool to see what kind of promotional images fans could come up with. If you've got some graphic design skills, I'd love to see your "Nasty" fan art.  New Member Coin Sales  |
