Impex FTW

Using the MTGox Yubikey on a site other than MTGox is not Two-Factor Authentication.  It's two password authentication.

http://us.thedailywtf.com/Articles/WishItWas-TwoFactor-.aspx

It's no different than the stupid banking sites asking for "mothers maiden name" as their "2FA."  It's a joke and not any more secure than using one password.  It's basically the TSA of Password security.  Elaborate, complicated security theater that accomplishes nothing, except to give you a false sense of security.

Don't do it ... get a real Yubikey or Google Authenticator.

OMG you have got to be shitting me.  

Fixed most of the pressing issues?  What issues have been fixed?  There's no mobile support.  There's no moderator support. There's no subscription support.  There's no advanced editor support.  There's no useful search feature. There's no reputation support.  There's no auction support. There's no classified support.  There's no spam protection.  There's no image gallery.  There's no attachment management.  There's no streaming/AJAX thread updates. There's no advanced profiles.  There's no anything, except a forum built in the 1990's.

I can't seriously believe you just said you fixed most of the pressing issues.  Use modern forum software.  All of the above is included in modern forum software either out of the box or with simple plugins.  Stop this silly nonsense about reinventing the forum wheel and creating software from scratch.  Pick a modern package and go with it.  

Heh... "SMF works pretty well now."   It's like saying "My horse and carriage work pretty well no, we don't need those new fangled 'automobiles'".

Aw screw it, I see how this is going to play out, so let me just take care of it now:

while ($bitcoinINV['proof'] == "") post("Still waiting on proof...");

Ok, that should cover the rest of your posts in this thread.

And we're still waiting on the proof...

Here's my prediction for BitcoinINV's "proof"

Still waiting for the proof of the "facts."

No, we are waiting on our ASIC chips right now, as I've stated in a number of other places, though it's understandable if you have missed the posts, since they are spread out everywhere.

Then do it or shut up.


Wait, I thought it was fact, not opinion?  Which is it?

Heh.. if you say so!

It's not about competition.  It's about two things:

1. (Are) You are scamming your users.
2. Are you screwing your users.

If you don't know what you're doing, you are doing one of the above.  If you've actually read everything there is to read about running a pool and you are still doing proportional, you are both scamming and screwing your users.  If you haven't read everything there is to read, then you are screwing your users. 

A pool is not a website.  You can't run it like one and you can't treat it like one.  You are dealing with peoples money, as such, you have both a higher level of responsibility to operate the pool properly and a higher expectation of ability on the part of the users.  Generally speaking, you can't run a pool on a shared host, it won't scale.  Again, a pool is not a website. 

Here's the first warning sign that the pool is going to fail:


You don't even know what "fair" is in this context, so how can you treat people fair?  Of the many pools that have come before you, every one of them said basically the same thing and they all failed because they simply did not understand the requirements of running a pool or even what "fair" is.  You need to understand the terms, you need to understand the meaning of "fair" in the context of Bitcoin (hint: It's not proportional), there are many things you need to understand and from what you've written you do not understand any of them unfortunately. 

Good luck with your endeavor, but I can tell you it's bound for failure given everything that's been said here so far. 

I have purchased the two codes listed above and a 59.90 code from him.  So far, so good. They all worked fine, and assuming no charge backs after 30 or 45 days, I'd give him an A+. 

How exactly is your pool a PPS pool that "only pays out when we get paid?"  That's not PPS.  Also, what happens if a block runs long, how are you going to pay the PPS shares when you only receive 50 BTC and you have 75 BTC worth of shares?

That would not be true.  EMC, BTCguild, Slush and Eligius are all ready and waiting for ASIC.

Yes, I know what you're talking about.  I know that you have lied to government officials in a signed document.  It'll probably never come back to haunt you, but dang man... risk vs. reward is pretty crazy on your false statements to the AG, and for what?

People attacked you because it's clear you are lying and it's clear that everything you post is essentially crazy talk.  Ya can't argue with crazy!

What myth would that be?  On another note, you said you had more than one pre-order.  Please give me the pre-order numbers so that I can get you refunded.  As I said in other threads, you have *NEVER* requested a refund.  Not once. 

You young'uns... back in my day we played in half masks and short sleeves.  I still play in short sleeves, but I do have a full face mask now.  Also, what's with modern fields limiting FPS to 250 or under?  What ever happened to 300 FPS as the standard?  250 is for cats.

Damn, my plans to collect the booty are foiled! 

45%... do I hear 40%?

Forgive me if I am mistaken, but aren't you scheduled to ship in January?  Assuming Tom is on time (and there's no reason to think he isn't) between Tom and BFL, yes I expect 150 TH to be shipped by the end of January.  If you're shipping in December, then I retract my statement.  We should have our entire pre-order backlog cleared in January, assuming all goes according to plan. 

As far as the "barely any profit" per month goes, that only applies to devices with GH/w ratios.   The more efficient devices should remain profitable for a very long time.
