Bitstamp if you are in the EU.

Cedivad, can I recommend you watch a film called 'The Secret'.
And i recommend you more wise ways to troll me. Icebreaker should have taught you better. You are such a fail.

So, to summarize we got a guy who cant run a business without filing for bankruptcy running The Bitcoin Foundation.
And he is now hidden at the bottom of the foundation board page. At least that.
1964  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: HashFast announces specs for new ASIC: 400GH/s on: November 05, 2013, 03:19:25 PM
The annuncment should come for the iceminer asset, so there should at least be an announcement. It will be vague and useless, yes. Then they will "carry on" until december, when they will ship from the 25th to the 31th.

And if they file for bankruptcy we will have the first open source 28nm asic design ever.
1965  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: HashFast announces specs for new ASIC: 400GH/s on: November 05, 2013, 03:00:31 PM
Predictions for today's announcement?

Batch 1 to start shipping 25th Nov

This, with a maybe added. Pics of everything in the next 10 days.
(because without the pics of everything, they will have no reason not do delay till the 20th of december)
1966  Economy / Exchanges / Re: MtGox withdrawal delays [Gathering] on: November 05, 2013, 02:36:04 PM
So mtgox is starting to receive money from the current rally and paying out the debt with these newly wired money.
Makes sense.

If i where to be able to move my bet from HF to Cointerra, i would.

Really?  You got way too much money to waste!  All that profits from Avalon B2 must have screwed with your head.  Oh well, you know what they say, easy come, easy go...
Thanks for the feedback.

I'm almost certain we'll see double digits before 2016 and single digits are a possibility.

Reasoning?

There's no virtually no demand except speculative demand (buying BTC on the belief they'll be worth more in the future), the technology is immature and the economy is practically nonexistent. Actual use (number of daily transactions) hasn't grown nearly in proportion to the rise in price. There's a lot of wishful thinking going around in the forum.

I'm not buying at these prices. Not selling either. I sold a portion of my coins in April for $192/BTC, and I do not regret that decision.
If we reach really high numbers the speculation possibilities goes down, and so do the btc price. I agree with you.
But many will use btc for the real economy there is behind it and as a store of value, so i don't see it collapsing.

In short, btc will always go up, on a logarithmic scale. What happens on the short period doesn't really matter.
1970  Economy / Speculation / Re: Did this forum turn uberbullish? on: November 05, 2013, 01:45:39 PM
well we are constantly rising, that seems like a bull market, so we should be bullish!
At $248, we are closing in on the ATH, if you can't be überbullish now, when can you?

When it was at $60? When there is more room to increase you should be more bullish in general.
I sold everything at 60. Just for the record. And the luz.
1 day later, the rally that brought us to 200+ started. And i sold the day before. FTW!
1971  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin really broken? on: November 05, 2013, 01:34:54 PM
Yes, it is.
Sell me your coins at half the price, right now.

Thanks.

Where is the PR where uniquify announced that they where on schedule for having the chips ready at the end of october? I was sure to have read it, but not it disappeared...

"we at uniquify are confident that we will see the chips ready by the end of october... bla bla". Bum, gone.
1973  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: CoinTerra announces its first ASIC - Hash-Rate greater than 500 GH/s on: November 05, 2013, 01:08:18 PM
I'm thinking of requesting a refund on my 2th.. doesn't look like they are on schedule

how are you going to get a refund?

http://cointerra.com/consumer-sales-agreement/


they are pretty clear that they don't want to ever give any money back for any reason

Sorry, Cointerra wasted all your money on a failed attempt to fix a broken chip design.

When more than a month has passed since mock tape-out, and no word of actual tape-out is spoken, we can read between the lines and see something is seriously wrong.

Cointerra probably realized their initial design was unworkable, had to start over from scratch, and then found out the second design wouldn't work either.

So far Cointerra's business model is:

1)  Collect $$$ from pre-orders and investdurrs.

2)  Waste money on failed chip designs

3)  Huh

4) PROFIT

Explain to me how this would be different from your 'heroes' Hashfast? Seems you troll every single ASIC project except the one you ordered from.

Have you been living under a rock?  The "only" difference is HashFast taped out 2 months ago, so at least, they have spent customers' money in NRE cost and making actual chips, but where is the money that went into CoinTerra's pockets?  Have anything been accomplished other than paying for Google Adwords advertisements?

Ot here anyway, i will crosspost to the right poor's thread.
1974  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: HashFast announces specs for new ASIC: 400GH/s on: November 05, 2013, 01:00:12 PM
I already said that i can't wait for the update that will never come or will be useless right?
1975  Local / Mining (Italiano) / Re: perdonatemi la mia ignoranza se acquisto 5 prosperox1 on: November 05, 2013, 12:59:16 PM
Non ho idea di quanto non-produttivo sia minare monete script, so che però lo puoi fare solo con gpu, non asic che preordinerai per poi non vederti mai arrivare.
Quindi è già molto meno peggio.
1976  Local / Mining (Italiano) / Re: perdonatemi la mia ignoranza se acquisto 5 prosperox1 on: November 05, 2013, 12:50:52 PM
Non puoi.
Puoi usare ricariche postepay, anyway.

E non comprare preordini hardware, per carità.

Guarda, ti scongiuro proprio.
1977  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What are some bitcoin companies a noob should avoid? on: November 05, 2013, 12:42:26 PM
Dang....

You don't recommend HashFast?

Who do you recommend?

Someone with hardware ready to ship.

Hashfast promised to ship by the end of october, but now screwed up everyone.
1978  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What are some bitcoin companies a noob should avoid? on: November 05, 2013, 12:36:42 PM
HashFast
Along with every other mining company.

The distance between bolts (the two flanges on the front of the case have holes for bolts) is 18 5/16" on a standard rack, therefore the MAXIMUM width of a server is 17 3/4" or it does not slide in.  
FYI:   http://www.server-racks.com/19-rack.html
Clearly I'm looking at the dimensions of an abnormal server rack (maybe an open rack?), then.  Anyway, I sent an e-mail.
No, I believe you have been given the incorrect dimensions by someone who was careless and also knows nothing about what "standards" are in the industry or they would have caught their error.   This does not inspire confidence.
Not to be a total dick here, but if they have decided to hire you as the go between for them and the forum, you need to have a slotted time each day to ask questions on the telephone.    Emailing a company that is non responsive to email is not helpful.  

At this point right now that would mean basically not getting any answers, as my e-mails go to one of their PR people and then it gets bounced to people all over apparently in the search for answers.  I can ask my contact for their phone number or skype or something if you want, but if I was on the phone with them it'd probably be, "Okay, I'll go send a message to so and so about this question."

Does anyone know a consumer protection lawyer or do you want me to go to one?
I do want you to go to one.
I tried to contact something like 10 lawyers in the state of California Saturday but have yet to hear back from even a single one. Maybe the fact that every contact form had the same pattern could be the reason, but i would really like anyone to help me contacting a lawyer.

Everybody just light up a bowl, pop a cork, pull a tab, whatever is legal is your jurisdiction... we will hear from Hashfast soon enough... although hopefully tomorrow (Tuesday, there at the practical end of the world's timezones in California).  

While I was not impressed by the stupid advertising raffle, I still think that Hashfast are fundamentally decent folks and will do right, that they intend to do what it takes to ensure that MPP customers, especially in Batch 1, make it through this delay intact.  HF can't roll back the difficulty or instantly conjure up extra boards, but they have other options already discussed here, and probably some that haven't occurred to us.  So let's see what they do.  I'm optimistic that it will work.
everyone would, if there where reasons to think so. Such as like pictures of the pcbs, real deadlines, not the middle november one that will be missed, real feedbacks from them, not them hiding behind fantasies and non existent NDAs, etc.

I can't wait for the bs tomorrow.
