Right, because there were so many quality mining devices out there that both looked good, performed well and were affordable.  Oh wait, no there wasn't... and there still isn't.  Yes, revolutionary.  We offered a product that was stylish, performs better than the competition and is cheaper.  I'd call that revolutionary. 

Sounds like somone is angry they backed an inferior device.  You might want to read a book called "Predictably Irrational" by Dan Ariely.  It describes you fairly well, were you a subject in it?

Yeah, if BFL had only produced some revolutionary products already, it would lead some more credence to the whole venture.

You have the template for the pools block, not a solo block... so it has to be submitted through the pool to be a valid block, otherwise the key won't match the template.

I did some rough calculations based on our sales figures and at least for the case of BFL, we will not cause a 10x increase.  I can't speak for the other manufacturers numbers, of course.

I already bought this coin from him, traveled back in time and sold it back to him at a premium and he's selling it now.  Don't be fooled!

You are still submitting shares (at the appropriate variable difficulty) - you just don't need to request work constantly as you already have the block template and you build the block on your end, instead of the pool building it for you.  Every two minutes or a LP will get you an updated template to build the block off of.

Don't forget about GBT, either.  It basically reduces the outbound traffic (replacing Getwork) to 1 connection every 2 minutes regardless of your hashrate.  

That said, how does that effect efficiency calculations going forward?  Stratum is effectively the same in that regard, so if you pull a template and send back getworks, how is CGminer going to calculate efficiency or does that just become a redundant metric at that point?

Our current facility is not geared for pick ups.  The new facility will be more suited to it, so it's not out of the realm of possibility.

I hope he does. 

Not doing it for attention?  Really?  "Hey guys, I have this info, it's super secret, I'll post about it tomorrow."

"Hey guys, here's the super awesome info I found, it's got "Bitforce and Josh" in the name, it must be a super secret related stuff, I'm sure there's a connection." 

"Hey guys... "

Right... not doing it for attention.  IF you wern't doing it for attention, you'd do your research in private and then post when you had some concrete evidence of something, not forking out mindless crap to keep the natives interested while you hunt and peck your way through a ripe, lush land devoid of any real information.

If you wern't doing it for attention, you'd of at least figured out my last name by now, FFS.  But you don't care about that - you want the attention, so you keep harping on dead ends to keep the mystery alive and the attention flowing to you.

Wow... worked hard on that, did you?

You're right, it's hard to reach my stature living in your mom's basement, eating Cheetos.  Good luck, though.

PS - If you want your balls to stop turning orange, stop eating Cheetos.

Want to bet on it?

The day you are more than a foot note on my toilet paper is the day I stop reading Bitcoin Talk.

Close... it was a nice fat CJ on the throne.

I passed something, but it wasn't a mistake.

Yes, I work with a DC on the 26th floor, one on the 10th floor and another located several miles away from the downtown center.  This is, like everything else you've not found, not a secret.

I have a web hosting business, I contract out to several data center and I have for over a decade.  But wait, I'm Josh Wepman, high school student in Boulder, Colorado!  Or maybe I am Josh Groban?  Possibly Josh Harnett or Josh Brolin.  Get busy investigating those.

Please don't look too closely into Josh Duhamel though.


You didn't "accidentally" post anything.  You are being willfully negligent.  What, are you seriously trying to claim that you were just walking along, tripped and posted all these links and random words from mashing the keyboard trying to break your fall that somehow magically turned into an assault on this poor Josh Wepman kid?  Seriously? 

Yes, you're irresponsible as hell because you are willfully negligent, knowing full well what the ramifications of your actions are.  You don't give a shit about the collateral damage you cause, you just want the attention and who the hell cares if some dude in Colorado gets a bunch of shit, right?  Hell yes you should be in jail.

Has anyone contacted Steve Gibson with regards to coming?

Haha Touche!

Sort of... instead of a blueberry, it's quite possible we will turn you into one of our henchman:

I'd love to just send out the first batch with your new manufacturing equipment, but the PnP machine we are getting is a newer model than our PnP expert (Ninja lady, if you're wondering) is familiar with, so we want to get the first batch done from the current place while we gear up and start cranking out our stuff.  We are changing only one step at a time to identify any problem areas we might encounter in the manufacturing process.

Since the ASICs are all new products, sharing essentially none of the components, boards, anything from the FPGAs, we have to be pretty stringent and careful on every single step.
