So each coin is loaded with .25BTC??
No, they don't have any Bitcoin value. At the time of minting 1 Oz of silver was approximately .25 BTC. |

Dank, someone needs to get you a puppy. If someone who didn't know you read like 99.95% of your posts, they would think you are either a stoner or suicidal.

His account was indeed compromised.
Is it back under Hugo's control? I will remove my negative trust if it is. |

About 5 hours left until the end at 10 PM Eastern Time.

Those are FPGAs, which are for mining SHA Coins, they will not work for Scrypt coins. Your best bet is to build your rig yourself, or you will end up seriously overpaying. That $2000 rig that was proposed will probably end up being $4k+ if you tried buying it from a large retailer like Dell. If you find just a random person on Ebay selling rigs, you may end up around $3k, but thats still a huge additional cost. As for the FPGAs, there are absolutely no pros, and only cons. |

Take my high bid now and I wont ask you to escrow, will send payment direct.
I'm sorry, I plan to let the unofficial auction end at the time I specified (11 hours from now) I say its an unofficial auction, as people are welcome to redact offers. If someone backs out, I'll just ask the next highest bidder if they want it. |

I shall put a hard deadline on the Bitfury and make this an unofficial auction, since I wouldn't be upset ending the listing here although I still do believe it could go higher.
At 10PM Eastern Time on Friday the 3rd of January (a little under 22 Hours from time of this post) I will sell the unit to whoever is the highest bidder. I will host the unit for your pool for free until I ship it on Monday, as I won't be able to ship it out on Saturday, and that way as soon as you get it, you can just plug it in and it will be mining for you.
I will include free priority shipping within the US, however if you want it overnighted I will ask for the difference in cost. Iff you are outside of the US we can talk about shipping options, And as I said in the OP, I have a 350 Watt new Rosewill PSU in box that I can sell if you need one, that should run this guy should you decide to just about fill it up with additional Bitfury HBoards, a 400 Ghash system should pull 350-400 watts, so I wouldn't recommend the PSU for that.
If you have any additional questions, please ask.

well, they just divided thread by "spam type".
It's still the same mess and actually I expected a much stronger line from bitcointalk
That it is, its still the crammed messy organized chaos that we have grown to love, however you should now be able to more or less what sort of spam you are looking for, be it mining help, looking for a new coin, or looking to buy/sell stuff. All of our expectations were zero, so the subforums are blowing minds. Well I didn't expect this to happen. Seems like more work for the mods though.
Very slightly, its divided just enough to soothe my OCD fueled homicidal rage that built inside of me everytime I saw someone try to sell something, or announce a new interesting service and their listing disappeared under piles of "BUY BUY BUY THIS NEW SCAMCOIN OR YOU WILL BE SORRY" Good luck SaltySpitoon...
Hehe, thanks. Ugh, and so it begins...

Closure for me. Yes, I know there is the drama too but not my goal.
I'm just done with it, and will move on. Good to let it go after all these years.
Well I'm glad to hear it. If you actually need more closure, please try pming gmaxwell first. I'm sure you can have a much more reasonable and productive conversation between the two of you without others butting in.
That is not at all what happened. Offering a bounty for real evidence is not the same as trying to frame someone. However in the end it seems people are willing to attempt to frame him to collect the bounty, thus the bounty was removed. I have no desire for him to be punished for something he did not do.
On a lighter note, keep the bounty up, I was going to talk to gmaxwell about flying him to Europe to meet a woman under the age of concent in the U.S, but not in Europe (maybe 17 in France or something like that) and splitting the 200 BTC bounty  |

@SaltySpitoon
He never really apologized. At the time I was trying to make the best of his abuse. I still had a pool to run.
What he did was wrong and yes it has bothered me for years. I'm not sure what part of the world you live in but here if someone said that to your face you would get your ass kicked.
Where I'm at, no one would understand what a pool is, and just shoot you when they hear the word money (not here for a toughness pissing contest though, tis a joke) My point is, what reason did you have for making this public? Even if it has been bugging you for years, couldn't you have just pmed gmaxwell, said you were thinking about it, and talked to him rationally about it? From your posts, I'd take away that you are more interested in the public drama than actually rectifying a situation that no one knew about or remembered until now. Wouldn't a private apology which you probably could have got had you just talked to the guy reasonably been just as good if not better than the asinine public apology you are trying to get now? If there was ever any link to you and money laundry/weapons/cp, its now that you brought it up again. Now it will be another two years before people forget about this if they do at all, the community is much larger than it was back then. I'd be surprised if gmaxwell gave you another apology, unless he is just trying to be the better man and end it there. Had it been me that you had this confrontation with years ago, and you decided to bring it up in such a manner, I'd be right back at your throat taking back what apology I have you back then, and we would be mortal enemies. We are both stubborn and confrontational people Goat, you have to learn how to use it and not make an ass of yourself. Assuming I'm completely wrong in my assessment, and this thing has been stinging away at you every night as you fall asleep, and you decided that you finally want more closure on the matter, this is definately the worst possible way to get it. If you thought this was a remotely good idea, you were mistaken. Can you think of one possible postive outcome that could come out of this? If not, I stand by my conclusion that you were fully aware that you could have just talked to gregory man to man and got that closure you needed, privately and mended any residual hurt feelings. Now, you just amplified them. [/pissedoffDoctorPhil] |

"I did not intend it as accusation, I thought I was adequately clear: I do not know, and I'm looking for answers. I posed a hypothetical— If you are not in, in fact, engaging in a business which facilitates flimsy bitcoin laundering via mining then I am apologetic for implying otherwise."
That was his "apology".
I tried to deal with it as best as I could back then as a mod was openly suggesting what I was doing was a crime. No one would find his actions reasonable.
He failed to understand what was going on and started making stuff up.
His original accusation doesn't sound very malicious. So what should someone who's been mining for you do when after they use their mined coins to buy Alpaca Socks law enforcement shows up and tells them that their coins were the marked proceeds from a sting operation related to drugs, arms sales, child porn trade, or that they were bitcoins reported previously stolen and that they have a warrants to seize all their computers to look for evidence?
The word on IRC is that these private services which pay >100% PPS in BTC for mining are doing this because they're attempting to get rid of 'dirty' coins which could potentially be traced in exchange for freshly mined coins. Certainly this is the only thing I've heard that makes any economic sense at all, but if it's true don't the miners have a right to know what role they're playing in this and what risk they're taking?
Have I got it wrong? Can you help me understand what the business is here?
So basically you are saying, you have decided that you can get a better apology out of him than the one you accepted two years ago, because you aren't a new member in the Bitcoin scene. I can't believe that you would hold a grudge for two years, holding out for a better apology. He gave you one, you accepted it, the issue has been resolved for two years, get over it. I highly doubt you will find any support carrying on with it. I like you Goat, but this irritates the hell out of me. If you feel the issue has been opened again for some reason, other than your doing, fine. But stop playing the victim. Unless gmaxwell said to you the other day, "Hey hows the ole money laundering pool going you slimey bastard" I'd guess that he rubbed you the wrong way recently over something, and you decided to bring it back up. I'm not defending gmaxwell, he could have worded his question better to make it less accusational as not to offend you. But this was two years ago... You said yourself that the situation was rectified. But I'm voicing my opinion on the matter because I'm grinding my teeth reading over the stupidness that is your boredom or stubborness, or whatever made you decide to reignite this. But whatever it is, its completely on you, of course unless like I said a moment ago, gmaxwell brought it back up in some way, which for some reason, I pretty well doubt. You are not a victim here, you are stubborn, bored, stupid, or just had a score to settle for something recent and decided to use old news in your defence. |

Jesus Goat, I know you better than gmaxwell, so take this from a friend to a friend, but you are totally instigating this entire thing. There is not a single doubt in my mind that gmaxwell hasn't said a single thing to you since you guys resolved the issue 2 years ago, and now you are just being a drama queen. He made a statement two years ago ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=54467.msg725229#msg725229 ), you guys fought over it, he apologized, and then out of the blue you bring it up again years later because you are no longer struggling to make it, and don't have to worry about saving face. Suck it up, stop making threads, and make up god dammit. Like I said, I don't know gmaxwell really all that well, but he doesn't seem to be the confrontational sort. I read the thread, he accused you in the most polite possible way, asking if you were money laundering to be able to offer 115% PPS, you two got into a spat, and he apologized. What makes this more relevant now? Did he accuse you again, or are you just whining for the sake of whining? Man the hell up, and talk to who you have a problem with, you don't need to display it and create a show for all to see. I'm going to be the better man here gmaxwell and just leave this. If you want to apologize for your actions it would be well received. If you think what you did was morally correct then we will have to agree to disagree on the matter.
This infuriates me... you keep talking like he never apologized, and even hinted that he changed the quotes around in one of your other threads. He can't edit your threads... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=62139.0@Maxwell,
I accept your apology as I believe it to be sincere.
Honestly I do not need to tell you my business model as you are not the bitcoin police but I will tell you it does not involve anything you suspect. Nothing at all is illegal and no one outside of the bitcoin world would care what I do. It is not laundering.
Yes, I pay $1.15 for something you only see worth $1.00. This is why there is a free market with out someone wanting something more/less than someone else the price would never change. I am able to do something you do not understand. That does not mean it is illegal. If you truly were only out to protect bitcoin you would not have acted in the way you did.
I will one day explain what I am doing to the public and I am very proud of what I have done. A handful of trusted members already know and I thank you guys for keeping it a secret this long:) Respect!
@rjk
I did not link Maxwell to this, he did it himself. Maxwell is the only link to this child pron market that I can find. No one I know has heard of such a thing. At the time I assumed it was a real place but looking back I think he might have just made it up as a "hypothetical". I honestly hope it is just hypothetical because that would be a new low for bitcoin. I do hope will make a thread and clear this up if it is, I would hate for him to be quoted in the media:(
@ everyone else,
I would consider the questions answered and replying to this would be off topic. The exception to this would be if you have evidence, then by all means post it directly here. If you would like to start a new thread related to speculation and rumors on IRC then please PM a link and I will respond there.
Also because Maxwell apologized and was clear he had no evidence the bounty has been retracted. We should end this here and now.
Thank you.

0.6BTC
Noted, 0.6 BTC is the highest at the moment. I'll probably take the highest offer in the thread in about a day, and then host it for the buyer's pool until Monday when I will ship, since having it shipped over the weekend isn't a great plan. |
