This is a HIGHLY RISKY proposition for the sender of the cash who cannot insure it's arrival by any known means.  Video taped packages do not have any legal standing. 

If you send the OP money and he says he didn't receive it you are F'D.


buyer runs similar services and is posting scam accusations in all competing service offer threads.

This calculation is based on Boltzmann's constant which is classical physics.  Not sure if quantum effects can theoretically do better.
"quantum physics" doesn't work that way. What you're probably talking about is quantum computers, which can solve certain problems faster than a traditional computer.

Then the whole auction turns into an expensive trollfest benefiting the site owner. Bonus: site owner bids 1 BTC just to attract trolls. Tongue

I thought we were over the questions of bidding on our own actions? It's not happening.
No, that was hypothetical. Hence the "bonus".
2145  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Minimum spec vps to support bitcoind? on: June 14, 2013, 02:36:14 PM
My experience has been different. On my 768MB openvz VPS bitcoind kept getting killed due to out of memory conditions. So I think you need 1-2GB just to be safe.
How often does it crash? My 512mb ubuntu VM is stable for at least 12 hours at 65% mem usage. Swap space is barely being used.

If you are worried about your data not being safe you can get a KVM VPS and encrypt the filesystem that holds the wallet and bitcoind.
LOL

If someone has physical access to your server, you're not safe
If someone has root access to your server, you're not safe
If someone has hypervisor to your server, you're not safe

Then we have to move to all the special cases in Batch #2, which have not been sorted out yet, probably all those who have an unconfirmed order from Walletbit in Batch #2 wave 1.

That will be another week of work, at least.
Why would that take a week?

Do you realize how many Batch #2 wave 1 walletbit issues there are? All of those need to be handled, and at the current speed they work their way through their tickets, it might take longer than a week. Have you ever opened a ticket at their system? :-)
but how does that take a week? most of the delays would be from communication between walletbit and avalon. But that wouldn't cause any delays because they can be making units simultaneously.

how does RMA issues imply "not shipped"? I'm not following your logic.

Ask those from Batch #1 who are still waiting for either replacement parts or even their shipment. They were supposed to be dealt with before Batch #2 ships out

Anyways there are 2 threads about Batch #2,

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=146451.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=167726.0

I invite you to post your hypothesis that Batch #2 has fulled been shipped and see how the bulk of open orders reacts...

As for Batch #3, back to your initial post

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=203745.msg2434796#msg2434796

the reality is Batch #3 owners are not to expect their units soon. End of June would be even optimistic...

Prove me wrong though ;-)
I still don't see how a few RMA from previous batches will cause delays. You do realize that just because RMA takes forever doesn't mean they're spending all their time on RMA, right? It's not some strange bureaucratic process that takes a week.

Also, their goal was batch 3 shipped by end of june.

lolwut? watch list = "bookmarks" for the forum.

You put a deposit down to cover shipping(.239)
You sign an NDA to not reveal anything about the testing.
You do not post videos or pictures or talk about the device in general.

I agree with all the conditions except for the 1st. I request escrow until the unit is delivered.

User "kodo" is spamming nonsensical replies in the technical support board. In addition, he's posting meaningless and worthless replies in other forums. I'm not sure if he's post whoring or he's just misguided. Either way, his spam rate of 26 posts per day has to stop.





Some low quality postings from other forums:

512mb will run just fine. I've tested it myself with: Ubuntu server 12.04 LTS + bitcoind 0.8.2 in vmware. Memory usage sits at 60%.

I want to buy an iPhone 4S. My offer is $250 USD shipped (BTC equivalent) for an iPhone 4S. Any carrier, any storage, blacklisted IMEI/ESN is OK. Price is negotiable.

edit:
No other models accepted, no cracks either. Scratches are ok but will seriously hurt my valuation.

I have a new one. $300 shipped. Firm

If you sent the transaction:
Why waiting? Afaik it's not necessary but I may be wrong.
You need to wait a few days for the transaction to drop from the memory pool. If you don't wait, the current implementation will treat it as an double spend attempt.

But if the 1 BTC user is outbid, people will call shenanigans on the auction. Why would someone pay more than 1 BTC to get 1 BTC?
To troll the person bidding 1 BTC.

I'd almost bid 1.00000001 just to troll anyone who bid 1.
Then the whole auction turns into an expensive trollfest benefiting the site owner. Bonus: site owner bids 1 BTC just to attract trolls. Tongue
2159  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / FAQ: All About Unconfirmed 0 Confirmation Transaction Fee (READ before posting!) on: June 12, 2013, 10:27:07 PM
I have an unconfirmed transaction and/or it is confirming super slow. What should I do?
Be patient and wait. The transaction should confirm within 5 days. If it does not, tell the sender to resend with a fee. Do not ship goods without at least 1 confirmation. Please do not ask for help; it will not speed up confirmations.


Blockchain.info says it should be confirmed by now, but it is still not confirmed!
Blockchain.info's confirmation time is just a guess. Confirmation times may vary wildly, so do not be concerned when your confirmation time is long. Sit tight and your transaction will confirm.


How can I speed up confirmation in the future?
Use a wallet with dynamic fees (most do nowadays) and use the recommended fee set by the wallet. For fastest confirmations, always set dynamic fee to be the highest estimate.


How does Bitcoin's fee policy work?
Transaction fees are based on the size of the transaction. Sending to many recipients, or sending from a wallet that received "dust" transactions will increase transaction size. How much fee you pay matters as well; 0.001 btc/kb will confirm within the next block whereas 0.0001 may take several blocks. These policies are in place to prevent large blocks (bad for miners) and transaction spam (bad for everyone running a full node).


How do I resend a transaction?
Bitcoin-qt will rebroadcast unconfirmed transactions every 30 minutes or so. As long as the sender has his client open, the transaction will be rebroadcast.


How do I resend a transaction with extra fee?
For Bitcoin Core users:
  • Right click the transaction and choose "Abandon Transaction"
  • Send the coins again with a fee
Third party client users


How do I remove an unconfirmed transaction?
If you do not want to see the unconfirmed transaction, you can remove the transaction from your wallet. Once the transaction gets confirmed, it will reappear in your wallet.

Have you tried manually synchronizing your time with window's time servers? If you fail to synchronize with windows time, it means there's an issue. In some cases, your computer time may appear to be correct, but your timezone is set incorrectly, resulting in incorrect time.
All good guesses.  Checked the timezone is set correctly for Utah and it sync'd just fine to the server.  Still have the message.  

I have a file synchronizer program I wrote a few years ago and if there was anything wrong with my systems date/time it would be barfing up 10 thousand files, but it is working fine.  Maybe it's time I pulled in the bitcoin source and started becoming a power-user myself.
that's not going to help

check the source for the warning: src/util.cpp


so either:
a) every peer you're connected to is trolling you
or
b) your system time isn't correct.
