Whew BTC is looking so strong these days. No stopping this mega-Titan.

Is anyone else starting to get a bit excited? I am .... not a huge amount of waiting left... !

I started an OKPAY withdrawal from GOX.

I'll really happy if it takes less than 4 days... last time I did it, it was ridiculous...

Kano isn't too blame here.

It is totally reasonable that he should get units for his contributions.

It's not favoritism or nepotism or what-not. He has rare useful skills which he is being equitably rewarded for having.

It's similar to how a video game company can get early free prototype video cards from NVIDIA so that they can use, promote, and program for them in advance.

BFL shipping out sample units to journalists to drum up more pre-order sales before even shipping in any reasonable quantities to very old orders -- that's different imho, and not as easily justifiable.

If they exist, were able to be delivered in less than ...3 months at the latest, and the company was trustworthy, then yes, Jalap's would be worth it.

But I don't think any of this ^^^ is the case.

Tough call. Everyone's situation is just a little bit different.

Personally I'm out in late June. Partly though because my few mining rigs seem to be taking like 5 hours of maintenance a week as of late.

GPU mining is in terminal decline though. It's pretty much over. We are on third gen mining now; it's the ASIC era.

However I'm not saying there will not be profit to be made in GPUs still...especially if you'll be working on the ALT coins, such as the very promising upcoming Netcoin, for which no ASICs will be working on.

ya I always tell myself I'll never use it again and then somehow it always manages to work its way back into my transactions and trading.

I'm going to really KRAKEN it up soon though. I agree, I should not be using gox...

Wow Frizz, you're not having an easy time in this thread are you ?

Personally I don't see how a USD to OKPAY withdrawal confirmation can take more than 4 or 5 days.....it's like didn't we invent computers to handle this sort of thing ?

Holy crap this is huge news. Surprised I wasn't aware of this until now (thanks OP).

That sucks. I enjoyed and had a lot of success at selling some fringe alt coins for usd on Vircurex.

^^^^ that's pretty interesting. I was under the [apparently false] impression that those Catalyst 13.x beta drivers weren't all that great.

Wow all sorts of ASIC offers coming out of the wood work.

I give this one a 'thank you sir, please come again'.  Chance of legitimacy? I'd put it at ....   4 to 6% ..

I just don't trust anyone that Capitalizes random words, especially. 

I have a hard time with this as well.

I think I could reasonably outline Bitcoin in a paragraph or two. But when friends ask me about how it works, all I can do is mumble something about 'cryptography' and basically just say its a 'online currency based on codes' which doesn't do it all nearly enough justice.

Earth is a just a Coin on the intergalactic markets and we all mine it down here.

Last I heard EarthCoin was hovering at about 0.0015 UniverseCoin's.

The Biggerburger group is trying to bring us down....in order to prime us for a big pump & dump.

And don't even get me started on the Zeta Reticulans!

Took a few moments of puzzlement and contemplation, but do believe for the graphs, PV is 'page views' . Not sure of the other metric. But the graphs show the amount of traffic their site is getting in the lovely China part of the world.

Well this looks promising to me.

Good luck !  Will be following your announcements.

Couldn't hurt to use the "AMD driver uninstall tool" [available for only Windows 7] to completely clean out your drivers, and then reinstall them.

AMD drivers have tendency to critically mess up and then not uninstall correctly.

Though yes, your problem does sound to be more likely a hardware issue .

I pretty much agree with everything arsenische said, and concur that people are consolidating right now.  

But now that is settled any other theories ?  I remember reading something about MTGOX changing it's policy on bots, or limiting bots some how (or may the volume of thos 0.01 trades) around the time that this period of stability began. I wonder if that is a factor; I can't recall too many more specific details about it though, it might have happened or maybe someone just postulated that ...

Really unfortunately, I don't think this is the case.  It looks like BFL is still selling a few hundred units a day, I think it was between 250 and 400 on average.

The unwashed Internet masses are not as informed as us who follow the forums.  People are still handing over tons of cash to BFL with no idea that they stepping into a semi illegitimate boondoggle. 

In the best of cases it's a complete fabrication to promise any timely delivery of 'pre-orders' when there are untold thousands of orders before yours already made, and the company hasn't even been able to finalize a prototype yet.

Really getting excited about this design . Keep up the good work BKKCoins.. !

OKPay appears to be back for BTCE now though. Thanks anyways OP.
