and when you say sha()+sha()+hash you really mean concatenate not arithmetic addition, right?
Just checking...

Oh don't ruin the moment, it sounded so romantic and nostalgic...

 

Are there actually 2 threads on this?
Just thought I had deja vous...

Wow, that would be great!

OK, this is getting closer to the finish line. Gotta watch! 

Cablepair, I believe this is the time for you to speak up...

It's not the ideal mining card anyways.

Yes, the board has USB on it. I also had that thought a while ago, it's probably the cheapest method to get a board with their new chip.

IMO that statement doesn't make sense to me.
With paying full cost upfront, there's no incentive for them to speed up production, it actually makes them money by delaying orders (notwithstanding the reputation issue with that). Paying only a down-payment would give them an incentive to streamline and speed up the process to recoup their investment faster.

And yes the Chinese New Year 

OK, let's try some logistic regression analysis here:
Conclusion, independent on what bitcoin is doing, decrease in nodes is bad! 

Well, I'm not so sure about that, I would think it would be unfair to sit on people's coins forever and keep the prize, in case all tickets are not sold.
That's debatable for me, and I guess many others would agree depending on how long this is going to continue, after all BTC is about the >50% 

For future raffles you might want to put in an end date in case that there are not all tickets sold. Of course then you have the issue of picking a winner with a sparse set of ticket numbers, that requires additional rules (like trying the next block if a match to a valid ticket number cannot be found, or re-indexing the ticket number base to have a new smaller set of sequential numbers).

Anyways, just more than 20% sold, that's better than last time I checked.

I'm glad to help.
Thank you for your efforts too, it was one of your posts that made me consciously aware of this; I read so many posts that there are many that just drown it the noise.

Good post, 9/11 is really hard to discuss, while it was a terrible act of terrorism, it's almost like invoking Godwin's law when brought up in a discussion. Personally I think it was a unforgivable act of American officials to attack a country as a whole for a terrorist act.  Just think about it, if there's say a group of fundamental terrorists in another western country attacking a target in the USA, the US would most certainly not start a religious war against that country but try to persuade the government of said country to assist in finding those responsible of the acts of terrorism.

But how is Iran not an Islamic country?


I understand the subtle difference between Islam as a religion and Muslim as a follower of said religion, but what specifically are you referring to that makes Iran not an Islamic country?

And how is this all related to IBB anyways?

I said it before, I support non-usurious financial practices, so I think senbonzakura deserves our encouragement, and I also said it before, even the Bible has these elements in it verbatim, but that's the part that Christianity never took that serious, I guess.

Man, you got me.
1BTC to keep the project going, more possible depending on the progress. 

Cheers!

Very interesting topic.
Watching closely...

Good info, thank you!

Yeah, I'm sure for a full mini-rig value you would immediately get the BFL guys on board and make sure I get preferred delivery (or switch places in the order line). Too bad that this wouldn't help me, on the contrary I would just make sure to immediately lose my rig-box to you.  

I might take you up on a bet (as a small hedge for lost BTC on late delivery):

If I ordered today (Sonny has consistently quoted 12-15 weeks delivery time on Mini-Rigs) I expect the Rig-Box to be shipped no later than the next business day after 15 weeks, that would be August 6 (right?).
Given the large sum the order might go through by Monday (special requirements, I'll cancel some BFL Single for that).

So my Rig-Box ordered no later than Monday April 24th (by 4pm CDT) isn't been shipped by Monday August 6 end of the day CDT, you will pay me 200BTC (nice round sum, sorry not the full rig-box amount) within 2 weeks of that date (and I reserve the right to cancel my rig-box order then).

If it gets shipped by Monday August 6 end of the day, then I'll give you the first 200BTC mined with it.

What do you say, are you interested?

That would be profitable (right now). Need to think about it.

I see your point, I'm thinking too much of a miner paying bills in $$$. But 1000BTC for 1 year @ 5GH/s is not profitable; block rewards will not stay the same as we know.
