I am unfamiliar with p2pool, but is it possible to see individual statistics unlike on Cex?  that would also explain why they didn't switch, as it would have been apparent that each share was not 1 gh/s after all.

No it isn't a fixed 1 GH/s, but if they were mining with 1150 GH/s like they are supposed to be on Cex.io and so is AmHash, then the payouts should be rather similar, minus the maintenance fees difference.  1 GH/s on the pool will mine what 1 GH/s mines each day at the same pool, doesn't matter which company that 1 GH/s is for.  So, they should be mining with 1150 GH/s, it shouldn't matter about any "improved efficiency" as you should still be seeing 1 GH/s worth of mining each day.

I guess they need to better explain what they mean by, "improved efficiency".  Because it certainly shouldn't/couldn't mean that the rigs are running faster, as the only reason for the switch then would be to line their pockets even more.

Slightly improved performance?  Each share represents 1 GH/s, and they should be at 1150 GH/s no matter the pool, any improved performance of units are going straight into their pockets, or is the contract changing and they are paying more out to people than 1 GH/s?

This sounds like a ponzi, avoid like the plague or get robbed.  Please remove this topic otherwise you will be considered as trying to scam people.

EDIT:  Looked at website, is most definitely a ponzi, do not do business with this person.

Getting really excited for the launch with all the new features that have been hinted at.  Could you possibly hint if there will be options to buy and sell points on the spread bets?

Can you share any data on expected profits and other expenses involved?

LOL, imagine if amazon, ebay, and paypal started accepting bitcoin and people were complaining that it was making bitcoin too valuable.

Marco, this is DebitMe (30482) from Just-Dice, Hi!  Love that the site is back up.  Also following this thread now.

I am looking to put 1 btc into CLAM.  I will exchange them at a rate of .0018 btc ea.  Please comment if interested, will not send first.

EDIT:  No longer needed.

If there are issues or questions about anything, I would be willing to stand in as an escrow for membership fees between xiaoxiao and the customer.  If Xiaoxiao also would like, I can help track his bets for him on a google shared spreadsheet, please refer to Stayeduptolate's thread where I do this service for him to see a sample of what the spreadsheet would look like.  My payment would come in the form of free sports picks as long as they are put out.

Please let me know if your interested xiaoxiao.

I think you are confusing 70 PH/s "dropping off" with variance.  No one can accurately tell just how many PH/s are currently hashing, and instead, those graphs use their best guess based on the number of blocks mined in a given period of time and the difficulty.  So what happened was, for a short period of time, there were more blocks mined than on average, which made it seem like there was more hashpower on the network, now we are seeing less blocks mined in the same amount of time, because it all averages out in the end, and it is looking like a bunch of workers dropped off.

Also, the difficulty dropped by less than a percent, and the next difficulty so far doesn't look like it will be more than a couple percent in either direction.  If 70 PH/s all of a sudden dropped off of the network, you would see a difficulty decline of over 25%.

Also, BFL had a rather large farm (a few PH/s) but no where near 70, they were not competent enough to maintain something that large.
I doubt a corporate farm would shut off tens of millions of dollars worth of equipment when they are still making money, and if your large enough to have 70 PH/s you will have backup power for this kind of situation.
There is no new coins, most newly launched coins are crap, everyone knows it, and they die rather quickly.  If something was profitable, it would be very quickly mined into non profitability.

I am sorry, but I am not interested in trading Paypal.  If interested I am happy to help, but not with Paypal, can also do cash in mail or in person depending on where you are.  I would also possibly be willing to buy the deal for you and have it shipped to you, provided you pay bitcoin first and on the website.

Please note, it has nothing to do with you.  For all I know you could be just a nice guy trying to get some bitcoin and an honest person, but I have lost tens of thousands of dollars to scams, and my personal rules are set up for a reason learning from those instances.  If your not interested in any of the above options, I understand, no hard feelings either way I hope, was just trying to help you out if you needed it, and I wish you good luck in getting the money from someone.

I would be happy to help you out over Western Union at Bistamp +7%.  Please let me know if your interested.  I can pick up in about an hour and a half or roughly the same time tomorrow and then get you your bitcoin.

He has PM'd me to buy $20 worth of bitcoins over Western Union and we are waiting for the money to clear his bank account.  I will update and leave trust once the trade is over and I have sent the bitcoin.  Still recommend using escrow and not using paypal for any transactions, not because he may or not be a scammer, but because it is smart to protect yourself no matter who your dealing with.

How so?  GPK has a board that he claims he never plugged in, but it has burn marks on the board?  How could those have gotten there without being run?

Dogie, please look at BlackArrow's thread started by  Theymos.  There is now evidence that they have been mining on customer equipment with GPK's recent post.  Please add to original thread once reviewed.

That sure looks like there was a fire on that board, and the fact that you never plugged it in can only lead to one believing that they were being run at BA's facilities.  Add in the fact that they said that they are no longer testing customer machines and it looks like the lie that they have never run customer equipment has been overturned.

Perhaps that is an LED that doesn't need any power and is black and that is why the board looks burned...?

EDIT:  It would probably be a good idea for everyone to check their boards for obvious failures such as the above prior to plugging them in at all, that would probably have burned down GPK's house had he not checked the board and just plugged it in.

Not interested in using Paypal, but if your looking for bitcoin I would be happy to sell with Western Union.  Obviously I have a very high reputation so you shouldn't worry about going first (although I am happy to use escrow if you pay fees and we agree on escrower).  I will also need bitstamp + 7% for this to work and you have to pay Western Union fees.  Please let me know if your interested...

There should be no limit on the amount you can withdraw, and to be honest, 24 hours seems like a pretty large time frame for a cashout, but thats just me.

I would advise to stop playing at the casino, and post the casino's name so that others will know not to play there and can withdraw funds that they may have.  I agree that if it was within a 24 hour time window then a 5 btc limit may be more appropriate (for security reasons and what not), but it is also really fishy that you are unable to withdraw YOUR MONEY.

That is simply the advice of someone who has been taken for tens of thousands of dollars worth of bitcoin over the last 3+ years and knows the signs of a scam/dying website.

When I am on my tablet and go to the sports section, everything works fine, just like from my desktop, but when I click on casino, I go to the mobile version of the casino.  Is there a way to switch from the mobile to desktop casino, since the desktop casino has more games available and I cannot use my bonus credits on the mobile site.

Also, when using my bonus credits, why after I play a game does the game not show up anymore on the games list?  If I were to play say Heist, and when I am done I close it and come back later, the Heist game is no longer offered to be able to play for Bonus?
