What do you mean "wrong" hands?  The coins are obviously exactly where the invisible hand guided them, which makes them the right hands. |

Why oh why do people buy first and THEN ask if they should have bought what they bought. |

The more you know:
If you take the first 2 characters from "Inaba", characters 2+3 from "Usagi", and characters 3+4 from Luke, it almost spells "insane".
So, no, you shouldn't have them do things together. It would be almost insane.
This new analytical approach to analism amazes me, good sir Greyhawk. Tell me again about how Maasdam cheese rinds can be used to predict the drops in precious metal markets. I can't. I've got a restraining order against me. Apparently the method is too similar to the production of an extremely potent bioweapon. |

If you don't want it, I'll take it off your hands for 10 bucks.

Don't worry. Burning plastics only release highly toxic, cancerogeneous and acidic cyanocompounds and dioxines.

Actually, you could there are companies who sell FPGA and ASIC chips, they just won't be optimized for bitcoin mining. Dude, that's an oxymoron. An ASIC is always optimized towards its task. That's what the AS part means: application specific. In the case of bitcoin mining that would be double-hashing SHA256. The only ASICs in existence dedicated towards that task are friedcats ASICMiners (and he doesn't sell) and the Avalons. And maybe that single one that's running (poorly) in a test board at BFLs. |

Don't forget the specialised knowledge required to figure out what circuitry would SHA256 more efficiently:-P
Yeah, well, BFL seems to cope without that, so.... Dude come on, they're shipping "in about a week", give them some credit - I'm sure we can reasonably expect everyone's pre-orders to ship by the end of April...2019 :-P Funny enough my prediction I made in early last December is still largely on track:
- Early December: Finally understanding how Asian fabs work, BFL raises their order from 20000 chips to 100000 to bump up their place in the production queue.
- Fab decides they finally have time for that weirdo BFL company to do their miniscule run on the 11th. This is under provision no big orders from LG come in in the mean time because boy that Nexus 4 is selling like hotcakes. If that happens BFLs run is gonna be pushed back to "whenever".
- Assuming the 11th happens and the run actually starts, you can add about 4-5 weeks for production of these things.
- On 21st of December the world ends
- In the middle of January the chips are finished. Inaba decides to hop in a plane and fly over to the fab to hand receive the chips. Turns out, all planes crashed during the end of the world. Instead the chips are shipped over to 'merica by boat.
- Middle of March the chips finally arrive in what is now called the Independent State of California. Customs officials hold what they assume to be weapons grade military devices until the war with Texas finally ends in a stalemate.
- 2015: ASICs arrive at BFL studios (a subsidiary of bAvalon International). No one knows what to do with them because all bitcoins were wiped out by the EMP pulse from Planet Rth'Nag'Ar.
- 2016: bAvalon strings the chips up on metal bars to produce a first-of-its-kind mathematics device they call The Abacus

Dude, don't do that, it's only gonna make matters worse and delay the time it takes for everyone to get access back.
Yeah, dude, please be nice to the scammers, otherwise they might run away with the money. |

There's nothing stopping you.
All you need is:
- a facility to grow monocrystalline silicon into boules
- a facility to cut boules into wafers
- buy or reinvent the IP cores to etch onto the wafers
- design the pathing and interface to the cores to etch onto the wafers
- a facility to etch the wafers
- a facility to bump the wafers
- a facility to dice the wafers
- a facility to package the dies
- design a PCB
- a facility to thermo flow solder the packaged die and electrical components onto the PCB
Let me know how it goes.

"President and CEO of Mt.Gox"
Loving the title fetish. Especially for something that is essentially two fat guys in an office.

Strange my Handy App is still working.
Seems like the Api is still online.
Protip: Don't use the word "handy"  No one outside of Germany understands that. It's a German-Denglish-Invention. The rest of the world says (smart) phone, cell or mobile. |

"official" is a difficult word to use when you are talking about Bitcoin I believe it was somewhere between $150-170. So yet again, the bitcoin price is crashing today :-( Well, right now, Mt.Gox exchange rate is $61, so yes. |

Not to be a racist or anything, but the queen of England is just that, the queen of England, yet the title assumes she is the queen of the whole world. It should be changed to reflect that fact.
I concur. She should be the Queen of the whole world. |

Guys, relax. This up down volatility is all 100% perfectly normal
It is, too. See here:  |

It was the same for me. There are many ways to do this without annoying those that are not newbies. The could detect who is a newbie and then display a pop up or message in the header that explains this policy
This is exactly what happens. You sign up and right away it details the exact restrictions you're under and how you can lift them. Of course it's easier to press the "LOLDIDNTREAD" button and then complain that the system should behave in a certain way while it behaves in exactly that way. |

I know this is a little off topic but can anyone tell me what is on grnbg's head in that photo he has in all his posts on the BFL site?
Du-Rag! I know that, but is it just me or does it look like R2 D2? R2D2 are you correcting my spelling or telling me I am not insane and this BFL cheering canuck has a beanie on his head to make him look like R2D2? You're not insane, I think it's R2D2 I cannot wait for the court tv testimony if this turns out to be fraud. "but even after waiting a year of being told your order would ship next month, you still kept waiting and you actually bought more with "coupons" you were given" "Yes, because it was not just them telling me this was a real money printing machine but also grnbrg" "Grnbrg? You mean the grown man from Canada with the R2D2 head?" Be glad it's just the R2D2 hat you're seeing. You COULD be seeing the man in his underoos. I did. Ain't pretty. No Sir. |
