Wow.  Microsoft is this interested in Bitcoin?

Nice machine!

All FPGA does is allow people with expensive electricity to mine.  Why would all of the people who have it for free (and there are a lot) pay for more expensive and single purpose FPGA hardware?  People with 9 cent KWh electricity have little incentive at the current time to switch as the payoff is very long. 

No, it is actually 99 cents in BTC equivilent, so one sticker for about .33 btc.  About 1 BTC should buy two stickers and US shipping.

Now our latest sticker is here, the standard printed version of BitCoin accepted here for indoor use.  The price is only 99 cents in BTC plus 99 cents shipping (order 100 stickers, the shipping is still just 99 cents!)  Sticker is 6"x2.5"

This sticker is compatible with our clear reverse printed sticker for glass and can be placed on top of it, so both sides show up visible inside and out of the glass.  

While your at it, fill up your cart with other items as the shipping is fixed at 99 cents for the US.  We do ship international and will message you for the additional cost.

The Slashdot dollar bitcoin parity article is what got me started.  I was CPU mining right away but found nothing until I got my first GPU 2 weeks later.

This can happen but it is rare.  60 days is the normal amount of time.  Outside of 60 days, 99% of the time it is done via a credit card chargeback.  Paypal almost never allows an internal dispute stat starts past 60 days. 

I have had funds held a number of times but got them when I was supposed to in the end.  This is with a 100% feedback record and no chargebacks of any kind.  I sell often but it only happens on larger amounts, usually over $250.  

I will take it!

As I have said on other posts:

Frequently people sell MSDN and VLK keys online.  These keys almost always work initially, but stop working 2-6 months after installation.  With Windows XP, Microsoft rarely revoked keys.  They only did it for the worst, often re-used keys and it was done through updating the "Windows Advantage" software.   So if you stopped "Windows Advantage" from loading your key would not turn off.

On Windows Vista/7 it does not work the same way.  They can revoke a key automatically when certain conditions are met and they do this often for illegal keys.  So people sell the MSDN keys and while they are not legit the first one usually works.  Then one of two things happen, either they sell it again, or the buyer uses it again.  Doing either a few times and ALL people are cut off. 

Asked before but unanswered as far as I can tell. 

What pool is this done through?

I have had experience already and will pass it along.  Buying a license for a Microsoft product without having the original disk and key # cert is worthless.   There are tons of discount 'legit' keys on eBay and others.  They do work.  For three months.

In the days of XP, once a key was on, it was on.  While a reload/repair or virus could mess it up, it would never turn off on its own. Microsoft could not remotely pull the key.  With Windows Vista/7 it is all different.  A key can work until Microsoft pulls it for being used to many times or for the wrong purpose.  And they now do it all the time.  

So someone will sell you an MSDN or other VLK key, and it will work.  Then it will stop working three months later and you will have no recourse and you will have wasted your money.  


CRAP!  I see you mentioned XP as what you want.  I will keep the above for the Windows Vista/7 information. 

You still should get a disk and key on a genuine Microsoft cert to be legal since that is the reason you are doing this.

Ditto on all items.  I travel, have a business account and have had at&t for at least five years. 

I should call them and ask.  I doubt it though.  There are NO REPORTS of them doing this for ANYONE.   

How did they do it?  What did you have to do on your phone to unlock it with their instructions? 

Check out mine.  I have t-shirts with the QR code, the simply bitcoin only tshirt and much classy embriodered polo shirts.  80% of the sizes/styles are in stock and ready to ship.

With demand I would do a bitcoin baseball cap. 

Now this I would like to see.  AT&T does not unlock iPhones.  Period.  Many have asked.  None have been done.  There are tons of complaints about this all over the web and in the media. 

AT&T does unlock many other phones after the contract ends (and often before) at the request of some customers.  They just don't do it for iPhones. 

AT&T has no procedure to do an unlock on an iPhone though we know of course with the right software and encryption keys it would be possible.  The closest thing they COULD do is replace the locked phone with an unlocked one.  They may do this for their very best or loudest customers but there are no reports of it that I know of.

I tried here, at $300 of BTC for a while.  I sold it on eBay for $349,In 30 mins after listing.  With fees that is like $320 net. 

I would greatly prefer to sell here, and offer lower prices here first.

To make an auction system work you need a few things:

First, there needs to be a fair cost.  Make it totally free and yes you get a bump in traffic, but a ton of junk listings.  You do not want that.  Make listings cost 10 cents.  (1 cent to 25 cents??) You also get people scamming by just creating fake listings and selling (not really selling just saying so) them to themselves and giving good feedback to multiply accounts owned by one person.

You should charge a 1% (.1 - 2%?) final value fee.  You need to make money to keep the site running.  This fee also dissuades scammers.  Most real sellers do not mind paying 1% to someone who gives them a good service.

If you make it too expensive, no one will use it.

Second, you should be involved in the payments.  It is harder to do, but it also dissuades scammers.  You should recieve the BTC, and REQUIRE a tracking #.  Check the tracking # for travel and matching the zip codes of the buyer and seller.  This is also hard.  But can be done manually at least initially.  Release money on the delivery of the item.  It is not a perfect system.  It can be scammed.  But it is much better for both buyer and seller then what is out there in the BitCoin world.  

Then you need a feedback system.  Something like ebay used to be, with negative and positive available to buyer and seller.  

You can't make everyone happy.  People with virtual items, or say that they do not want to give out that much information will not like it.  But long term I think honest buyers and sellers would like it.  



 

Sold. 

Good point.  I had no idea you can get a raw pcb made singles like that for $20, but if you can, that changes things. 

No, actually they have not.  The fact that they use an available OEM case vs building their own actually makes it more believable to me. 

We have a photo of the board in the case.  Now if you can find the same exact photo with a different board in it, same background then you are on to something.
