pmed to negotiate the sale of all 8

Yep, I'm not too worried about these selling fast. Back in October 2012 or so, people were panicking trying to get rid of their GPUs because of the ASICs that were supposed to hit at the end of the month, and the difficulty would rise. Well, I bought in on the panic and got a few GPUs for the short term before selling them to some gamer friends. Managed to make something like 80 BTC, and I'm not too convinced that the same thing wont happen again. Yep, the second gen ASICs are coming, but for all we know, they could be 8 months late again. I said in my OP that mining is a gamble, and that each person will have their own interpretation of what will make a ROI or not. The calculators are a good starting point, but they really can't predict the future, and are lacking a few details that people may or may not figure out.

No thank you, but thanks for the offer.

hehe, good luck. I've had the same GPU addiction for years, however cooling costs are what have prevented me from completely filling my house with rigs.

Ill pass.

Will be heading off to the post office in a few hours, don't miss your chance for same day shipping 

Still Available. Shipping costs are assanine out of country. I can still ship out of the country, but with shipping cost ranging from $25 to $80, I'd assume its cheaper to find a seller in your own country.

Within the U.S though, as I said the shipping costs are included in my pricing.

pmed

(1) 5 Erupter, Hub, and Fan package sold

26 erupters, 6 USB Hubs, and 6 Fans left.

Bump

Hubs and fans included or just the miners themselves? For multiple of the Erupters themselves, the best bet seems to be going for a small international flat rate for $23.95 or about .195 BTC. That should be able to ship all of the erupters themselves. If you wanted hubs and fans included, I would need a slightly larger box, which I can look for the best rates depending on what you are considering.

If you are interested in one or two erupters, I can also look at not going the flat rate route, and looking at different shipping costs for small boxes.


*Edit* Up to about 1.5 Lbs, its cheaper to go with a small box, ranging from $6 shipping for 1 to $20 shipping for about 20. any more than that, and its better to go the way of flate rate.

yes I will, but I would ask that you cover the difference in shipping costs.

No thank you, sorry.

First off, as everyone knows, it is up to you to decide whether or not it is worth mining at this point. There are tons of ROI calculators out there and other things to factor in, so detirmine for yourself whether mining is a good risk for you.

Anyway, I'm looking to sell 31 4 Block Erupters that I have on hand. They are working fine, however I figured I should consolidate, and rather than having 10Ghash of Erupters, go with 10 Ghash of Blades.

I'm looking for .25 BTC each. I also have a few 5-7 Erupter Hub for .1 BTC and USB Fans for .05 BTC.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Nope, but I also can't point to anyone who recieved a 3.5Ghash Jalapeno (original hash prediction) but I don't see anyone complaining on that front. The power specs are another issue, which I would categorize back into the "disorganized mess of a company" category, the same with shipping dates. I do believe they thought they could ship many times over the last 9 months, however were wrong. Refusing refunds is partially true. People were offered refunds multiple times however, so the issue became not wanting to lose your spot in line. A) When the power and hash specs changed. Also meaning the "Shipping Products that don't meet paid for specs" is incorrect, they changed the specs, and people had to confirm they wanted to keep their order with the changed specs, or have an immediate refund. B) If you paid with paypal and could take your refund at any time or C) If you requested a refund before they started "shipping". And I do agree that not paying lost bets is scummy hence my first post where I said I believed a Untrustworthy tag would be in order, just like when MNW failed to pay lost bets.

I still stick by my opinon that BFL is a poorly run company, but not a scam.

While it is true that BFL does purchase a large number of ads, do keep in mind that only small portion of that actually goes to administrators and moderators, aprox 25% distributed through the entire staff. Not only that, but checking through last weeks ad report

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=268684.msg2928652#msg2928652

BFL recieved no Ads.

And for this week: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=273242.msg2975856#msg2975856

It looks like Inaba will get some ad slots (Outbid while I was typing), but its not like there aren't many other bidders lining up to take BFL's place.

Keep in mind, what I just posted is assuming there actually is some sort of bias toward BFL because of their ad revenue. If BFL was esentially funding the entire forum's operation, I'd say most likely there would be some bias. But from the last few advertising reports, it doesn't seem that BFL is actually contributing any more than other people who want the spots. BFL has up to this point just found it profitable somehow to bid high to assure people saw their ads.

I'm sure plenty staff members dislike BFL, and I'm sure plenty of staff members like BFL. Its just a hard decision to determine whether or not they are scammers or not. I personally did not think BFL would ship at one point. But then I've had friends who did recieve their miners, so I know they did indeed ship, but at what point is too long, etc, etc... You know. At this point, I honestly don't think money is the issue. If BFL didn't pay X BTC for an ad slot or 5, someone else would. I think the issue lies on how the term scammer is all subjective. Did they take people's money? Yes. Did they make people wait longer than they promised? Yes. Was the wait excessively long? Probably, a lot say yes, there are probably a few people who don't mind. Are people getting what they paid for? Yes. Are people getting what they paid for fast? No. It just keeps going like that. If we made a survey for 10,000 people about their opinions of BFL, Id say a solid amount would say its a scam, orders aren't being processed fast enough, etc. But there would also be a few that say it isn't a scam, but orders aren't being shipped fast enough. And there would also be those that say it isn't a scam and orders are being shipped fast enough.

Admins are the only ones who have a say in scammer tags, so my opinion doesn't sway anything, but

I think they took way too long to ship, broke their shipping dates repeatedly, have bad customer service/PR, are disorganized, and I would not send them any of my money at any point. However, I personally do not think they are scammers for one sole reason. They are shipping. Theres a difference between a company that is just a mess, and those that are scammers.

Well I meant to respond to Smoothie's link, which I did, but then noticed the last post was in May, so I deleted that at the risk of necroposting. So I'm moving my personal opinion here.

Someone should get ahold of Josh, because for the benefit of the doubt, he could have forgotten over a year period. If he refuses to pay up, I believe he should get a similar Untrustworthy tag as MNW. Until otherwise settled by Runeks. Runeks may accept a few BTC and call the bet settled due to BTC price increase.

Will Josh pay the 1,000 BTC to Charity? Maybe, it would be pretty good publicity, especially if it made national headlines, "BTC Company donates to cancer society" worth $120,000 ehhh, maybe?

Will Josh pay the 1,000 BTC to Runeks, I don't imagine so, but maybe Rune will get something out of it. This is pretty much exactly the same situation as MNW's bet. Overbet, not going to pay, become tagged as untrustworthy, pay something (hopefully). Its really up to Runeks to demand the scammer tag if not satisfied by the outcome of the bet.

Hello, I'm checking to see if anyone would be interested in purchasing my Dragon's Tale account. For those who are not farmiliar, Dragon's Tale is a popular BTC MMO Casino. You are an avatar, who is able to travel around many islands. Just about everything you can interact with imagineable is a gambling game, offering you different stakes, payouts, and various other rewards. Games range from skill games which give you a serious advantage if you play under certain conditions that you can watch for, and just basic luck games.

When you have an account, there is a referal system, and bonus system as well. The referal system called mentoring, allows players level 4 and higher, to take on students. Mentors are encouraged to teach their students the ropes, so they wont be completely dropped into a new game with a chance at losing money due to not knowing features. The reward for mentors is a % cut of your student's Dragon Treasures (DT). When any player plays a game, a % of their bet, winnings, and losings is recorded to their account as Dragon Treasures. When you reach 100% of your Dragon Treasures, you can recieve a bonus bundle of the Dragon Treasure amount.

Currently, 100% Dragon Treasure (DT) pays out a bonus lump sum of 2BTC, however, my account is very old. Back in the old days, the Dragon Treasure amounts were 8BTC. After logging on again recently, I learned that if your DT was >50% at the time of the shift from 8BTC to 2BTC, you were still able to recieve a 8BTC DT before it reverted back to 2BTC increments. This is why I'm looking to sell my account. I would very much like that BTC lumpsum, as it is a sizeable amount, however, I'm not a fan of gambling now adays. I'm a bit too impulsive when it comes to downward trend martingale strategies, so I have a tendency to throw far more BTC than I should at something like a 50/50 bet. I have learned with patience, it is completely possible to break even, if not gain money playing this game, however, of course as a gambling game, it plays at your impulses and emotions, so I'm not willing to risk losing my entire bankroll on a stupid decision, in hunt of an 8 BTC payout. However! I know that many people here do like to gamble, and know what they are doing, so I'd like to offer my account up for sale.

My account name is Lodsofemone and I currently have 80.55% of an 8BTC payout. My account is also level 4, meaning that you can take on students, however I do not have any at the moment. In raw DT, the account is worth 6.444 BTC (8BTC X 80.55%) I've got like .059 BTC on the account as well just leftover. Which leads the raw total value of the account to 6.5 BTC you can also factor in time spent to attain the levels if you want, but for simplicity sake, the account's hard net worth is 6.5 BTC.

If anyone likes the game, would like to start playing the game, or just wants that 8 BTC payout, please make me an offer in the thread or via pm. If you offer me via PM, I may post your offer in the thread as well, unless you specify that you would not like me to do so. You can also pm me or ask in thread for any other additional info that I may be able to provide. I believe I am looking for around 4 BTC for the account, given that some time, BTC, effort, and luck will need to go in to claim the 8 BTC prize, however at 2.5 BTC below the account's actual value, I believe that is incentive enough for someone to throw a BTC into the game, and give it a shot.

So many big red letters....

Ok first of all, starting a giveaway thread, and not giving any coins away isn't a scam. You don't lose anything by Rumbit's dishonestly/decision not to give away coins, its just in bad taste and not a good way to gain support.

Second, about the claims of the fake Quark site, whether it is Rumbit's or not, they haven't posted it anywhere on the forums, so that is not breaking the rules. If you want to own malware, fine. As long as you aren't trying to spread it, its not really a concern.

I would highly advise people check the source and check for malware in case there is any, but to my knowledge, no one has found any Malware in the CPUCoin client.


Overall, as of now, there are no grounds for a ban or a scammer tag. (not that mods are able to issue either)

I don't know enough about the situation to issue any sort of verdict, but I have recieved many reports and am compiling the info needed.

The coin is accused of owning quarkcoin.net which is confirmed for malware, first announcing a quarkcoin giveaway, which later became a CPUCoin giveaway, and a few other fishy things which I'm still trying to put together.

I'm currently in the investigative stage, so if anyone has any info that they think is important, if you wouldn't mind pming me, I'd appreciate it. For now, I'd say be cautious with CPUCoin. If you want to use it please investigate the source for anything suspicious, and question the motives behind the odd behavior of the coin.
