301  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Recovery program beginning in January for PB Mining customers. on: March 11, 2015, 08:33:05 AM
The counters are ticking faster this week.
Last week I received approx 0.0246 on Saturday.  It's only Monday and ticker for me is up at 0.0131.


Tuesday and now 0.02, it's going at about 0.01 BTC per day for 25 TH/s.

i got 3200 gh/s but for now is just 0.0025 Huh

TH/s and GH/s. Do the math. It sounds about as right as you can get, considering they're PBMining GH/s.

The controller (using the latest firmware) does seem to support running 4 blades. But it seems running 4 blades only works if you're running them off a single power supply.

Your miner status seems to say there are four blades connected to the board (I assume this is not true, please confirm) which is weird.

Your status reminded me of Tupsu running 4 blades of a single controller. When they used two separate power supplies their miner status looked exactly like yours:


Was this with the new firmware or the old one?
Also, what do you mean by after overheating?
I changed the picture. Fan failed and first miner overheating.

New firmware. Works only with single power supply.

With  two power supply 2 boards failed.


The difference in load also seems to point to a failure on the controller board... You might want to try to run the blades on a controller that you know is good, just to be sure the controller is the issue.

How is it possible to have 120 activities?  Huh
Activities are in multiple of 14.



False. Activity is calculated as follows:

Quote
Activity = min(time * 14, posts)

So if your time * 14 is greater than your number of posts, then your activity will be equal to the number of posts you made. Time in this case (I assume) is the number of 2 week periods since you've registered your account.

And as always, be sure to

  • Verify that the seller owns the account
  • Escrow

Who said the keys are not legit?
These are keys from MSDN account from Microsoft offical website and they are safe and work for lifetime
Every user get one key if they want to buy, so there is no risk for closure.

I have till now not yet got a single problem in selling keys.
Thank you

Selling keys from an MSDN subscription is not allowed. Keys will expire as soon as the subscription ends.

So I change my stance from "the keys are most likely not legit" to "the keys are conclusively not legit".

There ya go. I said it.

PS. http://www.microsoft.com/piracy/reporting -> report yourself here if you want. Or wait for someone else to do it.

Did anyone ask microsoft to validate the product key they purchased? All signs point to these product keys not being legit. A $3 product key may work (for a while), but it most likely not legit.

With the exception of Product Key Cards (PKC’s) distributed with COA’s, Microsoft does not distribute products keys as standalone products. If you see a listing on an auction site, online classified ad, or other online page advertising product keys for sale, it’s a good indication that the keys are likely stolen or counterfeit. If you were to purchase and use a stolen or counterfeit product key to activate Windows installed on your PC, the key may not work for activation, may already be in use on another PC, or it might be blocked from use later by Microsoft when the key is reported stolen

It's not about the work involved. It's about the product produced, or the service rendered.

The fee is all about the work involved. It takes the same amount of work for the bank to transfer $10, $1000 or $100,000. They charge you the same flat fee whether you are buying a domain, a phone or an expensive car. The fee is of a high percentage because your transfer amount is small, not because the fee is outrageous.

You chose the wrong method of payment.

My point is that nowadays $7.50 is too much for a simple transaction.

Maybe 10 years ago it was more involved to execute a transaction. But currently it's a simple task that is only complicated by legacy processes.
310  Economy / Economics / Re: Banks are Pigs on: March 09, 2015, 02:52:51 AM
I'm about to pay an invoice for a domain. It cost $10/ year but the bank take $7.5 in transfer fee.
75% in fee Huh That is ridiculous and this is why Bitcoin will succeed in the long run.

To be frank, $7.5 is not outrageous compared to the work involved. I believe they charge a flat fee for transfer of any size? I know banks are pigs. I am siding with the banks this time.

If you need to buy a domain, use a credit card. There is no fee involved, only a not so favourable exchange rate.

It's not about the work involved. It's about the product produced, or the service rendered. I can write your name on a piece of paper as a service. I'd charge you a dime. That would cover the cost and still leave profit. Or I could first submit your name to some name rating organization, obtain a (very special) piece of paper from an authorized paper dealer, submit your service request to a few government agencies, cross verify with main industries to verify I can legally write the name and charge you about $600 for it. Just because they've created some elaborate and inefficient way of doing things doesn't make it a fair price.

There are restrictive laws/rules on entering this market so there's no real risk of any start-up with more efficient processes to stir up the market. It's messed up.

<snip>

Sweden is not part of Euro, we have our own currency. Can I demand to pay in euros or how does that work?

First of all, smart move of Sweden not to adopt the euro. Count your blessings ;-)

You can ask the provider if you can pay in euros. Since they're a Denmark based company they shouldn't have a problem with that. Then it's just up to you on instructing your bank to make a euro payment. They'd still charge you for converting Swedish currency to euro currency though.

Your bank is basically laughing its ass off with the "International payments in currencies other than the euro" clause and probably encouraging everyone to make payments to euro countries in $. Or anything other than euros. So you'll have to try and make the payment euro by having a local bank convert the currency into euro, and then transferring the euros. Good luck on trying to pull it off. If you manage it, make sure you share the info somewhere for all your fellow Swedes / Swedish residents to use as well. Screw ridiculous rates.

75% fee sounds ridiculous. However this is probably an international payment involving SWIFT and some very cumbersome processes for both the sending and receiving bank. Based on that they can probably defend the fee, since it covers their cost.

Have you tried offering your provider to pay, say... $12.50 worth of BTC directly? That's sounds like a win/win to me. Banks (pretend to) struggle with international payments. Bitcoin does it easily.

Yeah, the provider is based in Denmark and i live i Sweden. I offered them Bitcoins via support mail, have not got any response yet. I´ve been using that provider for 10 years, I´ve never seen this fee before though.

Last I knew Denmark and Sweden are both in the EU. In that case European rules apply:

Quote
For international payments in euros within the EU, banks should charge you no more than they would for a national transaction of the same value in euros.
This rule applies to all electronically processed payments in euros, including:

transfers between bank accounts in different EU countries
withdrawals from cash machines/ATMs in EU countries
payments by debit or credit card across the EU
direct debit transactions
money remittances.
International payments in currencies other than the euro are not subject to these provisions.

See http://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/shopping/banking/day-to-day-banking/index_en.htm and make sure you're paying in euros. If so, then you've got your bank by the balls. Make sure you copy all the official papers that shows they're charging you this outrageous amount and that it's most definitely not the same amount as they charge for a national transaction. Then tell them to process your payment according to the law *and* file a complaint.

Cheers.

I find it difficult to disagree with his statements, even if there wasn't any risk in disagreeing.

But to have someone in his position say it out loud may change sentiment in many amateur / small time stock traders.


I have to complement this with an obligatory:

Sell!!!

Otherwise people will be exchanging feedback based solely on personal vendettas and if we give it enough time, then everyone will be labeled a scammer because everyone will at one point piss someone on default trust off.  

Let it happen.

When it gets bad enough, and the pages pile up with red enough, you'll realize what you should have realized from the start: your personal trust list shouldn't be Default Trust; it should be those you actually trust. You think any of your ratings even come up on my screen?

Not sure who to trust? Maybe that's something you need to figure out before you're responsible enough to use magic internet money.
Well people who are very new to the community need to have some kind of default list to lean on while they are learning. If they do not have anything to lean on initially then they will have a lot of difficulty figuring out who to trust because of the massive amount of manipulation that goes on in the bitcoin world.

I think we should have a forum for people to voice their concerns about trust that others are giving as well as concerns about trust received. Equally important is the ability of people who leave trust for others to keep an open mind about possibly removing or modifying sent trust after receipt of feedback from others.

Now if your sent feedback is appropriate to be given to TECHSHARE is something that you will need to decide yourself  

People who are new to the community shouldn't trust anyone. If we're "training" them to rely on green or red text they have less incentive to learn to stand on their own legs. If you're about to make a transaction I hope you've based your decision to trust the other party on something more substantial than this trust thingy and/or have taken steps to mitigate the risk.
No I don't think a newbie should base any potential deal entirely on one's trust ratings, however I do think one's trust score should be the basis of where someone should start.

I know you will probably say that a newbie should say escrow (at least this is what many people say) however without the trust system, it is not possible to know for sure who it is appropriate to trust as escrow.

I'm saying anybody should use common sense when making deals. When someone tries to sell you a 2014 Porsche Cayenne for a super attractive price, would you do some research? I'm guessing you would. Now if you're dealing with an anonymous person from an undisclosed location, would you do research? I'm hoping you would. You should take measures to protect yourself from getting scammed online, just as you would do out on the streets. Believing in some magical trust list is only making the ignorant more vulnerable, since it allows scammers to easily gain their "trust". And that's how (most) big scams work. Paying off for a while to gain trust and once trusted they pull their scam.

Edit: On re-reading I think I've gone way off topic. Motion to remove Nubbins from the default trust list; Denied. Again, or still.
