AFAIK, none of the Avalon chips have shipped to customers/OEM's yet.

 As a data-point, one official Avalon rig =~ 11 Jally's

 This is pretty amazing to take in. So I'm guessing this June 05 spike is caused from all the USB Erupters and Jaly's coming onto the network ? Is there something else that has come online, assuming ASICMiner is going to handle 25% of the blockchain solo ?

 *Raises eyebrow*

 JohnK is probably one of the finest, upstanding members of the Bitcoin community.

 Could it be that you were phished/scammed, and it has nothing to do with the real JohnK on these forums ?

 Issues appear to be resolved.

 Cheers !

 Speaking of Slush, I really miss that dude's graphs and stats... But I will agree, DrHaribo is really on-the-ball with the way he is managing his pool and communicating with us.

 Kudos, Doctor.

Yep. I'm dead in the water as well on Bitminter

 Just drop it already smoothie. It's obvious we would have an easier time asking Monsanto lobbyists to get out of politics than we would getting the forums administration here to do anything about community concerns.

 Same stuff. Rev 3.00

This conspiracy was debunked a while back. Notice the spike is right in the middle of the continental United States.

Apparently, this is how the data is displayed from all aggregate unknown sources in the US. It is drawn in the middle of the country, which coincidentally just happens to be near our favorite Bitcoin related company.

Would be nice to toss come coins to Breast, Colon, Lung, Liver, and other Cancer Research Organizations.

Every little bit helps.

A friend of mine is going through a second round of battle with Colon Cancer that metastasized in his lungs and liver. Had surgery a week and a half ago to remove three nodules from his lungs. He's going to start on chemo for 6 weeks to shrink the tumor in his liver down to a more operable size before they put him under the knife a third time to cut this batch out. Then resume chemo for a few more months.

Imagine that. Getting Colon Cancer mets in your lungs and liver.

Didn't know cancer worked that way. Blows my freaking mind and learn something new every day.

Cancer fucking sucks.

I don't see any problem here.

The British Lung Foundation is a fine and upstanding organization.

For what it's worth as a data-point, of the 50+1 extra friedcat sent me, I had two defective units that necessitated a re-ship.

None of the 20 I ordered through Arklan had any trouble.

FWIW, all the ones I got from Arklan were Silver, and all the ones I got directly from friedcat were black.

 What is community consensus on those ? Are they legit ? Have not followed the entire thread for lack of time Very attractive @ $3.8k for 175GH/s if they can deliver.

Strange. My orders just shipped. Have never gone longer than 24 hours without getting a response   Sorry to hear you're having difficulties with communication

I was thinking of building a mount out of wooden dowels, but then I had nightmares of it possibly catching fire and killing me in my sleep 

 Fair enough.

 Going dark. Locking thread.

(What is it with the newbie accounts posting in this thread ? My Lord...)

Without wanting to give too much away, I've already gone through a couple tangentially-similar commercial disputes with a couple entities that I've won. Their lawyers took a look at our complaints and advised their clients to capitulate.

I am hoping this case never sees the inside of a courtroom, but am preparing to go all the way if need-be.

I pray it doesn't go that far. For everyone involved

OP wants his cake without having to deal with the contempt-of-customer displayed by the companies CEO *on these forums*, if you want to be accurate and truthful.


 I've admitted and apologized for losing my cool. Repeatedly. Please point me in the direction of back-handed name-calling and threats.

 Hiring a lawyer to protect my investment is not a threat. It is a matter of practicality.


 From a certain point of view, I can see your point. From my point of view, I was taunted by the Chief Operating Officer of a company I did business with on these forums, and called him on his terrible behavior and contemptuous and inexcusable public behavior. He chose to punitively cancel my orders that I dared to stand up to his public ego or call him to account.


 IMO, I was as much of an investor as the Venture Capitalists that invested in Butterfly Labs' ASIC endeavors 11 months ago, as are all June 2012 preorder customers.


 You are correct, and this speaks to the root of my case.

 I hope you can appreciate me not divulging specifics.
