Sorry but the answer is no.  What is impressive is their marketing effort.

There are many scammers.  It is quite easy to figure out when someone is trying to scam.   If a seller will not setup a deal in a manner where "both" parties are protected, then usually it is a scam.

Wrong category.  Please do not spam the "goods" marketplace.  Thanks.

371  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: GHash.IO and double-spending against BetCoin Dice on: January 09, 2014, 07:10:19 PM
which is to be commended
I haven't seen anything to commend except their business savvy:

Hashrate on their service is >2x more expensive than actually buying the hardware— more like 10x the price of stuff still in pre-order, and will never make a profit at those prices according to the calculator on their site. By doing so they centralize mining and create a moral hazard with apparent results like the one's we've seen here.


These are valid points.   

This reminds me of a recent Bloomberg story about all the fines JP Morgan paid tied to all the scandals they are involved with.   The guest said, "all that matters is their balance-sheet".  Basically he was giving cover to all their illegal actions because in the end, they found a way to profit from it while only paying $20 billion~ fines, like committing fraud is just a cost of doing business. 

That type of greedy criminal attitude is one of largest threats to Bitcoin. 
372  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: GHash.IO and double-spending against BetCoin Dice on: January 09, 2014, 06:36:48 PM
If I understand the CEX.IO website correctly, it's a place where you can temporarily buy mining power that runs onto your own node? We've seen one of those before, didn't we?

I am curious who is stupid enough to rent their hardware out to random strangers over the internet and whether they understand what the point of mining actually is.

An interesting and historic milestone! I think this would be the first time we've seen miners profitably double-spend against merchants. If ghash.io was selling their hashpower to a criminal (and defrauding merchants is a crime regardless of the exact technique you're using), then that suggests we should be formally discouraging miners from using that pool.

well it is a private operation with private hardware, miners cant do anything about it, this is the time when miners have to start thinking about using p2pool.

SHAME and TRUST are powerful tools.  There is much that can be done.   I am researching this now.  As a precaution, I have informed all our hosting clients that requested Ghash.io as their pool are now being moved off the service until we get clear data on if the pool or customers in the pool are working in a counter-productive manner to Bitcoin mining.

BTC40 is outside of a reasonable expectation for performance of this unit.

Ill post pictures, and if it doesn't sell, no skin off my back.  In person pickup is available as well.

Thanks for your input.


People who don't ship first with trusted members or refuse escrow are scammers almost 100% of the time.    Either respect our customs or go away.  We need more trades and less scams.
375  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: Residential Limit 15amp or 20amp? on: December 20, 2013, 06:41:58 AM
Technically, anything over 16 amps (on a 20 amp breaker) or 80% of the breaker's rating is considered an overloaded circuit.  You should try to keep under this threshold for your own safety.

Yeah, no thanks, I can buy that new for way less.

Granted... none of them are this CNBC article.

Thanks.  I thought it was significant being that CNBC is basically establishment.
