Did you change anything? Is there free space?

This is possible when you can create commodities out of thin air (like "paper silver").
I have thought of making a proof-of-concept "Casascius Bank" but where I accept no more than about 1000 BTC in total deposits. The real goal, though, wouldn't be to become a bank. It would be to illustrate a proof-of-concept: provably secure depositing. My "bank" would create cryptographic signatures on a daily basis proving in fact that I have every single bitcoin I say I have on deposit. Meanwhile, I would break down that 1000 BTC into "ranges" to assert that they are owned by specific depositors (but only in a manner where the depositors themselves can identify their own funds, not the public). For example, if I held 4 deposits for 4 people, and they were 100, 200, 300, and 400, then I would say that coins 1-100 belong to depositor 1, coins 201-400 belong to depositor 2, 401-600 and 601-1000 belong to depositors 3 and 4. I would sign and send messages to each depositor, which would allow them to reconcile, catch, and out me if (for example), I told two people they each own the same range of coins. The real goal would be to help the public know they really can and should demand proof that their deposits are safe and sound and not fractionally pledged, the same way "provably fair gaming" is teaching us by example that we should demand, well, provably fair games. In turn, this would cut down the number of "paper bitcoins" in existence (or rather, I should say, "bitcoin-denominated promises", because the "paper bitcoins" I have in mind - like bitaddress.org and bip38 - are actually close to the best kind of bitcoins you can have!) If your bank only sat on deposits and "secured" them how do you plan to make money? The idea is the bank uses deposits to make investments and has a percentage witholding they keep for withdrawals. |

I suspect it was they ran out of money and couldn't afford to buy something important, like the cases or pay for shipping. The expanded Batch 2 sale gave them the funds necessary to finish and profit, since the development costs are done.

twmz, is there any way you could make the tabs ( active users, current payouts ) work on a iphone/ipad?

Is there a way to make the timeout for pools that are down quicker? Only on startup, When I shut my primary pool down, the cgminer process hangs for 2-30 seconds before it gives up and drops to pool 2/backup. In older versions it was instant. In 2.10.x it just sits there.

Maybe for bulk, but these things are like unicorns, customs wouldn't have any idea what they are. Could just mark them as virtually any electronic doodad and it would sail through if the valuation was right.

Or everyone gets shafted and the avalon team makes off like a pirate?

The current evolution is to go massively parallel.
The next step will be to go from binary logic to quantum logic.

Pool is dying now.. Lost 1/4 of the hashrate. Perhaps it'll come back if there's a good day. Although that would take a 4-7 block streak to bring luck just up to 100%PPS levels for 90 days.

Mostly trying to not deal with the US shiatty policy of making all the "citizens" indentured servants in perpetuity and harassing them out of the international banking scene.

Generally customs only comes into play for the receiving country, not the shipper. For it to take this long they didn't ship them individually. They chose to ship them freight or cargo and then reship. That's the only explanation. Assuming they actually shipped them. A handful of people on china claim to have them. And they one guy who ordered several only received one machine and confirmed that anyone else who ordered several also only received a single unit.
What you can export, in what quantities and to where is something for which each country has its own regulations - things can and do get held up in customs in their country of origin (even using a customs broker doesn't guarantee this won't happen, especially with products being exported for the first time). They already said prior to CNY that they had shipped 53 units in one batch and were waiting to learn whether those units had made it out of China before CNY. It would be silly to ship more units by the same route/method before knowing the fate of those 53. Yifu has made very clear in past posts that they are hoping for people to become Avalon re-sellers, which could make the shipping process much easier for future batches. I agree that Yifu needs to provide an update on this, but comparisons to other products for which the customs issues were solved long ago are pretty meaningless (hell, even things which should have no customs issues whatsoever randomly get held up, no matter which carrier you use). Yes except there are people in china who have ordered 10, who have only received one unit. |

and a wave of confirmations has been sent out!
what does the confirmation look like? is it titled "[Avalon ASIC Store] Order Received" Yes, as well as a walletbit Order Receipt |

I'm sorry to open this thread but it looks like no one is worried about this.
What's really happening? Can we have an official word?
Only ~5% of the units works properly?
Its not that people aren't concerned (worried), its that we need to wait and let a deadline actually come before filing your complaints. See when someone says "X Date" then it usually means "X date" not 5 days before or 2 weeks before. For some reason people can not seem to handle that. What I hope is really happening is that they are building units everyday and shipping them. Likely a whole mess of them were held up in customs and they are working that out. Don't forget there is customs in your country too. Yifu was really clear about their plan and when communications would come out. You will need to just wait this one out. Generally customs only comes into play for the receiving country, not the shipper. For it to take this long they didn't ship them individually. They chose to ship them freight or cargo and then reship. That's the only explanation. Assuming they actually shipped them. A handful of people on china claim to have them. And they one guy who ordered several only received one machine and confimed that anyone else who ordered several also only received a single unit. |

Good to see a honest legit BTC businessman. So many cut and run when it gets tough and things don't work out.

Bo One here who Discuss about the l word?
It's pretty obvious something is wrong. normal variance should not be so cyclical. http://p2pool.info/luck/ |

Aseras/Subo1977: Are you using P2Pool 11.2 (the current newest version)? It fixed a memory leak that caused similar problems.
Yes 11.2 and .7.2 |

How do I make p2pool work for both bitcoin and litecoin simultanously?
change a port in the conf. both try to use 9332. |

There's definitely something going on in the background. After 5-7 days my latency goes way up and it slows everything down and I start getting much more dead/orphans. By 9 days p2pool goes almost all dead work. A reboot/restart fixes it all. Instantly. I'd suggest just putting in a switch or script that makes p2pool restart ever 24-36 hours as a temporary "fix/workaround"
