So, 9 days to go until Dank Fest. Have you found a location yet?
Not yet, once I get access to a bike I'll head west to find the location.  Sometime this weekend or early next week.

So... 3 days to pull a million man concert out of your ass?

Wait. Why him? Aren't you his manager?  Huh

lighting my cigars with your dollars.

I hope not. Cigars should always be lit with wood matches, otherwise it ruins the flavor.

Actually a cedar spill specifically, yeah.  Smiley

Chinese New Year is not going to be a problem for a variety of reasons, so don't worry about that.

Translation: Chinese New Year won't introduce any unforseen delays, because we don't intend to release anything ever. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

I will be heading east at some point to babysit the process, as soon as I have dates for that, I'll let everyone know.

Translation: I'll soon be smoking cigars and drinking champagne from the navels of exotic beauties in Havana, Cuba, suckers. I'll be posting pictures of lighting my cigars with your dollars.

What i would really love to see is a game like yours adopting bitcoin as ingame credits.
Not just bitcoins as a payment method for donations or 'donators items' but the only currency used ingame.
Like for example 1 mBTC = 1 gold coin = 1000 silver coin etc to make it RPG compatible.
You could have NPCs sell things for goldcoins and the more coins get into the system that way the more you could add them as loot to monsters.

Uhuh.... so who puts the bitcoins into the monsters for you to loot?

Bitcoin has won the right to operate as a bank

This made me lol. It was an exchange that won the right to operate as a bank. Its a pretty misleading article.

Only it hasn't. They're operating as a payment processor. Wait, that's still not right. They're working WITH a payment processor that's associated with a bank, so that EUR deposits are now insured (BTC deposits are still not). This is a step towards.... towards..... uhm, anyone help me out here?

Note that this is effectively the minimum time. From what I've read TSMC and the other big players generally meet their schedules like clockwork but smaller boutique fabs tend to have more trouble giving a firm shipping date and sticking to it. I'm not actually sure why BFL felt using a smaller fab was something they should boast about...

It's been mentioned before, but doing business in Asia isn't just about the reliability of your manufacturers - your choice of professional agent is absolutely critical to timelines being met.  It's worrying that BFL is always having to chase down their agent for information rather than the agent keeping them updated.
That must be why it is so cheap. Some legwork is required at a boutique fab?

Relations are required.

Yeah, two out of three for me. International shipping is likely the problem.


I worked at a company library once. We had about 500 subscriptions to journals from outside of our country.

Let me tell you something about international shipping of journals.






It works flawlessly, what are you talking about?
4049  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: PRESSURE BFL TO WORK FASTER on: December 11, 2012, 06:03:12 PM
That's your opinion.

And of course it works, the only other course of action is to sue.


You can not break the laws of physics no matter how many emails you send to BFL.

If the masks are not done (and this is what this looks like) then the laws of physics dictate that you will have to wait another 30 days for the chips to be done.

Actually you will very likely have to wait even longer then that, way longer, but please don't read this sentence, as I don't want to make you sad so shortly before Christmas.

No. Bitcoin uses SHA2-256 as proof of work, Litecoin uses Scrypt. ASICs currently in development can do one thing and one thing only: hash SHA2-256

Atleast some movement, drawings is good Smiley Lets see what BFL will draw next Cheesy
They will draw criticism from their most hardened supporters.

Take a look:

https://forums.butterflylabs.com/bfl-forum-miscellaneous/519-10-dec-2012-bfl-asic-update-4.html

Crazy (as in sensible) comments going on over there.

Which comment is the sensible one? Is it the one who says the delay is a great chance to order more ASICs with granny's christmas money? Or is it the one where they guy thinks there's a conspiracy and the fab is holding back ASICs to mine with them themselves?

I love how the fans apparently push down the air onto the heat sinks, creating a nicely effective pocket of heat as soon as that thing sits in an enclosure. Wouldn't want those poor Asics to be cold now.

The Jalapeno I ordered is a christmas gift for my son. He's going to have a very sad christmas this year.

The WiiU is out. Please save Christmas.

This is a disturbingly recurring theme on these forums.
You're disturbingly recurring on every forum I post. Take a break!

Your attempts to regulate my freedom of expression have been noted and added to your list of crimes against humanity. We advice you to decide on a wall of your choice to stand against in due time, good sir. *presses X*

My take on this is that sometimes you have to make a revolutionary change if you want to succeed.
True, I made mine, have fun, make yours Smiley

Good answer. This is a disturbingly recurring theme on these forums. In here, in the thread about jgarzig, and in countless other threads, people keep posting from the safety of their bitmines why other people are not running their revolution for them. It's like they're playing a video game. "Press X to start revolution".

Everyone should ignore everyone else. That would also cut down on scams and spams.
