I don't care if you think I'm female or male.. Lol

True and that's my concern.. At this rate we'll have a 20% to 25% jump in difficulty.

I must admit I expected them to ship the 'doorstops' before August 2014 that is for sure.....I got (thru dumb luck on their 6 month refund
offer ...probably due to class action and sonny's probation hearing)....the monarch for my 65mm stuff and $$$ and got it all back..but
figured back then with the 65mm it was gonna be a doorstop then (nov/dec 2013) or a doorstop later (according to Josh dec 2014 ..I
figured feb/march 2014....I mean NO ONE could do such a thing TWICE (2013 and 2014) and EXPECT to stay in business w/o FTC
and other public servants...shutting down such a fraud?..I mean surely investigative journalism like bitcoin talk magazine would step
in and expose this scam? (er wait BFL add is still on 2nd page behind cover...er shudder)

er ..oops .. I was wrong...silly me you can play such a ponzi scheme if you (imho) 1) settle with the class action suit 2) settle with
regulatory agencies coming after you .....and eventually bankrupting the company to take the liabilities and $$$ fall

er I mean you announce tapeout last august 2013 and you can't ship the item yet till  agust 2014..come on ..the mind boggles....
...how are you keeping the doors open?

again ponzi scheme ..mine like hell with ..even made for your use 65mm product....don't deliver...pay off 1) and 2) above.....bankrupt BFL and walk

flawless...personal miners saved (check) personal assets safe (check) complicated piece of asic equip that would be cutting edge IF
it actually would work in a case and heat issues etc....(use to claim we tried to grasp to far on our cutting edge stuff) ie the mtgox
defense Mark K. look very very sorry and look very very stupid...still not against the law to drive a corp in the ground for being stupid (check)

bitcoin mined all this time as main BFL activity squirreled away (check) and then give them GH on this pool that MIGHT get the customers
1 BTC lifetime at 600gh ..actually say 1/2 btc...and keep all that non refundable btc and usd ....

it just plain has to be so you can't have a MANUFACTURING PLANT with MORE then 100 employees and
NOT make anything of note what the hell are they doing ..can't be selling that many jallys if they are dumping them
on walmart and tigerdirect.com (but that 65mm sure works keen on your EMC mining farm!) from DEC 2013 till now
AUG 2014.......

UNLESS...you are just using NON-REFUNDABLE $$$ (pure profit or heck if BFL has to give it back it is quite the startup $$$) to MINE
way back in the day when difficulty was LESS THEN 1PH or whatever it once was then pay back or get equip (er not so much) to
the customers who can't get a refund with the profits...

again I got a refund from just dumb luck and I know it...but it has been worth it as an eye opener on just what a corporation can
get away with these days and keep your $$ w/o any regulatory or other consequences.....good to know...again the mind boggles
they have done this 'promise' of asic stuff since as best I can tell JUNE? was it 2012 when they announced the ASIC's then would ship by
Dec 2012...the 65mm stuff!

frigging warped wonderland these asic mnfg live in ..but hey if it works don't fix it

Their capacity production and resources are limited. You can't just build 10k units out of thin air and you need more than 10M-20M$ upfront money.

This increase is from Bitfury's DC in Iceland.

I hope people realize when they buy cloud mining they are inherently giving profits to a mining company up front, and the mining company will use that money to buy more hash which will compete with the user's own purchases.  The only person benefiting from this is the mining company.

No, from what I understand, if you withhold the block you get nothing. You can't turn it in for anything, so it's a complete loss to do it. But I see that if someone else finds a block in the pool you still get a percentage of that, so in a way you are being a less than productive load on the pool.

Hm.

Sure, but you're not really impacting the pool at all. The other 1200Th of miners are getting exactly the same amount they would if you were not there, you don't contribute 200th you're basically clogging the stats. But you don't change the payouts by one satoshi, the only thing you're doing is making profits for the local electric utility.

Weird way to live, but whatever.

Was just guessing, wasn't sure if it was the premine some companies do before release or test mining or whatever. This is actually a pretty high amount of PH compared to the last couple weeks.

Still sore about the Battle of Brandywine after all these years

Anyone know if I can power one AntMiner from two different PSUs? I have two AntMiner s3 connected with 4 PCI cables each and over clocked.. I still have room inbetween my two cx750s
Is it possible?

Do you know of a page with a walkthrough on that? Also is there a way to change to IP address of new miner to the IP of the old miner? That would be great!

A lot of new and interesting things are happening at GAW / ZEN now.
I am waiting to hear about upgrades and the new most profitable
guaranteed pool of their own making.

I have never seen this before on the tens of orders I have had with bitmaintech, can anyone give an explanation as to what this means on my tracking?

It looks like it never cleared customs, but I am not sure what is going on?  Is there something I need to be doing?  Bitmain has not responded to my support emails (I assume because its the weekend) but these were supposed to be here yesterday and I am not sure what is going on.

Any information or advice is appreciated.

What PSU do you guys recommend for running two S3s? reliable ones.?

I have a question about ANTMiner S3
Watt what is needed to run 4x S3?
if 1 S3 360Watt, so 4 S3 = 1440
whether the LEPA 1700 Watt power supply able to handle this ??
please give your review
thank you

OK, I read up on the withholding attack. Does the bolded statement mean a pool can launch the attack, or individuals supporting the larger pool join the targeted pool and withhold?

I am confused about the distinction between individual and pool behavior.

Anyone ever thought of replacing the Antminer s3 fans with: http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Quality-Cooling-NF-A14-FLX/dp/B00AEGRGNO/ref=sr_1_7?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1407604312&sr=1-7&keywords=140mm+fan
