Accelerators mean there are at least some custom blocks for crypto in there. I'm going to side with you and say they are just terrible engineers and couldn't find a way to get 100MH/J equivalent out of their reserved SHA2 resources. That or they reserved just a few thousand transistors for SHA2 because having the best in class performance should be reserved for real winners like BFL.
Have you considered the fact that SHA-2 in THEIR application may not require the ultimate in efficiency and even speed? 30Gbps is smoking fast for most SHA-2 applications outside of Bitcoin, and 20 watts is comparatively low-powered. I'm sure they see no reason to spend hundreds of man-hours on optimizing a small part of the overall chip design when the application that it is intended for is bottlenecked by other unrelated factors. |

I've done one, but I would avoid eBay like the plague for such things. They are almost certainly scams. Mine was a little hassle because BFL was moving CRM systems and there was some miscommunication, but it got worked out.
If you end up getting a pre-order from someone, be patient because BFL isn't known to respond in a reasonable amount of time. Just send them the new shipping address. (Actually, have the original buyer do that so that they don't think you are trying to scam them).

To insure that in the future my deposits are not REVOKED due to new rules and regulations that may affect Bitcoin and it's community that would render the coins NONREDEEMABLE at a future date.
That will NEVER EVER happen, so stop worrying about it. "Taint" is a concept invented by fools that will never find integration into Bitcoin as a protocol. |

I expect high production value in my snuff films. This better be good.
I'll bet it's just a rehash of some horse-related tomfoolery, like maybe this:  |

I sense it troubling that Bitcoinica has not made attempt to recover the funds, according to Zhou. How sound is the company atm? how much resolution do they have to keep the door open and return all funds to customers? what's holding them back? Is there any rancor left between Zhou and Bitcoinica, as result of the previous hacking fiasco? Zhou sold a business (defective, imo) for big bucks to the new owner(s), who is left holding the bag. Zhou has the money, he has/had the reputation, he is a perfect target to get money from. Call the Interpol. (Maybe Libertarianism doesn't work after all  ) +1 CALL THE COPS NOW |

May I ask, why are you personally attacking Zhou? The community understands your point. None of your posts at this point are helping: this one just damaged your own reputation if anything (it was, in the end, supporting Zhou).
At this point, I'm inclined to believe that you have a personal or commercial reason to blame Zhou.
Needs a scapegoat, since a shit ton of money went missing and they can't figure out who it is. Listen: I don't give a flying fuck WHO files the police report, just do it NOW. |

Your coins were stolen and you didn't call the police? WTF? Are you serious? FTFY |

There are already alternate messageboard systems dedicated to Bitcoin. Go use them, but don't complain to us if you can't get the answers you need for various issues, whether technical or not. Bitcointalk has the largest concentration of actual users and technical expertise.

The forum is managed in the US but hosted in Japan. Wonder what the legality is of complying with Subpoenas. There is probably also a Fed or NSA geek already monitoring and mirroring this board.
Try again: http://whois.domaintools.com/50.97.137.52Hosted at Softlayer in Dallas. Whois protected by a canadian company. Interesting. I thought I saw a whois and/or read discussion that bitcoin.org talk was hosted by Tibanne Co. Ltd?? Has that changed recently? MtGox provides hosting, but that doesn't mean that the hosting is in Japan. I think you might find that MtGox is in the same place, but you can't check since the IP is that of the DDoS prevention service (Prolexic). |

Smart man, providing the source and no executable. Wish all the noobs with an app would do the same.

And I have access to my advisor, who is a forex broker himself.
Any bets on who this is ? ...Maria? ?!?!  |

Have you ever looked into or heard of vertical turbines? They are very wildlife friendly, and quite efficient.  Some guy near me built one himself and has it in his backyard. |

If you disable ALL addons does the same stuff happen? My guess would be a misconfigured adblocker or something similar.
