Can we halt all orders on xcp or somehow rollback? Is it even possible to rollback?

What will happen to the orders and balances on poloniex?

What a dump..

same here 12 confirms

The dividend is pretty high if your buying these shares at these all time low prices, and at a price of 0.05, right now it's 0.03, 5 btc would get you at the current next month dividend(0.001) of 0.1 btc per month , and a yearly return of 24%, when the dividends are higher than 0.001, then the return would be even higher.

When the price of btc goes up, people feel more comfortable holding coins...As long as the fund continues to reinvest and be at the front of new equipment, I think they will be able to keep the consistant dividend, and possibly increase over time.

As the price of btc becomes 1000, a share price of 0.05 even becomes relatively expensive in terms of fiat which people are psychologically adapted to thinking, it is harder for new people to go into shares if they didn't have 1000$ to risk just to get 1 bitcoin, people spend 200$ to get 0.3 btc, so they would be less likely to buy shares if they can only have 6 shares (and that's at an all time low price), while having to trust that the fund will continue operating as planned.

If havelock maintains what they have been doing, or maybe use some of the funding from HIF to get even more equipment...

Maybe a share split by another factor of 10, would make the prices more managable for people getting into btc now at such higher prices. Right now 0.03 would be 0.003, and perhaps this would be advantageous, instead of someone with only 0.3 bitcoins being able to get 6 shares, they could get up to 60, which I think appears better mentally, while providing the same return per month

wasn't trolling,

 i got the news via email, i sent an email nicely asking about the downtime, and got the response, hope that clears up my source (for what it is).

I heard about server changes, will be back eventually

lol i do it too for 0.2 am hot as well

Yea it might not be that easy to trust someone elses 'homemade coins', but purely for personal savings, it's a nice way to hold an offline wallet

I wouldn't say there are too many kinks to work out,
I made a physical object which holds some btc.
Make a paper wallet folded up. During construction,
I put the piece of paper carefully inside the part.
part finishes completely, and now the object holds the coins.

This concept can definitly apply to a ridiculously large range of parts/products.
Only you would know that the little plastic cat on your window is actually a stash.

I can 3d model from a paper sketch if you want (specifically for 3d printing, kinda poor timing for me to actually print it this week as i brought my machine down for maintenance, am busy with other projects, but in the next few weeks I'll have it back up running and would be able to make high resolution ABS prints of parts.

Perhaps someone else is already doing it for you, but in case you need some help, let me know

Things like motors + electronics, I bascially have to buy it ( I can source all electronics needed + motors for about 300 euros (with metal pulleys, belt, optical endstops) and the rest of the the things I can cut, print, and build: plastic parts, glass + wood bed
(Maybe easier/cheaper to buy motors+electronics more locally and shipped directly rather than through me at the moment " no bulk rate supplies yet). Building yourself is definitly the cheapest way to get a 3d printer though, but requires dedication (calibrating is usually hardest part)
Shipping would be alot though fully assembled, as they are decently sized and weighted.

You can actually make PCB's using a reprap, this is an example:

Since there is some interest, I will put together a site in the summer with some documentation and will be able to post printed parts or what I make with some sweet discounted btc rates. I'll probably get around to making something over the next couple months.

I would make some prusa sets first, since it's simpler and easiest to source printer (8mm threaded rods at local hardware store)

Open source ones are very much like linux versions versus windows or osx, makerbot for instance is based on all the opensource tech, but not as easily hackable since it's more of a ''finished'' product, not built for evolution like a true reprap (but of course you can make a reprap with any printer).

I plan to slowly evolve my workshop to be something more full time with more capabilities and products,
and hopefully develop a kind of distributed manufacturing network, maybe one day we can have essentially open source next gen factories making all kinds of conventially methods obsolete...

Cool, ya buying is best option if you just want something that works without the learning curve, but I guess if you really get interested, the learning curve may feel worth the knowledge in the end.

(Kind of like learning to buid your first computer I guess, once you manage to get your first parts coming out, you see the power in being able to build new or most interesting things later on.)  Robots...other machines, I was maybe looking to make a set of 3d printed bagpipes eventually.

I have an exhibition coming up so I'm busy for a while, but I'm looking into experimenting with some vapor finishing parts afterwards  

http://blog.reprap.org/2013/02/vapor-treating-abs-rp-parts.html

If you have any questions let me know

A finished unit as in full printer? full set of printed parts ? or full set of parts + electronics+ mechanics etc with instructions ?

I have an idea for a kind of open 3d printing community/market which will benefit a variety of parties

I'm wondering if anyone has any tips on where to find help to learn how to create something like this?

I'm planning to invest into making a demo first of sorts, but I might be interested in finding help on some parts of what I want to make. There are some unique aspects.

I've never made anything similair to my idea, or started a kind of 'company'.


Thanks!

I would want to sell parts individually for certain pieces (Extruder say), also can make glass beds with nice 100% wool insulation.
Prices can vary, a full set of plastic parts for a machine goes around 30-100+ usd, depends on the quality/material/resolution..

I could make a set of PLA parts for 0.3 btc, maybe ABS later but im busy now so I haven't had time to do some maintenance
Full machines the most basic setup can be about 300 up to expensive laser / powder ones..

I learned everything from wikis and forums, and fixing my own problems,
There is also completed printers which you can buy from various shops
http://www.alephobjects.com/ is in the US

emakershop
makerbot is most successful personal printer company

Any parts are interchangable with other printers as long as you can mount it properly (Usually requires some kind of custom part which when you have a printer you can make yourself). Basically once you have a basic one, you can print physical upgrades for your own machine.

For example, one of the most important parts is the hotend, which if you have a proper mounting plate you can use the same hotend on almost any printer with some modification maybe.

If your not really into making your own one, makerbot, ultimaker, leapfrog, sumpod, these are some companies which come to mind.

I have a friend who's wanting to get rid of a sumpod lasercut wooden one (I'm not sure if they still sell it). I might get it from him and finish building it (He lost interest and never finished it), then maybe looking to resell it over the summer or something.

3d printing is very cool, hope you get into it


Here are a few more links with tons of links:

Ya sorry I was a bit vague.
I was referring to parts such as required

http://reprap.org/wiki/Prusa_Mendel_(iteration_2)

But looking for anyone who's maybe building a printer, or wants anything specific made.

I'm a student but I would consider myself pretty experienced with making different parts (build my own printers and make many prototypes for different technology design projects (mine and other people).

Since it takes me a while to make a set, I'm wondering if anyone is looking for these?
