A mirror would be nice. Its uptime is not particularly great.

LOL. It looks like I am the most ignored on this whole forum. Can theymos confirm this  Nope. Counting all users (not just very-established), PinkiePie (now banned) is the most-ignored with 30 ignorers, you have 22, and Matthew has 20. @theymos
I think that the "ignore color" should be visible even to themselves.
Done. So Matt only needs one or two more ignores to become "deep-piss yellow." Tempting. |

yea, everything went out today.
Cool. Thanks for update! |

are there fees for accepting and sending wires?
Not at Gox, at least, but you do have to pay whatever your bank charges. |

Not sure where I got the idea, anymore... But orders were shipped today, right?

You're very established if:
- You have 100+ hours of online time
- You have 100+ posts
- You registered 30+ days ago
There are ~950 very-established users right now.
Is this correct? Is it a combination of the above criteria or is any one sufficient to be considered very established? If only one of the above is needed then there must be >> ~950 very-established users right now. If all of the criteria are required then I only see 3 users with 100+ hours of online time on the https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats page. 100 hours, not 100 days. |

They seem to have many varieties for case fans. Anyone have experience with some of the more exotic constructions? Rifle, liquid, & maglev, for example?

Been spending the past hour getting the BB honey from a crystallized state to a nice, runny, homogenized state. It has a deeper flavor than I'm used to -- almost fruity. Very tasty! Just waiting on the rum-flavored vanilla extract from DeLorean to be ready and shipped - then we're good to go. Will send out some test batches within the next week to people involved to see if 1lb bags can be shipped in padded envelopes or if the granola isn't bound together enough to not utterly fall apart during shipment. After that, will work on a more savory variety to be used perhaps as a salad topping. Then, a chocolate variety, and then it'll be on to home-made pasta & crackers in a few months. If there's interest for other flavors or a specific baked good, lemme know! Don't think we can compete with Mandrik's baklava, however! ETA: Also added a bit of cinnamon and some flax seed to "original" recipe. Edit2: Success! $10/lb granola should now be viable without requiring bulkier purchases. These price reductions were made possible by making smarter choices about how to ship them, not by picking out cheaper ingredients. Revised pricing as follows -- this is the final pricing unless I messed something up: 1/2 lb - $7.50 shipped continental US 1 lb - $10 shipped continental US 3 lb - $26.50 shipped continental US 6 lb - $48 shipped continental US Edit3: Shipping to Canada also back on the board. If you live outside the continental US, but either in the US or Canada, add $2.50 more for the 1/2 lb & 1 lb bags. 3lb & 6lb shipments outside the continental US will not be available due to the very high shipping costs once I'm unable to ship in a "large envelope." |

Dunno about others, but here's Gox's report:  5m Yen = ~$60.8k 60.8*12=$729.6k So they operated at a pretty big loss last year, but that was with that enormous hack and sending out a TON of free Yubikeys. We'll see how they fare through this year. (ETA: Though, maybe the USD & BTC revenue are separate?? Perhaps they held the 52.4k BTC profit, which'd amount to something like $250k on top of the $337k USD profit, so ~$590k total profit, possibly -- still a big loss) Looking at Gox's numbers, it doesn't seem like to far a stretch to assume no exchange operates with healthy profits unless it's a one-man operation on very cheap infrastructure shoestring operation. |

There is now another DI responding on the Internet claiming he is being cyber-stalked by someone seeking to ruin his videogame handle's reputation. This strikes me as odd for a couple reasons: 1) BTCTalk ("fake") DI changed his avatar to something generic after it became obvious he wasn't going to repay. Before, he was using the same avatar as is used by the so-claimed "real" DI. If DI wanted to make a fuss over the "real" DI, why would "fake" DI not use an identifying avatar? 2) Everywhere, users of the handle "DoubleIcaras" claim to live in the Bedfordshire area of the UK, which corresponds to the IP addresses of "fake" DI collected by forum admin. "Real" DI's alleged stalker lives near him, and his chosen venue of harassment is months-long loans he defaulted on, then gave an excuse for? I do believe that's a sign of getting somewhere. |

They don't. If someone pulls a gun on you, you will be dead before you'll get yours out.
Well damn. Then I've been killed 13 times now. I've only been killed once.  |

It was down for about 5 minutes. This happens 1-3 times every day while I'm on (which is quite often). Could just be db backup. Dunno about Gox.

still based on a USD system where the 0.01% have total control. i don't get your point.
You could check out election results in the US to see the vast majority of people either have no problem with the status quo, or have no interest in monetary policy. Anyway, Venmo sounds quite similar to Dwolla, except they somehow work with credit card companies without charging a fee. It seems their business model relies on businesses being willing to pay fees. It's effectively just a money pit right now for whoever decided to invest in it. Can't imagine they'll stay around for more than a few months. Then again Mt Gox could start using them, and with the help of the Bitcoin community Venmo will be as big as Dwolla, whereupon in a few months Venmo would get another, let's say, $5M in funding, then... Gox might even be willing to pay the fees to allow Venmo to sustain itself, too. I imagine chargeback problems would cause another big clusterfuck, though. |

Perhaps it's time to start offering markets betting if Bitcoin will be moving anywhere significant in the next few weeks.

i want to stress the fact, that we need an expansion plan. most other mining corporations now invest into FPGAs which save them quite alot of electricity costs. how can we finance this? i guess if we raise some capital for investing in e.g. BFL singles the shareprice would be a lot higher, cause ppl like to see that there is a positive, not stagnating outlook. thought tygrrs dividends are quite nice, i think investors like me, who own 1.5% of tyggr would rather like to see a steady slow growth and good dividends. at the moment it looks rather like goat is not as motivated as we would like him to be.. have you sold to many shares? btw, how many shares do you still hold goat? and how many does kluge have? greets If anything, he hasn't sold enough shares. I was able to purchase all the remaining shares a couple months ago @ IPO price because there weren't enough buyers (oddly enough, when I made the buy-in, people were paying significantly more on GLBSE to buy aftermarket shares while Goat was selling cheaper IPO shares which would've benefited TyGrr. FPGA returns are quite low, though you get a higher % profit, obviously. If Goat had taken the $ I sold to him months ago and purchased BFL units, we could still be waiting a 2-5 months for them to ship anything, tying up those funds and making TyGrr pretty illiquid. If Goat were to close up shop with unshipped BFL units, we'd basically all get a few $ from the hardware he had, and a claim on BFL units which might materialize in a few months. TyGrr stagnates by design because dividends are paid out almost entirely to shareholders. That's not a growth model -- it's an income model. It can only grow if people buy more IPO shares (which are currently being offered above aftermarket price), Goat issues bonds on behalf of TyGrr and people buy those, or Goat eliminates dividends and reinvests those into more hardware (converting TyGrr into an aggressive growth stock, where returns come only in the form of share price). Alternately, he could halve dividends, giving high BTC returns to shareholders and allowing slow growth. Goat has the means to allow the BTC effectively held by TyGrr to earn interest, too -- the BTC doesn't have to sit around doing nothing. I'd be interested in a vote on it, though I'd vote against eliminating dividends entirely. I do believe GPU miners who pay reasonable electricity rates will be pushed out within a year, and it would be nice to see some FPGAs to reassure us TyGrr will be around long-term. For the sake of disclosure, I currently hold 272 shares. |
