Hmm.. I guess ill change my mind to buy it? Is there any other better asic that ships fast out there?
If you are serious, give Bitfury a look. Yes there is a wait, but they aren't taking orders for things they dont think they can deliver. They had an august delivery purchase(limited and over), and a October delivery purchase which I think is still available. https://megabigpower.com/shop/Look them up in the Custom hardware section. Wait, so you'd recommend buying from a company who has delivered nothing vs a company who is actively delivering units?

But now you can get it on a coin! Eventually... These addresses belong to me. I wasn't really expecting anyone to catch on to those transactions in the blockchain, but I plan to use them on physical Bitcoins in the future. They have been generated and stored offline, and will be air-gapped even to the point of printing them for usage. Certainly, there is a risk in people trusting me, but I hope to build up a reputation as Casascius has done. I think these coins will turn out quite nice with specialized and completely unique firstbits!
I've stopped generating them. I found around 36k of a 151k dictionary. I don't plan to generate any more - I have plenty for what I plan to do with them. There are still a number of good patterns, names, and English words yet to be claimed. I would love to see other people generating them and making use of other unique firstbits combinations.
Cam you or someone else please explain to me the methodology by which you got 0.00000001 transactions to register on the blockchain, assuming individual transactions for > 0.001 are not permitted. It's total transaction size. Since the change address was larger than the minimum requirement, then the whole transaction is allowed. You couldn't (easily) spend the 0.00000001 BTC out of one of those addresses by itself, but send 1 BTC to it, and you can pull 1.00000001 out.

Why does this matter, seems completely arbitrary
what does bitcoin market cap have to do with anythign? or is this just more perma bull garbage?
No need to post in or read this thread if you aren't interested... No, it doesn't matter, but since when do humans only do things that matter? I think it's neat to say "Bitcoins are now worth more than all the gold reserves in [COUNTRY]".

memory checks fine.
re-installed, same behavior after a while...
I think I'm gonna give up on this one... unless a developer wants to investigate, I think all of trouble shooting has been exhausted... bummer.
I don't think you've properly ruled out your hard drive. You said it was "fine", but didn't specify how you came to that conclusion. Have you run a disk check on it? What does the SMART data show?

I'm currently running this with no anti virus and it's working ok but I'd like to have something compatible it there is something.
I'm setting up this account in preparations for some more serious hardware but am currently mining with an old video card. The miner says I'm doing 20 mh/s but the dial still show's zero. This may be normal with such a slow card but It would be nice if you could reassure me of this.
Also the performance for the card shows I should be mining 0.0003 bitcoins/day but the overall performance is showing zero.
Microsoft Security Essentials is an ok free antivirus. It at least doesn't bug you with popups to buy a full version or anything, and it works fine with BitMinter.

I am guessing BFL hasn't deliver the "dream" product(s) and other ASICs companies have??
They've delivered some of each of their products, they just haven't delivered the majority of pre-orders.

Address: 10770 El Monte, Leawood, KS 66211 United States of America
Voicemail: 1-800-809-MINE (6463) Fax: 1-800-809-MINE (6463) Skype: butterflylabs
If you google map them with the above address you can see their office(or what they claim is their office) I was able to get a good 'street view' from the interstate that goes right by them.
They have what looks like solar panels for window shades..
The phone,fax,and skype numbers are of little help.
Anyone actually found corporate records on this shit? As far as I can tell, it doesn't even exist. I haven't gone to much effort, though. I don't know, a simple search on the Kansas Secretary of State website shows they are registered under the name "BF Labs Inc." It also shows their current mailing address as being in Wyoming, which still matches with their original registration there. 5830 EAST 2ND STREET, CASPER, WY 82609. Their "Business Entity ID Number" is 4651691. I'm not sure if this link works, but you can look up their filing on the Wyoming Secretary of State website as well. Same name, BF Labs. https://wyobiz.wy.gov/Business/FilingDetails.aspx?eFNum=149144214231010201167112190255028042109060235081. They've held this one since 2011. On the Wyoming filing, it shows "President / Director CHRIS VLEISIDES 2507 JEFFERSON KANSAS CITY, MO 64108" Anyway, it most certainly does exist. You should go to more effort next time before spouting off about it.

Hard to say, but consider that they still haven't earned themselves a scammer tag here it appears.
Perhaps because they aren't scammers...

Hi,
I'm having a problem with the miner that it just gets to the point where is finished downloading and then gets stuck verifying and doesn't actually start. Is this a new issue or is it something I'm doing wrong?
I'm using windows 7 with firefox, and I have java intalled
thanks
Do you have AVG antivirus? Disable/uninstall it if you do, then try again...

Beta seems to be working great for me!
EDIT: My only comment is that the hashrate seems to fluctuate quite a bit. It'll be up to 61 GH/s, then drop back down to 51 GH/s, then back up a bit, etc. Seems random, and not at all to do with temperature (if anything, the higher-temp one is running a bit faster on average). Any ideas on why this might be? It definitely seems slower than what I was getting with EasyMiner. It's a good 20 GH/s short of what I was getting consistently with that.
Not sure why the hashrate would be lower or fluctuate. It's not with Jalapenos. No error messages? No messages at all. The Jalapeno I have is running quite steadily with very little fluctuation.

DrHaribo, my BFL Singles arrived today, but they are not working with the BitMinter client. It logs errors like this many times per second: BitFORCE (COM4) ERROR: Unexpected response to work results poll command: 8636095F59A26EE93EC42907D221D59B3FF3659FAC2CF16002C6F67E8A14207A,2BA85F2E51E5F4F81A00A429,1,0 Any ideas what could be wrong? They work fine on Easy Miner, but I prefer the BitMinter client. I am getting the same error. Any news on the update? Tried the beta also and no luck. This is in reference to a BFL SC... I have an fpga single which is running fine Could you give the beta another try? Completely untested change. Beta seems to be working great for me!

It is a very wise saying, and the more direct way of saying it is "Don't take out loans you won't be able to pay if the investment doesn't work out."
I guess if you don't care about your credit rating or about being able to take out loans in the future, then sure, it doesn't really apply to you. If the investment doesn't work out, then just declare bankruptcy and be done with it. But for the vast majority of people, this is a poor fallback plan.
Go all in, just don't go all in with money you don't have (what you can't afford to lose).

I found http://www.miningmonitor.com/, but they don't monitor BitMinter. Is there ANY service that will at least send an email my way if my miners are down at BitMinter? Those of you mining at BitMinter - what do you do?

EDIT: So, are we actually mining for blocks right now, or are my hashing going to the deep abyss?
AFAIK, mining remains unaffected. It's just the web access that has outages. Would greatly appreciate the Doctor chiming in to give us an official answer. Well, if the website frontend has indeed been down for 4 hours as mruiter's post indicates, then we've found block 248433 during this downtime, proving the theory that mining still fully works while the frontend is offline.

Bump and inquiry:
Does nobody care?
Does everybody agree?
Does everybody disagree?
Is it all so obvious that it doesn't warrant a reply?
Or is it just so long and boring-looking that nobody read it?
I was hoping that at least J603 would have some response, and that others might find flaws in my reasoning or help me clarify my points.
I'll go with the bolded, and the fact that most of us agree with you, so there's nothing much else to say.

Also, many coin collectors say to never clean a coin, or you'll ruin its collectibility. I have no idea why, but just keep that in mind and do some research before you touch it.

Could you rework with just the known confirmed orders?
Already done: AFox, can you rework your calculation, but only with the known orders and update the OP?
With just the known orders, we're looking at 58,400 TH/s added. TBH, I think applying the rule of 3rds is providing an estimate that is way off:
