"If you can't ship within the promised time (or within 30 days if you made no promise), you must notify the customer of the delay, provide a revised shipment date and explain his right to cancel and get a full and prompt refund.

For definite delays of up to 30 days, you may treat the customer's silence as agreeing to the delay. But for longer or indefinite delays - and second and subsequent delays - you must get the customer's written, electronic or verbal consent to the delay. If the customer doesn't give you his okay, you must promptly refund all the money the customer paid you without being asked by the customer."

Come on BFL...

This +10000000

WTF?

PPC on Vircurex is going up like crazy now.
Sent 13 BTC but only 1 confirmation yet  Angry
Hope I'm not to late to buy low.

Waiting for my confirmations as well! Looks like it's going down now too, sweet!

Wow, it's going up like crazy, x3 in just a few hours. This is going to be a bumpy ride Wink

Also, a currency without  a high level of inflation would do wonders for the enviroment and global warming if accepted globally.
Not quite getting the link there, sorry :\

A deflationary currency encourages saving and prevents brainless consumerism, while an inflationary currency encourages the opposite as the currency itself dilutes its value in time.
4665  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Best ROI hashing today on: April 04, 2013, 05:49:01 PM
Due to the insane costs of BTC @ $138/BTC, a $100 HD 5830 @ 300 MH/s @ 120w @ $0.11USD/kWh has a ROI of 37 days. This of course is dependent upon the BTC price maintaining such a high price and the difficulty not increasing much more. If the price continues to jump at a similar rate to the difficulty then it may be possible to maintain this ROI. If the price crashes to $40 but difficulty doesn't change much(which it won't due to energy efficient ASICs making up a large chunk of the network) then you are looking at a 195 day ROI. It'd be a weird time to fire up a new GPU rig but you might be able to make some money from it.

I have an Avalon on order.  The price of BTC is crazy high, there is still snow on the ground so waste heat is not an issue.  I just had the crazy thought that a lightning buy and coin-mine might give me a free graphics card or even some profit. 

I'll eBay & Target on the 5830.  Wish I lived close to a Fry's.



I'm quite sure you could have a free card, with current BTC prize ROI is likely in 30/40 days depending on the card. Even if it's true the potential reward is not so high, for us "true believers" every bitcent is worth it. You know, today's pocket money may be tomorrow's retirement money Wink
4666  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: BFL just raised prices significantly - and changed the specs on: April 04, 2013, 05:44:23 PM
Their new schedule:

Quote
Pre-order Terms: Bitforce SC (ASIC) products are in final stage development with initial shipping scheduled for the last half of April 2013. Products are shipped according to placement in the order queue, and delivery may take 2 months or more after order. All sales are final.

"initial shipping scheduled last half of April 2013"
"delivery may take 2 months or more after order"

What a joke. And I'm not so sure they will be able to make everybody "whole". They will send 50GHs for Singles and 25GHs for Little Singles.

What about power specs? I'm so glad I did not order a mini rig, I cannot imagine what they will send to "make whole" early mini rig orders.

Guys,

I'm reposting my comment from another thread as it is relevant to this thread as well.

Quote
The pseudo-anonymous nature of bitcoin will prevent anyone from legally claiming that they lost it. 
So, even genuine losses like hacks cannot be offset as losses for tax purposes. What effect this will have on bitcoin as a store of wealth is something unknown.



That statement is also true for cash. How can you prove that your lost you bag full of dollar bills?

In fact, much easier to prove stolen bitcoins than with cash. You can easily prove you own the address, all transactions are public, so you can claim with proof exactly the amount stolen. Not possible with most other financial instruments. Even if you lose control (private key) of one address, you can present history of  transactions with your other (controlled) addresses as ownership proof.

Completely agree with you. The above comment about "not being able to legally claiming" you lost your btc is as silly as it gets. That's what happens with cash, and bitcoin is cash-like. And BTW: cash is "pseudo-anonymous" too, in case some did not realize this fact Wink

Esperar, sólo esperará. Y acabará confirmándose, garantizado.

After some thinking and watching the BTC price go through the roof helveticoin decided to change the technology exploitation plan and go for solo mining :-) mediocre revenues from chip sales do not justify the bureaucracy of a Swiss GmBH :-)
=> we will have no more updates
=> we will see the 28nm chip on network hash-rate charts in August :-)

Is this a joke or a confirmed fact?
4672  Local / Español (Spanish) / Re: ¡¿¡¿Qué %&·!#& está pasando?!?! on: April 04, 2013, 09:36:07 AM
Litecoin es un juguetito para especular. En los últimos meses, intercambiar LTC por BTC y BTC por LTC ha sido extremadamente rentable. Preguntadle a "smoothie" de este foro, que ha sacado un 2000% en plusvalía haciendo "day trading" de LTC/BTC.

Por eso la gente compra LTC por BTC - para que suba y acto seguido comprar BTC por LTC, y así una y otra vez - pura especulación como dice Paraipan.

Claro que te tiene que gustar (a mi, personalmente, la especulación me parece un cáncer, pero esa ya es una cuestión filosófica), y sobre todo tienes que tener tiempo y dedicación para hacer "day trading".
4673  Local / Español (Spanish) / Re: Que sospechoso, no? on: April 04, 2013, 09:28:51 AM
Aquí lo alarmante no es si hubo o no un ataque DDos, si no que en caso de haberlo afecte el precio de compra/venta del bitcoin y te esta forma el mercado sea manejado a conveniencia.
Es el problema de la centralización en MtGox, hay que apoyar los exchanges alternativos

O, mejor aún, olvidarse de las webs de cambio.

Usa tus bitcoin para intercambiar productos y servicios por la red, que es para lo que se diseñó, y olvídate de cambiarlos por dinero "fiat".

Respecto a la debilidad por MtGox... qué quieres que te diga: que pete lo antes posible y con su caída nos quitemos de encima la chusma de especuladores.

Sabias palabras. Me da pena ver como a muchísima gente se le encienden los ojos cuando ven cómo los BTC valen cada vez más euros. Sí, siendo realistas a todo el mundo le complace saber que ahora tiene un gran colchón para capear las penurias que nos pueda imponer esta crisis salvaje. Pero sinceramente, a mi me interesa saber que tengo BTC, no euros (y por lo tanto el cambio me la suda bastante). Es decir: este crecimiento parabólico me divierte por un lado, pero por otro lado no me gusta. Preferiría que no hubiera esta tremenda burbuja especulativa, sino una sana economía emergente. Tal como sube, gastar 50BTC en comprar cualquier cosa es casi suicida (a menos que sea un ASIC), ya que probablemente te cueste un riñón reponer esos 50BTC unas pocas semanas después.

Esto afecta la economía real (la gente no quiere pagar nada con BTC, sólo acumularlos) y da alas a la economía especulativa. Todos sabemos que eso no es bueno: y más los españoles con lo de "los pisos nunca bajan". Con suerte, entre el dumping de algunos players gordos y el pánico a los DDoS a MtGox, los especuladores empezarán a considerar el Bitcoin como "demasiado arriesgado" y dejarán paso a los "true believers" que no piensan en euros sino en BTC, y cuyo interés es crear una economía independiente de los bancos esclavistas, y no acumular plusvalías en dinero fiduciario.
4675  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BBC: Bitcoin is a bizarre game with a currency, which doesn't exist on: April 04, 2013, 09:11:11 AM
I wonder how they can even conceive that a currency where history of all transactions and available funds is public and shared by all the network "does not exist"; while they say that a currency that is just a book keeping entry on a bank server and it's inflated at will by a bunch of greedy bankers DOES in fact EXIST?

What a joke

La filosofía Bitcoin cada día tiene más adeptos

El protocolo es duro como un diamante

Pero un punto debil son los exchanges: están teniendo problemas para adaptarse a la demanda que crece exponencialmente y son muy pocos, lo que les convierte en el blanco más fácil de atacar para el que quiera desestabilizar el Bitcoin.

Todos preocupándonos por el tamaño de los bloques o por los "quantum computers", y resulta que un trivial DDoS a MtGox puede generar pánico y destruir la confianza en nuestra amada criptomoneda.

Hay que solucionarlo.

4677  Local / Español (Spanish) / Re: Comisión de MtGox on: April 04, 2013, 09:01:05 AM
Esta mañana he transferido otros 800€. No sólo me llegaron los 800 íntegros, sino que ni siquiera he tenido que esperar a mañana, en 4 horas y media está la pasta en Polonia O_o. Estos están viendo lo que se les echa encima y están espabilando Cheesy Cheesy (eso sí, diré que la transfe la hice a las 6 de la mañana).

Vaya, curioso: ni siquiera te han cobrado el eurito que solían cobrar?

Y lo de las 4 horas para una transferencia SEPA nunca lo había visto, a mi siempre me ha tardado un día si la transferencia la hacía a primera hora de la mañana, o hasta dos días si la hacía por la tarde.

¡4 horas está muy bien! Menos mal que espabilan...

Have you payed with PayPal?
If yes - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=164254.0
All PayPal transaction could be reversed via PayPal or a bank.

I did pay with paypal, but as a gift. I reported the transaction but paypal denied my claim so I don't think that will work...
Most of the money came straight out of paypal balance as well.

Newbies: please take at least one day to read this forums before buying any cryptocurrency. Paypal is a big no-no, random internet people with no OTC or trustable history on these forums is another big no-no, it's written on the wiki and all over these forums.
4679  Economy / Auctions / Re: [WTS] Avalon 85Gh/s ASIC - Missed the boat? You can ride mine! on: April 04, 2013, 08:50:42 AM
Sorry for being such a pain, but I think these are important questions when considering to invest hard-earned bitcoins with someone with your history.

Fair enough. You can click the link in my signature for a list of the good things I've done as well as the mistakes I've made. I've handled much more money than this and am still entrusted with far larger things than running a simple Avalon profit sharing agreement. It does seem that you're either too new to know or you are one of the few who took my trolling to heart (perhaps you're a sockpuppet of one of the people who bet with me?). I learned a hard lesson and I grew up. This is a legitimate attempt to make good on it.

which has not been honored?
For the past few months I have worked tirelessly to make things right about that poor decision. If you'd like to see the progress I have made so far, please visit https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=140654

Your fears, although legitimate in general towards any transaction in bitcoin, are slightly misguided. I've never scammed anyone, just successfully trolled and crossed a lot of lines I shouldn't have, that I am now very sorry for. I encourage you to follow this thread and see what develops, and I always appreciate the criticisms and advice of others in my business dealings as it helps hone my skills. Thank you.

Summing up: no guarantees, no collateral. We just have to blindly trust that this time you will do the right thing - am I right?

I will pass, but I wish you the best of luck.
4680  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: List of Avalon ASIC batch 3 orders on: April 04, 2013, 08:48:57 AM
Could we get a GH total based on the # of orders listed here?
Avalon batch 3 is expected to be somewhere between 36 TH - 50 TH.

Add to that the 39TH of batch 2 and we will have a nice spike on difficulty only with Avalon units deployment.
