What's gonna happen when people in Europe wake up? Will they panic sell or buy for cheap?

What do you think...

Btw. I wrote to MtGox about the big lags - answer: top management is working on it... Smiley

Just woke up in Europe. Not selling myself, only a little on overvalued local markets.

Me too, I woke up made some sort of undefinable noise when I saw the price. And than 'loaded' made clear he buys, and I made coffee. I totally missed the action, feels bad, but I think I would feel worse if I sold.


I stayed up very late, hooked by the high-volume action... Now everything feel so slow and lame...

Hope some other big fish panic sells. I had a consistent bid at 33.0, but the price only went down to 33.30 Wink

Then it is time for a scammer tag if it is true.

He's not made any attempt to hide it.  His old posts are still there for all to see.  I don't even know if you can call it a scam since he says in the first post that he's likely to run off with your money at some point.  I expect he only pays out using other people's deposits, and so can't lose.

This. Is ridiculous to ask for a scammer tag when the guy has been extremely clear from his first post... Come on... He says that he will double your money with *magic*... And then you ask for a scammer tag when he runs out with the money? XD

I've seen this stunt in action, in Madrid. Pretty stupid, but people is stupid indeed.

Unfortunately it looks like PrimeAsic is a scam.

Man ya gotta give em an A for effort.   I contacted them last night and received this not long after.

This has been mentioned before. Who calls bitcoin BC?  


The only BC references I've ever seen are the emails posted in this thread from Lightning Miner and the customers in the comments section of their website.

What a freakish coincidence!  If I didn't know any better I'd think those customer comments were written by Lightning Miner himself!  Nah, couldn't be... Shocked

This.

I surrender! I have not read a single word in this thread, but am I correct in assuming there's another one of these guys that I somehow missed? I've already did my best to tear the other two entities new assholes, and my asshole shredder is getting worn out.

Allow me to get another cup of coffee so that I can read this thread in a more relaxed state. My only hope is that this better me entertaining. Can't wait to read which country this new outfit stems from.
Please refuel the shredder and let's see what a fresh pair of eyes can bring to it all  Cool

Sorry! Can't provide a fresh pair of eyes for I've jacked off (note that I didn't pen BLOWJOB) so much during the reading of this thread, my eyes are squinted. I think I'm turning Japanese.

I guess we can consider this BitcoinTalk's first Hat Trick:

  • Lightning Miner
  • Russian/Chinese Miner
  • Pyro Miner

Since it looks like none of these BASTARDS are not going to get scammer tagged, perhaps theymos would consider locking there account for 60 days, let's say. Somebody suggest that in Meta, please (or something similar).

Lighting miner is not legit?

NO reply yet from the email I sent.

This is rather intresting

"Note: This is a mailing only address, local pickup address will be given after your order."

I think that means that they are impersonating a well established company like HRP (www.hrp.hu), which has their HQ's and shop in that address...

But they prefer us to go to some dark corner to be beaten up and robbed.
5108  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: PrimeAsic - 80 Ghash/sec Asic Miner on: March 05, 2013, 05:04:06 PM
I tried to call the company to which the domain is registered, and that seems legit: https://www.hrp.hu/views_eng/pressroom/default.aspx

Didn't manage to speak with anybody for a while, when I finally did they told me in very bad english that they don't know what bitcoin or ASICs are.

Looks very bad, but I will do more research. It's very odd that a well established IT company with a well functioning webshop like HRP registeres an external domain to put on an amateurish website, to offer some product that is not displayed in their normal webshop... And it's even more odd that their telesale representatives don't even know what an ASIC or bitcoin is.

I really hope Primeasic guys are legit, even if it doesn't look like they are. I would love to come back from my Budapest trip with 3 or 4 80 Gigahash beasts Wink

did anyone managed to reach them? I've been trying for the last hour, no one answers.

I've been trying too. No way to reach them. It looks very shady... At Futo Utca 16 I see just flats, brand new forum account, brand new website, brand new telephone number (Huh?)...

Anyhow I have to be in Bud next week, and I'm staying only a few steps away from Futo Utca 16. As I said earlier, if anybody is up to meet we can go together to check the units. Obvioulsy I know a few locals, they might provide us a "safety net" in case these guys want to scam us.
5111  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: PrimeAsic - 80 Ghash/sec Asic Miner on: March 05, 2013, 09:19:40 AM
I cannot guarantee that at Futo Utca 16 there is an office, but I can guarantee that in the Futo Utca street there are plenty of offices.

I have to be in Budapest next week. I propose for a few buyers to meet and go together to test the units before buying. In that way there will be less chances to be scammed.
5112  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin-Qt / bitcoind version 0.8.0 released on: March 05, 2013, 08:11:39 AM
In Mac OSX 10.8.2, when I minimize the bitcoin wallet, it doesn't ever show up again, when I click the app in the dock also when I click show all windows it doesn't up. So this is probably a bug, that should be check out it has happened like 4 times to me.

Yep, I already reported that.
5113  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: PrimeAsic - 80 Ghash/sec Asic Miner on: March 05, 2013, 08:09:19 AM
number still unavailable...  Huh

Just been there a couple of days ago. Futo Utca 16 is very close to the HQs of Ringier (one of the most important european newspapers and media holding).
5114  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Where or where have my bitcoins gone? on: March 02, 2013, 11:47:48 PM

All the coins in those addresses where lost to Satoshi-dice. And that happened last year.

No they weren't. Please, I'd rather get real info on this rather than speculation.

That's not speculation, that's what the blockchain says.
5115  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Where or where have my bitcoins gone? on: March 02, 2013, 11:39:28 PM
I have three addresses in my qt client, but I'm pretty sure it was from this one - 1HswYkBpPKdwfjh1CNosZEByTm5gdKgWK5.

The other two are 1Ku3K296rDi4CTXTiacC8kAp8q5tkb28NM & 1KbUKTJsm4zA6YKUH5SXGDxKVCpJEhfkew

By the way, the total value of the above addresses is around 50btc, is this your missing coins?

thanks for helping BTW..

No problem  Smiley

You lost all your bitcoins gambling, my friend.
5117  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Building Armory on OSX on: February 25, 2013, 06:06:00 PM
I'm quite sure now that it is a resources problem. I did a fresh Mountain Lion install and now everything is running smoother, including Armory.

Start up takes 40 minutes, and then it runs flawlessly. Is RAM hungry in any case: with OSX Mail, Chrome, Skype and Bitcoin-QT running there's barely enough RAM for Armory to run. Makes all the system very sluggish, and it looses connection with Bitcoin and crashes if I open too many tabs in Chrome.
5118  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Building Armory on OSX on: February 23, 2013, 11:59:07 AM
Having some issues with Armory lately and new bitcoin 0.8.0, on OSX 10.8.2 (Macbook Pro 5,4 / 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Dup / 4 GB RAM

- it takes forever to scan the block chain every time I start it (30/40 minutes)
- after some time running flawlessly, it crashes

I get this message "Python closed unexpectedly while running _CppBlockUtils.so.)

I also get a lot of errors in the Terminal (I could copy them here if they may help)
5119  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: How a floating blocksize limit inevitably leads towards centralization on: February 22, 2013, 07:39:17 AM
What changed in your understanding of marketing during the last three years?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1347.msg15145#msg15145

The block size is an intentionally limited economic resource, just like the 21,000,000-bitcoin limit.

Changing that vastly degrades the economics surrounding bitcoin, creating many negative incentives.


One of the most lucid comments I have read so far. Thank you jgarzik
5120  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why the Bitcoin rules can't change (reading time ~5min) on: February 21, 2013, 09:30:09 PM
Some of my view:

Actually many people here are just hoarding coins, there are not really a lot of transactions happening everyday, especially miners who connected to a pool. If we remove satoshi-dice, I think at least in the latest 2 years it will still work fine. Satoshi-dice is just an execellent example of no matter how big the block size is, there will be applications flood that space with meaningless transactions



And now imagine Satoshi-dice translated in 100 languages and used daily by 100 million people. And now imagine imagine another 100 Satoshi-dice type of service. That's going to be a problem, no matter how big the block size is.
