will have to add imagebanana to the domains I will NEVER click on again. How do you close that ad without the other window poping up.... never again Or you could just use a ad blocker such as ABP (Ad Block Plus) for firefox.... I didn't even notice anything.... |

Honestly, this isn't a troll post as this looks quite promising, they way they've given pictures and kept up with you all.
With that said, I don't upderstand the thought process of getting it or not getting it and getting my money back. If they turnout to be a fraud, which is looking unlikely, you wont get your money back.
Let me know if I misunderstood posts
I think the key thing to know is that some have already asked for and received refunds. I don't think a scam operation would do such a thing, even if it was to simply further their scam. (My opinion/thought process, anyhow) |

No but I will take some this evening if anyone is bitcoin nerdy enough to see a 240V L6-30R circuit (handles up to 7.2 KW load) with high current PDU looks like. I don't know of anyone putting one in their garage before.
I just got something similar to that, but I must have the wrong model because it refuses to talk to my KVM switch  |

How lame. It uses the old site template, and doesn't even redirect to the real site once credentials are entered.
P.S., spam this guys database with fake credentials.

Not even close, the people running vending machines are not the same people running local shops. And its not easy to get cooperation for internet access. Which leaves 30$+ cell data connections accounts that will NOT accept bitcoins as payment
Have you never seen a credit card enabled vending machine? Even in VA they are getting a lot more common. They don't use a retail cellphone plan. I mean the average vending machine round trip communication is maybe 1kb. The service is more like $5 to $10 per month for low bandwidth connection. Also, cellular carriers have very steep discounts available to very low bandwidth and/or SMS-only plans that are used for machine automation and control. I think this has something to do with them not needing to guarantee 911 service to such "telemetry" applications. |

Funny that some of you still think or dream about the 25K top grade unicorn being real. Getting 50 ghash/s with 32 singles at 800 mhash/s each does not compute. Probably will get only around 25 ghash/s in the end LOL and draw 10 000W.
Paying $25k and getting 6 month warranty on a product that is TOTALLY USELESS outside of this community = too much risk for me.
Maybe others can stomach that cost and risk etc. but not me. Good luck with your backplanes.
Not sure if you chose to notice, but I specifically worded my post to point out that it is obvious that the item does not exist and is difficult to believe that it does exist. This does not mean that I am "dreaming" of such a thing. I was simply using it for comparison to what I actually was dreaming about. You appear to be deathly afraid of it, if it were true. I think that if we gain such capabilities, miners in general will embrace the technology. Whether or not it exists is a completely different and unrelated matter. |

I think Jr. is doing more harm to bitcoin than good. I really do not understand Jr's fear, need for violence or his desire to save people from the scam coins.
This. I and others think that he may be purposely out to harm Bitcoin and its reputation, first indirectly by attacking alt chains. If he truly believed in Bitcoin, he would realize that his actions bring discredit on the entire project, not just on clones that he hates. |

As far as I got it it was Sunday. I actually watched another episode and checked the figures and my conclusion is this is really a well done, fast paced series with, according to wikipedia, 13,000,000 watchers. The interview Bruce did with some of the actors sounded absolutely not like the minds behind the script were up for a plot against bitcoin itself, so I expect it to be really a mayor boost in popularity.
*rjk mines and hoards furiously* Let me know when we hit $100, mmkay? |

Now the vending machine needs an IP address and internet connectivity, but cool none the less.
Now that they have a working prototype, they can work on getting the parts cost down. I'm sure the finished product won't have a tablet on the front that you could rip off.
Breaking into this machine means the vandal can't get any cash which is a great feature. It also means that the owner doesn't have to send anyone out to empty the coins/bills; they only have to go out to restock the machine. Since the machines will be connected to the internet, they can notify their owner whenever they are low on a product, too.
I have used vending machines that take credit cards - having a network connection isn't a far stretch, it just is less common. I am sure that the interface could be dramatically simplified for all users to figure out easily. |

In fact, it would be possible to create a P2Pool-P2Pool that mines for shares on the new Bitcoin-P2Pool.
Lets put a p2pool in your p2pool so you can hash while you hash.  |

Still FPGA worry me for anything w/ a ROI beyond a year.
So I decided to run some more numbers, and found out just exactly how bad of an investment this could potentially be. So lets assume that IF a 7990 had 2 cores capable of 600 Mhash/s each at stock clocks, and IF they pulled the full maximum of 375 watts for a PCI Express card (2x 8pin @ 150watts each = 300 watts, plus 75 watts from the slot), and IF I could get all 18 slots populated and working with virtual machines or whatever technology, and IF it cost me a conservative estimate of $25,000........ .......that would mean numbers such as the following: 21.6Ghash/s per rig ~7500 watts power draw at the plug(s) (assuming 95% efficiency, which is more common in server-grade power supplies) 6-8 U rack spaces, depending on how it was architected. Now, if we assume for a moment that the BFL Rig Box exists and works at the numbers stated, that is as follows: ~$25,000 50 Ghash/s 2500 watts  unknown rack spaces I suppose this serves to illustrate how badly FPGAs have the potential to kick whomp BLAST the ass of video cards into next week. Since my power is 9 cents kw/h, I decided to do an ROI calculation. For the custom monster machine with 18 video cards, ROI is slated to be ~250 days, assuming the difficulty and price remain the same (yeah right ). For the Rig box, it is 95 days. Of course, the video cards and waterblocks have known resale value, but damn.... less than 100 days. I STILL am not sure whether I want it to be true or not. EDIT: minor spelling corrections. |

I'd prefer to see it where it started. I have several boards ignored, one of which is off-topic, and so I would miss it if it were there.

I remember hearing about hybrid pools in the past and thinking they were a good idea, but I forget how they are intended to work. From what I recall, it is a set of p2pool "supernodes" basically. Is that correct?
More simplistically it is just a "normal" pool where the miner is smart. Like in p2pool the miner chooses it own transactions. How it differs from p2pool is you still have a traditional pool front end to handle rewards, manage accounts, check stats, etc. A hybrid pool could integrate into p2pool being a super node to reduce variance (for both the pool & p2pool). OK, so somewhat like http://p2poolparty.net/ or do I still not get it? |

I agree p2pool is necessary (hybrid pools are another options) but technically we only need 51% of miners on "smart" (miner independent) pools to protect Bitcoin.

I think according to this press release, they stopped such transfers themselves, to reduce scrutiny while they apply for a special money transfer license. Not closed at random by Chase. |

the only distortionary effects from MtGox on the price of bitcoin is the commission they take.
I wonder if those working for MtGox get 0% commission on their trades?
I think I remember MagicalTux stating that employees are not allowed to trade on mtgox. |

Exactly what protocol problem is this trying to solve? Is something broken that needs fixing? Or are we talking about 'fixing' something that isn't broken?
Did you read gmaxwell's long post above? I'm guessing he's looking for a TL;DR explanation That text wall (I did read it) covered an entire page on my 2048x1154 monitor at full screen |

If you want a monarchial currency, why not just use the Fed's USD? Gavin isn't perfect, and this is one example. Sorry you consider making people aware of a problem to be "mental instability".
I would prefer to hear your response to kjj, who seems to be making salient points. |
