I can't change my avatar to any of the available options, either upload, URL, or one of the predefined versions.

I am stuck with my old one.

Barntech / bobsag, can you please confirm or deny this?


Drillbit / Bobsag3 they both had production runs through BlackArrow for their relative boards correct?

That is correct. They built my bitfury boards, and assembled the drillbit boards.

Im asking if this is the mention of the third party assembling the boards in Barntech's post.

I don't see what is interesting about Chinese production houses at this stage.

What I want to know how the shipping of working boards is coming along? There is little information on the other forums, nobody seems to know what's going on.

So BA is the third party?
Where does it say that?

Any progress on getting DEM accepted by Cryptsy? They generally like the dev to approach them.

Blackarrow is a competitor of Bitfury, think aboout it!

I still have a negative balance on LTC. I guess their auto fixit script they were supposed to have run yesterday didn't work.



If you executed some trades without having the funds (possible by error) you are supposed to have a negative balance
Many people are reporting the same problem. The system won't let you place an order for more than your balance, a bit red message pops up.

568  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [HOWTO] flash your jalapeno to 8+ ghs on: December 09, 2013, 07:18:56 AM
Can someone link me the appropriate binary to flash a Oct manufactured Jally?

I don't have the environment setup to compile the source yet.

569  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Experimenting with Jalapeno firmware... on: December 09, 2013, 05:22:40 AM
Anyone managed to flash the Jally using avrdude? My JTAG programmer is only a JTAG-ICE mkI compatible which is not supported in AVR studio later than 4.19 thus ruling out the 32bit chips. avrdude does support it.


I see avrdude already has support for one on the 32UC3A devices in /etc/avrdude.conf


Code:
part
    id          = "ucr2";
    desc        = "32UC3A0512";
    signature   = 0xED 0xC0 0x3F;
    has_jtag    = yes;
    is_avr32    = yes;

    memory "flash"
        paged           = yes;
        page_size               = 512;               # bytes
        readsize                = 512;                           # bytes
        num_pages       = 1024;              # could be set dynamicly
        size                    = 0x00080000;            # could be set dynamicly
        offset                  = 0x80000000;
    ;

I was thinking of making an entry for the AT32UC3A1256 and seeing if it works, but I don't know the right values to put in. Any suggestions?


Failing that, does anyone know how to get urjtag to talk to an jtagice mk1 clone on /dev/ttyUSB0? Linux can see it no problem, it's using a ch341 driver but I can figure out how to get urjtag to talk to the serial port and think it's a jtag ice.

I noticed that RS is working on a new proprietary coin something like mcxBUX to only be used on the mcxNOW exchange, effectively a fiat coin, with a central issuing authority. It's to be used to pay for certain services on the exchange.


My advice is to stay away from any coin that you can't transfer to another exchange or private wallet. That includes mcxFEE, Cryptsy points, and most likely mcxBUX.

Unfortunately Crypsty work on the principle of "more is better", more coins, more servers, more simultaneous customers, more open support tickets. It doesn't scale like that, you always reach your level of incompetence at some point.

572  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][Exchange] Latest Cryptsy Additions, News and announcements. NEW SITE on: December 08, 2013, 01:31:04 PM
did you think about adding liquidcoin and skeincoin?
Adding new coins is probably the last thing they have on their minds. It's kind of like discussing new curtains whilst the house is on fire.
573  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][Exchange] Latest Cryptsy Additions, News and announcements. NEW SITE on: December 08, 2013, 01:25:43 PM
I have no idea what will make Cryptsy work again, but if it means disabling the trading APIs, or disabling autosell, or whatever it takes, please concentrate on getting the most basic functions of the site stable. Many people's crypto investment strategies depend on your site functioning in a stable and predictable way.

If Cryptsy can't get their shit together, the market will create an alternative.
It's bad software, the previous version of their site worked a lot faster. This new blue version has a better layout, but it's a dog. Full of bloated javascript, I am getting script timeouts often.

There is no way they will be able to trade fiat with a buggy slow code, Fincen will want better quality.

new error; sold some coins and now it says a balance is negative and can't withdraw

One or more of your accounts is in negative status. Please correct prior to any withdrawals.
Yeah, this happened to my LTC balance sometime today, seeing I haven't deposited any LTC for over a week, I would think it's just a database corruption. Last time this kind of thing happened it was GME and it locked me out from doing any withdrawals for over a week as Cryptsy were really slow to deal with the support ticket. I shudder to think what it's going to be like this time.

A negative balance should never occur, it's just their bad software causing the problem.

But why should I? Might as well mine ixcoins. Since when was merged mining capability a value in itself?
Merged mining destroyed the value of that coin.

Ckolivas,

I just made a video on cgminer for mac installation tutorial... hope that helps...

Progress: DONE

http://youtu.be/FWd03bqfURg
Much appreciated, thanks!

Hope that will help new people transferring from bfgminer to cgminer Tongue
seeing cgminer no longer supports scrypt mining the transfers are probably in the other direction, as scrypt is very popular again with the rise in alt coin prices. That said I still prefer using cgminer.

Boy, I was going to reply to some of the most ridiculous posts here but, alas, low ROI.

My main objection to 99% of the posts I skimmed over is - people are throwing words around without even understanding what these words mean, i.e. they don't really know what they are saying.

Examples:

arrogant, narcissistic, thieving, megadouche, scamming, puppeteer, con

If the authors of the posts would just quote what (dictionary, if need be) definition of these and other similar words they are using are, then maybe they wouldn't even write these words down.

So if the authors of the post don't even know what they are saying, how do they hope to provide anything useful to the readers?

There is nothing.

Moving on.
Just because you don't understand what the author was saying doesn't mean others here have the same difficulty. I had no problem interpreting his post whatsoever.

It's times like these that you are glad that you can read Chinese, and not have to deal with clueless English newspapers. I summarized the PBC announcement

@Is the news out of China about banks & bitcoins good or bad news?

It's excellent news for bitcoin. Essentially bitcoin exchanges in China and bitcoin itself is going to be treated as a "commodity" rather than a "currency" and therefore not going to be subject to banking and currency control regulations. The only restrictions on bitcoin exchanges is that they will be subject to the standard internet censorship rules and they will need to get the identity of all users to prevent money laundering. Existing financial institutions will not be able to trade bitcoin, but this is a great thing for entrepreneurs.

Also, more excellent news out of Hong Kong. An HK bitcoin exchange basically shutdown and stole everyone's money. This is excellent news because within days, they have been caught and are likely going to go to jail. I'm very, very optimistic about Hong Kong "leading the way" for bitcoin.

The other good news is that the Chinese government understands bitcoin. According to the notice.

Bitcoin has the following four characteristics:

1) there is no central issuing authority 2) the total amount is limited 3) it is not geographically limited for acceptance 4) it is anonymous

According to the PBC, bitcoin is not a "true" currency because

1) there is no central issuing authority 2) there is no legal requirement that anyone accept bitcoin

Bitcoin is therefore a virtual commodity, and therefore is not subject to the laws regarding currency transactions, nor should circulate as a currency.

Also here are his thoughts on the overall climate in China regarding Bitcoin:

1) The PBC has basically given the green light for bitcoin trading and exchanges. They are trying to keep bitcoin trading "separate" from the other parts of the financial system so that if bitcoin blows up, then nothing bad will happen. The thing that I think they are worried about is a Lehman style situation in which something blowing up in derivatives brings down the rest of the economy.

The strategy of creating a ring fence around new markets is a very standard one in China. Hong Kong is an entire city that is ring fenced.

2) Not terribly much. It only started to get on the radar screen a month ago.

3) The main driver is that there are tons of money in China and no one knows what to do with it all. The traditional investments (real estate and stocks) have been closed off by government action since the government has made it clear they will kill any bubble in the real estate and stock markets. So the money is going into all sorts of "non-traditional" investments. Bitcoin is just one of them.

4) Geeks. So far it's not the type of thing that random people will buy.

5) It's not very mainstream. However, its taken the Chinese geek community by storm and there are a lot of geeks in China. As with a lot of Chinese things, the fraction of people in China who are geeks is small, but a small fraction times a billion is a lot of people.

6) No harder than it is to buy anything else online.

Bitcoin has not gotten much mainstream attention and its still something that is with geeks, but you have the perfect storm of a lot of other things. The main thing is that bitcoin has hit China exactly at the time where China is looking at restructuring its entire economy and financial system to move out of low tech industries into high tech ones. It also hit China at just the right time in the credit cycle. China has recovered from the 2008 crash and is just starting to enter into another boom phase (which will last about two to three years before the economy crashes again).

You can exchange DEM now also on this cryptocurrency exchange site:

COINS-E.com
(version with my reflink, and without: www.coins-e.com)

At the moment there are small amount of orders, but I hope it would gets started Smiley

It took over 2 days and 2 support deposit lookups to get a tiny 38 DEM test deposit to finally get credited to my account. The Buy/Sell order books are empty, the layout is clunky. This exchange is best avoided, coinex for all it's bugs, is way better.

The API price ticker doesn't work, so if you need that you are screwed.
