Pirate was a clear scam. For labcoin its only a couple of people that dont want to wait what happens.

LOL. How many more lies are you going to swallow?

Anyway, Shavers was not only indicted for running a ponzi, but also for selling unregistered securities:

Defendants, directly or indirectly, singly or in concert, have made use of the
means or instruments of transportation or communication in interstate commerce, or the mails, to
offer and sell securities when no registration statements was filed or in effect as to such securities
and when no exemption from registration was applicable.

43. By reason of the foregoing, Defendants have violated and, unless enjoined, will
again violate Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act [15 U.S.C. §§ 77e(a) and 77e(c).]

http://www.sec.gov/litigation/complaints/2013/comp-pr2013-132.pdf


BTW, the two other claims made by the SEC against Shavers would also apply to Labcoin, even if by some miracle it would not be considered a scam:

made untrue statements of material fact, or omitted to state material facts necessary
in order to make statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading



Funny reading that shortly before labcoin stating a success in bringing more hashpower online.

Anyway... you know very well that im sceptical myself. I only think its stupid to involve governments now when labcoin finally is bringing something online. Thats dumb. Because it might mean that even when labcoin now brings more and more TH online it wouldnt matter anymore because some agency now will fight the "unverified security". I think some users simply bought for the actual price and hope to get the remaining bitcoins that labcoin holds back. Seeing the short effect but negate completely the possible chance that he might bring out so much more that it cant be faked anymore.

Whatever... i wrote this many times. If airheads at the end would destroy a real business that only was a bit late and had bad communication then i would connect with labcoin and try to step in personally when he doesnt have bitcoins anymore because he had to pay back. No security needed anymore. A developed and working asic design is very much worth. Most people only dont see it. Comparing it with newer tech from other enduser selling companies. Whatever.

I prefer to wait what labcoin is doing in the next time. Bringing th online or not.

I know that selling unregistered securities was one point against pirate. But that doesnt mean that now all other securities were charged too. It was a secondary point to raise his fine. So the only point government would go after with labcoin would probably be scam. Otherwise we would have to await a complete dying of bitcoin securities soon.
5662  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Work in progess] Burnins Avalon Chip to mining board service on: October 26, 2013, 08:25:56 PM
Got my 2 burners yesterday and i'm having trouble with one of the 2 boards i got.
My 10chip works just fine at around 4gh .
But my 20chip board keeps rebooting every 30sec.

Currently testing them without the CAN untill i can get them both running.

I'm using "--avalon-options 115200:2:10:d:400 --avalon-auto  --queue 4 --bitburner-voltage 1285".

Any1 got an idea to why my board keeps rebooting?

I'd look at what's powering the XX board.

Spot on!
He is using a 5Amp PSU, that is only good for about 380Mhz at 1.2V.


Guess i shouldn't have gotten the power supplies from you then since they can't power your own boards =)
And the CAN BUS cable doesn't seem to work either, both boards alone is fine, but when connected and each board has been terminated.
I get like 50% HW errors when i try it.

Burnins psu can power 2 boards easily... even 10 bbxx overclocked to 450mhz.

You terminated the boards correctly with 2 jumpers each on both ends of the stacking cable? Did you build the stackingcable correctly?

Imagine a government agency crawling through that thread... no... sorry... i cant imagine they will do that only because they got a complaint by email. If these agencies would have enough manpower and so...

You mean like they would never wade through a far larger number of threads related to Pirate's BTCS&T ?
All the SFC or other similar agencies in other countries have to look at is btct.co, and you can bet they will be interested.

Pirate was a clear scam. For labcoin its only a couple of people that dont want to wait what happens. Pirate was followed because he scammed people... labcoin would be followed because its unregulated. Scam is not so sure yet. A couple of people only at most went so far to inform agencies. Thats probably something that even for big, normal securities happens. So when they see that divs are paid already and it looks like divs are rising... i doubt they will follow with full force then. At least not until a big amount of shareholders claims scam, no divs appear or similar.

If they only would go behind because its unregulated then we now would have to prepare that all securities are traced and shut down.

Well the 600 GH/s on Eligius is the older fake mining provided by their Avalons.
The others are bought on cex.io.

NB: This is based on no evidence, and thus is FUD. Since it seems no one here understand what FUD is, I'm starting to teach you how to internet.

How do you explain 3TH spikes on eligius?
If I were cynical, I'd explain it by saing you could buy some ASIC hardware, hash for a few days while jumping between two accounts (one for labcoin and one for your pocket) in order to feign problems with the pool, pretend to need to move to an "asic-ready" pool like ghash.io that doesn't have public hashrate transparency, sell the hardware at a profit, buy hashrate from cex.io, and pay dividends from the purchased hashrate.

If I were cynical.

Though one cant do endless buy hashpower since the remaining bitcoins are limited. But of course it might be a way to buy time. Either to run away and destroy traces or in the hope to finally build something.

http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNjI1OTIxMTc2.html

One of our group members in Chinese community had an interview with Friedcat today. Above is the brief introduction of what Friedcat has done and planned to be accomplished in the next months.
To be short:
1. 1000T would be released around Nov 7th. These chips may be sold or deployed, depending on the situation then.
2. 2nd Gen chips have already been developed long time ago. But they were delayed to deploy considering the unsatisfactory performance.
3. 3rd Gen chips were also under development during that period. It is already developed now but still under test. It is expected to become a mature product in Feb 2014, which means its key indicators would be much better than those of its competitors. It is estimated that the network hashing power would be 1000p then, while Friedcat would deliver several hundred of it.

Hi Realdos,

I think friedcat played some word game here.
From 1:45 to 2:06 in the video, the girl said friedcat told her that, by Nov 7th, he will have sold a total amount of 1000T since the beginning of this mining business.
i.e. this 1000T is a grand total counting all the hardware sold in the past, not that he will release another 1000T around the 7th.

KC

Hi KC,

As I talked to the interviewer last night, she confirmed what you guess that by Nov 7th he will have sold a total 1000T rather than another 1000T. FC didn't play the word game. It's me who didn't translate the content accurately and made people here confused. Sorry for that.

Thanks for clearing up confusion.

So what is AsicMiners game plan? Hardware sales (in which case mining will probably be unprofitable for everyone if successful) or mining dividends?

What I don't understand is why AM would be selling 10 times the amount of hashrate it has (supposedly about 25% of total bitcoin hashrate @ 4ph) when its main source of income as far as I know is mining dividends. Is AM making a considerable profit from asic sales that make it more profitable than mining solo? Is solo mining even profitable? Guess we will have to wait till oct 27th for the financial details.

I now somewhat see this as bad news that 1000 th/s total will be from AM but only hashing 100 th/s themselves I would much rather the numbers be 100th/s total and 100th/s themselves but then again I'm sure whoever bought the 1000th/s would have bought from bfl or bitfury either way.



In fact selling was the bigger part of the divs mostly as far as i know. The thing with selling is that you get the mining income of months in one rush. That has many advantages. Less time, work, power cost and difficulty risk. So in general its better to sell miners if you get a certain amount of months mining income. Mining is a good way to keep a good income stream that is more safe since selling can stop for some reason.

Da ich ja aufklären wollte wofür ich das mache... ich kann nicht verstehen warum die Piratenpartei den Bitcoin nicht haben will. Ich finde die Piraten sind die erste Partei seit Langem die echte Demokratie nach Deutschland bringen könnte. Also Volks-Herrschaft, was Demokratie ja bedeutet. Nicht diese Demokratie die wir jetzt haben bei der man einmal alle 4 Jahre eine Entscheidung fällen kann und den Rest der Zeit hat man keine Wahl mehr. Diese Demokratie ist schon so dünn dass sie kaum noch da ist, finde ich. Homöopathisch halt.

Eigentlich sollte der Bitcoin doch eine tolle Sache für die Piraten sein. Daher hab ich meinen Text fertiggestellt und den mal in ein Piratenpad gelegt: https://piratenpad.de/p/Piratenpartei-Bitcoins-als-Spenden-akzeptieren

Dann habe ich Unterstützung in der AG Geldordnung bei den Piraten gesucht. Leider ohne Erfolg. Das Argument gegen den Bitcoin lautet eigentlich nur:

* Bitcoins wären im Prinzip äquivalent zu einem Goldgeldsystem. Das scheinen viele so zu sehen und deswegen Bitcoins nicht zu akzeptieren. Die Deflationsgefahr weswegen sich der Goldstandard auch nicht halten konnte ist wohl das Problem für sie.

Finde ja schon schade dass da gar keiner überzeugt ist vom Bitcoin. Ist zwar nur eine AG aber immerhin diejenige die sich mit der Geldordnung beschäftigt.

Ich werd jetzt noch mal im Forum der Piratenpartei einen Thread öffnen und mal sehen ob es da ein paar Unterstützer gibt.
5669  Economy / Trading Discussion / Trading securities in bigger amounts? on: October 25, 2013, 08:55:59 PM
How do you handle this? I mean if often invest and own a good chunk of shares. But this means i cant act fast because the orderbooks are often so thin that i couldnt sell even if i wanted. For example when bad news appears and i know i should sell... how? Selling into the ask-wall is crashing the price even faster and often can only sell a part of the shares. Making a big bidwall means few will buy since the bad news happened and it means the price will drop faster because the wall is there. Making small bidwalls might take forever until all is sold.

I thought about selling shares in an auction to not move the price in the orderbook and then move the shares to the new owner. But auctions take time again and its open that there are enough interest in such thread.

So it looks to me a bit like buying and earning or dying mostly when you want to buy a not small amount of shares.

Or are there other ways to handle this?

Sollte das wahr sein, frage ich mich - sind die dämlich?! Warum publizieren die diese Adresse? Damit jeder in Zukunft nachvollziehen kann was mit den Coins passiert und deren Weg verfolgen kann?

Zumindest werden jetzt einige Leute ihre Memory Pool Logs anschauen woher die Transaktionen kamen. Vielleicht lässt sich der Rechner ja hacken...


Wieso sollten die die Adressen nicht veröffentlichen. Liegt doch kein Risiko darin. Wenn der verurteilt wird dann gehören die Bitcoins eh dem Staat. Die werden die bei einer Auktion verkaufen und fertig. Warum sollte es interessieren wer die Bitcoins dann hat? Bitcoins sind ja kein Programm an das man einen Keylogger hängen könnte.

Anyone knows what the error: "BTB 0 usb write err:(-7) LIBUSB_ERROR_TIMEOUT usb_write error on avalon_write" means? I have regular bitburner and bitburner-fury chained to PC. Didn't get this error from start, only a few days.

Edit: Rebooting both boards works ok, but i want to know why does this happen.

If you are on windows read the cgminer readme and use zadeg to install usb drivers. If thats not the case then your usb-port might deliver not enough power.

Never had this error prior to BBF. Well i read about the usb port but i have it plugged in my PC ad why does it need power since i'm powering it via PCI-E power cables?

Any link with a good and cheap USB powered hub?

Do you have windows on that pc running? Then you have to use zadeg like i wrote.

If you already used it or if its linux then the usb-port you connected the bitburner too brings too low power. Try another port on your pc or an active usb-hub then. USB-Ports provide power too. And here it seems to be missing some power.

If Ken succeeds at a) delivering a reasonable product to market which sells well, b) develops an exchange with some depth that allows for trading c) puts aside a few machines for ActM to mine d) continues to pay out dividends and increases the dividends accordingly, I will hunt Ken down and buy him the best steak which can be bought in a Missouri steak house and will thank him personally. And that is not a threat, that is a promise. Also, I will buy a steak for myself and will join him in dinner.

Good idea. I'll join you guys. Let's make sure this all works out.

Yes, lets do that.

Edit:  I am doing everything in my power to make this work out.

I think its pretty normal that Asic-Projects have delays. But i dont understand why you dont communicate anything regarding the project. I mean do you have to pay a fine when you say something? I mean you understand why people are emotional when appointments arent met and the issuer isnt communicating about that? Too many bad things happened with this behaviour.


first the logo ,now you are talking steak!! holy crap.

? Did you mean me or ken?

It would make sense if google would try to offer their shares in an austrian stock exchange, if there is one.

Exactly. And selling securities over the internet without verifying the identity and nationality of the investors, is put on the same footing for obvious reasons.

That would be different than buying other products then. If you buy in a german shop from the us then it does not mean that you have the rights of a buyer that you would have in a us-shop. But you have the rights of a german buyer. On the other hand its not possible for any onlineshop to provide any customer from other countries the same rights he would have in his own country. No one would try to offer products then. Because that not only would mean a huge amount of rules to check but you were bound to the rules for shops in the buyers country too. For german shops that means certain informations on a page in the shop that can be reachable from every page in the shop including info to the shop, contact details and so on. So the buyer gets the right that the country gives he buys in.

Of course its possible that its not allowed to sell shares to a citizen of another country. But its not enforceable because that negates what shares normally are. Shares are not only digital numbers, they are a bunch of paper at the end. So only because banks are storing these papers in their vaults doesnt mean that you cant get these papers in your own hand and sell these papers to your us-friend. And this whole forbid-system woud be broken already. Shares arent named with the buyer and can be used to pay something with too.

It might be the case that the issuing company has to decide who can buy shares. So if they offer their shares to us-citizens then they have to follow us rules. But if a us-citizen gets shares through other ways that cant mean that this company now is bound to us-rules since this way the US could rule the worlds stock exchanges securities.

Maybe a workaround would be that security issuer set rules, for example no sell to us-citicens, the exchanges check the nationality who to sell to but later us-citizens can buy shares from normal traders too. As long as they dont buy from the issuer because that would mean the issuer says yes to us-regulations. Or would a normal person be fined when he sells a share not registered in the us? I cant believe that. Uncle Joe for sure can inherit the securities only registered in japan from aunt Suzuki in paper form. No bank involved.

I think thats odd alltogether and there has to be a way without bucking before the allmighty uncle sam.

5675  Economy / Securities / Re: [PicoStocks] 100TH/s bitcoin mine [100th] on: October 25, 2013, 07:14:07 PM
I'd like to get some clarification on this too. I would expect that the issuer would expand over the 200TH but the wording is not clear. Reinvesting would be really great for shareholders and I think it would compensate for the mine being late. Dave also wrote: "We remain committed to delivering the intended value of this investment - both for you investors and for our own investments." This sounds like they would continue to work on 200TH mine.

Dave or tytus could comment on this so the investors wouldn't have to guess how they are going to proceed.

I must be misunderstanding something. But reinvesting means issuer shall grab parts of your dividends and reinvest them into more hardware. As there are a lot of shareholders willing to part with their shares, won't it be the same if you just buy more shares with your dividends? Why waiting for issuer to move income to buying more hardware for everyone when each shareholder can move income into buying more hardware for himself. Is that because current shareholders are hoping someone will miscalculate and they get earn more money / shares / dividends at the end (at the loss of those who miscalculated)?

No, reinvestment means to raise the mine. Reinvestment doesnt really make much sense when you have to buy miner at enduserprices. But when you get the miners at cost, because you own an asic design, then its a complete different thing since only other companies that own an asic design can compete with you.
I never would reinvest in a normal mine since a normal reinvesting mine pays out dividends and reinvests. But regardless of that... the div will go less over time which at the same time lowers the shareprice. So that you dont earn money in total anymore. At least thats what i observed.

So reinvesting the divs in the same mine that only will have 30% less income each 2 weeks is nothing compared to the issuer creating more miners with a part of the divs.
5676  Economy / Securities / Re: [PicoStocks] 100TH/s bitcoin mine [100th] on: October 25, 2013, 02:48:24 PM
Hi guys.  Don't believe the FUD.  We are *still* working diligently to build the mine.  There was a significant delay caused by Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival, which was compounded by a component manufacturer playing games with our supply.  We have a significant amount of hardware on the brink of arrival.
I'm spending a ton of money (not 100TH investor money) preparing a new site to handle the power needs of future growth, which includes the 200TH mining project.  

Think about it this way:  Tytus and I are both still holding shares of this mining project.  The *only* way to get shares to rise is to land significant hashpower that is measurably paying dividends to shareholders.  You can sell your shares based on FUD and troll posts or you can hang in there and get the benefit of the  hashing we promised.

We remain committed to delivering the intended value of this investment - both for you investors and for our own investments.

This is the official status of all the hardware we have at this point:
***There is no own-mining...its all going to this project***

Soon the hashpower figures will be up on megabigpower.com, and you can track it for yourself.

First i thought you will announce to establish a permanent reinvestment since you wrote about rising the shareprice. Then i read "get the benefit of the hashing we promised". So only the TH that were promised. What means only a temporary rise.

"***There is no own-mining...its all going to this project***" would be way sweeter when i could read ***There is no own-mining or own-selling...its all going to this project***

By the way... the own-mining claim was not that you now mine for yourself only. It means you will do once the 200TH are met. Maybe you even will raise the 200TH to make up for the waiting time but this project was never meant for the long run. At least i would await that you would mention a ongoing mine since this statement really would change the shareprice.

Looks like im angry. Though the only thing i could be angry against the issuer is that the 200TH werent built fully from the start and other tech was bought instead that was sold without profiting all shareholders.

Im not so sure...

Of course you are not sure, because you still havent bothered to read the regulations, have you?

Quote
that would mean that every security has to get a licencse from every country because from every country a buyer could come.

Buyers dont just "come". The key is were you are targeting the sales. Those markets are the ones where you have to be registered. For online sales, Ive posted what is considered targeting by US and HK governments. IN short, if you dont actively try to block investors from those countries, you are considered targeting them.

Quote
If a security is only traded at a german stock exchange then a us-citizen could easily buy shares at this german stock exchange.

Nonsense. The stock exchange knows your identity and nationality and will prevent you from buying securities that are not registered in your country. They must do that to comply with their license.

Note that Im only talking about "unsophisticated" investors here. You and me. You are allowed to sell unregistered securities to the rich and famous. And to the pro's.

You can buy the shares that are offered at an exchange if you are allowed to buy at this exchange by your bank. I never heard that, if you are allowed for one exchange, you cannot buy any share offered there. Maybe its because the bank you work with is the identity owning the shares. So that you arent exposed as a foreigner. If thats the case then a bitcoin bank could circumvent these restrictions too.

Otherwise, lets say Austria is making a law that Google has to apply to their rules if an austrian owns a google share then Google has to follow everything Austria wants to? For example a certain amount of money that the security has to held liquid for each share in total? So you think google has to follow this? Sorry, but that doesnt make sense to me. It would make sense if google would try to offer their shares in an austrian stock exchange, if there is one.
Thats not convincing for me yet.

What happens if you leak information that's under NDA? Breach of contract, eASIC can cancel the arrangement all together, and file a lawsuit. It's not a game.

I know what would happen. But an NDA that does not allow anything? Shareholders have to be kept in the dark? I really dont see why thats needed. I eASIC really demands such an NDA i wouldnt like to make business with them. Thats not business friendly at all. Do they fear anyone reads that they made an error or what?

May be that iam allergic against non communication now... or at least against non informative communication. But seeing shareprice and trust dropping only because of a stupid NDA is again stupid for me.

I remember that german stocks that wanted to find their fortune in USA-exchanges not always did well. Though they couldnt get out of the us. Because they are bound to us-law as long as a us-citizen owned a share bought from that usa-venture. Though... usa-citizens could easily buy german securities before too... at german exchanges. That did not lead to these stocks falling under US-Rules. Only when they were traded on their exchanges.
So now this reminds me on the ongoing question. If a us-citizen is buying stocks at a german exchange and this doesnt mean the security falls under us-law then. So why should this be different for a chinese exchange then?

You are confusing at least two thing; the stock exchange and the security itself. In order to attract US investors without violating US security laws, both the exchange and the security would need to be licensed/registered with the SEC.

If the security is not registered with the SEC, the stock exchange should not allow (unsophisticated) US investors to invest in it. IF the stock exchange is not licensed by the SEC, they should not allow US investors to use their services at all.

It seems very unlikely to me a German stock exchange would not have gotten an SEC license, so most likely they can operate on the US market.  OTOH it seems very plausible that some (german) securities were not registered with the SEC, and only targeted at German or EU investors.

Im not so sure... that would mean that every security has to get a licencse from every country because from every country a buyer could come. If a security is only traded at a german stock exchange then a us-citizen could easily buy shares at this german stock exchange. But the problems the securities had only were that they could get away from us-rules once they offered their shares at us stock exchanges. Because as long as one us citizen still owns a share from that security at this us stock exchange this german security is bound to us regulations. That means to me that they are not bound to it as long as they dont offer it at the us stock exchanges. Since before they do this every us citizen could still buy that share.

It was kind of a gold rush to go on us- stock exchanges though the results werent as good as they wanted often. But like i said... they cant make this unhappen anymore then.

So i guess the difference is where you offer the share. A .com website might be a risk already since it could be seen as a usa domain. A owner in the us might be a risk too. But a owner in china with a chinese website might be out of it. He doesnt target us-citizens especially. So if someone still is coming it cant lead to having to follow every other countries rules. I wonder what strange rules some countries could have then...
