100 BTC X $230 = $23,000 I could buy 20 of these and profit a quarter million dollars.  |

Yep, I finally received my paperweight last week as well. It is hashing away at ~7.5Gh, for whatever that is worth.  Thank you for protecting the network. ~TMIBITW |

Not BFL, since they just announced that the first Monarchs should be shipped by the end of December, with HashTrade, founded by the Jacobson Brothers, receiving their units in about March/April.
BTW, has anybody been able to hunt down the tx for that $1M down payment transaction?

Nonsense is a subset of off topic. However, the concept of off topic does not necessarily imply nonsense.
What's most telling is that the crowd here tends to think that nonsense and off topic are essentially the same thing. What conclusions can one draw from that?

I'm going to be honest and say that I have had a plan for about 1.5 years now to go to the South Pole with crypto (needed time and funds I now personally made). I have a 50% chance of doing it this March or so. I really wanted to be the first but if he gets there and does it, congrats.
can i go with  I also asked the guy who was gliding to mt everest with bitcoins...he has yet to respond  No, you can't go with because it's a solo trek. |

I surely hope that Thorkil (Sword Smith) accepts my humblest apology. I'm glad I was an instrumental part in making the flag aspect come to fruition, along with playing a minor role in the amassing of funds requested my Faysal (or is it Faycal?  ) so that he would carry a Bitcoin flag provided by Frankros (Reddit) to plant at the the South Pole. Godspeed, Faysal. ~Bruno Kucinskas a.k.a. TMIBITW |

http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/11/03/us-technology-bitcoins-idUSBRE9A209P20131103In the past three months, miners added so much gear with drastically improved chips that processing power on the network jumped from 289 terahashes per second to more than 4,000 terahashes per second, according to The Genesis Block, a blog that collects Bitcoin data. And there's still tons (literally) of gear ready (or about) to be added to that processing power before the Monarch makes its debut. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=235422.msg2488483#msg2488483Re: Building a bitcoin embassy!

It might be interesting to offer courses on setting up wallet and other basics of Bitcoins especially in two streams, English and French, would be good.
Yeah, that's a good point. We will probably be the first place people come complain if they get their BTC stolen. No worries about the French part, I'm one of those "racist nazi" quebecers that abide by our "language police". Grin

Re: Is the title " Bitcoin Embassy " appropriate?
Sounds a little political.
What about Bitcoin Institute or Bitcoin Bureau? Huh
Just to specify a point that may be uncommon to people around here. The only official language in Québec province is French and we have laws in place to protect our french heritage, mainly to prevent english assimilation. The most famous law is named the law 101 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charter_of_the_French_Language). To put it simply, the name of the place MUST be in French. There is some exceptions in the law, "Bitcoin" could fall under those exceptions easily, but not general terms like "embassy" or "institute". "Bureau" could work though, we have the same in french.
All this to say, I know how that law works and I currently have a name I'm working on right now. I'm pretty confident in it and I think it's a really elegant solution to all this. I'll keep you informed.

Absolutely you must offer offshore mining.
That's something really interesting to consider. Didn't taught of it, thanks! So, a multi-million dollar Monarch order was placed. Gotta love the front of the building.  Honey, how much hash did you want me to buy? I'm there now.  Not hash! Hashing power! Hashing power! And you call yourself a nuclear psychic. Meet the Jacobson Brothers: http://www.hashtrade.com/about.htmlThe Jacobson Brothers
Back in 2011, Jean Marc Jacobson and his brother Remy were researching virtual currencies and found Bitcoin and they decided to invest behind it. Their initial investments have had an excellent return so they decided to take it to the next level with HashTrade. The brothers also started a non-profit organization -- The Bitcoin Embassy -- in Montreal, Canada, that has the dual purpose of helping establish direction for the evolution of Bitcoin and serve also as an incubator of innovative ideas and business concepts that will help propel Bitcoin usage and adoption. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=15672.msg470429#msg470429Re: Introduce yourself

Hola!
From Canada, we're a duo of great miners willing to take over the world with Bitcoins! Grin
I've been lurking the forums for around 4 months, and I wanted to comment on some topics. Since there are rules on this forum, I'm going to respect them. So here's the first post! Ya but it's not like if you can be the McDonald of Bitcoin. Why not? About HashTrade
HashTrade is a premier data processing organization enabling all individuals to benefit from mining Bitcoins without having to purchase or operate any hardware. HashTrade is part of Coinware, a company that develops, promotes and sustains business solutions for furthering the goals and ideals of the Bitcoin network. Funny how nobody has yet to produce the tx showing the $1M transaction.

That's right it's official. I have no life.....this time next year it will be around 70 days.
That's more than I spent, then again, I'm in denial. Thanks to turning the clocks back, I have an extra hour here before attending my BA meeting. I'm at Step 2. ~TMIBITW |

Tapeout?
Did the chips even tapeout?
I guess they did not. from a previous announcement: Late August/Early September Tape Out
There are two processes with this step that we are using. The initial process is what is called a bullet run, it will allow us to get a finished set of wafers in approximately 24 days from the date we tape out. This will result in a limited number of chips available.
The second process is the standard run, which takes between 75 and 90 days on average, and this is where the bulk of our chips will come fromIf they had taped out, by their own schedule they should be getting their hot lot by the end of November and they would not claim shipping only one month later. Also note that by their own schedule, the bulk shipment can only start 50-65 days later. End of december +~60 means early March instead of the "January/February" the are advertising. Of course on BFL's calender, January has 65 days. And all the above was predicated on the initial and subsequent Monarch orders prior to HashTrade placing their multi-million dollar order (the $1M mentioned in the press was only for a down payment, so I'm assuming at least half down which would equate to the multi-million dollar figured I sued). The current expected date for our chips out of the foundry is early December. Obviously nothing will be shipping in November. Projected target is end of December but that is, as usual, subject to change. When I have more info I will share it. Thus, according to Josh's own figures as elaborated on, HashTrade shouldn't expect delivery no earlier than late March, with all subsequent pre-orders placed after that wall purchase not being shipped till mid April, at the extreme earliest. There is no way that BFL can sugarcoat an earlier shipping date, for it would 100% negate the already timeline stated by Josh, now push backed proportionally. ~TMIBITW |

i know your only trolling, and i love the comedical responses but lets try being serious and look at ur list Sean Parker (still influential),
your own rules: 3) Cannot be full of themselves.
lol the sell out that advocated that selling peoples private info to corporations and government was the way zuckerburg should take facebook...
Mark Zuckerberg,
same reason as sean parker
Eddie Murphy,
your own rules:
1) Cannot have had an extramarital affair.
3) Cannot be full of themselves.
Charlie Sheen (winning!)
your own rules: 3) Cannot be full of themselves.
Miley Cyrus
only influential to the teenagers and to advertise cam4BTC
your own rules: 3) Cannot be full of themselves.
i think you are imagining some kind of TV advert much like mastercard, purely to have a well known face saying how great the payment processing is. because i cannot honestly see theses people you mentioned being the motivators for a revolution to change the whole government scheme Seriously post! Fed Not Guaranteed, hence this guy: Mark Duplass. Does he pass muster? |

How about we build our own small rocket and shoot it to the moon to implant the flag? Like we see with iphones and weather baloons. Either way get it crowdfunded in bitcoins http://www.bitcoinstarter.comHow about we used the stash we collected (I described in previous post) as a bounty. Whoever puts a bitcoin flag onto the moon first will get the coins. And Dank can control the stash. |
