If they have a functional and competitive chip why not go with pre-orders like every other mining devices selling company, if they get enough money/orders they could make the chips.

Has this been discussed already?

Actually I find it strange that everyone is ignoring the fact that FC didn't place a wafer order before his disappearance. He was supposed to have chips in hand in February so the order was supposed to be placed in December or early January. This never happened, yet nobody is complaining about this. If we ignore all the recent facts the problem is still there. They never intended to have miners with BE300 chip. Not on this financial situation.

I'm actually pretty convinced that they could raise funds this way. AM has never failed to deliver a device once chips were confirmed as functional. Pretty sure they could sell $10 million in hardware preorders for equipment for delivery in June if they had management team and could prove functionality of the chip. Production runs for 28nm grow on trees.

You also believed that they will sell or deploy all the 60Ph/s worth of BE200 chips right?

True genesis of bitcoin is not really well documented at all. Besides these facts taken from wikipedia we really don't know much.

Just like the BigBang Smiley

Notice that the date of Jutarul's post was 2014-03-12 - that was from 1 year ago yesterday. That quote is clearly talking about BE200, not BE300.

Thanks. My eye playing tricks on me. Removed from my post since it's useless.

But this isn't a clear reply. Didn't FC had sample results back in December?
MPW, not final package, etc. - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=888260

I said he had samples(which mean not final package) in December. Wasn't he supposed to order wafers of final package after those results? If not then when?
590  Economy / Securities / Re: ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It on: March 13, 2015, 06:15:42 PM
I'm not an investor, not a AMHasher, not a defender by any means, but I remain optimistic mostly because I really want to play with some BE300. That they never ordered a full batch is pretty disappointing since it was expected they'd have chips in hand approximately right now instead of the other thing, the thing where they don't exist at all.

Now this is interesting.

How come AM didn't ordered they production wafers in December after they had the sample chips results? Wasn't February the month of full production? If yes then they should've had chips in hand now, but somehow the chips were never ordered.

Edit: Removed a useless edit.

what have you done for bitcoin if i may ask?

davout has done many things (eg paymium, staff on this forum) and i value his opinion even if i dont share it.

What have YOU done for bitcoin since we are at this subject?

Paymium is a for-profit business. Please explain to me how does that benefit bitcoin. It only benefits him just as he is trying to benefit from a low block size. So before licking his ass please think a bit before speaking.

useless IRC quotes

Stop pasting from your useless IRC channel and stop trying to fool people because YOU HAVE GPG!!! OH NOES LOOK AT US WE HAVE GPG. YOU SHOULD TRUST ALL YOU MONEY WITH US!

592  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin 20MB Fork on: March 13, 2015, 10:23:00 AM
MP & Co have tremendous financial (and personal) incentives to force the GigaBlock issue sooner than later, or at another time of their choosing.

I doubt that they have more financial incentive than 21e6 or BitFury or DigitalBTC. But yes please continue to suck MP's cock.

HashFail scammer!

IV. Satoshi himself envisioned much larger blocks.

The discussion of what "Satoshi himself" did or didn't do, meant or didn't mean, so on and so forth is about as interesting and discussing the Mormon "bible".

Stop quoting liars! Nobody here cares about what MP vomits! Maybe try to debate with your own words to make you look less like a dog who just follows commands.

Is it just me, or is the 1MB supporter consist of just 4-5 of MP's cronies like davout, icebreaker, MP alts, and that baron guy... and the 20MB supporter is EVERYONE FUCKING ELSE!?

It's fucking clear as daylight that even that 20% opposition in the poll is inflated by troll accounts.

OMFG.

Dogs who just follow orders blindly. Except davout who just likes it to refuse every argument without bringing nothing new to the discussion.

And in case anyone missed it: iCEBREAKER is a master scammer! DO NOT believe any word from him!
593  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin 20MB Fork on: March 12, 2015, 10:41:12 PM
This is so braindamaged I don't even know where to start.

Isn't Bitcoin programmable money? Maybe I have the wrong information, but I know that I've heard Andreas say it many times. Is he wrong when he states that?

We need to develop the smart contracts so that we know that we don't need to trust anyone in a contract. When the conditions are met the money are released automatically.

What conditions? How does "the blockchain" magically know when they are met!? I take it you must have zero bitcoin because in order to trade you would have had to trust someone..

Well I know that Bitcoin is also being advertised as programmable money. Even if we don't have the tools now why do you think we will not have them in the future?

594  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin 20MB Fork on: March 12, 2015, 09:55:36 PM
Blending a pound of feces with a pound of pasta doesn't give you a kilogram of anything remotely edible.
What do you expect will come out of these mixers? Whitelisted coins?

I said it already 2 times. I would like to see the retard that will try to black list the coins. Considering that we can put mud very easily on all coins that will make the retard to stop using bitcoin since all of them will be dirty money.

So, how would you actually, in practice, create such a, ahem, "smart contract" ?

By developing software that does that and by assuring that we have enough block space to include all the rules. Why everything that you say has to be limited somehow? Why can't we have freedom to do whatever we want?

Ok. And who is the arbiter on whether the "smart contract" is fulfilled?

The blockchain will be the arbiter. Stop quoting MP who is spreading lies By quoting him you are in the same position like Icetard who was quoting HF staff members. Now all that he can do is eat a lot of shit because nobody is believing him and nobody takes his words into account. You will be in the same category once the 20MB fork will happen.

Do you really believe that MP will "run off" with 1k bitcoin?

Since nobody knows the exchange rate when the contract needs to end how come are you so sure he will not run off with 1k bitcoins? Even at a low exchange rate why do we need to trust MP or anyone into a decentralized network? Why shouldn't MP trust the other party of the contract?

We need to develop the smart contracts so that we know that we don't need to trust anyone in a contract. When the conditions are met the money are released automatically.
595  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin 20MB Fork on: March 12, 2015, 09:32:19 PM
i got confused because you said addresses. blacklisting addresses is imho the same as blacklisting coins.
blacklisting persons can only happen on exchanges (and its already done - see coinbase)

If you think coins can be blacklisted then you are very wrong. We already have mixers and if someone tries to "blacklist coins" there will be lots of services that will appear to help with that.

...
That aside, regardless of where the deal is struck, be it on the forum or AOL instant messenger, GPG would still be used to sign the contract.
...

You missed the main point. Sending money to MP means losing possession of those money and GPG will not stop MP to run away it them, while a smart contract will make it impossible for anyone to not fulfill the contract since the coins will be locked and will be released only when the contract conditions are met.

That's not real money. That 116 million exists only for the purpose of pretending to invest in derpy startups.

It's fake money? You are starting to be delusional. Those will not be invested in themselves and into mining equipment. You are very wrong about them! This is not HashFail who's dick is sucked by Icetard.
596  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin 20MB Fork on: March 12, 2015, 07:17:51 PM
You. Are. Wrong. How many times do I have to explain this you damned dirty government agent.

You are confusing the mechanism by which the fork is triggered, with the economic pressure put on miners afterwards. You are confusing the pre-fork with the post-fork. It costs miners nothing to brand their blocks "version 4," whether they are actually going to adopt the new rules or not. It is an entirely different story when they start minting blocks that other nodes cannot validate. In the post-fork scenario, there will be two different versions of bitcoin for sale at two different prices. Miners will choose the most profitable coin to mine, just like altcoin miners shift around to different pools depending on changing difficulties and prices.

I am sure that 21e6 that just announced a $116M investment round in order to bring mining to the masses will afford a couple of nodes that will support the large block size limit. If you think your boss MP can compete with them then you are simply lying to yourself.

blacklisting people is a different story than blacklisting specific coins.
where you every in a store and heard a cashier saying: no i dont take this coin, please give me another one?

Don't try to change the subject like everyone else. I haven't said anything about blacklisting coins. I said about blacklisting people/addresses. If you re-read my post again you will see that I have already answered to this matter: "Taking into account the history of the coins is simply retarded and will be done only by those that do not understand Bitcoin."

And yes. Since no cashier will ever tell you that it can't accept your money because they were involved in shady stuff the same will happen with Bitcoin.

How about a miner, or a group of miners, broadcast v4 blocks, or even go as far as actually playing along with the fork, for the sole purpose of artificially inflating the exchange rate of gavincoin?
For an actor, or a group, with a reasonable chunk of hashpower, that would be a pretty efficient way to manipulate the cross-chain market and make a killing in the process.

I thought that at least 75% of the hashpower is needed in order to be able to broadcast v4 blocks so I don't see how can a miner or a group of miners can play along with the fork. Maybe you can explain it to me.

Come on, guys, we aren't supposed to be idiots.  Why would we deal with anyone via an unauthenticated protocol for future performance or delivery of anything?

Isn't this a case for a smart contract on the blockchain? Both parties put money and when the conditions apply the money goes to either sides and until then nobody has control over the money so nobody can vanish with them.

Blacklists takes in account hystory of coins, so if a parent address is blacklisted by some services, if you have coins coming from the blacklist, you won't be able to buy your starbuck.

Because you say so? I don't agree. Blacklists take into account only specific addresses. Taking into account the history of the coins is simply retarded and will be done only by those that do not understand Bitcoin.

Just my 2c about blacklists: As soon as they are a reality bitcoin will be dead.
Money needs to be fungible, everything else is nonsense.

You are wrong. We already have blacklists when it comes to businesses and to people that made financials schemes. Every time someone opens a bank account they are verified in banks own black lists and banks share their black list database with other banks.

If you own a company and do maintain a business relation with another company that does tax evasion or does anything illegal you are not punished in any way. Stop with this blacklist nonsense!
599  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin 20MB Fork on: March 12, 2015, 01:34:40 PM
Correct me if I am wrong.

Miners follow the money. If doing what they're told is a net profit then they will follow.

Sure, but the miners will decide no matter what. MP is spreading false information/lies.

At first I thought having green or black lists was a bad thing. After more thinking I came to the conclusion that the future WILL have them. They will be needed just like we have black and green IP lists. This isn't wrong and it will have a minimal impact on the majority.

So it's ok if some unrelated party decides whether you get to spend your own money ?
So it's also ok if someone decides to prevent you from transacting because your coins have a history that you may or may not be responsible for ?

It is not ok but due to the nature of HD wallets I would like to see how will that be enforced.

Fungibility is an essential characteristic of money. Actually bitcoin hasn't a perfect fungibility due to the nature of the blockchain.
Marking/listing coins will definitely remove it from bitcoin and this is not a "good thing" TM, no matter of much thoughts you put into it.

Dollars are used to fund lots of shady stuff, but I don't see anyone blocking me to use them because before me they were in "bad-guys hands".

You and davout don't seem to see a business 2 business potential use of white/black lists while I see lots of potentials. Don't try to enforce your limited and personal vision to everyone else! There are plenty of cases where business could benefit from this and I don't see a way to force it to regular users. There will be businesses that will want to have their address white listed because their activity history will be available on the blockchain and this will make them get a load much easier since they can't alter the books. This is just one example (since you are too lazy to think of any or just refuse), but there are much more uses to this.

So we can have them both and have everyone happy. Since miners will follow the money I am sure that they can find ways to avoid this and that this will not impact them at all. Nobody can force them to mine on a single address!

We sold out all of our 2nd gen miners.

Congratulations!

I hope we will see a price increase in the second hand market!
