at least they haven't staged anything yet.  It'd be easy for them to film a small box of fans with lights on, and stash an underclocked Avalon running at 60 gh/s and claim to have a working SC single.

That is your perception.   I would argue they have staged EVERYTHING.   No company in the world would CONTINUE to collect "prepayments" for machines they have failed to deliver on and do not have the capacity to even know WHY they cannot make a PROTOTYPE work.    Ask yourself the question I asked.   Could you go to ANY VC in nyc or the valley with a convicted felon and a software tweaker who has a judgement against him for stealing sat TV and ask them for 20MM to build a hardware device that neither person even understands?    Josh did not even understand when someone told him what was wrong with his photos.   Instead he did what every con man has done through history, attack the person that is pulling back the curtain.
I would suggest you people that have pre-orders with BFL contact the government NOW.   If you wait, your money will be zero.   (and that zero can be given in either bitcoins or the fiat you paid in).

When I asked who has contacted the government, the pitch forks came out after me.

Didn't they say they actually had chips way back in Oct or Nov, and they worked, but they just want to make them a little better for the good of the customers and all that?  I thought they were claiming functionality, but some clock timing issues kept the chips from scaling to their potential.

Twice actually.  First they supposedly had chips in October, but they were fail because they had a "diffraction issue".  Apparently we're to believe that they were completely unaware of the need to apply OPC to the masksets.

Then they supposedly had another round of chips in December.  The ones with the "clock buffer issues", still in QFN packaging.
[/quote]

But no one ever saw the first chips. They had clock buffer issues, heat dissipation problems. But again, no one ever saw them. They never proved they could hash anything with the imaginary chips.

Now, they have new chips. Pictures of them even. Shiny. Someone says that they are stable to a specific Mhz. However, in their test rig, they get nothing.

Here is my conclusion on that, is that the chips are bad. I get multi layered boards made from a local shop in 24 hours. In their previous weeks now of silence since they have had chips in their hands, if they only made one board per day and tested that, they could have tested more than a dozen boards. But with how much money is in this, they should be testing several revisions a day.

They obviously have no idea what they are doing, and they have nothing to show for it. It would take all of 5 minutes for someone from BFL to give an update on any of the actual progress. But it's bad news, so they don't. It's better to take some heat for the silence than it is to freak everyone out that their chips simply do not work.

EDIT: Need to add some more.

If BFL had a single working test machine, they would have it hooked up somewhere with videos and pictures and everyone on the planet would know. They would hire more staff to accept all of the preorders that would start flowing in at raised prices.

They have nothing.

That's cool, the forums are ran by PIA? Same service I use and I love the service, really good stuff.

quick correction just for FUD insurance, the forum is ran by theymos, theymos is the only one that has access to the forum's server box. Private Internet Access just donated the box so the forum can be hosted for in exchange for that permanent ad on the bottom.

Ummm yeah, that's what I said... ran by theymos. Yup, just double checked.

They provide the server for hosting. Theymos runs it along with his legions of moderators.

I started mining around April 2009, If you can guess how many bitcoins I have with a +-5 difference, I will pay you 25,000 BTC.

Any forex traders in the noob section?

Maria 2.0

Prove it, sign a message with your earliest mined BTC.

I can do this. What block do you want me to sign?

3.

Or the earliest one you mined.

I think it was block 9455. Not sure.. Do you know anybody who has mined a block lower than 9455?


9455 sounds good. Sign it with the client so we can verify it.

I know Satoshi mined the genesis block, number 0.

please not! I just lost 100 TRC since I cannot figure how it works on cryptonit.net and wherever else, moreover I lack the right smartphone.

There is a chrome addon and plenty of other websites that will do it for your webbased.

Tried several. Unfortunately none worked.

It's open source, host your own. You're probably doing something wrong because lots of people use the chrome addon for sure.

Read the plans better, the free plan has no DDoS mitigation.

Hello

Can you accept payment with Paypal ?
Are you able to unlock Iphone from UK ?

Currently I am only accepting Bitcoin for this service, and am offering the service for AT&T only.

If you are US based try localbitcoins.com. Many people will take Mtgox USD just as easily as they would some BTC. Especially if you are offering 1=1 or close to it.
635  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Total receipt of taxes in the USA is $3 trillion on: March 25, 2013, 09:54:02 PM
Total receipt of taxes in the USA is about $3 trillion a year.
The number of citizens in the USA is about 300 million.
That means if you simply, gave all the money from taxes to each, equally:
Each citizen would get $10k from taxes, apart from their private earnings.

This would free people from having silly jobs, coming up with a highly productive and liberated society.

I'll take the silly plan of yours one step further. In fact, give you two choices.

We can all pay the same amount of tax equally... so we each also pay $10,000 a year. Or we can have the rich pay for it. They have enough, right?

But with that $10,000 you are going to have to pay to access private roads and utilities, schools, etc. Sure that's going to be enough for you?

Where is the profit of Bitcoin?

If Joe buys a bitcoin for 10 dollars, and then sells it to Steve for 15 dollars, Joe has made 5 dollars profit, but that was not 5 dollars from bitcoins, it was 5 dollars from trading bitcoins. Trading bitcoins is more like trading a commodity than trading a stock. You do not get dividends from holding oil, you make money by selling the oil for more than you paid for it. Is oil a ponzi scheme?


We must give out oil rationally!!! I want my share of oil in a bucket delivered weekly.

We need to build it out rationally.

Communism! Must... force... everyone... to be equal! Let the government hand out the bitcoins. We can't trust any other way!!!

Note:

"wtfvanity" has taken over this service (originally here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=139530) and will now be performing these unlocks requests.


Thanks theboss.

I hope to take things up a notch and hopefully can automate some of it shortly.
