Danger! Incoming brainfart. How about doing something that nobody has ever done before? Sounds obvious, but... The following is what I just thought of literally a minute ago, having the entire idea pop in my head directly after reading the title of this thread. ANIMAL PORN. Dedicate a site to animals in sexual position, but not actually doing any sexual acts. Have people contribute photos of animals dressed in sexy outfits (not photoshopped). Can you image an elephant donning a physical tutu? A male boxer (dog) in an S&M leather outfit. A groundhog in a French maid outfit? A chipmunk in a string bikini? You could have monthly contests for the top three, voted on via Bitcoin. Here's the beauty part of the million dollar idea: Congratulations! animorn.com is available. Snap it up before someone else does. Once a year, hold a convention where owners show off their animals donning sexy clothing. The media would pick it up so damn quick, it'll make your Robin Sidel's head spin.

Moreover, I was curious as if there's any backstory to BitcoinINV that I should be aware of, hence inquiring about links in the OP. Seriously, a tad perplexed.

http://www.seattlepi.com/news/crime/article/Feds-9-sold-worthless-stocks-in-massive-scheme-4728506.phpNEW YORK (AP) — A crew of con men sold worthless penny stocks to people around the globe at pumped-up prices, then victimized the investors again by setting up a fake law firm that charged them to try to get their money back, federal authorities in New York said Tuesday. I can't even imagine such a scenario where a Bitcoin entity goes under, vanishes, liquidates, etc., then a nefarious body, possibly attached to said entity, comes along to save the day. Praise Satosh! Amen. <i purposely left off><cheek cramped by tongue>

I'm no shill. I've been totally honest about any affiliation.
I visited them in Sweden and asked Q's you guys wanted whilst considering my own purchase and a jolly to Stockholm.
I met other forum members there. They were there before I arrived bag in hand from the airport. I can provide evidence of flights from the UK to Sweden if you're that bothered.
I have studied an engineering discipline and would like to work in Bitcoin, maybe KnC, but I don't want to receive any payment unless they prove they can deliver for the exact reason I don't want to have any responsibly for your own decisions.
I can say KnC are real and exist as I have been there.
I cannot and will not influence your decision making. You are responsible for your own research and due diligence.
I only share my own research, of which a lot is clearly KnC based as they are work in progress for me and I now have a vested interest.
By that statement I could also be a shill for Visa, Mcard and all card issuers!?
I don't want to see companies fail, I'm just fed up of seeing people ripped off. I believe Hashfast are real, I believe Cointerra are real. I haven't behaved maliciously towards them, but there is a long way to go before they offer people a safe and secure purchase.
Have you ever seen me say anything, anything but positive comments towards Bitfury? I'm in awe of that guy and his distribution means except card.
As for the date I joined, you're looking for reasons to throw accusations. Look at my posting history. I spent a significant amount of time in other threads before KnC were even on my radar.
It's cool to be inquisitive or uncertain, but don't jump to conclusions. I've a specific checklist of what O look for before committing to a purchase and BTC has been abused as a pre-order payment method. Fact.
I only read half this post, and I'm sorry to say...wait for it...+1. I was rather critical of KnC and Bitcoinorama at the beginning, but not so much now. But, please keep a watchful eye on them, acting in the most professional manner as possible, while I go and stick it up BFL's ass. Oh, and BTW, did I read somewhere that some outfit has chips tied up in custom?

credited. lol, yep. It hardly a surprise that a ponzi scheme would develop in the bitcoin community. Ironically we need regulation for bitcoin to thrive.
I just caught the misspelling and corrected it prior to seeing your post. Thanks, bud.

Let me get this straight: The guy who conned millions from bitcoiners is credited for proving that Bitcoin is money.

http://www.politico.com/story/2013/08/congress-starts-looking-into-bitcoin-95464.html?hp=l3The Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee on Monday sent letters to several agencies requesting that they disclose their virtual currency policies, how they developed them, how agencies are coordinating and finally what they plan to do going forward.
“The more folks that we talked to related to this issue, it became very clear to us that this is not a sort of technology that’s going away,” a committee aide said. “This isn’t something that’s a flash in the pan. It’s something that’s going to be with us.”
Now, this is interesting. Looks like initial arrogant attitude among politicos "this ridiculous thing is going to die off soon" is slowly developing into something like "this stuff might be for real, now how do we control it?". I believe that the Senators need to be educated on how they can benefit via Bitcoin before they act, i.e. payola.

SSDP
I'm leaning toward a yes. Rassah, edd and Jason can publically weigh in on their feelings prior to having SSCP moving forward in having a Bitcoin donation option embedded onto their website.
Yes for me too. Of course all this is predicated on whether or not SSDP opts to embed a Bitcoin donation option onto their website.

Flops (Floating Point Operations Per Second) do not apply to Bitcoin, Especially not since the advert of ASICs.
If you want to do a comparison do it with the estimated power consumption.
That's not a good comparison either, because btc mining gets more efficient. Mining power has gone up by a order of magnitude, but I bet actual electricity usage isn't substantially higher than a year ago. That's not a good comparison either. I suggest counting the number of startups claiming to be building ASIC-based...

Hi Sockpuppet, no, this link is new. If you want to get our attention, get at least any of those thousands of "Phoenix Technologies" to post it on their site and not some sbwire … I tried to find the logo and found out that tineye.com is particularly bad at finding text-logos. Finally, a ASIC-based company I can believe in. As in, I believe they've acquired part of that logo elsewhere. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_TelevisionErgo, anybody ordering from them deserves what they get--NOTHING!

For some reason I get the impression that people that speak of the Illuminati (or the Lizard people, why not take it a step further?) are agents that are trying to discredit valid information by mixing it with a bunch of nonsense BS.
Throw in a guy with a rod in head to comment on such, then you don't know what to believe.

Mark my words, some day in the very near future Jody will pen something akin to the following: Monday, ?, 2013 Shipping Update by BFL_Jody , ?-?-2013 at 07:55 PM
Jalapenos: ?, 2012 pay date (0)
Little Singles: ?, 2012 pay date (0)
Singles: ?, 2012 pay date (0)
MiniRigs: ?, 2012 for the first round of 500gh/s units; NONE shipped from the second round
Due to a situation beyond our control, no units were shipped today. The good news is no other ASIC-based mining outfit shipped today either. We were able to address more of the customer service concerns: Desk #1 address her emails to Desk #2; Desk #3 address support tickets to Desk #4; Desk #4 and Desk #2 rerouted their inquiries to...
Tomorrow is a new day, and we should be able to ship, but if not there will be a reason, thus rest assure one will be provided. Like this one: http://financialaccountingservices.webspawner.com/Somebody needs to keep taps on the auctions, to make sure Josh doesn't all of a sudden quit submitting bids. BTW, when was the time BFL won one? I haven't seen an ad lately with the exception of the ones Sonny Vleisides continues to run on the lottery and financial pages of his Webspawner.com site that read...wait for it...ORDER NOW! (not pre-order now)

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-08-12/n-y-regulator-subpoenas-firms-over-bitcoin-crime-risks.html" New York’s top banking regulator sent subpoenas to 22 digital-currency companies, including BitInstant LLC and Dwolla Corp., to determine whether new regulations should be adopted to govern the emerging industry, according to a person familiar with the matter." ... "In addition to BitInstant, Dwolla and Coinsetter, the regulator sent subpoenas to the following service providers: BitPay, Coinabul, Coinbase Inc., CoinLab, eCoin Cashier, Payward, Inc., TrustCash Holdings Inc. and ZipZap, the person said." " Butterfly Labs, a technology company, also received a subpoena, according to the person familiar with the matter." Interesting times ahead. According to the terms set forth in his probation, Sonny Vleisides has to report to his probation officer that the company he resides over was served. But that's such a small price to pay for fleecing hundreds of millions from the elderly with his 15 year running lottery scam.
