We will continue to poll manufacturers who blatantly disregard the GPL on cgminer and if they do not abide then I will personally be sending you the DMCA takedown notice instead of acting myself.
As a fellow developer and EFF donator, I thank you very much for that. |

I have to say, its been pretty sad watching anybody above newbie status take this seriously. If you are gullible enough to fall for this garbage, how did you possibly save up enough money to buy even 1 bitcoin, or even possess the intellect to understand bitcoin?
Hope and greed truly are blinders.
Looks like there's no limit to people's idiocy :/ This is an almost harmless stupid stunt, but there are plenty of scams they fall for too. |

Am I missing something?
If you have to load them via wire transfer, then you're not anonymous any more, unless the account you use to load them is also anonymous. But in that case, you would likely already have an anonymous card anyway.
So... what's the point?

I doubt anyone took It seriously
Actually, many gullible people did. I'm really puzzled what might be the OP's agenda. |

This argument makes no sense.
They did pay less, since the absolute BTC value is currently irrelevant, what matters is its value compared to the other currencies.
Then go find it and make your stand there. It doesn't exist because we live in the real world, not in a fairy tale in someone's head. BTC value floats, so nobody in his right mind bases prices on it. You know who else has a set BTC price? mpex. You know who had it, and once they realised it was foolish they changed idea? The Bitcoin Foundation. |

Would you buy a few meals for 50 btc? Because that's how much it cost back then. If you say no, then you're indirectly seeing the value of btc as dollars  BadBear, would you want to buy a pizza for 10000 BTC? Just pick your restaurant, send me the BTC, and I'll provide the rest. No? Why not? The exchange rate is irrelevant, you said. |

Sad to see. For some, the only value of a bitcoin is how many dollars they can get for it. Until I will have a wage with a fixed BTC price and a mortgage with a fixed BTC price then yes, obviously the only price that matters is the relative one. |

highly recommended if you guys if I have 1BTCcapital
do not invest what you can't afford to lose. |

There was some discussion about this a while back and it would not be fair to the people that paid for it long ago.

Why is this thread still going, lol? Obviously OP does not have 100 BTC. Sorry to break it to you guys lol but this thread doesn't need 25 pages.
It's quite useful to populate the ignore list, actually. |

Bumping this
BITMAIN - A couple questions please:
1) Why do you continue to ignore the request by the cgminer developers to release your code as you are morally & legally required to do so under the GPLv3 License Agreement?
2) The cgminer software that you are deploying ILLEGALLY with your software has SEVERE security flaws, including the stratum redirect issue - why are you NOT implementing the latest version to eliminate these issues?
These and other questions have been asked many times by many people across this forum, but you continue to ignore them, refusing to even comment, and by doing so you are not only breaking the law, but you are also demonstrating massive contempt towards the cgminer developers & the Open Source Community as well as creating suspicion as to your reasons/motives within the Bitcoin Community.
Until you decide to capitulate & do the honorable & legally binding - and above all, the RIGHT thing - I and others on this forum will continue to pursue a response/reply to the above questions.
I urge everyone on this forum to do the same, not only out of respect & gratitude to the cgminer developers who have given so much to the Bitcoin community FOR FREE under the GPLv3 Licensing Terms, but also to ensure the security of your own extremely vulnerable mining equipment purchased from Bitmain.
Thank you.
I've left negative feedback in his profile, I urge everyone else to do the same. And not to buy his products, of course. They should be banned altogether, but meanwhile that's a nice start. |

As far as it concerns this project i really like it and i would like to see it happen!
Actually, it's a quite silly "project". "Gief me money, I'll travel the world" makes exactly zero sense. Why should we chose the OP, as opposite to just anyone else, to do such a thing? If there's not a strong answer, then it's just a meaningless begging. Does he have any special skill, knowledge, know-how, contacts, that would help him carrying it successfully? I bet not. |

This is good for them, but I am still out for now, the fact that this was on the table scares me.
Even in Bitcoin there's plenty of people constantly proposing retarded things that would remove fungibility hence destroy the currency itself. But they are just ignored. |

I believe the Chinese culture will just naturally, perhaps insidiously, permeate the rest of the world. Slowly and surely  Not unless they do it by force. Their so-called "state" is a living dystopian nightmare, nobody in his right mind would accept such a thing. |

although AM just started pricing in BTC. this drop will hurt profits a lot, unless prices are rebased.
they produce BTC, it's natural to price them in BTC, actually. |

I think the problem is not bitcoin price rather than bitcoin community that does not support bitcoin projects. Take a look to all crowdfunding sites bitcoin projects have no support. I wish i had more bitcoins i like a lot of projects, you have to give in order to take!
Of course, it's so full of scams who pretend to be legitimate businesses, how can you trust someone who would be risky even if in the regulated fiat world? |

Parlando con i Giapponesi, sì conoscono il Bitcoin, ma nessuno lo usa e dicono che non è per niente famoso da loro. Ma sono estremamente convinti che sia la moneta del futuro, e che alcune aziende stanno guardando con interesse all'introduzione di questa moneta come sistema di pagamento.
No, ti hanno preso in giro, direi. "Put your money where your mouth is": se non ne comprano, non è vero che credono che sia il futuro. Se lo credessero davvero, ne comprerebbero. |

mah si, l'importante e il gesto alla fine siamo noi stessi che stiamo distruggendo il pianeta, dopotutto manco fosse di nostra proprietà. Anche se le mettevano a 1 centesimo io ci sarei andato
No: se ti costa più arrivare lì di quanto ci guadagni, tantovale le butti nel contenitore sotto casa tua. |

The trick is to buy when it is at a very low price compared to what it is paying.
Like with any other security, actually. |
