The fact that he is associated with that magazine has lost it many potential subscriptions.

Less than 5 hours left.

"Accusations" made purely of quoting his own words? How do you "prove someone" who was just quoting you wrong? I knew he was incredibly ignorant and delusional, but I didn't realize he was this stupid.

Yoshu, when you did your calculations, did you decrease the amount your machines were making every ~12 days by ~10% ? Are you aware that if ASICs are delivered in the next month, as promised by BFL, that difficulty will start increasing by 400% every few days until your GPUs are making less than electricity costs? It's not invalid to bet against them, I just hope you're aware that that's what you're doing.

Not surprised to see that this jackass can't even keep his own lies straight. The answer would be "the dimension YOU were posting from when YOU said that."
But I only see what you guys quote; maybe he's corrected his schizophrenic raving by now.

I see you have still not replied to my request to provide evidence for your last dubious statement about Bitfloor's operation. At this stage, coupled with the further misleading statements you've just made, it looks to me like you're trying to start a smear campaign.

That's one option. I think I took a better one.

Fast courteous replies, fast service, excellent to deal with. If only every Bitcoin business was run this well. Looking forward to many more great experiences!

You just proved every detractor right. Don't let the door hit you on the way out!

I didn't see Roman post that he was using his personal account. My deposits were made to a business account. Care to link the post?

Weren't you banned? Why don't you take responsibility for your actions and stop trying to circumvent the ban?

I'm sorry, what's that? I'm sure it was important and insightful, maybe post it again.

I can't speak for everyone here (although the trolls and idiots were probably never customers to begin with) but a wholehearted +5 from my corner.

Just to be clear, I don't mean that in any kind of negative way. This thread alone was more interesting than any Ludlum book I've read.

Bruno, I would like to work on some hacker/spy thriller fiction with you.

You know, when you're done with this.

It's not that there's "no money." It's that there is a FIXED amount of money and it gets split up by power. Read the thread already posted about how much ASICs equipment has already been pre-ordered. That's only people who made their orders public (which I wouldn't have done) so multiply that by at least 10 (reasonable) or even 5 (very conservative) for a minimum of the amount of power that's going to get added to the network if and when BFL delivers...and if they don't, someone else will. And that's just the beginning. 100TH is nowhere near the ceiling.

A lot of people have come onto this forum and made the same basic mistake you've made. You run a few numbers based on what your returns would be if you could start instantly and no one else changed their behavior. So don't take this personally...it's been beaten to death. Your assumptions are not only wrong, they're wildly off, and if you're in a "desperate" situation, you are making a very unwise gamble. We're just trying to help.

I've been mining for close to 18 months now. I put a large personal investment in and have been watching all these developments closely. I am absolutely getting out of the game when GPU mining is not profitable. Hats off to everyone who continues...I hope you did it for the right reasons (distributed security for the network) and not to get rich or even make a living. Unlike GPU mining, there is very little technical barrier and also not nearly as much of a logistics barrier to running ASICs rigs....for most users it's probably going to be an unwinnable arms race.

The only saving grace for miners is an increase in the price. And higher difficulty doesn't directly raise the price...it might have a slight effect but not much. It seems that a lot of people who want to make money by jumping into mining seem to miss this point: if you're -counting- on a price increase to keep your mining operation viable, you can make a much safer bet by just buying Bitcoin directly. If the price -doesn't- go up you can at least recover some if not all of your buy-in.

Not as stupid as your "connections"....do you know how many people went on Bruce's show? Why don't you let the adults talk newb/sockie?

And both ate food. And breathed air. And wore pants. Any other nonsensical bullshit you want to throw out there?

Excellent point. Bitfloor  has been very good to it's customers. Lowest fees, very easy to use, excellent (and personalized) customer service. No shady "account locking." No information extortion.

How can we help?
1) If you have funds there, be patient. We gave gox forever and a day, and they were making WAY more than Bitfloor. (quadruple the fees on a 10x-100x the volume)
2) Offer to invest in Bitfloor.

Roman, if you're reading this: This thread is clearly not the place to discuss it, but if you're willing to accept investment, that seems like the best way your user base can help you recover ASAP.

I'm not a big enough player to make much of a dent, but I would be willing to invest. It seems like you should start some kind of discussion on going forward with this, if you're considering it.

I also think you should let your accountholders with USD withdraw immediately before any other steps are taken.

Best wishes.

Charlie's also been on the show. He is also located close to Bruce. Are you going to say BitInstant also deserves to share whatever shady reputation Bruce has?
Give me a fucking break. They're in NYC and they're involved in Bitcoin. The fact that they're in the same area of a densely populated city doesn't equate to conspiracy.
