First, there was Sonny K., missing since Sonny Vleisides appeared onto the scene. Now, Ninja Lady, last time referenced to by Josh. I'd love to just send out the first batch with your new manufacturing equipment, but the PnP machine we are getting is a newer model than our PnP expert (Ninja lady, if you're wondering) is familiar with, so we want to get the first batch done from the current place while we gear up and start cranking out our stuff. We are changing only one step at a time to identify any problem areas we might encounter in the manufacturing process.
Since the ASICs are all new products, sharing essentially none of the components, boards, anything from the FPGAs, we have to be pretty stringent and careful on every single step.
I always assumed that Ninja Lady worked at an outsourced facility due to the fact of the image of her working at her workstation. But, it's clearly shown above that she's one of the 22 original employees at BFL. I wonder if Luke or Kano, or anybody else who visited the BFL plant saw her. There's a bunch of strange things going on at BFL. Could the following be the reason why, for I've seen pics of a red-nosed clown?  BTW, Josh. Have BitPay update BFL's address on their site: https://bitpay.com/featured-merchants |

While the official Monumental Asshole badge is being designed, use this one:
The badge will be a crypto-badge with its own block chain, right? That of course means we would need some assholes to mine the badges. I mean people have to work for their badges, you can't just pull them out of ... wherever. So, what you're saying is that my idea of diving for them, like for apples, is a bad idea?  |

<feel free to jive in w/yours>
While growing up in Indiana on my grandfather's farm, he would take a loaf of the cheapest white bread available and toast it in the oven. Somehow this practice gave it a better taste than with a toaster.
We would butter (not oleo) the toast and dip it in our coffee, devouring the entire loaf for breakfast. Then, we would both tackle a crossword puzzle.
That was my reward after tending to the chickens, ducks and pigs (no goats). Afterward, I attended the wood pile to split logs for the coming winter, still months away.
Try doing any of the above with an xBox in the home today.
BTW, there was no plumbing. An outhouse was used when nature called, and a hand pump was our only source of water. Luckily, the water table was only a few feet deep, where pounding a sand point to a mere sixteen feet below grade for crystal clear, and fresh tasting water was sufficient.
Later in the day, I would walk two miles to the small town store and purchase a 6oz Coke for a nickle. To this day, I've yet to experience that same taste from those tiny bottles.

You have taken the first step:  While the official Monumental Asshole badge is being designed, use this one:  This one is mine:  Look what I found!:  |

I have to conclude that you people didn't read what I posted or understand what mining does so I'll post the important part alone. I don't usually like doing that because it positions peoples ideas out of context.
Here it is: "since they are enabling transactions for a profit."
It's not the reward that he's talking about. It's relaying transactions which do involve exchange for fiat.
I don't think anyone will argue that Bitcoin is not used in just the USA so you all can stop parroting that over and over. However, the lead dev and, in fact, many of the devs live in the USA. BitInstant and quite a few other big businesses are based in the USA. So, for the sake of argument, let's pretend that we give a shit about how the legal system in the USA is reacting toward Bitcoin. Thank you.
I suppose that would be like saying the mailman is a money transmitter for carrying my checks to the utility company. You can try to interpret what FINCen is trying to say, but they haven't done a very good job of elaborating yet. There isn't any practical way to hold miners accountable for their accounting, so unless they want to be heavy handed and make an example out of someone as seems to be the practice of our land of laws, I wouldn't worry about it. I have an idea. Let's turn the tables on FINCen. Since they have such a difficult time elaborating, let's help them. Besides, it's inevitable, so let's accelerate the process. The TBF could sit down side-by-side with them drafting what needs to be drafted, allowing FINCen to take it to any direction they desire. Once completed, we'll know exactly what we have to do on our part. |

The Headline is the Topic and the link shows the relevant. Did you even read the article?
I'm about to read it. Hope it ain't about the demographics of Bitcoin now being 100% white because the shine have left after the spotlight was shone. |

99% Fraud as viewed through the eyes of the majority. Stop defending these son's of bitches and their half ass way of doing business and the other half ass way of scamming people. I'm gathering info and going to wreck them on bitcoinscammers.comI actually agree with you for once. The thing is, if BFL becomes tagged, there isn't a problem of lower ad revenue, maybe they'll even get more donations. It's a problem of a chain reaction, BFL might just vanish, and with millions of dollars. And if they do have the resources to make the ASICs or even have them at the moment, we could be looking at a serious attack (maybe not a 51% on Bitcoin, but they could give a pool the power to 51%). Hell, if they're millionaires, they don't care about Bitcoin anymore. They can a) destroy it or b) take all the Bitcoins, both of which won't be good. If that's the case, then BFL is blackmailing the entire Bitcoin community. This calls for drastic action. Have tire iron, will travel. The plan is to stick in the gears of the windmill outside their facility. That'll slow 'em down. |

How about we stop spamming this thread with this shit, and save space for our alts that actually have a future.
I think you meant to stop spamming this forum with this shit. Now, we have two posts off-topic in this epic bottle cap thread.  |

This has fixed a lot of the latency issues we were experiencing with the early firmware and what held up production on some of the 60 GH/s units. Finally, some good news. The return of the 60 GH/s. Would somebody be so kind as to point out which one of the units depicted on this page is said unit?: https://products.butterflylabs.com/Thought not. I contend that Josh has officially lost his fuckin' mind. How could the guy in charge of production not be aware that the 60 GH/s miner has been discontinued? Maybe it was a typo. With the current firmware, we are seeing between 260w to 280w per 60 GH/s unit, or 4.3w - 4.6w per GH at the wall on 120v. Twice! Also, for only $43,000, one can get a 1000 GH/s, of which is only a $13,000 increase from the last time I saw the unit priced. Maybe that's to cover the FCC certification fees. Or maybe it's to buy a tombstone for Sonny K.'s grave. Or maybe it's to help cover the 1000 BTC guarantee that HE owes (not the BFL one). Unit used to be 1,500 Gh/s for $30k, not 1,000 Gh/s! I stand corrected. Make that $65,500 for the same hashing power originally priced not too long ago for $30,000, a 115% increase. |

The video mentions that it is a felony in California for a business to raise money without registering with the SEC. So are all Bitcoin stocks illegal in California?  I had the same thought. Especially now since fincen considers bitcoin a 'virtual currency'. Bitcoin is not considered money by the state of California (at least in regard to money transmission): 2003 (n) "Money" means a medium of exchange that is authorized or
adopted by the United States or a foreign government. The term
includes a monetary unit of account established by an
intergovernmental organization or by agreement between two or more
governments.
I wonder how California will feel about a Condom Exchange. Only 21M Condoms will ever be allowed to be exchanged. Currently, 10 Cm = $1.04 on the black market (or OTC). I thought Bitcoin100 was a good idea but you've really cum a long way with your ideas now Bruno. lol Are you trying to infect this thread with a Trojan? That would be hard to do but this thread might get stickied. When that happens, meet me at the Hampton. I'll be the guy vainly standing, holding court with a circle of friends. This would be the perfect time to post that pic of you wearing the red dress. I can't remember what thread it was in or I would do it for you.  You mean the one where I look like Rassah's aunt?  Or me starting a tribe?  |

Domains: We'll like to renewal the domain Paysey.com for the next 5-10 years. So, you don't even have 50 bucks to do this yourself? We plan to make BitCoin bigger and more popular by bringing them to the physical world. May I ask what world BitCoin resides in now? Did you even do the math prior to listing the perks? 1,000 X 10 = 10,000 100 X 20 = 2,000 25 X 100 = 2,500 10,000 + 2,000 + 2,500 = $14,500 Looks to me like you're trying to get $10,500 worth of donations without offering any perks. That's a mighty uphill climb, wouldn't you say? In closing, besides the English, the Math, your age, thus lack of experience, and your approach sucks, I think you have a pretty good idea there. Too bad that's all it'll ever be--an idea. |

The rare times I get it, I eat burnt toast. You can even dip it in coffee to add flavor. Probably no butter. It worked for me each time.
The above is not BS, the carbon that is the "burnt" in burnt toast acts as a base to help neutralize the acid in your stomach and esophagus. FYI, TUMS are made from a type of chalk (a type of rock), which is also a base and helps to do the same. When I was young and had an upset stomach, my grandfather would take ashes out of the wood stove and mix it in milk. Also worked. |

You're baking a pie in a really slow oven?
Yes! But only half a pie. Only 4 more days. |
