Well guys, seems like the news ( http://thegenesisblock.com/significant-merchant-improvements-planned-for-bitcoin-v0-9/) brings excellent tidings for recurring payments! When i read this today, i realized i should come here and post as in effect this thread can be marked "solved"! :-) The core devs are awesome and i cant wait to see this new messaging system start to be put to use... Even if it relies on central signed certs for vendors to demonstrate some degree of legitimacy, its a good pragmatic, real world engineering decision which after some thought sounds like the right choice to me. No vaporware- service providers already know how to buy and manage certificates for https, so this eases the learning curve to get solutions implemented. Huzzah! great news, thanks for posting |

terrahash support refund request sent: check
Paypal item not received refund initiated: check
personalized email to amir requesting refund: check
I really do hope they succeed, but it's not going to be on my dollar with the lack of respect they are showing to us the community, logging in and not coming forth and saying anything... complete bullshit, stop hiding under your desk, be a man and tell us what is going on in a reasonable time frame.

I couldn't resist... I bought 4 more today at ~$73.00
and now it is 67.88 Your point being that it is lower? I sure as shit don't have a crystal ball and neither do you, what we are looking at is a buying opportunity. If we see 50, 40, 30, 20 or 80 I will pick some up at those levels as well. Don't own much stock or trade any forex do you? |

Would you be able to make 10 of these coins each with .1 on them instead of .01? and print 100 mBTC on them and such. If so what would be your shipped price for the lot?
Hey KingofSports, I answered you in pm but I'll put this out here too. The next set will be done as soon as I get back home (next week sometime). They will be 0.05 btc (50 mBTC) denomination and there will be 48 of them total like the first set. I'll make a new post when they are finished. I will take 10 please, same shipping info as before. Let me know when you are ready to open purchasing. |

Been a little busy lately but I wanted to reply,
Serp is great to work with, very professional and fast shipping.
I ordered them via PM on June 26th, They shipped out on the 27th via USPS first class mail delivered on July 1st.
The coins themselves are light as is to be expected for being aluminum and all but overall they are very nice.
Congrats serp, keep up the good work, please let me know when you have more in stock, I will be buying more for my twin 10 year olds.
If anybody wants pics, let me know and I will post some on this thread.
Happy Friday!

I am really on the fence about canceling, half of me says to be patient the other half is screaming to get my refund started now before it may be to late. Their communications since prior to the pre-sale untill now is unsettling at best, a giant red flag at worst. I do not feel that there is malice here on TH's part but their lack of communication and professionalism is telling. I only have 3 K16's on order for $750.00, I could put that money to use elsewhere and buy 10+ btc's at today's < $70.00 rate, maybe buy some more KnC group buy shares but I really wanted to diversify. I will probably hang on the fence here for a couple more days and chime in when I make a decision, good luck to all. Edit/disclosure/not relevant but thought I would share: I bought 4 BTC today via coinbase @ $73.8275  |

11:41 am Jul 5, 2013 A Q&A with Bitcoin Backer Tyler Winklevoss http://blogs.wsj.com/moneybeat/2013/07/05/a-qa-with-bitcoin-backer-tyler-winklevoss/Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, the twins best known for their role in the history of Facebook, have had their fair share of headlines this week. The reason, of course, is their plan to come to market with an exchange-traded product giving investors exposure to Bitcoin, a virtual currency that exists outside the realms of governments and central banks.
They filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a public listing of the Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust with a proposed valuation of $20m.
The value of the Bitcoin market has fluctuated in recent months but is currently valued at around $1bn. The Winklevoss twins say they own about 1% of the total Bitcoin stock.
There are risks, there is more than a little intrigue.
Tyler Winklevoss discussed the trust, its target market and potential future projects with sister title Financial News.
Financial News: Who is your target market? Who will buy this type of exchange-traded fund and why?
Tyler Winklevoss: Anyone who can’t get exposure to Bitcoin — such as pension funds —- or anyone who doesn’t want to go through the hassle of buying or physically storing it, such as mainstream retail investors. The best metaphor is to compare it to gold. How many people actually directly buy and hold gold bars? The gold ETCs [exchange-traded commodities] made it possible for investors to do that indirectly.
FN: Will the SEC approve this and when?
TW: It’s the first-ever digital math-based asset ETP [exchange-traded product], so it represents a whole new frontier. We haven’t talked with the SEC yet, but we think that, in this situation, they are likely to have more questions than they might for something that’s been done before.
FN: Who will be the lead market makers and authorized participants?
TW: It’s too early to say, but it is likely to be the usual suspects of banks, broker dealers and market makers.
FN: Who will trade the ETF?
TW: When the time comes, we will consider the benefits of the NYSE, Nasdaq and other exchanges.
FN: Who will prove there is liquidity and there is inventory backing the ETF?
TW: We think that there will be demand for frictionless exposure to Bitcoin and hopefully this demand will translate to authorized participants.
FN: How will you prove that the holdings are secure?
TW: We will provide more information regarding our security system and vaulting in an amendment to our registration statement. We have put substantial time into the issue and have developed new mechanisms for security and storage and have submitted a patent application for them. The onus will fall on us to explain eloquently why the Bitcoin in our trust is secure.
FN: You have 18 pages of risk factors associated with this offering. Are you already addressing investor concerns?
TW: We want to be incredibly transparent and allow people to know exactly what they’re getting into. That means putting the risks of both Bitcoin and the trust structure out there for people to read themselves.
FN: Are you planning to address that ‘lost key’ issue? [There is no password reset mechanism for the Bitcoin network. The risk factors warn that “the loss or destruction of a private key required to access a Bitcoin may be irreversible”.]
TW: The lost key mirrors the idea of losing your wallet in the middle of the night. The security system we’ve developed will address that issue and limit that risk.
FN: Are you worried that the US might legislate against Bitcoin? For example, by declaring that it is illegal for companies to process payments with a known Bitcoin agent?
TW: It doesn’t look like any regulator is trying to outlaw Bitcoin. They are looking to bring healthy and reasonable regulation, which I’m in favor of. Regulation can help bring Bitcoin into the mainstream without taking away the characteristics which attract people to it.
FN: How is Bitcoin Trust different from Exante? [a Bitcoin hedge fund run out of Malta]
TW: The trust is very different from Exante because Exante is a hedge fund and won’t be listed or regulated by the SEC. You can’t invest in Exante through an e-trade account. We want the trust to be the first Bitcoin exchange-traded product available to investors in the public market. Buying a share of the trust should be as easy as buying a share of common stock of any publicly listed company.”
FN: What’s the next project?
TW: We try to identify great entrepreneurs in young companies. Our focus has shifted to entrants in the Bitcoin space, but that doesn’t exclude other sectors. There is still a lot to come in the Bitcoin space, so I wouldn’t be surprised if our next investment or thing had a lot to do with it. Our best way of sourcing deals is through our real-life social network of friends, investors and entrepreneurs.

I am curious. Did you receive the BTC's yet? Reports have came in that CoinBase takes up to 7 days for a BTC BUY ORDER transaction to finally hit the account. Has your came in yet? When did you make the buy order? and when did you receive it? just recieved my coinbase purchase of 4 btc, what do you think I should spend it on?
rules are, no porn or gambling type ideas, ready.... go!
yes i have, it typically takes 3-5 bank business days due to ach from your bank to theirs whereupon they then realease the coins to you for you to do with as you please. edit: btw i recently achieved full verification with them and now have 50btc buy and sell per day access. |

Same here. If there is no response from terrahash by next week I will also cancel. (Knc accepts paypal also and their new mars project is just within my budget.)
got a link for mars? I assume he means Mercury: https://www.kncminer.com/products/mercurythe did have a fpga based unit called mars at one point, i thought they had updated their site with new info about a lower cost miner, that is < $1000 |

just some of my favorites,
end of usual suspects: Verbal Kint starts walking regular, we all realize he is Keyser Söze.
closing credits of contact: the words "for carl" appear in black and white.
closing credits of higher learning: the word "unlearn" appears in black and white, which then becomes my personal mantra for life.
