Does purchasing pre-assembled units cost extra?

Edit - you're the one who banned memes and introduced that rule as a mod.  The one who objected to post deleting guidelines that I pushed for.  Where's Mabsark when you need him so he can slap a Warning: Trade with extreme caution! on your puss?

Why would I want to do that when everyone knows this horse is dead and buried? I can't believe you guys are even arguing about this rotting carcass still.

Also, FYI, your reference supposedly pointing to me threatening forum users shows no such thing. In fact, it shows precisely the opposite.

I don't wish to see you beaten to a bloody pulp and left for dead just because you think you're an Internet tough guy.

ok, well count me in for one. ill sort the BTC am aware of localbitcoins Smiley

No need to sort the BTC out yet anyway, as we still need 8 more tubes to be sold (I'm in for one too).
904  Economy / Securities / Re: ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It on: August 19, 2014, 04:08:02 PM
Yep, they should.  Even with a pool fee for outsiders of something small like 0.1%, this would begin to offset electrical costs for hosting the servers, etc and of the overall operation.  And its a much smaller fee than most pools, so I'm sure you'd start to see some pull-back from other pools as people switched.  It would also make the AM pool larger, decreasing the variance between blocks (and therefore should add value to the share price in this manner).

I created a poll recently about what method people would prefer AM to use for mining.

The results are currently as follows:

P2P = 36.4%
Solo-mining = 34.5%
Own pool = 29.1%
Already established pool = 0%

Id like to get in on this, however I dont have sufficent BTC in my wallet as yet,

would you consider a UK bank transfer for at least one possibly two?

Im in north wales so would consider paying you a visit to collect Smiley

cheers

monkeynutts

Sorry, BTC only.

For future reference, you can buy bitcoins off Localbitcoins pretty much instantly using a direct bank transfer. You find someone to buy from, the coins get put in escrow, you do a bank transfer to the specified bank account, mark the payment as complete and when the seller sees that the money has gone into their account you get the bitcoins. Whenever I've bought BTC from there, the transaction has never taken more than 20 minutes.
906  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Deckbound: collectible card games based on bitcoin on: August 19, 2014, 03:35:12 PM
I'm a passionate believer in the value of skilled play, and want to offer something that allows gamers and the gaming community a way of building meaningful, persistent collections of digital assets by using Bitcoin as a platform.

Games like this don't rely as much on skill as they do on wealth and luck of the draw. Do you honestly believe that a free player could compete with an Ultra bundle player? You could easily make it fair though by restricting the types of cards allowed so that players are evenly matched. For example, if an ultra bundle player was going up against a free player, the ultra bundle player's cards would be restricted to the same type of cards the free player has - Nomad cards only.
907  Bitcoin / Project Development / Using the blockchain for software update alerts. on: August 19, 2014, 03:14:58 PM
The blockchain could be used to provide software update alerts in a decentralised manner. The software would be coded to check for transactions on a specific address. Each transaction to that address would correspond to a software update. The transaction would be using OP_RETURN followed by a 20 byte torrent infohash for the new update. The software would check the transactions and compare the info hash of the current software (which could be stored in a settings file) with the infohash from the latest transaction. If the infohashes are different then an update is available and the infohash can be used to download the update over bittorrent.

How do you bitcoin developers feel about using the blockchain in such a manner?
908  Bitcoin / Group buys / Re: [OPEN][UK ONLY] Assembled ASICMiner Tube (1.25 BTC) on: August 19, 2014, 02:06:02 PM
They would be shipping from Liverpool and be available for pick up.

The Ethernet controllers cost 0.069 BTC each plus 20% VAT, giving a total of 0.0828 BTC each. So, the price for one full set would be 1.3328 BTC. I think it's better to keep them separate in case anyone wants to buy multiple Tubes.

Updated initial post.
909  Bitcoin / Group buys / [EXPIRED][UK ONLY] Assembled ASICMiner Tube (1.25 BTC) on: August 19, 2014, 03:54:21 AM
This offer has now expired due to lack of interest. The tube can now be ordered pre-assembled and the price for round 2 sales has been reduced.

This group buy is for the UK only. It has 20% added to the cost due to import fees.
This offer does not include an Ethernet controller which will be offered separately as they can be used to control up to 4 Tubes. The Ethernet controllers cost 0.0828 BTC each (including 20% VAT). A link will be posted offering the Ethernet Controllers if there is enough interest.
This offer does not contain any power supply units.
This offer does not include delivery costs which will be arranged by yourself so you can choose the delivery service you like or you can collect them in person.
At least 10 people are required for this group buy to go ahead. If enough interest is shown I will post a payment address.

If you are interested, make a comment containing the number of AM Tubes you would like to purchase.

Cost breakdown:
AM Parts: 0.971 BTC
VAT: 0.1942 BTC
Assembly Fee: 0.0848 BTC
Total: 1.25 BTC

For 1 AM Tube and 1 Ethernet controller, the total cost would be 1.3328 BTC + P&P.
For 4 AM Tubes and 1 Ethernet controller, the total cost would be 5.0828 BTC + P&P.

Specs:
Hash Rate: 800-850GH/s.
Power consumption: ~0.9 J/GH board-wise.
Power Input: 1-2 6pin PCI-E plugs per hashing unit.
Size: 25cm x 12cm x 12cm.
Weight: 5.2kg.

Further product information can be obtained from the ASICMiner Tube Sales thread.

Here's a picture of the assembled miner:


Orders - 2 (minimum of 10 required):

Me - 1
monkeynutts - 1

I don't think this price drop will have any effect on miners at all as I don't believe the price will stay so low for more than a few days, it'll be back to around 600 USD by the end of the week.

The Hero Member is full.Please be waiting for the next round.

So you chose to just skip me?  Seems like the logical thing to do would have been to add me to the list, but just notify me that as you already had 10 Hero+ and that I would be counted as a full...  You would prefer to have more Hero Members... right?  Hence why you pay them more?  So why would you skip over one.

I will leave my signature like this, it is to my benefit to do so, but I question your decision making in skipping me, and picking lower people over me.

I'm in the exact same position and would also be willing to count a full member.

And total dividends so far are ~0.57 btc/share.


0.60289304 BTC/share

based on 0.42334498 BTC from btc-tc between 2013-03-06 20:05 and 2013-07-24 23:52 and 0.17954806 BTC from Havelock between 2013-07-31 and 2014-03-30.

BitFunder had 1 earlier entry than btc-tc but the dividends were 0 for that entry so BF can be ignored completely.

Shy, modest, genuine, hard-working, intelligent.  Needs to work out more and eat better.  Desperately needs a mama cat.  That's friedcat.

Hahahaha.  This is the best part.  

I never really got what they meant by "desperately needs a mama cat"... I mean... is this some cultural thing and got lost in translation or is it just outright odd? Cheesy
He needs a GF....jk probably something lost in translation

No, please FC, don't get a girlfriend! She would take up all his time and he couldn't work all night anymore Grin I'm all for him to become happy, but right now other things are mission critical, around here!

A man doesn't need a girlfriend to be happy, especially when he can afford an army of top class whores to service all his wildest desires. Where do you think our dividends went?  Sad  Kiss  Grin That's where!
917  Economy / Securities / Re: ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It on: August 06, 2014, 02:39:11 PM
Next few weeks will see AM price go back down... $170 is not a realistic price for the security, puts a big valuation on a 1 year old business, especially considering the last few months financial performance...

We don't know the last few months financial performance. If you have such information, share it with the rest of us.

Lophie was saying the same thing last week and sold a load of shares causing the share price to drop to around 0.13 BTC. A couple of days later the share price was back up to 0.3 BTC. He hasn't been heard from since.

Now is just a proper silly time to sell. Mining restarted mid July and divs are set to start getting paid out this month.
918  Economy / Securities / Re: ASICMINER Speculation Thread on: August 04, 2014, 07:51:48 PM
The top 3 asks and the top bid are all from the same bot. Watch it for 2 minutes and pay attention to the timestamps and prices.
919  Economy / Securities / Re: AM Self-mining on: July 31, 2014, 07:15:17 PM
Back to self mining. I see, no one is actually fond of joining an already existing pool. If we had to join a pool, and there was no other way: Which pool should we join in your opinion?

Whatever isn't ghash and has the best financial incentives. I wouldn't really be bothered.
920  Economy / Securities / Re: AM Self-mining on: July 31, 2014, 07:11:58 PM
Protip:  If you would like to keep Bitcoin mining decentralized, don't invest in mining companies.
I have to agree with Lambchop here.

Lambchop is saying that people shouldn't invest in AM. Do you really agree with that or did you just not understand what he was saying?
I agree that if you want mining to be fully decentralized you shouldn't, however I think that if their hashrate is 10% or less there is no real risk. So its a mixture.

Lambchop is basically saying that ASIC miners should not exist, regardless of whether they're used by individuals in a P2Pool or by a corporation solo-mining with 40% on the network hash rate.

AM isn't just building a huge mining operation, well at least they didn't want to. Now it seems they might as well just do exactly that. But effectively, they're producing chips that other mining operations use. So as a chip manufacturer it totally doesn't affect a decentralized system.

What I said in no way implied that selling ASIC miners causes centralisation. I don't know how you got to that from what I said.

What I was saying is that in order for a company to create and sell ASIC miners, it would need investment. Lambchop is saying that nobody should invest in mining companies. Without that investment, mining companies would not exist and neither would ASIC miners.

No investment in mining companies == no ASIC miners.
