so what are you saying there can't be another consultant type company? And Kennemarandcole serves a completely different market of IT services, while ORsoc serves hardware. Okay! You win! I thought it was a pretty crazy theory and all, but wanted to toss it out there nonetheless. There's no way in hell that ORSoC could've been aware of Bitcoin and what it incompasses until Kennemar and Coles brought it to their attention. Unless, that is,... http://opencores.org/project,btcminer© copyright 1999-2013 OpenCores.org, equivalent to ORSoC AB, all rights reserved. OpenCores®, registered trademark. Has anybody ever heard of a company called BTCMiner before? Maybe it's a new company that's going to work hand-in-hand with KNCMiner. Any insight will be appreciated. I love this forum!  |

I would doubt Avalon's are UL certified... but I think they enter the country as engineering samples... soooo /shrug
Unfortunately, I have no insight as to what Avalon may, or may not, be required to do to ship such wares to the US. But, BFL being Inc. in the US is a completely different issue, thus a host of regulations they must comply to, the FCC one being the main one. |

Josh: Sonny, sorry calling you so late, but I have an idea.
Sonny: I'm all ears, bud.
Josh: I got the idea from some thread on BT, and I simply modified it. Since people are refunding in droves, we can fire up one of our sockpuppets to payout sixty cents on the dollar, thus you get to keep forty percent, minus my cut of course.
Sonny: Of course! I like it! Do it! By the way, how's the interesting solution to the MiniRig problem coming along?
Josh: Can't talk over the phone because it may be tapped.
Sonny: HeHe!
Josh: HeHe!
Al the Alpaca: (tapping the line) Them boy's ain't right!

This is excellent news! Now they have something to ship to the various labs to obtain CE, UL and FCC approval for, unless Sonny has an in with them folks in not having to abide by governmental regulations, thus avoiding the myriad of fines.
You keep posting this without answering why they need that when the BFL FPGA did not? There are no CE, UL, or FCC tags anywhere on it, yet they shipped plenty of them. As far as I can tell, if it doesn't directly deal with AC, and doesn't directly deal with network, it shouldn't need any of that. Does any custom miner out there now have any of those? Clearly then, any FPGA miner that they shipped was in violation of US law if it didn't at least have an FCC tag in place. Any unit sent to a municipality in the US that requires a UL lag clearly puts them and the customer who received it in violation of the law. Ergo, Sonny Vleisides is clearly breaking the law, coupled with having some of his clients break it as well, depending on which municipality they live in. Circumnavigating CE regulations is a completely different matter altogether. The FCC requirement is a concern of BFL, otherwise they wouldn't have posted that they were in the process of obtaining approval. |

Dragline: Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke: Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand. |

That's racist! And you should feel bad. Or something. What a loser!
You just want a monopoly on posts.  Next thing I'm be called the EA words. So much hate on this forum. So much hate! |

I got an idea! How about a whole bunch of people order from Silk Road via Tor?

Have been in contact with them by the phone today. Seems legit.
They couldn't reveal detailed info about the product or the date because if they say "A" it will spread and if they can't delliver then loads of bs will be floating around on the net( just check BFL threads).
And you can preorder without paying at the moment, when more detailed info about the product will be out(on their homepage) preorders will receive e-mail and will have to pay for their order or loose their place in queue.
Ergo, the concern, hence the trying to stop the scam in its tracks. Do you really think they actually have a cutoff of 500 units? There is no way in hell we would be able to prove such an event. First 500 pays 100% upfront to be in queue. Next 500 pays 50%, then the other 50% prior to 2-3 weeks before shipping. Either way, 1,000 people will be paying 100% prior to a vapor shipping announcement. They can easily tell the first 1,000-2,000 people who sign up that they are of the first 500 people who HAVE to pay 100% as soon as they get an email from them. Where's the accountability that there would ONLY be 500 people offered this option. And, are we talking 500 people or 500 units? The text I read (sorry for not quoting) reads people. If viable, KNCMiner was given ample opportunity to get in front of this before it exploded in their face, but now they seem to taking the stance that they don't want to be in the same position as the BFL threads, but that's exactly what they now have. That said, anymore Newbies care to share with us your positive conversations with KNCMiner? NEXT! |

if you include the wattage of the sun to operate that, it isn't very power friendly Damn, I wish I would've known that before I pre-ordered the Mega.  BTW, does your model heat coffee? |

When is the Jalapeno getting FCC approval?
Maybe two weeks? We are waiting for the test lab to issue the test report. With the bump in power requirements on the MR and the new screen, we had to make changes, although the new screen is already certified. We are doing all the devices at once, since they all share the same board. That quote from Inaba makes me sick to my stomach... BFL are such lying scumbags. And that quote there is the difference between incompetence and "being late" and criminal fraud. This is going to be terrible. When you knowingly lie and that lie causes people harm (which it has since they have lost money), it is fraud. I would say this is pretty provable in court that Josh HAD submitted these devices for FCC approval since the device was only completed 5 months after he made this lie. And any judge would agree with your assessment unless, of course, Judge Coin Jedi is presiding, then all bets are off. |

And even if his statement is true, which is 99.995 unlikely, once the new boards come in, they would all need to be tested again by the FCC according to their website, therefore adding a possible two more weeks to their scheduled delivery date, whenever that is. The same true for CE approval and UL, of which is a given since the power has been greatly altered from the first design, e.g. the adding/deleting of components. |

It sure does apply to BFL's line of miners, hence Josh assuring investors that they're on top of the FCC aspect, but only posting the following after a week of people repeatedly asking about such requirement. Then it was proven that no such devices made their way to any FCC facility, a fact still true to this day. When is the Jalapeno getting FCC approval?

Yeah.... It looks like they will have a bunch to redesign with there power problems if they want to stick to there original chip density... But I wouldn't be surprised if they end up just shipping these signs with maybe half the original chips to deal with the unexpected power issues. Surely the PCB is dirt cheap. So what do you guys think. Will they be able to produce a 15Gh (3 chip) or do you think they will hit the wall at 10Gh

Definitely a scam because of the bet and the shady way Luke-Jr got his ASIC "shipped" right before the bet deadline.
And the proof is the post an hour plus after the deadline, of which coinjedi was kind enough to return all bets due to the bet being unambiguous, thus everybody enjoined the first ever virtual three-prong attack. Time for a smoke, then dinner at Meze Grill. |

I'm almost tempted to open it up, now knowing that its value isn't really that much, thus possibly pursuing its contents, then figuring out how to improve upon the idea via incorporating Bitcoin into the mix.
Anybody want to turn this into a community project?

Are you planning on introducing a round bar of soap with a Bitcoin logo embossed on both sides? Also, I remember decades ago a soap brand had a rattle in it, thus it floated. I'm thinking of some sort of cavity in the middle containing a micro-bitcoin to add to ones collecting after the soap is spent. What you'll end up with is the only bar of soap on the market that has the potential to pay for itself. And listen to this while enjoying the bath: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYuHXaoFMPw |

Has anybody attempted to count how many shots were fired? I'm curious as to many bullets hit the suspect compared to how many will be reported hit him after a thorough investigation. |

you guys realize that all pre-orders back in july had no power specs when originally announced
Ergo, they met them. |
