What???  I ain't bid .26 for no 696 shares!  More like 25 shares.

Guess being a high roller gives people the wrong idea, like I just throw BTC around like confetti.

This auction is going well, it has plenty of competing bids.

Maybe I should make a thread for competing offers?   

I hear DeadTerra has some ASICMINER he'd like to liquidate andale pronto...if not imma snipe this mofo.   Cool

Kirchner slaps a price freeze on supermarkets to curb inflation when she has the central bank running presses 24/7 churning out money, like the new 100 peso note.
What planet do politicians come from??

Bitcoin needs a killer smart-phone app for it, so it can more easily step into the breach when a country is being devastated by hyperinflation.


LOL Kirchner.  What a ridiculous person.

I'm sure she'd try to implement price controls on Bitcoin too, were she capable of understand what they are.

Not one to usually root for Her Majesty, I nevertheless get all reactionary when this Marxist twat starts sabre rattling over the Falklands.

I'd love the SBS to put her makeup-caked head on a pike in Port Stanley.  The islanders deserve at least that much for the FUD she's caused them.

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America


We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Just because you choose to not exercise your right, and shirk your duty, to alter or abolish despotism doesn't mean others won't take up the slack.

I'm sure you two hate the law breaking whistleblowers behind ClimateGate for ruining the tyrannical Global Warming scam too, right?   Cheesy

And for people outside the US: What is Fedwire?

Fedwire is extremely important to billions of people outside the US.  Regardless of astronomically ignorant assumptions to the contrary.

And although they should, most Americans don't know what Fedwire is either.

Exclusive: The Fed's $600 Billion Stealth Bailout Of Foreign Banks Continues At The Expense Of The Domestic Economy, Or Explaining Where All The QE2 Money Went

Courtesy of the recently declassified Fed discount window documents, we now know that the biggest beneficiaries of the Fed's generosity during the peak of the credit crisis were foreign banks, among which Belgium's Dexia was the most troubled, and thus most lent to, bank. Having been thus exposed, many speculated that going forward the US central bank would primarily focus its "rescue" efforts on US banks, not US-based (or local branches) of foreign (read European) banks: after all that's what the ECB is for, while the Fed's role is to stimulate US employment and to keep US inflation modest. And furthermore, should the ECB need to bail out its banks, it could simply do what the Fed does, and monetize debt, thus boosting its assets, while concurrently expanding its excess reserves thus generating fungible capital which would go to European banks.

Wrong. Below we present that not only has the Fed's bailout of foreign banks not terminated with the drop in discount window borrowings or the unwind of the Primary Dealer Credit Facility, but that the only beneficiary of the reserves generated were US-based branches of foreign banks (which in turn turned around and funnelled the cash back to their domestic branches), a shocking finding which explains not only why US banks have been unwilling and, far more importantly, unable to lend out these reserves, but that anyone retaining hopes that with the end of QE2 the reserves that hypothetically had been accumulated at US banks would be flipped to purchase Treasurys, has been dead wrong, therefore making the case for QE3 a done deal. In summary, instead of doing everything in its power to stimulate reserve, and thus cash, accumulation at domestic (US) banks which would in turn encourage lending to US borrowers, the Fed has been conducting yet another stealthy foreign bank rescue operation, which rerouted $600 billion in capital from potential borrowers to insolvent foreign financial institutions in the past 7 months. QE2 was nothing more (or less) than another European bank rescue operation!

For those who can't wait for the punchline, here it is. Below we chart the total cash holdings of Foreign-related banks in the US

BITBOND update and request for feedback

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=141139.0

The plan going forward

Through several sleepless nights, we have managed to pull together enough funds and to purchase 10 x Avalon ASIC units in batch 2.  This will provide about 660 GH/s.  It is far from the 1.5 TH/s we hoped to have with the BFL mini rig, but the Avalon ASICs have been proven to exist and work.  We should also receive them much sooner than putting in a BFL order now.

I am suggesting creating a new security on Cryptostocks called BITBOND ASIC.  All current BITBOND bonds will be exchanged 1:2 for BITBOND ASIC.  The new bonds will be 2.25 Mh/s each, payable at 100% PPS.  Thus, if you have 10 BITBOND, which provides 20 Mh/s at 105% PPS, through the exchange you will receive 50 Mh/s at 100% PPS.

It looks like you're only using the default two threads per device.

Try lowering intensity to 6 and increasing threads to 3.

That keeps more work queued up and the GPUs constantly busy.

EDIT:  Don't lower intensity, 7 is perfect that MHPS range.  Just add another thread.

Why was neither Avalon or WalletBit's site was taken down when it became obvious that the entire event had turned into a fiasco?

If it was BFL, somebody might suggest that

1) Avalon is having trouble with Batch 1.
2) Avalon needs funds from Batch 2 for fixing the problems with Batch 1.
and best of all
3) The FUBAR situation today is a convenient cover story to buy Avalon time and give them an excuse for not shipping or accepting more orders.

That's what I figured.  Lame.

The only way I could have gotten some ASICMINER would have been to use GBLSE and go through all the associated drama/FUD/waiting.  Double Lame.

How are things going? I see you were working on selling ASICMINER shares. Have you done that yet?

There is currently no way to trade ASICMINER yet.

You can do an informal trade facilitated by the ASICMINER team as friedcat (IIRC) said he will honor shares traded between people.
The bids I received were to low for me to sell them, so I decided to keep them for now until there's a open market or we start getting dividends Smiley
//DeaDTerra
What was the average bid? I think us shareholders should have some input.
The highest bid I received was at 0.15 BTC.
I thought this was insufficient.
//DeaDTerra

Thank goodness you didn't sell our ASICMINER cheap.  You are a genius!!!

If you want to settle my GBF account, I'd be happy to accept some of those shares in lieu of BTC.   Grin
