Rewriting the quote, we now have...

We are still the largest exchange with ~1 trade every 6 seconds averaging $46.68 trade volume.

We can all now fully appreciate why lag occurs, thanking the Green Distant Star that that overworked server was given a well-deserved rest.

That couldn't possibly be right Tongue

But yeh, you can't really blame them when they're dealing with such massive volume

Remember, the trading platform is separate from the account platform of which is a lighter load with the exception of when a bunch of people are wanting to sign up. If this is not the case, then they have serious problems.

We are still the largest exchange with over 420,000 trades per month and USD $121 million monthly trade volume.

See the problem? Allow me to do the math for you.

420,000 trades per month equates to 14,000 trades per day (calculating 30 days in a month).

<Now, don't get ahead of me!>

14,000 trades per day equates to 583.333333333 trades per hour.

<Front of the class, learn the back of the class that there are 24 hours in a day.>

583.333333333 trades per hour equates to 9.72222222222 trades per minute.

<60 minutes in a hour.>

Who can tell me what whole number 9.72222222222 rounds up to?
You are correct, Sally! 10, and cross your legs, I'm getting excited.

Now comes the tricky part: 10 trades per minute equates to 1 trade every 6 seconds.

<Your homework assignment is to show proof as to why this is true.>

And there you have it, boys and girls, proving that there's not a server in the world that can handle such a tremendous load--1 trade every 6 seconds.

<For extra credit.>

Write a paper on each of the terms written on the blackboard.

Code:
Slippage
Stop Hunting
Arbitrary Account Closures without Valid Reasons
Non-Payment of Trading Profits
Freezing Platforms

Class dismissed. And be careful out there!

great please keep me in the loop. I am on lots of forums & currency trading sites if your product is what you say it is (almost certain its not) then I will help you.. bare in mind 20nm & 14nm FPGAS are on the horizon which might see the end of ASIC processors being made for any kind of computer intensive task...

hey guys, i would like to do a suggestion, could you develep a miner that could run without a computer, just a box that needs a power sock & ehternet and or wifi to work... I don't really need it for home, but i know a lot of people who would like to put a box like that in there work place. for the free energy Smiley just a suggestion

Quote
Kncminer We support the idea of making our devices as small and user friendly as possible so yes we will take that in to consideration

Having said that time to market is critical for us and we will launch our product as soon as possible. We will be removing features that will push back this deadline.

Here's some features that could be removed, for all could be purchased by the end user:

...The fans.
...The power supply.
...The case.

To save on labor, just send the required components in a HeathKit box.

FWIW, I talked to these guys via email and they said more details would be released soon.

Waiting for more details from Sam..

While we wait, I have a few more questions.

Why would you hang a shingle littered with grammatical errors for the whole world to see?

http://www.linkedin.com/company/kennemarandcole-ab?trk=top_nav_home



It only consist of four sentences. Andreas may be Swedish, therefore it would be up to his partner whose versed in the King's English to make sure such simple errors don't stay published. The verbiage on the website is pretty damn tight, thus no excuses. What use is a well-written site if your potential customer base opted not to visit after reading the garbage I've shown above?

If one can't take the time to make sure four simple sentences are as tight as possible, how can we be assured that the same folks won't put in the same effort in building bitcoin miners? I'm not a coder, but I'm pretty sure there's no room for error in the coding of filmware.

Next question: Since you two been mining for a while, why do you not have a Bitcoin-Accepted-Here button on your website?

9727  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: BFL silent these past days? on: April 13, 2013, 05:15:40 AM
Did I read the OP correctly? Is it possible to exchange BFL for Mt Gox in the text, whereupon it would read the same? Here, Josh is espousing the exact beef with Gox as a myriad of others have about BFL, yet he came here and called some of the naysayers cocksuckers.

Madness!

You are about 2 months behind me.   When I first decided I needed a few minirigs or their equivalent in real world machines, I searched and found this (and the thread here where Josh called some critic, WHO WAS TELLING HIM THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH HIS ASIC, a cocksucking fillapino whore???).  Then I found the directTV thing and this bullshido thing that is buried.   Then, I found there seemed to be a large greek connection and saw josh/inaba seemed to have pictures of him in greece.   Then, I just said, there are WAY too many coincidences here to ignore and I started wondering how I could get an avalon for a "friedcat".


Au contraire! I would say you were a few months behind me: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=128532.msg1369133#msg1369133
9730  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: BFL Timeline - illustrated on: April 12, 2013, 09:51:11 PM
LOL! I just realized something while taking a shit after viewing the video. How the heck do they not know what the right hand is doing when they are setting at the same desks, with the principles being only a stone pebble throw away?

I'm still not seeing where they hid the 22 employees they had at the old facility, now at their new location. Even with the newly hired Hispanic temps, one would be hard-pressed to count to 22. Must be something special about that number, for even Mt Gox uses it.

Yep, it's special! I just counted all my barn wood suppliers and amazingly it came to 22. One more supplier, and I'll be a victum of my own success.

You do realize that a person at the front entrance can call out to the back warehouse inquiring how many boxes are on a certain shelf without having to raise his or her voice, don't you?
9731  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: BFL Timeline - illustrated on: April 12, 2013, 08:57:15 PM
At the beginning of the clip, the female narrator states verbatim text from BFL's site:

Quote
Butterfly Labs manufactures a line of high speed encryption processors for use in bitcoin mining, research, telecommunication and security applications.

Can somebody point out to me any frame in that video showcasing anything other than bitcoin miners?

Moreover, you telling me that not a single client of theirs who has ordered research, telecommunication or security application products has one iota problem with their delivery schedule?

I sell barn wood. I can, and have, produced primitive reproductions for the Nashville and Atlanta markets. I can easily produce a limited line of primitive furniture. I can extend that line to include industrial-based barn wood furniture, currently in vogue, but would need to revamp my current facility to do such, let alone producing something I only have vague knowledge of, yet doable. Perhaps, I should just go ahead and do it under the guise of saving the environment, saying the hell with profit.

There is not a Goddamn thing wrong with BFL making a profit with the work they supposedly do. They can rake in the cash, for all I care. But to say at the onset, which they did, that profit is secondary, with security the network being paramount, is disingenuous at best, lying at worse.

Every company is allowed missteps. But, when missteps are publicly seen week after week after week after week (etc.), at some point a breaking point is reached, resulting in legit questions seeking answers.

The video does address many concerns, and sadly raises others. Honestly, I can't see how BFL could be a scam when they clearly are putting in mega man hours, and having mega stock on-hand. The only other answer if this is not a legit entity is that it's a long con.

Thanks for the video, BFL. Please understand where all the naysayers are coming from as hopefully you produce product you claim to be producing.

One more thing, for a 62 year old woman, Jody looks pretty good. Too bad she's probably... (a deal breaker on her part, not mine). (This sentence was meant as a complement, albeit the snide remark which may, or may not, have been appropriate, but it is as it is.)

Now, back to the video to see if there's anything I may have missed prior to somebody else bringing it to attention.

PoSt!
9732  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: BFL Timeline - illustrated on: April 12, 2013, 08:24:27 PM
Yo folks, this is cool and all, but can we get back to bashing BFL please?

Why would we want to do that?!?

Look at this awesome video! These guys are obviously highly trained professionals that ship thousands of mining units a month.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSu5Yyc1bEM

Notice that the eBay props are located at the entrance. Shouldn't production be in the rear? The last time I saw a company showcasing their production in the open was Krispy Kreme between Excalibur and Luxor in Vegas.
9733  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: First BFL ASIC! on: April 12, 2013, 08:14:45 PM
Luke-Jr told me on IRC last night that since BFL offered to ship him his unit, but kindly agreed to keep it in their warehouse and send him pictures instead, that the unit still qualifies as being "shipped" to him. He wished people would stop "slandering" him by saying the unit hadn't shipped. Roll Eyes
Disclaimer: That's not what I actually said.

You made a typo, I'll correct it for you: That's not what I precisely said.
I think I conveyed the gist of your gibbering.

Is it all possible that Luke precisely said Libeling instead of slandering.

And this is why I want a police report number of which you have so conveniently ignored requests of such.

Currently, 2 wallets URL revert back to a static home page with only one wallet showing forms. Upon completing the forms, the page just acts like it's loading for several minutes, not generating another page. I have no idea if this is normal for I'm not that tech-savvy in this area.

Maybe the servers are just overloaded now. I don't want to revert to jumping through the hoops as others described, i.e. copy/paste URL/keys. I desire to do it via a single page like I've already seen, but isn't working at the moment.

You need to remember that most of these guys never had to actually get up off the couch and turn the knob on the TV and probably do not believe that anyone would buy a TV when there are only 11 channels.

Late 70's it was still 2-5-7-9-11-22-32 in Chicago. I'm going to do the following from memory in the same order: CBS-NBC-ABC-WGN-PBS-WBEZ-WFLD. The western reruns we on the weekend mornings.
