The video is still at the prototype stage, but I have touched it and it's mine. Meanwhile, here's a video of Luke rewarding himself after receiving the first ASIC-based mining rig from BFL. WARNING: DO NOT BE HOLDING A GLASS OF LIQUID WHILE WATCHING THE VIDEO!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdRCXrr-XHoOR CUP! Apologies for being unambiguous. |

hi matthew
Hi, rockso. Now, about that 10 BTC bounty you've yet to award. Did I win? Should could use the $1,470 USD (or whatever it is) about now. Need to buy some more rotten smelly naily lead painted (strike that, thanks to Bitcoinica) barn wood to make up for my loses with InstaWallet. |

Yes, I can honestly deny that. While I was vaguely aware there were bets going on, I don't and still have no reason to care about their terms or outcome. If I were doing it to influence a bet, I would have posted it immediately, instead of as an afterthought 20 minutes after I posted them to my BFL-hosted blog. So you are suggesting that it is pure coincidence that 1) You "received" your device some hours before the bet deadline (during Easter holidays) 2) You decided to write your post at about the deadline time (depending on time zone) 3) You felt the need to use the words "as of yesterday" and post pictures taken by somebody else How convenient! 4) And post the images after midnight EST, thus making the bit TRUE. This fact, and this fact alone, should have been the only proof needed to declare the bet appropriately, yet was brushed aside by coinjedi, declaring a draw. Totally motherfuckin' amazing! From a random contest to illustrate a point: http://www.hpj.com/archives/2009/mar09/mar30/USWheatAssociatesannouncest.cfm Entries postmarked before Aug. 1, should be mailed to Steve Mercer, U.S. Wheat Associates, 3103 10th Street North, Suite 300, Arlington, VA 22201, 202-263-0999. Assuming the best photo, bar none, was mailed in and could have easily won this contest, the submitted photo would not qualify. Why! BECAUSE IT WAS SUBMITTED LATE. Every other aspect of the contest may have been met, but this entry would not qualify. What the fuck is so motherfuckin' unambiguous about this? Speaking of unambiguous, why not a peep from Josh about this since this issue arose? |

Ironically, Steve Spiros lost it right after he discovered that BFL raised their prices and lowered their specs. |

Thanks for that info, can we please get a crime reference number so we can verify that this has been reported to the police. Many people have mentioned this but a yet no response has been given.
This info is not senstive and it will ease some peoples minds.
Indeed. This seems perfectly reasonable and appropriate...unlike calls for information about the attack vectors, internal losses, etc. If such information is not forthcoming it seems rational and appropriate for private individuals to start the ball rolling and this would be a confusing and wasteful exercise if Instawallet or it's umbrella organization has already done so. My losses are minimal and I can walk away, but it sounds like other people are not so lucky. I guess it's safe to assume that since he was online for a while and read everything related to their enterprises, he simply opted to not respond to a fairly simple request: Please give us a police report number. |

Yes. Most people got about half back.
Except for Bruce Wagner who got all his 22,000 coins back--FIRST! |

Stinks if you ask me, I would like to see a crime number published if this was reported as a crime, and as some else has pointed out that is not privy or sensitive information. It would just confirm a police investigation is really taking place

All I did was accept a device I paid for a long time ago.
Trying to make me the bad guy here just discredits you even more, and exposes how your bias is the only basis for your argument.
Did you or did you not show proof of ownership after the deadline of the bet has passed? I'm in reference to the the two images you posted provided by Josh. |

And nary a peep from Team BGL after their recent price increase.
That's how they treat their customer base.
Wow man. Their customer service manager wrote a blog about it on their forums and they have been answering questions there. I would say they are communicating with their customers. Your incorrect statements are astounding. I stand by my statement, for it's you that's mistaken--with all due respect. My statement has yet to be proven false. |

I'm getting tire of seeing goofy looking avatars. Some don't even look like real people.  |

Apologies for posting this thread in the wrong section. I see now that meta is the better option for this sort of thing.
|
|
|

Oh wow, I didn't notice that option exists at all now.
I must say this looks like a too good trolling opportunity to pass up.
e: false alarm it seems this is only granted individually for people with actual authority in their field.
I remember joking about self-moderated threads in off-topic a while back, thinking all the time it was a joke thread. Now I've learnt it's the real deal. Strange! |

I'm not trying to be a dick, Dalkore, but a friend oversee an operation in the Midwest while you live in Seattle doesn't make any sense. Location: Seattle, Washington USA I'm sure there's a myriad of buildings available on the cheap where you're located. Having someone dependable is key. If you set up your infrastructure right with the right people, it could be anywhere. The midwest location was an idea and I am still acquiring the property. Cheap maybe different for us, this is a sweetheart deal. So, it's safe to assume you're picking up the property regardless? I'm in Sandwich, IL, and not asking exactly where the building is located, but approximately how far do you think it's away from my location? Which direction is not important either. Only asking cause I'm curious and wanted to increase my post count before I hit the hay and dream about (insert farm animal(s) here). |

I know some good engineers - let's do it!  See! You're already fuckin' up. BFL has some good engineers. What we need are bad ones--bad to the bone. |

Are you people OK with being cuckoo ?
They toss a prototype around like dough and say they deliver pizza
So that's what the reflow oven was purchased for. |

As BFL is upping their price, Avalon have already, and BTC value has risen?
Or, would it simply be "too hard" for a new party to catch up?
Plenty of room! In fact, a perfect business model would be to do exactly opposite of what BFL did and is currently doing. |

copumpkin's last post should be informative enough.
I found that I wasted time here that I could better spend pushing my mining capacity and otherwise pursuing commercial interests.
Thanks. I changed it from yellow to red, and while I was at it, I changed MNW from pink to green. |
