Bitcoinmagazine is not just a site, it is an actual publication that can be subscribed to, and received in the mail.  They actually produce printed issues.  It is slick, and rather well done. 

I would think that anyone interested in "partnering" with you on this would want to know the answer to the questions I have asked.  I am in no way cynical at all.  I am certain that there are many people who have read, or will be reading your post, who will have the exact same questions.  If you can't answer these simple questions, then that is something the readers of your post will also want to know.

I am not spaming at all.  I am just curious as to why you would want to start a magazine that already exists.

Edited to add:
Also, this is your very first post here (at least under this ID).  Why should anyone even consider your proposal as something credible and worthwhile?

In what way would this magazine that you don't have time to run be different than http://bitcoinmagazine.com/?

This is part of what I suggested he try, as well as a couple other things.  Later he said he got it figured out, but he did not say what it was that got it working.

Thanks!

Actually, I think that did it. Thanks. I suggested the buyer try this, and a couple hours later he told me that he got it figured out.  Not sure if he even tried this, but I did suggest it, and it is now working.

Thank you very much for the suggestion.

Can anybody possibly offer me some guidance here please?

I sold 3 Antminer S1s on eBay, and when they left here they were working perfectly.  The 3 units are stacked, one on top of the other.

Photo of the units: http://www.cryptocointips.com/s1s.JPG

The person who received the units is telling me that one of the boards on the middle unit is not powering up.  Supposedly the top unit works fine, and the bottom unit works fine.  But only 1/2 of the middle unit is working.

This is pretty obviously a power problem, but I don't have a unit here to even look at to see if I can suggest something.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

He vanished right around the time everyone realized that not only were we owed the 200+ BTC that were held back, but also the 400+ BTC or more that he was paid for mining when he was not contributing.

I am not sure, but if memory serves me correctly I think Bitmain used to only price their products in BTC, but now the primary price is USD, with BTC in parentheses:
AntMiner S2 1TH/s Miner Batch 4
Price:      2226 USD ( 3.932 BTC )
May this be why?

B.Y.O.B. = Bring your own booze.

Unless we are at the drive-in.  Then it's B.Y.O.B, of course.

Go for the Snow Caps next!

Brucexie,

Here is the deciding factor as far as I am concerned.


When it was discovered that this problem existed with your software/hardware on BTCGuild did you return the BTC that you had been paid, but did not properly earn?


If not, then you are guilty because you have taken BTC that you have admitted to not earning. This is called stealing.

....and quacks like a duck..... :-)

My understanding is that the only reason the issue was corrected was because it was brought to his attention after it had been going on for months.  With as large of an operation as it seems like he runs, if it was not intentional then he would have noticed it much sooner on his own.  This is not a court of law, and If it walks like a duck.....

Do the people in your mining group know that you were involved in this withholding attack?

My hunch is your government is just looking for reasons to shut down larger bitcoin mining operations.  I could be wrong though.

Yeah.  I was just kind of wondering how much trouble it could cause if hundreds of people internationally started contacting his government demanding action to investigate his bitcoin involvement and possible unethical activities.

And how often do people in your country go to jail just because the get attention from the police, or the government authorities due to some negative incident, even though technically there is no proof they did anything wrong?

You still have not answered my one question. How are the conditions in the jails in your country?

Brucexie,


Do you own your mining operation, or are you running it for someone else?


If you own your mining operation then why are you so worried about 200BTC?  It is a very small amount of the total you have mined, and are able to mine.


If you are managing a mining operation for someone else, are they really pisssed off at you for getting caught?

Edited to add:

Something else just crossed my mind, and I just thought I'd put this out there.


The "You can't prove that I did it" defense seems to me like the exact thing someone would come up with while planning such a scheme. 


#1 - I'm not going to get caught.


#2 - If I am caught they can't prove anything.


#3 - If they can't prove that I did it, then I will not get in trouble.


This is why he is sticking to the "you can't prove anything" defense.  This was his logic from the beginning. and he has no other option but to stick with his plan, no matter how weak his defense is.
