In order for me to keep my pre-orders Josh is making me do the following:

  • Apologize Publicly for calling Josh and BFL liars
  • Admit "Werner" is a sock puppet account uner my control
  • Apologize for using "Werner" to troll him

Therefore, in the best interest of Cognitive, the people who have purchased pre-orders from me, and myself:

Dear Inaba and BFL:

     Sorry for calling you liars. Werner is a sock puppet account under my control. Sorry for utilizing said account to "troll" you.

                                         With regret,
                                                     Garr255


Also, I apologize to all who I may have put at risk by speculating that BFL may have been acting in a dishonest fashion. If I had known that the cancellation of orders placed by me would result of this I would not have acted in such a way, as that would be a direct violation of the fiduciary duty imposed on me by handling others' assets.
Blackmail - BFL Approved.

I would be infuriated if I was told I was first in the queue and then saw 'my' product in someone elses hands. Surely this deserves an apology. 

I hope you receive your units soon Garr.

Even I have to side with BFL and call BS on the apology request.

If BFL apologized for everything worthy of an apology they wouldn't get any work done.
Yeah they're sure doing a bang up job getting their product assembled and shipped. Maybe at this rate if Josh doesnt have to take too much time out of his busy schedule of screaming profanitys at customers they'll have 10% of their units shipped by 2014

This just keeps getting better

Yeah its amazing that this is the CEO/COO/Guy who gets arrested, thats why he is having so much anal to prepare. The face of BFL
Josh/Inaba is clearly the fall guy. Everyone else associated with this mess is too busy moving their money overseas and planning their departure.

Nowhere on the site that I can find does it say it actually mines bitcoins.  The site says a lot of things, but it does not say that. 

You may end up getting exactly what you ordered.  I'm not sure what Bit Mining is, but I'm sure I can produce a $75 device from my closet that does 4,000 MH/s mining bits of one sort of another.





Ya, but can you deliver it in less than 8 months?

Sure, send me $75 and I'll send you something that mines bits at 4 GH/s today (well, tomorrow, Monday the 3rd).



Are we using the same calendar?  Now that is a ship date you can not possibly make... 

Even when joking you set an impossible ship date LOL sorry couldn't resist!!!

Why is that a ship date I can't possibly make?  I assure you with 100% confidence that I can make that ship date.  I'll even do escrow.  You will get a 4 GH/s device that mines bits shipped out tomorrow for $75, assuming you're in the US.  If you are international, you'll have to cover shipping.


Wasnt the 22nd also your "everything" goes wrong date and we'll still ship date? How'd that work out for you?

I'd suggest a good old fashion bitcoin ponzi scheme long term offering.
10  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Kim Dotcom Announces Bitcoin acceptance on Mega! on: February 16, 2013, 11:05:41 PM
And like all things bitcoin you pay a fee for the privilege of using bitcoins.

There are fees for getting in and out of any currency market.
Yeah which means that Mega doesnt really accept bitcoins, they accept USD but allow their reseller to exchange bitcoins for USD seamlessly instead of using an exchange.

Charging process took about 50 minutes (3 blocks for bitcoin transfer + instant selling + waiting for withdrawal to card verificarion).
Truly the currency of the future.
14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Sold my truck for bitcoins on: February 16, 2013, 12:05:27 AM
Ok, it is not all that spectacular since I am selling my truck to my mother but...

I told her that if she is going to buy it she has to pay me in bitcoins.

This is mainly to help her learn how to convert her dollars to bitcoins to help her get her feet wet.

Plus the usefulness of Bitcoin comes into play here. I will be out of the country with no access to a bank. She cannot send me a check. She would have to either go to my bank and deposit into my account or attempt some sort of wire transfer or come up with some other difficult way to pay me (or expensive using PayPal).

why how does your mom have bitcoin?
Are you making her buy the coins off mtgox and then she can buy your car with it
this is your MOM, why! why, would you do this to her Huh



I could care less if other people use Bitcoin. They will eventually, it is just a matter of when will the technology make it as simple as paypal to switch over. Until then, I am content in buying Bitcoin cheap while it still takes a bit of effort to get set up initially.

But I care about my family and want them to benefit as well. If I can show my mom how to get Bitcoin so that after that initial transaction she knows how to easily transfer money from her bank account, then she will be able to do so at her leisure from then on and enjoy the benefits that come along with it.

She used to not understand text messaging on her cell phone (she called it a "tex mex"). Now she is on her iPhone almost constantly.
Yeah, hopefully she too will one day be able to experience the wonderful benefits of:
1) Losing money to obvious ponzi schemes
2) Bitcoin bank "hacks"
3) Paying ridiculous fees for the privilege to use bitcoins
4) Having her internet fun money lose over half its value over night!

You cant buy anything with BTC, it's only valuable because people can cash it out to fiat once the transaction is done with and can pay their rent/buy food, etc

http://pizzaforcoins.com

Enough with this pizza bullshit. Ok we get it you can buy pizza. What are you all fucking diabetics?

Apparently a currency is only worth something if you can buy food with it.
A currency is pretty worthless if you cant buy the basic necessities of life with it.

Correction: A currency is worthless when no one wants it. If people want bitcoin, we'll be able to exchange it for anything, soon enough.

People buy the basics with credit cards every day. There is absolutely no reason we couldn't do that with a credit-card sized electronic bitcoin wallet (already being worked on).
why would your average consumer ever want to use bitcoins? Irreversible charges and 10 minute transaction times along with having to pay the transaction fee are hardly attractive.
