Yep, I've been waiting since November 19th, when they said they completed it.

Camp BX has a serious customer service issue.

The do not follow their own policies. They take forever to do anything.

I've gotten money out of BTC-E, which is in another country, faster than CampBX.

Pathetic customer service by CampBX.

I requested an ACH withdrawal from them 3 weeks ago. Still nothing.

CampBX sucks.

The whole "Just buy BTC thing" is a complete fallacy.

When was the last time that buying stuff actually satisfied anybody for more than 3 days?

With mining, you get to generate your own bits and bytes, which then you can buy stuff with, or hold it, or trade it for fiat, or gold, or silver, or pu$$y or whatever.

When you're mining, you're your own central bank. And, best of all, you did not have to be ratified by anybody.

It simply generates money because you told it to generate money, hooked it up to your network, programmed it, whatever.

It simply does not get any better than that.

If we have to pay capital gains, then we should be able to claim investment losses too.

The street runs both ways.

So, if you bought BTC at $1000, and now it's $700, and you bought 5 BTC, you can claim $1500 in loses on your taxes.

Congrats !

I swore I would never do any pre-order type thing again.

It's either in hand for immediate delivery, or I ain't buying.

I'd rather buy it off e-bay than wait for pre-orders.

I've tried using BTC-E as well.

So far, their 72 hr withdrawal guarantee is a joke.

Time will tell.

I'm not impressed with them. They charge huge fees for Paypal transfers, claim they can do it in 72 hrs, but then they don't do it.

Hey Wiz,

I just got TWO payouts  in about 2.5 hours.

While I'm not complaining (given the price of BTC), it seems a little weird.

My little mining cluster is certainly not that ...uberhashable (is that even a word?).

I just wanna make sure nothing is screwed up. Sending you a pm in a sec.

Ditto here. These wonderful people still beat Butterfly Labs by a month, and that is amazing.

As for the rest of the fiasco, well, there was no multi-million dollar startup funds for this, no venture capital, so this was pretty amazing.

It certainly was not perfect, not helped by Avalon and Bitsyncomm, those fucking morons. And not helped by the fact that Bkkcoins got into an accident either.

Well, that is refreshing to hear.

At least they are being truthful, for once.

Time will tell.

How can you order 3 units? I only see an option to order 10 units...

Why is that? Maybe it's been covered already, but this thread is getting pretty long...

I think we should split it into 55nm or greater miners and 55 nm and below.

And maybe have a GPU/CPU forum too for computer stuff.

 

Nothing worth doing is actually ever simple.

It's the complications that make it more fun.

 

Even if you got your stuff late, you should still be doing pretty good.

I only started in late april/may, bought 2 graphics cards, plus my 2 older Nvidia cards. I just totaled up the earnings with just the graphics cards, before I turned them off, when I got block erupters.

The graphics cards generated about 1.5 btc starting in late april. And I did hold on to the BTC. So, they made ROI.
The block erupters that I bought, by the numbers, generated .6 BTC, so, they paid for themselves.

I'm sure I could have made more BTC, had I gotten into the game MUCH earlier, but I figure if I made ROI, lots of other people did too. Gratz to them.

Sorry, did not mean to hijack the thread with ROI discussion.

Back to the spending topic. I disagree, you cannot take it with you. And, if BTC did not probagate by being spent, there would be no network, no need for miners to check blocks, and no BTC adoption by merchants.

So, real believers actually DO spend coin, and promote other people to use them and spend them. Spending breeds acceptance, and thus higher price, higher confidence and over time, more convenience of use.

I think the OP is wrong, at least in my view.

707,408,283.05 is the new difficulty.

Who gets a milliSatoshi as a prize?

Come to think of it, a milliSatoshi now is worth a chunk of change...

I did not know that there was a date when ACH withdrawals would start.

That would explain why they could not do an ACH withdrawal for me on the 19th of Nov. It would have been nice to put that on their website.

They said they "could not find" my bank account number...lulz !

Seems that either CampBX is either incompetent, lazy, stupid, understaffed or a scam.

I tried to do an ACH transfer, entered all my bank account stuff right, but they said they could not find the bank account, which has been open a while.

Now my funds are somewhere in limbo, for their 10 day rule to refund them to my CambBX account.

Seems pretty fishy.

I'm trying to install Bitcoin-qt 8.5 on my Linux Mint 14 mining machine, which has been running stable for weeks on end.

I keep getting database corrupted errors when I download blocks. It gets to about block 74 weeks left then it says database corrupted.

This is very weird, because I just installed it on my Windows machine, and the windows machine completed the download overnight.
I thought Linux was more stable than windows.

In any case, is there a way I can take the block database off the Windows machine and put it on the linux machine? I think I have a big enough flash drive to do it...somewhere...

Thanks.

I hear you there.

But, at the moment, it does feel good to see it over $1000. Gox right now is at $1200...

People called Bitcoin lots of things, now they should sit up and take notice.

New article at CNN.com money, says it can actually be part of a portfolio, although "no more than 1%"....which I think is bs.

Why, because stocks aren't a bubble? lol

All they really have to do is make a second blockchain to get tagged onto the first.

Just like a pointer, which points to a memory location, the last block of the current blockchain can point to the next one.

It could transmit the difficulty rating, and double the number of bitcoins.

I doubt 21 million coins will be sufficient to do a huge amount of commerce with. It will be a decent amount of commerce but not necessarily sufficient.

I doubt it's technically that hard to do.

Today is the day !!

$1000 = 1 BTC.

Guess this is the day the believers were waiting for.
