This gives me the happy

Can you have SebastianJu confirm you purchased from his group buy.

Also, what was the date of the group buy?

Thank you

Ok - I dropped her down to 34BTC's
That is a great deal for this fun ride

Our pool is called HugPuddle, but HugPuggle has a funky ring to it too
Our site is merely the mining page at the moment.
http://108.161.129.247:9332
You can both view your miner here and direct your miner here.
We have a web page in the works We are just alpha-test-tuning right meow.
When we go beta we plan to start a formal thread and release the web page 



Right on And indeed, p2p pool has had its hiccups, but we have been running smooth since the 13.2 upgrade, along with our virtual server syncing/tuning. We are excited about the work forrestv and the thread [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=18313.0] have been doing.  We decided that the open-source p2p nature of this work best fit our vision at HugPuddle





And I hate to admit it - but we got soooo excited when ASICminer came out with the USB asic that we bought one for 2BTC (about 200usd) to yes, "play with."  Reason went out the door! Had to have one
Boys and their toys!  Hahahaha 
But glad we have it - It is the only asic we have to Alpha test HugPuddle at the moment

Thus we are VERY excited to receive our Terrahash equipment!
We hope Avalon ships soon

Bump

My friend and I are creating an Asic friendly virtual server P2P pool mining site - HugPuddle.
We are currently conducting Alpha testing.
Here is the link 108.161.129.247:9332
To mine, you use your BTC wallet public key as your -u and anything for your -p. There isn't a login.
We are striving for low latency and low orphans. So far so good. Our curve gets better everyday.
We will be using our 50 gigs on this site No fees for us, and low fees for you - 98% is yours.
1% to HugPuddle - 1% to the P2P Pool open-source developers.
Our unique angle is our virtual server with additional load-bearing features so there will be no downtime and maximum hashing at all times.
Like I said - we are finishing up Alpha testing and you are free to Beta test it with whatever BTC hashing power you have, be it GPU's or Asics.  We want to make sure it can handle all types.
We currently have GPU and USB ASICminers on it
A more formal website is in the works

In response to the Thailand Bitcoin fiasco discussion...
It was only the bank making a recommendation that Bitcoin be illegal - they have NO legal authority to make laws.
Here is a good article that explains it:
https://btcglobal.net/blog/post/bitcoin-is-not-illegal-in-thailand

It appears the Avalon 3 units are shipping
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=203745.720

From the speculation that I have garnered - it may be the case that they are waiting to ship out the bulk of their batch 3 units until they will be sending chips out. There were some very upset people when that first Zefir chip order went out - litigation threats even - I suspect Avalon is choosing to appease their unit buyers first (as they ordered first), and will ship out the rest of the chips soon after that.  We can only hope they do so in mass, or we will be waiting some still.

Beetle with Bitcoins.
Do I need to get a HUGE BTC on the doors or what?

My friend and I are creating an Avalon/Asic friendly Bitcoin mining Pool

We are finishing up Alpha testing and are inviting some early Beta testers.

We are called HugPuddle and give out 98%.
1% goes to HP - 1% goes to the developer of the p2p pool.

We are using a virtual server that is designed to balance load and give optimal performance for Asics and their unique power capabilities.

Point your miners here if you are interested:
108.161.129.247:9332

Use your BTC address as your User Name.
Your password can be anything - there is no login.

Make sure your BTC addy is your User Name or the entire hashrate will go to the pool.

That same URL can be used in the URL box to check on the status of your account - just look for your BTC address

We have Avalon chips on the way and are soon to be thrashing Asics style too.
In the meantime, if anyone wants to try our low cost site please feel free

Thanks for trying us out! PM me for any specific questions - we hope to have our own thread up really soon.

Peace.

Hard to be patient with my LTC's when there are good avalon chips out there to buy... must.... have.... strength.... can by 3 for 1 when LTC hits gox.... maybe..... ack....

My friend and I started a p2pool BTC node and every 65 minutes or so we get about 4 minutes of downtime.
See the graph here:
http://108.161.129.247:9332/static/

What could be causing these downspikes?

Thanks for the great idea/community everyone!

How can you resist this?
And for Bitcoins!
Or Litecoins even!
 

What again was the exact date of the group buy?
Thanks! 

This Minnesota nerd is in.

For Sale! 1973 SuperBeetle


Accepting Bitcoin!
Escrow can be utilized by a trusted agreed upon service.



See more details and pics here:

Note the minor gas leak - that will be fixed prior to sale - it will also have a tune-up.
The engine and transmission are in terrific shape - it was maintained by an airplane mechanic for years.
The interior and exterior are also in good shape - the exterior only needs some minor body work.
It was previously light green - it has been painted red.

This sale is for 28BTC obo for the car, and then the estimated delivery cost within the continental United States. (depends on how far from here you are, it will be at-cost, gas/taxi/bus/amtrak - whatever it takes - estimated 1-4BTC)
Yes, I will drive the Bug to you!!!
You need only be reasonably near a bus location or Amtrak. I will take that back home  



Keep in mind, if you are down south - you can resell this vehicle (with some simple body work first) for a lot more than 5k. They are known to go for 9-10k
Up in the midwest these vehicles just don't get the dollar amount they are worth - we are looking to just convert to some BTC and move on

Thanks for looking  


Edit 7/28 from 55BTC to 53BTC

Edit 7/31 from 53BTCto 44BTC

Edit 8/5 from 44BTC to 34BTC

Edit 8/15 from 34BTC to 28BTC

16@.1 = 1.6BTC

thank you

I want to get more miners assembled - where can I purchase Avalon chips from an early buy?
Thanks for the help!
