if a group sell doesnt work could go for individual - your are asking near double their face value atm and 2 of them are duplicates - someone might buy the ones they need at that premium but most likely not ones that would be duplicates to their own collection.

Those distrustful people can shut up with the PRO series  Cheesy

I just ordered a set of the PRO series - should be here on Monday. Outside of the Blocks - I should then have one of all the wallets they have done - with exception of the Ravencoin one - I saw it on kickstarter - still not sure if they ever actually did it though. But if they did, then I dont have that one either.


You will be impressed by the pro series....and they did make the ravencoin ones. Wink







well then the raven one would be the only one they made that I dont have - I think. I will have to find a list of them - or maybe make a list.

I agree - there are great claims about how many are using these altered firmwares and to date I think I have seen only one screenshot of a firmware that found a block but it was also not open source code - a violation of the GPL --- so there is always something it seems.

 Hi everyone!!!...with what went on in my last auction I know lots of people were dissapointed about not being able to get one of these sets due to the craziness of the auction.

 Well..I was dissapointed as well. So I went out of my way and bought a set from Selassie so I can offer to all those people that missed out on getting a set.

 The starting bid is much lower than what I paid for the set, thus I will be taking a loss if someone snatches it at that price. And that is OK.

 This will make up for my last auction. I am not looking to make a profit here....but to give back to all in the community who want this set as badly as I would if I were in your shoes.

this is awesome! I also was offered to buy it but could not afford it, so I have an idea of what you paid - so that makes this a very awesome gesture. Good luck to those that bid and congrats to whoever wins!

I cannot figure out how to get it to work on my pi - so i brought it to the windows pc and this is what I get:




This is my first moonlander so not sure what the issue is.

Looks like something is wrong.
Is the stick brand new or you bought second hand?
Have you done any pot (voltage) adjustments?
Are you using powered USB hub?


or try this to check if miner is OK
Quote
Put "-D 2>log.txt" at the end of the bat command. Start it up and it will spit out the log.txt file in same directory.
In there you will see startup sequence and it checks for number of active cores. Should say 64.
(it was posted earlier by jstefanop)

sorry - I forgot to come back and post, it is working fine now. I had it placed in the usb port at the top of the tower - there was a portable drive in the second usb - once I removed the portable drive, the moonlander2 started working fine.

It has been running for about 6-7 hours and has earned 0.00002206 on litecoinpool.org

I am trying to find the best solo pool for one of these and then I am going to move it to a solo pool

LOL. You guys realize I don’t run the shop right? All I do is set the prices in USD.

Troll on!

yes you have said that.  At the end of the day - if the items are priced in USD - then the site should clearly state that - so far, the only one stating it is the one who also says they dont have anything to do with the site.

setting the prices sounds an awful lot like having something to do with it.


I have had good interaction and trades with OG and had zero issues - I don't think at any time anyone's funds are at risk - I think that the confusion that comes from situations that the other two went thru though causes animosity and angst among us.

I also think there are easy ways to fix/resolve some of these things. One of them would be to fix the site - and if you don't run it, then talk to who does.

6034  Economy / Collectibles / Re: Nastyshop on: July 31, 2020, 03:07:48 PM
Yeah so I reread the thread, and I think I figured out why I'm confused. OGNasty puts a $ value into a ticker and it updates the price in BTC. It was someone else who claimed the whole, 10% increase in BTC price you made money on the refund statement. Lines are getting crossed here.

I did go back and re-read the other thread - and yes it was FFrankie that said the 10% thing not OG --- though that again is not the point of my thread here. I will be making noted edits on my posts where I had that part wrong. But as I look back, I only said that today.


My thread is simply about the fact/claim that everything is priced in USD -- they are priced in BTC --- if he is editing on the side because of USD value of BTC, it is still priced in BTC, just a higher/lower amount of BTC based on his evaluation of what BTC is worth at whatever time he changes it.  That is not based on USD.
6035  Economy / Collectibles / Re: Nastyshop on: July 31, 2020, 02:27:16 PM
I am not saying he needs to do it that way ---- He says that is the WAY IT IS and those of us that say it is not that way are wrong.

he made it out that by refunding them the same amount of BTC that they paid, that he in fact OVERPAID them as the prices are based in USD not BTC.

edit OG did not state this, FFrankie did, and in another thread.


what I am saying is that the prices should not be based in USD because first, the site does not express that, second that would screw up refunds as it would change the BTC amounts EVERY refund and third, because we are not paying a USD price, we visually see a BTC price and we Pay that BTC price.

I really think you are getting confused here.

I have never said that he needs to make it tie to USD - not sure why you keep saying that I said he does.


Again - to make it very simple

OG states everything is priced in BTC and anyone that says/thinks otherwise is ignorant/wrong.


Everything that has happened makes it appear quite to the contrary of his above statement - end of story.


Not sure why you are making it to be more complex than that.


edit - maybe my example of Bitmain confused you - Bitmain actually did that to me, I paid one amount in BTC - when they refunded me, they paid me less Bitcoin because the value in USD had gone up so they felt they owed me less Bitcoin.

I agree that if you pay in Bitcoin and the transaction gets voided, then you should receive the same amount in Bitcoin that you paid.  If something is truly tied to USD though, that will not happen, thus his statement is wrong.

Besides - no where on the site does it state that - whether it does it behind the scenes or not (which it doesn't do automatically because the price didn't change for weeks) is not the point.  If he is going to claim that, then the site needs to say it. Plain and simple.

I can create a new btc address and put couple of btc there.. you really think anyone can break it??

Hundreds  of programs/bots there to identify btc addresses with their balances, not a big deal..

No offense against bobby, but that’s the reality..

I think his point is that even with the private key you cannot take it because of the pass phrase. but I would think that for someone to have the private key, they would have the wallet and thus the bip38 pass phase as well.

This is to demonstrate the protection you have from rouge employees or malware at Ballet. Because the private key and passphrase are generated and engraved in separate geographical locations no single employee has enough information to compromise these wallets.


correct. the safety of his process. if someone steals our ballet crypto wallet it wont matter.
6037  Economy / Collectibles / Re: Nastyshop on: July 31, 2020, 01:24:01 PM
I had madiak scam me out of 1 btc a loong time ago when btc was 200-250. After years of nagging him to pay me back, even tho it was 1 btc. He did not give me 1 btc. I got between 200-250 and I was so happy with that

that is not relevant to this thread - but I am glad you got your refund after years.
6038  Economy / Collectibles / Re: Nastyshop on: July 31, 2020, 03:54:55 AM
again - it does not say cash value and that is the issue. If it said cash value, yes. If it was how it is now, no.

Yeah, it doesn't seem like there is actually any problem.
yes there is

he states that everything is priced in USD but it is not. people that paid in btc were refunded the same amount of btc that they paid not the USD equivalent - that means it is not USD based.

the site needs to be clear - he cant claim one and do the  other and then insult anyone that says anything about it
6039  Economy / Collectibles / Re: Nastyshop on: July 31, 2020, 03:44:28 AM
the only post i saw of yours was talking about my refund - i didnt have a refund as i  didnt purchase - my point is how it is listed, yes because it can affect a refund. and that is my point. Your statement was about me getting a refund. so yes, you missed the point the first time.

Let me pose a question then. Had you purchased a coin, and bitcoin doubled in value between your purchase and when you got a refund. Since it said cash basis, would you have been happy receiving half of your BTC back? That is generally one of the easiest ways to get labeled as a scammer. A handful of people have tried pulling that and its never gone well for them.

again - it does not say cash value and that is the issue. If it said cash value, yes. If it was how it is now, no.
6040  Economy / Collectibles / Re: Nastyshop on: July 31, 2020, 03:32:14 AM
Righto, I was mixing info from multiple threads. So that makes it easier because I potentially empathized with people who may have needed to fight for a refund for whatever reason.  Who cares if the site states the USD price? If you go to place an order and they're using an exchange rate you don't like, don't buy it. If the ticker was stuck, using an exchange rate you don't like, or whatever else, you could have not bought it and moved on, or requested an updated total, etc. How is it any different from having a sales thread where you say you're selling a camera for $700 and then when someone decides to take you up on it, you look up the BTC price and give them a BTC address and total? There was a thread where OGNasty said they were selling a coin for $1750, so they converted that to BTC and posted it on the site. OGnasty may have used an autoupdating ticker, or maybe done it manually? Regardless, the solution to your problem was pretty minor.




you have missed the point.

in the big picture what it is priced in can and often will affect how you get refunded. Take bitmain for example, you pay them 2600 in btc for a miner based on the exchange at that moment because they price it in USD not btc - they convert it yes. If you get a refund, which is rare - but I did get once - and even though I paid in bitcoin, and was refunded in bitcoin, the amount I got back was based on USD value of bitcoin at that time.

so whether something is priced in btc or usd matters when there has to be conversions.

No, I didn't miss the point at all, I actually posted about that first, but was told that wasn't a concern. People would rightfully crucify OGNasty if they did what you say Bitmain does.

the only post i saw of yours was talking about my refund - i didnt have a refund as i  didnt purchase - my point is how it is listed, yes because it can affect a refund. and that is my point - how the listing is made is the issue, not a specific refund. Your statement was about me getting a refund. so yes, you missed the point the first time.
