But but but...didn't Wired report that Bitcoin was "Tired" not long ago?
How can this be???

It turned out selling ASIC pre-orders (*cough* Ponzi *cough*) is a better business model than actually shipping a product? Oh God, this is glorious!  TYVM Avalon, for falling so far behind schedule. That keeps my GPU mining profitable and helps my ASICMINER shares to continue paying absolutely outstanding dividends. It's also nice to see the arrogant "we're not going to ever be tardy like foolish BFL" attitude get smacked down. Talk about having to eat your words...! Please Team Avalon, consider extending your well-deserved vacation into a nice long sabbatical or even early retirement. You have worked so hard and totally deserve to run off to Bora Bora with all those suckers' (oops I mean customers') pre-order money. Stay there for the entire summer, and winter too. You don't need the stress of working in a hot factory, or responding to the mean girls at BTCtalk. If you run low on cash, simply double your prices again and offer a Batch 4. Real soon now? No tech support? Shut up and take my Bitcoins!  Greetings from the Four Seasons, Team Avalon's tropical new HQ. |

Dear Grue, I'm not here to defend the entire edifice of whatever passes for holistic medicine, but nice try at retreating into generalities when your attack on the particular failed spectacularly.  You are aware that many modern doctors incorporate elements of non-western medicine, but you don't care because that fact is inconvenient to the scary FUD associated with holistic medicine with which you are trying to smear colloidal silver. YLFI: guilt by association, congratulations! You are also aware that the oligodynamic effect is neither controversial nor a conspiracy theory many people find highly offensive, yet you still throw out a red herring about '9/11 nutjobs.' How distasteful of you to stand on the graves of the dead in order to defame a well known health product with a very long history of extensive use.  Couldn't you think of a less inflammatory way to make your (rather silly) point? Oh that's right, you are here for no reason other than to start flame wars. Well cupcake, have fun getting trollstomped. How is it an "appeal to emotion" to point out that both colloidal silver and cannabis both have long (1000+ year) histories of safe, effective prior use but are not studied extensively at present due to lack of patent potential? I said you " sound like the anti-medical cannabis police state thugs, whining about how you 'merely demand years of fully insured, prohibitively regulated, ludicrously expensive, double-blind, peer-reviewed, fair trade shade grown studies' to prove what has been common knowledge for 5,000 years," not that you are literally a jackbooted thug. (Asshamster, yes. JBT, no.) Thank you for your oddly persistent interest in Sacred Silver (the first colloidal silver product produced exclusively for the Bitcoin community) and your unabiding desire to participate in a conversation devoted to a product you have no intention of buying or even considering buying. Such devotion is endearing, if a little creepy.  |

Grue, you have very poor reading comprehension skills. If you have to twist the plain language of the text beyond recognition in order to make it, your point is probably BS. EG, Dr. Strengler refers not only to his own practice, but " other holistic doctors" as well. Keep struggling cupcake. Your anti-science, pro-FDA jihad against colloidal silver will surely earn you a place in Rabid Fundamentalist Skeptic heaven (plus a dozen virgin Donna Shalalas).  "Marijuana has no recognized medical value. It is not medicine, no matter how many cancer patients' lives it saves. Marijuana will not cause the munchies until an RTC proves it does.
Colloidal silver is the devil. Keep using patented antibiotics until all pathogens develop resistance to them. Because profit. Ask Grue, my fellow hater of freedom, for details." You sound *EXACTLY* like the anti-medical cannabis police state thugs, whining about how you 'merely demand years of fully insured, prohibitively regulated, ludicrously expensive, double-blind, peer-reviewed, fair trade shade grown studies' to prove what has been common knowledge for 5,000 years. Both of you are fully aware there is no incentive for a company to fund such studies, because colloidal silver and cannabis are not patentable, but that doesn't stop you two from making the demand regardless. Why? Because you are both asshamsters. Thank you for your continued interest in Sacred Silver, the first colloidal silver produced exclusively for the Bitcoin community. |

Why is it weird for water with a tiny trace of metal to have a slight metallic taste? That seems like an obvious consequence, and normal for anyone with a discerning palate. Also, space weather does actually make a large difference on the color/production of metal colloids. Solar events have a strong influence in terms of slowing the process of making a colloid, primarily because it causes increased oxidation, which occurs especially when the sun is sending lots of high energy phenomena our way. I know, I know. The whole 'electric universe' thesis is crazy talk. Whoever heard of so-called 'solar wind' or 'belts' of so-called 'plasma' surrounding so-called 'planets?' As if so-called 'silver' would ever interact with so-called 'electromagnetic radiation' in any meaningful way whatsoever! What's next, some kind of crazy device that uses 'photosensitive' silver film to capture images, in some sort of unheard-of contraption called a 'photograph?" Move the goalposts as far down field as necessary to protect your narrow, fragile, FDA statist thug-approved view of the world. The fact remains that Albert Searle, who founded the drug company that later evolved into Merck, performed a great deal of research on colloidal silver and its benefits against infection. As Warren Jefferson notes in the book Colloidal Silver Today, Searle wrote that colloidal silver has “…the advantage of being rapidly fatal to the parasites—both bacterial and otherwise— without any toxic action on the host.” Searle also believed it was useful for tonsillitis, conjunctivitis, impetigo, leg ulcerations, eczema, dysentery and boils.
No one is quite sure how silver kills pathogenic bacteria. It is possible that it inhibits the enzymes microbes depend on for survival. Some researchers believe that microbes naturally attract particles suspended in the colloidal silver, and the accumulation of these particles causes their death. Still other scientists hypothesize that silver interferes with bacterial reproduction, disrupts their membranes and inhibits the functions within the cells. It also may boost the body’s own immune defenses, making them more potent in destroying invading microbes.
Mark Stengler, in his book The Natural Physician’s Healing Therapies, writes that he uses colloidal silver for the internal and external treatment of acute infections. He also uses it as an antifungal and antiparasitic agent, giving it to patients internally for infections of the digestive tract. Other holistic doctors, he says, use colloidal silver for the long-term treatment of Lyme disease. |

Dear Suckrim, Thank you for your continued fixation on Sacred Silver, the first colloidal silver produced exclusively for the Bitcoin community. I'm pleased to help alleviate the unnecessary fear, uncertainty, and doubt you have been experiencing with regard to this product. Sacred Silver's quality control is done using a temperature-compensating Hanna Instruments TDS meter calibrated with Hanna's own calibration fluid. For more details (which you will undoubtedly gainsay, nitpick, and otherwise accuse of misrepresentation and/or insufficiency) see the manufacture's product page here: http://www.hannainst.com/usa/prods2.cfm?id=003003&ProdCode=PrimoWhile not ideal or extremely precise, such instruments have been used with success for many years, despite their shortcomings versus costly testing in specialized laboratories. TDS stands for Total Dissolved Solids. This meter is often used by the water industry to measure the level of minerals in water, however it gives a relatively accurate reading of colloidal silver ppm. The only way to obtain a true parts per million (ppm) measurement of a collodial silver sample is to send it out to a lab equipped to analyse the CS. That can be time consuming and very expensive. Most producers of CS are now rating their ppm with a TDS meter and adding the nomenclature "TDS" after the ppm number. For example, 10 ppm TDS, means 10 ppm as measured with a TDS meter. For our purposes, it's more than accurate enough. It takes all the guess work out of trying to figure how concentrated your CS solution is. Every point in the universe has electrical fields present. To minimize the impact of these fields, Sacred Silver is made after midnight, in a professionally cleaned spare room with no other electronic equipment present. As to the claim that the oligodynamic effect only applies to ions, please be more thorough in your reading and comprehension before making such wildly inaccurate, easily prevented/corrected claims, which can be refuted merely by posting the part of the article you ignored. Silver nanoparticles, obtained by irradiating a silver nitrate solution with an electron beam, are effective bactericides, destroying gram-negative species immune to conventional antibacterial agents.[6] [6]http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/05/100524101339.htm
May 25, 2010 — Writing in the International Journal of Nanoparticles, Rani Pattabi and colleagues at Mangalore University, explain how blasting silver nitrate solution with an electron beam can generate nanoparticles that are more effective at killing all kinds of bacteria, including gram-negative species that are not harmed by conventional antibacterial agents. I'm sorry the common practice of using double-spacing for enhanced legibility has such a outsized negative effect on you. Perhaps you should see an eye doctor, or consult a structural engineer who can help you build a bridge and get over it.  |

just curious...what does this stuff taste like?
10PPM (barely over the taste threshold) is too low a concentration to make much difference. A fresh batch tastes like distilled water. After a few weeks it has a very slight metallic flavor that many people won't even notice. |

Dear Suckrim, Thank you for your intense fixation on Sacred Silver, the first colloidal silver produced exclusively for the Bitcoin community. This product is produced using a commercially available CS generator with a sterling reputation, many satisfied customers, and years of success in its market. Please take the time and make the effort to understand the oligodynamic effect (which educated people realize has nothing to do with homeopathy) explained here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligodynamic_effectGaining knowledge of this important phenomenon will help you see why your previous catty/snotty/ignorant/disgusting remark about flies eating shit has zero applicability to the OP. Every environment is "potentially unhygenic" but we all understand your desire is not to engage in an intellectually honest, productive discussion, but rather to thread crap and declare victory. Every ingredient is likewise "potentially contaminated" but we all understand your desire is not to engage in an intellectually honest, productive discussion, but rather to thread crap and declare victory. Demanding I prove these two negatives (a logical impossibility) offers you a cheap but cheesy means, which you are not above utilizing, to accomplish that shameful goal. I appreciate your one valid contribution to this thread, pointing out "Hanna" is misspelled in the OP (which I've corrected). If I were to post pictures of the Hanna Instruments TDS meter being calibrated and displaying the stated 10PPM, to where would you then move your hateful, nitpicking goalposts of FUD?  Your ad hominem attack on Tecshare, blaming him for being the reason "why free markets can and will never work" makes no sense at all (and is overwrought drama-queen hysteria). Free markets can always and will always work, unless distorted by regulatory interference and statist coercion to an extent inducing artificial shortages. Colloidal silver is effective against many pathogens, but unfortunately cannot cure you of being a screeching banshee lacking even rudimentary scientific or logical ability. |

Taken internally, colloidal silver can be used to fight infection. It has been shown to be effective against more that 650 disease-causing organisms, including Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria and the fungus Candida albicans"
Prescription for Nutritional Healing (2010) Dr. James Balch Grue fancies himself a Rational Skeptic Supreme, but sadly has fallen into the extremist clutches of the Anti-Woo Jihahist mindset. They become what they hate, IE nutjobs, through the wonders of convergent morphology.  It's not entirely his fault, Dawkins and company have been diligently spreading the virulent Fundamentalist Atheist meme for some time. Grue's merely parroting their spiel. I'd like Grue to stop making a fool of himself and admit that 1. the 2006 Czech study was not done in the "early 20th century" 2. scientific studies done in the early 20th century do not become invalid or outdated until contrary evidence emerges 3. consuming 10 parts per million silver in distilled water is in no way comparable to drinking rubbing alcohol, nor does it have a chance in hell of turning anybody blue 4. silver pills used for treatment of gastrointestinal complaints and peptic ulcers were indisputably ingested, not applied topically 5. recent revelations about the role pathogens play in ulcer formation explains why those pills were so effective 6. protection from "ten times the lethal dose of tetanus or diphtheria toxin" are obviously internal (again NOT TOPICAL) applications 7. changing the subject from colloidal silver to smurfs, snake oil, rubbing alcohol, or soap is a dishonest appeal to emotion and not a rational argument (red herring) |

Hey iCEBREAKER, You should make a video of yourself doing the milk test with your colloidal silver that would be really interesting. You take 2 glasses of milk, put a tablespoon of colloidal silver in one, and nothing in the other, and leave them out of the fridge. one goes bad quick and the other doesn't. guess which one doesn't search "colloidal silver milk test" on youtube! It would be much better to have an unbiased, independent reviewer perform the experiment. If anyone wants to do this "milk test" I'll sell you a bottle for half price (that's less than the cost of shipping). |

No, I actually calculated it wrong. I calculated the buyback using the 1000 shares DMC owns, but not in addition to the 371 I'm using the dividends from to speed the DMC repair effort, but paid DMC dividends from the entire 1371. Its supposed to be 50/50, but I buy shares over time as prices fluctuate. What you claim as quarter of cash is closer to 1/8th and it was sitting on Bitfunder waiting for the order to be fulfilled, so it was still being used on buyback.
The actual difference should be 1000 shares worth of dividends buy back, 1371 shares worth of dividends paid as dividends.
Are you saying that, as you buy back DMC shares, 11 shares of DMC will be worth more than 1 AM share? Or does the buy-back and extra 371 only effect dividends? |

They earn BTC, but they are also priced in BTC to start with. Therefore if BTC doubles in value, then both their earning and price already implicitly double in USD value, hence preserving the value proposition of the shares. There are no economic reasons for their numerical BTC value to further increase on top of that change. ASICMINER's (the company) expenses and debts are denominated in fiat, not btc. As btc appreciates vs fiat, ASICMINER Inc.'s relative operating costs go down, their profit margin goes up, and dividends increase accordingly. This is the exact same reason why in a bull market gold mining companies eventually outperform gold. |

Thanks for the date LB. Nice to see NVC doing so well, especially since it's the newest coin on the market. |

So who gets the home devices? DeadTerra? Will they be mined for the benefit of shareholders?
 I get one because it was, like my idea and stuff. The other one is put up for auction at BitMit. And I get half. |

Also, why didn't .7's large block problem show up on testnet?
I suspect because nobody was testing for this problem. Client testing needs to be radically improved if bitcoin is going to be a success. agreed. unfortunately it's kinda difficult. i mean, as someone involved in the testing of bitcoin, i have one pc, with one OS. the tests i can do are limited. Really? You can't emulate testnets-in-a-VM and try ranges of values for different parameters to see what breaks? |
