IMO consolidate BFL threads to mine. It has the most views and I'm fantastic at attention-whoring (they call it 'marketing' in schools) so just keep adding to that and I'll promise to try and get it in Ars Technica / NPR / TheVerge / Forbes all publications I've been quoted in this year https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=136392.0 |

Looks like Zerlan sold shares for a BFL minirig [I know, meta-fail] at .7 btc and bought all back just now at .026 claiming everyone made a huge 100%+ profit and should be super-happy. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=89902.0srsly cannot believe this is a real human. IPO share price is going to be .7 BTC per share, although I am taking some limited orders for pre-IPO at .6 per share at the moment. Preference for pre-IPO shares will be given to current BFLS share holders if there's more demand than available shares.
I have paid out the final payment for BFLS shares, everyone should have received .026 BTC per share.
BFLS and it's derivative are now closed permanently. Server, I'm sorry if this upsets you, but it really is the best thing for everyone going forward and nets a tidy profit for everyone who held shares. Each $600 units worth of shares has paid back $759.2 + whatever it's earned over it's lifetime, which is not an insignificant amount and is > 100% profit on the investment. I think that's pretty good for a little over a year, personally.
WTF, Inaba. We have paid you Bitcoin, not USD. We buy bitcoin earning machines from you, but not a USD debt notes. How can you end the contract without the consensus of the other side. We are supposed to have ASIC mining machines to mine bitcoin for us. I am going to write the SEC official a letter complaining about this. You have issued the securities without registration and now you have scammed the security holders. |

Why Another Pre-Order?I have looked around trying to buy ~$1k worth of a Cointerra machine. I have found some group buys but no one I can 100% trust. Why Can We Trust You?I am pretty well known in the poker and bitcoin world. My name is Bryan Micon and I've been a pro poker player / entrepreneur for about a decade. I've run a forum/podcast since ~2004 [Neverwinpoker.com & DonkDown.com] and made lulz on ESPN in the 2006 WSOP Main Event: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-mBUA-uUDM where I won ~$120k. I am the site pro and affiliate manager for SealsWithClubs and have been since mid-2011. this year I played ~$45k worth of WSOP events and sold %'s of each event. That public spreadsheet is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArSX17d2S9wqdHNfcDgwOERpcHJId0JtWlFvc2c0U2c#gid=0 I also got Zerlan'd at CES this year and blew him up on JoshZerlan.com. IMO if you vet me you can plainly see I fight for good, not evil. How will the btc-collection and Cointerra payment go down?I'm just gauging interest at this point and am open to suggestions / changes. I feel the community can trust me to collect the $14k and fire it at Cointerra as soon as I have it. Because the price for the miner is delimited in USD, I have an idea to set a specific "fire date" where there will be a ~24 hr window to shoot me bitcoins, maybe err slightly on the high side so I won't need to ask for a small amount more per person if the price goes down, and I'll fire the aggregate at Cointerra. We can use whatever price Bitpay has at the time, as Cointerra uses them for btc processing. There may be small refunds. I'll drop a nasty spreadsheet for the entire process. Ok let's say you collect the funds / buy the miner / don't run to Mexico / and Cointerra ships it to you how will it go down then?I'm currently mining a 36x Block Erupter setup into BFGminer running on an old lappy. I live in a house in Las Vegas and power isn't exactly free but it's cheap. 1 of the rooms is my office, and I have a large closet here. Cointerra machine lives there + a few box fans. The site says the sucker should cool itself but IMO blasting it with fans can't hurt. IMO mine it on Slush's pool, as I trust that group the most at this stage. Pay monthly bitcoin disbursements on the 1st of each month. I will deduct a monthly 1-2% fee for electricity / my valuable time [will get it as low as reasonable / spreadsheet will tell all] and will buy at least $1k USD worth of this miner. Please give me your feedback. Right now I'm thinking ~14 shares at $1k each and involve some of my poker buddies that want to fire on mining. If someone wants to take a $1k share and divide it up further that would be cool too. I'm not looking to make an empire here and buy tons of these things, just want to buy and mine one of them as my calculations on December delivery have $14k for 2x Th/s being very +EV, maybe gettign close to paying for itself in January-February 2014. Seems like a fun gamble. Give me a reply if interested / add your thoughts to my loose plan.

wow, first foray into the politics / society forum.
I am 34 or 35 or something and I eat rather healthy these days (drank a coconut / granola + almond milk for breakfast)
but this thread totally makes me want to go get some McNuggets.
fucking weird...

Site possibly downgraded for being popular and unstable software? That is something we never considered but probably should be discussed.. The software provided is similar to playing video games from Attari or Nintendo in the 90's. We highly recommend the software is upgraded to one of many premium poker software's available in the online poker industry. We have sent an email in regards to what is currently available for lease from several top poker organizations.
If you was a poker player who was booted out of the tournament and feel you did you receive a proper credit based on players left and your position please file a complaint and we will go from there.
Not quite sure what this is all about, but maybe some information would be helpful to you and others: -- SwC is involved in a long behind-the-scenes software build -- Best guess is Q1 2014 for launch -- Who did you email? If you'd like shoot me a msg at micon@sealswithclubs.eu / we're always listening to ideas from the community -- the PC client / Android client both are very 2013, maybe like an Xbox 360? (not the new one that is coming out and not the one that comes with the Kinect / Halo bundle. Just the regular 360) |

We are back / was small issue to fix, obviously catastrophic to players.
Refunds have been made for running tourneys based on prizepool / players left. If you feel you didn't get enough back email admin @sealswithclubs
We will always make it right here at SwC

Thanks for the codes however site crashed again during tournament  indeed. different issue likely left over from the move. Team mobilized. Should be quick one, ETA 1 hour. Very sorry. Semi-confirmed not-datacenter and our issue. Seems like a crash of our poker server, should be reasonably quick recovery. Obviously very disappointing for us, but we'll fix this soon, and in a few short months we will have these issues killed completely. |

A few points of business for Sunday 9-1-2013 ♣) Morning w/the Chairman is back after the disconnection strike ended last night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOChr19oFzo♣) The "BIG BTC" is set to pop off at 3pm ET like it does every week. Expecting a crowd today. ♣) Freemoney, Xdev, and the rest of ST6 deserve special recognition for the extremely fast datacenter move last night. Shows what a handful of motivated humans can accomplish when they decide to do something right. #slowclap I'll see you all in lobby chat / in the big btc! |

we are back.
damn that was fast.
top notch work Freemoney / ST6

Emergency Downtime. We have to move, can't have this lag / disconnects anymore.
ETA ~4.5 hrs of downtime, although ST6 is getting really fast at this.
It may take that long, but we were prepared for this, just moved it sooner because of the terrible performance today, so it will likely be faster. seems like the team has been getting really fast at this. science be with you. IMO while waiting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kCyPj6ZFTA |

My 2x Satoshi's
1) Lets not beat around the bush, the OP is basically stating "there are endless BFL-bashing threads and we can't legit talk hardware" [agreed]
2) IMO this is a symptom of allowing BFL to continue to advertise when much of the community has been swindled by them. Having Josh Zerlan hurling insults towards victims in one thread then buying advertising to dupe unstudied users in another is causing widely distributed rage.

When do you plan to fix diconnects problem? Now i get disconnected like every few minutes, really bad.
clearly our #1 problem today. the team is on it. We know the source of the issue and we are doing our best to mitigate it until a permanent fix is applied. |

Oh, I agree. That "Sanity Check" is important. I forgot to do one recently, thinking it was just 0.33 BTC and boom, I sent coins to the wrong address. It has been corrected though.
This means, however, that whoever controls the wallet is doing it, is awake. Does he get enough sleep? Or are there more than one person who has the site wallet?
JD operates the same way, dooglus himself does the withdrawals, so ...
I think what happens is you put them in a queue, they are lined up, then you do it in batches every 12 hours or less.
The only thing better is someone who doesn't sleep. But then he might go insane and fail the "Sanity Check".
I'm sure you can understand we can't reveal too much about our process, but I feel certain points i.e. human-checked cashouts are important to explain to our players and to discourage prospective scammers (most will try anyway so we have to do this) Here is a bit of free equity to anyone that wants to fire off an FFF: FFF-ETRSRFS1E!S FFF-F12RTFAEART FFF-!SATS21RFAT |
