What about the next gen machines?!  Of course Neptune and SP30 were both raging disasters with negative ROI.  Only the S3 was an excellent profit machine.  However, all three companies are certainly dialing it all in.  So what will the next round look like? 

Will KnC's 'Pluto' be the killing system?

Will Spondoolies be able to recover from their serious shortcomings to build the SP50?

Will Bitmain continue their dominance of awesome early delivery of on spec machines with a new S4?

How do you see it playing out?

Are the SP50's based on the Pickaxe?  I am definitely going to buy one of those.  When are they going to be announced?  

I wonder if 'Pluto' will be announced first.  What about S4?  This should be a good contest in view of the newest bitcoin mining parameters.  Who will win?

Jesus Christ - at least one guy gets it.  

Who cares about day traders and the price?  I hope the price goes to ZERO!  The price going down doesn't devalue the funds (mostly BTC) held by the foundation.  The foundation only needs to spend those funds on building a fantastic application.  $15,000 spent for Polinex?  wtf?  This brings no value to shareholders.  Polinex listing, a terribly ineffective attempt at increasing liquidity was a waste of money.  Let the day traders go to Dogecoin.  Go build some kick-ass 2.0 application and stop worrying about the price. The trading volume is so thin, the price means nothing.  Real holders of MSC are waiting for a nice application to come.  They don't buy/sell in a market guessing attempt to gain a profit.  

MSC PRICE DOESN'T MATTER.  

Can we find a way to unplug MasterXChange?  This would help tremendously.

This is very funny - however the real use is: Space heater.  I can't wait for winter to come.  I'll be plenty warm this year.

Welcome back from vacation!  I hope it was good.  Now get back to work. 

I have about 2GH (7 X 333MH/s)

Is it now time to unplug my block erupters?  They don't make so much bitcoin anylonger.  Is the electricity too expensive now?  I pay .28 Euros for kW/hr.  I have 7 erupters.

This is true.

This is bullshit.  

When a brute punches a guy in the face - it is a crime against the person (civil) and against society (criminal).  Society has a right to punish the brute for this bad behavior.  As such, these crimes are almost always prosecuted criminally (by the community rather than the individual).

I am glad Klee got his money back.  But as a member of the bitcoin community, I insist that we find this crook and punish him.  Klee can't unilaterally set him free (in exchange for money) to commit more crimes on the community later.  The crime is done and we should find and prosecute the asshole.  By Klee letting him go free, we all suffer when the next attack comes.  

I invite others to join in a continue the search despite Klee's bargain with the crook to not pursue him.  Let's find this dick and bring to him that what he deserves.  

Keep dreaming buddy.  I don't see this happening for several more weeks.  Just like KnC, Spondoolies is giving no hint this is imminent.  Translation: 'not going to happen soon'.

Meanwhile, just run the Bitmain hardware as hard as you can.  It's the only way to stay alive.  SP30 is going down the same rat hole as the Neptune.  Will be junk on arrival.

Last time Spondoolies Tech made a prediction about hash rate, it was off by a mile.  How much will it be short this time?  5.1TH?, 4.9TH?  I wonder.

That we are even talking about the possibility of rollback PROVES NXT is garbage.  Rollback risk must be eliminated.  Stealing is a fair way of getting coins.  Been that way since robbers were shooting at stage coaches and even before. 

If NXT saves BTER, then exchanges have no incentive to deploy high security.  They'll just use weak passwords and let the robbers into the servers all day.  When they are hit, they'll just run to the devs and plead for help. 

NXT is totally finished if a rollback is done.  NXT is already in serious jeopardy just by their devs admitting there might be circumstance under which they'd be willing to 'rollback' a transaction. 

Now, the next party to claim a transaction was 'unfair' will be asking the devs to do another rollback.  Maybe only one worth $.5 million.  Then, $100,000 transactions being contested will be rolled back.  Then transactions of friends will be rolled back.  Where is the line? 

That ANY transaction CAN be rolled back is a serious flaw in NXT.  NXT is probably very dead after this. 

It must be impossible, no matter how compelling the reason, to roll back a blockchain.

Sell NXT.  That dog is dead.

The tradition is derived from the collapse of the Quebec bridge which killed more than 70 people.  Proud Canadian engineers are clearly failures and they memorialize their engineering incompetence by wearing the iron ring.

Like for example, go on vacation with that money?

The funny thing is, my imaginary order is hashing at the exact same rate as your real order.  And mine cost a shitload less than yours!!!! lol

Thank you for the good advice.  However, I am pleased to inform you I already did that test.  Now, my DC is full of Bitmain hashing away.  Meanwhile, all I've got are negative performance reports (70% of spec Hashrate) and shipping delays coming out of Tel Aviv.  
Now, who should shut the fuck up?

No.  208 is fine.  220 is fine.  240 is fine.  You don't need to know which it is.  The power supply will figure it all out for you and work great at any of these inputs.  You just can't expect good performance at 120V, 110V, et cetera.

True enough.  I know for a cold hard fact that those drunken Swedes spend the entire month of August throwing up in the streets of Stockholm.  Nobody is getting a Neptune until after Sept 1.  So, at least Spondoolies has some chance of getting some work done if a rocket doesn't hit them first.  

I ordered my S3s a week ago and they are hashing today.  I ordered my SP30 months ago and they are still not manufactured. 

'Shipping at the same time' - is total bullshit.  Just because you've shipped one SP30 doesn't mean you are shipping at the same time.  You are starting to sound just like KNC.  They are 'shipping' Neptunes too (lol).  Only problem is they've shipped a few and thousands remain on the assembly floor. 

Bitmain kicked your ass.  Simple fact.  The only thing you can do about it is - pick your dumb asses up off the floor, put on a rally and go kick their ass next round.  Stop trying to play matters into the best light.  You lose a great deal of credibility that way.  Either do it - or shut the fuck up. 

I am wondering how I can get my bitcoin address to have a negative value.  Can some of you hackers out there help me figure out a way to reach realize a negative output?  This would be much appreciated.
