801  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: BFL Monarch - Delivery Dates on: June 12, 2014, 03:25:31 AM

After all the BFL threads, and people still order from them...

Unbelievable.



Dude, it's not like it was $7M USD in the past 9 days or something. Oh, wait...

And, this was penned two months plus prior to HashTrade's infamous $1M USD via BTC down payment via BitPay for their multi-million dollar order.

http://www.coindesk.com/bitpay-processes-1-million-bitcoin-order-butterfly-labs/

Quote
“The $1m payment with bitcoin is only a down payment of a much larger institutional order for 28nm product, and is not related to 65nm production,” he added.

Ownby went on to say Butterfly Labs has quadrupled its 65nm production in the last six weeks and has doubled its production staff.

“Funds received for 28nm Monarch products are used for production of our 28nm Monarch cards only. We expect to begin delivery of Monarch cards in December,” he concluded.

Either these guys who were/are in good standing with BFL either got shafted royally since being at the end of the queue, or are happily hashing away for a while now on their Monarchs. Either case is not a pleasant scenario.

Looks like they got another month delay just few days after they start taking orders...

Seeing this makes me regret that I didn't troll him into the ground like I should have after his failed attempt to sell me (and others) some BEs last year.

I've been informed that Matt Carson is bobsag3/borito4. Give me a few so I can confirm this info.

BUMP

It's confirmed.

804  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: MinerTechnologies.com - 3 TH/S and 200MH/S ASM1 for sell / Cloud contracts. on: June 12, 2014, 02:34:30 AM
ok, here is a novel idea that should prove once and for all if Minertechnologies is legit.

1. Let them show the products off at expo's and to individuals.
2. Listen to those third parties and hear what they have seen and what proof they have been able to gather.
3. If someone wants to risk an order, let them, then ask if the hardware was delivered on time and if it works to spec.

If none of the above eventuates then we can assume scam, otherwise this company would have proven themselves to be legit and reliable.

I get that there are a lot of scams but there are also companies and individuals trying to do something legitimately. Of those people there are varying levels of comprehension of the English language, marketing and PR.
I think it's a little counter productive to write off a company or individual BEFORE they have given any reason to have lost any trust in them. By all means if they actually do something (or not do something as it may be) to lose trust then it is warranted.

I for one am watching this closely and choose to wait for the facts to emerge then to throw wild accusations around.
Having just won a 12 month cloud mining contract I will be able to verify that at least they are paying out as they promised so I will post my payouts as they come. I can't help with hardware but it seems there are some who are able to visit and verify the existence of hardware to be supplied.

So lets proceed with caution and healthy scepticism and see how this eventuates.

That said, in my own special way, how do you account for a person living in the UK opting for the American English spelling of words having the ize suffix instead of using ise?

Interview with the Admin of MinerTechnnologies

Hi everyone! If you’re expecting the regular news updates from the online HYIP industry then OK, there’s going to be two updates on MNO today so I’ll be back later on this evening with all of that. To start things off for today however I have something a bit more unusual that may or may not be of interest to some readers, it’s up to you to decide and take it or leave it as you please. Longer term readers will know that occasionally over the years I’ve had interviews with people other than just HYIP admins, running genuine businesses. Programmers, payment processors, script writers, e-currency exchangers, and so on. Today then I have for the first of two updates an interview with the owner of a website called MinerTechnologies.

I’m going to let the owner explain what it’s all about in his own words as I also need to make if clear that MinerTechnologies is NOT verified or endorsed by myself and I have no personal experience using them or their products. What you are about to read, should you continue, is entirely a paid advertising feature and paid for by the website owner who contacted me first asking for it. If you have any further questions or comments about this I would please ask you to direct them at MinerTechnologies and not me, as I am unable to help you. I neither endorse their product or vouch for the service they provide. As is the case with any online business, it’s the duty of the buyer to independently research and evaluate the seller before handing over any money, “caveat emptor” as they say, so just make sure you know what you are doing and who you are doing it with in advance. So let’s hear from MinerTechnologies and see what it’s all about.

1. Hello Jonathan, please introduce yourself to the readers of MNO, and tell us what your job title is. What is your background, what kind of qualifications do you have, and what is your experience?

Hello, my name is Jonathan Barlow and I am the CO of company called MinerTechnologies Limited. We are a company engaged in the sale of mining servers and cloud and mining. All of this began with the observation of the market, which is still a lack of this type of companies.

2. Can you explain to anyone who’s never heard of it before, what exactly is a crypto or e-currency? Give us a brief history of these and tell us how they work. Of what practical use are they really in the day-to-day life of regular people?

Cryptocurrency is a distributed cryptographic accounting system based on cryptography that stores information about the ownership of the contractual undertakings. The ownership is associated with each node of the system (“portfolio”) in such a way that the control of the portfolio had only the holder of the corresponding private key, and it was impossible to double edition of the same entity. It’s better to use e-currencies and cryptocurrencies in the Internet, because it is faster and easier way to pay via Internet with these currencies.

3. More specifically, tell us what is BitCoin. Give us a brief history of their operations and how it can be used. We know there’s probably a limit to what Governments and financial authorities can do to control BitCoin itself, but a lot they can do to regulate the businesses and individual bank accounts that accept it. So is there any real long term future in it?

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency introduced in 2009 by a person ( or group of people ), nicknamed Satoshi Nakamoto. The name also refers to using the open source software, and peer-to -peer, which is molded. Bitcoins can be stored on a personal computer in a file kept in a wallet or operated by third parties outside services involved in the storage of such portfolios. In each of these cases Bitcoins may be sent to another person via the Internet to any holder of Bitcoin address. Each Bitcoin is divided into 100 000 000 smaller units called often “satoshi”.

Unlike in the case of most currencies, Bitcoin doesn’t rely on the trust of the issuer with respect to the central bank. Bitcoin uses a decentralized database, the spread between the nodes of a peer- to-peer storage transactions and cryptography to provide basic security functions, such as making sure that Bitcoins may be issued only once by a person who has at any given time.

4. Explain what BitCoin mining is then. What is it, what does it involve, why does it need to be done, and how do people participate?

Bitcoin Network is a decentralized network that is based on P2P topology, namely the user to the user. There is no central server that would control the correctness of the transaction, because the whole system is based on computing power any user on the network. To perform a transaction, user A gives up ownership bitcoins adding to their user B ‘s public key and signed by its own private key, and then announce their surgery done in P2P networks. Network validates used in the transaction digital signatures and the number of coins in front of her acceptance. Any user that provides the processing power of your computer, through which it is possible to perform the transaction, is winning new bitcoin coins. These coins come from the voluntary commission of transfers made by other users and from the pool of all 21mln coins to be excavated until 2033. In short, ” mining”, or otherwise digging, the generation of new coins to the needs of the entire system, thanks to the computing power of your computer system used to encrypt the transaction. Generated new digital coins can be exchanged for the buck in the stock market or other traditional currency.

5. How can people make money from BitCoin mining? What do they need to do, and how profitable can it be? Isn’t it a relatively small amount of money to earn from what is a very complicated and time consuming process?

For providing the computing power of each user is rewarded with new coins. However, there is nothing for free, the computer that performs calculations working under maximum load and thus draws more current than during normal use. In addition to the amount of generated coins was clearly felt need of many excavators and it involves large investments. For those who have access to free electricity is a great investment usually returns after a few months, those who pay for electricity and have high tariffs should perform calculations for them or is it cost effective. The main criterion is profitability BTC course, but you should note that the rate is variable, and the time of the excavators investment may not yet be profitable but looking at the long term it can quickly turn to.

Difficulty affects the profitability of production which depends on the amount of computing power in the network, the greater the greater difficulty as well. The Bitcoin network can clearly see some trends. The upward trend when increasing the number of miners until the digging will begin to be uneconomical due to the high difficulty was caused by a large number of diggers and a downward trend, which begins at the time of the reduction in the number of miners and thus reduce the difficulty, until the difficulty will be low enough that digging again become very profitable to begin to the next trend. Sometimes you may find that digging is the most cost-effective due to the low rate leaves a significant proportion of the miners and greatly decreases the difficulty, then stored at low cost coins can be sold in the future when the rate goes up, of course, assuming that we are able to take the risk.

6. Tell us now about your website, MinerTechnologies Ltd. What do you do, and what are the products you sell? How much do they cost?

Today we offer our comprehensive solution for the extraction of Bitcoin currency. We are selling Bitcoin mining servers with ASIC chips. Nowadays simple computers, and your graphics cards don’t give results in mining Bitcoin currency. In an era of evolving technology you need to use a robust hardware to start making money on Bitcoin.

7. Can you give us the technical specifications of these products, including the company and country of manufacture, and any independently carried out tests on their safety and efficiency that customers can research before they buy?

“MinerTechnologies offers us cloud mining. All the information you will find here:
http://mining.minertechnologies.com/. We can rent a cloud from 200GH/s for $850 up to 5TH/s for $11999. Each contract is for 12 months and provides us with daily payouts to our Bitcoin address on business days.

We also have the opportunity to contact Customer Service via phone or e-mail. All four mining clouds offer the same service packages. The difference is only in the speed of extraction.”

8. Most electronic products should have an online tech and operation guide. Can we see one for this? Before people would pay that kind of money I would imagine you are interested in making sure they can check this information out in some depth beforehand.

We offer our customers telephone and mail support. We are available 5 days a week, so everyone can call us with problems.

9. So if I’d like to purchase one of these devices, how do I go about it? How do I pay, and what are the delivery arrangements?

11. What is cloud mining? Am I correct in saying this does not involve the sale of a physical product? How does this work? Can we see any see any testimonials from customers that readers can independently verify?

Cloud mining is a type of service that allows you to extract Bitcoins without physical hardware purchasing. We offer such services. More info you will find on mining.minertechnologies.com

12. If you are a legal business entity as you say, why accept an untraceable online payment processor like PerfectMoney which is barred to US customers, but not SolidTrustPay which is licensed and actually much preferred by US customers anyway?

We are doing all to accept as many payment processors as we can, anyone can suggest their preferred e-currencies.

13. What sort of a warranty to you provide customers? Is there an extended guarantee available on the product, and what kind of after sales service do you offer if there’s a breakdown or fault?

Our mining servers have 8 year guaranty.

14. Regarding your business which I see you have based in the UK. As you say VAT is included (sales tax to US readers), I know that you are obligated to provide VAT receipts, particularly to business customers who intend to use BitCoin mining for commercial reasons. Please provide us with your VAT registration details, which I know you are legally obliged to provide your customers. It will give them more confidence in advance of dealing with you as their opinion of businesses using PerfectMoney might not always be so good.

Note from MNO – This question was returned unanswered.

15. Do you have an affiliate program for re-sellers or third parties who refer customers to you? If so then how do they claim this?

We have an affiliate program that free and enables members to earn revenue by placing a link or links on their web site which advertises MinerTechnologies Limited or specific products on it. Any sales made to customers who have clicked on those links will earn the affiliate commission. The standard commission rate is currently 7%.

16. If there are any further questions that readers have about MinerTechnologies Ltd then how can they get in touch with you?

Everyone can contact us by sending a message using contact form on our website or calling our Customer Service. You can find our number in Contact tab.

Thanks a lot to Jonathan for that that, and I hope that he got all the points he was hoping to make about his company across clearly. But like I said in the introduction, you will need to direct any follow-up questions or problems directly to MinerTechnologies. So that’s about all for the moment guys, but don’t forget to check back later on tonight for the regular news update from the HYIP industry. Bye for now and see you all then![/size]

First off, the entire interview/Q&A was contrived and penned in third person, hence it being in quote tags, ergo http://money-news-online.com/ DID NOT ask any of the questions.

Secondly, Jonathan Barlow barely has a command of the English language, in spite of being British.

Next, in the same vein as above, British vs Standard American spelling of certain words, some of which I highlighted in red above.



Hell, whoever penned the blog posts for http://money-news-online.com/ lacks proper English skills as well, for I'm virtually trippin' on each sentence.

It's all variables and it's all risk.  Whether or not you choose to accept it is the question.  You can't just make a blanket statement of "if it's not under $2 per GH, it'll never ROI."  If the price of BTC shoots up to $1000 tomorrow, that $2 per GH will ROI just fine.

If you need BTC to skyrocket to ROI, then you're far better off just buying the BTC.

NO NO NO! We need the hobby miners whether they don't ROI with their own rigs at their homes, or via paying us the inflated rate to do the dirty hobby mining for them.

Recall, back in the good ol' days, miners had to man their hobby rigs 24/7, never having time to enjoy their negative ROI when the hardware finally arrived a couple weeks late. Today, they have the ability to pay us to do said dirty work, thus now allowing them to go out and enjoy the good life (perhaps with somebody's wife) while they're negative ROI;ing as we ROTFLOMFAO.

Miner Technologies is doing it to for the little guys, clearly wanting to eliminate them big mining pharm entity thingies, putting the power back into the little guys' hands. At least that's how it's taught at Penn State and what nut, if my Bulgarian lyin' ass is not mistaken.

We all know the buskers a nice time of passers-by and make a living preachers.
With the transformation of Bitcoin as a payment method, we can apply this model on the net. The fact that the payment is fast, simple and cheap makes it worthwhile in terms of the artist. Distinguish from the street - the artist can reach a much larger audience and revenue potential is many times greater.

You enjoyed watching your favorite band bio - Gay? Contributed her first Bitcoin.

What do you think?

dont just open a website asking for donations. is step one
step two. go up to a busker and teach him bitcoin. get him to make his own bitcoin wallet address and QR code and then get him to display it next to his tip jar.

then video him playing a song or two on the streets and at one point hold the camera up to th QR code. so that we can see there is actually a connection between a random address and a busker..

then you may find its worthy of making a website about it..


Sounds good!

You know what really, really, really motherfuckin' sounds good? Quit posting when your post count reaches a dozen or so, then go and register a new account to pen your next idea on the Bitcoin Discussion section of this forum.

That way in a year from now when you, i.e., formulate your next scam, there'll be a myriad of sock puppets at your beck and call to claim that it's the best thing since sliced bread, all wanting to suck the CEO's dick, or put it on a slice of bread now that I mentioned it.

On March 05, 2011, 07:23:19 PM (CST), Jed McCaleb passed the reins of Mt Gox (below) to a suicidal Frenchman whose claim-to-fame consisted of baking apple pies and naming his company, Tibanne, after his cat thanks, in part, to his grandmother. Mark Karpeles also has some IT skill sets, one aspect in which we're going to explore.

Hello Everyone
I created mtgox on a lark after reading about bitcoins last summer. It has been interesting and fun to do. I’m still very confident that bitcoins have a bright future. But to really make mtgox what it has the potential to be would require more time than I have right now. So I’ve decided to pass the torch to someone better able to take the site to the next level.
MagicalTux has already contributed a lot to the bitcoin community and in many ways he will be better at running the site than I was. He has much more experience with web programming, system administration and integrating with banks and other payment processors than I do.

Everything will still work the same as always for the time being. But expect a lot of positive changes after he takes over including:
Automatic (and free) funding from Euro accounts.
Automatic ACH deposit and withdrawal.
Margin trading.
Interface redesign.
Lifting the $1000 a day withdrawal limit.

Thanks to everyone that has supported mtgox so far. Can’t wait to see BTC hit $10!

I can still be reached on the forum as "jed" or through fivegrinder.com

On November 10, 2010, 08:03:10 AM (CST), Mark Karpeles penned his 7th post using his MagicalTux user name on this here forum. Within you'll read that he owns SMSZ.net.

Hi,

I'm testing a service I put together quickly: for 0.50 BTC you can send a SMS anywhere in the world.

I implemented a small "wallet" where you can load & unload bitcoins easily (without any fee, of course) and a really limited interface (you'll soon see how bad I am at design).

NB: Loading coins to the wallet will wait for 3 confirmations (~30 min).

URL: http://smsz.net/

Missing features:
  • View status of previously sent SMS, including transfer status
  • Change password/email page
  • Longer messages (will bill 0.5BTC * ceil(length_of_message / 160))
  • Ability to send messages coming from your own phone number (you put your phone number, pay 0.5BTC, receive a code by SMS you then enter on the site and voila)
  • Phone number book
  • When entering the destination phone number, the input should be prefixed of country list with number prefix (need to find a database with country iso code -> country phone code list)
  • Feature for payments (generate payment urls compatible with mobile phones?)

Anyway before spending more time on that, some feedback would be welcome.

Remember to enter numbers in international format (+<country_code>.<phone_number>)!! Even if you make a mistake in the number, the SMS will be sent to the gateway and you'll be billed anyway.


Oh and if you are interested in sending large amount of SMS I can put together an API too Smiley

Note the creation date of Dec. 14, 2007, safely assuming Mark Karpeles purchased SMSZ.net then, for there's no record of it ever being for sale. Also, note that on May 26, 2014, Mark Karpeles updated the filing, obfuscating the spelling of his GOOD name AND the street name, of all things. Perhaps, it's the Fukushima radiation spraying down on Tokyo causing people to lose their fuckin' minds.

On December 16, 2010, an IRC dev ;og/chat was archived of which Mark Karpeles held court: http://bitcoinstats.com/irc/bitcoin-dev/logs/2010/12/16. The moniker that Mark Karpeles was using was MT`AwAy. Note the MT and French accent parts Mark Karpeles opted to use close to three months prior to Jed McCaleb sold(?) Mt Gox to him. Also, search for fivegrinder on that linked page and see if you can make heads-or-tails outta what you'll find.

02:29   davux   i'll send them to someone else who needs it when i can

02:30   MT`AwAy   selling web hosting, vps & stuff in bitcoins made me get quite a lot of bitcoins

Later that day, on the 16th of December, Mark Karpeles penned the following...

So, after discussions on IRC we have resulted in the creation of a new bitcoin wiki at https://en.bitcoin.it/

Why, you are going to tell me, do we have a new wiki while there's already one on bitcoin.org ?

Well, I'll give the three main reasons:
  • People do not want to add community-related subjects to the official bitcoin wiki. Probably because nobody said if it was OK or not, but since the wiki is labelled as "Documentation", only technical stuff have ended in there. I believe the community should have its own wiki too (it may contain technical stuff in the end, why not)
  • Dokuwiki is ugly. This is not really a fact, but more like a shared opinion. If you like dokuwiki more, you are free to stay there
  • The wiki on bitcoin.org cannot be mirrored easily. bitcoin.org went down once for a fairly long time, which is not reassuring. This new wiki can be mirrored easily by anyone since the mediawiki xml dump files are available for download. Extensive documentation on mediawiki mirroring is available on Internet.

So anyway, come and share your bitcoin experience on https://en.bitcoin.it/ (other languages available on request)

...of which was in reference to the following in the same IRC chat logs.

17:03   Tester   yes and widespread dependence on it can be a big risk but the gain is worth it
17:04   ArtForz   the real cool part is the idea of using it to create a currency on top and using that same currency to reward "timekeepers"

I included the three references above to show that there's no mistake in proving that MT`AwAy is indeed Mark Karpeles.

The website of Macro Trade was recently brought to our attention.  On its website, Macro Trade claims to be “a duly incorporated investment company offering multiple financial services to its clients globally” and offers on-line trading accounts.  It also claims to be owned by Forteco Trading Ltd. (Forteco).

 Neither Macro Trade nor Forteco is registered in British Columbia to trade in, or advise on, securities and exchange contracts.

 We urge British Columbia residents to exercise extreme caution when dealing with firms that are not registered to trade or advise in British Columbia.

FORTECO TRADING LTD Macro Trade They gave me a plan , i invested on it round about 300$ and now they are scam and not paying me. the other company www.comodo.com had issued them a certificate of trust. London, United Kingdom

Quote
www.macrotrade.com , as they were claiming that they are a registered trading company and they also has a certificate from www. comodo.com, so my level of trust increases on that site..

read these words by www.comodo.com  

that site cheated to its all customer and turn into scam, they are not paying to anyone that hope so they will not pay to anyone in future too.  i contact to comodo.com and ask them to plz compensate my investement , but now they are saying that they are not responsible for this act of the site, its a matter between you and the owner of  the site.

one more thing after my complain to comodo , suddenly comodo remove their logo and identity certificate from www.macrotrade.com.. it is clrearly means that the both companies are scam and fraud.

i am just writting you this complain just becasue i want to tell the world about the reallity of these site, and i also want my money back.

Obviously, this person is off their motherfuckin' rocker, for no way in hell could COMODO be a scam, unless...

In the last few weeks, I have read a fair amount of press coverage about a new Bitcoin wallet application called Dark Wallet. I have also received many inquiries from various sources (customers, blog subscribers, etc.) asking for recommendations on how to stay protected against this “new threat”.  Being a Bitcoin “technology” fan myself and watching its evolution since inception, I’m eager to delve into the Dark Wallet application and Bitcoin technology in general.

First things first, Dark Wallet is not a new kind of a virus, and you are not going to get infected by this type of application.

If you haven’t heard about Bitcoin and digital currencies before, this article.

Before discussing Dark Wallet in more detail, here’s some background information about the problems in the Bitcoin technology.

http://www.coindesk.com/bitpay-processes-1-million-bitcoin-order-butterfly-labs/

Published on October 29, 2013 at 13:31 BST (ButterflyLabs Standard Time)

BitPay has processed its largest ever single transaction – $1 million for bitcoin mining hardware manufacturer Butterfly Labs.

This means that, at the current price of $192 per bitcoin, Butterfly Labs received an order for around 5,208 BTC-worth of mining equipment. BitPay then processed this order, depositing the equivalent in fiat currency in Butterfly Labs’ bank account.

Despite the size of the order, the cryptocurrency payment processor processed it in their usual one-business-day timeframe.

Tony Gallippi, co-founder and CEO of BitPay, said: “The speed, reliability, and certainty of payments over the bitcoin network is expanding at a rapid pace, and in many regards has already surpassed the functionality of our 60-year old credit card networks.”

Butterfly Labs is notorious for missing delivery deadlines, so bitcoiners awaiting the delivery of their mining equipment may be hoping this large transaction will allow the company to speed up its production and delivery.

“Butterfly Labs can now ship this merchandise with confidence that there will be no reversibility or chargeback of the payment, which is a significant risk when accepting credit cards online or PayPal,” said Gallippi.

Jeff Ownby, vice-president of marketing at Butterfly Labs, said his company was confident all along that BitPay would be able to process such a large transaction.

“The $1m payment with bitcoin is only a down payment of a much larger institutional order for 28nm product, and is not related to 65nm production,” he added.

Ownby went on to say Butterfly Labs has quadrupled its 65nm production in the last six weeks and has doubled its production staff.

“Funds received for 28nm Monarch products are used for production of our 28nm Monarch cards only. We expect to begin delivery of Monarch cards in December,” he concluded.

The latest update from Butterfly Labs was at the start of September when the company announced customers could transfer their orders to another person. Customers can do so using the classified ads section located at the top of every page of the forum for hardware sales.

This is the one. At least per a bit of Googling -- http://www.prweb.com/releases/2013/10/prweb11283333.htm




If only I had found this thread sooner Tongue

EDIT: Funny how the only [tiny] image of the BitPay receipt (that I could find so far) is paired with an article written by someone from BFL </tinfoil hat>

Because I'm an awesome guy, I'm paying acorn $10 USD and Korbman $5 USD via bitcoins. Please provide me an address via PM so that I can pay you. Apologies for not PM'ing you both for the time being, for I'm busy.
