from the updates yesterday, it seems more batch #2 devices have shipped. HOWEVER, where are the batch #2 trade-in orders at??? THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE PRIORITY. emphasized with caps  One thing I have learned in business and the real world....being a man of your word speaks volumes. wait, there were updates yesterday? where at?! I completely missed them. |

unless, like I mentioned earlier, he mysteriously doesnt show up ... =/

ok cool, so the businesses Im mainly targeting are in the retail PC industry in sales, tech, small business network etc....
We, of course, dont do very big ticket items in POS situation.
So, if I were to tout the security of bitcoin such as 'theres no risk of fraud' - that wouldnt be entirely accurate =/ grrr
well wonder what bitpay does about it...

Im in the process of trying to convince my boss, my old boss and possibly a few other small business owners that accepting bitcoin would be very advantageous not only from a fraud & low fees viewpoint but also marketing.
With that, I have a question or 2, mainly 1 big one as of right now I am not sure about.
When accepting bitcoin using bitpay POS w/ their web interface and a customer thats using a cell phone. Does bitpay just wait till the transaction is detected on their node w/o any sort of confirmations before the payment is marked as paid and transferred?
If so, then what prevents someone from performing a fraudulant double spend via the few methods that are available on non confirmation transactions?
Does bitpay gauruntee(pay back merchant) against this and is willing to back if fraud has happened?
Im kinda confused how the merchant would be fully protected against this unless they waited a full 6 confirmations...and no customer is gonna wanna stand there that long.
I know for the most common type, a webpage could also be opened to blockchain.info to have a '3rd party' track the transmission of the transaction throughout the nodes. This would be added security , I think anyways. But other than that...not sure.
thanks

I'm sure at least one member of the crowd at the conference will ask Yufi for a batch update. If batch 2 doesn't go out this next week I'll be a little  welcome to the new BFL... |

I suspect yufi will magically not show up...then we are all fuxxored.

There is no way to reset it in linux if the driver crashes. It requires a reboot.
What is the reason that this is possible in Windows? Is the Linux driver different, or is it something to do with cgminer? Cgminer can't keep mining on windows either, even if your driver does reset, the existing cgminer is tied to the old driver. The difference is the windows AMD driver is better than the linux AMD driver because the windows driver uses a different model where it can detach a crashed driver and then attach a fresh one. On linux, because AMD do not work with the linux kernel crew and provide a driver not supported by the linux kernel development process, it wedges itself into the kernel as best as it can which means that when the driver crashes, the linux kernel actually becomes corrupted and any process attached to it (such as cgminer) is hung in an unrecoverable state and only a reboot will fix it. Thats why I wrote a watchdog script, in windows, for dead / sick GPU's through the API then it simply restarts cgminer on a windows machine and continues mining like normal. |

lol, that would be nice, but think hes joking.

So how much money do you think we are going to get out of our batch 2 avalons? It seems like batch 2 and 3 and all the bulk chip orders will go out at the same time, plus difficulty will continue to rise from other sources. At one point batch #2 pre orders were selling for 30k$ usd on ebay, now maybe 20k$? I'm just projecting the potential profit I will get from this I'm hoping for at least 15k return before difficulty skyrockets and melts the potential profit away.
ya know, as long as the damn thing pays for itself, first and foremost in USD ... then eventually in BTC spent on it... I would be fine with that. Anything after that is profit...which would be nice...but eventually gotta accept the fact it all goes toward securing the bitcoin network and thats why we partake in the adventure anyways. Profitable or break even.. =) Im hoping its still profitable, and it probably will be...but waiting without news & its approaching a month past the apr 15th deadline, sucks. |

I just requested manual payout, yet it states on website executed, but dont see record of it on blockchain and my client aint seeing it. ... is this due to the maintenance? If not, please help.
That's normal on 50btc, you must wait like 1 hour after your request to see the record on blockchain/blockexplorer and obviously see the coins on your wallet.. they used to be "instant" but they have this delay since 2 weeks ago Yeahp, just received it. Thanks =) hehe...was freaked there for a moment. |

If it was just the amd driver failure then YES! I've found with my setup that if I enable and then disable crossfire it resets the driver if that is all that has crashed after playing with o/c settings.
I am referring to a case where the GPU gets locked up, and it is declared SICK/DEAD by cgminer. Generally if the GPU is sick / dead that means the system survived an AMD driver reset already - hence the gpu stopped responding in CGMINER. I wrote a script in windows to restart cgminer if such a situation has occurred because, after restarting cgminer it continues mining w/ all GPU's once again. |
