They have refused to allow anyone to pick up a unit or see their facility.  I have asked.  I'm very close to Kansas City, so it would be easy if I knew their address.

Not true, some people have gotten to see it.

The Bitcoin community has made BFL rich on nothing but words.  It is irrelevant whether or not they develop an ASIC .  BFL has won.  There are even people sucking BFLs balls in their signatures praising them for a product which doesn't even exist yet.

Yeah, this has really been surprising me. Crazyates, are you getting some kick backs for the ad in your sig? Not that there's anything wrong with that, I'm just curious.

Also, psy is another one. Any incentive for you?

There's a thread where Josh is soliciting user sig space for ads.

Sincerely hoping my jalapenos will get here before the end of the year. I've heard they are just NOW shipping singles (Not ASICS) ordered from early August.

The singles shipping time is the best its ever been.  You should have done more research if you were worried about a 30 day turnaround.

RC2 with IE default still gives the message about the data directory lock.  Upgrading to RC3 to try thta.

What are your command-line switches for starting your normal Bitcoin instance? What is the behaviour, when you do not start a client and then click a Bitcoin URI?
I guess you should uninstall and then try to edit the Registry and manually remove the bitcoin URI association, to be sure you have a clean registry before installing.
Also take a look into C:\ProgramData\ and remove the boost_interprocess folder and all it's contents (when no client is running).

Are you using bitcoind together with bitcoin-qt?

Dia

Normal shortcut with a commandline of "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe"

I removed the boost_interprocess folder just now.  

I do make use of a %appdata\roaming\bitcoin\bitcoin.conf file but it just specifies a few nodes to connect to, rpc port/pass, and the start min/min to tray.

This is the handler registry entry.  I had removed it and this is the result of the RC3 installation.

Code:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\bitcoin]
"URL Protocol"=""
@="URL:Bitcoin"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\bitcoin\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Bitcoin\\bitcoin-qt.exe"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\bitcoin\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\bitcoin\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\bitcoin\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Bitcoin\\bitcoin-qt.exe\" \"$1\""


I've got my wallet.dat sitting in a truecrypt volume that is symlinked into my data directory.  You think perhaps that is what is causing it?

+1 I used GPUMAX and could trace some coins from BTCST wallets to GPUMAX payments.

This is simply a laundry for the pirate, make no mistake about that.

Only partially.  Basically, it could be a laundry for anyone.  You pay for your lease with dirty coins.  Your lease provides coins from the pool which are probably clean.

The app IS the wallet.  It functions similarly to the satoshi client, but all on your phone or other android device.

114  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Bitcoin Wallet for Android on: September 13, 2012, 03:10:56 PM
My understanding is that 'coinbase' transactions involve newly mined Bitcoins? If so, that was not the case in my issue - the coins had been on my laptop wallet for months. But perhaps this is related to my problem. Maybe Bitcoin Wallet thinks they are coinbase transactions when they are not? I think having the same 100-confirmation point would be too much of a coincidence.

I saw something on the dev list a week or two ago about how they were migrating some stuff to a different format and storing more info about confidence levels or some such.  Did you recently do a software update (or perhaps it did it automatically) of bitcoin wallet?

That's not the same thing.. Being paid a week later for work you've done is NOT being paid every day. Nobody ever said GPUMax defaulted.. I said "they don't pay out every day" which is by your own admission, true.

Zux0r has made a commitment to payout every day, usually just after midnight CDT.  It's been like clockwork for the past week or two now.

Those GPUs didn't show up on their own.
118  Economy / Long-term offers / Re: imsaguy's Enormously Interesting Extended Investment Opportunity on: September 13, 2012, 03:02:48 AM
You are right, Coinlab and Asicminer aren't making anything now, and they probably never will. I've been trying to explain that to you earlier too.

I'm glad you think so, but the fact that more and more  people are joining coinlab seems to indicate people disagree with you there.  There's not a known timeline, but to say it probably never will is a little disingenuous.   There's already a huge market for gpu clusters, the field is rapidly growing and changing.  CoinLab is just working through the logistics.

ASICMiner will most likely produce a product and start making money.  They might rock the socks off BFL and the others or they might just be average.  Either way, they should produce a return and any returns are paid to GLBSE shareholders before the three principals.  Even a simple 1:1 return of capital ends up being a 10%+ return. 

We need to take the risk, either to keep investing in ASIC or say we have enough exposure already.
Keep investing in ASIC means we might get ahead, but if not, everything will be gone, nobody would likely be paid anything.
If we don't invest in ASIC, means people get paid in this waiting time, and possible in the future, we never see our principal back.

I think you're trying to cut off your nose to spite your face.  You're looking at this in the shortest of possible of terms and failing to look at the larger picture.   Mining, if done right, will always be profitable.  Attempting to take too much out too quickly and not fully accounting for the rapid pace of depreciation is what screws things.  Look at what's going on with gigamining or any of the others, asic combined with the reward halving is flipping the mining field in unknown directions.  Stockpiling a little coin right now is the most prudent thing.  If it turns out things are a bust, there's nothing preventing a payment of those in the future.  If price of coins goes up some, it makes buying hardware easier and less coins are diverted towards the keeping up and more coins are paid out.  If price goes down, then perhaps asic doesn't make sense and that means I can afford to buy more from "the day job", thereby decreasing the payback period.
119  Economy / Long-term offers / Re: imsaguy's Enormously Interesting Extended Investment Opportunity on: September 13, 2012, 01:11:48 AM
Any updates? A simple plan would suffice.

Waiting for the ASIC gear to arrive.
Using the current dividends to acquire additional hardware.
Waiting on ASICMiner shares to start paying.
Waiting on CoinLab to start GPU leasing.

Continue paying out as funds become available from above mentioned activities.
So what you are saying is.....wait and wait.
It seems that you have enough ASICs from BFL orders and ASICMiner that can cover your principal payment down the road when ASIC happens. The CoinLab should also be viable if they are able to find customers.

Perhaps you should stop using current dividends to acquire additional hardware.
Why? Because you stated that there have been a lot of messed up orders before. It would make sense to not keep throwing money down the same path. At this point, I think the investors should have a say in what to do with the BTCs generated now.
If you keep investing more into ASIC, what if something happened again that mess it up causing you to go broke again?
Wouldn't it be safer to use the BTC generated daily to pay out partial principal, and then wait to see what happens with ASICs.
This is investor's money you are handling, and the investors should be able to vote what to do. Why? B/c you are no longer paying the dividends, which means you are not the one controlling what happens from now on. If you were to continue paying dividends, then we the investors don't care what you do with the capital you have now.

I hope this makes sense.


I hope what I'm about to say makes sense:

Diff is expected to grow by leaps and bounds.  It will start out as an arms race with all this new gear.  Anyone that isn't ahead of the pack will get left in the dust.  If we don't get ahead of the pack, we'll be behind and once we're behind, it means things will take exponentially longer.

Coinlab isn't doing leased work, so we can't pretend that will make money until it actually is. 

Asicminer isn't paying dividends right now, so we can't pretend its making money until they start paying.  We don't even know what they'll pay because it depends on what they end up doing compared to BFL and the others.  I don't think it makes much sense to liquidate the position as the bid depth on GLBSE is lacking (which it always seems to be), which means the liquidating would be a huge loss.

Be patient.  These things aren't going to resolve overnight just because you wish it to happen.

As I know nothing about the workings of IRC, is that stat server-wide ? or for a specific channel ?

that's freenode wide.  He uses a thing called an IRC bouncer, which gives him an IRC presence even if he doesn't specifically have an IRC client connected.  IRC is one of those things that if you aren't connected, you miss out on what is said.  You have to be there real time.  A bouncer is sorta like an answering machine.  It stays connected so you don't have to and then when you're online, it "bounces" the messages you missed to you so you can catch up.

The idle is reset when he says something.  When that script for accounts paid was going, it actually would keep resetting the idle counter because his client was saying something, even though it was automated.  Now that the script isn't working/turned off, the idle counter is more accurate.
