Wow all sorts of ASIC offers coming out of the wood work.

I give this one a 'thank you sir, please come again'.  Chance of legitimacy? I'd put it at ....   4 to 6% ..

I just don't trust anyone that Capitalizes random words, especially. 

I have a hard time with this as well.

I think I could reasonably outline Bitcoin in a paragraph or two. But when friends ask me about how it works, all I can do is mumble something about 'cryptography' and basically just say its a 'online currency based on codes' which doesn't do it all nearly enough justice.

Earth is a just a Coin on the intergalactic markets and we all mine it down here.

Last I heard EarthCoin was hovering at about 0.0015 UniverseCoin's.

The Biggerburger group is trying to bring us down....in order to prime us for a big pump & dump.

And don't even get me started on the Zeta Reticulans!

Took a few moments of puzzlement and contemplation, but do believe for the graphs, PV is 'page views' . Not sure of the other metric. But the graphs show the amount of traffic their site is getting in the lovely China part of the world.

Well this looks promising to me.

Good luck !  Will be following your announcements.

Couldn't hurt to use the "AMD driver uninstall tool" [available for only Windows 7] to completely clean out your drivers, and then reinstall them.

AMD drivers have tendency to critically mess up and then not uninstall correctly.

Though yes, your problem does sound to be more likely a hardware issue .

I pretty much agree with everything arsenische said, and concur that people are consolidating right now.  

But now that is settled any other theories ?  I remember reading something about MTGOX changing it's policy on bots, or limiting bots some how (or may the volume of thos 0.01 trades) around the time that this period of stability began. I wonder if that is a factor; I can't recall too many more specific details about it though, it might have happened or maybe someone just postulated that ...

Really unfortunately, I don't think this is the case.  It looks like BFL is still selling a few hundred units a day, I think it was between 250 and 400 on average.

The unwashed Internet masses are not as informed as us who follow the forums.  People are still handing over tons of cash to BFL with no idea that they stepping into a semi illegitimate boondoggle. 

In the best of cases it's a complete fabrication to promise any timely delivery of 'pre-orders' when there are untold thousands of orders before yours already made, and the company hasn't even been able to finalize a prototype yet.

Really getting excited about this design . Keep up the good work BKKCoins.. !

OKPay appears to be back for BTCE now though. Thanks anyways OP.

Gox isn't for the patient. 

Same thing for me last time I went to withdraw to OKPAY :  had errors, received vague replies to my email, had no idea whether it was going to be a day, week or month to complete the funds transfer.

But you can't argue with Gox. It's just best avoided if you looking for any sort reliable USD withdrawal time.

I wouldn't get too paranoid about them selectively shipping stuff. I'm sure shipping stuff from 'some place in China' is highly variable thing. Two packages beside each other in shipping could end up in completely different parts of your country in their big circuitous world tour getting to you.

Certainly looks worthwhile then for every Avalon owner to get some Artic Silver and goop it up.

Excellent, this could work out really well then. I'll pm you with my email address.

I might even be able to write off a bit of my vacation expenses as a legal business tax deduction then, where I to do this, which would then be even better...

Well I was planning a Bali holiday in September.... hmm would be pretty awesome if I could move this up a bit and swing by to pick up a Klondike while I'm in the neighbourhood

Thanks Bicknellski for taking it upon yourself to introduce more Indonesian youth to Bitcoin. 

I continued to be surprised how strong sales are for BFL even to this day. Guess it goes to show you how much of an impact advertising can have, and how this sizzle is often more important than the steak.

I can also understand somewhat how folks who haven't read too much about Bitcoin, or much at all on these forums, could be seduced into buying a sexy BFL 'pre-order' after punching in basic numbers into that top Google ranked Bitcoin mining calculator, which has the big prominent BFL ad on the same page.

What I don't understand is how so many people could be so screwed by this company, and yet, how very few seem to request refunds.  Even let's suppose BFL ships in 2 months or so. How can you justify being lied to repeatedly and still trust this company -- there is no way in hell they could have expected to finish their product in any of the initial timelines they regularly proclaimed.  

And if you even then presumed that they were being honest when saying '1 or 2 more weeks' for the last forever, (and going great lengths to win that 'shipping' bet) then you would than logically have to suppose that the level of BFL's incompetence is such that it'd be a far better investment to move your BTC anywhere elsewhere.

Get a refund while you can. Cut your losses.

I'm not all-pro like as some folks are around here but my 2 cents:  you have gpu threads set to 2, so you can  not use a thread concurrency of 20k or so.

You can either have a gpu thread of 2 and use a low thread concurrency of somewhere between 7500 - 9000 for your card, or a gpu thread of 1 and have a thread concurrency of 20000 - 24000  (mine is set to 21712) .

Also, did you know that for scrypt, the intensity settings are all different than sha-256 ?  You may want to try an intensity of 19. High intensity for scrypt is 14-20

I basically agree with your appraisal of the situation OP.

I think if most major exchanges in most first world countries were shutdown, it would hurt the valuation of Bitcoin. But even if this is the case, Bitcoin would still be fine -- it would just grow a lower rate.

Even if Bitcoin was made 'illegal' in much of the world I still think the price would still rise (but at even a greater penalty). Even if Bitcoin was only limited to use as a blackmarket illegal currency, the future still looks bright.

That's a beautiful machine. Thank you for the video .

Sorta wish now I was able to have my own instead of just a group share!  

My Seasonic 1200W is honestly one of the best components I've ever bought.

I think it is extremely well made. 5 stars, totally recommended.

I bought for it for $220 I think. I would not be surprised if I use this thing for like 15 years.

It even came in this swanky purple cloth bag which is perfect for holding Cassius coins.
