If I assume 1 ticket cost $1 your group would have made more money if you split up the $785 used to purchase the initial tickets amongst the group.

Oh, it's on "the website"?  Good thing there's only a couple websites to check, shouldn't take too long to find the one you're talking about... 

Even with international shipping, unless someone is picking it up directly from the international distributor then they'll be paying for shipping twice: once to get the bulk buy to the distributor (this cost will likely be added to the distributors resale price), and again to have it shipped from the distributor to them.

But if it is cheaper to do it that way then yes, I too am glad sidehack is allowing that distribution model for the folk abroad.

Why would you need a group buy?  There's no discount on quantity, which is what group buys are used for.

I live in the USA where these are being made, and afaik the sticks will come direct from GekkoScience.

OP,

Flip a coin 1000 times, tell me what your longest streak of heads in a row is.  Then tell me how it's impossible and coins cheat and fuck coins.
 

Looking forward to the announcement!  Hopefully it won't happen this weekend as I will be out of town, and I have a feeling these are going to go quick.

Good luck!

Site is back up, carry on earning interest.  

I have a little bit invested here and I got nervous for a second, too.

Thanks to you and other who replied with this.  Unfortunately I do not speak code, but I have read a couple books and the white paper and such and never saw this mentioned.  Makes me kind of nervous, but I guess nothing to worry about as long as the tx backlog is small.

And just like that, he's gone...


I'm sure (hope) it's just a technical glitch, but you never know when a place is going to close up shop and walk away with the coins...

Where is this officially documented?  Provide a link please.  I find it concerning that a transaction sent could be "forgotten" by the network for any reason, that seems like a huge problem.

Yes, the math would be very nice to see.  It's an interesting theory, but it needs evidence (or in math you'd call it a proof I guess) to support it and make it more than a well thought out post.

If "someone" is doing this on purpose than there's less than a handful of someones that could be.  That certainly narrows down the suspect list...

One thing that comes to mind, though, is that some of the pools capable of this also mine empty blocks and I'm not sure that helps an attack as described.

You must be high if you believe that.  Try a little research, you'll see how wrong you are.

You're a senior member on this forum since September 2014 and you don't know what Antminer is?

How much did you pay for this account?  Feel free to answer in French, as many of your old posts were written in that language.

I hope all the garbage stays unconfirmed, there's no reason to fill blocks with the "test spam".  Let all those tx sit in limbo while us regular folk go about our business.  I use normal tx fees and have not had one issue since the spam tests started.

If this was a test it proved nothing.

If this was an attack it was poorly executed and failed.

BTC price holding strong at 291.  This 300 dollar barrier is an interesting one, we keep nipping at it, slipping back, then nipping at it again.

Even with cheap power, $250,000 is not enough to get a serious mine up and running.  Look at HaoBTC, for example.  They just relocated 4PH+ of equipment they already owned to a new facility and they spent $600,000-$800,000 to set up the new mine.  They have cheap power and 0 equipment cost and spent almost a million bucks.

Save your $250,000, I think it would be wasted trying to build a mine, especially if you have to come on a forum and ask basic advice.

Try using a real DNS server and not your local machine.

I think I'm older than you all put together.  2009 was only 6 years ago, people.  That's like yesterday.

I just send 0.1 btc to an investment account using core 0.11 as my wallet, default tx fee, and it went through no problem.

Wow, good timing.  Congrats!

Lesson learned, don't shut down miners early. 

I agree, the new look is horribly ugly, it's all black and white the the icons for incoming/outgoing tx are terrible.

Give me back my colorized lock, connectivity monitor, and check mark!
