got my chargeback today too.

Until BTC has more protection for buyers, I don't see myself ever buying any big-ticket items with them in the future.  It seems scams are just too easy.

Sorry, I should clarify.  It's for mining.  Wanted to gauge the community sentiment on if purchasing old GPUs for mining is still worthwhile.  My rough calculations at today's difficulty- a 5870 would need about 90-100 days to pay for itself.

I've been combing my local B&S web sites and see prices for 5800 series down to sub 100 dollar levels.  Would any of you still buy a 5870 card for a hundred bucks at this time?  Thanks.

I have been at payout threshold under this same username and it hasn't paid out yet.  Is the pool still working?

working great so far here

Hopefully your family and yourself are okay.  Just seeing the storm on TV is chilling.

Heh maybe Avalon may ship at the same time as all the other asics.

Is each tower a stack of bASICs?

I use Cavirtex and they sound similar to what this company is doing.  Just have a secondary chequing account that has limited funds you can lose if something does go wrong.

I wonder if any ASIC manufacturers out there could be working on a LTC ASIC?  They could get into a dominant market position like BFL did if they got in early.

Hopefully the answer is yet.  It would ridiculous if it was 60 per device...

I think that's all conjecture at this time, since there has been no official taping out etc from Tom regarding the bASIC either.  It's still up in the air who will ship first right now.

Investmentwise, AMD is probably near rock bottom at the moment.  Anyone buying AMD at this time?

but will it mine?

pretty sure people could file fraudulent chargebacks with their credit cards if Tom has verified tracking info to an address other than the billing address.

what about the stockmarket?  would you consider buying them saving?  It's like you're spending fiat to try to gain more fiat.

would anyone consider a bounty for a WPA cracking firmware like what Cablepair had organized for an improved modminer quad fw?

I ordered something from the US to Canada last year using DHL and one advantage is that their brokerage fee was around 10 dollars flat instead of a climbing one like with UPS.

Tom, since so many people are asking for it.  Would you be able to clarify what we should do to get express shipping?  Thank you.  Figure I'd do this before emailing you.

Is overnight shipping even an option?  Thanks.  It wasn't available when I ordered.
