 I feel bad for the other guys. He's watching Btc going to 35 dollars and he can't mine them. Alas my question is still unanswered..........idle Josh's silence on the matter of why delays happened in November and December will continue. Josh knows they messed up. If they told the truth in 2012 they would not have as much preorder customer money as they do now. It's a ponzi scheme. No product just promises to deliver. But they can "offer refunds". Just not to 100% of their customers.  Then you should probably not order one then. Might be a good idea to stop trolling the forums and get some fresh air for a change as well. The only scam is the bs timelines and changing their order policy after people paid for products. I would have made enough money to purchase a nice home off the new btc price had I not given it to them. If I find out Joe Bob ordered yesterday and got his unit after I paid 11 months ago, I will be using the rest of my money to hire some lawyers. |

You seem a little to optimistic. If the past is any indication, it will take them at least 2 months to get through the rest of the list.
Week of January 13th
Travel to packaging facility for final prep and walkthrough
Confirm travel plans and trip details with lead ASIC engineer for trip to fab
Week of January 20th
Final assembly facility prep
Leave for fab at the end of the week
Week of January 26th
Final chips roll off the line
Grab suitcase, a BMW or a Peugeot and make a break for the airport, Ronin style (You can see Tom about 6 minutes, 20 seconds into the video)
Arrive California at chip packaging plant
KC facility starts assembly process of units to drop PCB into
Week of February 3rd
Chips packaged
Packaged chips sent to assembly house
Assembled PCB is set for final testing and MCU programming
Notify users to start sending their FPGA units or BTC for trade in participants
Bulk assembled PCBs arrive in KC, we start dropping PCBs into waiting units
Boxing/labeling for shipment
Week of February 10th
We implement the 1/3 shipping plan en mass
1/3 of our assembled units will go to new orders in FIFO
1/3 of our assembled units will go to upgrade orders
1/3 will be randomly selected from both groups
We descend upon the Post Office, DHL, UPS and FedEx like a horde of angry locust

It's just a tactic to make higher profits. A % of customers will have died of natural causes before they receive a unit. Have to wait and see how many singles never get sent in for upgrades to get the exact customer fatality rate.

I've been trying to figure out how to use stratum on this pool. My understand was that instead of using the proxy.exe you were just putting "stratum+tcp://us1.eclipsemc.com:8333" in the config file. However that does not seem to be working, what am I missing?
- Whether you need/want the proxy or not depends on your environment (mining software and number of rigs), not the pool.
- Port 8333 is bitcoin p2p, not for mining. Stratum uses port 3333 or 3334 usually.
I'm only running 25/gh atm. I have 24 singles ordered though, so I want everything ready to go when I get them. It seems to be worth the performance increase anyway. Thanks for the help. |

The recent price increase could be related to people purchasing coins to get ready for ASIC purchases. Some people want to wait until shipments start to make their order. When they do, it could trigger a downward trend.

Agreed. Ok, $20. But $30... Impossible!
Yeah, that would be crazy |

5) What's up with your own 50GH mining farm? Sold? Where's the money?
Very good question. This rig was mentioned many times by Clipse and when it is not sold this rig can provide 15 btc income per day and near 500 btc per month according to current network difficulty. Let's calculate how much he owed in total according to data in two topics ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=105866.0 and https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=118353.0): marke74.miner 325 uuidman 320 Inaba 231 MXRider 180 Math Man 173 Morblias 109 Danilo 100 dmcurser 80+ Azelphur 50 btcwalker 40 joyyen 35 ajstar 30 ddd1 28 zapeta 20 roomservice 19 juggalodarkclow 18 KBdigital 16 LoupGaroux 15 John (johnthedong) 12 psilan 5.5 gnpeer 5.5 Xfinity 5 -- Total: 1817 (calculations are done with no interest promises included) Hope, I didn't miss someone. If it is not so, please correct my calculations. It is possible to pay out all the money to people listed above in 3-4 months by using the rig power only. Unfortunately, I am sure there are much more people harmed from this scam. Current MTGOX price is ~ 27$ per BTC so... 1817 BTC = 49059$ so much money is gone  You can tack about 8k dollars on there for me. Puts the total at about 63.5k with the current 30 dollars price. I would really like to get my hands on that pond scum. Hopefully he ends up a quadriplegic and that money is used to keep his ass alive for the next 70 years. |

Not sure what all this apple hating is about, no one likes their censoring and that part makes sense. Although a 5 year old could jailbreak a iphone. When you produce the best phone and have the largest selection of apps, I guess you get jealous haters. Only one android phone even turns a profit these days, you can hardly get upset that a company likes to turn a profit on thier products.
I will start with the fact that Apple's business model for IOS poses a threat to the integrity and security of Bitcoin. Why because if one gives centralized control over computing devices to a single authority by means of DRM, then one has already set the stage for all sort of attacks against Bitcoin, since the security of Bitcoin depends on individual users having complete control over their computing devices. Do not get me wrong I do not expect for example a 51% attack against Bitcoin to work at all, in-spite of the efforts of Apple with IOS or Microsoft with Windows 8 RT. Nevertheless it makes very little sense to me why anyone involved with Bitcoin would want to support a business model that poses such a security threat to Bitcoin. Please state a specific example of how Apple could attack Bitcoin or Bitcoin users. Apart from what Apple has already done namely ban Bitcoin applications which has had minimal impact on Bitcoin only because there are many Bitcoin users that 1) do not use IOS devices for Bitcoin or 2) have jailbroken their devices. Here are some examples from https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Weaknesses1) Cancer Nodes Turn every iPhone an iPad that has not been jailbroken into a Bitcoin Cancer node. 2) Timejacking http://culubas.blogspot.ca/2011/05/timejacking-bitcoin_802.htmlTurn every iPhone an iPad that has not been jailbroken into a Bitcoin timejacking node. 3) Rival/malicious client code Apple has the market share to pull this off ... n) any attack where one controls a substantial number of Bitcoin nodes, hash power etc. These attacks work because Apple and not the end users has control over the software and hardware. This is not just Apple FUD as Microsoft is moving in he same direction with Windows 8 RT and given Microsoft’s desktop OS market share this can even post a greater threat to Bitcoin. Let us not forget that both these companies are based in the United States and are therefore subject to US law. Here is an example of a 51% attack by Microsoft: A Windows update that turns every GPU on a Windows machine into a Bitcoin mining node to mine a bad blockchain. To hide itself this could used only say 10% of the GPU power. These are variations of the Treacherous Computing attack on Bitcoin. http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/can-you-trust.html The warning on Treacherous Computing was first published by Richard Stallman over a decade ago and is extremely relevant to the security of Bitcoin. If Apple had ban bitcoin there would not be a bitcoin wallet app on their app store, they would get rid of the rest of the bitcoin apps as well. I have heard they don't allow apps which download the blockchain, while I don't support the blocking of any non dangerous apps. Not sure anyone would want a 13 gig wallet app either. There is no way in hell Microsoft would use windows to attack users and create a botnet. The backlash would pretty much put them out of business or in jail, and would be ineffective in a couple weeks anyway. A GPU botnet would pretty much just burn out gpu's as well. Anyone who has tried to gpu mine without taking the cover off and turning the fan's up could tell you that idea is not gonna fly. |

 I'm a little confused about what's in Chicago.. I thought they were going to KC then shipping out. Anyone know more about this? |

Why is the text on http://satoshidice.com/ blinking? It makes it impossible to cut and paste the addresses without selecting more text then you want to. It does it on my iphone as well, which is a whole new level of pain in the butt. Is there some method of placing a bet without cut and pasting those addresses that I'm oblivious to or is the code on the page just retarded? |

It seems strange to me that they don't have a working product. Making a large order and just hoping that everything works out seems risky. I don't see how they can be so sure everything will work correctly.
This is a new age....throw tons of money at a business that has no working product for months....just have "FAITH" I'm only worried about mass producing something before testing it. I agree here. Testing should be done on small quantities (i.e. a prototype ...DUH). BFL must have some magic potion that allows them to divert the normal development process in any new technology. Unicorns, leprechauns, pots of golds, lucky charms, rainbows! You remember that little fiasco where they were using a QFN chip, but then when they tested it, the plastic couldn't conduct the heat out of the chip and into the heatsink? Well, lets just think about that for a second. They had chips, and they were even testing the chips on one of their boards. If they really had a faulty design, and the chips really couldn't hash, then they would have known about it in October. I'm not sure how they tested the heat, but if they had a hashing ASIC they wouldn't be hiding it. They could have also figured out the spec for the unit by now if they had one. It's more likely they just skipped testing and went straight to production hoping everything works out. |

I don't see how they could be certain it worked without testing one. I'm not talking about user testing.. |

I lost 8 times in a row doing the double bet method, cost me over 4 thousand on satoshi dice. Last time I bet anything on that site. I tried a really small bet after my 5th try to see if it was working, that was the only one that I won. Then I lost 3 more big bets.

It seems simple but I just get a code 4 error when trying to add the private key, am I missing something? I updated to the newest client and tried several addresses. importprivkey 5JR1q13wc8JxPxaggs7zm292LVYb2L2FzUYvCLsrq4fFLsP44wW
Error adding key to wallet (code -4)
did you unlock it? btw, really bad idea posting the privkey! Unlock it? I don't see any references to anything like that.. That's just some random private key. $ bitcoind help walletpassphrase
walletpassphrase <passphrase> <timeout>
Stores the wallet decryption key in memory for <timeout> seconds.
afterwards u should be able to import it Awesome, Thanks |
