Their site shows an under construction sign. Those weren't used since at least 2005.
Is this some sort of joke?  Roll Eyes

Many sites are still using that under construction signs in these days. I don't know if they are joke though...  Grin

I just got the same email from Ari.

This is the contact info I have for Tom.  Can someone confirm whether it's correct (I think the phone number may no longer be active).

P.O. Box 246
Hannibal, NY 13074

Telephone:
3155140269

PO box wont help a lot I think Does tom revelatead his real name in past or does ppl send him ten sof thousands in btc without know his real name and having just a po box and a prepaid phone? Sounds like crazy if...

As far as we know, his name is Thomas Van Riper.

He got a Bitcoin vanity licence plate last year, so Ari's lawyers could probably track him that if anyone has a picture of the licence plate (it was on his Google+ account but he's deleted that account now and I can't find a picture in Google cache but he may have posted it here as well - it was in March 2012).

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=66927.msg778314#msg778314

Dave had access to the merchant account so he should be able to provide all of the details related to that account.

The domain registration info for BTCFPGA uses the PO box address.

http://www.ip-adress.com/whois/btcfpga.com

This was the street address for his computer repair shop.  It's also the address given on several domains Tom registered.

121 Lyon Street, Fulton, NY 13069 - New York,

Tel: (315) 514-0269

He was still using that phone number late last year but the website for the computer repair shop is now blank.

About the vanity plate i found this thread : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=70113.0

Can you ship to Europe? Of course the shipping price would be higher I assume...  Grin
65  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Announcement] Avalon ASIC Development Status [Batch #1] on: January 17, 2013, 09:40:36 AM
So after waiting days for the Avalon team to clarify the claims they made of having 10+ years experience producing ASICs they have failed to address the issue I have raised. I said they would avoid the issue of experience and they have done just that. The Avalon team's silence is thunderous. After all if they tell the community the truth after lying the community would rip them a new orifice and kill their chance of a successful second round of pre-orders. But after Tom's debacle it is unlikely that many would be willing to go the pre-oreder route again when purchasing an ASIC product.

So let's approach the question of Avalon's experience from a different direction. It has been reported that Avalon bought something like 1000 ASIC chips from Tom, sight unseen and untested. The use of Tom's ASIC would require a new PCB, chassis and power supply, bASICally a completely new product. This being true even though Avalon was going to be first to market. A thinking person can see my next question before it is even asked.

If the Avalon team is so skilled in manufacturing an ASIC product why don't they have the confidence in their own product? Why does the Avalon development team believe an untested, still in development ASIC is a better product then the one they have produced?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_EnrVf9u8s

It is becoming increasingly unlikely that Avalon's production run will exceed 300 units. I personally believe that there is a greater than 80% chance that Avalon will become the next failed Bitcion ASIC producer.

I really, really hope that Avalon succeed but you have a good point/question here.

I could buy your BFL single. We could arrange escrow through some trustworthy user here in bitcointalk.org forums. How much you ask for your BFL single? You can also send me your offer with PM.
70  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: [WTS]-[EU] 5 BFL FPGA Singles on: January 10, 2013, 01:25:07 PM
Yeah, I'm interested too. Sending PM right now.

Hello!

I'm looking to buy a BFL FGPA Single(s). So I need at least 1 but it's possible to buy maybe more than one single. Payment is possible with Paypal or bitcoins (with escrow). Alltough, I have to first buy some bitcoins.

Shipment to the Finland. I hope to get some offers from EU but I guess it's possible to buy from somewhere else too.

If you have one (or maybe more) to offer, please send me a PM with the details (price, etc).

Thanks!

This is actually very cool. I've been searching for a bot to do some bitcoin arbitrage and this seems to be the best option what I've found. Thanks for nomorecoin, aido and others too, who are helping for developing this. I'm going to test this very soon!

Well, there is https://cryptostocks.com/ but I haven't used that site myself though.

https://bitcoinfoundation.org/donate states:

Quote
Bitcoin Foundation Accepts Donations in Bitcoins
We believe this is important for two reasons:
1. It represents our strong belief in the value of Bitcoin as a medium of exchange AND
2. It automatically makes the Foundation’s assets public information—allowing Bitcoin users to see how much we have received in donations and emphasizing our commitment to transparency

Membership fees the assets too. And they r supposed to be transparent.

I kindly ask any founder of The Bitcoin Foundation to publish addresses that were used to accept the fees. Especially I'm interested in those that were used to accept payments for Industry Memberships.

PS: Could anyone, plz, quote my request in case I'm put into an ignore list.

Well I'm just putting this up here. Thanks.  Cool

No other currency does this though and it's hard to grasp the part to whole ratio for most non-geeks.

The people on Silkroad are quite familiar with the word milligram (mg) Wink

This is a great point. Seriously. Bitcoin will eventually be closely tied with drug culture.

It is already tied with drug culture.

So is USD.

Well, that's true.
