Exactly, what manager is going to defend that feature azhead of their bonus? If you really want the feature to stay in, they have to really want it too.

Software never makes it to ideal, someone always releases it...

Has anyone heard anything about an exception process for these that cannot log in?

I have been unable to log in using my username or email, and the account reset link is returning an Internal Server Error message.

I've sent an email to support@glbse.com, but have not received a response yet.

Help!

Given the standard trust level he established I waited till I could get to get a secure VM running before following the link.

Very interesting, some listing are as low as 40k, some have I story and capital as well. Thanks for pointing it out. Not that I'm in position to take advantage of it, but others might be able to see a business plan that would work.

I'm glad I didn't have to buy Pizza in your neighborhood!

And if you cannot log in...

Nope, still screwed right now.

Password reset is nonfunctional and my credentials are not working.

Wow, obtuse much?

So you are thinking $120k range?

Seems like the cost/benefit ratio should tip over that before too long, I wonder how much pent up demand will cause weirdness in the meantime.

WHAAAAT?

Congrats, you just got my first ignore for that gem.

I do not now, nor have I ever been demonstrably shown to have rectal-cranial inversion syndrome, and your personal, unwarranted attack is both nonsensical and uncouth.

The Securities and Exchange Comission is charged with ensuring trust among parties, it may not be perfect, but it allows me to trade real money with a lot of confidence that all my investments meet certain minimum standards.

The Madoff's of this world (who manage to work inside the lines) are a lot less numerous than the Pirates (who would be sunk in 10 seconds in a wall street brokerage.)

Enjoy your ignorance, I won't be sullying your fantasy world any longer.

Swing and a miss.

MarkM has an application that will allow his customers to perform trades with the securities that are issued by the guys taking tests. If a few other firms open up they can cooperate on an OT trust web.

They just have to do it INSIDE the existing framework if they don't want to face potential Jail Time in addition to being shut down.

The trick in the real world is to find a grey area on the edge of existing regulations and get a bunch of folks to put a bunch of money behind it. This money translates into influence and gets regulations updated to affirm the grey area operation as legal. This is what happened with Kickstarter, and within the next decade we should see a few more steps forward, but no government in the first world is going to tolerate folks getting cheated in unregulated securities and losing value.

Think of government regulations as programs executed by people. If you refuse to leverage the right APIs you won't get the response you want. If you start behaving badly enough, you get labeled as a virus/convict and quarantined. just because is is white collar fraud instead of burglary makes it no less of a crime.

In the case of securities regulations they are there because of hundreds of years of clever assholes, you have a lot of learning to do if you want to surpass them.

That thread answered my big question too, they will not be using the new gear for the first batch, it is for follow-on batches.

Yes, I've lost about 1% of the RAM I buy for our data center, sometimes it just stops or starts corrupting data and has to be replaced. At home I've had a few sticks fail over the years, but the last one was 1st generation BGA PC150, so I've been luckier recently. 

FYI, if you have random crashes that don't trace back to drivers, try some different RAM, you might be surprised.

Why are you digging up this drek?

Added an option for those that have never withdrawn and don't have an address set.

Sorry I missed that one, kinda obvious in retrospect. Please update your vote if this is a more accurate status.

Thanks All!

I know my last withdrawal address was for a payment, but that account is square and closed, so I maynhave to convince someone to give me my own money back.  I'm worried that others are in the same or similar boat.


It is completely uncertain what mechanism is being used to issue refunds, so there may or may not be a risk associated with your last withdraw address. I'm simply trying to get some data together on the potential impact.

Please limit this thread to descriptions of how you will or will not be impacted by this setting. You can change your vote, if you do please update your existing post with the reasons.

Thanks Everyone!

You need a unique reference to run a business, the customer needs that reference as well. The best they could do is obfuscate it (with double SHA2?) or something, but why would makers of web-store software even care about that in a general case? Outside this fishbowl community attempting to decode order numbers is generally a futile exercise, so why expend the effort on the feature?

Cough. Oracle. Cough.

Nobody is immune from bad installer decisions, larger companies just have more inertia, and tend to get stuck longer.

So when a company says "we are installing additional capacity to expand production" when should they make the announcement? After they make the decision? After they pay for the gear? After they receive it? After they verify function? After they run their first production units on it?

Generally when I hear that phrase from customers/suppliers/partners it is used immediately after the decision is made. The CEO gets on the earnings call and tells us how they are expanding, and THEN the company executes (or completes) the strategy of getting the gear onsite, up, running, and productive.

Both statements are true, one is just more precise than the other.

Well, if you are looking for 100% you might want to look for another hobby. A major reason that BTC is exciting to many folks is that it is still in a state of growth, and everyone at this point can be considered an innovator or early adopter as far as the overall developing economy is concerned. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_adoption_lifecycle) Because of this early stage, the rules, regulations, and limits of what you can do with BTC are very loose and ill-defined, which in turn leads to:

OPPORTUNITY!

100% certainty is going to exist only in mature, and often ossified, systems that are already "loaded" in favor of the incumbents in the market (see: Regulatory Capture) and the margins are thin.

BitCoin offers far lower certainty, but you have huge opportunities like a potential future with $100 or $1000 value, which helps make up for the chance that I might to lose the whole thing.

Something else you can see played out here is the "Hype Cycle" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hype_cycle) with an overall BitCoin trough starting in preparation for the block reward halving, overlaid with an ASIC hype cycle that is in a trough before anything actually ships.

After 20 years in IT, I can tell you that BFL passes my BS test, but ordering today from them is more of a crapshoot because of shipping backlog than anything else.

To everyone who thinks that the only 2 options are "Legitimate or Scam" (I know, very small, very vocal %) you migh want to consider that you are spending so much time on the wring questions, that you will forget to ask the right ones. For instance, I have a big new concern after seeing this thread.

BFL: Are you using this equipment to manufacture preorders? When do you anticipate starting production using the new gear?

I ask this out of genuine business concern. If BFL is just getting their first pieces of high speed equipment, then there are 2 (likely) options:

• They have already gotten the boards for the first few batches prefabbed, and this is for future runs/products
• They have no boards yet, and need to start running this equipment ASAP

I'm hoping that it is the former, since I'm assuming that this stuff is a bit more than Plug-n-Pray to get up and running. They do mention an experienced team, but do they specialize in urgent turn-ups of this gear. Who knows, maybe these are they same guys that fed the machines at their previous home.

Since I'm not an employe, stockholder, or board member of BFL I really don't expect them to feel obligated to answer my questions, but if they do I will have a bit better information. Of course so will their competition, who may elect to change their own plans in response and remove the advantage BFL was trying to establish with the purchase of this equipment.

Trying to be a community member while also feeding your family (and employees families) with a for-profit enterprise is a difficult balancing act. The standards of this community around certain things is out of line with typical business expectations. 90% is information that I see shared under NDA in the IT world, but this forum is not exactly NDA...

Wow, your website needs 60 Billion encryptions per second? Or even 4.5? You must be bigger than google.

The problem to most uses of double SHA-256 is the scale difference. Nobody is going to spend $1300 on some thing that they can do with a CPU without noticing the load.

The only workload being built today that can leverage the ASICs in the pipeline today is AltCoins. Some like PPCoin are even avoiding merged mining, which means that you should be able to follow an optimal difficulty path if you really want to have alternatives.

Good to know, thanks.

Still a bit of a beast for the average user, but it holds at least >$100 value for now.

What? 1 way to make ASIC? Have you SEEN how many bitstream variations have come out? Even at the most basic level you have the decision between laying down a sea of hashes or a few pipelines per chip. Then you look at the various processes available. Is this a FPGA hardcopy which only really has 1 customer mask added to a standard FPGA-like common set of base layers? Is it a full-custom ASIC laid down transistor by transistor by hand? By algo? By using an HDL? Now take a couple dozen possible optimizations for performance, effiency, OR die size, and you have a few thousand different combinations that could be produced today.

It Is a lot more like making an airplane than you seem to realize, or at least like producing an engine, be it finely tuned, or a big lumbering diesel.

There have been some really good technical mudslinging threads about what constitutes a true full custom ASIC, but there is no question that more than one solution is really being produced. The chances of them all coming out if the same factory in China is not even remotely likely.

OTOH, the chances that there will be at least 2 ASIC options that have the same chip are nearly 100%. I've seen at least one reference to a design being shared, but I'm mobile so I don't have a link handy.
