Some people have stated that batch 3's have a slightly different design? I have a 4 module on order and i'm wondering what 1000W+ psu's can fit in it? The only option I have so far is based on the 175mm limit on the avalon wiki:
if you had the avalon in hand to ship same day. you would NOT be asking these questions or be stating just yesterday that ur avalon is 'on order'

average users want to trade 0.1BTC-10BTC at a time.($10-$1000)
banks want to trade 100BTC-......... ($10k-.......)
so far watching mtgox charts. these rare 100btc-5000btc orders are 'walls' and not easy to eat up, gone in seconds orders which banks are use to.

Lol. I can imagine something similar to The Wire. A large Bitcoin holder buys up a bunch of homes. Turns them in to stash houses, hires a gang of youngsters and gives them each burner phones as well as a bitcoin address. The gang peddles drugs and hands over the loot to a cleaner who launders the money through bitcoin. The gang gets payed weekly through their bitcoin address. Sounds like a good cypherpunk book. check out the username finshaggy.. this is something right up his street. he loves making up stories about drugs and dreams of a uptopian town made using bitcoins..

$200 million from the UK football (soccer) team owner of Tottenham Hotspur, to be used to create the next gen of ASIC's 20nm chips..
hmm i wonder how many Thashs that will buy him.
knowing that there is only 3600 coins made a day or 1.3m a year it will take 2 years to break even, and thats with nabbing EVERY coin. which we know to be impossible as that above the 51% safe zone. so lets make it atleast 4 years to break even. (hedging that the price will remain constant or rise.)
this guy is not in it for a quick in and out 6 month profit. he is in it for the long haul, unless bitcoin doubles or goes to $1000 a coin in a short period.
this news is definitely going to kick the markets off..

from what i remember of reading the subforum to do with mining hardware.
bitsyncom updated his support system and said that anyone without replies after x date should repost a new support ticket. the other option is to find his username profile and send a private message to check up on the refund status giving him the march date in which he promised a refund etc

disappeared? you mean you put them down, walked away and when you returned it was missing?
have you tried contacting the T-Mobile store to see if a courteous person handed it in?
i know america is not known for this and it is more likely to appear at a local electronics pawn brokers or something.
but the main lesson to learn is that even in a public place with many eyes, its always best to never leave anything unattended

That's a shame, but I'm glad some white-hats found the vulnerability.
the vulnerability was always there, which is why those smart people were only buying them as a novelty piece for historic sake, not circulatory sake. everyone knows that it only takes a bit of water/ heat or a combination of both (steam) to mess around with the adhesive on a sticker..

not sure where people are thinking that the UK is the hardest.. i just bought some bitcoins using bitbargain.co.uk
wire transfer to receiving bitcoins took less then 10 minutes.
what i do find hard though is getting FIAT into an american based exchange. but getting a bitcoin from england is even easier then most countries.

lol if he cannot get it from his doctor and needs it online (silkroad) and the symptoms are anxiety.. then its obvious he is after weed. has he ever thought that weed is the cause of the anxiety.
for long term help i would say, carry on with your cold turkey. if worse comes to worse then go see a doctor.
also to add, if you need to buy it online then its not really an emergency. due to delivery times.. true anxiety is not something that you can patiently wait a few days for, ud have gone to see a doctor or found something in your own home to sell to guy it locally the same day.
guys like you without $10 to rub between your fingers should definitely be taking a long look at your life and work out a way to get out of the hell hole you are in.

mobile ATM, great for meetups. no installation required

why even post something like this.
unless you have evidence from the horses mouth so to speak, leave all speculation where it lies.

im smelling something fishy....this has got scam wrote all over it. my advice. NEVER download third party software on the system that has your wallet. i love the way they say don't trust an internal built in software, but trust this unlisted program that's not been tested and made by the person trying to promote it.. ... or other virtual keyboards now that is also saying not only is microsoft built in keyboard risky but using anyone else's creation is. this is the standard scare tactic people use to force people to use their program and only their program. if your scam radar is not bleeping with what was said in the OP then i suggest you check out a few of the 'sales pitches' these scam artists use to update your awareness. if you truly are paranoid, you can always program your own virtual keyboard with a few lines of code in visual basic

Pretty clear this Thailand story is bogus now.
But I wonder what effect it would have on prices if a country like USA decided to somehow impose a ban on Bitcoins?
Would it take a short dive and then bounce back, have a lasting impact, or make no noticeable difference to the value. Any thoughts?
how i see it. is this in the US it is illegal to hunt animals..... in the US it is illegal to wire transfer large amounts as a business on customers behalf..... .... unless you have a licence. i believe this is the first step towards thailand adopting the same bureaucracy of the western world. adding licences and regulation. at the moment there are no licences for money transmission but they do ask what is the money being transmitted being used for, which there is a limited amount of purposes allowed. EG sending funds to family members. foreigners sending funds home. etc.

there was a company that had a mining pool that anyone could join and all hashing rewards went to buy goats for charity. this was a very noble idea until the maths came to reality. the mining pool was quoting that it cost in the region of $120 for a goat. it will donate 100 percent of the proceeds to Heifer International, which provides animals to families to help alleviate hunger throughout the world. For every $120 raised through the Bitcoin mining, they’ll be able to send a goat to one family. yet the reality is that it only costs $25, through the same suppliers that the guys doing this project intended to use. this basically meant that hashing power was only 20% affective of helping the world and 80% at making profit for the project/pool opperators. and the name of the people behind this noble cause that turned into a sham coinlab

also to add while ASIC miners were selling off their 1.6BTC a day mining income for $90/btc($144) quite happily, knowing they are getting an income higher then national minimum wage per week.
miners are now seeing difficulty jumps and beginning to hoard or at least rethink a fair value for their coins. along with the remaining GPU farmers and those eager investors in spring time that got coins for over $200, they will all start to put a minimal sale price in mind of $120 upwards.
.............possibly
speculation can be anything if it sounds plausible

this is alot more acceptable intro into bitcoin for us UK folk. in comparison to an amir taaki attempt anyways.
fair play to the guy from carpediem

it really would be better if Erik Voorhees or Jon Matonis did these types of interviews.
I agree, Amir is great at what he does but it is not public facing amir 10:30:- "your bitcoins are stored on your computer,..."
i would prefer him to say "bitcoins are everywhere on the network, they are not in one location. what you do have though is your private key to access your funds on your computer. this key is cryptographically secured, and with the bitcoins themselves not being stored in any one location, goverment entities cannot freeze or steal the funds from any one location." 16:00:- i face palmed as soon as he brought silk road into the topic.. she wanted to know about college. he should have just said "yes, meet up with someone locally and exchange bitcoins for FIAT to pay college fee's"

i don't think it is the law at all. if anything i think it is the banks of thailand agreeing to make any wire transfers to known bitcoin exchanges, be classed as high risk. it would be more at aiming to stop businesses from getting money transmitter licences within thailand to set up exchanges.
there is nothing stopping people going to an ATM withdrawing their baht and meeting up at a local bar/coffee shop to do a paper fiat for bitcoin exchange.
just be careful trying to do wire transfers from a thai bank into places like mtgox/bitstamp
