It would have been cool if at least they would have contacted you.

You are mistaking ROI and break-even (like most do in here).

ROI is the profit ("return") you get from an investment. You can have a low or a high ROI, but if you have a ROI you have reached break-even for sure.

Break-even means you recoup all your investment

Most of people in here uses ROI as a synonym for break even, which is nonsense.

 

As I stated many times I would never support those willing to take from you the right to buy your guns (which I hate, but that doesn't give me the right to BAN them), but nevertheless I do not understand how you can argue in favor of "gun rights" with such stupid (and false) arguments.

There is an undeniable hard cold fact, which is that in countries with more guns per inhabitant, there are more violent death per inhabitant. We've already gone through the cold numbers a few pages ago, and now you can nitpick and make the example of Switzerland (which was already covered too, as nobody carries a gun on the streets and the approach is totally different) or you can make the nitpicked example of this and that state in the US where violent deaths went down after some "gun friendly" law, but that is just a phallacy as you would be missing the big and undeniable world wide picture.

Just a very recent example: http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/teenagers-allegedly-murder-college-baseball-player-boredom-article-1.1431445

Three US teens just murdered a guy making jogging because they were "bored". We hear news like that every few weeks coming from the USA (leaving alone school shooting et al), in the rest of civilized world that shit simply doesn't happen as often. Then, I will make you one question:

- would the guy making jogging have been any safer carrying a gun? He was shot in the back and he didn't even see the shooters.

Plus, is pretty clear to me that the only way you would kill someone "because of boredom" is if you have a gun. Killing someone with a gun from your car and run away might resemble a video game, you may not even see the blood - killing someone with a knife or with your bare hands is a completely different business, first of all is much more difficult, secondly is totally a different mental approach than just shooting someone from the distance and seeing his body fall. A gun is made to kill - if everybody thinks guns are cool and having them is the only way to be free and BLAH BLAH BLAH you will have people who will just want to use them - and they only have ONE use, unlike knives, cars, and so on...

Again, the obvious problem is not "the guns", which are just an object, but the culture in the US - these guys were PLAYING with the fucking gun like is a toy - coming back to the old example, you won't EVER see nothing like that in Switzerland. But, first step to change the culture, is to stop glorifying lethal weapons which only use is to kill a person. They might be a necessary evil, but everybody would be better if they wouldn't exist at all. Acknowledging that would be a good step towards a better world/society. What I see in a lot of NRA folks and so on, is a true LOVE for guns - and that is sick, extremely sick.

EDIT: how retarded has someone to be to proudly upload pics of his firearms to Facebook, or to upload a video like this to the net? https://vine.co/v/b2b20xgBQMe

This is one of the guys that killed the jogging man. That a 15 years old kid easily accesses a firearm and plasy with it like that, uploading videos and pictures on internet of it, is just a synonym of a rotten society. Like Somalia, Zimbabwe, the USA and so on.

Not to any exchange. Cold storage I'd say.

Fixed.

This. It's true that tens of k's are leaving Gox, but they are not showing up on Bitstamp at all. And this have been going on for months now. Just check the order books.

I'm using the BETA, but I get the following error when I try to log in:



BTW, nice site, hope it can go live soon.

Why the text in the OP has been deleted and replaced by a link to a newsletter?

Nice PCB, hopefully they can give us an estimated shipping date for the first units very soon. September is only 10 days away, knowing in which week the first units will ship by the first week of September would be a good sign.

It looks like some negative momentum is building up.

Sturle: just two days ago there were 16M on Gox's order book. And you should have seen much more, it topped to aprox. 23M before the April, 10th crash.

Well, it was bigger indeed. The shocking thing is the quantity of greedy suckers that promoted his obvious Ponzi. The guy knew it was so obvious that joked about it from the very beginning, in fact he really laughed at everybody's face from the moment he chose his nick

Just an example, on the very first page of the thread: "...it could be one big ponzi scheme. its too bad the Bently dealership doesn't take BTC." (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=50822.msg608562#msg608562)

But in fact the guy was so BAD at what he did that he ended up losing everything daytrading (no Bentley I'm afraid, and this is the guy who scammed 700k BTC), when he could have ended up millionaire. But again, what really amazes me is how dozens of people are willing to participate in obvious scams organized by retarded kids just because of greed.

More retarded argument of the day. Did you know about Bitpay? Consumer pays in BTC, company gets USD.

Not accepting BTC is simply ridiculous.

The truth is it seems pretty random. What's obvious is that the "withdrawals are processed in receiving order" is utter BS. Just now some people reports SEPA withdrawals clearing in 15/20 days, some others have been +5 weeks waiting.

You are joking or simply retarded? They have no working ASIC miner, which is the answer to seljo. If they did, they'd show it. I think even Bitcoinorama will agree on this.

FPGA - yes.
ASIC - no.

I would add Patrick Harnett ponzi to the list of thefts and schemes.

Clear. Can you explain how you managed to get the refund? I also requested one (just now), and I'm sure they will answer the usual "all sales are final", etc. which is a joke because I paid for my product +6 month ago and they did not ship anything. That's completely against consumer laws in both US and EU.

Maybe they are, but nevertheless the money flow doesn't allow a quick arbitrage and thus a steady decrease of the spread between exchanges? That could explain why Bitstamp is slowly following upwards, while Gox is just stationary ATM.

Anyhow, let's do not forget that the money flow out from Gox (where the big players still are) is slow. Even if you are a trusted status user, it takes time to withdraw significant money, if you are just verified is simply a joke (max. $10k per day and $50k per month). Add to that the delay in wire clearing (it seems that best case scenario ATM is 10/15 days), and then you have a very inefficient market in which arbitrage is a gamble because of the delays, etc.

I'm not so sure that using Chrome or Firefox on a Linux box is no different than on Windows. There are much more vector attacks on Windows, plus there is much more malware/RATs/viruses coded for that SO. Honestly, Linux might scare a lot of people but Ubuntu and its derivatives made wonders in terms of ease of use... Then you have OSX, which is not invulnerable at all as some think, but in any case is order of magnitude more secure than Windows. I use both OSX and Linux, and I never got any type of malware in aprox. 10 years, and I don't follow any type of special "security protocol", I just disable Java, activate the firewall + a reverse firewall (in OSX Little Snitch, for example), and I scan for viruses files downloaded from untrusted sources (but I never have it running in the background). In Windows, if you do not regularly tweak your system to enforce security, run an antivirus on the background, etc. you will end up with some kind of spyware/malware etc. almost for sure.
