BFL fucked us over again (redux)

[Gleb Gamow]

Mike has a Cayenne (pretty sure) and I'm off to buy a Jeep with BTC today. W000t. Go BTC.

Porche, Mercedes, whatever.  All about the same to me...they are just a 'rob me' or 'audit me' banner as far as I am concerned.

I actually used to be pretty into cars, but somehow that interest just died.  Even when it did exist, though, I never did have much desire for new or fancy or expensive rides.  Tiny sports cars where my chief interest though I always had a weakness for rough terrain vehicles as well.  I drove a first generation MR2 for some number of years.  It was one of my favorite cars ever, but I started out with front wheel drive and never could get to feeling comfortable with real wheels drive when doing 'things' with it.  Plus the thing was twitchy as hell with a racing suspension.  You'll be looking out the rear view mirror to see where you are going in a fraction of a second.  I would carve through mountain roads with amazing grace which was fun.  Around that time I raced a Honda RS125 for a short period.  Even being out of tune it was the most amazing machine I've ever operated.  Light as a feather and contained nothing unnecessary for the goal of getting round a road course as quickly as possible.  It was like riding a scalpel and one felt that they could do anything on it.

If Bitcoin has another big pop left, I'll probably get a boat in addition to other things.  One many not be surprised to find out that I would look for an old wooden fishing boat in good condition which I would prefer to a yacht.  I'd take any boat which has an Atlas engine.

Well I got my  Jeep Grand Cherokee today, nothing flashy and not my first choice but they took BTC so all is good:)

You bought a car with btc in thailand?

Nice one

No, it was at a Jeep dealership in the USA. Someone posted a thread about them taking BTC here on this forum, it is how I found out about them. Once I get the vanity plates I will make a thread about it. I'm going to write up a pretty good review, I hope they get more business.

the Texas dealership, right?

Goat bought a jeep at Overland Jeep because he read a thread here about them. My guess would've been that Sonny told Goat about his cousin owning a dealership. Luckily, I didn't guess that because I would've been mistaken.

I wonder if Courtney N. Pierce is aware of Sonny Vleisides' private stash over on Mt Gox.

Looks like the Mining by the GH/s crowd will need to start worrying...



Either the units have progressively failed and they can't replace them OR they are turning them off over time.

What do you think? I'd like to know your comments on this.

https://eclipsemc.com/

In May it was at the high 1900's, now we are in the low 1600's.
That is roughly a 25% decrease in ~2 months.
At this rate I expect the viability of their mining operation to come into doubt in the next 2 months. If not sooner.

To me that looks like a slide to MTBF but who knows???  Oh, I know, anyone who did proper testing on their device before unleashing its Sh!tTard3Ry on the market .....

Yes, my friends over at #AskLEO are probably wondering who owns those miners, and if BFL, how are they laundering the bitcoins mined.
