I spoke to one of their CSR's in China over chat yesterday. When I asked if they had the 5Gh units ready to ship they said "yes". When I asked if they could ship it out tomorrow if I pay right now, they said "no, 2 months". This seems ambitious but possible since they now have their manufacturing up and are learning how to box and ship.
Hah...the're probably learning about how to mine coins  . So I think, their answer could be "we do testing, testing, and testing all of your units/miners, untill we reach full satisfaction". I hope their satisfaction will be less than a hundred mlns $$$, which they maybe mine right now.. otherwise all BFL buyers will wait too long  |

Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

Just figure it out, how much coins may be mined now. Let's go to http://bfl.ptz.ro/ and check out, unofficial BFL Orders site shows 4,4k orders with total 286,937 GH/s. Can you believe that - $1,565,747 gone every day!!! just if we use average current rates.. |

Butterfly labs should be shut down today.
Why? And by whom? |

Why? And by whom? Right. I was thinking that there are many other alternatives. |

Butterfly labs is awesome at scamming
I thought they were shipping now? Or is that all BS? I was very tempted to buy one at one stage but just went with 2 7970's instead... I am very impatient and I would like to mine some coins before they all run out! lmao |

The bigger problem is that "transaction volume" is decreasing down to what it was when bitcoins were selling for $10 per 1 BTC.
Has no-one noticed this yet?
Unless we convince more places to "use bitcoins", with the many easy integration toys out there... (buy now buttons, web-shop integration, etc...) and convince them that is the ONLY way we intend to pay... also suggesting a decent transaction fee, where possible... (If the pool operators would be kind enough to share those too.)...
Then there will be ZERO transactions...
Zero transactions = Zero blocks found... Even if you have a 400THs machine... Zero transactions = 0THs, without a block to build.
We will all soon see...
"Waiting for work, miners idle. AVG: 0GHs"
You want to make money MAKING coins.. then YOU have to promote them... to use them... not just stock-pile them and "hope" the value rises, and people are still willing to pay that high price.
I joke, and ask everyone this...
"Got change for a few bitcoins?"
"Too bad you don't take bitcoins, I'd buy a lot more."
"Have you heard about bitcoins? Someone gave me one the other day..."
Stop telling people how EASY it is to make them, and start talking about how they can use them to buy crap. You are just decaying your own future value, inviting more miners here, and helping them take your portion of the pie faster!

Maybe if some of the rumblings regarding legislation to register ownership of precious metals comes to fruition, there will be a larger demand for Bitcoins as a store of wealth. I know I'm seriously thinking about it.

Huh? Where'd you hear that from, the registration? I know our pseudo pres is trying to say that the internet fuels extremism and that he's trying to control it. Heck telegrams fuel extremism, people riding around on horseback fuel extremism, i.e. "The British are coming!" Bumper stickers fuel it. There's no end to the governments reach when it comes to security. I digress. Point being, the big O is trying to control bitcoins by controlling the internet. And the public is oblivious. Actually makes me comfortable knowing what I know and actually doing something about it. |

As a non BFL-purchaser the longer it takes the better for the rest of my Miners  But how many miners did you put off buying because of the uncertainty? |

As a newbie, I'm curious. I realize I should have just googled this, but I'll ask anyway. How many large Internet retailers have started accepting BTCs? Are there any organizations out there pushing for more mainstream adoption of BTC? |
