All of our equipment is burn tested after final assembly/testing for ~24 hours on a live pool (In this case, EMC). After the burn-in, it's taken off the rack, packed and shipped the same day. We do this for both the singles and the mini rig and the singles PSU's (we've had a few of those go bad, so now we burn those in as well).

We are not mining with any ASIC equipment at the present time. You can be sure there would be a big announcement if we had turned up the ASICs on a live pool.

It's already been proven in court that BFL owned EMC at this point in time.

Just signed up, and I wanted to confirm something real quick.

I set a donation amount to 0.5. The label to the left says "Donation %", so my assumption is that this would mean I've elected to donated half a percent. Is that correct?

Just making sure I didn't read that wrong and accidentally elected to donate 50%, lol.

Yes that is correct. 1/2 percent.

Not at all! I appreciate it very much! It's a heck of a lot more than most people donate. Average donation across all the users of the pool is about .01% hah.

The revelations get murkier from there. For the first time, the public learned that Butterfly Labs runs its own Bitcoin mining pool for testing purposesand the company uses this test pool to make money. [BFL] earns mining income from their burn testing of machines as well as service fees charged to Eclipse customers, documents state. This revelation represents some of the worst fears held by skeptics of BFLthat the company is using its own hardware to profit privately before sending miners to people who actually paid for them.

For those who can't put 2 & 2 together, Josh was kind enough to PM me today asking if I was some sort of Drama Queen that loves getting off spreading lies (paraphrased).

For those who can add 2 + 2, Josh thanked an EMC pool contributor for their donation to his pocket in spite of Josh knowing full well that he didn't own EMC at the time, but was indeed purchased by BFL back in 2012, info unbeknownst to EVERYBODY using EMC until it was revealed a couple months ago.

Please forgive me for lying in this post, but it's my nature ever since I was shut down from stealing barn wood at night. Roll Eyes

Ok... US2 should be catching up now. I am going to pull that server and try to figure out what's wrong with it. I suspect a bad stick of memory at this point.

I have been waiting to get a new US1 server installed as well as bringing back EU and PACRIM... I will try to make that a priority this week.

-EDIT-

*BANGS HEAD* ... the server tech just took the wrong server offline. It will be back up shortly.

We have a new member to Liar's Anonymous. Please introduce yourself and tell the other members why you are here.

My name is Bruno Kucinskas, and I'm a Bitcoiner.

The reason I'm here is because I'm a chronic liar on the BitcoinTalk forum. I can't seem to help myself. I just keep posting lies about BFL, Josh, etc. I hope this group will help me to stop lying.

Dude, I think you're in the wrong group.

It's not your turn to speak, and besides Bruno paid for a month's worth of visits, so don't blow our chances of getting another month's worth of dues outta his ass.
