some of us request a btc refund befor shit hit the fan an like i. i have no problem loseing some bntc to exchange rate but since my refund was requested on the 14th i belive my exchange rate should be pretty close to that dates exchange rate not the rate of when he actually feels like paying us refunds
Dave made the suggestion to Tom to take $15 for exchange rate, as this was about the time most bailed out (8-9th of januari). That would be great if he did that. But rather loose some on exchange then have no refunding in BTC at all !
I assuming the people that have all this "trust" in Tom stuck with their order (and him) even after his drunken rants, selling the company to "the Asians", missed meetings with people that wanted to help out, started betting BTC that he can have shit delivered in March, offered zero proof on anything, and then ceased all communication for awhile.. then decide to shut it all down..
Did you have a pre-order with bASIC ? I think I recognize you. Were you not the second one on the left of me on the skydive picture? Just because you did not have a nigerian parachute, doesn't mean you have to shout that loud.....
I paid with BTC but I share this attitude, not yours 100%digital !
If you paid $ 1070, you'll get back $1070. If you payed with BTC, you paid also $1070. If you paid in EUR, you'll paid $1070!
If that ment 60BTC and now its only 50BTC, the same is for EURO. That was maybe 860,- and now you will get back 840,-.
If you didn't buy a bASIC in sept, but bought BTC, you would now have about $1500 instead of $1070. So it all does not matter.
If you buy a new car, never drove it and sell it half a year later, you also lost some money.
Stop wining about that.
And for Tom: I don't know what you are doing, but DO THE BTC PAYMENTS! Or at least let us know WHEN you are going to do that (and go through with that without delays).

They could try to forbid Bitcoin outright, but if they did that it would go underground and stop nothing, which would expose their own impotence.
I do not think they can forbid Bitcoin, because all the negative things (money laundry, drugs, illegal payments, criminal activities) also apply to CASH. They haven't forbidden cash money right?
Be carefull when using a laptop's GPU to mine. If you have a desktop, you can replace the videocard when you burn it. If you blow (overheat) you GPU of your laptop, you can throw it in your trashcan. Would be a waist if it is a modern laptop!
You are starting a new business? So I presume you're business will have to pay for the electricity. Doesn't that mean indirectly that YOU are paying your own electricity?
I suggest you would have a look at the ASICS. The hashrate of the cards you specify, 7970, do about 700Mhash. That is (with 3 cards) 2,1 Ghash/sec. That would do almost nothing compared to the ASIC miners which do 50-60Ghash.
And with the expected bitcoin hashrate to go up from 25THash right now to 150THas one month after the ASICS have come to the market, you're 7970 will do nothing anymore... not even a BTC a month!
If you have those cards right now, go for it. If you want to buy them, I wouldn't bet on it. Wrong investment with no ROI at all...

Running only a HD5850 for one and a half year now. only 4-4,5 BTC last month. Has been 7-8 in july 2011. But as difficulty rises....
After two months, I had even found a block. For more than one year waiting for the second one... happily I am not solo mining anymore...

Everyone has an old computer somewhere. Just reinstall that one cleanly, install AV software on it and only use it for bitcoins. If you do not use that computer for surfing or other things, it is perfectly secure for storing your wallet. Have bitcoin-qt on there and - if you have a lot of bitcoins - store them in Armory on that PC. Use that for your savings.
You can have a bitcoin-qt on your everyday-use computer for your pettycash. If you are a miner, let the pool send the credits to your pettycash account. When there is some value in there, send it over to you dedicated savings BTCPC.
If you need some bitcoins for spending, just send it from your savingsBTCPC to your everydayPC's pettycash wallet and do your payments with that one.
With Armory, you can even PRINT ON PAPER your private keys. No more backups, you have your private key printed out! (or save it on a dedicated USB stick you do not use for other things).
What if all your systems die on you? Get a new computer, install bitcoin-qt. Let it update the bitcoinchain (yes, wait a couple of days, unfortunally). Install Armory and fill in your private keys from the printed paper. Your back in business.
If you make sure your bitcoin-qt wallet on the savingsBTCPC is empty (ie, all is in the Armory) and you have little or none BTC in your pettycash PC (or have a backup of the wallet.dat), you do not lose a dime.
Onlinewallets, suite yourself. I do not want to be depending on third parties security settings. I want to have it in my own control. Ok, I have some BTC and Euro's at MTGOX. I know.... but that's just my pettycash.
