Already set mine to False and they still beep on occasion, I think it's something that should be fixed in software rather than butchering the internals.

a drop of suprlue on the opening of the buzzer should do the trick

Assuming you meant Superglue, that counts as butchery in my book Smiley

How can you (definitively) tell which batch your order was in?

Re: Announcement: Bitmain launches AntMiner solution, 0.68 J/GH on chip

Order expired despite having sent funds to Bitmain address on order. Can someone at Bitmain look into this for me?

Same thing happened with my order.  This happened fairly often 6 months ago or so.  You would hear people mention/complain about it fairly regularly.  Has something to do with the Blockchain API. 

I *thought* they fixed it, or at least, I thought they updated the site so if you had at least *one* confirmation on the blockchain before your "hour deadline" was up, the system gave you more time instead of demanding 6 confirms in an hour...or whatever...but yeah, the problem appears to be back at a particularly unfortunate time.

Anyway, like I said, you're not alone -- I ran into the same problem.  In my case, I got 6 confirmations in about 50 minutes; but the Bitmain website still moved me to "paid/expired" anyway, so I don't know *what* the threshold is at this point.  But in the past, Bitmain always was good about fixing this -- just PM him and email webmaster@bitmaintech.com or info@bitmaintech.com and tell them your order and transaction ID.  This is the first time I've had this problem actually affect me personally, but I've seen it happen to more than enough people to not start panicking quite yet. Smiley

Also remember that it's 01:58 in China right now, so you need to give Bitmain a few more hours to wake up and read/reply to all the PMs and emails.  Sometimes it helps to post your order in the thread; so I guess we'd might as well do that part so the Bitmain rep can let us know we're confirmed/okay when they get back online.

Bitmain: Can you please confirm my "expired/paid/valid/invalid" order #00120140630135825601wjzCCJF50696 (see my PM for transaction ID and other details) is okay and still scheduled to ship with everyone else's? Thanks!

All good advice, order seems to have been fixed as of this morning. Smiley

Qubit didn't seem cost effective to mine once GPU miners came out for it, I switched to Primecoin(XPM) for CPU.

Calling it a scam doesn't actually make it a scam, you're getting ahead of yourself. Unless of course you have some type of time-travel machine in which case I stand corrected.

That being said, 'tests' like this are needed.

For the the first time in a very long time, I can see how MtGox could possibly come out of this smelling of roses...

Although this observation is a bit OT, there seems to be a vast difference in literacy, temperament (with a couple of unfortunate exceptions) and the understanding of really quite simple concepts depending on which side of the NXT fence people are situated.

(In case anyone is unsure, the above was meant as a pro NXT comment)

There's a reason coins like Peercoin didn't go for 100% initial distribution: because it's completely retarded. Roll Eyes

Exactly.  Hybrid PoW/PoS is actually legitimate.  A 100% IPO PoS coin is just a money grab scam.  There's absolutely no reason whatsoever to use the latter.

Actually, bypassing the need for mining is reason enough. I would agree however that NXT's IPO was very poorly implemented and didn't need to involve money at all.

how many original miners mined btc at the beginning and gained thousands of btc? The old unfair ipo statement is no longer a valid comment. Yawn. Heck i guarantee ull regret turning your nose up at nxt within the NXT months. haha
Nearly every other alt coin that appears is essentially premined before hitting the exchanges so whats your problem with nxt at least we had 71 peeps instead of one guy minning shit coins with an asic. 
Im probally not gonna change ur mind but hey im not bothered your missing ou not me. Just wait and see when btc and alts cease to exist anymore due to only handling 7 transactions per second. Nxt will be blitzing 1000 transactions per second. Boom visa/mastercard terrority. Thats why NXT will succeed. Have fun minning dead coins bro


To be fair to BTC, the 7 transactions per second limit is an artificial limit that can be raised.

"Can be" will be? Just like coloured coins can be added? Btc is old and dated dude old technology now. Granted nxt needed bitcoin to exist. But the whole "dirty" way of generating blocks is just awful and then theres the whole 51% attacks. Nxt is resilliant to 90% attacks. Its time for a new generation of crypto to take the reins. Dont get me wrong i dont dislike bitcoin its just ultimatley flawed. Nxt fills the nxt spot. I mean have you seen the nxt nodes running on a solar powered rasberry pi? Times are changing. Change with them or get left behind. Again im not pushing nxt on u completley upto yourself. But dont just read a scam comment about ipo and leave it at tht. Give nxt an hour while ur waiting on btc confirms to learn a bit more.

Umm... speaking as a sizeable NXT stakeholder you are preaching to the converted. My comment was intended to be a balanced view, as the Bitcoin protocol is open to modification too. Everything else in your tirade just goes to prove that you lack objectivity, and really shouldn't be seen in a thread intended to promote understanding of NXT.

I think that we all should start to talk about mBTC (millibitcoin) instead of BTC, in order to continue Bitcoin adoption. What do you think about it?

In my opinion, it would be a very good change in bitcoinity.org/markets... The price would be 1,08 USD/mBTC. Wink

This feature request gets my vote too, just have it as an option under preferences so as not to annoy the traditionalists too much Smiley

looks like it all went well!

Seriously!!!

I honestly can't believe how well that went either, the whole panel managing to keep their objectivity even when presenting issues that usually send the media types into a frenzy.

There's a good chance (imho) that this entire presentation will become historically significant. Or maybe I'm just getting caught up in the moment Wink
