Shut my farm down at the end of May.  I'm on a tiered electrical plan and comfort became more important than profit. I live in a hot state and need the AC on. Now what to do with this almost worthless gear? 2.6TH/s of misc  lol...

Dont know if I want to hassle with shipping or not. This stuff can probably just collect dust in the basement. It served me well.

Stole when, Linux or Windows, from where ( client or exchange)? Any kind of problem do you want to tell us?



it was Windows Wallet on my desktop, only thing I know is they were sent to them addresses. Also my Bitcoin Talk account was taken and I made this new one.

Out of curiosity..  Did you have any team-viewer interaction with anybody before your coins were stolen?

5chip price very tempting
oem quotes for 10, 20, 100?

and... Escrow/Paypal?

We have a partner of ours that will take paypal for a additional fee, but prefer not to use escrow unless its 50+, I and Thomas_s have done 7+ digits worth of sales and refunds here, dont really feel its necessary.

I have done multiple transactions With Bobsag3 and Thomas_s. Never Have I had a Problem. I have purchased miners from Bobsag3 and have used his hosting service, all was well. If I was in the market for the things they sell I would not hesitate to do business with them. You have no reason to believe me but what I say is true. No escrow necessary.

According to the ruling, solo miners could face as much as a 40% tax penalty, depending on thier tax bracket.

For sure the Self Emlployment tax of about 13% and Medicare Tax of about 3% will be due.

Corporations do not face this however.

My %.02.

Wink

Dutchman, Nice to see you again. I am really missing something here. Why would income tax from coins gained from solo mining be any higher than income tax from coins from a pool.  Isnt it all income (cost basis calculated) from the time it was received all the same?

BTW I had a hefty tax bill for 13. I did not become a corporation until mid Dec. Made allot of mistakes last year that I paid dearly for but understand the whole thing much better now..

"When we receive the chips" and "Shipping Q1/Q2" seem to be two totally different timelines.

work on full mask of a 20nm chip is at least 130 days, as I have previously stated, so why can't Kurt allow us some more transparency on the schedule?
IF; KnC were "On Schedule" why does the 'on schedule' that we have been informed differ so much from the 'on schedule' that they clearly know about.

demand Plan B, demand it now.

They are making half a million dollars a day self mining their DC - they aren't going to give that away to customers they don't give a crap about just because the customers they don't give a crap about demand it Grin As I've said many times before, knc have nothing but contempt for their customers. They just see them as annoying idiots/imbeciles with wallets to take advantage of. We'll see this play out again for sure.

it's ludicrous. announcing a safety net option, then letting you hang just long enough till the netting rots that when you do fall, you go crashing to the floor in a great big thump of negative ROI. Even if the Neptune is 5TH, it's going to be so close to rollout of 16nm (171 days mask time) rigs that it's only going to viable for a very short space of time, and will never return what it cost. I'd love to be wrong but it's not looking good, not looking good whatsoever.
As the poster above, i want you to be profitable and by the best will in the world, I wish you all the luck possible.

As you, I also wish all who have held their orders to make as mush profit as possible. For you I hope the price of BTC skyrockets as I think that will be the only way to make it. I have been mining with my jupiter/ant farm at 2.6TH/s and at this point I am scratching out about .2 BTC a day. Its not really looking good for me anymore. Watch the goods for sale or the auction section. I will have Jupiters over there soon. Scratch the .2, Last 24 hours .15.. Yes the luck on the guild has been sucking.

Hi, could you send us priv msg. with user name  then we may be able to help you.


The problems I was having can be disregarded. I dont know WTH the issue was but my wallet kept crashing today. After the third attempt to sync, all coins showed up. Lets just chalk it up to a stupid user trick. Undecided

Re: [ANN] TAKEICOIN - SHA256 - Kimoto Gravity Well - Media Machine
by
Ridicuss
on 08/03/2014, 14:42:22 UTC
So I spent the better half of last night working on updating our project to reflect the name of Takeicoin. As I've mentioned in some other posts - my friends and I are looking to take over this project and re-brand the image of Takeicoin moving forward.

Please keep in mind this is just a rough draft - the idea would go as follows;

We pronounce the coin Tak- and the letter E.

Takei would actually be the logo/mascot of our brand. We have been working on some design concepts for what Takei would look like but we have pretty much narrowed it down to what we would like to have going forward.

The brand itself is The Takei Project - our primary goal is to raise awareness of charitable animal organizations around the world.

We are going to have a kickass website! I myself work for a webdesign agency that does some really high quality work. I'll be leveraging that resource to make a website that will not only will talk about our project/Takeicoin itself but the site will also have an e-commerce store tied in where you can buy Takei merchandise. We already have an inventor in mind and with every $1 spent in our e-commerce store - we donate $.25 to any charity of the buyer's choosing around the world.

Also, going back to The Takei Project. In helping raise awareness for charities around the world. If they sign up with our team (which is 100% free) we will add their story to our website - and every month one charity will win $5,000 donation in the form of Takei coin.
We are also going to match any donation up to X%. The idea would be if you or someone you knew was already going to donate say $100 to the Animal Humane Society and they donate with Takeicoin - we will happily donate an additional $2-3 to that same organization.

--------------------------

That was kind sketch of our idea. We have had this idea for awhile - and we've been raising some capital to get this idea off the ground. As of yesterday we were just planning on creating our own coin - but after seeing the team just quit on Takeicoin yesterday I figured - why not just take over this coin. The way I look at it, the soul has died but the body is still warm. People are mining it, its on exchanges - its developed. So my hope is to buy everything from the previous team and get this website up and running. From there we will just spend most our time getting PR for the project/coin.


As posted a few pages back. I liked the idea of calling it TakeICoin, as in Take Initiative Coin. Thank you for trying to rebrand this and move forward with it. It can still do a lot of good in the correct hands without George. We don’t need to defame him, but it would be nice to help others and not be associated with him at all. I'm not against the main cause this coin was developed for but I would at this time put his most important causes at the bottom of the list. But then again, I guess I am just sour and a spiteful person at this point.

Edit, credit for the Take Initiative Coin name: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=452902.msg5579804#msg5579804

I don't think you are very far from the mark.

This forum is absolutely full of invaluable information but it may be buried in a thread that is 3000 pages long. Good luck finding what you need. The search button does work but it would be nice if just reading a thread didn't take the effort of reading a novel. I have to admit, I have been part of the problem in the past, I am changing my ways.

The pitchforks are the ones that feel they were scammed or did get scammed. There is a lot of hate and mistrust here towards some vendors and individuals. Promises that were not fulfilled or at least were not understood correctly.

alt coins is full people trading and newbs getting shafted. Live and learn.

Hang around a while, I think it will grow on you.

If he could produce ASICs that Mine and cools the air it would be a big hit! Especially here in Arizona. My Electric bill will hit $400 a month here in about 3 months.

How many TH/s you running?

I live in your State and paid $384 this month. Didnt have to turn the heater on at all but we are a little unseasonably warm.
