That's 100% bullshit. I've sent 3 large orders in all crypto in the past 3 days and all have been accepted. You must be getting scammed or something, Lol.... Can you post the email headers/source?

Unfortunately, if the coin is being sent by U.S. Post, we do not have any w=

I would like to have a 2011 Casacius Physical Bitcoin graded. The form on y=
our site says the max value for a crypto coin is $100. As Bitcoin is curren=

Everything seems to be really down

The stats are lying. We're mining away, but something broke in my stats script. I'm working on it...

Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks to everyone who has played so far!

There have been 55 orders total and nobody has bought the 30 tickets @ 15% discount yet. 

We are beyond the halfway point. What are you going to do with ~230 BTC?

Just my fucking luck...  My dedicated miner runs for 10 days straight without issue, and on the day that p2pool finds a billion blocks, I come back to a rig that won't give video. Restart and everything is fine and dandy again. WTF is that?!?! It's like every 10-12 days this shit happens and on the day p2pool has good luck, my share count is 1/6 what it typically is. 

Would this also not work well on p2pmining.com ?

Hi VoluntaryMan,

We could point the hashing power to a p2pool node but our miners are not optimized with the proper settings for p2pool. I was also going to use my BFL singles rig to run the contract and they do not work well with p2pool.

My recommendation would be to run the contract on a large pool (deepbit or slush) if you are feeling lucky or abcpool.co if you want to get close to the PPS payout.

GPUMAX is not selling many shares lately so these are the best strategies IMHO.

Best,
gigavps

Take a look at avg block times for the last 5 blocks.

If we find 50% of the block (compared to expected) your payout will be 50% of expected.
If we find 200% of the blocks (compared to expected) your payout will be 200% of expected.

4 days 9 hours left.

What do you think is the best pool to point 50Gh at for a week?

Interesting thread. One thing I was considering is starting an LLC for to operate BitCoin mining rigs under. I have a few other business ideas that I have been floating that could operate under the same LLC and if it worked I would be able to separate my personal finances from the LLC’s I then give myself a salary (in the off chance I actually made money). I doesn’t cost much to start an LLC and it offers some protections from taxes and liabilities. For instance all your equipment and power investment can be written off as a loss. You can also write off the deprecation of your equipment as it ages. I have no idea if any of this is relevant or even worthwhile, it’s just something that was rattling around in my head. 

I use IKEA woodshelves(Is that the right word?)
