offline signing of BCC transaction using normal (non-BCC) Electrum

I understand the recommended process to extract BCC form an Electrum wallet: move BTC to new wallet first, install or restore old wallet with Electrum Cash, move BCC coins. Is it possible for Electrum to sign unsigned transactions created by Electrum Cash?

BtcLtcNmc: FC's name has been known for a while.

Regarding the "gifts" to clients and friends, can you please elaborate with your sources and re-post a link to the images? The links you included are to images on your C: hard drive – the internet doesn't work that way.

if mining capacity drops sharply, confirmation may takes forever and kill bitcoin
That isn't the way the bitcoin protocol works. It will adjust to a 10 minute confirmation regardless of the direction difficulty goes.

If network hashrate drops by a small amount - then what you say is correct, if hashrate drops by 90% in an extremely short period of time, it'll take 140 days to confirm all the necessary blocks for the next diff adjustment.
I'm not going to lose sleep over that scenario.

Friedcat and/or board members: Given the implosion/hack/scam of hashie, can you verify that you are getting periodic AM ownership database dumps from Havelock as well (both for AM shares and AMHash), so there is a chance for reconciling share ownership should something happen with Havelock? Thanks.

This company's rating has been updated in the Manufacturer Trustworthiness thread.

[This message won't be monitored, discuss any concerns in the thread.]

I gotta say this is a tad uncalled for... FC has communicated more than ever (well except for the funding and early gen 1 period) over the last weeks or so. The 1/10 points at communication deserve at least something better Cheesy
Well they seem to be bashing their competition via proxies that are all on default trust (and wearing their signature). IMO this is a serious cause for concern
Can you please give more detail on this (examples, links, etc.)? Thanks.

I've done some analysis of the havelock order book, and that sell wall is the same bot that bounces a couple of hundred shares back and forth between bid and ask.

What I hear is the whoosh of wind leaving the profitability sails of other miner manufacturers. It is pretty clear FC is opening a bag of hurt on the SP35 and others. I wouldn't want to try to compete with the cost reduction capabilities of Chinese manufacturers.

In this case it is set to 10 BTC paid every hour, as long as the balance is big enough.
Got it. So the big unknown then is how big the balance is. Based on the block find rate on BTCGuild, I'm pretty sure it is wrong to assume AM has 13 PH.

Although looking at BTCGuild's block find history it doesn't look like it has found blocks in every hour that we've seen the 10 BTC deposits occur. Some hours more than 1 block is found, but in some of the hours no blocks were found (but the 10 BTC still transferred).

I've never used BTCGuild before though; can anyone familiar with their payout options explain what might be occurring?

I am not hating it is just feel like another push the price up for a seconds scheme.
Given how thin the order book is on Havelock, this seems unlikely. That is, given the cost (50BTC at the moment) the price on Havelock would have to increase significantly more (or the order book is going to have to become much more dense) for it to be a profitable manipulation.

Re: ASICMINER TUBE first look :) IKEA style miner first time ever

Looks like they are all daisy chained to the controller into one port?

Can you break the chain into 2 or three chains? That would protect from a bad board knocking
you totally out.

Just a thought.

as an old network dude, I hate bus topology (especially daisy chain). Star is your friend.

it is not like this.
i had one tube offline at chain (unplugged due to power loss) and rest is working
one cutoff dont slice chain, just signals pass the dead tube Smiley

dont forget to reset/power on/off controller after adding/powering on tubes

One of the other people in the GB posted that his would not start until bad board's were removed
thus my assumption.
It will likely depend on how it fails. Some failures will keep the chain up, but some really wonky boards can probably bring everything down. My guess is that (total failure of the chain) would more likely be caused by a malfunctioning board that never works (thus, is identified when it is first tried), and not a marginal board that just flakes out after use.

The Facebook page is a Facebook "fan" page, not an officially run page.

Lots of misinformation on that reddit thread...
