AntMiner and Spondoolies have similarly priced hardware at similar power cons so I've looked into both as they both have Oct delivery dates as of this time.

To any conspiracy theorists out there claiming I have blown the BFL refund or it doesn't exist, please remove yourself from these forums and go bother someone else.  It was guaranteed by the end of the month but I'll be bugging them for it tomorrow as the sooner the better.  I also feel that they are going to try to royally screw us on the BTC rate so I may have to go after them on this.

Did you get an update on the refund, be good to get this moving... (aside from background noise!!)

Edit: Contracts, not bonds.

As BFL monarchs are due to be shipped soon(ish!) - relatively speaking and judging by the 'snippet' videos of BFL Monarchs running at box standard 600GH/s (0.002BTC per hour) these should produce 0.000006BTC per contract at current difficulty (someone check my math)?

Do we know how many Monarchs were ordered and plans to run either at 600GH/s or faster given the current problems with current draw and associated heat - warranty allegedly allows up to 1.2/1.4TH/s? - (Cue usual discussion BFL, delivery, promises, .....)

BFL_Josh has indicated that their Cloud mining operation should be going live today/tomorrow???

"Right now, the plan is to allocate 600 GH/s to each user for each card ordered. If you ordered 1 card, you'll get 600 GH/s, if you ordered 2 cards, 1.2 TH/s, etc... "


Are we in the queue to start hashing once you have pointed at the right pool???

Back from my week away and 3 hours after I get back, got into a pretty bad car accident.  No one was *seriously* injured.  Just a broken thumb for me and a bit of whiplash for everyone.

I'll try to answer the questions I noticed real quick though. (not fun typing)

Spondoolies are of interest and I'm looking to do something with them.  I can assure you I'm not paying that outrageous price though Wink

BFL: no ship date in sight, but everything is ready for them.  I'm running the numbers to figure out what to expect and see if there is a better way to handle the situation.

GHash no longer has the "bonus" producing equipment on it, but it seems to be producing less coins on other pools....  Something weird with GHash...

Hi LAbrat,

From BFL:

"as a courtesy to those customers who have been waiting the longest, we will start deploying Cloud Mining in queue order as early as next Wednesday, June 18th, barring any problems."

BFL are not happy sending out prototype boards to paying customers but are hosting them in order to hash for orders pending (the new pcbwill hash comfortably at 1TH/s apparently!

Are you aware of this and does this mean there is no "two weeks" as BFL are performing the setup - basically will the bonus benefit from day 1?

This is a rolling programme so everyone in the queue will get there ordered hashing power prior to receipt of physical hardware - I hope you in the top 5 in the queue!.

CHANGE IN PAYOUT RATE STRUCTURE

Cryptocurrencies, which includes Bitcoin, are relatively new to the world economic communities and its governments. Worldwide there continues to be almost daily announcements from governments regarding crypto currencies. Lab Rat Data Processing, a Limited Liability Company in the state of New Jersey, continues to monitor those announcements and the ever-changing laws and economic environments and how those laws impact cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, and in particular Lab Rat Data Processing. Most important to Lab Rat Data Processing are the ever-changing laws and/or announcements from the United States and its governmental agencies and the state of New Jersey and its governmental agencies.

Based upon recent developments in US and local laws, Lab Rat Data Processing, and their legal representatives, have determined a potential current or future problem with its current rate structure, which was originally intended as a variable rate payout. Therefore, Lab Rat Data Processing is amending its variable rate payout with a set rate payout of 100 MH/s per contract. This rate payout shall be for all current contract-holders and all future contract-holders.  Contemporaneous with the change from a varying rate payout to a set rate payout Lab_Rat will triple the amount of contracts held by all contract holders as of the date of March 8, 2014.  Therefore, for all current contract holders on their current contracts, the effective rate will be permanently set at 300 MH/s per contract.  All future contracts purchased will be at the new rate of 100MH/s.

Lab Rat Data Processing will continue to monitor developments for cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin in particular, seeking to maintain its current status as a leader in the Bitcoin community and to maintain compliance with US and New Jersey laws.

More information to come.



Here is why what you wrote is false. And why you need a new lawyer.

Any supposed issue about "variable payouts" based on company performance is refuted by the fact that most companies ALREADY pay dividend based on their varying performance/growth. And each unit of ownership that receives dividends is based on a percentage of that unit per all units issued. That is exactly what each bond represents. Is paying dividends based on performance against federal or state laws? Clearly not.

Nobody that paid a percentage into this expected a "bond" to stop at 100MH. That was NEVER the expectation, and if you claim it was then you need to read the original posts about LRM. We aren't that stupid. And if your lawyer wrote it up differently, then you need to ask him how you can avoid being sued for documenting on your website and these forums how hashrates would not stop at 100MH.

The spirit of the matter(i.e the understood agreement) is this: The TRUE value of a bond was a fixed percentage of mining yields (not hashrate!), based on all issued bonds at any one time, and a fixed percentage is NOT VARIABLE. What ends up being mined may vary, but that is true if you fixed a bond at 100MH/bond instead of fixing it at ~1/50,000th of the 75% allotted for investors.

Cutting people off from their due percentage is a setup for a lawsuit, and I'm pretty sure a majority here are willing to go all the way with a lawsuit. Especially, after all the anger built up from all the scamming going on.

Your lawyer (who advised you from the beginning!) should have known exactly how this was going to work. And nobody signed a statement saying it was only going to be 100MH. If he's changing his story now,  then all I can say is that this smells like a crap story that needs investigation. And you might need to seek better legal counsel, because this guy is going to get you sued big time.

I hate to say it, but it seems like this is the first phases of allowing LRM to fail. And ifso it would seem to have something to do with Coinseed and some new hardware opportunities.
percentage.

The silence from Merlin, as a major bond holder, is deafening.

Looks like he will get a CTO with 'no baggage'

LRM's real saving grace may be that they claim to be selling hardware derivatives. Your security is (in the eys of the SEC) worthless; LRM promises you no rights to assets nor facevalue. It will only generate derivative income off of bitcoin mining and is only worth what someone else is willing to pay you for it.

My main reason of structuring like this.


Why does this still not hold Huh?

Another BTC operation down the drain.

Please buy back our bonds at 0.15 and keep mining for yourself.

As I said. We know this will take time, but that is all we now have...

You can get the 60% small shareholders off the books relatively quickly.

Again I would like to apologize for this seeming like I'm randomly dropping this out of thin air.  I have had morality yanking on one arm and legality yanking on the other for the last 2-3 months.  This is not a new development, it is just becoming a finalized one though.

If we can't get credit for new hardware, then why not buy back the bonds at the issued value (0.15)?  It sounds like there are very few options to get the value back to the bondholders now, but this type of option will alleviate most losses. The company will have a very large amount of incoming bitcoin available from the new hardware in March.

My point.

Also, Are divs on hold indefinately until this is resolved 'Two WeeksTM'

How about answering about what are you planning to do with the hardware and the hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in new hardware.

I've stated I'm working on the specifics of this.

The 'original' IPO contract states 0.25 BTC for a 'minimum' of 100MH/s.

This works both ways, you refund all bonds held at 100MH/s at a price of 0.25 BTC for however long that takes with future hardware purchases bought with BTC invested.

Failing that refund all bonds at their original purchase price you can interrogate the blockchain - that is what it is there for.

Legally the IPO is not 'fit for purpose' so a refund 'at any time' of all investments means no one is out of pocket - a great idea crushed by 'the man'. Effectively unwinding all financial possitions held.

The honorable thing to do, no?




4 significant issues with this as well as many others. 

The original contract stated 0.15.
Not everyone paid this price.
Not everyone bought from me.
I operate in USD behind the scenes.

Point 1. Agree, my mistake.
Point 2 and 3. You have the blockchain and you know how many bonds are held
Point 4. Not my problem, you take 25% of eveything to 'make it work'

Just woke up to this....

I owe 0.00209723 (thought Christmas had come late!).

I can send back but there is a fee of 0.0001BTC (around 5% of the owed amount).

For us small bond holder and 'new to the party guys' can there be a cut off, say 0.1 BTC where over payments are taken out of next weeks divs?

Happy to send back, Just a thought

Hmmm....


BFL have announced half price Monarchs for new orders with existing pre-order customers having to swallow full price for early ASIC fabrication.

Though there will not be any offer of redress coming from BFL for existing (I don't know if LRM has any 'special relations' with BFL) would it be worth putting in an order for half price cards knowing that they will offer the same return (ish) taking increase in difficulty into account?

BFL have stated that thousands of wafers will be available in order to drive their GH/s contracts so new Monarch orders should turn around relatively quickly (4 - 6 weeks?) once chips are available from the foundry.

Thoughts (keep them constructive!!!) ?

January 2013: BFL Monarchs, maybe?  (Unless the Dec added IS the monarchs?)

.....


According to BFL_Josh the first Monarch boards will be available around the last week of January if everything goes to plan without any further delays. This is due to scheduling delays at the very expensive foundry (so they win!)
