*lol* Ill fix it...
Regarding EMS... i used it judging from the experiences of avalon miner receivers. If its better to use DHL then ill try to change this.


Its a bit strange indeed... they deliver... but not speaking with customers to solve problems is a bit hard...

Something is definitely wrong with batch 2.

This order is 36 position after our batch 2 and its status is already "processing":

Some people think about using different designs. There are 1, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 64, 256 and 384 chip designs running in the wild right now i can tell right now from my head. I think the 20 is good for most people and the 64 and 256 are for people that bought thousands of chips

Batch 3 Orderstatus (Open):

Possible, but not likely.
The costs are to high compared to the possible effect of such actions.

Meh

China has more to gain from stability in the region, even though they may show some strength and be disruptive.

Meh.

NK might do something stupid. (Which is not helped by US's confronting line -NK is like an attention seeking child and US plays along instead of being the sensible one at the sideline.)
But I doubt China will step in except as negotiators.
I think China sees NK as a loose cannon and not like something worth defending too much.


Meh.
Doubt Israel will do any first attack, they have enough problems as it is, and Iran knows that US will step in if they attack.
If there were to become a conflict, russia might support with equipment, but they will get a deal to get their oil anyways.
Don't think US would risk being tangled up in another war if they can avoid it.


Meh.
Israel has nothing to win by this, and Syria does not have a proper rule ATM.
Would not be too surprised if there were some border-attacks by Syrian warlords though. But not something that is likely to escalate.


Remember that China own a huge amount of US debt. If they wanted to hurt the US, they would simply sell their debt and collapse the dollar. They could also stop export to US. This would hurt both nations. But China could still export to europe knowing that a lot of the export would be resold to the US, but then at a higher price which would hurt US more.

It's not the risk of buying bitcoins with paypal - it's the risk of selling bitcoins for paypal.  Example:  you sell me 1 bitcoin and I buy it by paying you $100 thru paypal.  Once I receive the bitcoin from you I file a dispute on paypal.  Paypal reverses the transaction and gives me back my $100.  Now I have 1 Bitcoin I didn't have to start with, and my $100 in my paypal account.  You on the other hand have lost 1 bitcoin and have no additional money in paypal.

As long as you can trade across the digital currencies, they're all basically an extension of Bitcoin. Notice how Bitcoin dropped $40 right after Feathercoin moved onto exchanges for trading? Alt currencies are a slick way to dilute Bitcoin.
