IIRC none of the November boards had 8 VRM.

All of them are 4 VRM.   I'll ask him for photos of the individual boards.

PM sent

I'll ask him tomorrow.  Likely yes if escrowed.

A buddy of mine is listing his KNC Jupiters on eBay.   Since he doesn't have a bitcointalk account, he asked me to mention the auctions on here.  All are October batch, have never been overclocked, and always run in a data center.  He's got 5 of them up for sale.

Aside from the address, this is a scam because:

A) The variable cost of a chip comprised of photonic logic gates capable of performing SHA-256 calculations would far exceed $10k given the yield of the technology.
B) Photonic logic gates operating in the 400-450nm exist in labs right now.   Diffusion is the leading defect present during manufacture, smaller wavelength only exacerbates the previous claim.
C) In non-inert gas bath systems (although CO2 has been used in some cases), it requires in place spinning of fiber glass "conduit".   So either the system has to ship with a gas circulation system to keep gas density uniform or, again, they're using things that only exist in labs at this point.

Beyond this I think people should post what they know about Mt. Gox's transaction system.  Ie: limits, rolling funds from hot to cold wallets, withdrawal wallet sizes, etc.

For example my account, which was verified, was limited to 100 btc withdrawal, however upon contacting Gox support, they raised the limit to 300 btc.   I only attempted one withdrawal exceeding 100 btc and that was in January, the transaction never posted to the blockchain and I was "refunded" the btc to my account following the halt of btc withdrawals.  So I don't even know if > 100 btc worked.

Another example is that they have used various sized withdrawal processing wallets, these wallets always exhibit a pattern of transferring all funds to the withdrawer and to a new processing wallet.  Now the problem with this is that some clients exhibit the same behavior.   Additionally I've seen these purported withdrawal wallets just stop their pattern with sizable balances (500+ btc).

I find it hard to believe transaction malleability caused 744k in losses, the numbers just don't add up as many have stated.   However if there were a bug in the software that lost withdrawal wallets, this could present an answer.

I'm partially done developing a program to do forensics on the blockchain to determine where possible losses occurred so any algorithmic info would be of help.

1Gg9GGQWmRk1pp4vNkMqLaEiPVNdiNvz7E - 10k balance
18LpE3eaXgzUc7XGTNKCgZkD4EZN4NcAbK - 10k balance
1LfV1tSt3KNyHpFJnAzrqsLFdeD2EvU1MK - 10k balance
1MeCzxxB8eDd17DaocFLQaQtH8seVjNM67 - 10k balance
19PPeuu4jPjqtefSQ2FDgKmNJ88Z5wiuJt - 10k balance
15jdxjFhXUsp2xuycmKnjw8yk1WsVon69c - 10k balance

another hot wallet - 1CbR8da9YPZqXJJKm9ze1GYf67eKAUfXwP with more 10k roll offs

I think the way gox's wallet system worked was they had a main hot wallet, rolled off X amount (< 10k and > 1k) and then spun 200 btc wallets off of that that performed withdrawals sending the remaining values to subsequent wallets until it was depleted.

When the hot wallet had a value of > 10k they would roll it into 10k "cold" wallets.

Edit: they would also fulfill withdrawals from 2k wallets evidenced from second hot wallet

are you a mongoloid by chance?

Or just the 20 round sealed mint tubes of gold instead of loose coins.

It appears to be some kind of moving average vs a few exchanges as it was higher than bitstamp/btc-e but less than gox.

Today, Overstock.com brought their Bitcoin processing system online.   I figured since they're team players, I'd order a few hundred dollars of things I'd usually order from Amazon.  Their payment processing system was flawless.  I got a bitcoin address to send payment to, total to send.  Sent the payment, waited maybe 5 seconds, then clicked "confirm payment".  Received an email from them confirming my order within 5 seconds or so.  +1 to Overstock.

On a side note, this may have saved me a ton of hassle in the long run as I just received a phone call from Overstock asking if I had placed two orders shipped to two different addresses.  As it turns out my credit card number was stolen and someone ordered a pile of stuff with it from Overstock and from the list of charges today, a half a dozen other retailers.   I love how the financial industry badmouths the security of Bitcoin when they rely on shared secret security mechanisms (credit cards). +2 to Overstock.

The box had no return address.

I did receive three boxes from him.  It took roughly 3 weeks to get them, however one of the boxes was special order.   I've tried to get in touch with him again regarding purchasing more for a gift, however I've yet to get a response.  I thought he had reasonable prices and it was BTC, so why not?

You can order them for similar prices from www.cubanlous.com.  I've ordered 12 boxes over the last 4-5 years from them with no problems.

From my past experience he's usually very quick about responses, hopefully the forum cancer didn't scare him away.  Nice to have a guy that sells whole boxes and not just single sticks.  I got some Secretos off of him last order.  Unfortunately they were too well liked by extended family over the Thanksgiving holidays and I'm down to 6 of them.  Was hoping to pick up a box of 25 and maybe another box as I underestimated how many cigars my humidor holds, thought 150 but closer to 250 with the form factor of the Secretos boxes (about 1/2 the height of a Siglo V box).

What is the difference in power draw you're seeing at 620 vs stock 550?

Dominic: Sent you a PM regarding an additional order

I did if you look at the feedback (Ctrl+F "ultrix").  I apparently am not in your trust network and therefore it weights differently.

Dominicwin is legit.  The negative feeback he has, it seems, results from fake feedback from one user who is upset over escrow.   One of the fundamental components of any trust based system is the legitimacy of others trust or distrust.  Given that the feedback is for phony transaction amounts and over terms of sale not a sale itself, I would not trust Goat's feedback if I see it for another user, positive or negative.  I can say I have purchased many BTC worth of cigars from Dominicwin, without escrow, and received all of them well packed, in a reasonable time frame.  He even tracked down some cigars that were not on his posted list for me.  Big thank you for that.

Go through his forum posts with regards to the Corsair HX series PSUs.  He drew the conclusion from a sampling of two which were run from wall AC with no overcurrent protection and googling for the HX850 and motherboard problems, which as I stated you can find for every PSU.

I'm not saying he's lying, I'm saying he's not technical enough to make the statements he is with any validity and folks on this forum should listen to what KNC says officially.  Further KNC should acknowledge the lack of grounding as the source of problems.  I emailed them about this shortly after receiving my machines and have yet to get a response.
