Hello everyone,

since there is no demand, probably due to the upcoming asic miners, I
buy back all shares at 0.25btc (original sell price).

talpan

this is pretty sad... any ideas about getting into the bfl asic game somehow?

Hello molecurlar,

first: I want to thank you for your very good support!, we'll be in contact.

I've considered the option to switch to ascis for a short period of time...
But then I saw the numerous mining contracts for asics.
I don't think that any new mining operation could really take off in this situation.

But..., there are plenty of other projects in my head and they need to get out.
I'm in contact with a web-designer in order to make these projects reality

.

the best,
talpan

PS: Let's see how long they have to wait for their ascis Cheesy

Hello,

thanks for hint molecular, yxt pointed me to that post too.

I think before this ends in nothing, I will define a contract and post it.
I'll contact all of the three who donated to 8btc needed to create a contract on glbse and let them decide.

Hello,

sorry for my absence lately.
I was very busy.

To summarize things:
After several attempts to contact BFL, I think this is not the way to go.
Now, this doesn't mean that, this is the end (before we even started) for b-fcmc.

There are several other FPGA-boards available.
My personal choice would be ztex, though they're a bit more expensive.
One great plus is, that they also reside in Germany, which makes delivery and support fast.

Please tell me what you think, as soon as I got some opinions, I will define the
final contract, before I open up the GLBSE account.

The best,
talpan

did you see the thread about the ztex "sammelbestellung", it seems they can get price down to 189€ if 100 are bought. they were at 50 last time I checked.

Hey,

we have now all the BTC needed for creating an asset on GLBSE.
I'll do this within one week, here are some reasons for delaying it.

As it seems, the delivery times are still very high (~12weeks) and I missed that I need
to pay 19% VAT.
I've contacted them about the VAT and what would be if I pay in Bitcoins (they would do
let me pay in Bitcoins, although it's not a payment option on their homepage).
And there some other upcoming FPGA-Boards, that have to be considered.

I will let donators decide, who funded the 8BTC when i know more.

kind a regards,
talpan

Hey guys and ladies,

a little status update:

So far we have 6.74BTC of the 8BTC needed

And I've purchased the domain b-fcmc.com, it's not that graet
but it's short

.
Just to remember: b-fcmc = Bitcoin FPGA community mining cluster Wink

the best,

Please guys, could you create another topic for that?

no need to create it, the "GLBSE down" thread is alive and well: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/glbse-down-48752

rather https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=48752.140
or something with .new in the url to fetch latest messages.

as for the new pfga asset on glbse, still watching closely this thread

sorry, I'd just been chatting in a different topic where mila and I had been discussing ways to be notified about downtime by using trades, and somehow thought it was that one continuing...

Man, down for what 40 minutes and everyones all over it. I went out for a haircut, when I got back there was like 11 emails and pm's telling me GLBSE was down (had to leave my phone at home to charge).

according to the glbse ticker on twitter the last trade was at 3:49 am, then the next when it came back was at 4.54 pm, so I see your 40 minutes and raise you ~13 hours. I know it was down at 8am this morning as I was checking to see when OgNasty paid his mergedmining dividends *as can be seen by the immediate trade of them after it was back. I could access the site, but got no balance and no response to portfolio, *-history or asset data. They all sat spinning with "refreshing".

I don't have any problems with 2 posts about that issue, but I think, as this happened more than once,
there should be another thread, discussing that issue.

Thank you.

Good news.

I've talked to nefario and he offered me to lower the fees to 8BTC,
these are the new fees for GLBSE 2.0.

Since molecular gave already 5BTC there are only 3BTC missing

Well, for now there are fees. Glbse 2.0 isn't finished yet.

I truly believe that fees are negotiable

you're a verified person to nefario and the fee increase was 'only' due to asset in glbse issued by dubious persons

if you want to rush and issue the asset at the cost of 20 btc, I won't even comment further
I just believe that savings (optimal use of money) are possible.

edit: and glbse 1.0 is not even up & running. my standard test of "log in and see if balance or portfolio refresh" failed (is failing since morning)
