Title: Next round of hype starts with this!
Post by: SaintFlow on April 12, 2013, 08:08:26 PM
Have you checked out the quasi announcement of the ASICMINER company?

You should - because it can reshape the public perception of bitcoin.
It will strengthen the perception as the currency of freedom.

Mining can be done with USB-sticks soon. First impression in the companys forum was:
"If this is gonna be sold en masse, you just militarized the user base"
"ASICMINER/bitfountain just stepped up from being a highly profitable mining company
to being an asset to the whole bitcoin community
as game changing hardware provider"

300mhas/s from USB - and likely on the market before anything BFL ships  :D

Reminds me of when I used to dabble in the DIY electric car forums. There was always news about some new battery that would hold 10X capacity "in a few years". Then it would never pan out, but the existing companies would spit out slightly better batteries year after year.

exept ASICMINER does not share the BFL track record.

I remember the proposed bitcoin cards. I am not shure what spells DECENTRALIZATION bigger
than something of this sort?

Comming to think of it, who would have thought that freedom would be exported from china  ;D

I think that by 'link', ManBearPig meant to a website where these things can actually be purchased?  Not to some endless round-robin of bitcointalk threads, none of which are anything but... well... bitcoin talk.  Yes?

Or is the title of this thread unintentionally accurate?

Christ I'm tired of all the vaporware...

This is great (if true). I don't think it's a gamechanger but with how badly the whole asic thing has been bollocksed, more actual real-life kit is always a good thing.
