Title: [LTB] Discussion on Mining, ASICs, and Mining Incentives
Post by: webjoe on July 03, 2013, 08:24:03 PM
I just heard this recent podcast and thought it was relevant to this group.  LetsTalkBitcoin segment discussed the purpose of mining and if it's losing the original vision of Satoshi due to concentration of mining capacity by ASICs and large pools. 

Here's a link to the segment:

well, yea.... i guess we have to wait another 6-12months and see what happens when the ASIC price is more reasonable and ready to ship.
