Let me add, the massive drop last night was done on sells of less than .25 of 1 Bitcoin (combined total).  How can the price drop by nearly 80% on such little selling?  I mean, where are the buyers or why aren't the sells larger?  I know of at least 12 guys now on Cryptsy regularly adding ixCoin, compared to the zero when I got here.

So this timing, once again, is incredibly interesting.

Needless to say, my 65 Bitcoins are now worth less than 8 Bitcoins.

And to that I have to say:

Bhahahhaahaaaaaaa.

No typo. It`s a fair price. 0.05 BTC per erupter, 0.05 x 30 = 1.5 and another .5 to cover the hubs/fans and shipping. If u don`t want it, don`t buy it. Simple as that.

It just irritates me a little bit that the developer doesn't give any feedback on our comments. What does he want with this coin?
The website of Skeincoin isn't updated since november.

Is it worth it to keep mining SKC, or not?

I think the coin is something different than other alt-coins, but without feedback it's just another coin, waiting to fade away.

And Asor: great work. Maybe the coin will finally get the attention it deserves! Mining goes very fast atm with 5 computers (CPU, dual/quadcore). Does it stay that way? Or will it be more difficult just like Litecoin?

Who give you this info? Chuck Norris? 

I was just reading that currently the Bitcoin network isn't even seeing 1 transaction per second and it is only set up to handle 7 per second.  That's a pretty easy fix but that's not the problem.

Visa is handling up to 10,000 transactions per second [at peak time], so one can imagine Bitcoin (or whatever global digital currency is adopted), once it goes mainstream, will easily do the same amount or more.

Just think about how massive the blockchain has gotten in just the last 6 months and we have, at most, 1 million total global users and not even 1 transaction per second yet.

Now imagine hundreds of millions of users and a mind numbing 10,000-fold jump in transactions per second.  

What would that do to the blockchain?  It would inflate it to the point that you'd need a massive budget just for the storage alone.

So in the next few years who's gonna be able to afford to run the entire blockchain?  That's right, large corporations, banks and governments - who already have massive servers and data centers in place.

So in the end, it will be these entities which will dictate the transaction fees (even though there will be little to no added cost on their part) and not the little miner like everyone is [still] fantasizing.  Say hello to eye gouging fees [again] only this time you can't take your money out and you can't hide it either.  Ha!

Yet again, just one more ugly hole in the decentralized, anti-bank and anti-government theory [which never made sense to me in the first place] and one more huge benefit of crypto currencies for banks, multinational corporations and governments.

Add this sweet news to the global asset tracking and registry system Crypto Money is designed for.

lol, this whole thing was designed and built, from the very beginning, from the ground up - specifically for the benefit of banks, large corporations and governments.

Crypto Money = The wet dream of the Status Quo.  

unfortunately I don't think I have the knowledge to set up a faucet, I was actually looking for somewhere that I could claim free Zetacoins

Right now they'd have to track your ip but once congress passes a little legislation to attach your name to your wallet they'll go bank to the very beginning and know everything you bought.

You guys really can't see bitcoin is quickly becoming centralized?  It can't be stopped so be careful what you buy as it will be permanently tracked and on your record.
