I don't like the idea of alcohol extracting BPA or other crap from the lining of the can.
BPA is in plastics, right?! Yes, in the plastic lining of most aluminum cans. It's highly soluble in alcohol. Also no, it's not just in plastics. Thermal printer paper (receipts) are usually soaked with BPA, up to 2%. |

Most of thermal paper (receipts) is soaked with Bisphenol A. The exposure from this source is likely higher than from non-stick cookware, can lining, plastic bottles etc.

I like the Bitcoin logo and link on the home page.

So, Bitcoin is taxable after all?  |

If you look at the graphs, you'll find that most of data clearly shows that changes in price do not follow changes in search volume, but it's the other way around. Increase in price usually predicts future increase in the search volume. I know it sounds stupid and boring, but that's the fact so far.
+1. this is exactly the way it works. YES exactly. Thanks for pointing this out. Tired of the ol' physics argument... it doesn't work for markets That is how it worked in the past. But if a big media 'event' is sudden it can hit before corresponding price increase imo. Also if the news is about the price increase it has to come after the increase and that's what a lot of the news was last time we had a ton of news. yes, there are no hard and fast rules. these relationships can change. Yes, and yes. That is why I included the cautionary "so far" in my conclusion. Just hope that this thread will dispel the myth of increased search volume as a generally bullish sign. So far that has not been the case. If we believe this busted myth, people will start buying in anticipation, thereby raising the price - a rather silly self-fulfilling prophecy that always fails in the long run (unless the fundamentals change in the meantime - completely unrelated). |

OK Now we're just being funny.
You have to admit the site has a WEALTH of information...
This is true, but it's not the whole truth. Lots of misinformation, scams, trolling, circlejerks, accusations, too. Essentially, the density of information here is low. Wiki has a much greater potential as an initiator for new users. If you want to help (and obviously you do), I suggest helping there. |

Bonds are traded via icbit.se at ~$300 per Gh/s as "DB.RCLMR". The price is justified by the "absence of competition" (in real life). Your numbers are a bit off. It's closer to ~$35 per GH/s for the biggest device. The smallest one is more expensive, but still very far from ~$300 per Gh/s. I apologize for misinformation. I got carried away with some of the posts in the referenced thread and did not check Tycho's post carefully. Also, my Russian sucks. три модели - 1 ГХ/с, 4 ГХ/с и 48 ГХ/с Цена самого дешёвого девайса ожидается в районе 32 БТЦ по предзаказу. Наверное ты опечатался и имел в виду 32 USD? Иначе я не понимаю. Да нет, вроде бы не опечатался. При условии отсутствия БФЛ, цена около $320 за 1+ ГХ/с в настоящее время выглядит нормально. Для меня очень важно не обещать того, что может оказаться неосуществлённым. Так что лучше пообещать 1 ГХ и сделать 4 Гх, чем пообещать 4, а сделать 2. А вот за $32 это невозможно, разве что только если заказывать сотни тысяч, чтобы себестоимость каждого чипа была менее $2-$5 Anyhow, glad to see these efforts are under way. Best of luck to all involved! |

Is this out of the blue? I don't recall hearing anything about deepbit asics. Hasn't been announced in English yet shh  But seriously, am I the only one that attempts to read the other-languaged forum? i just tried via google translate. ...yea... i'm gonna have to wait for an english announcement. Bonds are traded via icbit.se at ~$300 per Gh/s as "DB.RCLMR". The price is justified by the "absence of competition" (in real life). EDIT: A hint in English: Soon our Reclaimer project bonds will be available - another way of investing in ASIC and the Bitcoin future  (Well, actually they are already available, but not announced yet) EDIT2: my original claim of ~$300 per Gh/s was wrong, and I apologize. It was based on some of the comments in the referenced thread, not on what Tycho officially stated or restated. |

Any comments on Tycho offering bonds for "deepbit reclaimer" asic? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=104680.0;allPrice of ~$300 per Gh/s is justified by the current absence of competitors. Edit: here is a hint in English: Soon our Reclaimer project bonds will be available - another way of investing in ASIC and the Bitcoin future (Well, actually they are already available, but not announced yet) EDIT2: my original claim of ~$300 per Gh/s was wrong, and I apologize.

I did the math:
BTCFPGA bASIC $1069.99 ÷ 27GH = $39.63/GH
1 year warranty
projected to ship in November/December of 2012
BFL Single 'SC' $1299.00 ÷ 40GH = $32.48/GH
6 month warranty
projected to ship in October of 2012
but yes, competition is good.
Aren't these numbers estimates though? I think it may be a little too early to decide. The GH/s numbers are estimates, but the prices are already set. Therefore, $s/Ghash are estimates. In fact "estimate" implies a guess based in some facts, while this is based simply on the claims of the merchants. From what we've seen in the past, my estimate is that BFL claims are likely overblown. I don't know enough about cablepair's history, so I can't make estimates there. |

Otoh, great suggestion. I've never heard of Ekhart Tolle before, but reading about his "teachings" reminded me of one of my favorite thinkers, Jiddu Krishnamurti. Sure enough, it turned out that Tolle himself has stated that Krishnamurti was a major influence.

You still seem undecided. Let me increase my offer.
If you join Discordianism, I will not only not give you 0.2 BTC.
On my next weekend I will also do what ever I desire to do.
In fact, I consider this to be the healthiest, happiest, and safest choice of all. I pledge additional btc 0.2 to this cause, thereby raising the total to btc 0.4 + Akka doing whatever (s)he desires on the next weekend. |

IMO, a crash below 9$ is about to happen, why is it so hard to hit the sell button?
two days ago you were promising a huge rally today after the long weekend in the USA would be finished oh right its hard to hit the sell button, because a rally SHOULD be starting today. the ask depth is down right depressing. or does it look bad because the bid depth is so low? looks like buyers are holding off waiting for a good sell-off and sellers are waiting for a better price. i don't expect to go much below 9$ and i can't see us going over 12$ any time soon so what now... Now we relax and start using coins. |

im unsure of what religion is best and i do not want to waste years of my life reading about all of the different ones.... so
SAVE MY SOUL
i will be auctioning off my religious views.... whichever religion posts the highest bid wins. i will then convert to that religion and pray to that god. i will not participate in any unlawful activities or animal/human sacrifices. soooooo let the bidding begin!
auction ends Sept 7th at 11:11p.m. eastern standard time
You got it all backwards. You are unsure, and you want someone to save you time and effort, therefore you should be the one paying for the service. You are essentially looking to outsource. It is amazing to see how many people fell for your twisted logic and offered to pay. Now be a dear, and start again. Call for proposals. Place a payment in escrow. Announce the winner. Release the escrow, and start practicing. Right. I see the problem with my idea. You still need to decide. You want to avoid having to decide. Dammit! |

Probably not much point - I was thinking of advertising my blog at 1DkyBEKt5S2GDtv7aQw6rQepAvnsRyHoYM. It's a clever advertising ploy, really.
Less then btc 0.01 per letter. If exchange rate shoots up, advertising AA.ORG will be cheaper than ZZ.ORG. |

I think this issue is blown out of proportion. If certain exchanges are shut down, there will be others. There will be classifieds, craigslist, etc. for in-person exchange. Besides, shutting down exchanges would likely drive up adoption of btc as direct medium of exchange, without intermediate conversion to government fiat. Finally, more and more people - including smart individuals in governments have vested interest in Bitcoin. They see its value for personal reasons, but also in the bigger picture. Bitcoin in itself is not that big of a danger to anyone, it is more of an opportunity. Think Internet.
It is an enormous danger to any nation state. If you dont control the currency, you dont control the country. Can you be more specific? How exactly does Bitcoin present danger to a nation state (more than cash or gold or paypal or dwolla)? |
