Well, right now Apple's market cap is 472.35 billion USD. Divide that by 21 million BTC, and you get 22,564.28 per BTC. Seems like potential.

Mastercoin is a pretty cool idea, a protocol being built on top of bitcoin, not another alt coin!

You name it.

I'll do it.

Believe it or not I still be Laptop CPU Solo mining and usually end up with a few of these:

PROOF OF WORK RESULT: false (booooo)

But it's just for fun while I'm working on the computer. You never know you could get lucky and get a nice surprise. 

*Bows down to Bobby Lee*

China is about keeping things cheap.

I mean no one likes to get a yuan that is all dirty, but they have bank cards for this. Furthermore, you won't be able to use bitcoins at the smaller places where you are likely to get a dirty yuan note. Those smaller shops won't be able to afford bitcoin terminals or to run a computer 24/7 without the risk of someone running off with their laptop. Theft is common...

I've been to China, and those dirty notes, well you don't know where they have been. My western tour group made fun of the fact that it may have been used as toilet paper as it is a luxury in China's public toilets. So my opinion is that the uptake in China will be severely limited even without government intervention. If the government intervenes, we can only guess what disaster awaits.

Either way, I trust Bobby Lee's judgment.

That's if you only use the amount of gold on earth, if you think humans are destined to be stuck on this planet forever, then yes you are correct, however in the long run this is unlikely.  The total amount of gold in the universe is 66 trillion times the mass of the sun.  Granted we will probably never retrieve all of this gold, or even a small fraction of it, but it will take a very long time until humans have no way to produce more gold.

 I agree, but also i love higher size monitors but with good specs

I was thinking of buying some server/mining machines to mine.

But is it worth it?

What's the price on one of these? And how long before it pays off? 

Is it steady or does it change daily to mine?

Mainly since bitcoin is anonymoys i dont liek how mtgox or others ask for ID scans etc.

Where about BTC-E you can exchange Bitcoisn ot USD withoug leaving your ID?

ANd yes i know that ban kacocunt/credit card/paxum etc still leaves footprint but at least itsn ot ID.

Can you break down of each of the graphic card hash rate?

Well, looking at the hashrate (finally) hitting a wall, I can only speculate that BFL have ended shipping en masse...

So, the world is taking a breath and getting ready for Gen2 ASIC?  Or is this there something I missed with the reason the hashrate stalled?

All right, got it backed up and deleting the "blk..." files seemed to get it going. It should only take a week or two to download the whole quarter of a million blocks again. Hopefully, it will work.

Thanks.
