So I'm gonna have a guess that it was an existing financial entity of some sort ... which means they will have an incentive to set-up a decent bitcoin exchange with easy interface with existing currency markets to go along with their mining operation. Basically a 'rogue' form the current oligopolies is breaking ranks and going to "have a go". If this is the case, it is great news.

Okay, yes. But it's very, very hard good news to handle for those of us who just dropped a couple grand on mining equipment only a few days ago. I want to at least make back my investment before FPGA mining makes it all worthless!  Cry
I second that. But AFAIK this will not be massive anytime soon, so maybe we still have time to recover our investement Smiley

Does anyone know if something similar but (much) cheaper exists?
I feel like I should help here.. I bought a PCI 32 bit to PCIe x16 adapter on ebay for 20$ and 10$ shipping and it arrived today, and it's awesome. I don't need it right now but I'll gladly let you know it works. So ye, mining on old PCI slots :3

However it reduced my hashrate by 2Mhash, not sure if it was because of having to install a new driver or maybe latency..
Can you please give us a link for that adapter? I can't find one below $80 on eBay Sad

So if I buy a motherboard with one slot x16 an other slot x1, with this product I will be able to run 2 graphic cards at the same time for mining, right?
Yep

Will the graphic card connected to the x16 get more mhash/s than the other one connected to x1 if both of them are the same model?
Both slots will deliver the same performance for mining.

Thank god that i found this topic, i almost purchased a double PCIe x16 motherboard just for mining and now with this cable i will save some bucks purchasing a single x16 and x1 Smiley
I will order the cable tomorrow, thank you!
