All the manufacturers are on 28nm at this point.  When do people think that the next generation will come out and how efficient do you think it will be?  I am thinking about buying a CoinTerra or HashFast rig because I think that the network difficulty rate will slow down after March when ASICminer, Butterfly Labs, Cointerra, KNC miner, HashFast, BlackArrow, and Biteminer have all released their 2nd generation ASICs, but I don't know how long I would have until the 3rd generation came out.  Thoughts?

Seeing as I don't have a powerful graphics card at the moment, bitcoin mining is currently out of the question. I have been exploring other coins that seem to be easier to mine like pheonixcoin, infinitecoin, and primecoin, but which one do you think is fastest to mine with a cpu.

Again, I realize im not going to make any money with this, im just trying to get to know wallets, trading, mining, etc... before I invest a ton of money in a graphics card for bitcoin mining.

Ps. From what I can tell, my cpu hash rate is 3 KH/S. (Is it even possible to mine any infinitecoins or pheonixcoins or primecoins at that speed?

Found 300btc by accident like I talked about in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=318878

I now feel like I hit the trigger finger out of just pure excitement selling 200btc of them a couple weeks ago.

Thankfully my btc web shops here on the forums have been building up my btc holdings again as I'm not selling any of the profits for fiat. I have been bit by the BTC bug once again!

Anyone else kinda teetering but now completely back and at full strength?

What kind of service/project you think could be the best for this title?

Bitcoin Wars

Hey guys,

I know I'm a bit new to the forums, for that matter I don't do forums a lot in General.  I am an experienced web programmer and I am looking to build a website, but before I put a ton of effort into something for nothing... I want to make sure there is an interest in it.

A while back I made an excel sheet that did a comparison of hardware, costs, power output, with all the variables being able to easily be modified.  I now am going to make a much more advanced version and I figured it would be better to just put it onto a website.

The problem I have with the current hardware comparisions is that they don't offer you granular input.  I want to be able to make my own adjustments to a week, two weeks, or maybe a month.. maybe I just want week 34 to have a spike to simulate an explosion of bitcoin?  Anyways..  Let me know your thoughts.  If there is enough interest I will start working on it.

Below is a picture of the hardware chart that I did make.

Hello Everyone,

I have a Samsung Chromebook and a few USB-mine-erupters. Is it possible to mine some coins with the chromebook?
I don't want to install Ubuntu just mine from my chromebook with the USB sticks.

Thanks for helping

Been solo mining on my CPU at 1.2 Mh/s. Gonna get me a block hopefully before the end of the century.

Please $500 reach me before you hit 0 

Hey all, I just purchased some btc and was curious when it clears whats my next step? Where do I keep it? I tried to download the btc qt but it errors out. I was hoping to send some to btc-e to trade for other alt coins and send some to a wallet... not sure how to setup a wallet, digital or physical.  Any help would be great thx
