Thanks for the prompt reply; I have bought adapters at a cost to myself of $27.00. It'll take forever for Alex to send along, but I would like some sort of compensation.

somehow i was given UK plugs with my LA3M order.  

I'm in Canada (NA standard plug)--anyone know what my options are for the plugs?

Can you honour the fact that I can't get my gridseeds going? Time is money man. Please compensate me for the power adapters as I need to buy some.

Edit: did you get these through Alex Hyunh (atari)? If so, please tell him to send me out correct power ASAP. I can also contact.

I'm not sure what/how I source the right adapters. Please help.

Got the miners, and they threw in the pi instead, which was great, but how the hell do I hook up the power? They gave me UK power adapter?

ugh. 

Also unconcerned in the long-term.

This is going to sound prick-ish, but I mean it humorously:

"You can hope in one hand and shit in the other, and see which one fills up faster" 

Hold, on, so what does this mean exactly? That we can get 500+kHash on 744kHz?

hmmm didn't think of this, but it doesn't seem to be happening ATM

Yes, I'm more conservative and would even say 1000-1500.

Truth is Bitcoin can surprise you either way. It's likely to be a wild ride for the next five years, and I'm not sure where the price will stabilize.

I think the main question is value. In terms of the remittance market, where it might make its first significant mark, it should stabilize at 2000 or so within two years just based on that.

In the near term >=6 months, I see a VC run in concert with some good apps and simple tech solutions taking us to that 1500-2000 mark.

But I think it's going to take longer for this to gain mass adoption.

What we have is a paradigm shift. Before now, we didn't have a way to give strangers money without the (tacit or not) need of a human actor / human-driven entity at some point needing to be involved. Math is doing that now, and we can put more faith in it, and at an order of magnitude more cheaply so.

With respect to paradigmatic shift, the problem we have is that the financial industry and the world at-large are trying to understand BTC through a lens that doesn't really register its true potential or or if it does, distorts its image. I really would invoke Kuhn (1962-The Structure of Scientific Revolutions) in this context: "it is not possible to understand one paradigm through the conceptual framework and terminology of another rival paradigm". Clearly, that's what's happening here.

Intervening in the normal course of the paradigm shift are the oil smudges of corruption, greed, and power brokering/jostling on our collective prosaic lens, if you will: Gox, rampant and manipulative speculation, etc. Therefore, everybody is just a little scared of the technology and that fear leads most of them to not want to try and understand it. The fear results in more time to adoption.

Anyway, in the background, all the keyed in people are investing time, effort, and money into all sorts of BTC-related stuff because they (rightly IMO) believe in the underlying technology, and they know that the fearful will become fanciful once it works as easily and smoothly as their iPhone. These are the same types of people now as those who pulled up their sleeves and wiped their brows in the 90s with internet, yes--even though this is a tired comparison by now.

So many people are focussed on the value of BTC, and ironically, they don't yet see it.

I see so much more relative volume in the second chart.

The low volume worries me most, but I hope that you're right.

I have a feeling KNC is holding onto something big with respect to the Titan; I expect before they are ready to ship they will drop another doubling of hashrate on us. I am conservative with an August delivery date that being said.

Difficulty rise was a big worry for me, but I believe that the alts will stay alive and a profit-switching pool sort of negates that worry for me.

Currently own 1/10th of a Titan with free hosting full disclosure. If I can get enough BTC from my mining and BTC goes up as well over the next couple months, I will probably order a complete Titan for myself.

Hi There:


OK all seems in order.


2.2 BTC sent.

Aha perfect. Thanks for clarfx sf2.

My goodness you are trooper Mogu! Get well soon.


What are your thoughts on when these will hit market--June?

I also wonder what effect you think this will have on difficulty, given that 625 THz will hit the market all at once? That said, do we still have a chance at first batch? 

Are you going to go onto clevermining?



Sorry for all the questions, but just assessing before I tie up my remaining BTC for the next few months.

+1 my average buy-in (across mining investments too) is at about 675.00.

Lamenting the fact that I have spent all the fiat that I am comfortable to lose on BTC (~10,000); could have had so much more if I bought now.

That being said, diversifying half my investment into mining, of which 75% is scrypt, should defray the loss opportunity on this low BTC as I will be profitable for another 4-5 months until KNC miner releases Titan.

Meh, such are the varagies of the market, and my lack in ability of calling the bottom.

I was actually convinced we'd be at 750 in a couple weeks from now.

I don't want to sound nit-picky (because I realize it's still a good deal and also because I know you have a lot on your plate), but did we not buy into ~250Ghz per share? With nine (9) miners, would this not be more like ~225Ghz a share?

...that doesn't sound good at all.

Hey Mogu:


Just want to know the same before I send payment.

Also, you have already ordered this upfront, correct?

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

Looking forward to more.
