I'd summarize it as: Once ASICs are out, we're coasting along with Moore's Law. There will be improvements, such as smaller circuits on chip, more efficient designs, and increased parallelism, but these will be evolutionary improvements, not revolutionary.
this, theoretically the company makes enough money producing gen1 products and is able to come out with a smaller nm fabrication build etc. 32nm asic would be sweet |

As difficulty goes up (more than 6 blocks found per hour), the estimated time for halving approaches more rapidly. Using bitcoinclock.com , it's fairly easy to see that the halving will occur between 1800 hours 11/27/2012 and 0600 11/28/2012 with current 'block finding trends'. ASICs entering the market would have a serious effect on this, however.

spending coins on good and services is better than selling coins for fiat, period. merchant will probably sell your coins for fiat in-turn, but at least you're supporting merchants who accept BTC, thus strengthening the economy userbase. i'm all for providing merchants with business if they accept bitcoin, and the opposite if they're against bitcoin.

Thanks for your insightful thread organofcorti. It leaves me curious, though.. I have some bASIC devices incoming and your estimates are much higher than I was expecting. Is it not safe to say that the 54gh/s units will top at around 200w? Also, what kind of power connector will be required? others have speculated it will run on standard 6-pin pci-e connector, but wouldn't 8-pin be necessary if they really draw this much juice?

I've got one of these(6670) in an older am2 rig, 'cept it's the 1gb gddr5 version, not that it matters for mining. 120mh/s is about the most you're gonna push outta that card.

I'm going to guess BFL is using 65nm, seems to be a sweet spot between chip price, performance, and power consumption. Not that I really care though, I went with a manufacturer that's more transparent throughout the whole process(bASIC/cablepair/Tom).

quite glad to see this thread, i was questioning which psu to purchase to power my incoming bASIC devices. how do you feel about rosewill, newegg's in-house brand? i assumed they were garbage, until i saw: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681718226115 reviews, 14 5-star, 1 4-star, not a single complaint about the unit.. gold certified 450w, $60 after promo code... any ideas/estimates on power consumption of the bASIC units? will need a psu that will safely and efficiently power 2 54's and 1 27. thanks for the 411. |

Any thoughts on a new flavor of honey caramel for the winter season? when i think of Christmas 'sweets' i always think of peppermint, not sure if it'd work ... pumpkin spice caramels would still be awesome though. any thoughts on special batches from anyone? i'd buy 'em if the 'brothers' will make 'em!

What are some good free ways to Launder/Mix/Anonymize/clean your bitcoins?
send them to me |

as the above poster has mentioned, there isn't much money to be made mining BTC these days without a substantial investment in equipment. if you invent a time travel machine and go back about 3 years(let me bum a ride with you if you figure it out), it's a different story. if your computer has an ATI/AMD Radeon HD 5xxx-6xxx-7xxx video card(known as a GPU) then you can begin mining a small amount of BTC for profit at the cost of an increased electrical bill. otherwise, be prepared to invest money in order to enter this market.
edit/ps: be prepared for people to call you a scammer and ask you to show boobs on the intarwebz since you're posting as a female, and as we all know, they don't exist on the intarwebz.

Been hoarding since 2010, never spent/sold/traded a coin until a little over a month ago on bASIC devices and some gold coins. oh and I bought some honey caramels from beesbrothers, they're like an orgasm to the mouth.

for mining purposes, your radeon hd 7750 is the only component that matters. as the guy above me has said, it will push 120-140 mhash/s depending on clock frequency.

@SaintDevil Nice lips  You registered here only 1 day ago and you already feel obliged to put other members in their place? You're adding irrelevant information to this thread. You are also giving women a good reason to stay far, far away from Bitcoin. Your post has nothing to do with the thread. You are thus far useless, please leave. kthx oh, and I started mining in mid 2010 using the 'reference' satoshi client v0.3 using an i7-920, 'ya know, back when the client itself had a Generate Coins button... |

I'm not seeing any SSDs for sale via your site. Do you sell them? If not, can you add them to your inventory?
