Here http://www.butterflylabs.com/products/The Single and the Mini Rig are FPGA devices, they are a bit expensive but their energy consumption is much lower than using GPU and they were released months ago. and then we have the preorder list "BitForce ‘SC’ Pre Orders". These are the ASIC devices. They will be released like in october/december (at least, that's what BFL said...) Their performance? They are ASIC, no FPGA. Look at the "Single 'SC'", for only 1299$ you buy a device wich do 40GH/s. Yes, 40GH/s, yes for only 1299$ |

one year later, how are you guys feeling about bitcoin's electrical consumption?
Same difficulty as august 2011 but now some ppl use FPGA->energy consumption went down |

People still don't completely understand what cryptocoins are. They were created out of any government control (even against it) but ex-owners of stolen coins expect to get support of a government. But it has no sense!
I wasn't happy to read about recent Bitcoinica hack. Of coz, victims should ask the police for help to return money, but ONLY FIAT MONEY. Noone ought to mention bitcoins, coz every user of cryptocoins should understand that they outside the law. I pay taxes and I don't want them to be spent for salary of a police officer who investigates a case related to cryptocoins.
I don't know English good enough to explain very sophisticated ideas, but I hope u got me.
Nonsense We pay TAXES wich also serve for the police service. So yes, if someone steal something from you, you should call the police because you know, you pay TAXES for that. |

At the moment, this system is outside governmental control, and the risk is unknown. Uuuhh... it's outside governmental control  The system is virtual and the american government has signalized that they want to remove this system before naive and gullible users become too involved. For such a system to work, it needs a 'rich' sponsor. Yeah sure sure  and i don't get the "rich sponsor" thing...  |

bringing with it all the associated problems of money hoarding, deflation and depression historically associated with fixed currencies” Fail, so much fail |

But that imply real money. We just are playing a game where i send you a message in bitcoin and you send me back it, with our funny software, no one can arrest us for that. Or they will arrest me if i shoot someone in a fps?

What I failed to mention is that the coffee was served at over 90 degrees celsius Excuse me but where is the problem here? Coffee must be HOT, it's made with boiling water, of course it's 90 degree celsius or more! Americans, they think their shit is coffee and when someone give them real coffee they go to hospital and sue them  |

Lol, a government attacking our funny little game? Nonsense, we made (ok i know i did nothing) our game, we play it and they now tell us to stop? Next thing will be what, Brazil attacking EVE Online? World of Warcraft? They too have VIRTUAL MONEY Hell, in EVE they too invest and get paid a % interest! Go Brazil, suspend EVE now!!!!!! Omg a friend of mine invested some eve money in a corporation building spaceships, is that illegal? |

That's why normal pools should disappear and why people should switch to p2pool  good luck having a bug where everytime you press a button you receive btc with p2pool |

I'm glad you are brainstorming, but... You expect people to have blind trust in something you introduce to them as "magic"? And it involves money? I certainly hope you forget about this idea for a while, then reconsider.
Ehi, apple called their thing MAGICAL and it worked very well so we can do the same and rename Bitcoin to iBitcoin, success guaranted  |

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I believe this is The Powers That Be (TPTB) using their influence at Verisign to interfere with bitcoin.
A few months ago, I have had similar problems with Firefox telling me that the certificates were not valid on the Intersango, Mt Gox, and btc-e.com.
Even today, my android phone will not let me use MtGox Mobile app due to some problem with the certificate.
IMO TPTB use certificates authorities and anti-virus software like Norton to implement a casual form of website blacklisting.
Stay calm, here is the solution about the certificates problem http://perspectives-project.org/ |

This is scientific research on human nature, please answer truthfully. You are in position to prevent ~56 million deaths and spare suffering to hundreds of millions human beings, or make yourself unbelievably rich. No cheating, you can use machine only once (and come back), you cannot go back, kill Hitler and send yourself note into the future to buy bitcoins.
What if by killing hitler you delay world war 2 by like 10 or 20 years and then it start with nuclear weapons? It will be much much worse |
