Wow, now that's quite a few suggestions here! :-)

For intentional confusion:
"I'm paying with my kee today!"
(or kii or similar spelling)

Or, if you want to overdo it:
Kryptonite! ..the nemesis of all superbanks.. ;-)

I too like mineral/stone names.
Quartz, Obsidian, Turquoise, Garnet, endless possibilities!

Ente

those are good suggestions, I especially like "kee" or "kii". Right to the point.



Heh, nice indeed, paying with the "kee"[tm]

Buy gpus for half price
mine on solar power
? ? ? ? ?
profit

If you think solar power is free or cheap, think again: There's a reason why the german government subsidises solar power with something like €0.35/kwH. It might be a little better in places with a lot of sun, but I doubt you can produce for cheaper than what you pay (as a US-citizen) at the plug.

Also: running miners only when the sun shines is not making good use of hardware and still-low-difficulty.

I assure you: if it's not profitable to mine by buying elictricity, it is also not profitable to install photovoltaics for your miners.

I think its time to go up guys lol

I hate to say it but I'm guessing this could be a millionaire trying to get as many coins in as possible before he launches the price up.  Undecided

And he's doing quite well at it, so it seems

this

don't give him your coins!

I'll buy quite a few if you sell a version in which the reprogramming fuse has not been blown out.  I need a device like this for GPG signing and other non-Bitcoin cryptography.
Feel free to charge more for the reprogrammable version and emblazon it with a "firmware not certified by manufacturer"; I'm sure those of us who want this don't mind.

I understand that the hardware itself may be very useful for other applications as well. So for now I see this quite possible. However, as you said, the casing should be modified somehow, so it won't look like official product.

How can we be sure that some reseller isn't slipping us a modified version and what could he potentially do with that approach?

With the halving only 6 weeks or so away, I quite surprise the price hasn't started to go up.
Guess no-one cares.

 The halving will happen in november in no more than 3 weeks.

"no-one cares"? Everyone cares and the halving should be priced in "completely" by now, because everyone knows about the halving and has made up his mind on the implications.

It's possible however that the market under- or overestimated the effect and it will keep correcting it's stance even after the halving happened.

I see bitcoin as more of a threat to government than to banks. Banks are businesses, if they can make money they dont give  a crap HOW they make it...

I have a slightly different angle: banks are in the business of buying up as many hard assets as possible. The fiat money scam is just a way for them to extract these assets from the population. In the end, it's about power. "He who control the money" and that stuff... it's true.

governementson the otherhand, once they get their mind set on something can really do some damage. they have the power to strong arm businesses into doing their bidding if needed which includes keeping banks from doing business with known coin users or even trying to arrest users themselves. making it illegal would be the easiest way to stop bitcoin...

and of course.. it would be in fighting the war on drugs..

bureaucrats and politicians are but cogs in a machine, subject to pressure, greed and fear. And yes: that machine can do some damage by strong-arming businesses (and the population in general). Price fixing, all kinds of regulations "in the name of the people", but really against them in the end. The war on drugs fits this description, too.

They might somehow outlaw bitcoin, but they will not succeed in shutting it down and it will remain a tool for the people to re-empower themselves.

slush, stick: I think you got it exactly right Wink


After reading this, I just thought of the name Popsicle

1) its slush (ice) on a stick
2) its a tiny device that connects to USB sticks
3) you get the cold storage connotation from the name

that is pretty good. isn't that a brand name, though?

cool, bitcoin is really making the rounds in fresh circles these days.

Incidentally I'm currently reading that book, "Good Money" by George Selgin. Quite an interesting read.
