I'm more curious when they listed on Black Friday sale, they were "in stock".  Currently my order is "processing" from that "in stock" .

Interesting article from yesterday, may lead to a good reason for the decline today.

Since the Chinese were big investors it would make sense for a drop today after that news.

Guess its time to get a machine up and running for Litecoin mining.  Glad I have a spare PC available, is it recommended to have a higher CPU or more RAM for this kind of mining?

It's all about GPU mining. A CPU won't give you a high enough hash rate to make it worth it. I've got a Quad Core Xeon only giving me 20KH/s which is like 0.01 LTC / day. My old NVidia 9600 GT can mine that fast and NVidia cards are pretty bad at mining. AMD cards are much better for this kind of task.

Ah, the blog I was reading talked about CPU mining for Litecoin, this makes more sense compared to some of the other stuff I was reading.  Good to know, thanks.
