A friend of mine bought some Protoshares and they have been all the time on Cryptsy. I think it is a pretty unfair decision to not give him his resulting BitSharesX. (Even if this decision was announced ahead.

Other than that I made pretty good experience beside that I lost a lot of BTC - but that have been really bad trading decisions last November - nothing to blame you for...

Keep going and good luck!

regarding price and HR, this list: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison is perfectly fine for my analysis, all that is missing are dates associated with the miners.

I am looking for a comprehensive list like: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison

It should at least include price, Hashrate, and power consumption. But in addition to the list from the wiki it should include two dates: first announcement and first shipping date (or at least one of these)

I would like to try to find a correlation of these data and the difficulty change over time. And finally use it for a better forecast of the difficulty for the next 6 month.

Thanks for your help.
