I don't think it is the end of decentralized mining at all. I just started mining a few weeks ago on a 5770 I just happened to have when I rediscovered Bitcoin, and now plan on ordering a Single SC. The way I see it if it is profitable, great, if not, it will cost so little in power compared to the activism credits I get for supporting Bitcoin.
Imported the old fashioned way... fly to Austria, come back with 8 barrels in my luggage. How it made it through security is beyond me (yes it was checked baggage, but can you imagine what the x-ray image would look like? hahahaha)
Lol. Throw a few handfuls of extra computer cables in there for good measure.
Bitcoins will last as long as we do. When we die the executors of our estates will have no idea what bitocins are let along what to do with them. Bitcoins die with their owners.
Thanks, that reminds me I need to fill my wife in on what the hell that USB drive is doing in our safe and how to get/use the bitcoins contained therein should I get hit by a bus.
BitInstant rocks. Bought my first bitcoins the other day, and was very pleased at how quick and easy it was. Can't wait to hear more about the online banking transfer option!
Wow! This is my first time looking in the n00b forum, and am amazed that someone would just come on a forum and ask if they could bum $25. Kinda speaks to how awesome bitcoin is that it makes internet panhandling possible.
