The pricing seems to have increased dramatically compared to the 1st and 2nd batches. 1200, 1500, and currently ~5300+. It seems to be a very large jump, but if you have had the coin, then you can justify the cost.

I travel from Little Rock to Memphis often. I would mind meeting up and  hearing some ideas in the current events of the community. If there are some current meetups that are active, I would like to know.

Thank you for that input, I must have over looked that small detail in the restrictions.

I will send you a pm once the four hour mark hits.

Get started with a used GPU and hash away. If you like the concept and are comfortable with the costs involved maintaining a mining rig, then invest into the ASICs when the third batch of pre orders are available from Avalon.

Does the price include shipping? Is it a standard 20 mil or 30 mil thickness? Will you have a thread opened for the orders to be posted?

I am running ~200MH/s with an old system I had for gaming from time to time. It's more or less a space heater for my room.

I think that most governments are keeping a close eye on the whole concept of Bitcoin. They would like to merge into one global currency, similar to how the EU merged most of Europe with the use of the Euro. I know some of the political figures have had some negative words for Bitcoin, but the past three months have given the community an overall positive image to the public. If we are to combine the use of Bitcoin and a mainstream payment system, I would think that it would ease the adoption for most consumers that may not be extremely knowledgeable of the basics of Bitcoin. I give seven years for a proper integration or Bitcoin fails. If we as a community can not have things properly streamlined by the year 2020, I will withdraw all support for Bitcoin.

Hello All! I have been lurking for right at two years this month. I finally decided to make myself more involved. I have been mining since May of 2011 and have seen many changes over the past couple of years. I look forward in continuing helping the network with my little rig, even though I am making no profit at all. I look forward to making some positive efforts within the community this year.
