Make of this article what you will, IMO it's pretty neutral giving views from both sides of the fence.

Do we think the US Marshals have asked for this ahead of the imminent BTC auction for a little bump maybe?

Either way, it's BTC being talked about on Wall Street again

For anyone else interested gourmetGR is selling Greek coffee and other gourmet items at very reasonable BTC prices, soon to have an e-shop. He did not require escrow he simply sent items and agreed to receive payment if I liked them  this shows trust in the BTC community, this kind of trust should not be abused as it's what sets us apart from the rest.

Here's the original thread:

Here's my order as promised 

Here's the news from CEX.IO blog:

http://blog.cex.io/cryptonews/cex-io-temporarily-suspends-cloud-mining-services/

They are blaming the BTC price drop & difficulty increase

"as soon as we get an opportunity to upgrade mining hardware, or come to more efficient terms with energy suppliers, cloud mining process will be automatically resumed". - No date given, do not hold your breath.

Is this bad news for the BTC community?

I hope the picture works, just looking for some understanding as to why this happened and how it happened.

I have recently acquired a 1 TH/S Dragon Miner that works fine (it turns out it's a little loud for my partner to deal with) and so I am looking for a trade if possible for 2 x Antminer S3's with 1 x PSU or if anyone is interested in buying it I am open to offers (BTC with escrow of course)

I live in the UK around Greater Manchester area.

OK so I'm going to be honest, I have my eggs in one basket, the PBMining basket, I'm worried it's a sinking ship that many on here are saying has sunk already the customers just don't know it yet as they are buying time.

Can I please get an update on this? What do people know? Where is it going? Is it recoverable?

Of course I've messaged them direct but with zero success despite the fact they have been online since my emails have been sent.

I understand they will be very popular at the moment for all the wrong reasons but they need to give us something more, it's not like we can sell the gh/s like on cex.io and get the hell out, we are stuck here on this ship right in the cargo hold with all the TNT.

Selling PB Mining account with ... gh/s to date and a couple of referrals, one of which tops up regularly of which 10% get's added to the account.

What would be a fair price to expect to receive for this account?

I am also open to offers
