If ETH still plans on going PoS you may as well kiss it goodbye. PoS is horrible.

show me any other financial means of moving $1900 worth for only $0.85 globally .... it doesnt exist.

I wouldnt say "better" ...

One major difference is perceived value or inherent value w/ the following meaning:

"if you couldnt trade it, would you still want it?"

Im willing to bet if bitcoin/cryptocurrencies wasnt tradeable .... it would be dead and noone would want it.
Gold or precious metals on the other hand .... people would desire it and they have desired it for thousands and thousands of years.

40?!?! was there a batch I wasnt aware of? how do people have so many already but bitmain says doesnt ship out till july?

From where?

How reliable has it been for you? Have you tried mining on any coinswitching pools or nicehash?

Does this firmware allow bbb and a neptune controller to run a Titan? I ask because I think I have a customer who claims he is doing just that due to his original Titan controller dieing. He purchased my firmware, he said it "installed fine" ... I have no idea if all of the features of my firmware work or not which I told him. LOL! Im very interested to see if my firmware upgrade works "out of the box" on this sorta set up...
I personally, have no way to test this scenario.

You said it "runs faster" in reference to the bbb.... what do you mean by faster, I wouldnt think the Titan would hash faster. Maybe the OS runs faster?

This should answer your question...

(if you look at it anytime soon)

Just wait till hyperinflation of USD sets in ..... people will be flocking to alternative value transfer vehicles to exchange goods and services. In this digital age .... bitcoin has high potential to scale against such an inflation and be a "convenient safe haven" which can still facilitate trade easily.

I never touched any KNC device firmware other than Titan. Never had a neptune or any KNC sha miner =)

No =( just titan.

Id say buy a bit back now, but wait for the majority =)

BTC's price has a long ways to go down before this whole forking business dust settles.

I estimate BTC+BTU after immediate forkage will total in value amounting to $500/unit  (1btc+btu) ... maybe even lower lol

Searing, dont worry, heres what most likely will happen:

Price of LTC vs BTC will continue to drop, like it has consistently for over a year or so.
People w/ new ASICs will continue to dump .. dropping the price even faster.
Difficulty will rise substantially.
Hopefully diff will rise fast enough that Bitmain never ROI's(because people hopefully stop buying) on their creation of a Scrypt ASIC(all god damn crypto ASIC manufactures should just die already.)
Titans and other old equip will be dumped.
Diff will peak then start to come back down due to LTC price being so low, Im thinking by the time all the above happens probably we be at .002btc
Miners who bought new ASICs relearn the hard lesson again that buying new ASICs at full price(usually only option).... often enough, results in really never ROI'ing

Year or 2 later....

New hardware is announced and the vicious cycle starts again ... oh and theres the reward halving =P

Its quite a stupid race really. The trick is getting in at a very advantageous point and then getting out soon as that advantage is gone.

For me, Titan will probably be the last ASIC I ever own ... then sadly this hobby will be dead for me ... which really fucking sucks =(

Its fucking depressing.... and this happens because people cant keep their hands off new miners that will NEVER ROI... fucking fools.

If happen to be looking for Titan firmware check out my firmware here:

Silly as it sounds, try heating the miner using a blow dryer or heat gun for a good couple mins(less time if using heatgun) on the end that has the fan. After done heating it up, then try flipping ON the power switch.

Its easy to panic, dont let it get the best of you.
Maybe bleed off some if you want, but definitely not all. Think a tiny percentage that way if you want to feel better about it, you got some while it was "high" and you still have a majority of it left over for next time it goes up high again =)
Just look at BTC's price history. We were at this level 3 years ago, prior to that the most significant bubble was 2-2.5years before it.
BTC has now been around for over 8 years, it aint going away anytime soon.

The only time you should really start panicking is if a fatal flaw is found in BTC's code which results in systemic failure. For 7 years or so ... this has yet to happen, its a pretty reliable piece of software.



note: I do believe although that because this bubble failed to best the last major bubble.... we have found btc's mid term(5-10yrs) trading channel.... sub $1200

Thats cuz theres not much news to cover.... this isnt record breaking yet.
Somewhere around $1300 is record breaking =P

countryfree: the funny thing is .... even with all these "scalability problems" ... bitcoin continues to function perfectly fine, as long as you know what you're doing or you're patient when it comes to transaction / confirmation times.

Also, its a damn good thing segwit has so little support ... the last thing we need is btc being undermined by people who want to centrally control it. FUCK THEM!

The simple truth:
If you have a Scrypt ASIC NOW .... congrats, you already ROI'd and will keep doing so for a lil while longer.
If you plan on buying A4 / L3 .... congrats, it will take at least a year+ to ever ROI.... if diff and price stay where they are. We all know diff will skyrocket because people are addicted to mining even if its in the red.... so ROI will be 2-4years ... by then LTC may be completely worthless ... given how its done nothing but gone down consistently for the last 1-2 against BTC.
