I don't think any hate-on's for Avalon are warranted. They are a bit late. No big deal. They are providing a rare and professional product anyways, that is on spec. There isn't any evidence they are partying it up with lovely Chinese prostitutes or running away to Spain or anything.

I think every Avalon pre-order person should cut them a bit of slack. At least refrain from getting too upset until they are at least * 1 / 10th * as late as BFL. After they are over one tenth as late as BFL then you can have a bit of license to complain.

I'm as anxious as you guys (I'm in batch 3) but can wait a bit longer...

Right on! Only one or two more weeks then!   

Wow I never heard or seen this happen before.

Was it a Sapphire 7950 Vapour-X card?

How much did you get to post this? 10 MNC? Lol... better cash out your earnings fast...

A solution for you could perhaps be buying a USB 3 expansion card.  I'm not sure but I think most of them are PCIE though, so depending on your rigs, you may be losing slots to video cards.  There may by PCI usb 3 cards though, haven't checked...

The more time that passes, the more ASICS will be available. It'll will balance out a bit, but ASICMINER is in position to be a leader for a long time coming.

ASICMINER is in fantastic shape  any way anyone look's at it. They are off to the races... I recommend to you that you buy some of their stocks. If you can't beat'em, join'em.

Well high-five to you then sir. You have an excellent product on your hand if it all pans out. You should go full steam ahead with this.

Be fantastic to augment mining rigs with some usb asic's.

Hell open up a new company with stocks at BCT-TC to raise funds while your at it, because I'd like to buy in.

Maybe this thread should be merged with the "BFL fucks us over again" thread (page 72).

Dream about the exchange prices? Nope, not yet.

Almost borderline compulsively check the exchange rate while I'm awake? Yup, pretty much !

I'm sure in 2014 I'll have a pair of google Glasses with a running market ticker going lol, at this rate.

It'll be interesting to see how anyone could wiggle out of this bet. The terms are very clearly established.

I don't have a unit to test the power usage of it but once this clearly established for the shipped product (not just the early dev versions) than how could this bet not be honored? I bet Josh et al. will  do the right thing here.

 

I think this is a pretty sweet idea. How feasible is it though? Is this more at the 'hey this a good idea stage' or the 'hey I think I can actually make this it wouldn't be that tough' stage?

Have you mined other coins?

It's a fairly easy process that is virtually about the same.  Two steps. Sign up for an account on one of those pools list in the first post. Download the program "guiminer scrypt".  Log in to the pool where you have the account and click on 'getting started' for the settings you need to mine.

MNC isn't a bad first coin to mine because it has a low difficulty so you'll collect full coins quickly.

Sounds like a very stimulating product  !

I recommend heading to Atlantis.

Probably going to end up that AI's will start harvesting humans to mine BTC. The human slave minds will be processing information that is sent to them rendered as holographic simulations, but in fact, are actually hashing algorithm translations that ASICH's are really good at working out.

Hey actually I think that explains 'The Matrix',come to think of it.

Haha nice man, your own little botnet eh hehe... high five to you...

Was the lawsuit going to be for 75m USD or BTC ?

Whew just about doubling. Rough ! 

Ack that sucks to hear.  Had a low auto threshold payment of 2.5 so that's a lot of transaction frees

Not that I'm bitter. I realize setting up a pool isn't the simplest thing to do in the world.. .

And thanks thep33t for your response on my 51% post.

I'm not going to cash out all my coins into USD until 2014 at least.  2013 seems like an unlucky to cash out !

I think bitcoin is actually a more valid currency, and less manipulated, than most 'real' currencies being traded today.

Sure if you are looking at day by day, week by week, sure, good time to sell. See ya man !  Fine and fair point to leave.  

I'm hanging in there. Couldn't care too much anywhere between $50 - $150 next few months. I never sell at a loss.

Please excuse my ignorance but isn't the 51% worry only if there is malicious intent? I'm a little unclear on this.

Said another way, don't you have to actually want to cause an attack if you have over 51% to cause problems? And if you aren't trying to cause damage, than it isn't a problem?
