You'd think, but no. I wonder if the rats are jumping ship yet.

Hi guys, I've got a Corsair HX1000 for sale. It was used to power my watercooled mining rig for a few months.

The HX1000 is unique in the Corsair line as it's actually a dual 750w unit, being identical to the Thermaltake Toughpower series 1500w (see here). I have personally run this 24/7 at 1300w for over a month with no problems. A few times I took it to 1450w before I undervolted my cards, so I can personally attest to this PSU's hidden greatness

Unit comes with original box and cables, and I'll even throw in a 2-foot 14AWG power cord. I'll have pictures of the actual unit up tomorrow if anyone wants to see it.

Asking $100 equivalent in BTC plus shipping. Escrow accepted of course, but I have solid feedback if you want a quick transaction.

It actually stands for Community College Mental Fortitude.

When you get scared, you should buy.

In December when the price crashed to ~$491 I almost sold. I was watching the drops, my heart was beating out of my chest, and I was sweating something fierce. Instead I shut the computer off, turned on some good TV and bought the next morning. Good decision.

Gox will be irrelevant soon; much more quickly if they do not make good with their customers. Good riddance I say. They deserved the boot when their engine used to get laggy as *#$& but they were the only game in town.

Yes, BTC-E is a European exchange. They usually deal in larger amounts via wire transfer from your bank. Coinbase is great for US customers as you can hook up your bank and do ACH transfers (like when you get a direct deposit of your paycheck) so while they are not technically an exchange, they buy and sell but at a small premium. It's probably the easiest place a US-based customer can get bitcoins.

I've got a Corsair HX1000 for sale. It's actually a 1500w unit under the hood; I've tested it all the way to 1450w at the wall with no problems. PMed.

You must be new here.

Which is exactly what he wants. He is a salesman, and a good one. He sees digital currencies as a threat. I get his e-newsletter. The title of a recent one was something like "our new digital offerings." I believe he is principled but he's also looking out for his own interests.

Overstock does 1 million in sales in Bitcoin, launches rewards program...

Agreed. A million more in sales per month is no small potatoes.

A quick look at the 10 day shows a that if we don't revisit sub 650 (640?) we may be primed for a trend reversal. If we do, however, the downtrend will have more more strength.

Similar situation here... I've cashed out very little since I've been accumulating, but plan to recoup my initial investment later this year whether the price is right or not. I just need to sleep better. That and I can realize a lower long term capital gains tax rate by waiting.

I know, those who expect a scheduled meteoric rise are in for disappointment. It may happen, it may not. I think it probably will, simple supply and demand tells us this. Bitcoin behaves very unpredictably so a huge bull market may be days, weeks or even years away.

No, quite the contrary. The smart ones are in it for the long haul. You won't be getting their coins, that's for sure. The coins you're getting now are the folks who bought in recently, or who don't properly understand Bitcoin, or are fearful of its long-term viability.

I was around then, and I'll just say that most of the fun has been sucked out of this forum. Sure there was panic, but not at the level and not in the style that you see today. Think about this for a minute: Last year the entire trading engine of MtGox, then the only exchange in town, lagged to hell and STOPPED when there was any significant trading activity. People lost money and it crashed the market multiple times.  In my view, that was worse than what we have today, which is an annoying technical blip in the radar in comparison, and the community took it with aplomb. Think what they would do today with that news.

Now that Bitcoin means big money, many of the smart, early speculators who saw the true potential of Bitcoin are gone. Instead we now have average Chicken Littles clogging up the forums, desperate to get their hands on cheap coins, fearful that time and price is going to pass them by.

It's pretty much an echo chamber of trolls, sock puppets, psychological manipulation and people talking their books. There is some good analysis in here, but it's hard to find, and even harder to trust.

The fear is palpable. Bitcoin will spring back just like it always has, and the ones who allowed themselves to get manipulated into selling will regret it.

Guess what, you don't have to fall for it.

Employ liberal use of the ignore button and watch the forum turn to italics during bad news. It's an easy way to call the bottoms.

Wow the trolls and sock puppets are out in full force. Use that ignore button, people!
