Meaningful post #3:  Seriously, there is no freakin' way that the company (not named) can produce a magic box that produce 6GH/s for $250.  It defies Moore's law, it defies physics, it defies common sense!  It's easy to prove too, just turn the situation around:  Imagine if you owned a company that can make machines that prints legitimate cash.  How much would you sell it for?  You could mine about $250 of bitcoins in about a week with a 6 GH/s box!  Why would you sell it??  Why people??  Cmon, snake oil, and that's all there is to it.  I feel sorry for all those people that put money down.  Yes they say they're shipping, but I guarantee it's not 6GH/s!  Real ASICS are currently at best about 3 times faster than modern FPGA boards, not 30.

Meaningful post #2.  Would you believe I actually impressed an attractive female with my Bitcoin knowledge?  I wouldn't have thought that women would find money that interesting.
