yup, 2BTC each was way too much, but now the thought of 670MH/s for just ~$220 is too much to pass up.

So... I created an account to participate in a group buy.

So.... I have to make a post with several sentences in newbie jail.

So..... I can get out of jail and participate in the group buy.


BTW - forums suck.  Not these forums, any forums.  Terrible UI.  Terrible way to interact with people.  If you want real time, do IRC.  If you want archives, do email list + archives.  Forums are the worst of all worlds.  Hard to search, hard to follow threads, hard to sign/verify content, and everyone has their own email setup they like, but nobody wants to use a browser to read email (unless you actually do, then just use gmail or whatever).  Seriously =( forum hate!

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

depending on the diff increase, still looks like 120-200 days to break even... great for the novelty though! =D

from ASICMiner, yes, but people organize group buys, like this one:

You can see from his past group buys, he seems trustworthy:
