Higher resolution would help too. Prices are blurry.

for some reason the quality currently sucks really bad (doesn't on my end). maybe it'll get better once the youtube re-encoder has finished his duties for higher qualities or something

  i love that.
make a 10min version of it and put classical music in the background...("claire de la lune" by debussy)
call that art! 

edit: what would be really cool if somebody put the current value in some corner.
then we could have even a ticker at the top.

Awesome.  If only you could align the prices between charts it would be even better.  But I imagine that would be a pain.

I still have all the data so it would not be hard to re-encode with static axis. Unfortunately, I don't have the price data archived though.

Bye bye double digits 

Single digits on the way ?

Awsome !

Power-efficient mining on a CPU coming soon at the shop near your house -> http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-sha-extensions 

Wow - could this make all those ASICs defunct and useless ?

I wonder how it will perform.

when can we get some?!?!?! I'd like to buy some of those chips! I think this is going to be a game changer.

could you program chartbuddy's script to show the current price in the middle at the top?
Everybody's looking at bitcoinity or oth. sites to check price, but for animation and historical purposes it could perhaps be a nice gimmick in the future.

I don't know how the intel extensions will perform, time will tell, but i think this is big news for Bitcoin, it's like an ASIC inside every PC in the world.

Well, someone with more hardware knowledge should correct me if I'm wrong here, but currently I don't think it's possible to perform hashing functions more efficiently than an ASIC chip, as they are a hardware solution, designed only to do one thing. I'm sure someone will interject with something about quantum computing here, and I will say okay, sure.

A CPU sucks at running SHA256, because all the work is done on a software level, which is inherently slower, instructions are executed one at a time, and there is no logic being applied to how they are carried out. What I *think* this new extension aims to do, is add an SSE level logical process to the CPU that will be able to analyse the SHA instructions, and execute dupicates simultaneously, instead of in the order recieved. This will provide a significant speed boost to CPU SHA performance, but probably nowhere near the magnitude requred to compete with an ASIC chip.

wow, i don't even understand half of what is written there  ,
perhaps a cpu won't become the ultimate mining chip but to even implement that feature is really interesting.
Especially in the future when the goldrush is over and it's all about the network for transactions.

It's hard to understand the girl but she definitely has her head screwed on straight.

While all of this may be true, you're forgetting about the underlying but core piece of information: Intel, the #1 chip maker in the world, is getting into the mining race. Time (and profit) will tell how serious they go about it.

btcchina is on a 24h high, just saying.

That has proven as a pretty good indicator so far.
