Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

unless you setup 7850 mining rigs on a massive scale, a single 7850 literary mine next to nothing/day

Pretty close to it.  They're worse than a 5870 for mining...

Density my friend, density. When you take into account the platform costs [storage space, mobo, psu, cpu ram], costs will be similar.

I disagree sub 850 watt psus are less than $100 while 1000-1200 watts are over $250 that right there covers the mobo psu and ram. Plus the 7850's have better M/hash per $.

I have 2 XFX 6950s in my mining rig, I don't recommend them.  They run hot and one of them wouldn't let me flash the 6970 bios (only card out of 5, other 3 are ASUS, MSI and Sapphire - all 6950s)

i'm not sure i've ever seen my 7850 above 60oC,  it's an msi twin frozr 2GB they had on newegg for I believe it was $160 AR, maybe $170.


same deal w/ the games though

it gets about the same hash rate as a 5830 (*but uses a lot less electricity).  after you sell the games and do the rebate, if you sold your 5830 used, you'd end up about even... with a card that'll be worth a lot more in the not so distant future when there's some godawful amount of 5830's on ebay
