One person interviewed said, "There's proof, and you can't deny proof." Another person goes into great detail explaining the mathematics of the structure, albeit he doesn't mention Bitcoin, probably to assure his place in the queue while he waits for his funds to transfer out of Mt Gox so that he can place his commercial-size order once pricing is announced.

Meanwhile, police are on site to guard against bitcoiner-wannabes from plugging into the CC-1, directing hash power toward some pool using their bitcoin wallet address as the receiving address.

Performance: GH/s

Power: 0 Watts (All Green)

Die Size: 1 Acre2

Price: TBD

Tap-out Date: Complete

Proof of GreenMiner's CC-1 is all over the internet, namely YouTube, albeit the engineers behind the world's largest bitcoin miner have yet to come forward. Rumor as it that they may move their field array to an undisclosed location to fend off prying eyes.

There's reason to believe that at least one CC-1 was briefly connected to a live pool, oppose to a testnet, with one pool operator stating, "Since I'm not in the business of disclosing private datas, I'll simply point out that there are no CC-1 miners mining on our pool."

Meanwhile, CES-goers are readying themselves to attend the 2014 show in Las Vegas, hopefully to meetup with those behind GreenMiner.

192.com Limited is a British company that publishes an online directory as well as information contained within the public domain for the UK, based in London.

Founded in 1997 by Alastair Crawford, 192.com Limited evolved from a CD-ROM product called UK Info Disk,[3] the best selling non-game CD-ROM product of its time. 192.com publishes the Edited Electoral Roll in electronic media, previously the roll had been available for consultation only in public libraries and town halls. The company offered an alternative to British Telecom's previous monopoly of telephone directory enquiries.[1]. There were a number of lawsuits related to this online challenge.

During the dotcom bubble in 2001[4] icd publishing was valued at £100 million.

The company provides online directory enquiries and competes with BT, Google Local, Yelp and the Yell Group (the holding company now known as hibu, as of 2012 [5] ) or the directory enquiry market. It is the market leader DQ for finding people.[6]

I think my GreenMiner slant was more entertaining.

Well, mow me down!

I have two groups of email addresses (192) but I believe there were a total of 5 groups of emails leaked.

The acre plot thickens!
