How many of those are fake , I wonder...
Crap , I spent to much time playing with "speak like yoda".

[Dragonkiller]

you can make bad news come out of china whenever you want. perfect FUD source for manipulators

[SaltySpitoon]

What a stupid FUD.  If ebay, an US company,  banned bitcoin miner trading, does it mean the US banned bitcoin miner?

Ebay has more or less banned Bitcoin miners. Try selling miners on Ebay.com and you either get your listings taken down, or you have absolutely no sellers protections.

[freddyfarnsworth]

Only prepay, and contracts (those rippoff artists).

There are a heck of a lot of bitcoin miners on ebay.

[crazy_rabbit]

Do you people think this could extend to the manufacturing of asic chips?

I doubt it.

[Dafar]

What's next though.. China bans bitcoin/litecoin mining period?

That's a huge chunk of miners gone.

[disclaimer201]

Let them do what they will. Only thing that will happen is they get left out of a billion dollar market. In fact, it is so unlikely any country would willingly sabotage its own profit margins with such legislation that I find it much more likely this is all a big FUD campaign to buy bitcoins cheaply and manipulate the market. One legislation today, another in three months. Loopholes etc... The Chinese are not dumb.

[freddyfarnsworth]

Never dumb, but would take from the people to mine themselves doncha think...

Does anyone qualified know whether the "Bitcoin mining" ban refers to Taobao only or whether it is an order from the PBOC to the whole of China?

I looked at it in Google Translate yesterday, but it looked unclear to me. It would surprise me if they really banned Bitcoin mining nationally. We have seen no drop in hashrate nor have we seen news reports about this, so probably not.

Blitz , I wondered for one month , why the hell we have a Chinese subforum when we can't  get any accurate translation or news of what is happening there.
After the first announce in early December it took almost a week to get a poorly translated text which didn't clear anything.

This, exactly this! Any news coming from China stays in the uncertainty limbo for a while until somebody on the west decide to look it up
Sometimes I wonder if all this China craziness is completely made up, seriously how is it possible??

+1

would be really good to have some trustable users from chinese subforum who could shed light on what's going in china on a regular basis.
i saw the same problem on AsicMiner thread when a chinese interview with friedcat took quite some time until it appeared there.
unfortunately it seems to me there are rarely chinese users on the english forum, at least we get updates like this one from time to time
which recalibrate the perspective on the current situation there.
