The website's Alexa ranking is up.

SOME will fall for fraud. When people give up their BTC and $ (Americans) to 100% premined giveaways as 'investment' and 'IPO' (NXT, Mastercoin etc..) to complete strangers, why will people not preinvest in these?

Buy an ASIC when GPUs will produce same hashing power... With new generation of GPUs (what is approximatelly the time when you can receive first batches of ASICs if the whole development is not a scam at all) will be the ASIC less efficient than GPU, eating maybe less power, but uncapable to beat GPUs because GPU miners have a russian strategy - "nas mnogo". You will be able to mine only nonrevolutional LTC (LTC is still too slow and has many bitcoin disadvantages) and a ton of worthles clonecoins looking sadly at people mining scrypt-jane (and other algo coins) which may get some improvements from devs which are now necessary - e. g. ability to be not viable to CTRL+C CTRL+V cloning (its possible - by locking a part of source or just by making coin-network not working at low hashrates = autopurge of all shitcoins)

what's the benefit of LTC over BTC now if ASIC resistance is cancelled

I think a new generation of coins will come about using another hashing algorithm to deter Asics and get hashing back to the masses.  There are people with hundreds of thousands of $ invested in GPU's.  They're not going to let their investment fail without a fight.

We need an algo which's basically calls to OpenGL API cause Graphics card = ASIC of OpenGL.

Bitcoin is a rubbish piece of pile. Bitcoin has to die. I give it 4 points, and Litecoin 7.33 points.

See my sig why.

yeah then gen2 asic = 200MH per machine etc, i think asics will take over if any  of this is for real.

I did hear ddr6 ram is on the next gen of gpus, athough how much different it will make i have no idea.

The golden question is; if Scrypt ASICs are the next big thing; why isn't China already doing it?

Their 25mhash/sec box is $9000

You can get 36  7950s for that price.

Which is the same computational power, roughly.

Of course 36 7950 would use 7000 watts vs the only 600watts for the asic and a heck of a lot more space.



But you could buy that now, build it now, and know that your money is safe. I know what I'd do.

I'd plans for serious investment on Graphics chips.

AMD is LAME. First they lost business to core2duo, then they were gaining on the mining business but they're going to loose out on this one too.

AMD has to die.

yes it's a scam I also work there and we don't have any product or game plan yet so pre-order at your own risk

If you want to be double scammed, there's even a group buy for the pre orders....

Is this real? I only see CAD images, which probably means it's fake (they don't have a real image). And then they say it's out of stock.
