Learning the troll avoidance button :)
One year ago, a small group of individuals with a grand vision came together and collaborated their efforts. They shared their idea with the community, allowing others to join in the project to come. Within 6 months, they started the largest collective mine and are now considered one of the most (if not the most) successful Bitcoin companies.

Happy Birthday/Anniversary, BitFountain/ASICMiner! May you have many more.

This Happy Birthday +1 XD

Bitcoin is new, makes sense to hodl.
how hard would it be to make hundreds asic cores like the GPU but only do hashing ?

What do you think current ASICs are?

Wink In my mind, the current ASICs look like this.

after ASIC shifts to 28nm, 22nm, 18nm...1nm, what else could be done ? how hard would it be to make hundreds asic cores like the GPU but only do hashing ?

Learn more, young padawan!

Sounds quite exclusive.
Where's the ocean in Monaco?

"Mediterranean Sea-View" wouldn't fit in the meme and doesn't sound as good, Mr. Geography Police.   Grin

Well, you got to consider Europe is at discount rates now

I'll take a pass on Monaco.  Now Phuket on the other hand...that's more like it.



That's a place to live out of ASICMiner's dividends!

Yeah but I recall a rumour that the new ones might be USB (with its own power of course).  If this is the case, I will be ALL OVER that shit.

But who's going to buy old blades if the new blades come out one week after, without any current information about new product features and pricing?  Buying the old blades right now could be a huge gamble if it means I might miss out on something much better next week.
I bring this up because I'm a large customer.. this could turn other customers away as well

You are forgetting that old blades are overclockable while new ones aren't.

My understanding is the hashrate: price ratio is going to be nearly the same but the newer blades will be easier to work with.  We have some of the old style blades on order and of course will be ordering the new style ones as well as soon as they are available.

Thanks teek.. Friedcat should explain this in his update though.  I'll hold off until the new ones..
