Lol. This business is moving so fast that 9 months feel like it happened in a past life. Incredible. It also puts the success of bitfountain into perspective. I considered myself an optimist back then.

For those of you who are wondering why I sold at 2.5. It's simple investor strategy - i.e. risk management. Holding bitcoins has a different risk exposure than holding dividend paying stocks. I still believe that 2.5 is a good entry level point for the right investors, simply due to the expected return.

Why didn't he sell all 10,000 then and become a millionaire?  Wink

Because there isn't enough demand. There was already a price drop when he posted he was selling 2k, imagine selling 10k..

No escrow (I need funds fast), if you don't like it don't trade. I've been here since 2012 and I've conducted various trades.

PM for details. First come first serve.

You only had them one week?

It would be nice if we had a wiki page, listing all the known ASIC competitors, their proposed product lines, their location, their specs and their production schedule.

Random prediction's of the past too Smiley

I'm interested in what happened in Africa in the 1990's and 2000's. In many parts there infrastructure is poor, and liable to being unmaintained, stolen, or destroyed by conflict. Many parts of Africa have good mobile phone networks, though, as they're relatively cheap to deploy and can be deployed in numbers to provide redundancy (or even just moved around on trucks). If you said to a villager in many parts of Africa that his mobile phone can generate $2 a day if it does Bitcoin, he'd probably offer his daughter to you.

I've had a couple more thoughts riffing on this idea over a glass of wine. Yes, it is after 5 where I am.  Smiley

Make the chips as cheap as possible, maybe even *pay* mobile phone makers to bundle them into handsets.

Consider collaborating with other leading Bitcoin miners to fund development. Design goals are the best performance possible with low power. It will be designed to go into a cheap phone, so sleek design is not so important, i.e., the phone might be a "brick" with a larger battery.



Great idea. The bitcoins on phone can be changed to credit automatically. A phne that makes its own free credit.

In some places in Africa, cell phone minutes are actually used as a type of currency. Once someone figures out how to implement this idea (although I am skeptical until batteries can put out a lot more juice), OR trade bitcoins via SMS, I think we will have a MASSIVE market that opens up in Africa.

Not just in Africa, the whole world really. Everyone uses cellphones and everyone wants free minutes.

This is actually a brilliant idea and doable. The phone wouldn't last very long but if it's a disposable free phone then it can beat out the Obama phone the US government is offering. You could just distribute the free phone to anyone who currently has an Obama phone as marketing.

Is someone actually intending to work on this idea? It seems like it could be doable right now.

What were back on topic
And I was going to let these shenanigans go on to the next page  Wink



What's the topic? Hard to sort it from those nasty shenanigans Wink

I just pity a future investor who turns up in 6 months time doing research and has 700 pages of this to go through rather than the 376 I forced myself through.

Although I have to say, when you read "Fast-forward" style, you get a reward of a friedcat post every hour. In real-time, this thread is a lot less exciting, no disrepect intended, I'm eagerly awaiting my first real-time friedcat post  Grin

When I started it was page 252 but future investors will just have to make do  Cool
And we need more cat photos to add to the excitement for future readers hehe
Looks at clock oh sometime today Smiley

In the last hour we've had 2 blocks found, the last one was 45 mins ago. 

Hmm... won't that make the dividends take much longer than usual today?

That makes little sense. The difficulty is not adjusted once every 2 weeks, it is adjusted once every 2016 blocks. So if they "froze" the current difficulty and got tons of new board online, then the difficulty is going to rise in a day or so instead of 5, neutralizing the effect.

The difficulty increase will be a bit less, yes, but that's not worth it when you have BFL & Avalon starting to ship more, and with the lost mining power.

At the current block discovery rate, these 2016 blocks are going to take 3-4 weeks.  In the last hour we've had 2 blocks found, the last one was 45 mins ago. 

I'm not discounting your point, it would seem to be of limited value, but you have to admit that the timing feels right.

Since you insist, here's another speculative angle.

Maybe they took hashes offline because they realized they could freeze the current difficulty for a bit while they work on getting the new boards ready.
