On July 11th 2012 I sent 186.4332 BTC to ButterflyLabs to get my very own Single SC ASIC Miner...
That day has FINALLY arrived.. I am overjoyed to share with you this video.
Bitcoin 101 - Intro to ASIC Mininghttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBBB2JSLftI At first I was a little concerned about sending BFL a large chunk of the 200 BTC I swore I would never spend.. but now that I see the SHEER POWER of 60Gh/s.. well its just a great awesome super day.
And to think... I almost didn't do it and just held onto those 186.4332 BTC.
Anyway... On with the show.
(*I hate to need to explain "the joke", but, over the course of this 4 minute video my profits go down to nothing, because difficulty is rising exponentially and EVERYONE is getting ASIC miners, so the BTC get smaller every pay out. So, after about 2 days I have about 1/2 a bitcoin.. I wonder how long it will take to get the 186.4223 BTC ROI back, yeah right?... Eh, who cares.. its all in good fun I guess.. Sigh.)
