It was interesting to follow the discussion about this. It is true that the share price seems rather high considering the hash power it represents right now. Compared to some perpetual mining bonds, it is true. However, companies like Cognitive intend to stay ahead of the pack in the long run. If they can do that and at the same time the dollar price of bitcoin goes up, the this a is really good long-term investment.
Ultimately the whole success of the bitcoin economy depends on whether bitcoin becomes widely accepted and as a result whether there is a steady flow of dollars into bitcoins. If, as we all hope, this happens, those who can keep up the pace will win big time.
Isn't the share price of Basic Mining even more outrageous considering the amount of shares out there? Or am I missing something?
I think, you are right. Their hash power per share is 3-4 times less than that of Cognitive. At the same time the share price is similar.
Is it? BM is currently 445G/h with another 500 in transit, I'm not sure where Cog is currently, is it 83 and 160ish after the 2nd avalon arrives this weekend? BM has 5x more shares outstanding so unless I am way off on Cog's current hashrate.....
He said 330+ Gh/s .. by the end of this week.
By the end of the week and 330gh/s? Nah, more like by three hours ago and 393gh/s!
Today I received the final two of our four Avalons, and now they're all happily hashing away at a location with redundant power and internet
And who doesn't like pictures!?
Shiny new boxes:
Protip: Before ever turning on an Avalon that has been through the mail: Always check for loose nuts!
Driving to the Avalons' new home...
And here they are, hashing away at a steady 320+ gh/s
(One of them has an extra hash unit.)
This puts our total hashrate at:
320 from the Avalons
60 from the SC Single
13 from the FPGAs
= a total of 393gh/s mining for us right now
And BFL still owes us 7 more SC singles, which equals an additional 420gh/s which we will receive very soon.
Then after we receive our Avalon chips we will be hashing at well over 1th/s
Cheers,
