in case any knc miners are left, here is a link to the whitehouse petition to change IRS ruling...only 100k more sigs. to go!!

Anyone able to find info on TSMC 20nm cycle times?
I tried googling but found nothing. Seems like its top secret.

I agree. Information so "easy to find", it doesn't exist.
This is a very interesting article, but doesn't really give any timescales, other than suggesting 20nm is harder/takes longer because of the intricacies of double patterning and additional design rules etc

I didn't get anywhere asking our friends to provide industry data, so extrapolation is always fun

aaah, yes. they probably operate at a higher frequency... hmm.... I tried googling but found nothing. Seems like its top secret.

Nice. Competition comes here and the next thing the Communication Director comes online 
Welcome back 'Orama. Missed you! Bring on the big guns.

Orama: I think you'll find our 20nm cycle times are optimised with flux capacitors, swedish pine and christmas lights.
Spongebob-tech: I double dare you to prove your cycle times include double patterning and forward latching christmas lights with optimised low noise pine!
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
I'm worried about BicoinOrama... His personal twitter account has no tweets from a long time. Here he's a gosth. Has BitcoinOrama been eaten from MEGASYPSUPERSEXYEXTRAPOWERTOP Knc mining farm ?

Your prayers have been answered.
I mean, are knc really going to allow a competitor to come into their thread and talk trash?
Let's see some asic hardware tit

BTW...
We all have been over the mining taxation...... straight income tax tallied daily on BTC price sounds scary to me.
Digging into the tax code... looks like capitol gains(as in buy & hold BTC) is much easier to swallow than income tax(Mining)
As a result, there will surely be less American miners soon, and pushed more towards the corporate, large farm level....uuuggh

There are no economic reasons for sole individuals to mine in US anymore. Straight buying and holding for more than 12 mo or longer is the most beneficial.
The rule clearly favors accumulation vs usage, hence the utility of bitcoin in transactions will be probably minimized, unless it is revised later on.
Mining as a hobby for a couple of coins can still go on unimpeded.

With this doggone tax thing, it would make doing the books a real pain in the butt if you use Bitcoin at Starbucks and Amazon, etc.
like it was meant to be.....
I think this ruling needs some tweaking for sure
Mining.....
*It's not currency, but we're taxing it as income..." uggh 20, 25, 30% where are you?
and when buying to hold.... it better be for a year or more, or its taxed just like income as well under capitol gains...
Capitol gains on BTC is like taxing me when the value of my '77 Ranchero goes up yearly.
But they sure do it on Wall street every day buying & selling commodities... acceptable if not a gouge.
hold 1 yr or more....
0 to 15 %for most of us... 20% for rich folks right now if what the wiki says is true.
good luck to all

Altcoins will be finished when Titan arrives....Think about it.

Since you will be converting LTC to BTC, clearly, a scenario where LTC/BTC ratio will dramatically decrease is more plausible.
Mining with expensive rigs looks less and less attractive as a hobby.
I can play with my ants, contribute a few coins for the benefit of mankind, pay a small tax fee, etc.
Maybe, but the price of Bitcoin didn't dramatically decrease when ASICs showed up. There may be an initial rush but it's all going to level out in the end. All the ASICs really do is prevent the average Joe from participating. Once that happens they'll likely move off onto other Alts.
also... 320 plus alts now could stove that off a bit, so... who knows, it will be fun to watch

but...yeah...could be same too. This is more so, and wildly drastically different.
That only works if Titan owners mine and hold
*If 90% of the altcoin mkt was mining to trade immediately for btc....
Maybe, but there's a lot of market to saturate with Scrypt ASICS. By that I mean: there are only a few SHA-256 coins to which you can point a Bitcoin ASIC, and they're all still alive. There are over a hundred Scrypt Alts, which more being created every day. There's a lot more playing field for each device, so I don't necessarily think that the Scrypt ASICS will be the end of the road for Alts.
I am thinking I will likely have to start mining the alt-coins that support ASIC miners and turning them into BTC's to get ahead, unless the amount of Bitoin's in the world increase from 11 million to whatever the next increment is. But Bitcoin will never die.
i'm dabbling - mining SHA alt coins, trading them for BTC and ploughing it all into cloud mining - if you can't beat them, join them.
i decided to make a ceiling on my btc sell price - as soon as it dropped below €450, all btc I gather from mining is getting put straight back into my cloud contracts. by the time btc is up over that ceiling again, i'll have accrued a nice sized contract on the cloud - which will keep hashing for the duration of my contract... and still have my small rig at home to keep running as a hobby.

Bitcoin finished? Bitcoin will never die but these Alt-coins will because they haven't taken the baby steps that Bitcoin has taken, they are more or less the "get rich quick" crypto currencies with a short life span.
in comparison
and he could be right

Poor Alpha Tek says there's no need to match KNC's new offer because they will be out first,
quickly retracting the matching of Mh/$ statement when KNC announced 250 minimum.
Matching KNC would bankrupt them easily, and they only took 1/3rd down... much of which is PayPal.
This really must have tightened the belt for Alpha. I'll be surprised if they survive Titan.
