Re: ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It
Jerking off to this right now, can you blow it up for me with some higher reso!
Yeah, I just wanted to say that this is pretty much a wet dream come true.
I just found this thread and haven't had a chance to read through the WHOLE thing. I don't have a lot of technical expertise, but I have been thinking a lot lately about an ASIC solution that would repurpose a GPU rig by swapping out the GPUs for ASICs of the similar size and form of GPUs using the same slots and power connections - all in the interest of keeping the network decentralized. Is something like this in the works here or elsewhere? Is it even possible or feasible?
I am also potentially interested in obtaining some shares here. I suspect they have all been bought up long ago, however.
possible, sure. efficient, i don't know. there's a thread in custom hardware about a DIY avalon approach, since avalon has said they want to sell chips. that may be your best place to ask.
as to shares: the IPO was finished ages ago, yes. but there are plenty of people selling them still, either directly, or through passthroughs on a couple exchanges. going price is about .7 btc a share. there's more info on that subject here, if you go back to about tuesday or so of this week in this thread.
