So ASICMINER don't have secondary pool in case 1st pool went offline Huh

. Isn't that like.... easy to setup or something?

We are switching to solo mode since we could not find enough pools having stable connection from China to distribute the hashpower.

The solo solution is being tested/done along with the deployment. The only problem is transparency. We plan to do it with writing information to the coinbase transaction to let everyone check.

You should consider p2pool instead of solo. Your traffic stays local like solo, but your variance is decreased like it would be on a pool.

Not suggesting we actually invest in alt-coins (Although it wouldn't be a bad idea), Just suggesting collecting them and selling them daily on vircurex or something.

So we merge mine with these asics for alt currencies and then dump them on exchanges? Do you realize how fast the value will fall for these alt currencies doing this? It will quickly become worthless. I cant imagine this is the direction ASICminer will go.

Well, Bitcoins on general will not be affected at all I guess, (and probably be bolstered) so I don't think it'll be worthless as the alts are only piggybacked during the mining if I'm not wrong.

seems like the sensible thing to do.
also bolsters these alts against being 51'd
