What a couple of days.

Silk Road is busted, and BTC, after the knee-jerk that always attends any speculative prices on surprise announcements, takes 80% it back and volatility returns almost to normal.

KnC goes a long way to removing "bitcoin ASIC vendor" from the lexicon of synonyms for "con men."

Now if BFL actually ships their chips on or around their promised 100-day points, there might just be some order, good will, and community attitude return to this feckin' business.

Avalon... well, my attitude is, "that was ugly and tragic, but they won't exist going forward, so why should I care?"

Time to do a little real world work.
