Basically both things in the same chip as far as I know.

GPU-mining still have several months of profitable mining even with the diff going up.
And as long as you can sell your gpu's when you feel they have outlived their purpose you will have good chances of getting your return of the investment and a profit out of it in the end.

Don't be sad, gpu's have great resale-value - both miners and gamers are still in love with those nifty little chips from amd.
But I think the price is about right for that scrypt-asic miner and if they are able to provide the scene with a steady supply we'll see an even more rapid increase in difficulty and thus rendering our nice little gpu-rigs utter useless for scrypt-mining soon. Sigh.
Unless you've got some crazy deal with free power and cheap gpu's (got free power myself tho. )

The value of both btc and ltc must nearly triple if that 80g-/3mhs contraption will have any chance making the return of investment at the price of 4300 buckaroos...
Only reason you would buy this is if you're pretty darn sure that this will happen and hanging on to the mined coins until it eventually does.

$2k is doable, how would one go forth and order from this chap?

3mhs scrypt + 100ghs sha356 sounds like an expensive thing when it eventually will hit the marked lol.

From their roadmap it seems like they have set July for the initial release of their product?

Of course the cat/btc price will fall when btc/usd is on the rise.... It is too intertwined with fiat not to.

As I'm writing this
teamcatcoin.com got 74.65 mhs
catpool.pw 63.56 mhs
coinium.org 201.63 mhs
- Net hash on all pools show 0.15 ghs

Was considering lag but it just shifted from 0.16 to 0.15 ghs?

Putting a couple of my workers over to mining cats to help get through those last blocks until '290 is hit.
Only 7 left as I write this, good luck to Cat.

Still have not dumped any of my cats.

Was thinking of dumping my catcoins due to low hashrate on the network combined with the trending downward price but think I will just hang in there and see what will happen.
Diff/total H.rate is way to heavy for me to put my miners on the cat at the moment tho, unfortunately I think a lot of smalltimers like myself are thinking the same and thus the rate will stay low...

What would be the worst that would happen if it was hard forked into submission to lower the difficulty? It seem to me like a viable move in order to get miners back on the network.
But you guys figure that part out, I'll just sit back and lurk in the shadows bidding my time.

Wow, Catcoin is on Cryptsy already. Well done guys and girls who have worked hard to make that happen.
Is the Cat on any other exchange than cryptsy and coinedup atm?

Catcoins everywhere!

That was pretty quick

Did http://www.catpool.co/ fork and die?

My cat died not too long ago so any pictures with it would be frowned upon I'm afraid.

Thought I would have a go at it.

Heisann,

Er ikke helt fremmed for å bli med på en slik en.
Vet du noe om hvilket tidsperspektiv de opererer med med tanke på levering etter bestilling? (Etter september som er deres ETA på shipping av de første enhetene altså)
Litt avhengig av hvor/når/hvordan så har jeg et par andre bekjente som også vurderer å investere i et slikt spleiseprosjekt.


- Første post gitt 0o - Henger normalt i slush-forumet men kan ikke poste der og har ikke tatt meg bryet med å finne ut hvorfor hehe.
