When I started the genesis block was 16 hours old, although it doesn't look like much mining had happened.  In fact I already solved more blocks with 2-3 cards than whatever was mined during that window.  Client has 20 active connections and growing slowly...

Sent you a message.


Edit:  Good trader.  Thank you

What is it now then?  Double trap?

Good to see POS. 
Great name.

I don't think it's a good idea in the long run to help CPU miners, unless it's simply a result of the algorithm used.

I've always used any random port I felt like???  Doesn't seem to make a difference.

Exactly.  The password protected rar was a great idea for early distribution.  So why isn't it even available 5 minutes *after* the launch.  Lol.

Not enough time for premining yet.

I'm still waiting on an official download link.  Don't trust forum users mediafire links.

Eeesh still nothing other than a torrent file.
What a joke.

If they haven't taped out then I would certainly agree with you.  But I'm not sure why you would assume this hasn't happened.

Should've been 3-4k to at least compete with their upcoming products. 
You do get it first but it's old and inefficient, so in total perhaps just a small premium over 28nm (per GH).

While they haven't shared details of the foundry process, they apparently get the chips back in 4 weeks.  So the 15 week minimum thing is old news now.

Even though BFL is known for delays it's quite likely this will also happen to their competitors.  Look at Hashfast for example.

You can still mine solo if you have a few cards.  It's starting to get a bit patchy with the difficulty but definitely an option.

I'm surprised to see this pick up again... I mined 800 usd in 24hrs on a 4-gpu rig last weekend.  In retrospect it was the perfect sweet spot of low difficulty and high price and I doubt it will happen again as the difficulty is coming up fast now.  But it shows that interest is rising, that's for sure.

I was there pretty early on and remember it trading for multiple btc at the time.  Not sure if that'll happen again given the current btc price.  But hey, most things that happen in crypto seem unbelievable at the time.  So who knows really...

Well they hit 2013 on all lines!  Shame it's nearly the end of the year already 

It's October here!  Timezones :/

They haven't ruled out October yet 

They're all risky but I'd put these way ahead of competition such as cointerra (if you're ordering now).  They have a decent chance of getting out on time, and anything you can get before that 2PH launches is worth a premium.  The miner protection program is nowhere as good as it sounds, but it's certainly icing.

Maybe everyone just got bored by the idea of endless alts.  Mine were sitting there a while and then I decided I might as well dump them all for something that has more volume.

Sell only when the price seems high.  ie in batches once a month.
