Would anyone be interested in a physical bitcoin ticker.

IE a LED "sports/stock" ticker that shows the current Bitcoin price. I've been working on figuring out how to get it started.
You'd have to have the LED plugged into a USB port at all times to receive the power/info but it's not THAT hard.

I don't think they have to surpass BTC, but at least become a contender. I think adding another CryptoCurrency would add legitimacy to BTC if nothing else (assuming LTC or whatever are fairly legit).

I'll be curious to see how this turns out. Good luck!

That's true, just because something is shipped to you're home doesn't imply ownership.

Speculation. But I have to say it's not completely unwarranted.

Honestly watch the price for a day and buy in when it dips the lowest. This weekend you might lose a little money, but over the next month you're guaranteed to start making some serious cash.

Completely. Over the last few months I've just stopped thinking of mining as a reasonable source of income unless you're ready to drop some real dough to get yourself started. And even then it's unclear how long it will last.

It's definitely possible, I think the big question is whether you can differ the first month's rent AND pay for your rig in a decent amount of time. With the rigs coming out this summer It's also unclear how long you'd be able to keep it up for.

It's a pretty big gamble.
First, you're hoping that you will receive it on time, and then hopefully not that many other people will have them.
Honestly if you can snag one before they become really distributed you can at least make back your original investment pretty quickly.

If you have the money to gamble with then yeah go ahead, but IMO it's not worth the risk.

Hey! Finally decided to make an account on here and get into the real discussion! I'm part of a small group of friends that have been slowly investing more and more into bitcoins over the last ~2 years. It really does seem to be the way of the future and I hope to see some real profits this week with Cyprus!
Good luck to all of you!
