Lets start a mining hardware company with a website, pictures and preorders and stuff. Nice return policy in real money - get bitcoins let them sit and return the money in USD after a couple of months since, in all fairness you return the investment people made but take the profit of btc value increase. No harm done but no one happy either :X except the website owner :x

And even if the company is legit and makes what it promises if btc keeps rising like this your 1 btc payment would be 0,5 by the time they deliver.

Personally would like to get my hands on some nice asic miner to toy around with but don't wanna pre order anything.

It's alrdy going at 0.5198 at btc-e

Where yersterday it was 0.0223 -> so it is going up alright. Guessing since mining gold has gotten hard it seems the silver is up for grabs

HI, im new to the btc and the alt-coins.

Been following it for a while, never had the guts to buy (saw it the first time a good year ago).
I've been seeing huge lists of alt coins, currently imo the one who brings something new in the mix is ppc and others like namecoins, zerocoins i think.

For the rest I see it as a (gold rush), which started with btc getting traction in the news etc etc.

Don't think BTC will end since it is gathering more and more base.

For the alt coins, there are so damn many. Which one to pick ?
And is their even an alt coin needed next to BTC ? since as far i am understanding the protocol of bit coin can be updated?
So in general I do understand everyone trying to get a piece of the pie and trying to make some new. Where can I check if they pre-mined the coins?


If btc can be updated why not just get the good things from the new coins when needed and stick to BTC?
