mircea_popescu: $5mn is not even proof of concept, at intel.
fractal: mircea_popescu: $5 mil. tops.
fractal: mircea_popescu: if you follow the inevitable logic -- the entity with access to the smallest manufacturing process will control a PoW such as SHA256. There is 1 entity who always has the smallest fab process -- Intel.. they can do 14nm and put the rest out of business. They won't until the US Government asks them to, or until mining is worth $5B / year or so to make it worth it

kleeck: The $/Bite is SO much better with TAT's 76,200,,000nm burgers.
parseval: Developer licenses for the platform are only $100/year, and they let you use their servers to host it if you let them keep 30% of revenues, or you can pay $70k for licensing and put it on your own servers

ThickAsThieves: "Price of BFL Single: $2499 for 50Ghs. Price for 5x AM blades: 3.5btc x 5 x 130 = $2275 for 50Ghs. Every single BFL device that has been pre-ordered just got undercut.

fractal: if US Gov was smart, they'd create an alt-chain, announce USCoin as official legal tender (obviously after mining 50% and holding them in treasury. ) It would quickly surpass BTC as crypto of choice of the general public, and hit $100B market cap pretty fast. Once other governments catch on, it will be too late, and the US will hold 50% of the worlds cyrpto resserve currency. State-backed blockchains are a sure thing in 5,1
