ThickAsThieves: i was thinking about this
a few days ago coincidentally
mircea_popescu: here's
a wild thought : by the time bitcoins go for 1 mn dollars each,
mircea_popescu: by niow you could probably make
a bfl competitor out of markov chains and php
thestringpuller: I imagine Josh just copy pasting the same message every time there is
a delay
kakobrekla: Due to the delay for the earliest people, the ones affected will be upgraded to the watercooled version for free. The watercooled Monarch will be
a closed loop system, so no maintenance will be required.
kakobrekla: When I have
a specific date from the foundry, I will post an update here with
a revised timeline. We still expect to ship the bulk of the orders in/around February. Anyone ordering now will probably not get their order until March or April, just as an FYI and in the spirit of trying to keep realistic expectations on shipping times.
kakobrekla: >BFL_Josh>here's been
a bit of
a delay at the foundry on our chips and scheduling. The sample chips have been delayed
a few weeks (still waiting on an exact date), so this should only affect the earliest customers, who we've already contacted with regards to the delay. The majority of customers should not be affected much, if at all.

TomServo: What is really needed is
a system where coins outside of circulation lose value so that the length of the blockchain can be easily kept to
a manageable size because lost coins will disappear and the amount of history you have to keep (and verify) will be much smaller.
TomServo: Here's some good humor,
a slashdot comment for
a solution to blockchain bloat:
ThickAsThieves: Once the number of Bitcoins in circulation reaches 21 million in 2024, bounties will no longer be paid out on block discovery, and facilities such as ASICMINER's will have
a choice: to either re-purpose their cooled computing power, or shut their mines down forever.
deadweasel: News: If you used your password to login between 06:00 Dec 1 UTC and 20:00 Dec 2 UTC (this is in the future -- do not login until then), then your password may have been captured in
a man-in-the-middle attack, and you should change your password here and wherever else you used it. If you were only logged in via the "remember me" feature, then you're OK.

KRS|gotyawallet: basically- if this is true, hold your coins..according to him its going to be

KRS|gotyawallet: what bothers me still is that the price still looks so much like
a bubble, even after realizing what was done yesterday/earlier.
KRS|gotyawallet: @PumpNDumpTeam That wasn't
a crash. It was retaliation towards pump and dumpers....
random_cat: unless you can find
a suitable synthetic

a straddle if the price goes too high
