lololol.

maybe bitcoin can save the porn industry. start accepting bitcoins. anon payments encourages the average family man to get away with subscribing to porn without the wife knowing.

They totally put TradeHill out of business back in the day. That was a great exchange. They advertised zero charge back risk to their merchants. One day they gave tradehill like 30k or more of chargebacks. They tried to change their terms of service and website after the fact but the internet never forgets.

Lawsuit now in court. Tradehill just opened up again though.

Well let's see... The average botnet is comprised of mostly old shitty unsecured computers. 95% of the GPUs that are infected in the botnet are not capable of any kind of decent output. With the constant strain on the CPU even computer illiterate people will notice and be on the phone with tech support so they can get back to status updates on twitter and facebook and there goes the majority of your hard earned botnet.

There is only one person I see bitcoin mining with a botnet of 10,000+ computers. He claims the output is 20GH/s on the botnet. That's pocket change compared to what the majority of professional miners are outputting. Even the new ASIC miners will push 60GH/s. Serious miners will have multiple rigs. 10 ASIC miners would net 1 person 600GH/s.

So all in all, if you did any research you'd know that botnetters have reported trying it and found it to be not profitable.

just got this on the pricing structure for batch 3 avalons, wow!

Pricing is based on BTC, and not USD. So depending on configuration, it is 72BTC to 115BTC (which is >usd 4200K for lowest config, at current BTC price).

Have you seen the Ebay prices?

i can only imagne, $25k?? i didn't realize all the configs on that rig i linked are already sold out!

there's some others that are still in the $1299 for 60 GH/s range for preorder from a couple other vendors that i just double-checked.

it is at 88

indeed it is.

Imagine when people start selling them instead pumping cash into BC scheme, huge dropppppp!

Yep. If they all bought a bitcoin when Franck discovered them two weeks ago, they'll have each made about $40. Serious business.
