The Bitcoin Tracking Thread

I bought $100 worth back when they were at $.02, mainly to purchase some Kush on the Silk Road. But I chickened out.

So I'm in Bejing right now trying to find someone on the local Craigslist who will exchange them for gold.
Then I plan on buying a boat to smuggle the gold back into the US, along with a nice Szechuan wife to do my laundry for me. ;D

$100 / $0.02 = 5000 bitcoins. So you have 5000 bitcoins? You're rich!

Yeah I'd be interested in joining the pool. Currently I am a member of www.bitcoinpool.com running phoenix on a cheap ass ATI graphics card at 70M/Hashes a sec. At current difficulty and hash rate it would take me 5 years to mine a bitcoin with that one card lol.

I have the bandwidth and technical ability to assist with the setup as well as a Dell PowerEdge 1950 server that's not currently being used. But it draws about 600 watts so I really don't leave it running. Have ESXi on it just hosting a couple OS's for testing purposes.

Lol... I'm rich in imagining. At least I don't need Bitcoins for that. :)

Radeon 7570 here, so you'll get about 400-500m/hases with that card. Very nice.

You'd probably be better to invest in an ASIC miner. For the money they can't be beat. That is if they can start shipping them anytime soon. Avalon ASIC has shipped batch 1, but they deal in much smaller volume. Around 300 per batch.

I was thinking about BTC when I was just out to get some beers. I was wondering how long before the inventors or the guys who initiated it are found to commit suicide, suddenly get cancer, or are killed in a mysterious car crash.....
