    Re: Mining hardware comparison

    I'm still sticking with Litecoin. I hope I'm right about it. I may be wrong, and everything just goes to Bitcoin.



    Litecoin is still almost double from where I purchased it at least.

    Here appears to be a fund set up so people like hedge funds can invest in bitcoins. Minimum account size is 100,000 euros.
    https://exante.eu/press/news/266/

    They manage your key for a 1% fee.

    Once hedge funds go into bitcoin, it's price will go through the stratosphere.

    Max Keiser might be working on this:
    The actual tweet from his twitter account @maxkeiser: "I have a personal goal of getting hedgies involved to drive BTC to $1,000. | For non-US res. Exante.eu can hook you up with BTC ($100K min.)"

    Take advantage of this opportunity. It's unique. We're actually ahead of the big money because they can't get their money into bitcoin at the moment. They aren't ballsy enough to risk doing it themselves because if you miss-type a single character of your bitcoin address you permanently lose everything. The exchanges aren't big enough or trustworthy enough for very big money. We're ahead of them this time.

    And I'd personally go for bitcoins and not the others. At least hold some.
    Hmmm hedge funds for bitcoins, sounds like a fractional reserve paper market getting started, recommended by Max Keiserstein... 10:1 ratio? Not a bad deal for them. Selling fake bitcoins for $250, to the public, crashing the market with a coordinated smack down and media campaign. They will make a killing!

    That sounds a bit scary?

    This isn't as scary as it sounds:


    Most Bitcoin addresses are 34 characters. They consist of random digits and uppercase and lowercase letters, with the exception that the uppercase letter "O", uppercase letter "I", lowercase letter "l", and the number "0" are never used to prevent visual ambiguity.


    Some Bitcoin addresses can be shorter than 34 characters (as few as 27 in theory) and still be valid. A significant percentage of Bitcoin addresses are only 33 characters, and some addresses may be even shorter. Every Bitcoin address stands for a number - somewhat like an account number. These shorter addresses are valid simply because they stand for numbers that happen to start with zeroes, and when the zeroes are omitted, the encoded address gets shorter.


    Several of the characters inside a Bitcoin address are used as a checksum so that typographical errors can be automatically found and rejected. The checksum also allows Bitcoin software to confirm that a 33-character (or shorter) address is in fact valid and isn't simply an address with a missing character.

    Or the market could turn them into Beanie Babies. Why one bitcoin could windup carrying the value of all U.S. Debt.
