“A bitcoin mining company just sold more than $1,000,000 worth of hardware. ASICMiner is a publicly traded bitcoin company that both operates and sells bitcoin mining hardware. In their latest auction they successfully sold 180 ASIC mining blades for 49.99 bitcoins (BTC) each. Friedcat, the CEO, announced two weeks ago that they would be selling usb-powered mining devices for 1.99 BTC each. There is clearly a lot of demand for bitcoin mining hardware. The question in any gold rush is who will do better: the people mining, or the people selling the shovels? ASICMiner decided they can do both.”
