One reason I jumped on ftc early on was that the btc blockchain was so large that I just killed it. Even litecoin takes forever. I’d like for ftc to have that size blockchain, but it seems that something must be done so that such an upfront hit is not required.

(semi-related) I don’t ever see any discussions about how unfeasible it is for everyone to be throwing around this ever grown file, but it seems it could become an achilles heal for p2p CCs unless there’s an easier way to decentralize the blockchain itself.

Very interesting to see how this will develop.

The cost/hashrate is really not that good to warrant pre-order. Especially if they fail to to make delivery in Q1.

I actually think this will help stop the rampant difficulty increases in script coins as new miners will get their money locked up in this possibly bad investment and others will be held off.

Could feathercoin make something like an asic-proof coin maybe? It feels very bad to have an increase in concentration regarding mining power. After all I believe a coin should be available for everyone to mine. Instead of going for coin security through hashrate one should make it through technological securities instead, so that regardless of hashrate on the coin it will always be secure.

lets hope that one of those USB ASIC block eruptors for scrypt is out? :)
Mining for everyone :P
