Notes: Mhash/s = millions hashes per second (double sha256 raw speed performance; may not be very energy efficient with some models) Mhash/J = millions hashes per joule (energy efficiency; 1 joule of energy is 1 watt during 1 second: 1 J = 1 W*s) W = watt (maximum power consumption, i.e. energy per unit of time: 1 W = 1 J/s) Be sure to research any of these vendors and machines intensely before spending any money. ↑ Fpgaminer (May 19, 2011).

Bitcoin implodes, falls more than 90 percent from June peak.

Bitcoin, the world's first peer-to-peer digital currency, fell below $3 on Monday.

Bitcoin implodes, falls more than 90 percent from June peak

That represents a 90 percent fall since the currency hit its peak in early June. Supporters argue that Bitcoin has fundamental advantages over conventional currencies. The system is designed to transfer funds without a central authority, freeing Bitcoin users from bank fees and government regulations. The Bitcoin protocol offers robust anonymity, and the protocol guarantees that there will never be more than 21 million Bitcoins in existence, which supporters have argued would give the currency a stable value.

Unfortunately, the currency's value hasn't proven stable in practice. Trading resumed in late June at around $17, and the currency's value has been steadily declining ever since. So is Bitcoin doomed? And that's Bitcoin's fundamental challenge: as far as we can tell, the volume of Bitcoin-denominated transactions is tiny. And that's not surprising. There are also risks due to volatility. .:D:. Bitcoin mining pool.
