    The 11GH/S HexFury Is The Latest In Low-Power ASIC Bitcoin Miners

    img_3103 If you’re a bitcoin nerd, you’ll know that finding cheap, low-power mining hardware is pretty hard to do. USB “thumb drive” miners are traditionally woefully underpowered – the little mining rig under my desk right now is running three three BlockErupters and I’m essentially paying for the pleasure of mining bitcoin – but this 11GH/s unit seems to have… Read More

    Bitcoin ATM Removed After Debut

    Bitcoin ATM Removed After DebutA Bitcoin ATM sounds like a good idea, but one does wonder how come the idea has not caught on already.
