How to become a Bitcoin Millionaire => http://goo.gl/8Xobwl 23-year-old releases new chips that 'mine' Bitcoins 50 times faster Being the first company to get this new technology into customers' hands is big news in the Bitcoin community, where early adopters consistently reap a lion's share of the available virtual profit. Given the current Bitcoin market, where prices change everyday, the Bitcoin Foundation estimates that one of Guo's new chips will initially net buyers anywhere between $200 to $300 in Bitcoins per day. However, that reward will quickly diminsh as the number of ASICs in use grows, since the crytographic "difficulty" of mining increases proportionally in order to prevent inflation. The initial round of pre-orders is being delivered throughout the month, and Guo hopes to have the next round available to ship shortly after March 5th. The second batch of Avalon V1s is available to order now for $1,499, and the company has also made a $499 upgrade module available that adds around 25 percent more mining power to existing units. Guo's main competitor, Butterfly Labs, is also preparing to deliver its comparable ASICs later this month, but chip fabrication problems have caused the company a number of delays.
