@gigq Apparently, though no more prognostications of $10 exchange rates.

@alansilbert I appreciate the naysayers. I’ll appreciate their public posts more in the far future as I reminisce about the good ol’ days.

@jgarzik @maraoz So… has anyone notified @Strip4Bit et al?

@mikeinspace That’s the million BTC question; @21dotco has determined that it’s better to mine. I can’t say myself w/o hard numbers.

@mikeinspace Well, you don’t know how long a given device will be running; it may be simpler to have it generate satoshis as needed.

via Twitter Web Client in reply to mikeinspace

@mikeinspace That will be up to the device manufacturers to build IoT-style functionality that is useful to the end user.

jgarzik The block size limit -will- be increased, in my opinion.
It’s just a question of when, how and by how much.

@mikeinspace Perhaps; it’s quite hard to speculate as to 21’s profitability without knowing their costs and anticipated mining revenue.

@mauroperetti This is @21dotco’s reasoning, though numbers / algorithms would be nice. https://t.co/VnV41Egp5p http://t.co/ftF018Hjjw

7) There are still many details we don’t know yet, thus much of the discussion about @21dotco is still speculative. Patience!

6) @21dotco hard coding a payout address leads me to conclude that the mining pool will be configurable, otherwise this would be redundant.

5) It’s worth noting the distinction between hard coding a payout address & hard coding a mining (stratum / GBT) server; 21 does the former.

4) Secondly, some are claiming that @21dotco may be in a position to centralize mining further by forcing chips to mine for them.

3) The point of embedded mining is not to earn a profit for the owner of a device, but to generate enough satoshis for the device to use.

via Twitter Web Client in reply to lopp

2) First of all, let’s be clear that embedded BTC mining is not a for-profit operation like you see with large scale mining facilities.

1) There appears to be a great deal of confusion about @21dotco’s vision with regard to embedded BTC mining. Here’s my take:
