<div dir="ltr">If anyone wants to do a bitcoin transaction, I can certainly facilitate. I've got a fully trusted business account on the Canadian exchange. So I can easily move funds into and out of BTC/CAD<div><br></div>
<div>Also I currently own a business manufacturing custom ASIC based mining equipment (or rather we're close to launching our first product). But you're right. The "individual hobby miner" is becoming a thing of the past. Most of our equipment is targeted to large scale enterprise miners, targeting datacenter deployments.</div>

<div>If I weren't so damned busy lately trying to hold up a day job, run a business, and juggle half a dozen projects at once, I'd drag myself down to Modlab to catch up :) (in which case I'd be happy to get into a discussion with anyone who's interested)</div>

<div>I'm curious if any other list members have been following the crypto currency news recently. I've been watching the space of the last year or two on and off.<br><br></div>
<div>I'm not sure if there are any local vendors that accept bitcoin yet but it is a interesting movement. It is always interesting to hear of restaurants, bars and online stores that are taking it.</div>

<div>Are there any Bitcoin, Lightcoin, etc enthusiasts on the list? Anyone interested in a informal discussion on them some Wednesday during a mod lab?<br><br><br></div>
