[Lab] Thoughts on Bitcoins, and the like?

[Paul & Andrea Mumby]

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

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.
