I'd never considered that there would be journalistic ethics issues around making money during the course of a story.
The solution of effectively destroying the earned money is pretty funny, given that that's an occasionally expressed concern.
- cma 13y ago> So we’re destroying the private key used by our Bitcon wallet. I wonder if the typo was intentional.
- wmf 13y agoAt least they're sensitive to the issue. BFL customers who paid in full 11 months ago are pissed to see Ars and Wired (aren't they the same company?) getting free equipment before paying customers.
- nobodysfool 13y agoI believe 11 months ago, the price for a Jalapeno was $150, and they increased the cost to $270, while giving it just a slight jump in speed.

Also, failing to disclose that he was mining on a BFL employee's mining pool (Eclipse Mining Consortium) is connected to BFL-Josh completely destroys any credibility that otherwise might have been. I'm less impressed than ever WRT Robert McMillan's journalistic ethics.
