    Why would I ask such a question about rumors and innuendo?  At first I was dismissive, then I looked a little harder at the technology in the mining.  1) ASICs can solve the problem way faster and for much lower energy cost (Iceland should be happy) than warehouses full of traditional computers, whether CPU or GPU based.  2) It wouldn't cost that much to hold a few of those back, right up to the halvening, only to spring that extra power on over the weekend and force the issue earlier, though this is the greed point I'm stuck on.  3)  Is there an investment in an early halvening that someone who knows (has the mining muscle to force it) an early halvening would be able to make to profit on the event happening a couple of days, hours, or even just minutes early?

    Of so, that would give the rumbling I heard about an early halvening some credit.  If not, vote for option 1.  In either case, it's an interesting discussion point on using the mining technology itself to influence the price before/during/after May 12.  I vote maaaaaaybe.
